He Swallowed q Fish,

Probably one of the happiest men in the
county of Burlington is Seth Bennett, of
Juliustown, who has just succeeded in get
ting rid of one of the most unwelcome
guests man ever had. Several months
ago MIR. Bennett was walking out in the
country, and took occasion to Stake his
thirst at a small brook by the roadside. AS
he was drinking he felt pretty sure that he
had drank something in the water that he
ought not to, and rs he travelled along he
almost imagined he could feel it move.
The longer his mind dwelt upon the mat
ter the more dissatisfied and miserable he
became. He didn't enjoy his food as
was his wont, and for many days COM
planned of q pain in the pit of his stomach.
Within a day or two he was seized with
vomiting accompanied with considerable
distress, which lasted for some time and
resulted in his vomiting up fish about
three inches in length. This he took to
Pemberton and showed it 70 physician
there, who pronounced it species Of pike.
1t was a perfect specimen of the finny
tribe, with head fins and tail. Since he
got rid of it Mr.. Benefits health has i'm
proved and his mental equilibrium has been
entirely restored. but hereafter he will new

The American Abroad.

These antiquity stories have made many
fine old paintings, and they do great bust
ness with Americans. The Dutch mer-
chant who preceded over the one above
spoken of told me he had Just sold about
5000 Alilders, or over $1,000 worth of
goods to Robert Garrett, and that he made
sales to Americans daily. He had great
faith in American honesty, too, and when
| admired piece Of this same old Flemish
lace and regretted that had not the time
to get money from the bank before leaving
to purchase it, he doubled it up and told
ME to take it along and send him the price
at my leisure. You can remit me-" said
he, from Antwerp before you sail if you
have time, or, if more convenient, take it
with you and send me the money when YOU
get home to America" But said: You

A Tear Kercl,ief.

In some portions of Tyrol peculiar
and beautiful custom prevails. When a
girl is about TIC be married, before she
leaves her home to go to the church, her
mother hands her a handkerchief. which is
called a tear llerchief. 1t is made of newly
spun linen and has never been used 1t is
with this kerchief that she dries her tears
when she leaves her fathers house, and
while she stands at the altar. After the
marriage is over and the bride has gone
with her husband TO their new home, she
folds up the lerchief and places it I'M
washed i'll her linen closet, where it remains
untouched. The tear kerchef has only
performed half its mission. Children are
born, grow up, marry, and move away from
the old home. Each daughter receives from
the mother a new tear kerchief. Her own
remains where it was placed in the linen
closet the day of the marriage, and there it
remains until her death, when it is taken
from its place and spread over the placid
features of the dead. never to be removed
until we are summoned to come forth on
the resurrection morn.
