4 Touching Story,

One rarely meets a bit of more
touching romance than is found in
the following story, that comes from
Wales
Years ago some Welsh miners
in exploring an old pit that had
long been closed, found the body of
a young man dressed in fashion
long out of date. The peculiar ac-
ton of the air of the mine had been
such as to preserve the body as per-
fectly that it appeared asleep rather
than dead. The miners were puz-
zled at the circumstance no one in
the district had been missed within
their remembrance, and at last it
was resolved to bring the oldest in
habitant, an old lady long past her
eightieth year, who had lived single
in the village the whole of her life.
On being brought into the presence
of the body a strange scene occur
red the otd lady fell on the corpse,
kissed and addressed it by every
term of loving endearment, couched
in the language of a bygone genera
ton. He was her only love /; she
waited for him during her long life !;
she knew that he had not forsaken
her. The old woman and the young
man had been betrothed sixty years
before. The lover had disappeared
mysteriously, and she had kept faith
ful during that long interval. Time
had stood still with the dead man
but had left its mark with the liv-
ing woman. The miners who were
present were a rough set, but very
gentle and with fearful eyes they
the old lady to her house, and
the same night her faithful spirit re-
joined that of her long-lost lover. p

Died at the Age of 125 Years.

Mrs. Nancy Tins, of whom men
ton was made in these columns three
weeks ago, and who is perhaps the
oldest living being, is daily growing
more feeble, and it now seems quite
evident that she cannot survive
much longer. Many of our citizens
have called to see this venerable
woman since her arrival here a
month ago, and have listened with
eagerness to her recitals of the long
ago. For one and a quarter centu-
ries Mrs Tins has been living wit
ness to passing events. She was
present at the battle of Brandywine,
fought l04 years ago the 1lth of
last month, and assisted her mother
to mold bullets for the use of the
Americans in that contest. Her
sixth and only living child, a son,
is now ninety years old, and is a
resident of Texas. Her youngest
chile. also a son, was accidentlv kill
ed in Weakly county, in lS43, at the
age of twenty-five years. This won
derful lady, of such unusual longev-
ity, is of small stature, perhaps new
er weighing over 100 pound, and
until the past fifteen years, since
which time she has been helpless,
she exercised freely, doing what her
hands found to do. A prominent
gentleman of this country, himself
well advanced in years, states that
fifty years ago Mrs. Tins was a very
old woman.
Since the above was written Mrs.
Tins died. West Tennessee Vhig.

Does the young man who persists
in being a loafer, ever reflect how
much less it would cost to be a de-
cent respectable man? Does he
imagine that loaferism is more eco-
nomical than gentility? Anybody
can bea gentleman, if he chooses to
be, without much cost, but it is
mighty expensive being a loafer.
1t costs time, in the first place, days,
weeks and months of it i: in fact.
about all the time he has, for no
man can be first class loafer with
out devoting his whole time to it.
The occupation. well followed, hard
ly affords time for eating, sleeping,

on reflection, we will except that.
The foafer finds time to drink.
Whenever invited, at the cost of
friends. Once fully embarked on
the sea of loaferdom, and you bid
farewell to every friendly sail of sails
under an honest and legitimate flag.
Your consorts will only be the bucca-
neers of society. 1t costs money,
for though the loafer may not earn
a cent or have one for months, the
time lost might have procured him
much money, if devoted to industry
instead OF sloth. 1t costs health.

The Milwaukee SIN relates the fol-
1o,.,,r~

The Milwaukee .Sun relates the fol-
lowing.
The convention Of doctors from
all over the State, which had been
in session here this week, was COM
posed of the best practitioners and
ablest men of their profession to be
found anywhere. f,er- were no
charlatans, no fraud- or quacks
among them that we know Of, and
their meeting must have been one Of
profit TO themselves and of ultimate
value to the people under their care.
There was one laughable thing oc-
Cured at one of their meetings.
The yard masters OF the United
States were having convention
here at the same time, and rail-
roader got in little too much bug
juice by some unaccountable mis-
take, and on inquiring where the
convention was held, he was direct
ed to the hall occupied by the doc
tors. He went in pretty full, and
took a seat between two doctors
and fell asleep. As he awoke he
saw a lot of counterfeit pieces of hu-
man frame on the table, sort of
manakin taken apart. There were
liver and lungs and arms and legs,
bones and everything, and a doctor
was illustrating some operation he
had performed. The railroader
opened his eyes as big as headlights.
Turning to the doctor on the left he
punched his ribs and said:
"Been a nae (hic) cident ?"
The doctor saw the man was full,
and supposing he was some coun-
try doctor chloroformed by design
ing persons, and filed up against
his will, he said:
"Yes been terrible accident"
The intoxicated railroader asked
as he sat straight and tried to look
wise:
"Wuzzit a clish'n, or engine blow
ed up?"
The doctor said it was train
wrecked, and he took another seat,
while the railroader turned to
another doctor and said:
Il saw n switch (hic) 'gine run
over a tramp once and cutemallup.

About Shoe Heels.

1t is said that a man can ALWAYS
tell a sensible woman by the heel
of her shoe. There is the high heel
hooked in under the instep, which
indicates giddiness, bad taste and a
want of culture; then there is the
medium heel, which indicates de-
sire for fashion, and yet an objec-
ton to excess; then there is the
lady-like, small heel, slightly curv-
ed, not quite SO low as the heel of a
mans boot, but yet low enough, and
placed in the proper position for
comfort; that indicates good breed
ing, good sense and delicacy. Young
men shhould know this and judge
accordingly.
