Didn't Want His Name In.

Not long since we happened TO meet q
young man who had recently been adj
mitted to the bar who called our atten-
ton to the fact, with:
"Well, I've got my shingle out"
"Glad to hearit Wish you success, I"
we remarked, as we passed on. and dis
missed the subject from further consid-

young man dropped in on US.

A Strange Occurrence.

A strange story comes from Union
county, Arkansas, but it is as true as it
is strange. Three young mon were sit
ting on their horses in the road discuss
ing the probabilities of rain from cloud
which was just then rising in the west.
The youngest of the group, named John
Freeman, referred to the drouth, and re-
marked that God who would allow his
people to suffer thus couldn't amount to
much. AS he was speaking this the
boys were encircled with lightning, and
the speaker stunned severely, though
his companions were unscathed Recov-
ering, he renewed the subject rowling
the Supreme Power. Instantly bolt
of lightning issued out of the cloud
overhead and the young man fell dead
in his tracks Nearly every bone in
his body was mashed to a jelly, while
his boots were torn from his feet and
the clothing away from his lower cx-
tremities. The body presented horri-
BILE appearance, being blackened and
mangled mass of humanity. His COM
panions were dazed and thrown to the
ground, but not seriously injured.
The funeral of the unfortunate young
man occurred the next day, attracting
a large crowd, the larger portion of
whom were drawn thither by the rumor
Of the strange events preceding the de-
mise of the young man. When the
body was deposited in the grave and the
loose earth had been thrown in until the
aperture was filled, and the friends of
the dead man yet fingered in tho come-
terry, bolt of lightning descended from
cloud directly over the burial place
and struck the grave, throwing tho dirt
as if a pillow had passed lengthwise
through it. No one was injured, bat
those present scattered paralyzed with
terror. The incident excited great
deal of attention, ministers and people
generally holding that the young man
was the victim of the wrath of an Of
Tended God, while others assert that the
case was simply a wonderful coincidence,
having no connection with causes either
physical or supernatural.

IN THE TWILIGHT.

When the sunset CLEANS In the western sky,
And tlushes the restless sea,
To the sweet Lenore its messengers come,
And comfort her tenderly.
Oh, the tide comes in, and the tide goes out,
And it singeth its own song low;
But whether be glad the song, or sad,
Her thoughts must seward go.
The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
And the days are fastening by,
While she thinks of a ship that sailed away
Meath the glow of a crimson sky.
When the world was sweet with the breath
Of June,
Was 1t only year ago?
Dear heart, take courage when love returns,
The days they will not be slow.
Twill not be long she must sit alone,
While the twilight shadows lie
Like soft gray veil on the changing sea,
And float in the darkening sky.
For her ship will come in with the tide some
night
Like winged bird of peace;
And the day of her long and lonely watch
In the twilight hour shall cease.

There Is something peculiar about
somnambalism when considered from q
scientific and philosophical standpoint.
The sleep walker, il will be found, still
retains a dim idea, even while he is
asleep, of the condition OF affairs when
he went to sleep. For instance, if he
leaves bis clothes in a certain part of
the room on retiring, he knows when he
rises Just where to find them, even in
the dark. This is question which
opens mp wonderful field for physio-
logical and mental research.
When young and Riddy we became a
somnambuiist, and excited great deal
OF curiosity 10y our strange freaks dur
ing sleep, and this one question OF the
slumbering mind and its memory of
facts existing prior to sleep was the
most remarkable thing about it all to
M. We puzzled over that good deal.
At night we would retire TO rest and
the next thing we would know we would
wake up in the middle OF contiguous
melon patch and there would he two or
three other somnambulists there in the
same patch, and as much surprised rs we
were. Still there is the same truth star
ing us in the face. Every somnambu-
list there had through his sleep re-
tanned in his semi-conscious state per-
feet recollection of where every article
of his clothing was and how 10 get out
of the upstairs window without waking
the old people.
By-and-by the owner of the melon
patch procured, at great expense, a
large, humorous bulldog, who was also
q somnambulist He walked IN his
sleep good deal. That is why we
quit. We didn't propose to descend to
the level Of the brute creation. We
just said, If u bulldog wants to somnam,
he can do so and we will leave the field
to him.
We made this resolution one night
just after We had plugged watermelon.
While stopping over in the act, We felt
pang OF conscience and heard our sus-
penders break
Perhaps the casual reader has never
sat down on o buzz saw and felt himself
gradually fading away. If so he does
not know what it is to form the acquaint-
ance OF somnambulist bulldog in the
prime of life.
After that somnambulism didn't have
such run in our family for whiie.
We never slept SO souHd that we didn {
remember places and objects that had
made an impression on Us prior to slum-
Der, and that lis why We say that there
is something III this matter that scien-
fists would do well to look into
