^ - y. 4 An Old Man's Valentine. "Give me a valentine, Youth"? And thoold nan's cheeks were aglow, Though a staff was in his hand And his hair was white as snow? " Give me a valentine?something nice The girl I love is beyond?a price. " One of the old-fashioned kind, All sweet with the perfume of flowers; With dear little simple rhymes, And two lovers in rosy bowers, With a timid hope and a thought of tears. That has hflfin mv stvle for fiftv vears. "This one will suit her, I think. Her eyes, as those blessoms, are blue, White as these lilliesher hair, Like this dove, she is tender and true. Just such a valentine?smiles and fears? As I've sent her now for fifty years. " No need for laughing, young man ! But laugh when you're seventy years old, If the girl you love to-day Is beloved of you seventy fold, Laugh if you've had, through fifty years strife, The wonderful joy of a faithful wife. " Send her a valentine then, As I'm sending my wife to-day.; Send her ono every year, For that is a true lav^r's way. God give_vo.aT-??afg: man, a wife like mine, ^^Andjooll send her, I know, a Valentino !" LOSS OR GAIN ? An old gentleman, leaning forward Vitli his hands clasped over a goldy headed cane, was seated in a summerhouse situated upon the grounds of a hotel at a fashionable watering-place. He was in a corner hidden by drooping vines, and his face expressed deep and apparently painful thought. The refrain of his sad musing was, " Only one person i?i the whole world to love me, and I shall lose even that love now !" On-the other side of the eurumerhouse, divided from the side the old gentleman occupied by a rustic parti tion, two ladies, young and fair, rustled in, and taking out some fancy work, settled down for a chat. One was tall and dressed in a pretty costume that was at once youthful and matronly; the other was petite, blonde, and not more than eighteen. Mrs. .n i-l 1 vuuxtitvuci uiovi ** Embroidery, Alice ?'' she said. " A handkerchief comer. For your trousseau ?" "Yes;" and the sweet voice faltered, while a burning blush crimsoned the ',/* fair cheek. " Is it not pretty ?" "Yery. I want to talk about yonr prospects, child. Your Aunt Mary tells me you are making a splendid match." "Did she? I think so, Blanche. Malcolm is so noble and good !" "But your aunt tells me he is the favorite nephew of the great merchant, Hubert Bates, whose wealth is something enormous. You have only to nelp Him play his cards well and he will probably be heir to a magnificent fortune. But what ails you ? You look as if I was telling you a piece of news." " I think aunt Mary has been misinformed; that is all." " Then he is not Mr. Bates' nephew ?" "I never heard him speak of a rich uncle, and I am quite sure "he has no hope of inheriting money. He has a good salary, and my little fortune will furnish a small house ; so we can make 2? a comfortable and, I hope, a happy home ?" " Did he never speak [to you of his unole ?" "Not of a rich uncle. He had told me of a lame uncle, his mother's brother, who has been very kind to him, given him his education and a start in the world. He always talks of him with the deepest love and pity." "Pity ?" "He suffers tortures from the effects of a fall that Imh lamed him for life and often causes him weeks of agonizing ^ pain. Malcolm tells me with tears in nis eyes of his fear of losing this friend." " I wonder if it is the same 1" murmured Mrs. Courtland. "Tell me, Blanche, Borne of the best places to go for oar furniture and carpete. It will be new work for me to buy household goods, and Aunt Sophy is not well enough to help me much." "Oh, 1 will go with you. But I declare, if I were you, I would wait and Bee if your Aunt Mary is right. Your fortune will never buy or fnrnish such a house as a future millionaire should live in." " My fortune," said Alice Hunter, Trith a ring in her clear voice, "will furnish a house suitable for a bank clerk with five hundred a year salary, which is what my husband will have. If Mnloolin has a rich uncle he is not the man to live in expectation of money to come to him over a grave. If his uncle Hubert is, as you say, very rich, Malcolm would hate money won by the death of the nearest, relative and dearest friend he has. But I don't believe in the money, for he never spoke of it to me." Then the talk drifted into discussion of bridal finery, of furniture and stories of the young wife's content in. her own married life. But the old man leaning upon the cane was thinking : " Can it be truo ? Does Malcolm think so little