SOIERSET,
SIXES.
I ll try and nuke a iiale font
Of ocreiiuited paaaion.
And though ia wTtting I am wrt'Og,
I'm rarely In tie fashion :
My In re waa quit, tha pink oflove.
And one of her isreet trieks la
To wear sack eaptivatinif glo'et
IndispaLahl. dxea.
I recollect a month agu,
A week, and then 1 kaew her ;
Yea, thirty days haTe paaaed, I know.
Tet aoraehow they seem fewer.
But I dlnrena : I receolleet
Last Friday, thiea weekj clearly:
"Xealii wine aad beauty 's joint effect
I said 1 ioved her dearly.
Aad oh, that glove, that right hand gUve.
Lay in my hand so nicely.
Thought I of coarse aside -My Wive.
Tour hand ii six precisely.'
And then I aid the usual thin-fi
About the heart' derotioa.
And added, a. the poet sines,
Some relerene. to the ocea.
Her pretty hand remained in mine;
She said: "Now really, Mr."
The -Smith" remained unsaid, ia hne,
I grieve to say I kissed her.
I ean't say what she really thought.
But somehow she looked frtghtened;
Ala, by tad experience tauaut,
My mind is bow enlightened.
I'm writing at a country place, j

THE Tin ELY WABSHo.
' Good night, papa," said a sweet,
childish voice.
I looked down ia surprise cpon the
little jrirl that was standing before ray
friend's knee: for though this was our
first meeting after a separation for
some years, I had supposed him to be
childless.
She had entered the room so
noiselessly that until she spoke,
neither ot us had been conscious of
her presence.
Good night, my daughter, saia
my host, a smile of infinite tender
ness softening his rather stern feat
ures, and holding out his arms as he
?poke.
The child sprang quickly to trie
sbelUT of that broad breast, laying
her soft check lovinglv against his.
As he held her thus, stroking as
tenderly as a .mother might, the
shining hair that mingled with his
own jetty locks. I thought that I
had never seen a prettier picture.
She was ia forin so petite, with
features almost iufantine in their del
icacy of outline, he so strong and
stately; her complexion was exquisite
ly fair and her eyes of the softest
blue, while his were black and pierc
ing, and his face bronzed by the expo
sure to sua and storm incidental to
his adventurous life.
A matronly-looking woman opened
the door, pausing upon the threshold
as if reluctant to disturb them.
A3 soon as my friend obs-erved her,
he arose, and blessing the child with
a solemnitr and tenderness I had
never witnessed in him before, dis
missed her.
"Not vour own daughter?" I said,
as soon as we were left alone
"No; but I could not love her bet
ter if she was. She is the most
precious of all my earthly possessions,
as well she might be. My darling
little Kathie! she saved mv life."
What? that slender, delicate child?"
"Yes: and when she was smaller
and younge.-thai she is now."
"I will tell you how it was," added
my friend, replying more to the
eager inquiry ia my eyes, rather than
to annum? I bad said. "It is not a
long story."
And pushing toward me a cut
?lass dish, of suine quaint and curi
ous pattern filled with heavy clusters
of crapes, my host settled himself
back ia his easy chair, and commenc
ed as follows:
About two years ago, important
business called me to A , in the
western part ef Canada. Tartly be
cause I was more accustomed to that
kind of locomotion, and partly be
cause public conveyances in that sec
tion of the country were slow and
uncertain, I started on horseback.
I had been about a fortnight oa
my way, and was beginmng to con
gratulate myself that I must be near
the termination of my journey.
It was near sundown, and the skv
bcean to loekas if a storm was brew
ing. I had ridden many hours
through a rude thinly settled country,
and began to look anxiously about for
some human habitation. It was
therefore, with a feeling of relief that
I saw a few rods ahead of me, what
seemed to be a public house. It was
so long since I had seen one that, in
spite of its dark, dreary appearances,
it had a pleasant look to me.
There were neither trees nor aay
signs of vegetation around the house,
in front of which a crazy looking
sign was creaking in the wind that
was rising.opon which was evidently
once 'Entertainment for Man and
Beast," now nearly effaced by expo
sure to the weather.
As I rode to the dor, I saw a
stout, middle-aged man sitting opon
the rude porch, cleaning a gun.
"Good evening, friend,". I said.
Can yon tell me how far it w to the
village of A?"
Tbe man gave me a quick compre
hensive glaace, aad then dropped his
eyes. , .
. "It is a matter of eight miles," he
replied., "just beyond . Dlack Forest,
the edge of which yoa can see from
here."
"Von Lad better not attempt it to
night, " h added, as- he saw I hesi
tated a3 whether I bad better Etop or
push ahead, now that I was ao near
my journey's end. There ia a storm
coming- op; besides a good many
travelers have been robbed in Blaek
Forest lately."
I "I believe I won't risk it then," I
said; "tor I have that about me that I
sLouldn't care to lose."
I recalled afterwards, the sadden
brightening of the landlord's eyes as
I said this, bat it was so brief that it
made little impression on me at the
t'me.
Remarking that his hostler had
gooe awar on an errand, he took
charge of my horse, and taking my j
sadaie-bags in my hand, I entered the!
hoase.
It consisted of a large LalL with a
good sized room on either side. As
soon as I ttepped in my attention
was arrested by a little girl, in spite of

