To be sudden! B matched away from the light of day, from ¥ the pleasant companionship of the fleecy # douds, the green fields spangled with flow- P ors, the golden wheat, the fantastically {§ changing embankments-now geological, now floral, now rocky, now chalky ;ithe 3 hills, the valleys, and the winding streams ; the bigh mountains in the distance that % know they are the emperors of the land- 2 seape, and so wear purple robes right im- 'J perially ; to be hurried from all these into pitching obscurity seem to me poetical in the extreme. It is like death in the midst af life, a sudden suspension of vitality-the gloom and terror of the grave pouncing like abhawk upor the warmth and cheerfulness of life, Many an' ode, many a ballad could § echoes, the clanging of wheels, the strzi’nge f. voices that seem to make themselves heard @ a the train rushes through the tunnel-now * & in] passionate supplication, now in fierce anger and lowd invective,now in an infornal 3 chorus of fiendish mirth and demoniacal exultation, no w in a loud and long-continued 4 though inarticulate sersech-a meaningless bowl like the ravings of a madman. There is something grand, there is something spic ; there is something really sublime in the grad- ual melting away of the darkness into light; inthe decadence and total eclipse and the glorious restoration of the sun to his golden tights again. The daylight becomes itiguous, like dew, upon the steam from the tunnel, the roofs of the carriages, the brickwork sides of the tunnel itself,. But rothing is defined, nothing fixed ; all the shapes are irresolute, fleeting, confused, g like tho events in the memory of an old g man. The tunnel becomes a phantom tube ] -adry Styx-the train seems changed into Charon's boat, and engine driver turns into 'the infornal ferryman. And the end of that awful navigation must surely be Tar- g farus Yqu think so, you fancy yourself 3 in the boat, as Dante and Virgil were in the § divine comedy ; ghosts cling to the sides, @@ vainly repenting, uselessly lamenting ; # Francesco of Rimini floats despairingly by ; 4 far of miligled with the rattle of wheols, A; are heard the famine wrung moans of iff Cgolino's chinlren.

A SLY JUDGE, The Very Shurp Way Ho Found Out Who at Offender Was. Judgo Jopin was vory angry when he entered the court-room. He kicked a law- yer's dog and trod on a constable's foot in the blindness of his rage. No one under- stood why the old man oxhibited such ill- humor. He was known all over the country as a genial, wholo-souled fellow, and the lawyers who made their living at his bar, looked at the old man in surprise. The judge took his seat,and for a moment seemed to be revolving in his mind the wheel of a serious problem. At last he louked up and asked : > f 'Does anybody chew tobacco in this court-roum 1\ No one replied. \ I mean doos anybody in this court-room chew tobacco ? lhe educated gentlemen who are present will please excuse my rhetorical error. No- budy chews tobaccot I am much disap- puinted. I did not want a chew, for I d» nut mascicate the weed. I have just been presented with some tobacco, and, as I do not want it myself I desire to give it to some one who does want it.\ \I chow, your honor,\ said a lawyer, who, fearing that the judge tas begging, had hithorto sefrained from making himself known. *Does any one elso in the court-room chew 1\ asked the junge,. \ I believs not,\ said the lawyer. \ You aro the only one, then #\ \I think I am.\ \ Well, I want you. Just now as I came up the steps, a quid of tobscco came down the stairway, 'and ' spat ' it took me over the eye.

A Crime in Boston Attended with Strange Circumstances. A fow days since Mrs. C&rleton, a lady in the suburbs of Roston, was called to her door, and a few minutes afterwards was found by her little girl lying At the foot of the stairs in a pool of blsod. She never recovered to reveal hor assailant; but on the strength of the testimony given by a mulatto named Clark, in regard to the con- duct of another one named Conliff, with whom Clark boarded, bor husband and Con- liff aro under arrest. Clark said that Carle ton some tims a!!!) promised Conliff $850 to chlorofcerm asomebody ; that on the night of the murder Conliff told Clark that ho had | got his money, and acknowledged having committod the deed, and described his trip to Watertown. Carleton hired a team and drove out and met Conliff. Going to the house after dark, Conliff tied the end of a ball of twine to his waist and wont to the door, Carleton remaining on the opposite side with the other ond of the string to sig- nal hint if any one approached, The mur- der was committed, the string rolled up,and thog returned to Boston,. The police do not belicveo the string story, and declare that Carleton has demonstrated beyond a doubt that ho was in Boston whon the murder was committed. 'They thik the story an effort on Clark's part to secure the very large re ward offered for the murder. ' *Among the ladios who may read this there may be sevoral sickly ones who havs made up their minds to act on the old saw which specifies that \ what can't be cured must bo endured.\ While tke truth of the old proverb is self-ovident, it is just possible they may have erred in judgment as to the possibilities of the healing art outside of the Snuthwick | medical profession, and before giving up in de-pair they had better test the efficacy of Mrs. Lydia E.

