that very same book thousands Of times
That book, "and hepatted the open pages
lovingly, 'that book is old, the leaves

this house. 1t has been in service 40
every wedding and birth and funeral in

THE DARK HOUR PASSED.

Koscuisko Star.
The year 1882 will long be remember
ed by the laboring classes as year OF
high prices for food articles and of
consequent difficulty in getting along.
With meal bs high MS 80 barrel, on
time; meat % cents and fiour $40, the
wonder is that the poor have been able to
stint themselves sufficiently to bring
their expenses within the limits Of their
income; yet most Of them in this South
ern country have done this and leading
merchants aver tLat Notwithstanding
the nigh prices; the indebtness Of the
country is no greater than usual. This
fact is eloquent Of the self-denial that
has been practiced by the people.
But it is a satisfaction to know that
The darkest hour Of the year is passed,
and that with the coming in of the new
crop prices are beginning to fall SO that
we will soon have cheap food. On the
Both Of June, No. red winter wheat
was selling at 81 so per bushel, in the
Western markets; on the 9Th of July il
had fallen to 81 33; on the 22nd it dip
ped to 81 10 and few days ago it was
as low as 81 IL. On the 30th of June,
Irish potatoes were So 30 per barrel, in
New York, and now they can be bought
for less than S2 in that market. The
price OF meal and corn is stiff yet because
cf the prevailing scarcity, and beacuse
the new crop Ct corn has not yet come
into market, but this will not last long
AMI soon corn bread will be as relatively
chear as -four bread.
If eur farmers fail to leain lesson
from this going up aud down in food
articles-np when scarce and down
when plentiful--if they fail tc see that
they are pampered by the business
world when fat and gibbeted when lean,
they are duller than we think they are.
If they do not see that advantage is
always taken Of their necessities and
that when they need help most they are
kicked most, II would take surgical
operation TO let in the idea. And if,
seeing this, they do not in future pro
vide for abundant food crops, so as to
defy extortion. then there is no hope fol
Ithesouth.

A CURIOUS DOUBLE BIRTH.

New York Mail and Express.l
On Sunday evening Mrs. Margaret
Smith, Of Crosswicks, little village
near BordentowD, N. T., gave birth to
two children who, had they lived, would
have more than rivalled the famed
Siamese TWINS. The children lived but
a few minutes. They are females, and
are formed together from the shoulders
to the hips by hard and almost solid
band which covers nearly the entire
breadth Of the bodies. The legs, arms
and head Of each body are perfectly
formed, and when the joining band is
concealed the pair look like two very
pretty dead infants. DR.. Dyer, Of Cross
wicks, who attended the mother, has
preserved the bodies, and his house has
been visited by large number Of physi-
clans from all parts Of the State.

A DYING WIFE TO HER HUS-
BAND.

Come near me, let me lay my hand
Once more upon thy brow,
And let me whisper in thine ear
Loves last and fondest vow.
The lips that breathe these trembling words
viii soon lie cold in death,
And thy dear cheek can feel no more
Their warm and loving bieath.
/ go from thee-Go only knows
How have longed to stay;
How have shuddered thus to tread
The long and shadowy way.
Faith tells me that soon must know
The love the blessed find,
And yet falter, while l cast
A lingering look behind
see thee bowed before me here
In bitterness and tears,
But can leave thea something still
To light thy weary years;
Young tender fprlns will cling to thee,
PERHAPS viii miss my tone,
And though they may not share thy grief,
Thou wilt not feel alone.
Fold them stillcloser to thy breast,
And soothe their childish woe,
And cheer the many lonely hours
The motherless must know.
The world. with all its hopes and joys,
Will sometimes make thee glad,
But they must linger round the hearth
Still des0late and sad.
And oh, when time shall calm thy grief,
Perhaps the hour may come
When thou wilt win another form
To share thy heart and home
When thou wilt welcome to thy board
a younger fairer face,
And bid thy children smile on her
Who takes their mothers place.
But think not-could speak to thee
That would frOwn or blame,
| Though they would love the stranger ono
And call her by my name;
For they will speak TO thee of me,
| My mem'ry is their trust,
| A word, smile, look like mine
| Will call me from the Dust
Yet make my grave no place of tears,
But let the dear ones bring
| To cheer their mothers resting place,
The blossoms of the spring;
| And there thou, too, nayst kneel,
And softly press the earth
| That cOycrs her, whose face once gave
! A brightness to thy hearth.
| Then will the form Of early years
Steal softly to thy side,
4 And for an hour thou eanst forget
| Thou hast another bride
She may be all thy heart can ask
SO dear, SO true to thee;
But oh the spriagtime Of thy loYei
Its freshness was Tor me.
