A BLACK THOMAS RIDE.
Outwittcd the Trainmen and Rode
From Philadelphia to Washington.

From the Baltimore Sun.
Passenger train 511 of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, which arrived at Camden
station at 3:45 pm. recently, brought a
singular, unwelcome and unpaid-for pas
senger, whose advent caused mingled senti-
ments of amusement and superstition to
the officers in charge of the train. The sin
gular passenger was a large coal-black cat,
with particularly large green eyes, one ear
alertly cooked and the other, through some
encounter perhaps, with another Of his
kind, dropping and detected.
The cat was seen strolling leisurely about
the train yard of the Chestnut street sta
ton, Philadelphia. His curiosity seemed
attracted by train oil, and he gave it as
thorough an inspection as the limited time
of its delay at the station allowed. When
the train began to move slowly out the cat
gave a tremendous bound and landed on
the front truck Of one of the cars. There
he settled down composedly, blandly purr-
ing his evident satisfaction with travel.

them. They live in your midst.
Their evidence typifes the Truth in
Testimony, as distinguished from
falsehood and exaggeration.
When Doctor Mccoy returned
from Europe he found the pictorial
testimony, original with. his practice,
debaunched by misrepresentation,
purchase of evidence and all kinds of
unholiness. The publication of real
cures is his rebuke to this iniquity.
The majesty OF Wonderful Skill
environs this testimony.
A skill which the profession as we'll
as the people recognize-a skill I'M
der which doubt is silenced, before
which falsehood falters, and with
which Truth proclaims its guarantee
of kinship.

Only the fortunate one.

Reborn to the world OF sound,
Again hearing life's sweet song
Through a that sence-drown'd.
Go ask them and they will tell
How happiness streamd thro' tears,
When their loving voices fell
Like music upon my ears.
How I danced and reeld with joy,
And thank d the God Of bliss,
When again my wife's Il love you
! heard felt her kiss;
How I clasped the boy to my breast,
And bless him, and drank each word,
As he prattled the prayer taught him,
And every word L heard;
How the song Of the bird In the cage,
And the buzz of the chandelier,
And the tides Of noise in the street,
And the bells ringing loud and clear,
And the tick-tick- tick Of the clock,
And the sounds of feet in the hall
Swept to my brain emotions
That thrilled my senses all.
And thanks were mingled with gladness
That back to my loved I'd found
Ny way from the Tomb of Silence
Into the World Of Sound