of my money that will be his, that he has never even mentioned it to his promised wife? Can it be that I shall gain a loving, tender neice, inBtead of losing my nephew when Malcolm marries?" Loving his nephew so deeply, Hubert Bates had felt a keen pain attlie news of his betrothal. He had never seen Alice Hunter, but he knew she had been * i-i - ? - -e f->L: urougui. up iu a uiruxo ui lu&uiuu imu was the orphan niece of one of society's ? gayest votaries, Mrs. Mary Haydon. : While he mused upon the conversation he had overheard, the silvery voices of his young neighbors still . sounding beside him, there was a sud; den crash. Something struck him upon the head, and he lost consciousness. Ories from the summer house, from ' groups of people collected in the grounds brought a party of men speedily to the spot. The rotten posts T supporting the roof upon one side had given way and the sMe and roof had fallen in. Mrs. Courtland and Miss * ; Hunter were buried under the fallen * timbers, the doorway being completely bloobaded, but were uninjured. Not so the old gentleman, who had been ;. _ their unsuspected listener. He was (' t .ken out pallid and senseless. Nobody knew him. He had come by ; the morning train, had taken breakfast, but no room, and asked the hour for the return train. A surgeon, summoned as speedily as possible, announced a broken ^? arm and injury to the head, making a likelihood of a long, tedious illness. There was some animated discussion, r some suggestions of hospital, a search 5 t through the pockets of the unoonscious * victim, resulting in the discovery of a ' small sum of money, but no letters, papers or cards ; and finally a desertion of one and another, eaoh going his or her way, with the consoling reflection -1 Tit 1 ; >9 "Ai s iiouts ui my uuBiuesij. Bat when they bad all deserted tbe injured man the surgeon, still busy . ' binding ap his arm as he lay upon a . bench brought from a rained Bummer' bouse, felt a light touch on his hand and looked up. "Can I help you?" Alice Hunter asked. "No child, not now." " What will they do with him ? " " I suppose he mu6t go to a hospital?" ? "But tbe ride? the journey? " ' "Will cause great additional suffer? '"ing, perhaps result in death." "Doctor, will they keep him here if he is paid for ?" " Certainly ; but there is not monej - enough ahont him to pav his board a -* "I will pay it." ' "You?" " Yes; 1 will not let him die for wan! of money I have. He"?and her lips quivered?"he looks like my dear father who is dead." "Hem, yes. Here comes the foliowers to carry him to the station. I thinl vl will bave him taken to the houBe where I board. It will cost less, and be r- . more quiet." Mrs. Courtland declared Alice was outraging the proprieties most dread folly when the young girl went to th< house and offered her services as nurs< to the dootor; but Aunt Sophy silenoec ' all comment by moving her belongings from the hotel to the quiet boardinghouse, and the doctor found he had a valuable assistant. Alice explained, in her quiet, low voice, that her father was ill for nine long months before he died and she was his nurse. This acoounted for the noiseless woolen dresses, the velvetaVirwl frmf fliA rminlr cxta orirl roarl'C hand, and when the sufferer recovered consciousness the gentle voice and tact that quieted him in paroxysms of pain and fever. Aunt Sophy was too much of an invalid herself to help; but she sat bo3ide the bed while Alice moved to and fro, and performs 1 all nursing duties. The invalid had oue long talk with the doctor, and then submitted to the gentle ministration of the two women, only insisting upon a man the doctor provided being with him at night and within call. The season was over, and only these three remained of the summer boarders at the house, when, one cool October day, the sick man, now fast recovering, i called Alice to him. j "I shall soon be well again," he said, | regretfully. "Yes,"sheanswered, cheorily, "very soon." " I shall miss my nurse." " And I my patieDt; but I am glad you are recovering. We were afraid at one time there would be a more painful parting." " You mean I was in danger of dying. Why should that be painful? I am old." She made no answer, looking sorrowfully into his uplifted eyes. " And a burden upon you, the doctor j tells me. Why did you make yourself responsible for a stranger ?