Slow from the sky the light of day declines ; t'learer within the dawn of srlory "shines, BeveaMnir. In the hoar of nature's rest, A world of wonder ln the poet' breast. Montgomery. Trobably there Is no more Interesting de partment of meteorological science than that relating to those stranee and mysterious bodies termed aerolites and meteors. They suddenly appear to blaze forth, like a rocket, or fire-ball, quickly traversing across a con siderable portion of the sky, Illuminating for a moment the region over which they pass, and then they are one. No one knows how or when these fiery objects originated, or from whence they come. A thousand dif ferent theories and speculations have been advanced by learned scientists and philoso phers, but the wonderful process by which their form and shape was moulded, and their use and destination In the economy of the universe, is yet shrouded In the mystery of the unknown. Pome suppose tney are mas ses of matter from the depths of the earth's Interior ; that have been thrown out by the powerful action of volcanoes. Others think they are the smaller fragments of some large planet, which, countless ages ago, hurst asunder by some frightful collision ; and that they have been coursing round the sun ever since ; until crossing the orbit or path of the earth at a time when it was passing near, they came within the limits of its at traction, and were drawn from their course to it ; and the friction of the earth's atmos phere, as they entered it at a rapid rate, heated them until thy became glowing In candescent, masses. Some believe they are thrown from volcanoes on the moon ; and havinsr reached a point beyond the limits of Its attraction, some of them come within the attractive influence of the earth, and are drawn to It, as in the theory eiven above. Another theory is, that innumerable millions of them are constantly traversing the bound less regions of space, and that the principal part of those which come within the sphere of the earth's attraction are burned up and dissipated nv the htat generated by passing through the atmosphere; but that nothing is really lopt or annihilated ; and they de scend to the earth in the form of a fine dust or Infintesimal powder; and it has heen thought that a half ton of this "star dust " fall? upon the earth's surface everyday. If this theory be correct, the earth must be gradually growing lartrer and larger from year to year, and thoutrh a few centuries mteh'; not make any perceivable difference, a hundred millions of years might bring about a considerable change. Some think comr-ts arp formed of a number of lareo me teors, which have been drawn together by attraction ; and that some time, in some dis tant future, they may become planets, adapt ed to the wants of Intelligent beings, and the various forms of both animate and inanimate life. They argue that the earth has passed through these same preparatory stages; that it was a mass of meteors, then a comet, and then a primary world. Another hypothesis to account for meteoric origin, is that tbey have some time raised from the earth's sur face, in the form of gases, or exhalation; that hy mutual attraction the minute par ticles collected in vapory clouds or masses, and solidifying in the upper regions of the atmosphere, descended to the earth in their developed gravltv alone. Others conjecture that they are diminutive satellites, which have revolved round the world for ages, as the world revolves round the sun. Such are a few of the many different theo ries and speculations advanced hy learned astronomers and philosophers. We do not wish to say that they are all wlthodt fonnda tion, because we do not know ; hut some of them appear to present objections which we cannot well get over by any known mode of reasoning, and we cannot make the theory plain until we can. If they proceed from either terrestial volcanoes or gaseous exhala tions, they would, unless governed by some different law than any with which we are are acquainted, descend like any other fall ing body. Instead of this, they move with much greater velocity than any such force could Impart to them ; and Instead of de scending in a verticle direction, toward the centre of the earth, as all other falling bodies do, they often move in almost a horizontal direction. No known currents of the atmos phere could change the course of a heavy falling body to this extent, and we wait for more and stronger evidence in support of these theories. If tbey are satellites revol ving round the earth, their rate of motion could not be less than five miles per second or more than seven. If their velocity was 'ess than five miles per second, tbey would fall to the earth ; and if it was Rreater than seven, they would recede f.om