There was a catbird singing in the maples. Kitty wished that—just for awhile—she oould be that catbird, and dwell in a glori- fied region of green leaves, where churning, whitewash pails and quiltiag-bees, were un- known. She knew that even now the scarlet pop- pies were nodding along the stone walls like tiny soldiers, the wild-roses opening in soli- tary nooks, the strawberries ripening in fragrant wood-openings on the hilL As these tempting thoughts passed across >r mind, sno hoard Aunt Joan's shrill voioe at the back door, talking to some ono. ••Apainter, _r aid she. \Oh yes, you're welcome to a drink of water.

Benediok oam« to Ban Fmnda. ao in September, 1680, suffering from chili* and fever. He accepted an offer to go to Honolulu to do \ light work \ on a planta- tion for $24 a month. Ho was to return to in Franoifloo when he pleased. Judge, than, of bis surprise when, on ar- riving at Honolulu, he was informed, in common with his companions of voyage, that he was under a contract for two years. Along with his companions, Benediok was marched down to the landing, shipped on board a small steamer, and taken to Pahala Kan. The offioe of the plantation was five miles up from the shore, and when he ar- rived there he was shown for the first time the oontraot. By its terms be found him- self bound to labor for one year, counting twenty-six: working days in each month, and paid at the. rate of twelve dollars a month. It ia also stated that he agreed to live on fish and rice, and was, in retnrn, to be provided with house room while at work. The document was an infamous forgery, of oourse, and Benediok vehemently repudiat- ed It. All the satisfaction be received In reply was that the contract was there black and white; that he would find tbe task of disproving ita authenticity no aaaj one, and that for his future comfort it would be well for him to make a virtue out of ne- ty and go to work. He took the *dvloe with a mental reservation that he would ••capo a« soon aa possible. It was on Friday night when the plantation Was reach- ed, and ho was Informed by the manager (GOodell) that until Monday ha eotild \lay Off \ and make himself acquainted with hit home. He was oondnoted to tho slave quarters and found them to be a two story house, the lower floor devoted to cooking purpoaea and the upper nsed aa a dormitory.

These allow them to be raptured by: the blood pressure wbioh tho beating of! the heart causes, bjit especially when the heart is unusually excited. The blood may trickle out from numeron* pin-bead enlargement of the capillaries, or be poured from large tup. tares. Generally a postmortem shows roundish dots, averaging the ciuftrf a mar- ble, in the oentres of wbioh are tho mlnato openings ot the ruptured 1 arteries. ' The most common aeat of 4h« nemorrhage in tbe vicinity of tbo \basal ganglia\— great nerve centres specially related tarna- tion and sensation. The dot may be (1) absorbed, (2) become surrounded with a sac (cyst), gradually un- dentfatty degeneration, and be absorbed In about two yean ;*(8) may ^inflame tbe adjacent brain subatonoa, and give riaa.to the softening of the latter; (4) may cause degeneration of the nerves and give rise to atrophy, or decay of the brain, resulting in complete imbecility. In the first and second oases reooTery may take place. The tendency to senile apoplexy begins after about forty* and Increases with the ad- vanoeofaga. Ths predisposing causes may be degeneration of the cerebral arteries, en- largement of the heart and softening of the ^-rain. Tbe tendency to degeneration of the arteries, and thus to apoplexy, may be hereditary. Men ara more liable to it than len. OoW weather disposes'lto it. An attaok may be brought on by whatever stimulates the heart—exoitement, running, over-exertion, Improper^ food, alcoholic liquon, or by a ooM bath which forces the blood in from the snrfua. The attaok may oome on'either with or without premonitory symptom*. Some \of the latter are k*s ti nrenao sp«eoh, stupor, a feeling of weight, or pricking. It may Be ao alight as to be only a momentary unconsciousness. The Olde/ahd moro f sable the patient, the greater the danger. Evsn if he reoovera, thore ia some loss of mental power.

A few days ago a flash yoang man from l Eastern college arrived at Tombstone, Arizona, and registered his name at the principal hoteL A socially inclined person in a blue shirt and wide-rimmed hat, who chanced to be in the o_ce, good-naturedly answered every question and volunteered a vast amount of interesting ioformation about Arizona in general and Tombstone particular. \ Do you see them hills ?\ _ked the Tombstoner pointing through one of the office windows. \ Well, them bills is ohock full of pay dirt.\ Tbe young man from the East looked shocked. \My dear sir,\ he said, proudly, but kindly, \you should say those hills are—not, them hills is I\ The Tombstoner was silent for a moment He looked tbe young man from the East critically over as if he wan estimating the size of coffin he would wear. Then draw- ing out an ivory-stocked seven-shooter of elaborate style and finish, he said in a soft, \ musical tone of voioe that sounded like a wildwood brook coursing o'er its peb ble bed: \ My gentle unsalted tenderfoot from tbe land of the rising sun, this here' a pint that yon and me disagrees on and w might as well nave it setUed^right now.

JOHN'S RIVER IN FLORIDA. The eemWropioal scenery of the lower St. Johns is written up and painted up annually and may be found painted and engraved,; in every \ winter tourists' guide\ or \Florida land circular.\ Above Lake Monroe, how- ever the river narrows rapidly and is as tortuous as the trail of the old serpent through sinful earth. For twenty-flve miles below Poinsett it passes through prairie marsh, overgrown with saw-grass and studded with islands of palmetto and moss-grown live oak. The level landscape dips away in the hori- son, as though verging to the final jumping, off plaoe, and the Bt. John dwindles in proportions an til it reminds one of the Arkansas turnpike which a wayfarer traced jltttil it turned into a squirrel track and ran ap a tree. Its channel is so narrow and crooked that a high wind sweeping the prairie is a serious Impediment to navigation. There are those living who remember how upon one oocasion a fierce norther set tba ••earner Volusia upon a point in a oritioal passage, and how aU the brains and physical strength of a distinguished Florida land- owner and of a number of Philadelphia offioa-bolders and politicians were required for hours in aid of the deck-hands to start her on oer winding way. The channel is deep, however, averaging from eight to twelve feet, and the rivor flows with a cur- rent fainy atroug. Along ita bank the alligator bankx and Waterfowl abound, tbe heron and ibis make ni K bt vocal, and black- birds moadow-larkH and other Northern birds, gone Bonth in pursuit of h'-allh, flock to- gether in tho adjacent inorulnws.