*' I The fair face flushed, the soft eyes ! were dewy with feeling, as Alice said j softly: " L'ecftuse you are old and seemed poor rnd friendless. I was glad it was in my power to aid you. Do not think j it was at any great cost," she added, | with a generous desire to lighten the i burden of obligation. "I have some money lying idle." "For* the wedding-day, perhaps. Well, child, you might have poorer I jewels to deck your bridal than an old ! man's tears of gratitude and love. I J am getting well and shall soon leave j you. Will you give me a keepsake ?" The girl loosened a little locket from | a chain round her throat, cut off one of ! her golden curls and put it in the place j of some hairs he took out, and laid the | trinket in the old man's hand. I " With my love," she Baia, soiciy. | "Ah, child!" he sighed, "an old man ; sick and feeble wins little love." "Yet," she said earnestly, "you must believe that I have nnrsed you since you were conscious with affection. My own father is gone, but if ever you want a daughter's care or affection, believe me, I will gladly oome to you if possible." Three days later the house was deserted. Aunt Sophy and Alice returned j to their home, and Alice cheerfully paid i out of her small patrimony for the board j and expensed of her venerable patient, i She little guessed how deep an impression her care and tenderness had ] made upon the heait so long closed j against human affection, so distruthful ! of any advances from his fellow-crea- j tures. It was a revelation to him, this active charity to an utter stranger. He had gone to the hotel merely to see Malcolm's choice and had purposely left all clue to his identity behind him. He had intended meeting Alice, if possible, unknown and watching her unobserved ; but accident had thrown them together in a way he little anticipated. The first use he made of his reoovery was to write to his nephew, and Malcolm met him at the station when he returned home. ; Knowing nothing of the recent acci- j dent, the young man was shocked at the I change in his uncle's face. "You've been ill ?" he cried. " Very ill." " Why did you not send for me?" "I had even better nursing than i vours. Malcolm. Don't ask me any j questions now, but tell mo about your [ I marriage preparations." " Alice has gone home, and will reJ main until November. Then she comes j to Mrs. Haydon's, and will buy her fur| niture." " In November?" " Yes." Late in November she came, her trunks full of Aunt Sophy's presents, and Aunt Mary gave her cordial greeting. A grand wedding was the display upon which the lady had set her heart, ! and Alice shrank a little at the oomments ! upon the rich uncle and her own good ! fortune in the " first-rate match." But just before the wedding day a lit- I tie note was brought to Alice by a gorgeous footman, who was driven to her aunt's behind a private carriage. The note was from Malcolm, and begged her to come to him in the carriage. Wondering, but obedient, Alice was speedily ready, and was driven to a handsome house, where the door was opened to usher her into a stylish drawing room, where a gentleman awaited her, and Malcolm advancing said: "My Uncle Hubert, Alice 1" Kindly blue eyes looked into her own, withered hands were extended and a voice she knew well said: " We are old friends, Malcolm. Are we not, Alice ?" Then, before she could answer, the old man continued: " I have thought, Alice, that it was unkind to have my nephew wait for my death before sharing in my wealth. I have borne a curse - - i w 01 uisrrust 111 lliy ilcaib IUI xuaujr jcaio, thinking my money won me all the affection, save Malcolm's, that was offered me; but, though you were well content to wed the young clerk and put your own patrimony into his home, you must not refuse my heir, wbo has accepted from me an income that makes him independent, and this home." " My love for Malcolm can bear riches or poverty,'" was the answer; " but, sir, our home needs you. You will come, will you not, to the children, who will try to make your lifo happy by loving care? Long before I knew you, Mai colm told me he hoped, when lie had a home, to win yon to live in it. Will yon let me, too, beg of yon to come to us ?" " Gladly, child ! gladly I" the old man said. "I understand now," Alice said to Malcolm, "why you wanted to wait until after the wedding to take our house. Fou wanted to surprise me." "I assure you I am as surprised as j you are, though it was Uncle Hubert ; who persuaded me to wait." So where the rich, lonely man had feared to lose the one love of his life, he gained another tenderer, sweeter love to brighten his declining years by a daughter's devotion and affection.