it; flying away into the unlimited regions of spaee, never to return. Now the velocity 'of mete ors and aerolites is often mnch greater than either of these fienres, and if they are satel lites the principles of centrifngal force and attraction must govern them In a manner not easily understood. The theory that they have been ejected from volcanoes on the moon also has many serious objections, which we have not space at present to describe ; besides most astron omers are agreed that the moon has long been a dead and barren planet ; and her former volcanoes have long since ceased their action. The conjecture that they are the fragments of some disruptured planet Is probably more gronddless than either of the others. Man's works may and often do colide and smash but God's works are not made thus. They are perfect ; and they do not get behind time and come in collision like two railway trains. They are governed by fixed and eternal laws ; and be assured the mighty worlds of the universe are riot running at random. Such a collision of worlds would probably break the nicely adjusted balance of others, and the star system would go down in wreck and ruin. One of the most noted meteors of modern times was the Weston meteor ; so called on account of the town of that name In the southwestern part of Connecticut, over which it passed December 14, 1807, It ap peared nearly half as large as the full moon, and was exceedingly brilliant. For a brief moment, as it swept'majestically across the cloudless sky, it presented a sublime specta cle. Suddenly it burst to fragments : and three heavy reports, like the discharge of artillery, shook the ground. A great num ber of lesser explosions Immediately ensued, and the heavy rumbling sound rolled away lik distant thunder. At the same time a whistling sound was heard near the town above alluded to, succeeded by a dull thud, like the falling of a heavy body. It was soon ascertained that a meteoric stone tad fallen upon a rock near by, the broken frag ments of which were still warm. Another portion came to the earth about five miles away ; tearing up the turf, and burying It self in the ground to the depth of two feet Many fragments were scattered over the vi cinity, the entire weight of which was esti mated to be several hundred pounds. It first became visible about thirty miles west of Albany, at an elevation of about eighty miles ; and sweeping to the southeast, pass ing over more than a hundred miles in about seven seconds, exploded but a short distance from ivong Island Sound, at an elevation of only eight miles above the earth's surface. It was mainly composed of silex and oxyd of iron, with a little sprinkling of magnesia, nickel, and sulphur. One of the larger frag ments weighing about thirty-six pounds, may now be seen in the Cabinet of Yale College. Early in the morning of the 14tb of July, 1847, two tremendous explosions were beard in (he heavens over Brannan, In Bohemia ; and at the came instant two vivid streams of fire were seen to descend to the earth like immense flashes of lightning. Upon exam ining the spot where they struck a fresh hole was discovered in the ground, and burled at the bottom was a mass of Iron weighing forty-two pounds, which for six hours after ward remained so hot that It could not be held in the hand. It was placed In the cabi net at Vienna. The other portion fell upon the roof of a building some distance away, and broke through several large pieces of timber, filling the minds of the people near by with terror and dismay. Herschel tells ns that four Instances are re corded of persons being killed by the fall of these bodies. In the year 463 B. C, a mete oric stone fell at Ecos, Patmos, as large as two millstones ; and anotherfell In the river st Narnl, in the year 621, which was of such size that It projected like a huge rock four feet above the surface of the water. These, however, are small in comparison with the immense masses that have been found in more recent, times. In 1788, avast body of meteori! Iron weighing nearly thirteen tons was discovered half buried in the earth on the great plain near Buenos Ayres, In South America. IIow long it had lain there was unknown. A stupendous aerolite weighing twenty-five tons was found on the west coast of Greenland, by a Swedish expedition to the Tolar regions, and a fragment taken to the Royal Academy of Stockholm. The Mu seum of the Jardin des Plantes, at Taris, contains among other scientific curiosities an Iron meteor weighing twelve hundred pounds. It was found at Ia Callle, in 1828 Tbe British Museum has an aerolite weigh ing over four tons, found a few years since near Melbourne, Australia. It Is said to be the largest meteoric mass possessed by any scientific Institution. TTere, also, may