A BoDY-sNATcHER's STORY.

My body-snatching experience" said an
old resident of McKeesport to reporter, as
his eyes twinkled over the recollection Of
the affair long ago relegated to the store
house OF his memory, 81 have never had any
body-snatchiDg experience of my own, but
if you give me a solemn promise not to reveal
the identity of the doctors, nor OF your
informant, 1 will tell you of a peculiar
experience which some of my particular
friends, who were then entering upon the
study of medicine, had many years ago. The
actors in that weeks work are limited in
number, and to-day are scattered far and
wide over the broad surface of the earth,
yet venture TO say that not one OF them has
since had an experience which will compare
in its extremeties of horror and ludicrous-
ness with this body-snatching up the 1ough
River" The old gentleman thereupon set
tied himself in his armchair, and the story
as it fell from his lips is substantially as re-
lated below:
THE slanting rays of the afternoon sun,
as they dance through the long stretches OF
forest which adorn the highlands marking
the course of the daredevil Yough can
pierce with difficulty bushy thicket which
rams the course of great cleft in the hills
few miles above McKeesport. The winds,
sweeping down through the gorge, sing o sad

Pablo Beach, one of their number, Miss
Mamie Shaw, daughter of Captain William
A. Shaw, of jacksonville, Fla. was thrown
from off her feet by a monster breaker.
Her screams attracted the attention of every

like flash, large black Newfoundland

Pablo, came bounding down the bank, and
springing into the breakers caught Miss
Shaw by her clothes and brought her to
shore. Black, as the dog is named, has be-

Flowers and fruits of the summer,

When, over the fields and hill-sides,
We seek and find you cutI
Do you blackberries know how you glisten?
You raspberrieS know how you grow?
Or you gOoseberries know how you prickle?
If not, then you ought to know.
Do you hide from us ever, on purpose,
And. deep in the green, keep stil2
OR is ii quite social and pleasant
When basket and pail we fill?

They have their sharp stings f0r us people,
And only their velvet for you.
And how do you berries, wonder,
Feel, spred on beautiful dish,
All covered with sugar. That strikes me
As just whata berry would wish.
It's a sort of reward, an thinking:
That every good berry should meet;
And yet, I'm not sure We should like it,
To be-sO delicious to eat
