These were my first thoughts, very
cheering, indeed, a 1 became con
scious. I could neither peak nor
move: bill I soon learned thai I
could hear.
A door opened. loottep ap
proached, I fell a cloth removed
from my face, and a voice which I
recognized as that of mv intended
father-in-law, said :
"He hasn't changed much,'' and
hi companion, whose voice I recog
nized a Sowcrby. the undertaker,
said lightly:
"There jut where ou are mi
taken. Mr. Muflins: he look ,i groat
light heller dead than alive; but
how does l'riscilla feel about it ?
Take on much, eh ?"
"Oh! no, just enough to appear
welll" said ihe father of my aflianc-
' '"" w"" 'l ''uckie. "she never
j eared much for Smith; 'twas his
stiiiiiis i but -be fnneifil. My Pri
eilla is a piacticil yiil and went in
for hi dimes. Id. earriaji.' and iries,
although at Ihe same limn I must
own she was spooney on bald-patcd
Howard, the arlii ; but he poor a
loli's turkey, a the ain i."
""Well, she can lne him now for
all thi poor en-, can't she?" said
Sowcrby, beatinsr a tattoo with hi
digit on my chosl.
'I presume o ; but he will wait
till the j ear is up, for fear of go.ip,
ou know."
'But who gels hi money, .seeing
the poor cues has no relations?"
queried the undertaker.
"Oh ! that' all right. You ee my
l'riscilln is a sensible girl. Before
she promised lo marry him he had
him make his will in her favor.
Poor Smith was rather sappy. yOU
know; had nothing against him,
however, although he was deucedly
homely, and .-itch a barn-door of a
mouth, always open."
"Well,'?nid the cheerful voice of
the undertaker, "his mouth is shut
tight enough now, 1 reckon ; he'll
never open it iu thi world again. I
reckon his immortal p-irt is now
with ihe angels."
And my mortal part i also with
the aii'.'el, thought 1 a fine pair of
angels! felt
clumsy ridicule
indignant at their
I tried lo shut my I
liM, but never a shut ua- to it. I
could do notliino- but litpn. Me
then began to measure me lor my
coffin. I hud heard that undertakers
whistled joyfully when they got a
measure. I believed it to be only a
joke on the craft ; but Sowcrby ac
tually sinick up the air "Pull down
the blinds," in a subdued IhrilHnc
wlii-iie while he measured me.
"A nobby casket .ind one hundred
hack?, eh, Mr. Muffins? Must make
big thing of it. The cuss left lots of
money, and remember he was to he
your Prison la's husband. Must
make a .splurge. Mr. Muffins' paid
the worthy undertaker, with an eye
to his own pocket.
Well, I don't mind i? ihe coffin is
a little nobby looking; but one bun
dled hacks! The deuce 1 dust send
one or two for Ihe mourners, and
the rest who come lo attend Ihe
luneial can I'urni-h their own rigs
oi In. oi it, v. Iiiclii-vvt hits ihem."
Thev covered m luce again and
left me to my own reflections. I
had often heard it remarked that
meditation was good-for the s0ul,
and this wa the besl chance I ever
had of trying it.
An hour must have passed, and the
door was again opened, and two
persons came whispering along to
where I lay, and the voice of my
promised wife fell on my ear.
I dread to look at him, Mr. How
ard, he was o homely when living,
he must be frightful when dead."
I ground my teeth iu rage as 1 re
membered how often she had gone
into raptures, or pretended to, over
my noble brow and expressive
mouth, and would solemnly declare
thai if I were taken from her she
i WOI'l(l enter a convent, take llie veil
and never mot o behold the sun.
; ,. ... , .. , .. .
One of llipm raised the clntli ; 1
i know (kv wero lookiii" at me.
' Howard was the chap she was5)Oon -

"Seems to me you don't feel very

Well, to fell the truth, said my,
betrothed. "I don't care verv much
about it. If he had lived I suppose
I should have married him, because
he was rich ; but I was getting about
ick of my bargain, for 1 knew 1
should always be ashamed of him.'
"But on loved him," remarked
Howard.
,:Xo, I didn't ! My affections were
wasted long ago on one who never
returned my love." And my fast
fading idol sighed heavily. They

