. APPI.E BLOSSOMS, """
We stood within the orchard's gloom,
In youth and courgge high.
The apple boughs in clustered bloom
Were just a nearer sky '
And one, a maiden in her pride,
A quaint old ditty sang.
With glance, half ?by, at him beside;
And thus the burden rang:
O true heart, 'tis long to parti
Apple boughs are gay,
Sweet buds grow, blossoms blow;
Thou art still away.
One lingered, when they turned to go^
Whose path lay o'er the sea;
A look, a kiss, a whisper low,
*2?<Uat*ntIwywhHthegrosei
The woods oC that refrain:
O true heart 'tis long to part t
, % Apple boughs are gay;
bweet buds grow, blossoms blow;
Thou art still away.
A ring up<Jti my finger shone,
He ranished in the shade.
And the sweet stars looked gently down
Upon a happy maid.
That ring is like a star at night;
And in my loneliness
The pressure of its circlet light
Has seemed a soft caress.
0 true heart, 'tis long to part!
Apple boughs are gay,
Rweet buds grow, blossoms blow;
That art still away.
* * * * * *
I stand within the orchard's close,
Beneath the guardian tree6;
And thrice the apple blossoms' snows
Have floated to the hreeie.
The summer glows, th? red leaves fall,
7 he winter hearth-fires burn;
Bpring comes, but never to my call
Or prayer dost thou return!
O true heart, 'tis long to part!
Apple boughs are gav,
Sweet-buds grow, blossoms blow;
Thou art still away.
The3- say one should bo patient, yet,
!f groping lost in night
Forever, can the soul forget
The loveliness of light''
I sometimes think that in yon sky
Thou art?so far from me!
And then, when I to God would cry,
1 cry, instead to you.
O true heart, 'tis long to part!
Apple boughs are gay.
Sweet buds grow, blossoms blow;
Thou art still away. '
7c smile, to jest, to walk my wayOb,
that is not for me!
To live till I am old and gray,
And ne'er thy face to see'
Thy voice! O Love, art thou a dream
By God in pity given*
. v Clasp, clasp me close, lest joy extreme
Hbould open the gates of heaven!
O true heart, no more to part!
Apple boughs are gay.
Sweet buds grow, blossoms blow,
Where our glad feet stray.

The hour was about twilight; the un
touched meal bad been cleired away, and
the old housekeeper had retired to her
chamber. Perry sat in the front room.
in a low chair by the window, and,
absorbed in his misery, he noticed nothing
of the storm that was coming bp.
Ho had uot sat thus mom than half an
hour when he heard the sharp unlatching
of the gate, and the quick step of
: ^ : 1 NJr ~
feet on the gravel; and then there was
knork at the door.
A tall man stood without,his garmen
clinging to him in wet folds and tl
water running from thcms in stream
The old man help up the candle to b
face and saw a prominent nose and a pa
of keen eyes under a wide hat, and f
the rest there was a handsome, rath
benevolent, mouth, and a mass of a
burn beard. The man was a stranger
him.
"Good evening,* sir," he said, in
bluff, hearty voice. "May I come in ai
get dry? Such u ducking I haven't h
since I fell off Freehaven Dock, long ag
uh?
"Yes, come in," Periy replied; ai
ushering the stranger into the' room,
brought some kindlings and light woo
with which he soon made a fire in t
fireplace.
The stranger took off his coat and ves
and squeezed the water from them, hui
them on a chair, and addressed himse
to the drying of his extremities. The o
man looked on in moody silence, and tl
stranger was compelled to make the fir
advances.
"A nice place you have here, I shoul
think. I saw it from the bottom of tl
hill, before the storm came up."
"IVho are you?" Perry abrupt!
asked. "Do you come here on auy bus
ness? Have you anything to do wit
that lascal Murch, who has robbed mc c
all my property? I don't know, sir; pei
haps I do you an injustice; but I hav
become embittered against everybody
I'll ask you kindly, if you came hei
spying for Issas Murch, to leave peace
ably?and now."
"On my honor, then, sir," replied th
other, much surprised at the questions
"I don't know anything of Murch, an
I'm above spying for him or anybody,