be seen a fragment of the famous Otumpa, ae rolite, weighing fonrteen hundred pounds, found In South America, In;i784. The entire mass from which it was taken was estimated to weigh over sixteen tons. A wonderful meteor, estimated by some to be half a mile in diameter, passed over the whole of Europe, from Shetland to Rome, on the 18t,h of August, 1783. Its altitude was thought to be about fifty miles above the earth's surface, and its velocity thirty miles a second. Its light far exceeded that of the full moon ; and as it was very brilliant ob servers might easily have been deceived In regard to the magnitude of the actual body. Notwithstanding Its great size, its form was observed to change as it passed rapidly along and dividing quietly into several separate bodies, each flew on in parallel courses, fol lowed by long trails of silvery light routes are generally of a pyramidal form, and coated with a melted shining sub stance of a dark color, somewhat resembling the glazing of half-melted brick. They are different from any known natural composi tion of the earth, and usually contain con siderable iron and nickel. Shooting stars appear entirely different from the class of meteors we have been describing, being much less brilliant, and never heard to explode. But this may be all on account of their great distance. They can occasionally be seen during almost any clear night, but are com monly more abundant In August and No vember. The most remarkable meteoric dis- plav on record was the celebrated shower of stars of the 13th of November, 183S. Some of your older readers may well remember it All the stars in the blue concave of heaven seemed falling. Millions of fire-balls and streaks of light darted downward, almost as thick as snow-flakes in a snow-storm. Thoo sands arose from their beds to witness the most magnificent display of Nature's fire works ever beheld by man. The commenced about two o'clock in the morning, and con tinned until the superior light of the rising sun renoerea them invisible. Manv natn rally timid and nervous persons who had never heard of sach a thing before believed the Judgment day was at band, and God was raining fire from heaven to burn np the worm, intelligent people looked upon the wondrous phenomenon with awe anal amaze ment, while the frightened in some instances huddled together, trembling with fear, ex pecting every moment to see the heavens part and roll away, and to hear the sonnd of the Archangel's trump calling the dead to judgment But the morning came as usual and when the evening came again the phe nomenon had passed away. Scores of differ ent theories were advanced by different sci entists to account for it. most of which were but mere speculations, devoid of actual proof. Some supposed they were electric sparks ; and the dampness of the atmosphere aissipatea them before they reached the ground. Others thought the tarth was pass- mruuKn ine tan or trie comet : and file tion of the atmosphere aided In producing the phenomenon ; while another theory was tnai mere was a vast concourse of meteors passing around the sun in a regular orbit which crossed the track of the earth at a certain point and when they happen to cross near together, which occurs once In about thirty-three years, a shower of stars Is the result Similar showers have occurred in 179f), 1S23, and 1866. The larger meteors are sometimes seen in the daytime. A few years since. I saw a very brilliant one, when the sun was shinints brightly. It was a beautiful morning in Au gust and not a cloud was visible. The sun was about a quarter of an hour above thA horizon not a breath of air was stirring. All at once I became sensible that a new blaze of light, which appeared tn Ka In r i - -v. -" ... uiubiuu, was shining. Turning my gaze to the north. beheld a dazzling meteor reseniblinif a bright ball of flame, In appearance nearlv one-third as large as the sun, moving rapidly in a southeast direction. It glowed like a furnace ; and showers of snarfea Absw frm It in profusion, while a long trail of vapory light marked Its pathway. It was about twenty-five degrees above the northern hori con when I first saw It, and when It had reached point nearly in the direction of the sun from my place of observation, It burst to fragments. I beaid no sound of an ex plosion, though the smoke was plainly visi ble for a quarter of an hour. About the middle of the forenoon of the 15th of November, 1859, a very vivid fire-ball suddenly made its appearance over southern New Jersey; though at the time the sun was sending forth Its brilliant rays from an un clouded sky. It seemed to fall almost direct ly downward ; and the flash was witnessed by hundreds of people, from Massachusetts to Virginia. A lerrlflo explosion