rcaou just ou the eve of her marriage to the worthy young man oh whom the terrible bbw has also fallen with crushing force two lives blighted perhaps forever by an act that ehotild con sign its perpetrator to a prison and a lunatic asyl am for each alternate year of the re- maiuder of bis life these remarks related to a practical joko playecjby a reckless and imprudent young man one fred ilosher tha victim of his criminal folly being his cousin florence percival whose marriage wouldhave taken place the next day the railway train which was bringing her prospective husband from his home three hundred i miles away was behind time about five hours delayed by a heavy storm which had also prostrated the tele graph hues so that do information inre- gard to the cause of the detention could be obtained- i the train came in at last however all right aud witiiout having sustained any serjoas accident the bridegroom elect frank mcallister alighted romlhe cars going first to the hotel from whence in half an hour he would have reported him self at the residence of his betrothed that foolish coasin however who had been sent to the station to obtain the earliest news of the delayed train came rushing hack jo the house to bring the tidings but thought it would be a capital joke as he afterwards said to give his cdnsin at nrstj a good scare well florence he exclaimed frank has been heard from at last the trains smashed forty persons killed and he among them a bewildered half conscious look was followed by a fearful scream and poor florence had fallen unconscious dr redfield the family physician who chanced to be passing the door was im- mediately with the patient and doing hia utmost to araest the progress of those terrible convulsions but with scarcely any bqcceas l a young brother of florence wa the only person with her at the time that startling 4mioydb6iwii was- made but his versiop of what had occurred was so clear and positiive that the reckless fellow who was the ajithor of the mischief did not attempt to contradict or deny the boya tatemept had the life of the dearfirl boon sudden- ly destroyed by the oarelfisb discharge of a pistol fired by some one who did not stop to consldef in what direction he was point- ing the consternation and sorrow of the isterna family 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 blockhead by whose criminal folly the mischief had been done was dodging around in a dozen directions telling everybody how sorry he was for what had happened and asking each oue to tell him what service he could render he subsided however and made himself less prominent after having been repeatedly told that his immediate de parture from the scene of the trouble would gratify every one there but the blow that had fallen upon the heart of the afflicted lover was too severe to permit an immediate reaction even in the way of resentment against the author of the trouble the joyful hope that filled his whole soul an hour before had given place to a90tto that seemed to have gone through every nerve of his life the terrible shock wa followed as the doctor predicted it would be by a lypho- mauia that continued three weeks the patients life in the meantime being sus pended in a balance which the weight of a feather might turn at the end of that time the malady be gan to take a different form the cerebral excitement appeared to have exhausted its force and to be passing away but the light of reason did not return the one terrible thought that her lover had been crushed to death had gone through and possessed her whole mind and there did not seem to be any way to remove it the first question she asked when look ing as if making an effort to reason once more was how long it would be before she could go to franks funeraj when assured that he was not dead but still alive and actually in the room at that moment the meaning of the words did not seem to enter her mind for she again repeatedly asked in a pleading way please let me go to franks funeral 1 her lover who had been with her or near her almost continually then came forward and sitting down beside her took oue of her hands saying i am not dead dear florence i am alive and here with you bui his kind words only broaght a be wildering enare voq who an you she asked i do uot know you 1 i never saw you before you are not my dear frank he is dead and now they will not even lot me go to his funeral did you know frank you look 6ome like him and i believe yoaare trying to pass yourself for him go away from me you trouble me there is hope in her case said the doctor when at his next visit this incident was related to him the normal action of her mind will not be restored immedi ately and will be a work of great labor and care i think it will be better my young friend he continued addressing mcallis ter for her not even to see you for a few days we will in the meantime caxef ully observe all she says in regard to you this plan was continued for some three weeks but with no encouraging result the experiment of allowing frank to re turn aud talk to her and with other persons also in hex presence was again tried but without success by the earnest desire of the parents and other friends of the patient florence was retained at homo instead of being sent to an asylum for lunatics dr kedfield giving her his daily and in fact almost constant attention in this way three months of painful 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 ritting together oa the verandah where they had been talking for a half hour in regard to the case of poor flor ence well yes i am a fair singer replied frank florence and i have been accus tomed to sing together especially when much younger and before i moved away from the city we were at one time mem bers of a juvenile chojr for two years well tny dear fellow said the doctor i am disposed to try another experiment which may not be the least use to our dear florence but cancertamlydohermyhanri i want you to come into one of the adjoin ing rooms occasionally only do not let her sec you and sing some of those old songs which you and she have been accustomed to sing together with the deepest interest and let us see what the result will be you must be near enough for her to hear you distinctly we will try this experiment only when she is in a quiet state of mind who is that singing asked florence starting up and looking around suddenly and earnestly it sounds like the voice of my dear frank who is how in heaven how glad i would be to go there and live with him this remark was made the first time the experiment was tried the patient being at the time more composed than usual i know that is my dear- franks voice th repeated please let me go to him and she at once began to catch the tone and sing a few nbtes of it it does sound like frank tinging the doctor finally said but i do