the poor niece, MeU i angdou, but
not picking blackberries. She whs
sitting on a mossy log among the
bushes, crying as ii ber heart would
break. It did her good i it cooled
the fierce fever in ber heart and she
finally grew quiet and slipped softly
down on ber knees and prayed long
and earnestly for patience and wis
dom and help from her heavenly
Father. Then she caught up her
pail and rose to commence ber task.
But it so happened that Doctor
Cheater, who was spending a few
week a in that delightful country
place, was hunting that day. A fine
! plump partride flew up from the
bodies just at that moment and the
doctor fired. To his astonishment
the bird escaped, but a shrill scream
and heavy fall, beyond the bushes
made bim throw down bis gun and
bag and rush furiously through the
sharp briars, never minding the rents
they made in his fine hunting suit or
the cruel scratches npon his face and
bauds.
There lay tbr game he had brought
down, in the shape of a young girl
who waa iu a dead faint or killed for
aught be knew. He quickly loosed
her diets and dashed water into ber
tics from the full canteen which he
happened to have, finally fbr-ed a

scornfully at her, and said to Mrs.
Brown i "There's no time for non

and bandages at once, and send some
body to the hotel for Dr. Chester's

It was a terrible hour to Meta
while he probed each wound and re
moved the shot that were deeply im
bedded in the tender flesh. Fortu
nately no bone was broken, and at
lust it as neatly bandaged w ith soft
linen and wet with healing lotion,
and sho fell asleep. Mrs. Brown
proved au efficient bo'per ; and os
they parsed quietly out of the room
the doctor said :

But mind what I aay : you must not
see tier, nor must any one else see
her but Mia. Brown and myself for
a week at least for she will have a
serious time of it at best regret
exceedingly, more than I can tell
you, that I have been the cause of all
this suffering, and will do my best to
have her about again as soon aa pos
sible." So saj ing, the doctor wish
ed them good day, and soon disap
peared from their view.
"Well, now. if that isn't cool t And
what am I to do about all this."
groaned Mrs. Smith, rocking herself
vigorously in her great arm-chair.
"And my best spare room, too I Say
did he muss everything up dressing
that arm 1"
"Oh no 1 he waa careful about
that"
"Well, that's a comfort any war.
To think I should have such trouble
with that girl just when I needed
her most I I think it is a very mys
terious dispensation of Providence."
The next morning the doctor found
Meta in a high fever, moaning with
Cain and delirious. The arm was
adly swollen and inflamed, and al
together her ruse had assumed a
very alarming aspect He did not
go hunting or fishing thut day, but
stayed by ber bedside administering
medicine w ith bis own band, and do

over the accident and inwardly vowed

left its earthly tenement, and that
death had claimed him for its own,
Eng becstr e so terribly shocked that

seemed to be a deadly stupcr and all

Tho Siamese twins, Eng and
Chang, were born at a small village

1811. Their parents got their living
by fishing, and until 1H30, when Euglonligtened human beings did not
and Chang were brought, to tho Uni- flourinh and fade on this grand heuv-
ted States, they matte their living by
Belling shellfish. Their mother bore
seventeen children. At ono time
she gave birth to three and

children were deft lined. 'I ho twins

on a planta

their agent in New York. Up to tho
period that each had five children
all prospered well enough, but one
of them had tbo sixth, and this
awoke envy and jealousy to inch a
degree that the twin sisters, not
being bound together liko the twin
brothers, would lo lonjer live under
tho Barm roof.
'J ho brothers, where, ft seem,

years older than the other. They could
either tuin back to bock or fnco to

markublo bond that united them
permitted. A few years sinco they
corresponded with some of the lead
ing Kurgical operators in London, as
to the possibi'ity of tho umbilicus
being cut, so that in the case of tho
death of one, tho life of the other
might be saved. At tho requottt of

AN IRTfcRKaTlKO ItCXIC.
The Scrnnton JirpuVican relates
tho discovery, by a miner, tt a cop
per whistle embedded in a vein of
coal, one hundred fcot benontu the
earth. It w as discovered by Michflel
Iionghery, working in No. 10 mine
Pennsylvania Coal Company's work
at Pittston. In the centre of a mas
si vo piece of coal he was breaking, be
found embeddfld what appeared to
be a small wooden box of an oblong
shape, which, upon being touched,
crumbled into dust and disclosed a
copper whistle, with a flint mouth
pieco, and in shape like tho ordinary
tin whistles blown by children. The
miner brightcued it np (says tho
ftubtiran), applied it to his month,
and made it sound doubtless for the
first timo in cvntnrie. Tho spot
where it lay is about one hundred
feet beneath the surface of the earth.
How many seasons have been swept
over tho terrestrial sphere, by the
never ceasing tide of timo, since thia
memento was laid carelessly aaido,
by eome hand of a former ago, is k

whistlo remains to attest in favor of
the science of geology. It should be

or I y some historical society, together
with a specimen of tho structurn in

shall say in tho face of each a fact
