The Story Longfellow Told Dickens

To Wilkie Collins, from New York,
under date of January -, 1868, Mr..
Dickens writes: being at Boston
last Sunday, l took it into my head
TO go over to the medical school and
survey the holes and corners into
which that extraordinary murder
was committed by Webster. There
was the furnace and all the grim
gpouts and sinks, and chemical ap-
planes and what not. Atdinner af-
terward Longfellow told ME a terrific
story. He dined with Webster with
in a year of the murder, one of a
party of ten or twelve! AS they sat
at their wine Webster suddenly ord
cred the lights turned out and a
bowl of some burning material to be
placed on the table, that the guests
might see how ghostly it made them
look. AS each man stared at the
rest in the weird light all were horror
stricken to see Webster with a rope
around his neck, holding it up over
the bowl, with his head jerked on
one side and his tongue lolled out,
representing a man being hanged?"-

An Amusing Fish Story.

Speaking of fishing, reminds me of
an amusing little incident that occur
ed in my family last spring. My vile
shares with me passion for fishing,
and during the season we frequently
take O boat and row out to the
mouth of the river to fish for pike
and white bass with minnoNs. Some
INSCRIPTIONS person has told my
wife that male fish will not bite
hook held by man, and vice versa;
so that one lovely evening toward
the latter part of June, when we had
dropped our anchor on our accus-
toned fishing ground, said; "Now,
my darling, we will soon see whether
there is more he or she fish in the
creek" We had hardly assumed the
easiest possibleposition to await the
bites, when my wife, in her accus-
toned energetic manner, succeeded
in landing a two pound white bass.
She did not say First blood" wom-

fishing, the plan seemed feasible. I

The way to get rich with a rush is

Your friends punish you more than
your enemies.
Many a man knows a dollar by

Don't try to drown your trouble

The first time a man is called Badly

1t is so easy for a mean man to say
that the people dislike him because

1t is safe to say that no girl ever
went to a party without wearing

There is a coarse streak in every

The two ugliest things on earth are
the man who looks like girl and The

The woman who takes three hours

Every man knows how mean he is

Learned Ignorance and Early Rail-
roads.

London Globe.
In the Archives of the Nurnberg
Railway at Furth, which was the
first line constructed in Germany,
protest against railroads has been
found, drawn up by the Royal Col
lege of Bavarian Doctors. In it
occurs the following passage:
"Travel in carriages drawn by loco
motive ought to be forbidden in the
interest of public health. The rapid
movement cannot fail to produce
among the passengers the mental
affection known as delirium fur
iosum. Even if travellers are willing
to incur the risk, the Government
should at least protect the public.
A single glance at q locomotive pass
ing rapidly is sufficient to cause the
same cerebral arrangement; con-
sequently it is absolutely necessary
to build a fence 10 feet in hight on
each side of the railway"

Inconvenience is the natural result,

ference noticeable in railway porters,
horse-car conductors, and especially
hotel clerks-yet there is behind it, all
a hartiness and real effort to be kind

honestly magnanimous. 1t is not
really to our credit that we endure
horrible overcrowding in street-cars,
and submit patiently to be bumped
over railroad tracks and herded and

with e.s little respect for our comfort
and safety as is. commonly given to

A Wedding,
From Chambers Journal.

From Chambers Journal
We once took in wedding at
which the only attendants, besides
the groomsman and bridesmaid,
was a stout, determined-looking
elderly female, who did not come
up with the wedding party to the
altar rails, but seated herself in one
of the choir stalls not far off. We
observed that both bride and bride
groom looked at her with very dis
quieted chances. Once or twice We
noticed that the elderly female
seemed to be about to make a move,
especially at that part of the service
when possible opponents are re-
quested to ''speak or else hereafter
forever hold their peace" When
the service was over we inquired
of this good dame why she had
come to the wedding. "Pm the
girls MOTHER" was her reply, "and
came to prevent the business. I"
We naturally asked why she hadn't
prevented the business" and we
found that the thought had struck
her at the last moment that they
''might do worse than get married
after ALL" We have often since
thought of what must have been
the agitated feelings of that bride
and bridegroom until the irrevoca-
BILE words were said over them.