A Startling Experiment In an lndlanapolli College?New Life Infused Into the Bod; of a Victim or the Hangman. It was after eleven when the professor! of physiology and anatomy, with foui students, came np. The interview las tec some moments, and our reporter gav< such aocurate proofs of a knowledge ol what was up that it ended in his beinp invited to witness some experiments thai were about to be performed to demon strate certain mooted questions regardI ing the physiologv of the brain anc ! smnal cord, as well as the power to re eascitate persons banged or drowned, The diBsecting-rooms?a suit of not verj large rooms?were crowded with narrow red tables, upon which were twenty 01 thirty human bodies in various stagos o) dissection and decomposition. All being ready, we surrounded the tDb, aB the cover was removed, to have a view of the body of the man who, al 12.20, had been declaring his innocence at the jail, and who had fallen through the hangman's trap. The head and I beard had been shaven; the face was not j so swollen and black as when exposed tc : view at the undertaker's in the afterj noon; the hot bath had softened thedis, torted features. All things being ready, the professor : adj asted the head-straps of the Savere apparatusd an commenced drawing upon the cords, which pass over a series oi pulleys at the top of the tripod. The body of the murderer was thus drawn upward at full length by the head, until ! the toes rested in the tub. Instantly j the assistants rubbed the body briskly with coarse towels for two minutes, and then wrapped it, from tho shoulders down, with a warm blanket. "I desire," said the professor, "to reduce the dislocation of tho bones of the neck by this hanging by the head. This man died simply because the second bone of the neck was pulled away from the first, which is like a thin, flat ring, supporting the skull. This second bone has a tooth-like prominence or pivot, upon which the head turns. If this pivot, is pulled out, that is suspending all the vital force which should keep this man alive, the pivot is pressing upon the spinal cord, and that pressure produces paralysis 01 Dreaming, and the heart becomes crowded with clotted blood, and all the machinery becomes stopped." Daring this time the two professors were drawing the body in various directions, and were manipulating the head and neck without succeea The body was then removed to a table and placed upon its faoe, with the arms drawn up under the forehead, when the professor of anatomy, with a narrow chisel, made a gash in the neck where it joins the head, and with two short, quick blows from a mallet split the two upper bones that were pressing upon the cord, like cutting a ring that has become too tight. Then the body was turned upon the back. Taking np the detached nozzle of a large bellows, the professor of physiology proceeded, working and talking at the same time: "Gentlemen, this subject affords an opportunity of showing how far vital actions may be suspended and again restored. All this man's organs are perfect, but all his vital energy is lost. To restore it we must make the heart beat again; the coagulated blood must be removed from the heart cavities; and the lungs must be filled with air." Taking up a sharp knife, the professor cut down the windpipe from what is known as Adam's apple to the hollow over the breast-bone. With a sharp steel hook ho raised the windpipe, split it open, and inserted the nozzle of the bellows, makiDg it fast -with a silver wire aroand tlie pipe. This done, the handle of the bellows was put in charge of an assistant, while the professor took up a long hollow needle or tube, half as large as an old-fashioned knittingneedle. To this he attached, on a head at one end, a rubber tnbe one-quarter of an inch in diameter and three feet long. This was attached at the other tn a nrloon inrnr rflflfliTrflr find t.lifl CX1V4 1/vr w . wa. w, receiver was attached to an air-pump, whicu was to be controlled by another assistant. The professor next placed a gallon jar, containing a mixture of defibrinated sheep's blood and milk in a pail of water, all of which had been heated to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. From the jar (p'nced a little above the table, about five feet distant) ran a rubber tube one-quarter of an inch in diameter, to the end of which was a small siiver tube, with stop-cock attachment. The wires of the battery were now uncoiled, and very delicate platinum-pointed needles were fixed. All this apparatus being arranged and in the hands of the assistant, the professor placed a delicate thermometer before him, and said : "Now, gentlemen, we are ready. Let every action be performed steadily and quickly as 1 direct. I now open the right jugular vein, and permit what blood there is in it to escape. You see by the flowing it is not coagulated, and as I thrust this thermometer into the vein it indicates that we have the body at ninety-eight and a half degrees F., the natural temperature of the human being in health. I will now attach this small silver tube in the vein, which, of rvDuree, connects