A CKCEIj BliOW. "The most dangerous and trouble some men," said Dr. Redfield, "are those who 6hould be regarded as fools, but for some unexplained rea- ' . it i :r..l son are not, xiere is a ueauuiiu and lovelr vouns woman suddenly deprived "of reason just on the eve of her marriage to tne woriny young man on whom the blow has also fal len with crushing force. Two lives blighted perhaps for ever by. an act that should consign its perpetrator to a prison and a lunatic asylum for each alternate year of the remainder of his life." These remarks related to a practi cal joke played by a reckless and imprudent young man, one rrea Losher, the victim of his criminal folly being his cousin, Florence Per- cival, whose marriage would have taken place the next day. The railway tram wnicn was cring ing her prospective husband from his home, three hunarea mues away, was behind time about live hours, delayed by a heavy storm, which had also prostrated the telegraph lines, so that no information in re gard to the cause of the detention could be obtained. The train came in at last howey- er, all right, and without having sus tained any serious acciaenu me bride eroom elect, Frank McAllister, alighted from the cars, going first to the hotel, Irom whence, m nan an hour, he would have reported him self at the residence of his betrothed. That foolish cousin, however, who had been sent to the station to ob tain the earliest news of the delayed tram, came rushing Dacic 10 ine house to bring the tidings, but he thought it would be a capital joke, as he afterwards said, to give his cousin at first a good scare. "Well, Florence," he exclaimed, "Frank has been heard from at last. The train's smashed forty persons killed and he among them !' A bewildered, half conscious looK was followed by a fearful scream, and poor Florence had fallen uncon scious. Dr. Redfield. the family physician who chanced to be passing the door. was immediately with the patient, and doing his utmost to arrest the progress of those terrible convul sions, out witn scarcely anny suc cess. A young brother of Florence was the only person with her at the time that startling announcement was made; but his version of what had occurred was so clear and posi tive that the reckless fellow who was the author of the mischief did not attempt to contradict or deny the bov's statement. Had the life of the dear girl been suddenly destroyed by the careless discharge of a pistol, fired by some one who dia not stop 10 conBiuer in what direction he was pointing, the consternation and sorrow of the fam ily could scarcely have been greater. Frank McAllister knelt at the side of the insensible girl, giving vent to his feelings in an agony of grief. In the meantime, the young block head by whose criminal foily the mischief had been done, was dodg ing around in a dozen directions, telling everybody how very sorry ne was for what had happened, and asking each one to tell him what eer- he could render. He subsided, however, and made himself less prominent, after having been repeatedly told that his imme diate departure trom tne scene oi tne trnnble would cratifv everyone in the room.' But the blow that bad fallen up on the heart of the afflicted lover was too severe to permit an immedi ate reaction even in the way of re sentment against the author of the trouble. The joyful hope that hUed his whole soul an hour before had given place to sorrow that seemed to have gone through every nerve of his life. ' The terrible shock was followed, as the doctor predicted it would be, by a typhomania, that continued three weeks, the patient's life in the mean time, beine suspended in a balance which the weight of a feather might turn. , , At the end of that time the mala Av ttfoin tn take a different form. The cerebral excitement appeared to have exhausted its force and to be Ttnflsinir awiv. but the light of reason did not return. The one terrible thought, that her lover had been crashed to death, had gone through and possessed her whole mind, and there did not seem to be any way to remore it. iCSTiSJBLISHKD, 1827. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. The first question she asked, when looking as if making an effort to rea son once more, was, how lone it would be before she could go to her Frank's funeral. When assured that he was not dead, but still alive, and actually in the room at that moment, the mean ing of the words did not seem to en ter her mind, for she' again repeated ly asked, in a pleading way: "Please let me go to Frank's fune ral!" i Her lover, who had been with her, or near her, almost continually, then came forward, and, Bitting down be side her, took one of her hands, say ing: . "1 am not dead, dear Florence ! I am alive and here with you." Rut his kind words only brought a bewildering stare. s "You ! Who