THAT FAR wAY LOOK


an illustrative anecdote. 1t is that sto-
ry of pensive young girl, who sat
looking into an old-fashioned oven
roaring with the blaze of dry split
wood. Her mother noticed an unusual
sadness in her face and soon observed
tears trinckling down her CHEEKS.
''Jerusha Ann, my pet, what is the
mat,erp"
Nothing, ma, nothing"
Soon the unhappy child sighed, and
the mother Observed large increase of
the aqueous flDw.
"Jeru@ha Ann, my sweet, tell your
trouble TO your ma.
90, ma, | was thinking, suppose /
should live to grow up and get married.
and have n little daughter, and she
should live 10 be- rs biz rs | am, and
then she should crawl into an oven oil
on fire like that! O, ma, it would be
dreadful, dreadful!'
An intelligent lady sitting az our ta-
bic took a bunch of grapes, and was SO
long eating the first grape that / sug-
gested it might be II bad one.
80 no" she replied, "but the Rev.
Mr.. W-was at our house the other
evening and told us he had just read of
a Young man having grape seeds
crowded into a small pouch off one OF
the inteStines, where the seed remained;
the part lntlamed and suppura ed; this
produced peritonits and death.
The lady declared
&" shall never eat another grape
without carefully removing the seeds. "
| urged that the taste was unpleaS-
ant il the pul p were broken, and besides
that the seeds contributed 10 the
heaIthtulness of grapes by their me
chancal influence on the lining mem
brane of the alimentary canal.
The lady shook her hqac and ex-
claimed
Il could never consent to run such
@ fearful risk"
A Lady friend mentioned to us, last
evening, conversation with a we'll
known authoress about cremation. The
authoress pronounced in favor of it
with great emphasis, because, said she,
"somowhere out West in removing a
body from q grave the coffin was
opened, and it was found that the poor
girl had turned over. 1t is awful to
think of. From this time shall advo-
cate cremation, for that leaves no
cnanCe UO lurn over.
A wealthy English lady who had in
duged in unlimited rich food and wines,
and had neglected exercise and fresh
air uHtil her body was ripe and all
ready for disease, ate, one evening be-
fore retiring, two grapes. In the night
she was violently attacked with stOm-
ach trouble and for several weeks clay
at the point OF death" Wncn she
could command sufficient strength to
speak, she would hoarstly whisper,
%, those grapes! those grapesl those
grapes!"
During her convalescence she would
shake her head and eXclaim:
"rhose dreadful grapes! those dread
ful grapes" "
Ny stenOgraphic amanuensis stops
me just here to give still more strik-
ing ease. 1t seems she has been for
some time urging her mother, who re-
sides in distant city, to come to New
York and remain during the winter.
TIE mother is anxious to come, but IS
afraid. She writes
"Your great city stands on an island
separated from the surrounding coun-
try, and it Is only question OF time
when the great weight you are putting
upon it Will sink the whole thing to un-
fathomabIe depths. No, my daughter,
would like TO visit you, but | cannot
take such risk. y
In Central New York there lived n
Mr. Wells, who was moderate
preacher and Il very moderate shoe
maker. He preferred preaching.
Brother Wells fairly starved his wife
and six children while he was wander
