Once upon a time there was a fuir
young maiden, whose name was Ma
ry, although thoy called her Moll,
for short 8ho wasn't a talL dork-
eyed raaidon, with clear, transparent
bkin, and lips like' cherries, and
cheeks smTuBed with blushes. She
didn't have glossy hair, swopping
back in wavy tresses from her queen
ly brow, and hur fooe wasn't bit like
llobe's. No. there was none of those
tliingf 1 on the contrary, she wis
abort, and thin, and hod red hair and
freckles, and fiho also sported snag
gle teeth and woro pads but still she
was a right nice giil, and there fell
in love with hor one whoso nams was
"iilL bis friends called him William
hon they wantod to hurt bin feelings,
r be didu't like it much, He wasn't
ie looking, and had neither curly
Uwnhiur nor a mustache. Not
nih. Bill laid himsulf out on the
soi lock, and wore a goatee that
lis tod twioe a week,
ry this Bilh he was in lore With
l!.4)tit ha did not go and moke a

seizo hor jeweled hand, and breathe
his deep affliction in tho tun Jor o-
conts of fond attachment, and swear
'by yon bright orb abore uc, always
to be Uiino." Did ho, I any t You
can bat ho did'nt. Tott can lay out
your whole revonno mMj on that.
William knew too mncU nlwut the
prico of pants to go flopping around
on tho wet grans with his good
clothoe on 1 bf sides, he novor cored
anything about streamlets or any
kind of cold water, except to mix
with his gin. No sir, it was exceed
ingly strange, but this infutuntod
William met her at the alloy gato,
ond there stood right up on his logs
and saj g
"Say Moll; old gal, s'poscn wo get
hitched V
But how did Mary bolmro Y Did
she go dropping to alt-op on tho
bricks in a dead faint, or did alio hide
her gentle baud on hia shirt bosom
to conceal her blushoa t No, sho
didn't, and she didn't say, "I am
ever thino, my .own lovo, dear Will
iam 1" Oh, my, no. Sho lookod right
into his yellow oyea and s.tys
"I'm in Willy 1 I'm tho gal for these
sort of things. Go in I"
And instead of referring him to
her father, sho only said,
"Won't tho old mnn bust right
out when you tell him T Ha ! ha!"
and she laughed.
But sho didu't ask William to try
to molify her fond father. No, no.
Sho very wickedly advised him to
"poke tho old gentleman in tho noso
if ho gavo him any of hiH lip." Sho
wan a funny girl, this Mary.
Now, tho old man wasn't wealthy,
for he sold soap fat for a living, uud
so ho didn't think Bill was nosing
around for his stamps 1 so, when
Bill asked him, ho neither ordored
him fiercely away, nor did tho dowy
moistiiro gather in his eaglo oyo as
ho passud his he lu-stltehod up thoro
and said. "Jiless you my children,
bless you I" ()1, no, nothing of tho
h ort. Ho just blew his red noso with
his bandanna and told Bill to tako
her along, for ho was glad to get rid
of hur, ho wns, and William would bo
the Htimo mighty soon, for she nub
awfid rough on victuals, and always
broke plates when sho got mad.
Ho you see thoro really was no ne
cessity for William to coino at mid
night's solemn hour,, in a rah, and
throw a rope ladder up to tho win
dow, and whistlo three times on bis
lingers, und thru go up hand, and
bring her down in ono hand and her
trunk in tho other, and a bandbox
and umbrella uudor each arm, and a
whole lot of bundles, and then get
into tho cab, nnd lly to some distant
shore That's the way it would have
been in a novel 1 but Bill said he
wasn't ou that lay, so ho just went
out into tho yard, uud out of pure
joy bo skinned tho cat throe or four
times on tho grape vino orbor, and
then went and got his butcher cart,
and drovo her right down to tho
magistrate, to get tho job douo for a
quarter for he said ho was somo on
the low price, ho was.
But tho very queerest thing of all
was that Bill had no tall, dark ruf
fianly rival with a slowling visage
and black whiskers, who flow at him
with drawn dagger and a horso pis
tol in each hand, and a muttered