faint rustle, and turning I saw the
little girl I bad observed b-'ow, j
standing ia the middle of the room,
with an expression on her counte
nance, which startled me as much as J
her unexpected appearance. j
"Are yoa going to stay here to-;

per. i
"Yes," I replied, wouldn't you like i
to Lave me?" !
"No, oh no," she said with the
same look and tone, shaddering as
she spoke. "This is a dreadful place.
Don't stay. " If yoa do they will kill
you as they did. "
"Kathie," Kathie," screamed tie
fcarsh voice of the landlord's wife,
"come down here this minute."
Kathie's eyes dilated with terror;
turning she glided from the room
as quickly and noiselessly as sho en
tered. Listening, I heard angry voices be
low; then a sharp cry endin? ia pite
ous sobs, whicb gradually died
away as if the child was being con
veyed to some distant part of the
house.
Filled with indigaation and alarm,
I opened the door with the intention
of interfering, but on second thought,
how useless any such attempt would
be, in my present situation, I closed
it and went to the window.
I placed my hand upoa the shut
ters; they were iron, and firmly fixed
into the casement.
It did not take me long to decide
what to do. After examining my
revolver, to see if it was all right, I
took my traps and descended to the
bar-room.
The landlord started with an angry
look when he saw me.
"I have concluded to resume my
journey," l saia in as careless a lone
as I could assume, "i lease bring
my horse directly to the door.'1
"Every man to his fancy," said the
man, glancing eharplv at roe from
the corner of hiseves "but I shouldn't
want to pass through Black Forest
alone such a night as this."
Yoa forgot mv trustv friend here."
I waid, touching my revolver signi'i
cantly as I spoke.
The viuian cowered; lor he saw in
a moment that I understood bun.
I suppose vou know vour own
business best," he muttered sullenly
as he went out for my horse.
It was with feeling of joy that 1

which was decided against him on
lithe irrouad that cis claim was out-

j The scene of the fallowing two
i cases, with which we
shall end our
review, is ia England:
Oae Edward Stapleton died as
- was supposed of typhus .ever, ihe
disease had been attended by such
strange phenomena throughout, that
the physicians were desirous to make
a post mortem examination of the
case. The relative?, however, posi-
tico'ir r(fna9i1 thptr rflttspnt.- The
i physicians consequently decided to
1 steal the body not aa unusual tning

.appearance
i ness and limpidity of the blood.
One of the physicians proposed
- that they should sui.ject tne body to
j the action cf a galvanic battery.
J This they did, with abnormal results;
- the movements aad contractions of
! the muscles were more powerful than
are usually observed. Toward even-
they should make aa iacisioa ia the
pectoral muscles, and introduce the
poles cf the battery iato the wound.
This was done, when, to their amaze
meat, the body rolled from the table,
remained a second or two oa its feet,
stammered out two or three unintel
ligible words, and then fell heavily to
the floor. For a mordent the learned
doctors were ccafourded, bat soon
regaining their presence of mind,
they saw that Stapleton was still
alive, although he had again failea in
to his former lethargy. They now
applied thetaselve3 to resuscitating
hioi, ia which they were successful.
He afterward said that during the
whole time he was fa"y conscious of
his condition, aad of what was pass-
j ing around him. The
words he at
tempted to utter were: "I am alive."
A somewhat similar experience was
that of aa English artillery o;5cer
who, ia a fall from a horse, had frac
tured his skull, and was trepanned.
He was ia a fair way tor co.-er,
when one day he fell into a letha-gy
so profound "that he was thought to
be dead, aad ia due time, was buried.
