To Fannie F. H
Dear Fanny, life is fUU of pleasure.
And hope builds castles in the future;
May thy pleasure he to love and bless.
Thy future, affections long caress.
Thy form of moulded grace and beauty,
Thy will confirmed in paths of duty,
Thy mind replete with learning’s treasure,
Thy winsome graces without measure.
Thy heart, so soft to loves impression,
To live for all, thy earthly mission;
These are the charms that make us love thee,
These, the heaven-born gifts that prove thee.
Thy i yous nature e’er shall bless thee,
Ana when afflictions does come to thee —
Then tby sweet humility shall move thee,
Tc lean on Him whose strength is for thee.
Be thou the comfort, joy and blessing
Of him who wins thy hearts devotion;
May the angels guard, preserve your love,
And guide you to your Heaven above.

A “Living Tomb.”
HORRIBLE SEQUEL TO A SALT LAKE FUNERAL.
A horrible discovery was made here
yesterday upon examining the body
of a young man named Win. B. Lack
hurst, who was buried in the ceme
tery on the 23J of June last On the
20th Lackhurst attended a picnic
here, and while there concluded to
take a bath. He did so in a running
stream near by, remaining in the wa
ter some time. He was then in per
fect health and appreheuded no iil
consequences. After coming out from
Ljis bath, Lackhurst went buck to the
picnic grounds and getting into a
swing, began to amuse himself. All
at once, while in the swing, his head
dropped, his muscles relaxed, and lie
fell heavily to the ground. Ho was
picked up and. everv effort made to
revive him, but in vain- The insensi
ble young man was placed in a car
riage and driven home, where restora
tive agents were again employed, hut
to no purpose. After some hesita
tion the physician in attendance an
nounced the young man dead, and
prepartious were made for his inter
ment.
The body presented a singular life
like appearance—so much so, indeed,
that the friends felt uneasy about go
ing on with the funeral until more
positive evidence that life had wholly
gone had been obtained. The funeral
was delayed one day, but finally the
physicians reaffirmed* their previous
conclusion that Lackhurst had died
of heart disease; and the body was
therefore interred Juue 23d.
But one or two friends of the fami
ly seemed hauntqd by the recollec
tion of that life-like face, and finally
these haunting doubts spread through
the city aud led to a proposal to ex
hume the remains and settle the ques
tion forever. Yesterday a number of
the friends of Lackhurst repaired to
the cemetery and opened the grave.
Upon lifting the coffin and removing
the lid a horrible and sickening sight
met their gaze. The body was turned
over on its side. The skin and great
pieces of flesh had been torn from the
f'aci, the hair pulled out in huge
patches from the scalp, the grave
clothes aud coffin-lining torn in
shreds, and the finger nails worn
down to the quick by the frantic ef
forts of the man to burst the cere
ments of his grave. The sight was
the most terrible ever witnessed, and
the stonti st-hearted of the party
nearly fainted when the lid ot the
coffin was removed.
An investigation has been demand
ed, and will bfo had at once, to see if
there is no way of fixing the responsi
bility for this horrible blunder and its
awful results. —Salt Lake dispatch, 4th
inst. to San Francisco Chronicle.
is a touching story ot the
minister who returned from his east
ern visit and found his wife singing
iu a saloon. With the tears stream
ing down his furrowed cheeks, he
begged her to promise‘him then and
there, by the memory of their mar
riage vows, and in the sight of heaven,
that she never would touch another
drop of the hellish liquor. And now
the poor man wears a wig and two
false teeth.
jjjgg“Out in Nevada they think Sir
Lambton Lorraine, a “perfect brick,”
and they are now making a bricu of
silver, which they intend sending to
him, with an appropriate inscription
on it. We suggest that a good in
scription would be: “Sir Lambton
Lorraine —this is a brick. Your’e
another.”
jggf-The following is said to be a
good remedy for a bone felon. Take
common rock salt, such as is used for
salting down pork or beef, dry it in
an oven, then pound it fine and mix
with spirits of turpetine, apply to
parts affected, and as it gets dry put
on more, and in twenty-four hours
you are cured, the felon is dead.