"About the time I went away?'
interrupted the cautious Howard,
coughing a little.
'Well, ves, about that length of!
time,'' assented my dear affianced.
t '-Xow. Miss Mii-Miif-Mnffins
yon oh! you don't mean to insinu
ate that, T-I-l, oh ! oh ! oh ! too much
bliss am the lucky"
"I don't mean to insinuate any
thing, Mr. Howard ;" and the angel
ic sweefno-s oi her voice became
somewhat metallic.
"Xow, see here Pris-pris-cilla
oh! let me call you by that melodi
ous name. 3ee here! 1 always lov
ed you ; not for your beauty, but for
your artles-noss ; 'pon my soul I did,
and would have proposed to you
only I heard you were engaged to
the chap that is stretched there."
"Oh! Mr. Howard!" said Mrs.
Smith that was to he. giving a little
squeal.
"Don't Mr. Hon aid me. If you
return my afleclion you miM call
me by some pet name. Call me
Harry; call me Lovey ; but for
heaven's sake don't Mr. Howard
me, my own Priscilla!" said How
ard, in a quivering voice. Then I
heard a movement of feet, accom
panied by a loud lip explosion.
Moses! how mad I got! I tried to
kick or grate my teeth, but never a
kick or a grate could I raise. I was
obliged to grin and bear il. Bear it
I had lo ; but grin I couldn't.
Soon my company left, and I was
igain entertained by my own pleas-'
ant thoughts, until I again felt the
cloth gently removed from my face.
A soft warm palm was laid on my
forehead, and Ihe low, sweet voice
of Minnie lfivers whispered well,
no matter what.
"Night came so did the neighbors
to my wake, and from two old
crones who sat near me I learned to
my honor that I was lo bs buried
next day.
'Of course you are coming to ihe
funeral to-morrow, Mrs. Frizzle
baiuii ?" said one of them.
-Oh! dear, yes, surely. 1 hope it
may turn out u line day, for I want
to enjoy the ride to the cemetery."
I then lost consciousness, and the
nevt 1 heard was the grating voices
ol Prisoil Io, my fiancee, and her
mother. Apparently tnev were
brushing, dusting and giving ihe
room a general Hckinr op before
the funeral.
"Is Howard to be one of the pall
hearers?" asked Ihe voice of my
mother-in-law that might have been.
"He would be gladly, but he hasn't
a suit of black clothes," said my
sweetesl.
"Why, Priscilla ! my child, don't
you remember Smith's black broad
cloth; the suit is brand new. I
know it will fit Howard. Call him
in, he's sitting in the kitchen, and
let him try them on."
Xow, this black suit was a partic
ular tavorite of mine, a perfect fit,
thai set my person off to great ad
vantage, and it made my blood boil
to hear ihpin talk so coolly of trans
fprriiio it lo my lival, to be worn at
my own tuneral. i was getting very
mad now. I felt Ihe crisis was near,
and thai I should either die or ex
plode if they meddled with my black
suit. Priscilla look it down from
the peg I know it, for I heard the
buckles jingle and made for the
door. I tried to shake my fist, and
yell at her, but nil in vain, and there
I lay outwardly calm as a lamb, my
inwards boiling with wrath. It was
too much ! The deepest trance could
not have held out against that suit;
with a powerful effort I sprang up
and howled. Priscilla dropped my
clothes, her mother the duster, and
both bounded out of the room
squealing like shot rabbits. With
difficulty I managed to get my
clothes, and had just got inside of
my panls when Mrs. Muffins and her
I
daughter. Iieaded h' the undertaker,
peered in at the door, a motley com- ,
pany of women and sinulty-faced ,
children stood in Iheir rear. Such J
sacred-looking owls: enough to
' amue a dead man. So I laughed.
It was not very becoming; but I

me, and lold her to wait next lime

meddled with my clothes.
"Oh! I'm so glad!" she said,
I sweetly, without appearing lo notice
what I said about my clolhes, "'that
you are not dead, dear. My heart
seemed withered and broken to see
you lying so cold and while. I
wept bitterly over your poor, antrel

"Oh! yes, so you did. I heard
you and Howard take on .-it a furi

for me, my ducky."
"Could von hear'" she gasped.
I rather think I could," I replied.
"So good-by, my noble girl ; you can
have the pleasure of calling Howard
all the pet names you can lay your
tongue to." She made a bee-line for
the open door, and her pull-back was
the last I ever saw of her, and I hear
she still lives a life of single blessed
ness. As I am writing this piece a
quiet lift lo figure steals to my side,
and a soft white hand, which sends
a thrill of pleasure to my heart, is
laid lovingly on my shoulder; yes,
the hand of Minnie Rivers, now
Minnie Smith, my wife.

The Exeter News-Letter e:iys:
" For farmers and those who live in
localities where people can retire at
eight or nine o'clock in the evening,
the old notion about early rising is
still appropriate. 15ut he who is
kept up until ten or eleven or
twelve o'clock, and then rises at five
or six, because of the teachings of
some old ditty about ' early to rise,'
commits a sin against his own soul.
There is not one man in ten thous
and who can afford to do without
seven or eight hottrs'sleep. All the
stuff written about great men who
sleep only three or four hours' a
night is apochphal. They have
been put upon such small allowan
ces occasionally and prospered ; but
no man ever kept healthy in body
and mind for a number of years
with less than seven hours' sleep.
" If you can get to bed early, then
rise early; if you cannot get to bed
till late, then rise late. It may be as
proper for one man to rise at eight as
it is for another to rise at five. Let
the rousing bell he rung at least
thirty minutes before vour public
appearance. Physicians say that
a .sudden jump out of bed gives ir
regular motion of Ihe pulse. It
takes hours to get over sudden ris
ing. It is barbarous to expect chil
dren lo laud on the center of Ihe
floor al Ihe call of their nurses.
Give us lime after you call us to
roll over, gaze at ihe world full iu
the face, and look before we leap."
There m a vein of sense in the
above, though we think, on the
whole, the old adage " early to bed
and early to rise" is most in accord
ance with nature, and so far as pos
sible we should live on this plan.
Especially should the young form
the habit of going to bed early.
"When the' do this they enjoy get

