Life of "a Dakota Maid.

A broad-shouldered, compactly-
built young woman, with brog
face and hard hands, sat in the
Lake Shore depot last evening
waiting for the departure of the
train for the East. She had just
arrived in town from Dakota.

4 REMAREAKABLE BRtDG E.
Distant about an hours ride by
rail from Avignon is the POnt du
Gard (or Bridge Of the Gard,) a
great hridgc,or aQueduct, built here
by the Romans at a time when this
part Of France was occupied by
the soldiers and colonies Of that
people: and next to the Colosseum
at Rome, it is considered the grand
est and most perfect piece OF Rp-
man architecture now standing in
the world.
tits an immense stone bridge,
stretching across the Whole valley
1t consists of three rows of arches,
one above the other. ln the lower
row there are six very large arches;
above this is q longer row Of elven
smaller arches; and over this, thirty
five arches still smaller. On the
top Of the upper row and forming
the summit Of lhe bridge, is z
covered aQueduci, or waterway
At a little distance this vast bridge
seems almost rs eOtire and perfect
as wncn first built. and we can
hardly realize The fact that it has
s,0od here fIr nineteen centuries
It was erected solely for the pnr-
pose of carrying water across the
valley, and was part of an aque-
duct, twenty-five miles long, con
structed 10y the Romans to con-
duct the water Of the springs oi
Airan 10 their town o. Nemausus,
now &c Fre1cu town Of Mines.
Great stones rroject at regular
intervals from It's sides, TO the top
Of lhe second row Of arches. These
served as supports to the derricss
and other machines by which the
massive stones 0eter raised as the
building progressed. We can also
see the square indeutations in the
stone wort. which were made there
to support tue scafloldiug of the
Roman maSOnS.

An old Partisan lady, residing in
the Rue Fontaine st. GeOrg e's, left
by will the whole OF her fortune
to her butcher. Its amount WAS III

a year. The butcher wasin no way
related to her, did not even know
her by sight, neither had she ever
seen bin. AS the testatrix had no
heirs, either direct or collateral,
and no relations, the will was not
disputed, and the butcher glided
quite comfortably into his new pos

An estate of some value was left

Budd, on condition that he shaved

it to grow again.

How Herberts heart throbed as
he ascended the narrow, uncarpe-
ted stairway Of the tenement house
| its lodges worn into little hollows
! by the tread Of many feet, and
| knocked at the door which had
been pointed out to him as the en-
trance to Mrs. Wallace's room.
How the old times came back to
him as he entered and saw Daisy
sitting all alone at the window,
sewing YEARLY away at some coarse
work.
She rose up, with little shrek.

ry to see mep

He listened to the story of re-
verse and trouble which she had to
tell, with a tender sympathy which
soothed her like the touch OF a
friendly hand.
'Why did you not send to me,
Daisy p lie asked, almost reproach-
fully.
l thought you did not care for
me any more, Herbert'
Look in my eyes, Daisy, and tell
me what you think now!'
'She glanced shyly up-then her
look fell !
'What do they tell you, Daisy :?
Do they speak the secret of my
heart, aud say that | love you still
as dearly as ever! Daisy, you will
come back to my heart
He drew out the gold coin, hang
ing from its faded ribbon, and ex-
tended it smilingly toward her.
'Oh, HERBERT | have missed it
and wept over it SO often. Where
did you find it?'
He told her, adding: 1T is a gol-
den link, dearest, to bind our two
hearts together; a little guide
which has led me back to your side
after all these years Of entrangc-
ment.
When Mrs. Wallace returned
from her brief absence, she found
Daisy once more the betrothed
brideof Herbert Winfield. The ten
years of trial and poverty were but
dream that had passed away aud
been forgotten and round Daisy S
neck hung, as of old, the tailsman
she had not seen for such a weary
while-the tiny gold dollar on its
ribbon of blue.
The course of true love had not
run smoothly, but it WAS true love,
and so it came right at last.

The Ostrich Prospect.

The Anaheim Gazette says the incu.
bators at the ostrich farm are fully charged
with eggs, an d it is possible that in six OF
eight weeks the long-looked-for ostrich
chicks will be q strutting fact. The hens
are laying with their accustomed energy,
and six OF them having reached the age
when they ought to produce fertile eggs,
tangible results are expected. Two of the
hens will be allowed to ''set," and it will
be interesting to note this TRIAL between
natural and artificial methods. One of the
setting hens has now q nest of five eggs
which she warns during the day, and hel
male mate relieves her Of that duty during
the night. Some of the birds will be
plucked during the next few weeks. The
quality OF the feathers has been somewhat
impaired by the heavy Winter rains.

LIN Case of D~iphtherta.

The Virginia Enterprise says: Diph'
liberia is prevalent in this and several
other towns of this State. A physician
saws that it is q disease not difficult to
master if taken in time. The symptoms are
fever and lassitude. with uneasiness about
the throat. On examination of the throat
the parts have a dry, ashy appearance.
An immediate ~precaution, which in nine
ty-nine cases in one hundred will check
the disease, is to blow from a quill into
the throat equal parts of powdered sui
phur and burnt alum; then make a poul-
tice around the neck Of slices of fat salt
pork, and then send for the doctor. .Diph-
theris rapidly assumes the incurable stage,
and should be treated as above on the first
display of the symptoms.
