of the sensation, for the principal character
is woman, Tenny Dysart, the wife of
John Dysart, an intelligent and industrious
colored man, who lives in east Atchison, and
for an occupation drives A. B. Symns' deliy-
cry wagon. About Christmas time Mrs.
Dysart was taken down with dropsy, and
the disease has confined her to her house
ever since. She was about 40 years old,
and before her present sickness was strong
and healthy woman. Medical aid had
treated her with all that human skill could
command, but it was apparently Of no avail,
and Tuesday night about II o'clock she
died-that is, TO all appearances. We'd

the body, condolcd with the husband and

lid of the coffin was thrown back to take the
farewell look at the body one lady laid her

pronounced that life still remained The
body was taken from the coffin, remedies
and restoratives applied, and to day at

MARINA.

Where the sea winds mutter
And the sea waves utter
Sounding dirges on the cchoing shore;
Where the vocal leat1et
Sighs from the rcetiet
There Marina slumbers cyermOre.
There the sea witch moaning
Times the sea elf groaning,
And weird Echo pours her solemn roar,
Through the sea cave broken,
Sprent with many token,
Many spoil from oceans wizard store.
There, where dimly breaking,
From the sea verge waking,
Samoa's peak the aZur waste surveys;
There in sea-weed braided,
Deep in coral shaded,
Hidden sleeps Marina from my gaze.
Far from pity weeping,
Love his Vigal keeping,
In the sea urn mouldering in her bloom
Sleeps the dark.eyed maiden,
Sleeps while sorrow laden,
Sad remembrance walls above her tomb.
%, But though ruthless surges
Chant her only dirgcs,
And no signal points her place Of doom;
Though no mourner waiting,
But the white gull sailing,
Aourns her luster quenched III enoless gloon
Still, when evening glimmers
And the crisp wave shimmers,
And thy brow, Samoa, purple dyes,
Pensiye thought shall render
Votive offerings tender
Breathing DER her fate responsive sighs.
And the crested billow,
Beating round her pillow,
Elm winged the spirit shades explore;
And the great awaking,
Through the death locks breaking
OF, unto my sight her beauteous shape re

. Life in Brazil.

A lady sketches her life in Brazil in
Lippincott's. She says the principle dish
at dinner in Pernambuco is fresh beef
and neutrality-suspicious. which come
from Portugal, gumbo, cabbage and two
or three bananas, all boiled together. It
is very nice, and the blacks can make it
and cup Of coffee to perfection. Every
thing fruit, vegetables, fuel and cotton
is brought into town on poor, miserable
horses, who live chiefly on mollasses and
water, preferring it to more solid food.
The owner drives his horse into the yard
early in the morning-for marketing is
over by nine o'clock you twice as
much as you can make him take, and
finishing the bargain, grabs his beast by
the tail, puts his foot upon the animals
hind knee, mounts him and rides. off.
The baker brings at five O'Clock in the
morning bag filled with delicious bread,
made of Triste and American flour mixed.
Milk is sold in quart bottles for sixteen
cents each. The cook goes for the choicer
articles needed during the day; "the
boy" which means negro servant of
any age, betakes himself to the grocery
for the fuel for the day. A breakfast is
eaten at $50, beginning with little
fruit.
The kitchen has door possibly win
dow, but no chimney if the door is too
small to let out the smoke, hole is made
in the roof. There is brick oven in one
corner, table, a chair, a few saucepans,
bowls, plates, knives, and forks no strain
er, gridiron or modern utensil. The brick
oven is built solidly upon the tile floor,
and is used for washing and baking. A
horizontal iron plate is fastened to the
back Of it, with five holes of different siz-
es for saucepans. 1t is very economical
arrangement, because the wood can be
used in accordance with the amount of
heat required. The long sticks are
kindled and pushed forward under the
plate as far as there is need of it, and
pushed in as fast as it is burned. When
charcoal is used, one place is kindled,
or as many more as are required. There
are no towels; the sun does the drying
the tile floors, the dishes and the natives
are washed, but left to dry. Scorpians
and centipedes abound, but they are not
worse than spakes or bees. A little am
monia or carbolic acid destroys all i'll
effects. And as the writer is anxious to
go back to this delightful place, it is evi-
dent that the fact Of her having been
obliged to kill seven centipeeds in one
house does not seem to have left an insur-
| mountable prejudice in her mind

