An Extraordinary Story.
A very strange story was told to me
the other day, says a London; corre
spondent of the Graphic. In a town
not far from London there lived a
young lady who was handsome, toler
ably wealthy, and more than usually
well educated. Her father was nn In
vailed; her molher wasun Insipid, cold,
and heartless woman. Two yeais ago
a physician of London was called to at
tend the father; In this way tho young
lady saw him. He paid no attenllon to
her bis mind was engrossed with his
professional duties. A few weeks ago
this doctor, after paying a visit to his
patient, was sotnowhat surprised by be
ing asked by the young lady to give her
the favor of a private Interview. Sim
took him Into a drawing-room and let
him to tbo further end of tho apart
ment. "Doctor," nha eaid, "I sup
pose that gentlemen of your profession
are accustomed to receive strange confi
dences. I have a confession to make to
you." He supposed that the Impend
ing confession bad something to do with
the state of herown health or with that
of her father, nnd bo begged her to
proceed. "You will, however, be
scarcely prepared for what I am about
to say," she continued. "But I wish
you to bear It. It Is now just two years
since I first saw you. You bad scarce
ly ever exchauged n word with me, but
I have learned much about you. I am
not mistaken In believlug that you are
unmarried?"
"No," said he, "I am not married."
"And your affections are not engaged?"
"You scarcely have the right to
that," said he.
"Well, then," she replied, "I
ask
will
my
my
not ask It, but I must make to you
confession. I lovo you with all
heart. I wish you to marry me,
I
loved you from the first moment I saw
you. I said to myself, I will wait for
two yers if ho then speaks to me I
will know what to say. You have not
spoken; and now I speak, I say I love
you with all my beait; you are neces
sary for me; will you marry me?"
Tib doctor, who, although not a very
old man, was twice tbo age ot tho
young lady, recovering little from his
surprise, tried to turn the matter off as
a Joke; but tho young lady was very
serious,
"No,, said she, "I am In very sober
earn st. I know all that you may say
or think as to the Indelicacy ot my pro
posal, but I cannot help It. I ask you
once more, can you love me, and will
you marry me?"
"In sober earnest, theu," he replied,
"I cannot marry you."
"Theu I shall die," said sbo, veiy
calmly, and she left the room,
The doctor bad heard people say be
fore that they should die, and bo left
die bouse without attaching much im
portance to the prophecy, although
wouderlng greatly at the other portion
of this Intertlew,
A few days after this the youug lady
was found dead In her bed. Tho let.
lets laid upon her diesslnc-lablr, Onu
was addressed to her family solicitor.
It recalled to bis mind n promise be hod
made her. Sho had gouo to seo him,
nnd had asked him tn make out for her
a paper tnnsfcrrlng the whnlo of her
property to a person whoso namo sho
would not then give him. Ho was to
prepare tho necessary paper and send It
to her to fill up thu blanks and to sign.
She had done tbU, nnd she now enclos
ed the paper, filled up and signed. Ev
ery penny of her property was given to
thu doctor, and tho solicitor was In
structed to make the transfer to hlra, to
ask no questions, nnd to take do re
ceipt. The other letter was to tho doc
tor. "I told you I should die," said
she, "and when you receive this I shall
be dead. For ten days I havo taken
no food nor no drink; but It does not
kill me, and now I have taken poison.
I have no reproach to make to you, but
I could not live wi'.hout your love.
When I am dead, look at my heart.
You will see your name there. I havo
two requests to make of you. Go to my
solicitor and take what ho has for you,
and then go of! on a holiday to Italy
for a few months. The other request
is that you never asi where I am buri
ed, and never come to my grave."
There was a post-mortem examina
tion made ot tho young lady's body. On
her breast, over her heart, deeply Im
pi Inted In t he tlesh, were the Initial s of the
doctor's name. The characters seemed

German Ocean Onco Dry
Iand.
The German Ocean, ot JVbrth Sen,
like the English Channel was once an
Inland plalu or valley raise 1 far above
thy sea-level. The tea has but receutly
Invaded this depressed plain, submerg
ed Its forests, and superseded Its river
courses. The burled trees of Its .sunk
foiests are standing rooted In their own
vegetable soil, although beneath tho
waves. Cromer Forest, which dips In
to the waters from tho oast of Norfolk,
Is the most famous ot tho submurged
forests of the German Ocean.' This an
cient woodland bas been traced at low
tide for more than forty miles. At cer
tain seasons, and especially after great
storms, the stumps of oak, alder, yew,
and Scotch fir aro seen standing upright
lu the water. Tho condition of tho
wood and of the fir-cones (some of t'io
latter oblvlouily bitten by animals) tell
us that the slaking of tbe land hero oc
curred at no distant period in tho phy
sical hlstory-or our country. The re
mains of land animals, too, as well as
of tbe forests they Inhabited, aro dis
covered In the bd of tbo German
Ocean. In his "Physical Geography of
Norfolk," Mr. Woodward tells us that
In less tlian fifteen years the fishermen
of tho village of napplsburgh dredged
up from their oyster-beds as many as
two thousand teeth of mammoths.
Bonei and tusks of mammoths hava al
so been fished up from these watery
depths. It takes us back to the time
when the European malnhnd, Instead
of terminating, as It does to-day, with
the coasts of JTurway and France,
gtretced far westward In one unbroken
area, beyond the present coast of Ire
lanJ. These were tho flourishing days
ot the forests ot oak, chestnut, alder,
and yew, which are now submurged In
thi German Ocean and the English
Channel. Leisure Hour.
TIioSAko of Coal.
In one ot the old mines In the Upper
Hartz the Dorothea Jfine, near Ciaus
thal some of tho wood originally em
ployed as timbering has become so far
altered as to assume most of the char
acters of a true lignite, or brown coal.
It appears that certain of the levels In
the ancient workings of this mloo are
filled with refuse matter, consisting
chiefly or fragments of clay-slate, more
or less saturated with mine water, and
containing litre and there fragments of
the old timbering. This wood, when
In tbe mine, is wet, and ot a leathery
consistence, but on exposure to the air
It rapidly hardens to a solid substance-,
having most, If not all, tbe characters
of a ti ue lignite. It breaks with a well
marked coucholdal fracture, and the
parts which aro most altered present
the black lustrous appearance charac
teristic of the German "pitch coals."
At the same time, chemical examina
tion of tho altered wood shows that It
stands actually nearer to true cost tbau
dusoiae ot the younger tertiary lignites.
This lustancuseems, therefon,to proro
that pine-wood, when placed uuder
highly favorable conditions, uay bo
converted Into a genuine lignite within
a period which, from what wa know of
the history ot mining In tbe Uarti, can
not hava extended beyond four cen
turies. Loudon AtbeDCStiui.
