She is gone who late was here,
In girlhood's freshest prime;
Transplanted in that heavenly soil,
Mid joys, and scenes sublime.
We should not wish her back
On life's tempestuous sea,
Where billow after billow rolls.
In wild austerity.
Beyond this realm of death,
A world of care and sin,
She saw the immortal port of bliss,
And strove to enter in.
She views a cloudless sky,
And walks the celestial plain,
Wakes the immortal golden harp,
And strikes the glad refrain.

Fair Eden's flowers among,
She blooms with ever-during youth,
In the summer-land of song.
Darling, We'll meet thee there,
When life's short day is DER,
To praise the God whom angels praise.
To laud him and adore.
How changed is her estate!
To her cottage in the West,
An angel came and bore her
To the mansions of the blest.
Then, mother, dry your tears,
And, father cease to mourn;
Mollie has passed the portals bright,
On angels pinions borne.

A Rabbit-Skin ScaIp.

The surgeons at the Hartford city
hospital are making curious expert
ment in their endeavors to renew the
scalp of Rosanna Flynn. Her scalp was
wholly torn off in a Collingsville factory
last August. For months the engrafting
upon the Uranium of small pieces of hu-
man skin has been in progress, the bits
not exceeding in size the dimensions of
silver 5-cent piece. Eventually the
hospital attendants became tired of con-
tributing these bits of skin from their
own persons, and especially as the wo-
man was so careless as to hinder the
progress of the work by striking her
head against objects. The physicians,
therefore, have resorted to bits of rabbit
skin instead of human cuticle, and with
fairly good success. The skin is built
up around the edges. and there is quite
an island, so to speak, of mingled hui
man and rabbit skin on the top of the
head. The aim of the doctors is to unite
this with the edges below, and while
they anticipate success they don't look
for it under year at 1east.-Bostos

Safety of Registered Mail.

"Some people imagine, said post
office official, ''that if they register a
letter it is the same as putting money in
the bank-it's safe. Then there are those
who believe that registering is no guar
anty. They quote the backwoods maxim
that the government will trace up a
lost registered package and tell you
where it is lost and you can get it YOUR
self-if you can That is mistake.
The understanding now is that the man
who can be proved to have handled the
package last before it was lost must
make it good. If he doesn't he may
hand in his resignation and let his
bondsmen get out of it the best way
they can. Only last week package
was lost here. There were but two men
in the department when it arrived and
the agent got his receipt from them.
The people who sent the package made
affidavit that it contained $500, and the
two men made it good rather than lose
their places and be disgraced guess
you'll find the registered mail pretty
safe" -----------------
