4 Touching Story.

One rarely meets a bit of more touch
ing romance than is contained IN the
following story that comes from Wales:
Years ago, some Welsh miners, in
exploring a pit that had long been
closed, found the body of n young man
dressed in a fashion long out of date.
The peculiar action Of the air Of the
mine had been such rs to preserve the
body so perfectly that it appeared
asleep rather than dead. The miners
were puzzled at their remembrance,
and at last it was resolved to bring the
Oldest inhabitant-an old lady long past
her eightieth year; who had lived sin
gle in the village the whole of her lie.
On being brought into the presence OF
the BODY, a strange scene occurred
the old lady fell on the corpse, kissed
it, and addressed it by every term Of
loving endearment, couched in the Ian
guage of hygone generation. he
was her only love; she waited for him
during her whole life; she knew that
he had not forsakcn her. The old wo-
man and the young man had been be-
trothed sixty years before. The lover
had disappeared mysteriously, and
she had kept faithful during that long
interval. Time had stood still with the
dead man, but had left its marx on the
living woman. The miners who were
present were a rough set, but very
gently and with fearful eyes they re,
moved the old lady to her house, and
the same night her spirit reioincd that
other long lost lover.

How Harvard College Los! 500, 900.

Boston Correspondence of the Hartford Times
\ few dayS since, came across n
,descl ,ption of some of the pecuiaritics
'of Thomas Dowsc, whose library is
now in the Massachusetts, Historical
rooms. He lived and died in Cam
bridge, and was n leather-dresser. Il
bachelor, and peculiar besides. He
used to pull wool in a rutlled shirt, buy
books and speculate upon philosoph-
ical truths and great problems of ex-
lstence. At % he was going to marry,
but learning that the young lady was
engaged to his partner he invited her
to ride to Boston, whore he left her in
the streets to look for herself. She
never married, and finally died in the
poor-house, His library contained
5000 volumes, nearly all valuable
English works printed in London, and
bound uniformly in calf. He had n
golden lamb i'll front of his house rs a
sign. Harvard students broke off It's
head, and this maddencd him somuch
that he changed his will and left his
property, 100000, TO individuals and
public institutions, instead of to Har-
ward College, as had been his intention.
His library he gave to the Massachu-
sets Historical Society on condition
that it should be kept forever in one
room, He was II great admirer of
Franklin, and erected a monument to
his memory in Mount Auburn. Har-
ward College gave him the degree of
Doctor of Laws, which Edward Ever
EFT in his eulogy translated into " Lit
erary Leather-Drcsser."

The Difference.

A good story is tolc of a wellknowI
divine, now dead One day he picked
out n cheap hat in a store, and the
clerk when he narled the price
said:
But that isn't good enough for you
to wear doctor. Here is what you
want, and I'll make you present of it
if you'll wear it, and tell your friends
whose store it came from"
Thank YOU" said the doctor, his
eyes cleaning with pleasure at raising
a castor so cheap. "How much may
this beaver be WORTH
I'VE sell this kind of a hat for eigh,
dollars"
"And the other
Three"
The man of sermons put on the
beaver, looked into the glass, then at
the three dollar hat,
II think sir, said he, taking of the
beaver, and holding it in one hand, as
he donned the cheap tile II think sir
that this hat will answer my purpose
full as well as the best"
But you had better take the best
one, sir, it costs you no more. .
'B-u-t-b-u-t," replied the parsop,
hesitatingly. II don't know-but-per-
haps-you would as lief | would take
the cheap one, and leave the other
and perhaps you would not mind giving
me the difference IN a five-dollar bill.

The motive which too often leads TO prosecutions
under our liquor law wen illustrated this term.
II seems that Jesse c. Jones Of Sratton was not fool
iur very friendly towards one willard Shepard and.
for the purpose Of punishing said Shepard concluded
he would summon some witnesses before the grand
inquest Of the county, and cause said Shepard to be
indicted. He accordingly procured several witnesses,
and started for Newfane in great glee. At wardsboro
Jones rested long enough to procure jug Of LIQUOR
for himself and Witnesses Of which he and his friends
partook literally. In the meantime Shepard became
suspicious Of Jones, and partially learned what his
intentions were, and that he was furnishing his wit.
contrary TO law So Shepard also appeared be-
fore the grand jury and preferred complaint apn
jones' whercupon the grand jury promptly passed on
Indictment against both. Jones may possibly think
the accounts are not squared between him and shep-
ard.

Ex-senator Christiancy was challenged last
Friday, in Washington, by DIR. Lugenheel,

1t seems that Ex-senator CoAkling is dc.
termined to spare no effort for success in the
new political career which has opened before
him and which begins at the very bottom OF
the ladder. II is reported that during the
primary election in his own ward in Utica on
Thursday ''he stood in front Of the polling