ensued, as thongh a thousand cannon bad been dis charged In concert. The solid earth seemed to tremble, and as the waves of the mighty sound rolled away In the distance, nervous and superstitious mortals who happened to live near the spot where the explosion took place, thanked God that the world still sur vived. Teople at a distance who haerd the rumbling Jar, but did not observe the flash, listened with fear and apprehension, believ ing It to be the shock of an earthquake. A column of smoke several miles In length and a thousand feet In diameter floated In the atmosphere for a considerable time. The velocity or this meteor was over twenty miles a second. The Ignorant and superstitious In all ages have ever looked upon those mysterious bodies with fear and alarm ; believing them to be forrunners or warnings of pestilence, famine, war, and dire calamity. Thus the great meteor of 1860, witnessed by thousands over a large extent of country, was declared to be the precursor of the great civil war that followed. Strange that people of tbls enlightened age should look npon the works of Nature In this light They are but the agents of the Almighty Creator, performing their destined parts In accordance with his holy will ; and how do we know but that In stead of being messengers of divine wrath they may be replacing worn-out and exhaust ed Ingredients of the earth, or renovating and cleansing the atmosphere, and thas ren dering the earth healthy and productive, or the air we breath pure and invigorating. In stead of bringing disease and destruction, they may. for aught we know, be the means of promoting health, sustaining life, and saving the world from calamity. At any rate there is no probable cause for alarm, and why should we fear when we are as sured that the wondrous works of Nature are ever guided by Him whodoeth all things well. SILKSTTOR FORTY TEARS. A DELAWARE COUNTY FAMILY fl 6TRAS0H BEHAVIOR. A roost singular tale of domestic Infelicity, extending over a period of forty years, comes from Media, Delaware county. On the Pro vidence road, a mile and a-half from this pretty little town, near the Rose Tree Hotel lives Mrs. Isaac Tarnall, whose husband for forty years prior to his demise, which occur ed a few years ago, never addressed a word to his wife. The latter did likewise, though both lived under the same roof during all those years. Old I?aae Tarnall first settled where his wife and family are now located fully a half century ago. Mrs. Tarnall, who is now 94 years of age, is spoken of as being a quiet, kind and clever neighbor, though extraordinarily headstrong. This character istic, it Is said, was the principal feature In the composition of her husband, who other wise bore the reputation of being a fair square man. This same stubbornness wa8 not alone confined to the parents, for the three daugh ters and two eons were also imbued with It to a remarkable degree, The only children living are the daughters, not one ot whom has exchanged a word with one another for years, though they too dwell together with the mother in the commodious, antiquated farm house near the Rose Tree Inn. These peculiarities of the family are known to all the farmers for miles around. What at first appeared surprising and inexplicable has be come so commonplace that the strange do ings of the Tarnalls have long ceased to be subject of comment among the country folk of the section. Isaac Tarnall was an Indus trious and thrifty tiller of the soil. He plod ded along diligently and saved his hard earned dollars until he amassed sufficient to purchase a hundred-acre farm. This he worked until his death, and by judicious In vestments managed to leave behind him the snug sum of SZS.OOO, on which the family are now living. The trouble between himself and wife was brought about in this way: Mis. Tarnall was bequeathed a small sum of money by a relative, which her husband desired to use In purchasing farming implements and other wise improving the propertv. His better half said no. Isaac vowed that unless he was given the money he would never speak another word to her. True to his tow he steadfastly refrained from speaking for for ty long years, ine daughters who were nothing but mere than children when this falling out occurred, tried to get the father and mother to make up, but failed. Reared under euch surroundings It Is not surprising that when the girls grew to wo manhood they should take sides with their disagreeing parents. One upheld the father, another the mother, while the third, after vainly trying to bring abont a harmonious feeling between all bands, became disheart ened and gave np the task. The daughters have, since they quarreled, always Ignored each other's presence. At the father's fu neral a carriage