it by this siphon tube with the jar of defibrinated "warm sheep's blood and milk. I keep the stop-cock closed for the present. Next I will plunge this hollow needle, which is attached to the air-pump, or aspirator, into the ventricles of the heart, and when the air is exhausted in the receiver the clotted blood will be drawn out. You know that needles, sharp, narrow blades, and even arrows, have pierced the walls of the heart in living animals frequently without producing death, because upon their withdrawal the contraction of the muscular fibers closes the opening. Now this needle is in the right ventricle, and (making another attachment by the double tube) this is in the left. All is now ready except our arrangement for stimulating the nerves which preside over respiration, the heart, and general circulation. The nerves are the pneumo-gastric and great sympathetic. The former comes from the base of the brain in a certain spot; the latter will require an opening in the abdomen." The professor then took up a small diamond drill, not larger than a horsehair, and perforated the skull at two pointB, an inch apart, at the base of the brain, into which be thrust the two delicate platinum points of the battery. At the moment these entered several persons remarked that the chest had moved, as if in respiration. The bellows was detached, and, sure enough, a quantity of bloody-looking froth and mucus was being forced out of the windpipe. This was all drawn out with a syringe, and tho professor proceeded to the last arrangement of the poles of the smaller Bunson to the sympathetic nerve?"solar plexus," as he called it. And now came the trial, which all awaited in breathless anxiety. The professor of anatomy took charge of the jars of blood and milk, and was to turn the stop-cocks to lot it flow into the jugular vein, and thence into the heart, as the professor of physiology was to empty the blood clots from the heart with the aspirator or air-pump at the same time. Another student was to inflate the lungs with the bellows by a slow, easy motion, not more rapidly than eighteen times a minute. Another assistant was to move a scape-valve on tho bellows tube, so that when the lungs were filled it might empty itself of bad air, without blowing back into the bellows. Two other assistants stood by the batteries to make the connections at the word. At the word "Now" every welltrained head and hand began to work? all in harmony?and quietly. No sound at first but the slow wheezing of the bellows, and the measured "thud! thud 1" of the piston of the air-ptimp. The clotted blood from the heart poured into the receiver at first like a brown jelly, which, after a few moments, was thinner; at last a stream of thin, warm blood. It was notioed that the blood mixture in the jar was perceptibly lowering. The professor of phvsiology withdrew the aspirating needles, and stood with dilated pupils and flashed face. The chest of the dead man was mpving regularly. He grasped the pulse, and said in a whisper: " A tremo a tremor 1" And then, applying his ear to the oh est for a moment, sprang uP and oried out in an excited manner1 " By heavens it moves! I can feel its pulse ?" A. shout went up from every one, but followed in a moment by a deathly stillness, for the swollen eyes of r the dead were seen to roll in their sockets, and each one looked at the other as 3 much as to say, "What have we done r in restoring this man to life and sufferl ing?" The battery at the heart and i abdomen were now disconnected, and f all the semblance of lile was observable. Nearly two pints of the blood-mixtnre 11 bad entered the veins. This -was now cut off and artificial respiration kept up. The pulse could be counted, lr' regular, and over 100 per minute. The face of the subject was no longer livid, but r-ther pale. The evelids were half-. r closed, and the eyeballs rolling; the pupils were discovered contracting and ' dilating according as they were shaded lF or exposed to light. Somo nitrite of amyl was held to the valve of the bel> lows, for breathing was not through the 1 mouth or nostrils, and instantly the - heart beat more steadily, the face be1 came of better color, and the chest jerk-1 1 ed as if there was a deBire to cough. At this juncture the professor of physi; ology said: ' "Gentlemen, our experiments thus far are successful. This man is living again, but can have no thought, becauso the mass of brain is too nearly severed from the cord. No act of will, at least, 1 can be performed. The spinal cord is ; itself the motor center of the body, and as long as we keep up artificial breath1 ing the body will live." He then proceeded to drill several holes, as large as a sewing-needle, into various parts of the skull, and touched the brain with the galvanic points, which caused the legs to jerk, the hands to clench, the eyes to roll, open, shut, and the tongue to protrude. A full description of the anatomical points and psychological observations was carefully taken down, and will doubtless appear in the medical periodicals. The experiment concluded by withdrawing the