are you?" she asked. "I do not know you ! I never saw you before. You are not my dear Frank he is dead ; and now they will not even let me go to his funer al. Did you know Frank? You look some like him, but I believe you are trying to pass yourself for him. Go away from me, you trouble me !n "There is hope in her case,", said the, doctor, when at . his next visit this incident was related to him. "The normal action of ler mind will not be restored immediately, and will be a work of great labor and care. I think it will; be better, my voune friend." he continued, ad dressing McAllister, ' "for her not even to see vou for a few days. We will, in the meantime, carefully" ob serve all she says in regard to you, Frank." This plan was continued for some three weeks, but with no encourag ing result. The experiment of al lowing Frank to return and talk to her, and with other persons was again tried, but without success. JJy the earnest desire of the par ents and other friends tif the patient, Florence was retained at home in stead of being bent to an asylum for lunatics. Dr. Redfield giving her his daily, and in fact, almost con stant attention. I In this way three months of pain ful and anxious suspense, with no certainty in regard to the final result, passed. ; "You are a good singer, I believe," said the doctor addressing young McAllister, as they were sitting to gether on the veranda, where they had been talking for half an hour in regard to the care of poor Florence. "Well, yes; 1 am a lair singer, replied Frank. -t "Florence and I have been accustomed to sing togeth er, especially when much younger, and before 1 moved away from the city. We were at one) time mem bers of a juvenile choir for over two years." . . .Vt.'tzr s-: I "Well, my dear fellow," said the doctor. "I am disposed to try anoth er experiment, which may not be of the least use to our dear Florence, but can certainly do her no harm. I want you to come into one of the adjoining rooms occasionally, only do not let her see you, and sing one of those old songs which you and she have been accustomed to sing together with the deepest interest, and let U9 see what the result will be. You must be near enough for her to hear vou distinctly. We will try this experiment only when she is in a quiet state of mind." ...... ... : on "Who is mat singing i ubkcu Florence, starting up and looking around suddenly and earnestly. "It sounds like the voice of my dear Frank, who is now in Heaven. How glad I would be to get there and live with him." This remark was made the first time the experiment was tried, the patient being at that time more composed than usual. "1 know that is my aear jrani s voice," she repeated. "Please let me( go to him." j And she at once began to eaten the tune and also sing a few notes of it "It does sound like Frank sing ing," the doctor finally said ; "but I do not see how we could hear him if he is already in Heaven. I think it must be nearer than that" The experiment was, however. continued only a short time, as the patient became very mucn exciiea alter a few moments, and burst into tears, becgine to be allowed to go and join iier tleir Frank in the world to which she knew r;e nau gone. Similar experiments were repeated frequently, occasions being selected when t lorence was most quiet ana not liable to be too much excited ; her lover, in the meantime, passing around from one room to another, sometimes quite near to her, and then in a distant part of the large house. After a few trials the patient began to ask for the singing, and would not be satisfied until she heard it She would listen for a considerable time with the deepest attention and in terest occasionally joining with her . a. "fa 1t own voice, but wouia invariably be come weary after a time, and some times pass off again into the wildest excitement The moment, however, any trouble of that sort appeared to be approach ing, the singing was, of course, sus pended. In this way these experiments had continued for some two or three weeks, with encouraging results. At length, one day aa the patient was sitting up in her chair, and more quiet than usual, the familiar notes of "The Last Rose of Summer" sounded out clear and distinct Florence immediately joined, her own voice to that of the unseen sing er ; then, as if forgetting that she had ever imagined that her lover was dead, she sprang from her chair, the doctor grasping her arm at the same instant, and fixing upon him an earnest and inteUigentlook exclaim ed: "Doctor, that is my dear Frank! He is in the next room ! Why does he not come in here She would have gone to find him at once, but Dr. Redfield finally per suaded her to sit down and let nun on &nd see if he could find him. "Go in at once," directed the doc tor, "but in a perfectly natural way, Aa not ahow the least