this afternoon, in the steamboat, and ex

"No, no," interrupted Perry; "
wouldn't turn a dog out iuto the storm
much less n human being. Stay till yoi
are dry, and the rain is over; and that,
think, won't be before morning. 1'1
give you a bed."
Finding the old man but little inclined
to talk, the stranger bade bis ho3t good
night and went to the room assigned t<
him.
It was then about ten o'clock. Thi
storm was at its height, and it continue:
for an hour longer, when it abruptly
ceased. The suddenness of its cessation
aroused the occupant of the room, an<
wearied with hi? stress of emotion, h
took his candle and ascended the stairs
He had no heart for auything but hi
own dreadful misery; and he would pro
bably have forgotten the presence of i
stranger in his house but for a ray o
light issuiug from the keyhole ol th(
chamber which he had bade him take,
Randolph Perry paused, and merely
obeying a sudden impulse, stopped and
placed his eye at the hole. He had not
the least curiosity about this man, and
his aft was certainly without motive.
But hjfs ^yc had but singled out his gucsl

For two year*-Mi*- J* H.,LWe&er, of

a nerve taken front adog was transferred
to her arm, midwab between the shoulder
and elbow, and t is hoped that she

able operntyfc was performed by Dr. D.
Hayes AgwW, consulting physician in
the Gar fie* care, and Dr. J. William
White, fisted by Dr. Edward Martin,
Dr. W. ? Hunter, Dr. Strickler, and
Dr. Strt ?r, the last three being resident
pbysiciP* in the University of Pennsylvania
lospital. In 1880 Mrs. Weber
discovred a small tumor ijear the middie
of her upper arm. It was not pain
ful i/til 1884. On March 5, 1889, while
at f.u Antonio, Texas, Dr. E. Herff,
nrra surgeon, removed the tumor. It
pr^ed to be a multiple neuroma of the
mriculo-spiral nerve. Dr. Herff found
itaecessary to take away about three

rausing "wrist droop," which prevented
Mis. Weber from extending her hand,
although the Ingera could be moved
slightly. From that time sh* had no
use of her arm, .(although it could be
raised from the shuilder.
Mrs. Weber consulted Dr. Agnew and
-Tni YPhitp, her to go
to the University'^Pennsylvania Hoapital
for an operation. She went there
about March 15. ftt was proposed to
transplant several inches of human nerve
into her arm, joining it to the ends of
the nerve which bad been sundered under
Dr. Hcrff's knife. The surgeons expected
to take the nerve of a human arm
or leg which was being amputated and
transplant it into Mrs. Weber's arm. The
patient consented and spent the next five
weeks in the University Hospital under
careful treatment, but no amputation
case was received at that institution.
On April 2S, at the suggestion of Dr.
Agnew and Dr. White, Mrs. Weber consented
to have transplanted into her arm
the nerve from a living dog. The doctors
told her that if the dog's nerve was
used it would not, of course, transmit
sensations, but it would merely act as a
bridge between the suspended ends of
her own nerve. It was hoped the-latter
would throw out filaments from each
end which grow along
the bridge and join in the middle. Mrs.
Weber insisted that the dog selected
should suffer no pain.
A healthy collie was found. It was
placed upon a diet for two weeks, and
was carefully watched so that the surgeons
could be surest was in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mrs. Weber's arm
was prepared by .antiseptic treatment,
being scrubbed with soap and water and
alcohol and bichloride of mercury.
Then she was etherized and was taken
into the private operating room of the
hospital. In the: mean time the dog,
freshly bathed, wfu? also placed under the
influence of ether.llA.ll the hair wai
shaved from his rig]?t$ig.V?~ He was then
taken into the opening- room. Dr.

