Pytchley.
Because, as you know very well,
Hobart's business is in the city, and
we could do nothing at all with a lot
of swampy land, down here in the
backwoods." Ht t. ~
So Mrs. Pytchley had taken the
lions share OF the old mans bequest,
and gone back to her city home,
over Hobart's grocery store; and
Young Doctor Dedling, who had con-
fidently calculated on at least five
hundred dollars, to buy surgical in
struments and fit up an Office in the
village adjoining-fve hundred dol
lars as the dowry of his bride, elect
broke his engagement in fit of
pique that Judith should have so de-
lberately flung her fortune away.

disgust.
"Stop, Doctor Dedling !" said
Judith, coloring up. "You forget
that you are speaking of my sister
and her husband"
"But they have no business to i'm

II agreed to the plan, without

Doctor Dedling shrugged his

An Ingenious Mechanism.

, William Grollmitz. German citizen
at Buffalo, constructed novel piece
OF mechanism, which is thus de-
scribed: 1T consists of sort of clock
work, put in motion by 2OO-pound
weights, which places in action, in an
interesting and amusing manner, vari-
GUS objects on platform eleven feet
in length and five feet in width. The
platform is covered with green moss,
and, along meandering course, various
automatic figures of men, women and
animals are moving to and fro,
turning about or dancing. In the back
ground, situated on q mountain, is q
windmill, and, at the foot of the mounts
ain. is q watermil. The wheels of both
mills are put in operation by water
flowing from a pond in the meadow,
and in which ducks and geese are
swimming. In the center of the pond
q water-spout shoots it's streamlets high
in the air. At the extreme right end
OF the platform is church, and in it q
fine orchestral instrument which dis
courses several of the most pleasing
church and national airs. Over it is q
fac-simile representation of the great
Strasbourg clock. The twelve apostles
appear and move in q circle around their
Master, each one bowling as he passes.
When Peter approaches, a soldier stand
ing on one side of the steeple appears,
and cock on the opposite side flaps
his wings and crows. Satan also ap-
pears at an upper door, and eyes Judas
until he is out of sight. On the left of
the church is stable, and lying in the
manager is the child Jesus, and, kneeling
around him, Joseph and Mary and the
shepherds. The Wise Men of the East
are approaching the table, carrying
gold, frankincense and myrrh. This
does not by any means exhaust the
various objects of interest,""

Do the Dying Suffer PainY

PEOPLE do not Like to think of death.
It is an unpleasant subject; but it con-
stantly obtrudes itself, and there has
been much speculation as to whether
mental or physical pain attends the final
act. Observation teaches us that there
is little pain of either kind in dying.
Experience will come to us all one of
these days, but it will come too late to
benefit those who ROMAN. It seems to
be kind provision of nature that, as
we approach the dread event, our ter
rors diminish, and the coward and the
hero die fearless, Indifferent, or
resigned. As to physical pain, DR.. Ed
ward 81. Clark says:
"The rule is that Inconsistencies,
not pain, attends the final act. To the
subject of it, death is no more painful
than birth. Painlessly we come whence
we know not. Painlessly we go; whittier
we know not. Nature kindly provides
in anmsthetic for the body when the
spirit leaves it. Previous to that mo-
ment and in preparation for it, respira-
ton becomes feeble, generally slow and
short, often accomplished by long in
SEPARATIONS and by short, sudden expira-
tions, so that the blood is steadily less
and less oxygenated. At the same time
the heart acts with corresponding de-
bility, producing a slow, feeble, and
often irregular pulse. As this process
goes on, the blood is not only driven to
the head with diminished force and in
less quantity, but what flows there is
loaded more and more with carbonic
acid gas, powerful anBsthetic, the
same as that derived from charcoal.
Subject to its influence, the nerve CEN
tiers lose consciousness and sensibility,
apparent sleep creeps over the system
then comes stupor, and then the end .

loud, he said:

The passengers smiled, but I never

him fercely. But he was not to be put

''How ould are yees?' he fairly yelled
right in my ear.
If it had happened in New YORK

His under jaw dropped, he sank

What Workingmen May Hope for from
Electricity.

