tcrlacing foliage overshadowing
limpid front steam,
A young man was kneeling beside

He STATED to his feet as the crackl-

Laid Out Before Dead.

Mrs. Herdt, wife of an Allegheny brew
er, had been paralyzed for some time.
Last Thursday she grew worse, and during
the afternoon died, as was believed by all.
There was no apparent sign of life about
the. body, and it seemed that she had en-
tirely ceased to breathe. Later in the
evening, when preparations were being
made to lay the body out, it was thought
some signs of life were noticed. A careful
medical examination was made, and it was
found that life had not been extinct at all.
The sigus of mourning about the house
were quickly removed, and every effort
made to strengthen the fluttering flame of
life, but death would not be cheated thus,
and about four o'clock Friday morning the
physicians made very careful examination
and ascertained beyond doubt that she
was dead. The event created considerable
excitement in the neighborhood.

A Romance Of the PestiIence.

Last year when the epidemic was raging
in Memphis, among the Cincinnati physi-
clans who rendered their services and lives
to Health Officer Minor was young DR..
Collins, of this city, an unusually bright
and intellectual man. who was making n
precarious living at his practice, not
through lack of ability, for of that he had
abundance, but from the lack of patients.
His services, together with five others,
were accepted and on certain evening
they all went to the Ohio and Mississippi
railroad depot to take the $50 train for the
South Young Collins in taking leave OF
the health officer, who had gone down to
see the little band off, said "Doctor, L
will either make reputation in Memphis
or never come home again" He arrived
in the city, and reported to the Howard
association for duty, was given an assign
ment in part of the town where the
disease was carrying people off by the
scores.
Among others that he attended was the
family of wealthy planter. He was sue
,cessfu in bringing the children through
the sickness, one of whom was beautiful
and intelligent young lady.
Within q short time the doctor himself,
worn down by unceasing labor, was smitten
with the scourge, and lay tossing fevershly
in his small room. The young lady, hear
ing of the circumstance, went to the house
and nursed him tenderly through his ILL
ness.
1t is almost needless to say that by this
time the youthful pair became mutually
attached, proposal and acceptance fol.
lowed, to which consent was unhestatingly
given by the parents. They were after
ward married, the father investing his new
son-in-law with handsome interest in his
large plantation. DIR. Collins is now one
of the rising young physicians of Memphis,
and is the efficient secretary of its board
of health.- Cincinnati Commercial.

A Cool Woman.

the following incident of railroad travel
is related by the Syracuse n. Y, Courier
GA rare instance of nerve and GOODNESS
under trying circumstances recently came
to our knowledge. A few weeks ago two
sisters were journeying over the Central
railroad, en- route homeward to Albany
from Colorado. They belonged to wealthy
Albany family, and one Of them, for whose
health the journey to Colorado had been
undertaken, was dying of consumption,
anxious only to die at home. The two
sisters occupied compartment in draw
ingroom car. Just before reaching Syra-
cuse the consumptive's life went out, and
the surviving sister who was attending her
was left alone in the compartment with
her sisters corpse. She was aware of a
rule of the railroad company that, in case
of death on the cars, the corpse must be
removed from the cars at the first station
thereafter. To avoid the delay that this
would entail, she resolved to conceal all
knowledge of her sisters death until they
should reach Albany. To the frequent
inquiries made at the door of her compart-
ment of sympathizing fellow travellers as
to her sisters condition, she gave evasive
replies, as also she did to the train officials
She telegraphed at the first opportunity to
her brother to meet her at Schenectady,
not, however, mentioning that her sister
was dead. He met her there with her
sisters corpse. AT Albany they called a
hack and assistance to carry very sick
lady, closely veiled. They drove to their
residence and called an undertaken. That
lady certainly showed nerve equal to the
requirements of battlefield"

A Strange Meeting.

The Nashville American" says While
walking around the public square yester-
day, Mis-. johnson, who is visiting here,
her residence being in Pulaski, and Sam
Owens accidentally met and recognized
each other. They were married before the
war and had been separated. Owens sug-
gested, "Let's kiss" but Mr. Johnson,
who just then came along, demurred =
Oh, no, you don't kiss my wife"
Owens said to her 81 have long thought
you were dead, and have only recently re-
married"
And have long thought you were
dead" said Mrs. johnson, "and / now
have house full of children" There was
nothing more to be said after this, and the
parties went their respective ways.