crawling out after nine o'clock.

The bone cave at Shandon, near
Dmig.irvaii in the county of Water
ford, accidentally discovered some
twenty years ago was the first Irish
cave which produced animal remains
belonging to the pleistocene period.
In it were found remains of the
mammoth horse, bear wolf and rein
deer. Another cave has recently
been discovered near Cappoquin, ut
a distance of about seven miles from
the Shandon cave. This new cavern
is of large .size, and appears to have
been occupied at a very remote
period by bears, portion, of whoso
-keletotia are to be met with iu the
lower deposit? of tho Uoor; but the
chief iuteiest in this discovery rests
in the fact that reihains of the great
Irish elk (Megacerob IIiheruicii?e)
were found in it. in conjunction with
the bones of other deer and of benr?,
and along with a polished greeustoue
celt (neolithic) and several stone
rubbers. There were also some re
markable and sionj evidences met
with of the association of man with
the great Irish elk, for Prof. Leilh
Adams, in whose presence these re
mains were taken out of the cave,
and by whom they were packed up
for further observation, say that
many of tho bones of the mogicerog
were evidently split for their mar
row and several elk cannon bones
were found fashioned into awls and
gaujres, showing thai man was not
only cotemporaneotis with the giant
stag of Ireland, but also may have in
some measure helped to exterminate
it. The explorations of this cave are
still going on, and they promise to
open out a new era in Ihe prehistoric
history of Ireland.

Cody is fhe Kit Carson of the Cen
tral Western border. Horn iu Ne
braska, his pare nts moved to Kansas
during the bloody day? of the free
soil struggle, and his earliest recol
lections are of Missouri jnyhawker-,
who were trailing his father because
of his anti-shivery opinions. When
twelve years of age he made his first
trip across the plain, a a cnvailard
rider, and while the train was out it
was attacked by Indians on the
South Platte and during the run
ning light the boy distinguished
himself by killing one of the red assailants-.
Prom that time on his ci
rcer was decided and Ift became u
plaiustnau iu all that the word then
implied. As a hunter and a scout he
soon became famous, and of the
knights of our border iu those dayn
of excitement and bloodshed none
were more prominent than Cody. It
was while the Kaiias Pacific was
being constructed that he acquired
the name of- liuflhlo Bill." At that
time the Indians were vory trouble
some, and great difficulty was ex
perienced in gelling fresh meat for
the workmsn. Accordingly God
dard Brothers a-ked Cody iu Hayes
City to huiir for them, and he ac
cepted the employment offered.
During the eighteen months he w.h
engaged in this capacity he killed 4,
20 buffalo, and the name, by which
he is most generally known was
given him. Later ou, during tin'
Iudian campaigns of the Northwest,
ho gained the reputation of being
one of the most reliable men in the
government employ, and Gen. Sher

book, appointed him chief of tho

which followed he played r. very

Civility I a. Fortune.
Civility is in itself a fortune, for a
courteous man always succeeds in
life, even when persons of greater
ability sometimes fail. The famous
Duke of Marlborough is a cuse in
point. It was said of him by a co
temporary, that hi3 agreeable man
ners often converted an enemy into
a friend; and by another, that It
was more pleasing to be denied n
favor by his grace, than to receive
one from other men. The mauners
of Charles James Fox preserved him
from personal dislike, even at a time
when he was politically the most
unpopular man in the kingdom.
The history of our country is full of
examples of succcss obtained by
civility. The experience of every
man furnishes, if he will but recall
the past, frequent instances where
conciliatory manners have made the
fortunes of professional men, poli
ticians, merchants, and, indeed, In
dividuals of all pursuits. On being
introduced to a stranger, his affabil
ity, or the reverse, creates instan
taneously a prepossession In his
behalf, or a prejudice against him.
To man, civility is, in fact, what
beauty is fo woman a general pass-
port to favor, a letter of rccomraen
tlation, wrffTeTrin a language that
every stranger understands. The
best of men have often injured
themselves by irritability and con
sequent rudeness, as the greattut
scoundrels have frequently succeed
ed by their plausible maimers. Of
two men, equal in all other respect,
the courteous one ha twice the
chance for success.
