A JIOSS ROSC.
AVAS IT A GHOST ? .
. A correi?pondent srnds us the following
which he assures us is a true story :
'The writer of this brief article is per
sonally cognizant of the fact that the cel
ebrated Julius Janin has borne the high
est testimony to the astute discrimination,
philosophical attainment?, and general
education of a certain German lady now
residing in this city.. 'Astute discrimina
tion and 'iihilosophical attainments, are
emphasized here, or intended to be 60, be
cause the story about to be related on the
authority of this lady, and in which she
appears to have played a prominent part,
is so strange and incredible that it has
been deemed necessary to refer to her
clearness of perception and lier logical
turn of mind to establish the respectability
of her evidence to the premises.
'Liefore leaving Beilin, her native city,
about eight years ago, she becume the
intimate friend and companion of a cer
tain Miss Alice G , a very beautiful
yeiung girl, who, among her other accom
plishments, was noted for her music ami
einbre'idery. Circumstances so ordered
it that these two ladies traveled together
through the greater part of Germany,
France and Italy, with the mother of Al
ice, who was a wealthy invalid. While
sojourning in the vicinity of the Liake of
Corao, Alice at I he instance of her friend,'
began a piece of embroidery, intended to
represent a basket of flowers, the central
feature of which was to be a "fulNblown
moss rose filled with crimson," as Alex
ander Smith has it. Gradually the can
vas became almost odorous, as bud after
bud eeemed to open to the sunbeam of
her needle as it glinted through the pink
and pearly dawn of her fingers. Already
had bunches of leaves fallen with careless
grace over, the verge of the exquisitely
wrought wicker woik ; .some ricb in that
brown, intellectual tinge so dear to Wou
vermans, anrl others bright with all the
emerald loveliness of spring.
' 4During the progress of this delightful
boquet, and whenever the fair embroiderer
sat down to it, she invariably began to
sing some portion of that unrivalled cava
tina, 'Robert toi que j'aime' a circum
stance to which her attention bad been
called frequently, but which she as con
stantly treated with a light-hearted laugh.
In this way matters tfped until the whole
basket was filled, save a vacant spot in
the midst of the clustering flowers, yet to
be occupied by their flushed queen. At
this juncture the mother of Alice was sud'
denly recalled to Germany and, both the
ladies accompanying her, the embroidery
needle was, of course, laid aside for the
time being. This was a source of some
little disappointment to one of the party
at least, as the piece of needle-work waa
intended a9 a eoovenir for the lady first
mentioned in this little history, and as she
was most desirous of possessing it com
pleted to the very last touch. Seeing
that some lime could not but elapse, bow
ever, before the work could be finished,
she took charge of the canvas, humorous
ly exacting a : promise froin Alice that,
whether dead or alive, she should add the
central and crowning flower to the group
which promise was as jocosely, but quite
as explicitly given ; and that, too, on the
very, last day-of December, 18G0.
Through some family complications, not
necessary to explain here, the party broke
up on arriving at ' Paris, Alice and her
friend meeting no more ; the latter having
shortly afterwards Bailed for America,
reaching this city, where as already in
timated she now resides. 4 . ;
'From the moment of her landing here)
and up l within the last couple of months,
.w --'r""- ?:
sbe corresponded regularly with; her friend
who, although' no longer a girl, j was" still
unmarried notwithstanding the ripeness
and facination of hor beauty. In the let
ters that passed between them. Occasional
mention was made of the unfinished em
broidery ; when ' Alice always - jocularly
renewed her pledge to finish the moss rose,
whether dead or alive.' So beautiful was
the basket of flowers in. even its incom
plete condition, it was the practice of its
fair and intellectual custodian to exhibit
it, at limef, to such of her friends as she
deemed judges of such things; while it
was her custom, every New Year's eve
before retiring toret,. to, place' the em
broidery frame before her, on which the
canvas still lay stretched, for the' purpose
of communing in spirit with the loved one
beneath whose fingers it bean to "low.
