A little Danbury (Mass.) girl suffered
from peculiar accident the other day.
She was playing with tea-bell, the
tongue of which was hung by steel
wire, hooked 1t the end. She took the
tongue in her mouth, when it slipped off
the hook. and the hook caught in her
tongue 20 far back as to hold the bell
tightly over her face. She was too young
to aid in relieving herself, but the doctor
finally worked in pair of nippen and
cut the wire.
A funny story is told Of lady who
was foolish enough to answer a "per-
seafge 10Y paper, which stated that
q young man was desirous 81 making the
acquaintance of = young woman with
view to matrimony. She carried on a
long correspondence with the advertiser,
taking, however. the precaution to have
her letters copied by a confidential
friend. She always sent the copies and
retained the originals. Her answers came
regularly, but her correspondent was
quite - cautious as she was herself, for
he always employed typewriter, and
she had no means of becoming familiar
with his handwriting. Finally. after
good deal of gvsh, meeting was agreed
upon between the pair, and the lady was
somewhat surprised; when she arrived at
the place appointed, to see her brother,
wearing in his button-hole the flower
which was decided upon as the means of
identification. They both acknowledged
their folly by indulging in hearty laugh
and went home together, fully resolved
to have nothing further to do with these
traps to catch the unwary, called "per-
sonals."
A first-class ghost story. Some time
ago young man named Hallett died at
Greenpoint, New York, leaving young
wife and daughter He knew that his
wife would have to earn her own living
and would not be able to support the
child, and therefore he exacted prom
ise from his mother to care for and
educate the little one. Recently she per-
mitted the little girl to go and live with
another lady. The balance of this story
is best told in Mrs. Hallett's own words:
"on Friday morning I was seated in my
kitchen and waiting patiently for the re-
turn of my daughter, who had gone to
see how the little one was getting along.
was startled by a knock shortly after
and turning around saw my son as plainly
as ever in life. He moved towards me
and when by my side his breath came
upon my face with the warmth of a liv-
ing person. As looked up, he took my
hand and with the happiest expression I
have ever seen on any face vanished. I
called my daughter and told her what
had happened, but she could not believe
it. If was + dream pray God that all
my dreams will give HE The same pleas

he is happy"
Strict coMpliance with will. A few
years ago MIR. George NJ. Marsh died in
Portsmouth, and, after some legacies,
left the residue of his property for an
Episcopal church to be built in desig-
mated part Of that city, where was mill
in which were employed good many
English people, who were too far away
to conveniently attend st. Johns church.
[The mill has since been burned down,
and many of the operatives have left the
town. At the time of Mr.. Marsh's death
his property was thought t., be about
$4,000, or rather the portion of it left for
said church, but, owing to an unexpected
rise in mining and other stocks, in little
while it more than doubled, till the trus-
tees to whom it was left found themselves
in possession of over $4,000. Now that
was large sum to use in building a
church in the not large city of Ports
mouth, particularly as there is one Epis-
copal church there already. But what
was to be done? The will expressly said
all the money must be put in said church.
Could not portion Of it be reserved for
an endowment for said church to keep it
IN repair, and to help pay the salary Of
the rector? No; men learned in the law
decided that it must all be put in church
building, and the result is the hand
soonest and most costly church in the
diocese Of New Hampshire. It is built
of stone, in the most solid manner, the
style being early English pointed.
Her revolver her check. The Beaver
savings bank of Pittsburg failed, and on
Thursday morningth president William
McCrerry, sat in his Office in the bank
building making the final preparations
for the announcement of the failure,
when the bank door opened and

entered the Office. The president did
not recognize the woman, who was Mrs.
Ubalto, the widow of q soldier, and the
young man her son. The woman stop
ped before him and said:
Il have 500 deposited here, and would
like to draw it now"
Impossible" replied the bank pres
ident, 1--WE have failed, and you will have
to take your chance with the other cred

".Now," said Mrs. Ubalto, as she camly
cooked the weapon and took a position
in front of the president, II want $780,"
Mr.. McCrerry smiled and said: "When
say thing cannot be done it can't"
The old soldiers wife raised the revolver
until the muzzle looked into McCrerry's
eye. She was as firm Is q rock and did
| not quiver in muscle Her face was
growing winter every instant as she said
in low, stern, voice, ''Give me my
money"
Mr.. McCrerry looked At the shining

and wavered for q minute, then he turn
