A BRAVE IRISH BOY.

the world to seek his fortune.
"Where will I sleep tonight I"
thought Pat Roach for that was his
name.
"Last night I slept on the ground,
and stiff l was this morning"
AT this moment his eyes fell up
on a large and imposing mansion
on u little eminenee to the right.
"Maybe they'll let me sleep in
the barn." he thought. "Anyhow,
I'll give them the chance.
He turned into the front gate and
walked up to the front door and
knocked, for there was no bell.
The door was opened by a color
ed woman.
"Well, child. what do you want =
she asked, not unkindly.
"Can you let me sleep in the
barn :" asked Pat.
"What does the boy want Chloe ?
asked a young lady who had just
entered the broad hall.
"He wants to sleep in the barn,
Miss Jennie"
The young lady came forward
and looked pleasantly at the boy.
"What is yoar name :" she ask

"Pat Roach, MISS"
"Where are you going Z"
"To seek my fortune, MISS"
"Haven't you a home?"

Chloe was we'll disposed to second
the intentions OF her young mis-

out the boy's story, which Pat was
quite ready to tell. In return sht

A Dead Woman's Heart.

In law Office on Jefferson Street, not
a mile away from Fifth, yesterday after
noon, the proprietor sat with volume
of legal lore on the subject of damages
open before him, and a slip of paper
containing number of references by
the side of the book. From time to time
he read paragraph or line, and then
lay back in his chair with a thoughtful
and rather puzzled look, as though he
was endeavOring to make certain facts
square with the statements which he had
made. In this situation a reporter of the
COatrie1-JOu17odl found him. Said he in
response to an inquiry: g | have had a
peculiar and unusual set of circumstances
submitted to me with view to having
suit for damages brought, and 1 am
at a great loss to determine whether an
action can be maintained at1aw. A few
days ago lady inthis city died suddenly
of heart disease. Two well-known physi-
clans made request of the family to
hold an autopsy, and as the friends of
the dead woman were not adverse to
having positive knowledge concerning
the cause of her death, the request was
complied with. They went to the house
and, excluding everybody from the
room, where the body lay, proceeded
with the dissection. The heart was re-
moved, an examination made of its con-
dition, as well as the surrounding tissues,
and when their explorations were con-
cluded they apparently made proper
and decent arrangement of the woman's
mortal remains, and left. Shortly after
their departure the discovery was made
that the heart had been stolen. The
scandalous action aroused the deep in
dignation of the lady's family, and they
at once came to me to see if the daring
doctor who had done it could be made
to compensate her representatives in
money for the outrage. am now look
ing up the question, but have as yet
come to no fixed conclusion. If a wom-
ans heart is stolen during life she has
no remedy but to pursue the depredator
and regain it, or establish partnership
with him for the joint enjoyment of the
treasure; but in case of dead woman
the subject is altogether different, and,
no principles having ever been estab-
lished that am aware of, it is time for
something to be done to settle the ques-
ton. '-7LoutsOilLe Courier-Journal.