Thore is a nan living in East New York who was born whon tho declaration of American independance was but two years old and New York comparatively a village. His name is John Nelhoff,s Dutchman by birth, and ho was a resident of. New York up to gix years ago. Tho record of John's exam- ple will be somewhat of astumbling block to temporance lecturors and Sunday-school teachers, for tho old man has been a drinker and invateigio smokor for nearly 100 yours. His ago is . Neiboff is am inmate of the Wartburg komo for the aged and infirm, a worthy institution supported by the Luther- an churches of tho motropolis. .It washore that a reportor saw him recently. As the reporter was introduced the centenarian got up and insisted upom the reporter taking the arm chair in which the veteran had been seated. Nsihoff, whoso wospErrUL - is vouched for by his son, himself orer eighty years of ago, and a groat grand- daughtér, isa a small man, but a trifle over fire feot tall, with an unmistakable teutonic cast of featuros. Though permauently crippled from a wound he received during the campaigns of the Freuch revolution he still walks without a cane. His oyesight is good, requiring no glasses, and his head is covered with a thick growth of straight, coarse, white hair, which he wears cut short. His appetite is good, his digestion perfect and he enjoys tho best of health afd gpirits. When asked what ho was in the habit of bating his answer was, \ Everything that cames along.\ The reporter's conversation with the contenarian was carried on principally in German, as Neihoff has quite forgoften film English language, although he formerly spoke it very well. In answer to questions put by the reporter Noihoff said : HE FOTUGHT AT WATERLOO. \*I was born at Appeltern, in Holland. * qty fatber was a paper manufacturer. At eighteen years of ogo I ontered the army and served six yoars. Then I wont intq the paper making business, not with my father, but with another man. When Napoleon came back from Russia I was forced into tho army. I served three years, most of the time in Belgium. Our last battle wasat Waterloo. When I loft the army I went to Germany. I got married there to Helmina Burger.

He did not remember ever henringe of Kag William, of Prussia, Napoleon III. or Quosn Victogina. When asked if he know the name of the present president of the United States he answered with a smile aad A BHAKE OF THE HEAD, as if to say, \ Of course, I couldn't be ex- pected to know that,\ \Have you ever heard of Goneral Grantt'\' \ I've heard the namo, but I don't know who or what ho was.\ C \ Did you'grer hear of Poter Cooper 1\ 66 No.|' % \ Did you ever hear of Heury Ward Beecher t\ Yes; but he did not discover America.\ \ How long have you been a smoker !\ *\ All my life.\ 5 \\ How much do you smoke now !\ \It depends upon how much tobacco I have.

' '\ It's time for his coffee, and he's gore for it,\ explained one of the aged man's younger confreres, who added, \ go down with bim and tako a cup yourself, It's vory good coffees.\ i overtook the centsenarian just as he was entering the kitchen door, His cup of coffee WAS ON THE TABLE waiting for him, He walked stnfighc up to it, poured it down and walked out again. Mrs, tho kindly matron, suit} : ** John is a very good boy now, and gives us as little trouble as any one in the fagfly. Ho is always cheerful and contented. He used to be a very bad boy. He would go out if} the streets aud take vory long walks, coming back all tired out,. Then his feet would trouble him.\ ¢ The centenarian, who had been lingering near the door overhearing the conversation, turned and looked in, his face being wreathed with smiles. He has never bean on a steam railroad nor on a steamboat, He bas noidea of such modern institutions ¢ the steam engine and the telegraph. They have all come in \ since his time,\ Said aman on his way to be hanged : \ There'll be no fan till I get there.\ We say to tha dyspeptic, nervous and debili- tated, don't hurry thoughtlessly for some remedy of doubtful morit, uncertain of relief, when you can get at the druggists for $1 Burdock Blood Bitters, almost cortgin to cure snd sure to benefit. $ At this stago of the interview the centen- .