was provided for the girls to convey them to the cemetery.. When the funeral cortege was leaving the house the girls found they were expected to ride to gether. They at first refused, but persistent coaxing and the fear of creating a scene suf ficed to induce them to stifle their repugnant feelings for the time being, and the daugh ters rode off together. A stranger visiting the Tarnall's would fail to discover at the first any family differences. The old lady and the three daughters address the conver sation entirely to the visitor and wait patient ly until each question Is answered before propounding another. When alone they eat together, but never speak, and move about the bouse utterly oblivious of each other's presence, Philadelphia Record. Coksul Catlin was driving out a short time ago in the suburbs of Stuttgart, Ger many, and as he passed a carriage contain ing one of the royal family he bowed with so much elegance and grace that he received In reply a winning smile from the leading lady. Then turning to his friend on the left he re marsed.with characteristic pungency, "You ee the right bower always takes the queen." Being a worthy representative of this great country, he spoke by the card. THE DOUBLE RESCUE. "A dreadful night O, a dreadful night 1" murmnred the young wife with a shudder, as screening the pane with her hand from the bright firelight she attempted, but In vain, to penetrate the storm and darkness without -God grant he may be near," and with this heartfelt petition she turned from the window, seated herself and took up her knitting. Cheerful, homelike was the aspect ot that humble apartment Near the fire, whose brisk blaze filled the room with a ruddy glow, sang the waiting tea-kettle ; while a neatly spread supper table occupied the cen tre of the floor. Slowly and distinctly the tall clock at the back part of the room told the hour of eight The young woman pnt aside her task, and once more went to the window. The tem pest had not In the least abated, but raged with the fury of a thousand uncaged lions, and seemed still increasing. Fearful indeed was that evening's elemental warfare over that bleak Canadian plain I "Yet he comes not my husband. Merci ful Heaven befriend me I" Tears gathered In the eyes of the gentle, devoted wife, Then Hope repeated ber whisperings, and in Imagination the young wife beheld the stur dy form of her beloved nobly breasting the storm, aud step by step nearing his home In safety. Already she seemed pouring for him the fragrant, steaming beverage, and listened to his expressions of thankfulness for surrounding blessings. About noon of that day he had left home on foot Intending to transact business In a village five miles distant and return by nightfall. At that time no signs of an Immediate storm were apparent but as the day drew near Its ( close the clouds began to gather thick and heavy, and the snow to fall In huge, feathery flakes. Faster and faster It descended, till all the air seemed filled by one mighty avalanche. Three hours bad passed, and the storm-god in all his terrible fury was yet abroad. At length calmness could be maintained by the waiting wife no longer. Hope and trust had died within her bosom. Vainly did she endeavor to persuade her self into the belief that the fierceness of the storm had prevented ber husband from leav ing the village she would not be deceived. He would never voluntarily abandon her thus to loneliness and awful uncertainty. No, the assurance was all too undoubted, that the cold and the tempest had overpow ered him on his way, and be had sunk amid the drifting snows to perish. Suddenly she paussd, while every feature speaks desperate resolve. See, she hurried ly envelopes herself in cloak and hood, and now with firm steps moves toward the door. Upon what is she determined? Surely she will not expose that frail form to the strife that rages without I But yes; she lifts the latch, and uncloses the door. On the instant a furious rnt drove a portion of the snow, which had ac cumulated against the panels, to the oppo site side of the room. Unable to compete witn iu rage, the agonized wife shrank back. and applying her whole btrength to the door forced it again to IU place, between herself and the rough element without She waited but a moment, however ; the next she had rushed forth, closed the door behind her, and was plunging wildly down tne snow-filled path. The storm was over, the clouds were be ginning to break, and let down the rays of the moon, whose broad dice had Just risen above the horizon. But while the snow had ceased to fall, the cold had grown more In tense, and the wrath of the wind was noth ing spent Onward tolled the solitary female throutrh the blinding, suffocating snow, which was constantly