A STRANGE STORY.

"Not long ago." says the London
Daily Telegraph, "a well,knoWn col
lector of curiosities in Paris, who
had devoted considerable sums Of
money to the gathering together Of
bank notes of all countries and all
values, became the possessor of a
Bank of England five pound note, to
which an unusually strange store was
attached. This note was paid into
Liverpool merchants office in the
ordinary way of business 81 years
ago, and its recipient, the cashier of
the firm. while holding it up to the
light to test its genuineness noticed
some faint red marks upon it which
on closer examination, groved to be
semi-effaced words, scrawled in blood
between the printed lines and upon
the blank margin of the note. Ex-
traordinary pains were taken to de-
cipher these partly oblilerated char
acters, and eventually the following
sentence was made out: "If this note
should fall into the hands Of John
Dean, of Long Hill, near Carlisle, be
will learn hereby that his brother is
languishing prisoner in AlgieIs."
Mr.. Dean was promptly communica-
ted with by the holder of the note,
and be appealed TO the government
of the day for assistance in his en-
deavor to obtain his brothers re-
lease from captivity. Tae prisoner,
who, as it subsequently appeared,
had traced the abovr sentence upon
tue note with splinter of wood dip
ped In his own blood, had been
slave to the Dcy of Algiers for ele-
ven years, when his strang missive
first attracted attention in Liver
pool counting house. His family
and friends had long believed him
dead. Eventually his brother, with
the aid of the British authorities ia
the Mediterranean, succeeded in ran
soming him from the Dey, and
brought him home to England,
where, however, he did not long sur
vfve his release, his constitution hav-
ing been irreparabH injured by ex-
posure, priyations and forced labor
in the Dey's galleys.

A Danbury Plumbers Apprentice.

One of the plumbing establish
ments Of Danbury took in new jour
neYmen the other day. He was from
the hamlet over in New York State,
q little hamlet where he had worked
with his father. The day after his
arrival there was burst in the
ter-pipe of house in Pine street.
He was told to 60 over there and at
tend to it. Seeing the owner of the
house in the shop he went up to him
and got the particulars of the break,
and then he made ready with his
tools and started. just as he was
passing the door the proprietor saw
him. "Whers are you goingw The
new man told. "Do you mean to tell
me that you are going up there to
fix that pipe without examining it2"
he gasped. "Why, I am going to
look at it when / get there" said
the new man. "Merciful Heaven

hold of the desk to support himself.
''Can it be possible that you can do
a job at one visit2 Don't you know
your trade better than that2 Have
You no pride in your businessp Why
you'd ruin the entire community in

burst info tears. AS soon as he grew

ASH INGREDIENTS
1ne ASH OF plants consists OF fixed acids, OK
ldes, and certain salts, and are present in every
cell OF the growing plant. One portion of these
ingredients Is soluble in water and occurs in
the sap. This portion consists mostly of salts
OF various kinds, such a common salt, and the
sulphates Of lime and magnesla. The nsoluble
portion forms the cell walls, the tissues and
exists in the solid form BY oxidation we may
separate ash into these two forms.

THE HEAT.

Is there anything can beat,
This 'ere hotness of the heat,
Prickly heat!
It's most unpleasant pickle
When we feel the dewdrops trickle
Down our forelleads-how they tickle
How we catch
At our handkerchiefs and scratch
Oh, the heat!
Oh our feet!
They are blistered, sore and jaded-
Our socks are moist and faded
Oh, the heat!
And the prickly heat, presuming,
Gu our levrred backs is blooming
Oh, the heat!
And az sun aud dust are looming,
How that prickly heat comes booming,
Like the measles. it is catching,
Aud it keeps us busy scratching
How it lrickles,
How it trickles-
All our cOnntcnance blooming
Oh, the heat!

A MOTHERS LovE.-Deep is the
foundation of mothers love. It's
purity is like that Of 'the sweet per
fume that breathes upon bank of
violets.'' The tear drop speaks its
tenderness. There is language in
mothers smile, but it betrays not
all her nature. / have sometimes
thought while gazing on her counte-
uance, its dignity slightly changed
by the sweet accents of her young
child as it repeated some endearing
word, that the sanctuary of moth
er's heart is fraught with untold vir-
tues. So fondly, so devotedly, she
listens to the child's words, it would
seem she catches from them a spirit
that strengthens the bonds Of her af-
fections. Did you ever wake, while
on bed of sickness, and find mo.
TIERS hands pressed closely upon

break from dream even when Attic

you have at least one friend; and
that friend is true one. At such a
time, you can read more fully mo
theirs feelings than her tongue can
express them. The anxiety with
which she gazes upon you, the ten
derness with which she sympathizes
with you, the willingness with which
she supplies your wants, all serve to
represent the secret workings of bel
heart. But mothers love in un.
ceasing. Who then can look coldly
upon mother? Who, after the I'M
speakable tenderness and care will
she has fostered him through infan

The hostler of the Wallis plan
tation Collyer by name, met with q
peculiar accident couple of weeks
ago. He went to the river to wash
his hands, and while STOPPING down
at the waters edge thus engaged, his
hand was seized by a large alligator
gar. So persistent was the hold Of
the fish that it required considerable
effort on Collyer's part to release his
hand, and when he did so that mem
Der was severely lacerated, the gar's
sharp teeth having penetrated and
torn the flesh to a very painful ex
tent. Collyer declares that he pulled
six feet of the fish from the water
before it would relinguish its hold
upon him, and there was still a con-
siderable portion of the monster re-
naming unrevealed; we opine, how
ever, that the excitement of the mo.
ment caused Mr.. Collyer's magma
tion to magnify the real proportions
of the belligerent donaldson.