excitement 1 will' come after a few moments, bat vnn had better go in and meet her I 'i : . . i JUNE 13, 1883. Teri minutes later the doctor en tered quietly, and had the happiness of seeing his patient sitting oy the side of 1 ran:, clasping his hands in her own. "Why, Doctor," she exclaimed, ''here is my dear Frank. He has come at last He says the cars were off the track, and were delayed a few hours. We were to be be married to-morrow, you know." "Yes, Florence," said the doctor, taking her hand kindly, "but you have not been very well lately, and it will be better to defer your mar riage for a few days." "But you will not go away any more, Frank, until after our wed ding ?" said Florence, very anxious ly. "No. indeed," said her lover, the tears starting to his eyes. "And we will be married just as soon as you are well enough for us to go on our wedding tour." No allusion was made at that time to what had occurred, but after some days, in answer to her questions, she was gradually permitted to learn the whole truth. Of the sudden fright, however, she remembered nothing. The last thing her memory recalled in connection with that terrible affair was an inci dent that occurred about four hours !revious to that event, when her ather, as she said, came in and told her that the train was behind time, having been due for an hour. All after that was a blank, the terrible shock having, by some strange law of the mind, reflected backward, so as to wipe out entirely the recollec tion of what had occurred in those four preceding hours. She referred, however, occasionally to having heard Frank singing in the adjoining rooms, and wondering why he did not come in where she was. This had seemed, however, more like a dream than a reality. Her recovery was rapid..

Hannah Dustin, who escaped from Indian captivity in 1698, took ten scalps with her own hand, and was paid for them. : Captain Church, undertaking his expedition against the Eastern Indians, in 1S07, after the Deerfield massacre, announced that they had not hitherto permitted the scalping of " Canada men," but should thenceforth allow it In 1722, when the Massachusetts colony sent an expedition against the vil lage of " praying Indians," founded by Father Rasle they offered for each scalp a bounty of 15, afterwards increased to 8100 ; and this inhu manity was so far carried 6ut that the French priest himself was one of ... -r 1 TV . 1 the victims. . jeremian oumsirau, of Boston, made this entry in his almanac in the same year : w Aug. 22, 28 Indian scalps brought to Boa ton, one of which was Bombazen's, an Indian chief, and one fryer Raile's." Two years after the cele brated but inappropriately named Captain Lovewell, the foremost In dian fighter of his region, came upon ten Indians asleep around a pond ; he and his men killed and scalped them all, and entered Dover, ISew Hampshire, bearing the ten scalps stretched on hoops and elevated on poles. After receiving an ovation in Dover they went by water to Boston, and were paid a thousand pounds for their scalps. Yet Love- well's party was always accompan ied by a chaplain, and had prayers every morning and evening. The most painiui aspect oi tne whole practice lies in the fact that it was not confined to those actually engaged in fighting, but that the colonial authorities actually estab- ished. a tariff of prices for scalps, including even non-combatants so much for a man s, so mucn lor a woman's, so much for a child's. Dr. Ellis has lately pointed out the striking circumstance that whereas William 1'enn declared tne person of an Indian to be 'sacred,' his grandson in 1764 offered $164 for the scalo of an Indian man, $130 for that of a boy under ten, and $50 for that of a woman or girl. The habit doubtless began in the fury of retal iation, and was continued in order to conciliate Indian allies; ana when bounties were offered to them, the white volunteers naturally claimed a share. But there is no doubt that Puritan theology helped the adoption of this practice. It was partly because the Indian was held to be something worse than a beast that he was treated as being at least a beast The truth was that he was viewed as a fiend, and there could not be much scruple about using inhumanities against a demon. Cotton Mather calls Satan " the old landlord" of the American wilder ness, and says in his Magnolia: These Parts were then covered with Nations of Barbarous Indians and Infidels, in whom the Prince of the Power of the Air did work as a Spirit ; nor could it be expected that fiations oi wreicnes woose whole religion was the most Explic it sort of Devil-Worship should not be 'acted by tbe Devil to engage in some early and bloody Action for the Extinction of a Plantation sor con trary to his Interests as that of New ... , . n en ,1 ' u: jLingiana was. i .