bellows, and closing the opening in the windpipe by adhesive plaster, and all were startled by a sud/ nnnrVi frnm Hi a rlpnH mnn ATlrl n. rolling of the head, with moaning sounds like one exhausted by suffering. This was followed by convulsive action in the limbs, a fixing of the eyes and appearance of a second death. The body became cool in twenty minutes. The whole experiment lasted from 11,30 v. m. to 12.20 a. m., or fifty minutes.? Indianapolis (lnd.) Herald. A Monster Deril Fish. A Newfoundland correspondent of the I Boston Traveler writes: Stephen ! Sherring, a fisherman residing in Thimble Tickle, was out in a boat with two other men; not far from the shore they observed some bulky object, and, supposing it might be part of a wreck, they rowed toward it, and, to their horror, round themselves close to a huge fish, having large glassy eyes, which was making desperate efforts to escape, and churning the water into foam by the motion of its immense arms and tail. It was aground, and the tide was ebbing. From the funnel at the back of its head it was ejecting large volumes of water, this being its method of moving back ward, the force of the Btream, by the reaction of the surrounding medium, driving it in the required direction. At times the water from the syphon was black as ink. Finding the monster partially disabled, the fishermen plucked up courage and ventured near enough to throw the grapnel of their boat, the sharp flukes | of which, having barbed points, sunk into the soft body. To the grapnel they had attached a stout rope which they had carried ashore and tied to a tree, so as to prevent the fiBh from going | out with the tide. It was a happy | thought, for the devil-fish found him| self effectually moored to the shore, j I His struggles were terrific as he flung j his ten arms about in dving agony. The ! fishermen took care to seep a reBpectfu I distance from the long tentacles which j ever and anon darted out like great I tongues from the central mosB. At | length it became exhausted, and as the j | water receded it expired. The fishermen, alas! knowing no beti tar nrnneeded to convert it into does I meat. It was a splendid specimen?the largest yet taken?the body measuring twenty feet from the beak to the extremity of the tail. The circumference of the body iB not stated, but one of the I arms measured thirty-five feet. This | must have been a tentacle. I have sent ; to make inquiries regarding any fragI ments of this specimen that may have ; been preserved, with what success time will tell. At this time of the year it is difficult, if not impossible, to gain access to these lonely recesses of Notre | Dame bay, as the formation of ice cute ! off all intercourse. I shall spare no pains or expense to get 6ome relic of these extraordinary monsters. The Happy Moment in a Boj's Life. There is a time in the life of every boy when his spirits are buoyed on waves of unadulterated felicity, and that time is on a fine bracing morning I wh(?n the circus comes to town and is giving its pageant. In the country the boy who is compelled to go to school on this eventful day feels what he considers a punishment more keenly than doeB a" forger his well merited five years in Sing Sing. As he sits and cons his hateful lessons he feels as mean as does the man who buys a dollar and a half new silk scarf by gaslight and discovers on the follow| ing morning that it is grassgreen. His melancholy is not soothed by the soul-melting strains of "Lanigan's Ball " or " Grandfather's Clock." The happy boy is the one who can follow i the highly colored wagons from street | to street and marvel at their contents. It is one of the happiest moments of I his life. He drives his hands into his ' pockets, pushes his cap back on his | head, and marches along as proudly as j though he were Alexander wading up to ! his neck in human gore. His thoughts will never be known, but they are pret| ty respectable in regard to flight and ; general symmetry.

" I lost a good jack-knifo in here the other day in just such a mysterious manner," whispered Bijah, trying hard not to blush above his ears. His honor sat down without another word. It was evident that he had his suspicions, and that he had determined to find out the criminal if it cost ten thousand dollars.

Foote's Health Monthly says one of the most frequent causes of bald nes is the praotice of wearing the hat when it is not needed. "This practice heats the scalp, brings on scalp i diseases, and as a result the hair falls." To prevent baldness the Monthly advises persons to keep the head agreeably oool, avoid head-coverings except when'going into the cold, and to live i hygienioaliy. ii'iii'j" i" - ?? NEWS SUMMARY.

Nerve Inqatetade and Ita Remedy* Restless nerves, at least those that are constantly so, are weak ones ae well. The true way to tranquilize them thoroughly is to strength! en thom. It may be, nay, it very often is necessary to have recourse to a sedative or even an opiate, in dangerous cases of nervous inquie- , tude ; but the continued use of such unnatural pilliativt sis greatly to be deprecated.
