A MAINE GIRL.


In the plantation of Oakfeld, Aroostook
county, Maine. there is girl who possesses
the faculty of spelling difficult words back
ward without hesitation. Her name is Hattie
NJ. Drew, just past her twelfth birthday and
residing with her parents in Oakfeld, " no are
people of moderate education. living upon a
farm in a rural community. While this little
girl is bright and smart as the average of her
mates she never attracted any particular at
tention until, a little more than year ago, il
was accidentlv discovered that she possessed
the singular gift of spelling any word with
which she as acquainted backward and with
out hesitation. At spelling match recently
held in the school which she attends, without
any warning. she stood before the audience for
some ten minutes. spelling words selected at
random, some for their difficulty of combina-
ton, but without any previous knowledge of
what they were to be, rapidly and correctly.
except one or two which she could not spell n
the proper way, and when prompted in the
correct spelling would Immediately reverse.
Among the words which she spelled were
these Galaxy. syzgy, astronomy, robin, pho
biography, difficulty, attendance, indivisible.
&C., and many other words of equal length
and difficulty. All of these were spelled as
rapidly as the eye could follow, without a
single displacement of letter. Has any
other person without any training been able
to do this or similar feats? In addition, it
may be said, upou the testimony of the girl.
that ''she can see the words in her mind and
knows no reason why she should not read
the letters backward as in the usual way"

Last Wednesday evening a Sewall street
man got his family together, locked up his
house and went off to the temperance meet
ing. He didn't know then that it would be a
difficult thing to unlock that door AGAR. but
fully realized it as he stood there near mid
night with the thermometer well down
towards zero, and fumed and worked to make
that key do its duty. Neighbors within n
radius of four blocks thought that town
meeting hal broken loose. Various and
varied were the 81 ,yestions off red by the
little crowd If sympsth re- who ha gather
ed. One proposed IL Ter. an ascent to tn
ROOT and descent through skylight to the

nor skylight the force of this suggestion wa.
lost to his mind. Finally. small boy con-
versant with the premises Offered to bet the
man that rear door had been left unlocked
but was promptly told to shut up: the idea
was absurd. However. the boy walked round
the corner of the house aud through base
ment door, without trouble, and the man Win
mad locked himself out, was rescued from an
unpleasant dilemma.

Mr.. +. X. Pierce, the jeweler, writes us in
relation to our item recently published in re
lation to mock jewelry. He says that the
formula given for cleaning jewelry which is
furnished, is one which has been in use
among jewellers for many years. But in the
proportions given in your paper, it should be
used with the utmost caution. Cyaniie OF
potassium is one of the deadliest of poisons
known. The proportions given in your arti-
Gle are twice as strong as that used by jewel
ers The hands should not be put into the
solution as given in your article as serious
consequences might result. The articles
cleaned should be most thoroughly rinsed
after immersion, and dried in sawdust. A
comparatively small quantity of the solution
as formulated, would produce death if taken
internally. While the formula, rs given by
you is one of the best known to the trade, for
the purpose named, it should never be al
lowed to remain where children could reach
it, or adults by mistake use it for any other
purpose. Jewellers always keep it in vessel,
plainly marked poison.

The sun shone e'er the hill tops,
Announcing ano her day;
The glittering snow lay on the ground,
For miles and miles AVA.
The smoke from the country farm house,
Assembled INTO the air =
The housewives were busy at their work,
And peace was everywhere.
Soon up the country highway,
Appeare II horse and sleigh:
Containing youth and maiden,
From the hamlet far away.
They had been to see the Parson.
He had made them, man and wife:
Had wished them health, and happiness.
Gods blessings through their life,
Changes have been wrought since then,
Old fine walks too and fro:
But this little scene witnessed
Five and twenty years ago.
To night we meet in city home.
To welcome this couple again:
They have II aveled LIES road together,
v it'll Its pleasures and its pain.
Death has entered thrice their household
tsorne three little flowers away,
Placed them safe in Jesus keeping,
Till that great and holy day.
But a single flower is left them.
Precious though It be but one,
And in him is all they needeth,
Gentle, loving, faithful son.
Many friends to ight are gathered,
10 extend their wishes kind;
Father, mother. brothers, sisters,
Aunt and uncle, here we find.
You have met with all life's changes,
All its sunshine and its shade
SO. when walking through its pathway,
Trust in God be not afraid.
When your work earth is ended,
And your life long task Is DER.
MAY you DO IN receive a welcome