“He Was a Brick.”
MARK TWAIN'S CHAT WITH AN UNDERTAKER.
“Now, that corpse,” said the under
taker, patting the folded hands of de
ceased approvingly, “was a brick—in
every way you took him, he was a
brick. He was 65 real accommoda
ting, and so modest-like aud simple
in his last moments. Friends wanted
a metalic burial case; nothing else
would do. I couldn’t get it. There
warn’t going to be time—anybody
could see that. Corpse said never
mind; shake him up some kind of a
box he could stretch out in comforta
ble; he warn’t parlicular ’bout the
general style of it. Said he went
more on room than style, anyway, in
a last final container. Friends wauted
a silver door plate on the coffin, signi
fying who he was aud where he was
from. Now you know a fellow couldn’t
roust out such a gayly thiug as that
in a country town like this. What
did corpse say ? Corpse said, white
wash his old canoe, and dob his ad
dress and general destination onto it
with a bracking brush and a stencil
plate, ’long with a verse from some
likely hymn or other, and p’int him
for the tomb, and mark him C. O. D.,
and just let him flicker. Ha warn’t
distressed any more than you be; on
the contrary, just as calm and collect
ed as a hearse horse: said he judged
that where he was going to be, a body
would find it considerable better to at
tract attention by a picturesque moral
character than a natty burial case
with a swell door-plate on it. Splen
did man he was. I’d druther do for
a corpse like that’ll any I’ve tackled
in seven years. There’s some satis
faction in bury in’ a man like that.
You feel that what you’re doing is ap
preciated. Lord bless yoj ! so he’s
got planted before he sp’iled he was
perfectly sa isfled; said his relations
meant well, hut all them preparations
was bound to delay the thing more
or less, and he didn’t wish to be kept
lay in’ arouud. You never see such a
clear head as what he had —and so
calm aud cool. Just a huuk of brains;
that is what he was. Perfectly awful!
it was a ripping distance from one end
oft hat man’s head to t’other. Often
and over again lie’s had brain-fever a
raging in one place, and the rest of
the pile didn’t know anything about
it—didn’t affect it any more than an
Injun insurrection in Arizona affects
the Atlantic States.
Well, the relations, they wanted a
lurid funeral, but corpse said he was
down ou flurmnary—didn’t want any
procession—fid the hearse full ol
mourners, and get out a stern line
and tow him behind. He was the most
down on style of any remains I ever
struck. A beautiful simple-miuded
ereature—it was just what he was,
you can depend on that. He was just
set on having things like he wanted
them, and he took a solid comfort in
laying his little plans. He had me
measure him and take a whole laft of
directions; then he had the minister
stand up behind a large box with a
table-cloth over it to represent the
coffin, and read his funeral sermon,
saying ‘Angcore, Angcore!’ at the
good places, and making him scratch
out every bit of brag about bim, and
al the hifalutin; and then be made
them trot out the choir, so as he could
help them pick out the tuner for the
occasion, and he got them to sing ‘Fop
Goes the Weasel,’ because he’d always
liked that tune when be was down
hearted, and solemn music always
made him sad; and when they sung
that with tears in their eyes, (because
they all loved him,) and his relations
grieving around, he just laid there as
happy as a bug, and trying to beat
lime, and showing all over how much
he enjoyed it; and presently he got
worked up and excited, and tried to
join in, for, mind you, he was proud
of his abilities in the singing line; hut
the first time he opened his mouth,
and was just going to spread himself,
his breath took a walk. I never see a
man snuffed out so sudden. Ah, it
was a great loss—it was a powerful
loss to his little one-horse town. Well,
well, well, I ain’t got time to be pa
lavering along here —got to nail ou a
lid, and mosey a long with him; and
if you’ll just give me a lilt we’ll skeet
him into the hearse and meander
along. Relations bound to Lave it so
—don’t pay no attention to dying in
junctions minute a corpse’s gone; but
if I had inv way, if I didn’t respect
his last wishes and tow him behind
the hearse I'll be cuss’d. I consider
that whatever a corpse want done for
his support is little enough matter,
and a man ain’t got no right to de
ceive him or take advantage of him and
whatever a corpse trust me to do I’m
going to do, you know, even if it’s to
stuff him and paint him yaller and
keep him for a keepsake—you hear
me! ’
He cracked his whip and went lum
bering off with his ancient ruin of a
$2.50 A YEAR
hearse, and I continued my walk with
a valuable lesson learned —that a
healthy and wholesome cheerfulness
is not necessarily impossible to any
occupation. The lesson is likely to
be lasting, for it will take many
months to obliterate the memory of
the remarks and circumstances that
impressed them.