being burled against her; and ever and anon a blast, fiercer than the oth ers, compelled her to halt for a moment and bury ber face in the folds of her cloak. It was a dreary waste over which she had w pass ; do coiiage winaow sent forth a cheering gleam ; only a snow-covered plain and barren trees In the distance could be seen. And now, when nearly a mile lav between her and home, the wife felt herself exhaust ed and benumbed by cold to a degree that she could proceed no further. The sharp winds pierced her garments as if they had neen out a robe of muslin, and put to the torture every fibre of her frame, ner limbs refused longer to obey her will, her breath was gone, her very heart's blood eeemed turned to ice. She tottered, and fell, and the same blast that bore her down wrapped ner in a shroud of snow. But exerting herself to the utmost, she rose to her feet again, for her last glance had rested on a dark object a short distance in advance, ar.d the possibility of it being him she sought nerved ber to make one more ef fort Fixing her eyes upon the object which had attracted her atteutioo, she struggled forward, and reached it Just as her last rem rant of strength was expended. It was indeed her husband I He had con tended with the elements, until chilled, wearied, and almost breathless, he had sunk down in the path In order to recover himself for a further effort. No thought of perish ing had passed the strong man's mind ; but no sooner did muscular action cease than the lethargy which, but for timely breaking, would have ended in death, was upon him. All sense of suffering fled, gay colors floated before bis sight, and the sound of the angry blast eeemed sweetest music. How long he had remained thus be knew not, when suddenly the voice of his wife ex- claimed, "Thank God, we die together I" sounded faintly in his ears ; and the same instant be felt her prostrate form and encir cling arms. These quickly aroused them to a sense of their situation, and that sense warmed the congealing life-current Kid sent it lightning-like through its channels. The knowledge of the danger the certain death to which his idolized companion was exposed, and from which he alone could save her, at once raised him above the power of fatigue and cold. Starting to his feet be folded her insensible form to hU bosom and bore it toward their home, as if she bad been the merest infant The blast to him was but a zephyr, the snowdrifts but unresisting air. He paused not until the cottage was reached, where the wife was presently restored to animation, and both to happiness. Each bad saved the other from a fearful death. Health is Wealth.

Mrs. Mary Cooper, a young woman who lives on the Summerton pike, In the Twenty third ward, a few rods from the Bust let on school-bouse, has suddenly recovered her speech, having been struck dumb by fright for two weeks. Mrs. Cooper was able yes terday to relate the particulars of the strange occurrence and ber Impressions during the time she remained speechless. She says that on Friday, the 1st day of September, a man in a terrible condition of drunkenness and suffering from violent ma nia a potu, ran into ber house, followed by a mob of men and boys. She Is subject to fits of hysteria, and tbe drunken man frightened bei so badly that she fell down ln a spasm, and thinks that some person In the excite ment of the chase stepped on her neck. At any rate, when she was restored to con sciousness she was horrified to find that she could not speak a word ln fact that she had been stricken as dumb as if her tongue bad been torn from her mouth. After the first day all of the nervousness consequent upon the spasm disappeared, and she was quite as well as usual and able to attend to her usual duties about the house, but every effort she made to epeak caused violent pains in her throat and about the roots of her tongue. She finally came to the conclusion that she would never be able to talk again, although Dr. Byers, a prominent physician of Bustle ton, was attending her and told her that he hoped that h-sr affliction would be but tem porary. Day after day passed, however, and, although she could hear perfectly well, and seemed to be if possible in better health than usual.every effort to articulate a syllable was In vain. At times she would find Ikt- self involuntarily trying to speak, but only a Jumbled gutteral sound followed. Whenev er she made an attempt to utter a word or make a sound violent pains In ber lungs and throat and in the back of ber neck followed, until finally she determined to make no more efforts. A great many curious people came to see her, and some people supposed that she was "putting it all on." She at last re fused to see any one, and settled down to the bitter conclusion