LOVE NEOOTTEN IN A SNOM DRIFT. File Iteinarkable Wooing of a Kansas Ma id in AVhieh a Snow Plough Assisted. “Speaking of marriages,” said the Congregational minister, “one of the briefest | and most exciting courtships on record i xvas that of an acquaintance of mine xvho found his wife in Kansas. It was in the winter of 1878-79, and the fall of snow was phenomenal in that section. Beginning with Christmas, there was good sleighing for five weeks, and huge drifts cc • jred the prairies for much longer. The snow had entirely stopped trains on the Kansas City, Burlington and Santa Fe Road, and across a section of country known as the French Ridge the farmers had been using the cut made through the hills by the railroad company as a short and extremely good roadway to town. “Long after the snow had melted from the dirt highway teams were driven down this valley, and one night this young man of xvhom 1 speak, took a neighbor girl out for what threatened to be the last sleigh ride of the season. They had never met half a dozen times in their lives, but that did not seriously embarrass them, aud they drove down the railway track on the well-beaten snow. It happened the railroad company had secured an immense snow plough with which they meant that night to open the road from Ottawa to Burlington. They had two engines behind it, and came thundering down to French Ridge at a great rate, aud the couple in the sleigh heard with dismay the roar and clang of the huge machine behind them. “The little ravine between the hills was too narrow to allow them to turn out, aud there was nothing for it but to run. So the horses were urged to the highest speed, and the sleigh went tearing over the snoxv with the monster behind, and gaining every instant. Os course, the engineer could see nothing ahead through the tossing mass of snoxv, aud certainlx did not expect anything alone on that desolate plain, especially after nightfall. All that horseflesh could do was invoked, but it xvas not enough, for right at the deepest place in the cut the great plow struck them, tossing team, sled, and shrieking riders high into the air. They landed, in a mass more or less confused, high up the bank, with snow about them so thick they could not fall ba> k on the track. As the train rushed past, the horses Hduudered out and pulled away the fragments of the sled. Ihe young woman stood up, shook the snoxx' from her muff, which she had unconsciously kept in her hand, pushed her way to the bare railroad, and said, calmly: ‘Well, xve can walk home!' “A viexx so philosophic in view ot the reiuirkable loss they hud suffered quite won the young man's heart. He also waded out of the snowdrift, waded out to where she stoo I, and put the question direct; “ ‘Will you m ;r;y nw‘ • “ ‘l'll think about,' responded the heroine; and she did, with the result of niilly accepting th«*young man, collapsed sleigh and ah. They live in Kansas City now. and told me last winter when 1 visited their pastor that they never had a moment's reason to regre. the sleigh ride, the tossing received at the hands of the snow-plow, or the informal nnumr in which their destinies were unite I.” i'h : - ca<jo Hcraltl. Wonderful Human Mechanism. Science, siys Sr James Paget, will supply the natural man with wonders uncounted. The auth; r had once beard Mlle. Janotha play a presto by Mendelssohn. She played notes in four minutes and three seconds. Every one of these notes involved ceitiin movements of a finger, at least two, and many of tuem nix oived an additional movement laterally as well as those up and down, '('hey also inxolxed^repeated movements of the wrists, elbows, and arms, altogether probably not less than on* 1 movement for each note. Therefore, th-, re were three distinct movements for each note As there Were twenty-four notes per second, and each of these notes involved three distinct musical movements, thst amounted to seventy-two moxements in each second. Moreover, each of those notes was determined by the xvill to a caosen place, w th u certain force at a cert»in time aud with a certain duration. 'Jherefote there were four distinct qualities in each of the sev-enty-two movements in each second. Such wire the transmissions outward. And u l those were conditional on consciousness of the position of eacti band and each finger before it was moved, and by moving it of the sound and the force of each touch. Therefore, there were three conscious sensations for every note. There were seventv-two transini-sionS per second. 144 to mid fro, aud those with constant change of quality. And then, added to that, all the time the memory was remembering each note in its due time aud place, and was exercised in the comparison of it with oth rs that came before. So that it would be fair to say that there were not less than 209 transmissions of nerve force to and from the brain outward and inward every second, and during the whole of that time judgment xvas being exercised as to whether the music was being played better or worse titan before, and the mind xvas conscious of some of the motions which the music was intended to inspire. — Popular Science Monthly.

Nothing in her conduct bad excited especial attention among the passengers. Suddenly she rose aud quietly removed one of her garters, and jumping across the aisle slid it over a gentlemans wrist.

AH Attack ot Nihil Fit. A bcH-suffii.’ieut regular, who took the 1 1 business of a physician and pretended to ! a deep knowledge of the healing art, was j called to visit a young man afflicted with ; apoplexy. Bolus gazed long and fixedly, I i felt his pulse and pockets, and finally • gave vent to the following sublime opin--1 ion: “1 think he’s a gone feller.” “No, no!” exclaimed the sorrowful wife, “do not say that.” “Yes,” returned Bolus, lifting his hat 1 and eyes heavenward at the same time, j “Yes, I do say so; there ain’t no hope, not the least mite; he’s got an attack of nihil fit in his lost front is. ” “Where?” cried the startled wife. “In his lor.t frontis, and he can’t be cured without trouble and a g r reat deal of pains. You see, his whole planetary system is deranged.

It's well-known that the press teems with* advertisements of sarsaparillas and other liver, blood and lung remedies, for which great claims are m:uk. They are generally represented as sure cures. But there is one medicine, and only cap. the claims for which as a cure for all lingering diseases arising from Torpid Liver or Biliousness, or from impure blood, are backed up by a positive guarantee ! If it don't do just as represented in every case, the money paid for it is promptly refunded. This peculiar method of business, it will readily be seen, would bankrupt the manufacturers of the ordinary medicines in the market. Only a marvelously efficacious medicine, containing the most positive curative properties, could sustain itself under such trying conditions as these. This peculiar medicine sells beyond all others throughout the civiMjei world. And why should it not? ‘‘Talk is cheap.” but when it's backed up by u positive guarantee, by a house of long established reputation, for honesty. integrity and sound financial standing, then words mean business! And that’s just what the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. Y„ mean in guaranteeing their Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to do all that it is recommended to do. or refund the price paid for it. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery checks the frightful inroads of Scrofula, and, if taken in time, arrests the march of Consumption of the Lungs, which is Lung-scrofula, purities and enriches the blood, thereby curing all 8 kin and Scalp Diseases, I leers.