curse upon his lips, and cried wildly
for ''Revenge I Hal ha! and said
"Death 11 and "Villain, thou diest!"
Not any. Thore was another fellow
in lovo with Mollio, to bo sure, but
he was a weak-eyed young who who
bad Sandy bair aod wore epeciuoles
sod a cboko collar, and always look
ed scare J wben you hollered at him.
So, wben be saw that Bill had the
best of tbe girl's atToctions, ho looked
all serene, and said, "(Jo in Billy, if
you haukor for ;' aod as Billy was
some on tbe baokor, be sailed rlgbt
io.
So William you boo, bad no trou
ble at all and you couldn't get up
sn agonising novel about bim if you
tried. He did't have nay urgent ba
siness that oalled. blm to a foreign
land, and so bo bad to bid ber a fond
good-by, aod swear always to be truo.
and then go away and forget ber nod
Tall in love with a dark-eyed Italian
girl, pieking grapos, ia a vineyard,
with a sqnttra towel folded on ber
head, while this forvotton and forsa
kuo Mary gradually faded and pined
uwny, aud ' bufllud tbe physician'
skill, aod grew paler aod at lust wben
tbe June roaes were io bloom, lyiog
geotly down to die, while through tbe
open wiudow floated ia tbe balmy
odor of leosamiao and boueysuokle
And William did borne home at last,
sod, filled with , doatblew romorse
-a dally to tha-" sweet cemetery,
. : i strew flowers oa tbs grave and
- 1 his children to II1"? ber earns
at H. Tbat is Us wv Mr.
sod shiny hat, and he e'aiJ at h une
lo kill teol and sold it at a lngli price
aod stuck to Mary, she kept bealibr
and wasn't much on lbs pi no and
fado, if any ol the fellows go to lurk
inp around, William wont out and
batted them io tho rye. Ha did.
And then, at Inst, when all wia
over, Mary diJo't ait in tho room
while thoy dreel her io while, an I
mixed orange blossoms in hor cbiir
non, and then go eently down stairs
with six hridcBtuaid at Ivr Itril-t, and
then otonl up with Willi tm, and
weep gently wbilo he wit hidtt innr
riod by the minister, an I then trot
lots of presents, and go 10 h'-r new
houfio and live thrniitth all tho happy
yean with Billy, and never knew r
row or trouble any moro. Why, ol
coimo, she didu't, fur it wasn't her
style, you sto.
Sbe just ruhcd up slain and put on
ber pink mulin and hi t el I sun bon
net, and nary bridosmai'l, and went
to tho magistrate's and never wept n
particle, und got no presents, hut fif
teen cents from the ell man to p.-iy
ber car fare homo, and when slio got
to the mnistrute's she just rote up
oIT tbe beucli and told liill sbe uidn l
sco much uh iu spltcinif, nnd that
sho didn't Itko him, any how ; and so
sho went home and Bill he wool with
her, and told Iter lie wasn't sorry at
be didn't want bur and ho guessed
t-lio wns hard ou hur clothes, any
bow, nnd bo thoy never got imirried,
and tho whole thing turned out
wrong; but I Couldn't help it ; for 1
nio't going to put f'uett on record t hut
uiu't ho. But it ain't a like nuy no
vel that I ever read, so thoro luest
have been something strange about
this fellow nnd Mollis Ihut I never
could find outso I'll buvo to lot it
slide at Ibis.

On l:ist Siiturday, between two and
three o'clock, .Major John B Stew

to keep quiet, he proceeded at ou.ee to

Tbe uews spreul like Wild fire over

Kuisli for tho condition uf tho utifortu

a horrible mas would have been

tie bad lain thoro from Friday
evcuioglute until Sulurduy eveniug
about 6 o'clock, a period of nearly
twenty-four hours. Hi anxieties
and eurTeringa were intense no doubt.
Ilia feci were twolleo, lacerated und
blistered by the hot rocks ; tho sun
poured upoo bim its fiercest rays, cau
sing tho most excruciating thirst and
producing almost entire blindness.
Death seemed lo stare bim In tbe

afraid to move to the right or to the

was beneath him. Without sucoor
be must die a lingering, torturing
dflfttb of thirst and starvation.
In adjusting the rope several rocks