"In Ibis way time stole on, until the
night of the 31st of .December last, when
this frame was again brought from its
biding p'ace, and shown to a lady and
gentleman' who' happened, to drop in on
its owner. After their departure she who
had prized it so dent ly placed it in a small
parlor adjoining her bedchamber, where,
after dwelling with tearful eyes upon the
happy scenes it awakened, she suddenly
formed the resolution of adding the miss
ing flower herself ; and o this end, as she
was an accomplished embroiderer, she laid
out all her colors on the table, determined
to commence the work on the following
morning. Full of this resolve, she sought
her bed, where she was soon asleep.
- "How long she bad remained in this
state of unconsciousness she was unable
to s;y ; but when she again became aware
of her existence she was both surprised
and alarmed to discover that the apait
ment in which the embroidery frame stood
was filled with a pale, greenish light, and,
more explicable still, it was occupied by
some one who was humming an air that
was familiar to her.- As her senses be
came more collected, her heart stood still !
There could be no mistaking the voice !
It was that of Alice! and the song" was
Robert toi que j'aime !. - Slowly but sure
ly a great fear oveishadowed her, until
6he was totally paralyzed. In vain she
attempted to cry out ! She could neither
speak nor move,' so completely " wns' she
overpowered ; and had not a merciful tin
contiousness again taken possession of her,
she entertains the idea that her life would
have been the forfeit.
It was long after daylight before the
spell which had seized upon her was bro
ken ; and when, after a hasty toilet, she
appeared at the breakfast room, her pale
and agitated countenance bespoke at once
that she was ill at ease. A foreign letter
in a mourning envelope lay beside her
plate. " With trembling band sh broke
the seal. Alice G was dead 1 She
hastened up stairs and sat down at the
table where, on the previous night, she
had arranged all her embroidery materials.
It appeared to ber as though they had
been slightly disturbed. She glanced fur
tively towards the embroidery frame
The moss rose was added to the basket
of flowers ! ' ,
"It has, without effect, been suggested
to this lady that she had herself, while in
some abnormal condition, finished the em
broidery, and that the arrival of the letter
was a strange coincidence. To all such
arguments she turns a deal ear; averring
that she 'was perfectly conscious of her
position while she was listening, to the
cavatina from Hubert ; and that, were she
to receive the wealth of India for working
a rose like the one in question, sheshoold
never be able to perform the task. In
this way she shakes the incredulity of
those who know her; although some arc
not to be convinced that the very singular
affair is incapable of being explained on
natural principles." X. Y. Evening Post.
Influence of Newspapers on Chil
dren. Almost every one has a -good
opinion of newspapers ; that is, nearly
everybody likes to read them. Occasion
ally,, to be sure, we meet with a crusty
individual who appears to think light of
newspapers; buttsilten as a whole, the
world at large entertain a good opinion of
them. There are, however, comparative
ly few who estimate them in their proper
value. They subscribe for and read them,
without reflecting on the immense influ
ence they exercise upon themselves and
families,, and more especially upon the
children.
An experienced and observant school
teacher says of them : ..
, "I have found, it to be the. universal
fact, without exception, that those schol
ars of both: sexes, and of all ages who
have had access to newspapers at home,
when Compared to those who have not,
are better readers, excelling in punctuation
and consequently read more understand
ingly. They are better spellers, and define
words with ease and accuracy. They
obtain a practical knowledge of geography
in almost half the time it requires others,
as the newspaper has made tbena famil
iar, with the most important places, na
tions, their governments and doings on the
globe. v. i ....
They are better grammarian-; for hav
ing become so familiar with every variety
in the newspaper, from the commonplace
advertisement to the finished and classical
oration of the statesman, they more readi
ly comprehend the meaning of the text$
and consequently analyse its construction
with accuracy," - -
The Louisville Commercial t is responsi
ble for the following strange story : ,
It is well known 'that the unfortunate
Kriet who suffered; death or was ' sup
posed to have done so last Friday went
to his doom, grim, .implacable and unatu
rally firm, . It was. well , known that his
desire to live was paramount to every other
earthly desire. , His bearing on the scaf
fold was so unnaturally, calm that tbose
who stood near him thought the man did
not realize that death was so near,' but
still clung to life with a terrible tenacity.