LIKE CORN IN A GRANARi
HUMAN BODIES PILED UP IK 1
MEXICAN GRAVEYARD.
A Ghastly Sight In the Strantes
Bury 111* Ground or the WorldMexican
Burial Ctutoma.
The strangest burying ground of th<
world is here at Guanahuato, write
Frank G. Carpenter to the New Yorl
World. I have visited the most curioui
graveyards on record, but I have nevei
seen anything that compares with the
horrors I saw to-day. Imagine if yo\
can the boaes of a hundred thousanc
human beings torn to. pieces and pilec
one on the top of another like so mud
corn in a granary. Put all ages and
sexes together. Tear them limb frou
limb and mix the mass of skulls, legs,
arms and ribs together so that the bony
fingers of one runs into the hollow eyee
of its neighbor and tho parts of the differ
cot skeletons lose themselves in the vast
pile of this vaulted granary of bone?.
The cemetery of this city of Guana
huato is situated on the top of a high
hill overlooking the town. I entered by
its wide gate and found myself sur
rounded by great walls in a court which
contained perhaps five acres of ground.
The walls of this court were about eight
feet thick, and as I examined them 1
found that thjy were in fact made up ol
pigeon holes about three feet square and
aix feet deep, some of which were open
and others of which were closed with
marble slabs on which were printed the
names and virtues of the dead who were
helved away within. There were thousands
of these pigeon holes, and my guide
showed me a card giving the rates.
From it I see that these holes are rented
out to the bodies of the dead, and th<
guide tells me that the most of them art
taken lor about five years, after which
the bones of the deceased are taken out,
'the pigeon hole is cleaned and it is ready
for the next occupant. It costs #25 foi
the use of one of these pigeon holes foi
five years, and this seems to be the shortest
terra for which they are leased. A
man who wants one perpetually can have
it by paying #100, aud if he cares t<
cro.vd hiR whole familv into the same
bole he can have it for the lump sum ol
|500.
Leaving the court I was next conducted
into the great storehouie for the
bones of the dead after their leale3 have
expired and they have been ousted by
their landlords from their tenement!
above. There I saw great piles of skulh
and other pieces . of skeletons jumbled
togethor iu all sorts of shape!
and mixed up into one heterogenous
mass of bones, rising in a slanting way
from the floor of the tunnel at an angle
of forty-five degrees to the roof. Everything
was jumbled together in the great
democracy of death. The bones of the
old and young were piled in and on one
another. The feet of men rested in the
skulls of women, and I saw a great-toe
in the grinning teeth of what may have
once l^een a beautiful girl. About another
skull the bones of an arm were
thrown almost caressingly, and legs and
arms, whole and in bits, were piled up
one on the top of another like so many
stones, and the whole, ghastly as it was,
looked more like the piled up Indian
corn in a crib than anything else.
I had my camera with mo in (hit
vault, and I wished to take a photograph
of it. There wus, however, no place on
wnicn to rest the camera, and I suggest
^ to the guard of the cemetery that he
^ get a board. He at once picked up
l9 coffin trom a little pile which contain
e the mummies of babies, and taking t
r> mummy out held it under his arm wh
it he propped the coffin on end and ma
e it stand level by putting a thigh bo
[. from the great heap under one conn
i. Upon this I rested my camera and si
t. cecdcd in taking a very fair picture. I
g fore I left I took a picture of this m
with the mummy in his arms and anott
of him and his brother ghoul holding
the municipal coffin, in which all the de
0 of this town have to brought to the gra\
Q yard. There are no hearses in this mou
j tain city, and the town has fix
rates for the rent of its coffit
e These coffins are eo big that anoth
r | coffin can be put inside of them, ai
? I they are carried on the shoulders of tl
hearers tip the steep bill. As soon
they er.ter the cemetery the coffins a
placed on a ledge or stone table and a
opened, for the purpose, it is said,
, seeing that not more than one corpse
buried in one coffin, and that the cera
' tery gets ita full fee for ev?
I corpse.
