A MIRACULOUS CURE.
A Paralytic Forgets Her Ailment ana
Runs Up Stairs In Fright.

A lady at the South End was enjoying
a visit from her mother, who had been
stricken with paralysis some years pre-
yious. As soon as she arrived at her
daughters home she stipulated that she
must sleep down stairs, as her health
would not permit her to climb up stairs
The man of the house, like dutiful SON.
in.law, gave up his bed below and went
up stairs himself Finally a severe
storm broke out and the lightning and
thunder were terrific.
The lady of the house, little timid,
thought she would light the gas in the
dining room. As she had done so and
turned to 60 back to the bed room che
was startled 10 see the face OF a rough
looking man peering at her from one OF
the piazza windows. The woman, clad
in her night clothes, was chained with
fear for only an instant, and then with
out uttering a sound she fled up stairs tt
awaken her husband. In the meantime
the old lady, her mother, heard hel
daughters bare feet swiftly pstterine
across the floor, heading for the stairway
and intuitively feeling that something
was wrong and entirely forgetting hel
own condition sprang from the bed anc
fairly flew after her daughter. Sht
reached the stairway and in spite OF hel
paralytic infrmities, which she had 81
carefully nursed for years, found hersel
rushing up stairs.
Her daughter heard the steps behinC
her and supposed that the man she haC
seen on the piazza had broken in anC
was pursuing her. Not for an instan
did she imagine that her invalid ant
paralytic mother could move so rapidly
This added to her fright and increased
her pace. She rushed up to her hus
bands bedside, shouting, "Save me! saw,
me !" and looking around-saw her in
valid mother.
"Why, mother, is this you? though
YOU couldn't walk up stairs"

Burdette Refers TO an Inevitable Line
In Travelers' Letters.
Ifthere is one passage in the letters
of American travellers Europe more
tiresome than another it is this: During
our six weeks stay in Paris we did not
see a single drunken person." Then
they travel through Switzerland, Ger
many, Australia; Italy and Spain, and all
France, and still they do not see a
drunken person. They attribute the
sobriety OF the people to the fact that
every body drinks wine and beer, drinks
it all the time and lots of it, with no
high license and prohibition nonsense
to bother them, Consequently they never
get drunk. Well, now, the only iufer.
ence one can draw from these remarka-
BILE letters is either that the writers were
themselves blind drunk all the time
they were in Paris, or that the Partisan
drunkard is a most successful hider.
Because. while our travellers last year did

travellers of ours always contrast the so.
brie.y of Europe with the excesses of
America. 1t is just as well to bear in
mind the official report while reading
these letters, and perhaps, if the writers
of the letters drank less ard thought

A Campaign Secret Given Away.

In the campaign of 1884 the two can
didates for governor in pivotal
Western State arranged for a series of
Joint discussions. Both men were popu-
lar, both of fine appearance and we're so
well matched in mental force aud as
orators that the contest between them
promised to be magnificent one. For
several weeks the scales balanced evenly.
But one day the brilliant Republican
candidate came up ailing. He seemed
overcome and spoke laboredly. The
next day he was even less effective.
Later he was compelled to ask his opro-
nent for postponemeEt of certain ap-
pointments, which was granted. Before
the campaign ended he had abandoned
the field altogether.
Meantime the Democratic candidate
continued his canvass, seeming to grow
stronger, cheerier and more effective
with each succeeding week. He was
elected. One evening in December
while entertaining several gentlemen he
said:
Il will tell you a campaign secret
which gave me the election. With the

SUMMER COMPANIONS.

Mid the flowers and the brakes,
In the sun, in the shower,
One with insect and bird,
Children born for an hour;
They pitched their white tent
On my wild blooming sward,
Contented with summer
And nature unbarred.
One morning when storm-wiud
Swept over the land,
And the fog-bell wac tolling
Blind ships from the strand,
j sought my green pasture
And sail-sheltered birds,
There was silence for laughter
And sadness for words.
No- again with the season
When soft waves return,
Gods sweetness of sunshine,
And lilies that burn,
DO they pitch on my green sward
Their white-winged tent,
Nor dance in cool sunshine
When clover is bent.
Then come. mighty storm wind,
Companion thou me,
For in dark and in tempest
Ny spirit is freel
The summer may go,
And the flowers they may die,
On thy wing to my dearest
Ever nearer hy.

it the name of "The hanntcd house,"
This has been caused by sew ,ral strange
stories concerning it, each of which is
tinged with enough of bloody crime to
give it its reputation and cause people to
shun it, of which tAc following dark and
mysterious tragedy seems to be the one
most generally believed:
The house was built many wears ago,
with lumber and materials taken down
the river from Cincinnati, by young
rIan named West, whose family were
among the pioneers Of Boone county,
all the members of which were promin-
ent a nd respected citiz ans of the com.
munity at that time. The house was in
tended to be his future home. and at the
time Of its construction was regarded as
the finest residence in the neighborhood
nearly all the others being log cabins of
rude construction. The young lady to
whom he was engaged to be married
and whom he expected to occupy his
new home with him as his wife was
named Reed, and lived upon the opposite
side of the Ohio on the hills near
Aurora. At that time Aurora was but a
small piece, and much of the surround
ing country, which is now divided up
into beautiful farms, was covered with
the dense original forest. Miss Reed

VERY PRETTY YOUNG LADY,
though she would not be considered
beautiful. end was possessed of more
than ordinary intelligence for those
times, highly respected aud popular, and
much admired in the community, and
her many friends, as well as those of her
future husband, predicted that their
married life would be very happy. In
due time the marriage took place at the
home of the young bride, apd after the
ceremony their friends accompanied
the young couple TO the river, and
West rowed his wife over to the newly
built and furnished home, reaching there
Just al dark. Their friends watched
them from the opposite shore till they
entered the house, and that was the last
time either was ever seen alive. Late