"There, you drop that," said the grocery man to the bad boy, as he came limping into the store and be gan to thumble around a box of strawberries- . "I have never kicked at your eating my codfish and crack ers and cheese and herrings and ap pleaut there has got to be a divid ing line somewhere, and I make it on strawberries at four shillings a box and only two layers in a box. I only bought one box, hoping that Borne plumber or gas man would come along and buy. it and by gum, everybody has been in this store has sampled a strawberry . out of that box, and shivered as though it was sour, and gone off without asking the price," and the grocery man look ed mad, and took the hatchet and knocked in a barrel of apples, and said, "There help yourself to dried apples." "0, 1 don't want your strawberries or dried apples," said the boy, as he leaned against the show-case and looked at a bar of red, transparent soap. "I was only trying to- fool you. Say, that bar of soap is old enough to vt. te. I remember seeing it in the show-case when I was about a year old and pa come in here with me and held me up to the show-case to look at them tin tobacco-boxes, and that round zinc looking glass, and the yellow wooden pocket comb, and the soap looks just the same, only a little faded. If you would wash yourself once in a while your soap wouldn't dry up on your hands, ar.d the boy sat down in the chair without any back, feeling that he was even with the grocery man. "You never mind the soap. It is paid for, and that is more than your lather can say about tbe Eoap that has been used about his house the past month," said the grocery maa, as he split up a box for kindling the fire. "But we won't quarreL What was it I heard about a- band serenad ingyour father ,and his inviting them in to lunch ?" "Don't let,that get out, or pa will kill me dead. It was a joke. One of those Bohemian bands that goes about town playing tunes for pen nies, was over on the next street, and I told pa that I guessed some of his friends who heard we had a baby at the house had hired a band and were coming in a few ciinutes to serenade him, and he better prepare to make a speech. Pa is proud of being a father at his age, and he thought it was no more than right for his neighbors to serenade him, and he went to loading himself for a speech, in the library, and me and my chum went out and told the leader of the band there was a family up there that wanted to have some music, and they didn't care for ex penses, so they quit blowing where they were and came right along. None of them could understand English except the leader, and he only understood enough to take a drink when he is invited. My chum steered the band up to our bouse and got them to play "Babies on our Block," and "Baby Mine," and I stopped the men going home and told Jhem to wait a minute and they would see some fun ; so when the band got through the second time, and they were emptying the beer out of their horns, and pa stepped out on the porch there were more than a hundred people in front of the house. You'd a dide to see pa when he put his hand in the breast of his coat and struck an attitude. He looked like a Congressman or a tramp, the band wa3 scared, 'cause they thought he was mad, and some of them were going to run, thinking he was going to throw pieces of a brick house at them. Then dad sail ed in. He commenced "Fellow cit izens," and then went back to Adam and Eve, and worked up to the pres ent day, and gave a history of the notable people who had acquired children, and kept the crowd inter ested. I felt sorry for pa, fcause I knew how he would feel when he come to find out he had been sold. The Bohemians in the band that couldn't understand English, they looked at each other, and wondered what it was all about and finally pa wound up by stating that it was every citizen's duty to own children of his own, and then he invited the band and the crowd in to take some refreshments. Well, you ought to have seen the band come into the house! They fell over each other getting in, and the crowd went home, leaving pa and my chum and me and the band. Eat? now I should smile. Thev just reached for things and talked Bohemian. Drink? O, no I guess they didnt pour it down. Pa opened a dozen bottles ol Champagne, ana iney iainy bathed in it as though they had a fire inside. Pa tried to talk with them about the baby, but they couldn't understand, finally they got full and started out, and the leader asked pa for S3, and that broke bim nn. Pa told the leader that he sup- nosed the gentleman who had got up the serenade had paid for the music, and the leader pointed to me and said I was the gentleman that got it nn. Panaid him. but he had a wicked look in his ey , and me and mv chum lit out and the Bohemians comedown the street boiling full, with their horns on their arms, talking Bohemian for all that was out They stopped in front ot a va cant house and began to play, but you couldn't tell what tune it was, they were so full, and a policeman came along and drove them home.

