A negro woman named Julia Dill

she heard a noise at one side of the

toward the bed in a %stocNing posture,
having in his hand a ha lkerchief,
which, as she afterwaid lear led, was
saturated with chlorofo IN, There
was nobody in the room except two
other women, and she could do no h.
ing but shrek, which she did with a
vengeance, arousing the entire neigh
borhood and soaring away the man.
AS a light was burning in the room
she recognized him as Alf Jones,
carriage driver for II. Dow, on Ala
bama street. Jones was accordingly
arrested and lodged in the station
house, a charge of malicious trespass
being entered against him. He was

Courage In Disease.
London Lancet,

Many life has been saved by the moral courage of a sufferer. It IS not alone in bearing the pain of operations or the misery of confinement in sick room this self help becomes Of vital moment, but in the monotonous tracking of weary path, and the vigorous dis. charge of ordinary duty. How many victim of incurable disease has lived on through years of suffering, patiently and resolutely hoping against hope, or, what is better, living down despair, until the virulence of threatening malady has died out, and it has ceased to be destruc- tive, although it's physical characteristics remained? This power of good spirits" is q matter of high moment to the sick and weakly. To the former it may mean the ability to survive, to the latter the possibility of sutliving, or living in spite of, disease. It is, therefore, of the greatest importance to cultivate the high est and most buoyant rame of mind the conditions will admit. The same energy which takes the form of mental activity is vital to the work of the organ ism. Mental influences affect the sys- tem, and joyous spirit not only relieves pain, but increases the momentum of life in the body. The victims of disease do not commonly sufficiently appreciate the value and use of good spirits" They
 too often settle down in despair when professional judgment determines the existence of some latent or chronic mal- ady. The fact that it is probable they will die of particular disease casts so deep a gloom over their prospect that through fear of death they are all their lifetime subject to bondage. The multi tude of healthy persons who wear out their strength by exhausting journeys and perpetual anxieties for health is very great, and the policy in which they indulge is exceedingly short-sighted. Most of the sorrowful and worried crip- ples who drag out miserable lives in this way would be less wretched, and live longer if they were hopeful. It is use less to expect that any one can be req soned into lighter frame of mind, but it is desirable that all should be taught to understand the sustaining, and often even curative, power of good spirits"

mical annals. The comet of I843 was one of the most wonderful ever seen. Assuming that Prof. Pierce's computa- tion of this comets previous returns is correct, it has had an astonishing his tory. In 1106 it blazed with a bright ness that was compared to that of the sun itself; in l402 it was so brilliant as to be visible at monday; in 1454 it is said to have eclipsed the moon; in 1889 it spread terror among the ignorant throughout the whole world, and Tn 1843 it gave aid and comfort to the Millerites, and helped to alarm those who listened to their predictions of speedy burning up of the world. If it should return this year with its accustomed style, it will confirm the faith of those who read in the hidden chambers of the great pyramid momentous prophecies for 1881. All the visits of this comet, however, have not been equally brilliant.