ElecCrlcltys
Prof. W. E. Ayrton closed q lecture
to 1000 of the workingmen of Sheffield,
England, on the subject of electricity
as q motive power, with this picture:
I'VE are, it is true, commercial peo-
pie, but do we not still love our hills
and our fields? There was time when
the cutler of now black, grimy Sheffield
was very feet of foot in following the
chase. There was time when mot
only in the village around old Shelf
field so says the history of Hallam-
shire, were the fle-makers' shops or the
smithy to be seen, with the apprentices
at work; but even on the hillside in the
open country at the end of the barn
would be the cutters shed, while in the
valley below, by the river, was the
grinding wheel ready to sharpen the
tools that had been manufactured And
why not now? Why should not the
mountain air that has given you, work
men of Hallamshire, in past times your
sinew, your independence of character,
blow over your grindstone now? Why
should not division of labor be carried
to this end, and power be brought to you
instead of you to power? Let us hope,
then, that in the next century electricity
may undo whatever harm steam may
have done during the last, and that the
future workman of Sheffield will, in
stead of breathing the necessarily i'm
pure air of crowded factories, find him
self again on the hillside, but with
electric energy laid on at his command

Lost His Shawl.

A gentleman returning from Europe
bought a very handsome and expensive
shawl for his wife. It cost between
$4,000 and $4,000, and he was naturally
DESTROYS OF avoiding the disagreeable
necessity of paying several hundred dol
lars more in the shape Of custom duty.
On board the vessel was an exceedingly
attractive lady, to whom when they were
in sight of land he confded his dilemma.
why, my dear, SIR she said, naively,
that is no dilemma at all. I will wear
the shawl ashore, and then no question
will be asked The gentleman paid a
glowing tribute to the wonderful fertility
OF the feminine mind and accepted the
offer. The shawl graced the lady's
shoulders, and was certainly very be-
coming. The trunks were examined and
passed with that mysterious chalk mark,
without which no baggage can receive
the benediction of Uncle Sam, and then
the gentleman saluted the lady, spoke Of
the pleasure he had enjoyed in her COM
pany, hoped they would have the pleas
ure of crossing the ocean together again,
and then asked for the shawl. i beg
your pardon, she said, sbut what shawl do
you refer tos' He naturally answered,
Why. the one you have on, to be sure.'
And why should give you my shawl2'
she inquired. In word, the dialogue
waxed SO warm that she threatened to
call policeman unless he desisted, and
since he could not legally claim the
shawl without convicting himself OF a
deliberate attempt to swindle the gov
eminent, he was compelled to leave with
the fair stranger the present which be
had intended for his wife.

FINDING FAULT.
king Of persons faults

In speaking of PERSONS faults
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw stone,
If we have nothing else. to do
Than talk of those that sin,
IT'S better to commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge man
Until he's fairly tried,
Should we not like his company
We know the world is wide;
Some have faults-and who has not
The old as well as the Young?
Perhaps We may, for all we know
Have fifty to their one.
J'll tell you of better plan
And find it works full well,
To find your own defects to cure,
Ere others faults you tell,
And though sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know.
My own shortcomings old me let
The faults of others 20.
Now let us all, when we begin
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know. ...
Remember, curses, chicken-like
Sometimes to roost come home.
Don't speak of others faults until
You have none of your own.

What Tobacco Is Made OF.

We have heard the tobacco-user claim
that the weed was food and drink to
him, but never thoroughly believed
him until British Parliamentary re-
port on adulteration set forth the fol-
lowing schedule: "Sugar, alum, lime,
flour or meal, rhubarb leaves, saltpeter,
fuller's earth, starch, malt commings,
chromate of lead, peat, moss. molasses,
burdock leaves, common salt, endive
leaves, lampblack, gum, red dye, black
dye composed of vegetable red and lie
orice, scraps of newspaper. cinnamon
stick, cabbage leaves and straw brown
paper" This is convincing. Not only
is it food and drink, but it is also house
and land, paint-shop and literature,
with drugs, condiments and chemicals
thrown in ad ibitum. Verify, tobacco
is potent, but little difusive. Boston