Under the head Of the s:Garden Lore''
London Florist has the following:
Every child who has gordening tools
Should learn by heart these gardening rules !:
he who owns a gardening spade
Should be able to dig the depth Of its blade.
He who owns gardening rake
Should know what to leave and what to take
He who owns a gardening hoe
Must be sure how he means his strokes to 60
But he who owns a gardening fork
May make it do all the other tools work.
There is another side to the subject
which the Prairie Farmer presents as be.
ing fully as important:
He who owns or borrows tools
Should always heed these honest rules:
Polished tools keep bright and clear,
Day by day and year by year.
After using put them by,
Safely stored and always dry.
When you borrow, safe return,
'IiS a lesson all should learn
When you lend be sure to say,
Keep them bright and safe pray

A Useful Dog.

A well-dressed young woman entered a
restaurant not far from the terminus OF
the New Orleans railway, and told the
waiter to bring her in all haste a basin of
soup, as she was about to take her depar-
tuge by the next train. This was inn
mediately done, and after having taken it
and paying the waiter she was hurrying
away, saying that she should certainly be
late, when she perceived her passage
barred by large dog, which refused to
let her pass. She attempted by caresses
to put it aside, but the animal held firm
and opposed her way.
II shall certainly be late!' she cried.
s'Do take away that horrible dog"
The waiter and the master cried out,
"Vidocq, Vidocq, give way, sir!''
But the dog never stirred. One Of the
walters here whispered something to the
master, who, coming up to the young
woman said:
"If my dog prevents you from leaving
the premises the reason must be that you
have some Of the property belonging to
the house about you. You had better
give it up at once and go your way
The person thus addressed at first af-
fected great Indignation at being so ac-
cused, but at last drew out a silver spoon
which she handed to the owner of the
restaurant. The dog then allowed her to
pass, and she was hurrying off when she
was seized by her mantelet and forced tc
stop. This time it was a police agent
who had been on the lookout for several
persons suspected of being concerned il
a robbery, and who was thought nigh,
attempt to get off by the railway. Sht
was arrested, and on examination hel
| mantelet was found to be furnished will

goods. lis said that this is not the frs
time that the dog belonging to the res
tauranteur has shown himself faithful
guardian of his masters property.

Culran and the Judge.

The following has been told of Curran:
An IRISH judge frequently annoyed counsel
by interrupting their statements to the
jury. Mr.. Curran, being one day plead
ing before him, described, in very forcible
terms, how his feelings had short time
before been narrowed by what he had
seen in a neighboring markent when a
butcher was engaged in killing pig.
He said that the string by which the pig
was tied broke, and he then described
the manner in which the man with the
murderous weapon in his hand rushed to a
door out of which little boy was COM
ing.
"And he killed the boy?' said the
judge.
''No, my lord,' replied Mr.. Curran
''your lordship sometimes jumps at con-
clusions. It was not the boy, but the pig y

Where is the Stupidity?

Vivid pictures are often drawn Of the
stupidity of children, and especially Of
the ignorance which they display of the
meanings Of common English words.
But such pictures are more vivid than
true. A child may understand the mean
ing Of word perfectly without being
able to find synonym for it. To give a
definition Of the commonest word off
hand, is not always easy. An inspector
expressed his surprise that no child could
tell him the meaning of the word "boat, y
and, upon being asked himself to define
it, said:
:'Why, boat is "a boat, you know
Everybody knows what boat is.
The story is too good, perhaps, to be
true; but it points a moral neverthe-
less.