When the rope that held the trap was
severed, and the body fell, it was a subject
of remark that the closed hands and po
sition of the legs and feet remained entire
ly unchanged, showing a trementlods ex
ercise of will and control of nerve. The
neck was not broken, neither i was tho
rope drawn so closely about tjie man's
neck that its mark could be distinguished,
nor was the skin chafed a particle.
General Whittaker, who was present
at the execution by the request ' of the
prisoner,' nnd who examined the body as
it hung, declared in the hearing'of those
in the vicinity of the scaffold that pulsa
tion in the carotid arteries of the neck
was discernible after the jail surgeon and
his assistants had declared life extinct! .
lifter hanging some minutes, Kiiel's
body was placed in the coffin. The limbs
remained flexible, the bands opened with
the least persuasion and were crossed on
his bosom. The' eyes, that stared half
open when the black cap was withdrawn,
remained closed 'after the slight ""touch
upon them, and the face assumed an ap
pearance of immobility and rest.
The red flushing in the cheeks cams
back to a certain exttnt, and the dark
coloring on the neck, under the knotted
rope, partially disappeared. . The.shoit
time that elapsed between his being placed
in the cofjin and being driven away Was
also a subject of remark. No one seemed
to have any charge" of the body," and it
was driven away in a lonely hearse to the
vault at the cemetery. - -".'"
"Now comes the closing scenes 'in this
strange story. ' ' .
Near midnight a light wagon was driven
rapidly out Walnut street, in which were
seated three mu filed, silent figures, one of
them a surgeon of great , experimental
knowledge, a firm believer in the theory
of resuscitation of animal life through the
galvanic process.
In tlie wagon was a mafress and sev
eral dark blankets. The wagon halted
near the cemetery fence. -The horse was
held by the driver,and two men went to
the vault, carrying between them'' large
sack well filled. In a short time they re
turned bearing with them a motionless
figure shrouded in a blanket. The figure
was placed on the raatress, and in silence
the wagon was driven back to the city,
the body was conveyed to the surgery of
a most skillful and learned surgeon, where
some ten or twelve excited and expectant
siuJents stood anxiously awaiting the ar
rival. The body was placed in a recum
bent position on the table, the clothing
loosened, the chest extended, and an in
cision nmae in one oi the veins ot tlie
arm. At first but a small drop of dark
colored blood came firth, but repeated
incjsions and manipulations of the body
caused it at . lait to trickle forth, more
freely. - y - r
The galvann) battery was applied, and.
horrible, and wonderful to relate, in less
than fifteen minutes the warm blood began
to course through the chilled body, and
at last the eyes were opened. The stu
dents stood appalled . and could hardly
realize the extent of demonstration before
them. One ot them spoke to Kriel, ask
ing him "are you sensible " The eyes
answered expressively, and his lips opened
ineffectually, for no speech came forth.
Stimulants were poured down the. throat
of the revived criminal, and in less than
an hour after he had been placed -in the
surgery Ivnel sat up and asked them,
"What have you done? Am I alive f"
The consternation, and yet the profes
sional delight of the spectators were loudly
expressed. The experiment of a reckless
class of students and an able experiment
alist has resulted iaJLhe resuscitation of a
man who had been hung a short time pre
vious. Steps were immediately taken to
save the life of the wretched hian. Jus
tice had been satisfied by the public exe
cution, though life returned.' 'Why should
they deliver up what had so providentially
and wonderfully been restored ? None of
Kriel s personal friends were notified.
Strangers disguised him, furnished him
with means, and by daylight a man weak
and tottering, but firm and immovable in
his demeanor, crossed the river, and was
last seen by a watchful, silent friend, who
kept near him on the train leaving Sey
mour, Indiana, on his way to an unknown
but, it is to be hoped, better future. .