not see bow we could hear him if he is already in heaven i think ht must be neater than that the experiment was however continued only short time ae the patient became very much excited after a fey memento and burst into tears begging to be allowed to go and join her dear frank in the world to which she knew he had gone similar experiments were repeated frequent oc casions being selected when florencejas most quiet and uot liable to be too much excited her lover in the meantime pass ing around from one room to another sometimes quite near to her and then in a distant part of the house after a few trials the pitient began to ask for the singing and would not be satis fied uatil she heard it 6he listen for a considerable time with the deepest attention and interest occasionally joining with her own voice but would invariably become wear after a time and sometimes pass off again into the wildest excitement the moment however any trouble of that sort appeared to be approachiug the sing ing was of course suspended in this way these experiments had con tinued for some two or three weeks with encouraging results at length one day when the patient was sitting up in her chair and more quiet than usual the familiar notes of the last roses of sum mer sounded out clear and distinct florence immediately joined herown voice to that of the unseen singer 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 intelligent look exclaimed doctor that is my dear frank he is in the next room why does he not come in here 7 she would have gone to find him at once but dr redfield finally persuaded her to sit down and let him go and see if he could find him go in at once directed the doctor but in a perfectly natural way do not show the least excitement i will come after a few momenta but you better go in and meet ner alone ten minutes later the doctor entered quietly and had the happiness of seeing his patient sitting by the side of frank clasping his hands in her own why doctor she exclaimed here is my dear frank he has come at last 1 he says the cars were off the track and were delayed a few hours we were to be mar ried tomorrow yon know yes florence eaid the doctor taking her hand kindly but you have not been very well lately and it will be better to defer your marriage for a few days but you will not go away any more frank until after our wedding 6aid florence anxiously 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 ko 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 hex memory re called in connection with that terrible af fair was an incident that occurred about four hours previous to that event when her father 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 back wards so as to wipe out entirely the recol lection of what had occurred in fhose four preceding hours she referred however occasionally to having heard frank singing in the adjoin ing rooms and wondering why he did not come in where she was this had seemed however more like a dream than a reality h was rapid although po- sessed of a highly wrought nervous tem perament her constitution previous to this sad affair had been good and her health was soon restored leaving no trace of the mental disturbance and injury she had suffered the marriage took place soon after her complete recovery wise words comparison more than reality makes men happy and can make them wretched true friends visit us in prosperity only when invited but in adversity they come without invitation the

toilers could be guilty of doing a wrong or putting up a job on innocent wheat buyers a correspondent of the sun was at tama city iowa a few days since and was witness to a scene be tween a farmer and a wheat buyer named jake burton jake came along as the farmer was pouring the wheat from the sacks into the spout at the side of the elevator and he noticed the wheat was plugged that is that the top of a sack was all right but the middle and bottom were the toorest kind the following conversa tion ensued hello my friend said jake plugged your wheat did you the farmer paused in his labor and wiped bis sun burnt brow and replied v guess not i dont think it is dont think it is yelled jake look at this and look at that he said holding up both hands full of grain well it does seem to be different grades said the astonished fanner i dont see how it could have happened 14 tour boys did it suggested jake ho he replied that cannot be for i have always taught them to be straight and i know them to be good honest boys hired man again suggested- toe never tiring jacob yas said the hard- handed son of toll it must have been him and in went another back of mixed wheat those hired men mused jake will soon ruin us all only yesterday joe smith socked a ioof plugged wheat on me that his hired mardhad fixed up for my special benefit poor innocent joe felt terrible about it last week deacon jones unloaded a fine load oi barley that is it was fine at the top and bottom of the sacks but the hired man had plugged the middle with stuff that would not sell for screenings the good deacon would hardly believe that the yomyj man could do such a wicked thing i have worn off my shirt sleeves and my arms are callous to the elbow ramming them into backs for nest- eggs that those ungodly hired men have laid for me now and then the boys do it boys that walk not in the ways of their fathers but get to roaming around sundays smoking cigars drinking beer and finally wind up in abusing the confidence of their honest fathers in dosing me unbeknown to them cases have occurred where the wives have actually stolen away to the grainery while their husbands were toiling their lives away and put up a load or two of mixed grain but these cases are rare and the main run of scoundrels are the hired men imposing on the honest farmer now some folks would think that you fixed up this mess but of course i know better i have had experience its always the same story and nine timer out of ten any farmer will tell you that it is the hired man we have got to put there down your fair name is at aake see here my friend i will give that villainous valet of yours a lesson in common decency i will dock you 25 cents a bushel on his load and you take it out of his wages i dont think that will do said the farmer might kick let him kick replied jake you send him to me ill settle bis hash you take it out and if he wont settle with me ill refund heres your ticket corner bank drive on and let that other team up i want to see what kind of a hired man he has got the farmer drone off and jake softly whistling balanced his scales for the next deal aad pretty soon the farmer was seen sittingron a pile of grindstones in front of a store figuring on a piece of shingle with red chalk and it was more than likely he was figuring up how much he had made mi charged nothing dr aberoethy the celebrated