A Son Defends his Mother and
is Complimented by the
Judge.
Every romance has its reality and
every reality its romance, as the fol
lowing will show: John Horan went
to the bar of the Tombs yesterday
morning to make a charge of assault
and battery against bis son William,
a youth aged twenty years. Mr. Ho
ran’s head gave proof that he had
beeu roughly handled. Both of his
eyes were black and his forehead was
cut. He told the Judge, with much
deliberation, that his son, at whom he
looked now aud then with a sort of
sardonic grin, ha l beaten him most
unmercifully without provocation.
William modestly stepped up to the
desk and was at first inclined to say
nothing, but suddenly a thought
struck him, and he said, “If let myself
be brought to jail, she will not be
safe.” “Who will not be safe ?” asked
the Judge. “My mother, said Wil
liam,' in a very low tone, as he looked
towards his father. He told his story,
which ran as follows; “He whips my
mother now aud theu when I’m not
around, and she never tells me be
cause she knows there would be a
row in the house. But I hear it from
others aud tUen tax her with it, but
she always denies it. I would have
brought the case to court long ago,
but my mother, although, she is poor,
is a lady, and would not come here.
She prefers to keep her little misfor
tunes to herself. This morning moth
er, in her meek quiet way, asked this
man, her husband, for some mouev
to buy soap to wash her clothes with,
or for some other purpose. He told
her she could not have it; made some
taunting remark about her pride in
keeping clean. Mother never answers
him back, for she knows how cross
and rough he is. He said much to
tantalize and make her reply; but she
would not, and theu his anger got the
better of him. He hit mother in the
face with his fist v It was the first
time hoover dared to do it in my pres
ence, and I was determined it should
be the last. I told him that a poor,
weak woman was no match for him,
and suggested that he protect himself,
as I intended to give him a right good
thrashing. He did try to protect him
self, but without success. If I have
broken the law I don’t object to be
ing punished, provided that man is
put where he will not be able to whip
my mother till I come hack to take
care of her.”
The Judge said, “Young man, I am
proud to see that you love your moth
er aud are anxious to protect her, but
your violence to towards your father
has beeu of vigorous a character. Try
and keep your handß off your father;
but,. in auy event, protect your moth
er from injury. You may go.”
Hints for Home.
Tea and coffee should be made as
soon as the water boils, or the gas es
capes and the flavor is destroyed.
Molasses is improved by boiling
and should be boiled and set away
for cake and other purposes.
Cranberries should have water kept
ou them and changed every week.
Four hot tallow on ink spots; let it
remain a few minutes before washing.
To give a gloss to shirt-bosoms ajd
collars, add a piece of white wax and
spermaceti, each about the size of a
pea, to a pint of starch, while boiling.
Irou until smooth, as friction puts on
the gloss.
Another; pour boiling water on
gumarabic, -and dissolve; put in a bot
tle, cork tight. When the starch is
boiled add some, and it will give a
good gloss.
To choose nutmegs, pick them with
a pin; if the oil comes out, they am
good.
There is but one step between
the sublime aud the ridiculous. An
old lady paused in Lafayette square to
fondle a little child. The meeting of
age aud infancy in the interchange of
congenial sentiment, under a wide
spreading beech tree, should not be
disturbed, for it is a lovely sight; but
a dog got after one of General Bab
cock’s deer, that rushing head fore
most,regardless of consequence, struck
this o'd lady on the New York Herald
which she wore, lifting her over the
head of the little child and depositing
her in the ornamental shrubbery in
the middle of the adjoing grass plot*
—[ Capital.