A 'Woman from the rural . districts
bought some mourning goods at a shop a
few days ago, saying her husband was
sick,; and could not. live more than a
week addingi "I thought I had better be
gettin' the funeral things, and make 'em
up, 'cause it's a real bother to get 'em
made when there's dead folks in the house,
an I hate to borrow."

IloUnd to Go Hack to Ilcr Ma. J
. A,, curious scene . was enacting at , the
Un ion Dpot. A young, newly married
couple from a neighboring city came in
on the train from Chicago, their destina-j
lion .being Minneapolis. F rora the young j
man's story it was learned that he was
married in Chicago', and went up' in the
vicinity of Minneapolis; where he worked!
in a mill. A. few weeks ago . the two
went to Chicago to visit the git Ps parents,
arid having paid their visit were going
back .to thki'r home. While sitting in the
ladies' room of the depot, the - wife went
to the ticket office and asked if there was
another train for Chicago that iiiqjit.
Being told that there was, she turned to
her husband and said, "Jim, you can go
to that wooden counlry. if you want to ;
I'm going back to Chicago to-night." "
The poor husband was thunderstruck
at this intelligence, and asked -Lis wife
what she meant ; but slife Vouchsafed no
reply save this : "You go your "way to
the North, Juii, and I'll go back' to Chi
cago." I'Uor Jim's eyes began to fill with
tearS,' arid taking his better half to one
side he talked to her in a very low tone,
and evidently pleaded his case earnestly;
but the shake of th9 head and the ccca
aional sniffle of the wife showed that she
had made up her mind, "and would act
accordingly. Aft-r'. Jim " had tearfully
pleaded some time he turned to liim and
said with just a little spite : "It ain't no
use, Jim, I've got sick of this thing, and it
might .just as well be now as an-viime.
I'm going home, and you may go wheie
you please."" ' "
"But, Susan, only sec how it lools." '
"I don't care how it looks I'm sick of
it, and I'm sick of you, too, Jim, and I'm
going back to my mother, and you'd bet
ter go on Come, the train is going, and
all your -.baggage is ,on r it. - God - bye,
Jim." - .
Jim Was not going t fl in any such way
as that. Nevermind what had become
of the baggngf. He had before only shed
tears, but now he sobbud in downriht
earnest, and really seemed to take the mat
ter much to heart. The wife , called Mm
a booby and a fool, but in spite of all that
Jim kept crying, and clung to his wife until
the night train was ready to move off,
and then went on board, the last fiom him
being a sob and a pleading entreaty that
Susan would give up the foolish notion in
her head, and go to Minnesota with him.
Some of the lookcrf-on pitied him. very
much, while others laughed over his mis
fortunes and really felt that be was as
great a booby as his Susan pronounced
him. Milwaukee Wisconsian.

' As instance of rare pfecosity in a fens
year-old recently occurred in the Sunday
school of an Episcopal church in Albany,
the rector of which takes an especial pride
in the proficiency of his pupils. ' He bad
given out, to be committed to memory by
his scholars, the Collects for the day. On
the following Sunday he called upon' all
who had got the Collect to hold up their
right hand. The show of hands was de
cidedly poor, until he" observed in the back
part of the room a little girl of ten yearn
(whose parents were not in the pale of the
Church, and who had herself but recently
entered the school) confidently elevating
her hand. "Ah ! I see a hand raised in
Miss -s class," said the encouraged
rector ; please repeat the Collect to tin,
my good little giill" The scholar ap
pearing suddenly bewildered, her teacher
said, "If you know the Collect, why don't
you repeat it!" Our little heroine, evi
dently thinking, something was wrong,
bashfully stammered out, "I thought he
wanted all that had the tolic to hold up
their hands, and I had it the other night,
and father bad to stay up and take care
of me 1" At last accounts the child was
still living, iii spite of the defects 'of her
early Presbyterian (O. S ) training, w hicl
did tiot enable her to see any pood reason
why she should r-pcat the ,lCollect."
