A Lively Corpse.

In q ncighbOring town death entered
an estimable household at midnight,
and an undertaken from this city was
summoned by telegraph. writes Bridge
port correspondent of the New York
Sun. On arriving at the house the un-
dertaker sent his lady assistant to an
upper cnambcr to prepare the corpse
Taking her box of bandageS, sponges,
etc. the assistant went, as she thought,
to the room indicated. but instead She
entered the room of Young lady. a
member of the bereaved family. who
had fallen sound asleep from exhaustion
caused by her constant attendance at the
sick bed. The attendant had an old
fashioned tallow dip. which she sat on
the stand, and depositing her box on
the bed by the side of the sleeping
beauty, she began operations. Taking
a soft sponge. she carefully washed the
face, observing, what was not un-
usual, that the flesh was still warm.
The Young lady slept on, but when a
fine-toothed comb was drawn through
some tangled crimps of her hair she
awoke with II suddenness that upset
both the attendant and the box of imple-
ments. Both ladies gave a shrek that
could have been heard blocks away,
and as soon as match could be struck,
for the candle had been overturned,
explanations followed. The attendant
believed the corpse had come to life,
and the awakened damsel thought she
had been disturbed by burglar. The
household below was aroused, and they
followed the undertaken IN quick sue
cession to the scene of the disturbance.
Although the death had cast gloom
over the household, there WAS quiet
laugh when the situation was explained.

The GroNNn-Un TOInboY.

The girl romp, otherwise known as
the tomboy, is an eager. earnest, inr-
pulsive, glad-hearted, kind-souled specf-
men of genus feminine. If her laugh is
too frequent and her tone triiie too
emphatic we are willing to overlook
these for the sake of the true life and
exulting vitality to which they are the
escape valves; and, indeed, we rather
like the high-pressure nature which
must close off its superiluous steam in
such ebullitions. The glamcing eye, the
glowing check, the fresh, balmy breath,
the 1.-THE, graceful play of the limbs tell
Il tale of healthy and vigorous physical
development which is Natures best
beauty. The soul and the mind will be
developed also in due time, and we
shall have before us a woman in the
highest sense of the term. When the
tOmboy has sprung up to healthful
and vigorous womanhoOd she will he
ready to take hold of the duties of life,
TO become worker in the great system
of humanity. She will not sit down to
sigh over the work given her to do. to
simpcr nonsense or to fall sick at heart,
but she will be ever ready to take up
her burden OF duty. In her track there
will be sound philosophy, in her
thoughts boldness and originality, in
her heart Heavens purity, and the
world will be better that she lived in it.
To her allotted task she will bring
health, vigor, energy, and spirits; these
will give her both the power and the
endurance without which her life must
be, in some respects at least, failure.

A Norwegian Bride and Groom.

The bride was about %, / should say,
with II ruddy complexion, good features.
and large blue eyes. She had upon her
head the bridal crown, without which
few peasant women are married in Nor
way. tried one on my own head on
another occasion, and found it heavy.
There is a brass rim to fit the head, and
the open silver-work above it is often
gilt in place with patches of gold, and
emhellished with garnets. Such. crowns
are kept as heirlooms; and it is no un-
common thing for the women of the
same household to be married in Il
crown that has done similar duty in the
family for one or two hundred years.
The skirt was of black material, the
bodice was snowy white, with corset
of red and green, and an apron of white.
with bands of embroidery hanging in
front of it. Around the neck and the
waist were squarely-made, dusky silver
bands. looking like an eccentric collec-
ton of old buckles.
The bridegroom wore ''top hat"
which seemed TO have been kept in his
family much after the fashion of his in
tended's bridal crown. He has u red
waistcoat very short in the waist, with
brass buttons on it, and singular kind
of coat, very loose, with frontal orna-
mcnt. There was just Il suspicion of
red piping down the side of the trousers.
He was a muscular, sun-burnt hardv-
looking man of about so, though proba-
bly, younger than he seemed to be- The
white bodices and colored skirts, the
silver jewelry. of the girls in the process
sion, and the snowy headgear of the
married women with crimped lappets
hanging down the back, and V-shaped,
made n brave show.
The second couple looked much older.
The brides had their wedding rings
already on their fingers. and each car
ried several handkerchiefs folded I'D, of
various colors. These handkerchiefs are
usually presents given at the betrothal.
The ceremony was short. The SER
vice and communion were over before
the bridal professions reached the
church; and us they entered the two
couples advanced to the altar, knelt
down, and then placed themselves, with
their friends, about the altar-rails. The
pastor, in black gown, with an Eliza
bethan ruff round his neck, addressed a
few words to the groups, and then qucs-
toned DridegroomS and brides in turn.
Each couple then knelt down, with their
hands Joined together, and the pastor
pronounced them man and wife A

ornamented with Louis XIV. scrolls en-
broidered with silver, and chenille out

L OOOs will simply saw. L "

we have had the exclusive sale of the
Rockf ford Quick Train Railroad Watch
for the past three years. No OTHER
PARTY CAN BUY THEM FROM THE FAC
TORY, OR HAS ANY RIGHT TO SELL
THEM. 1t seems to us much like boys
play to get angry and advertise prices
because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, as we
have no money to advertise goods not
in stock. Such desperate efforts will
not deceive any. The people know
that we have never cursed the place as
ready to be fenced in, because we were
going to leave it. They know that we
are not travelling experimental insti-
tuition, and they will continue to buy

An Autumn Night.

What mellow radiance wraps the slumbering
world
Soothing its harshness with benignani
bandl
Against a lustrous amber background
stand
Black-bordered leaves and branches loosely
swirled;
In flushed or citrine-tinted heaps close-curled
The apples rest: the orange pumpkins
yield
To cumbrous sheep; and on the spreading
field
The tasseled tents of ripened corn are furled.
Elusive spirits fiutter everywhere
Mid moist brown leaves and all the vapor-
Gus air
Id filled with whispering in an unknown
tongue.
Yet not unknown; Thy praise is every
sound,
The teeming earth Thine altar is, fruit
crowned,
The moon golden censor near it swung.