that she would never recover her lost voice, and even began to learn the dumb alphabet in order to convey her wishes to ber sister, who lived with ber. In the meantime she nsed such signs asuug gested themselve to ber. Dr. Byers came to see her occasionally and gave her a prescrip tion, which did not at first seem to relieve ber, but she thinks now that It eased the pain In her throat. She describes her efforts to speak as like a person 6lck with pleurisy when he desired to take a long breath. At night she would be aroused from sleep by pains in her throat due to involuntary ef forts to speak while she was dreaming, ner Bister thus describes what happeend when Mrs. Cooper first spoke : "My sister had gone to bed at about nine o'clock in tbe ev ening, and at 10 o'clock I went upstairs my self. We sleep together, and when I first went In tbe room there was no light there, and I could hear my sister breathing heavily, as if in a nightmare. I did not at once dis- turb ber, but removed my clothing. 1 then aroused my sister in order to break what 1 thought was a bad dream, and she awoke with a start I said : 'Mary, what's the mat ter ?' I could not see much in the room at the time, and was frightened almost out of my senses by bearing some one exclaim in a deep voice : 'You get In bed." I thought it was a man under the bed. and ran down stairs screaming 'thieves!' What 1 had heard did not sound like my sister's voice, and having become accustomed to consider ber dumb. I was terribly frightened. In a moment, however, I saw my sistei's head at the stair door and she was trying to speak. Finally, with an effort, 6he said : 'It was I. I can now talk. 1 could hardly believe It" At this point Mrs. Cooper took up the thread of the story. Sbe said that when she had been aroused by ber sister sbe did not think about her affliction; she was about half asleep, and Involuntarily spoke. "It was," she said, "almost like tearing my throat to pieces when tbe sound came. There was a sensation like needles being stuck Into my chest and lungs, and the pain was terrible. Arter the first shock I felt re lieved and found that I could talk a little, although the effort still caused me some pain.' Gradually the pain subsided, and now Mrs. Cooper talks quite freely, but still with con siderable difficulty. She will occasionally stop in the middle of a sentence, or of a word, and take a long breath. Dr. Byers, who attended the woman, says that the circumstances surrounding the case are very peculiar, but that instances of peo ple suddenly losing their voice and their hearing are on record, although they are few. He attributes Mrs. Cooper's trouble to partial paralysis of tbe vocal organs. He fully substantiated Mrs. Cooper's story. The people about Bustleton have been exci ted for some time over the singular cae, but every one gives Mrs. Cooper's story full cre dence. She is a good-looking woman, slight ly built and is known to be industrious and thorougly reliable. Philadelphia P'cord, 7th. Rvm the Master. The terrible power which the appetite for intoxicants has over its slaves is vividly illustrated In the follow ing incident : One wintry afternoon a trembHnr man en tered a tavern in ew Hampshire, carrying a small package of clothing. Going to the Dar ne said : " Landlord. I am burning. Give me good glass of gin." " John, you see the old score not another drop until that is paid." " Landlord, you don't mean that Ton nave got my farm, you have cot mv horses. you have got my tools. All I have got in the worm is mis nine ounaie or clothes. 1 'lea so tanaiora, give me ror mem one glAs 01 gin. " 1 don't want your old clothes." answer. ed the man.

Will you give me the boots for ten cents ?" The miserable wretch hesitated for a mo ment then said : "Stranger, if I give you the boot. T mn.i go ont in the snow barefooted.

This may be the very best opportunity you will ever have to behold such an aggregation ot animals. Some of them were very wild, but they are taming up gradually and are positively safenow. This is their first eaon onexblbitlonln any collection. There, for Instance, picking b!j tooth with a ten-foot pole, Is the great unique, terrible, wild, uncontrolable Stewart Glasthcutus convolvovus. He has hair all over him and horns all over his back. He eats firebrands and sleeps on live coals, ne Is very tall and has a large, muscular grip, ne has tbews of iron, head of India rubber, cheeksof aolld brass, thighs of copper and feet set on ex actly in the middle so that he can iun both ways with equal facility, lie can kick a hole through the uioon. He !s a kicker. So. roll up, tumble up, ary way at all, so yon get up I Remember this may be the la-t opportunity and that this gn at l:ow can al be seen for a single price.