Charles Weston, todcr iu tho bunk.
I'hi) tneu gained entrance to Die
house by using a bidder, whjoti they
brought, from un itber building, some
forty rods distant. Hy this tuey en
tered an open window in the 8 -eon I
story, uud ongli tuember of th family
was hci.ed uud overmastered at the
name- instant.
Having thus secured silence in the
house, the men took young Weston
to the bank, which is located in Tut'
block, about forty rods from tho rcsi.
deuce of Mr. I Icy wood. Hero th"
compelled bim, by threats of torture
und death, to open the vault. A lamp
it always left lighted ut night in tho
banking room, tin ! the operators al
lowed ihit to reiiitiiu burning. While
three men remained outside with
Weston, the fourth went into the
vault und took pnssussiou uf nil the
vutuabh's there deposited, which for
tunately did not atuouut to a very
great amount. They secured ? Id.otl ),
iu cutrcul funds, which is u greater
sum than it usually kept iu the bank ;
but, it being pay day at tho mtlU In
the town, the mouey hud boeu bruu't
for that purpose. Thoro wore no
notes, bon Jt or other valuables iu the
vault.
Having plundered tito vault, the
men took Weston bsck to the resi
dence of Mr, yeywood, und bound
him securely, and after inspecting all
the prisoners und finding tbeut se
curely hound ond gigged, they iulcrin
ed tbom that two of the party would

All that wo cat or drink passcH
over the top of tho windpipe without
a particlo entering it, although tho
opening is largor thou a dime, bo
enuso tho very act of swallowing
drows over tho open top of it a fleshy
trap door, which fits so closely that
not even a partielo of air can paes t
hut. nt the inwtntit of swallowing it
opens up with a spring, nnd wo go
on breathing ns if nothing had hap
pened. But if wo attempt to swal
low anything too .largo, this trap
dior, being at the narrowest part of
the pxssago, is kept closed, not a par
tielo of air can enter tho lungs, nud

If yeu ch i w a piece of dried beef
firm une time, there will bo a wbito
remnant left which thoro is no iueli
natii m to swallow. If it bo taken
and picked npurt it will appear to bo
niiido of little strings, tough and
Htrmig. Theso wero attached to tho
moro lli'sli liko parts which wero
chewed and swallowed.
If, in eating, a man has a sharp
knife, and cuts his meat wholly iu
two, he may put two or three of those
pieces iu his mouth, nnd chew and
swallow without danger 1 but if tho
knifo is dull, nnd does not divide tho
picvH wholly, two pieces may bo
tied together with one of these littlo
strings, and while you bavo swallow
ed one part nearest tho swallow tho
other limy be near tho teeth, and both
held by tho string, which, holding tho
two parts together, and hanging
across tho trnp-door, prevents its
opening, nnd death follows in an in
Kt:int. Hence, tho practical vtduo of
shtirp knives uttho dinner table.
A long hair in a mouthful of food
may so entangle it, in the act of
swallowing, us to cause a chouking to
death. This is what is meant by be
ing "strangled by a hair." String
beans may occasion n chokiug to)
death in tho B.tmo way, if not careful
ly strung. Heneo all food should bo
cut fine should bo taken into tho
mouth in small pieces, chmved thor
oughly, and swallowed deliberately.
Most rea-leru liavo suffered con.
siderublo inconvouieiico from some
thing "going tho wrong way." This
is occasioned by a single drop of wa
ter or atom of solid food, a crumb or
other thing, slipping into tho wind- "
pipe or falling down to tho lungs,
causing an instantaneous, spiteful,
imgry.lry cough it in becauso na
ture wits alarmed by an unnatural
nud unwelcome visitor, und takes this
hor only means of ejecting tho intruder-
If tho particles are largo or

A person cannot laugh or siwak a
word unless the top of the windpipe
is uncovered 1 but if a laugh is pro
voked or a word attempted to be
spoken while in the act of swallow
ing, aud just before the particle has
fully pussud the trap-door, it is raw
ed a littlo, a drop or crumb falls into
it, aud heneo the mischief. In ea