It la a good deal more pleasant to read the poets dreams about purlins brooks, lowing kine, the scene of new mown hay, and the milk-maid sing ing blythe than the language of Josh Billings, "cradle oaw aown nm in the dry days with both gallus buttons broke." The poetry and real ity of a farmer's life are two different things. As the farmer himself is, morallyiand intellectually, so will his wife be. The path of neither is one of nrimroee and violets. The character of household work on the farm and its associations and isolations are wearisome, long con tinued and necessarily monotonous. All this breaks ambition and leaves little time or inclination for sen im provement The average can be in flpnpndant and is. but he acquires it by continuous and careful labor and bis wife is like unto him. All this is largely true, nd therefore one is not surprised to hear now and then complaints from farmer's wives that their lot is not a happy one. In Tuesday's Aw York Sun is a commu nication from a farmer's better half bewailing her condition and among other things says: "I am not thinking lightly on this topic, nor solely for myself; yet in my own case I cannot see where we have been in fault. I am 4-5 and gray haired. I have strived for years with all my nerve and strength and so ha3 my good husband. We have practiced economy, self denial and frugality, along with our hard labor, to a painful extent We have done the very best we could, and our toil has not been adequately repaid. What we have to sell brings too little for what we buy. I can bear ordinary privations, if not with cheerful at least with pa tient submission, but when I see no hone of anything but the merest ru diments of an education for the bright brains the Lord has given me, without sacrificing the home itself, I feel that it is too cruel a Provi dence, if it be not man's injustice. The farmer is not properly paid or there would not be thousands of mothers similarly situated." hen we read this complaint we are inclined to think at first that it represents the common condition of all farmer's wives, and that this un happy condition is peculiar alone to farmer's lives. Evidently this wife has a yearning for the socalled refine ment of life; a fashionable education for her children and the association of cultured society. The only advan tage other class of the community. the artisan and tradesman, have over the farmer, ia in the culture of close accociation. The majority of men and women have to work for a living, and when wages are measured by endeavor, the farmer's wife gets as much for her churning as the seamstress for mak ing a shirt When we look at the work in a general way, we find that no special class has an advantage. The wife of the artisan, the trades man, and even of the professional class, ia just aa bad off as the farm er's wife, in fact worse; she works hard for the scheming to keep tbe larder full, clothe the little ones, and make both ends meet, requires the expenditure of more nervous force than is called from the farmers wife. On an average the lawyers of this town are not making $2,000 a vear, many tradesmen no more, and all workingmen scarcely half. From one end of the world to the other, living is but from hand to mouth,and no time is allowed for much higher culture or more agreeable way of liv ing. ! Of course we are speakinggenerally. The riches which give luxury are the exceptions in this world, not the rule. And so taking all in all the farmer and his wife have it in their power to be more solidly happy than those who live upon the fluctuations of trade or the demand of labor from the artisan. Very much of our con dition depends upon ourselves. If we have brains, we can live in the world of culture in spite of circum stances. The wife who has the incli nation to study and reflect, can in still the same love of learning into daughter or son. Lack of time is al ways the excuse of the indolent or incompeteut As a general thing, farmers do not care for association. Clubs, etc., are not common. His library is tbe family newspaper and a few patent office reports sent hira by his Congressman. His parlor is opened on state occasions and his children live in the kitchen. There is no ease in this life and there is no royal road to learning. The sit uation of the farmer's wife is as good as that of any other woman, save the actually rich. The trouble is work is made the end of life, and sufficient time is not spared for im- nrovement even, which is rare, if there is inclination. There are no artificial ways to better existence. This depends upon ourselves, and if tVaari' war-l ItOO VOOaI CTaa Ta Aa TVJ'lf K 1 T but churn and bake, in season and out of season, they need not com plain if they do not have the grace and culture of those who spare the time for self improvement XELTKAUZED.
