And have wondered if 'Lwere true,
Folded eyes see brighter colors
Than the open ever do
Can it be the little sleeper
Slumbering on the mothers knee
Really sees, what, from its smiling
We can fancy it must see?
Little lips, oh, open for me,
Tell me if indeed It's true,
"Folded eyes see brighter colors
Than the open ever do"
Happy maiden, idly dreaming,
Where the shadows come and <"
In among the apple blossoms,
Tell me truely If It's SO;
Is the picture fancy sketches
Brighter tn II all else to you?
"Folded eyes see brighter colors
Than the open ever do"
Folded eyes from which the sunlight
Faded, leaving us in shade;
In the light which fadeth never,
Is ii true, as poet said,
Still beholdinl in unfolding,
Glories that are ever new,
Folded eyes see brighter colors
Than the open ever do"

Rat Catching as a Recreation.

From the Savannah News.
The rat killers of Paris, who make a
business of killing the rodents to sell
their skins to the manufacturers of kid
gloves, to adorn the tapering fingers OF
ballroom bellies and swells, are said to be
fond Of the excitement which the pursuit
of these long tailed varmints affords. In
deed, there are but few of us who have
not gathered around spot where terrier
was worrying rat, and enjoyed the fun.
We imagine, however, that very few
would be willing TO go hunting around
i'll dark lane at night to kill rats with a
stick Yet there is an old gentleman,
perhaps he is a Frenchman, living in Bay
lane, who so hunts and kills the ANIMALS.
He has no dog, his companion and only
assistant being his daughter, comely
girl of thirteen years, who carries the
lig t, and his plan is TO chase the animal
into barrel, or into a secure corner, and
dispatch it. The efforts of the old man
are heartily appreciated by those who
! We ON Bay lane, and we hope he will
keep on until he has relieved the neigh
borhood of the destructive pests.

A singui lar Case of Trance.

The case of a girl lying in a trace at
the London Hospital is exciting the
greatest sensation among medical men.
Eminent medical authorities in Eup-
land have been called in to decid. upon
the cause of the strange phenome non.
The patient lies still and motionless
upon the bed. Her eyes are closed,
but when the lids are raised beneath
the DOCTORS fingers the gazs is bright
and intelligent, as though the mind
were perfectly conscious of all that is
passing around her, while the pulse
beats strong and regular a. that of q
person in full health. The girl has
been lying in that state of trance for
more thar three weeks without food.
The account of her Seizure is singular
enough. She had already been a pa
tient for few days at the hospital
when the nurse called in the middle of
the night to her bedside by the most
terrible shrieks and meanings. The
girl was found writhing in agony, ex-
claiming that death was coming on,
and that she had but a few moments
to live. Before the nurse could sum-
mon the doctor the patient stretched
herself out stiff and senselAss, and Las
never recovered motion or consciousness
Since that moment.

A Temperance Reunion.

The M. S. r. Association will hold O
grand re union on Friday, the Fourth
OF July, in Riddles woods, on the
Brandywine. Addresses will be made
by pronInentsp-akers, and the Declara.
tion of Independence will be read.
There will be amusements innocent
and healthful. No danciHg will be per
mitted, nor will there be toxicating
liquors sold on the grounds. There
will be strong committee appoint. d,
and any disposition towards i'll conduct
on the part of intruders will be prompt
ly attended to. No person under the
influence of Intoxicating liquors will
be admitted to the grounds. 1t is the
intention of the Association to continue
the Fourth of July celebration which
began with them under such favorable
auspices soma two years ago. Upon
that occasion the largest picnic ever
given in this city was held, there being
in attendance some fifteen hundred per-
sons. Riddles grove, where the Asso-
citation will picnic, is peculiarly adap.
ted for such a purpose, and this, to-
gether with the additional inducement
Of escaping the heat and noise of the
city, will no doubt have the effect of
bringing out large attendance.

this latter fact upon the public mind,

Romantic Promenading.

Promenading on that portion of the
city known as the "Forty Acres" is
fast becoming famous for this enjoy
ment. Last evening especially it
seemed as if Cupid had banished all
fear from the heart of the young men.
1t looked very romantic, to see them
arrayed like Knights of the garter in
thsir king, (cupidD grand army. No
doubt one of the young men felt proud
of having Rose in his arm instead of a
rose in his coat. And it Is more
(Moore) than reasonable that it was
sufficient to Pierce the hearts of the
two young men.

a Spwnky Deputy.

Some time ago an agent Of tho Singer
Sewing Machine Company Of Whining
ton leased machine, which was after
wards sold under Sheriffs levy as part
of the L-ssee's property. Martin Kelle-
her in New Garden Township, Chester
County, was the purchaser, and the
Company not wishing to lose their ma
chine directed Mr.. William II. Poole
their Kennett Square agent, either to
get the machine or the money. A writ
Of repl-vin was placed in the hands Of
Deputy Sheriff Baker Of West Chester,
who on Thursday last with Mr.. Poole,
went after the machine hut found Mr..
Kelleher busy using it. Mr.. X. was at
work and Mrs. X. when she found the
object OF the visit said it should never
leave the house. Kelleher was sent al,
ter, but although he said the machine
was not his, when he reached the house
hs ordered the Sheriff to leave. That
officer tried to explain, but no explana-
tion explained, and seizing club lie
struck at Mr.. Bakers head but MIR.
Poole caught the arm Of the infuriated
man, when Mr.. Baker caught and threw
him. The wife coming to the help of
her husband pounded the deputy on
the head, but while this was going on
Mr.. Poole. gathered up the machine and
made for the door. The woman's blows
compelled the deputy to raise one arm
to protect his head which allowed the
man to 60 free and then the woman
hurried back to attack Mr.. Poole.
Again Mr.. Baker had to throw him, and
again the wife came to the rescue of
her husband. Four or five children in
the house to help matters along set up
an unearthly yelling and Mr.. Poole be-
ing for the time at liberty got the ma
chine in ths wagon. Kelleher was then
again released when he started for a
wood-pile threatening the deputy. That
officer however, only had to expostulate
further with Kelleher who found that
he was outwhipped and outwitted.-
Mr.. Baker is considered one Of the stout
est men in Chester County and was a
soldier in the famous "Buck tail regi
ment. He says he was never party
to such a lively fight and he now pro
poses to vindicate the majesty
Of the law before the Courts of Chester
County.
