The howling ol a dog in the night is a
sign that death will soon occur. The
Pennsylvania Dutchman, whose iailh was
fixed on this sign, gave an incident in
proof ol its correctness thus: One night

ft ol many vettra since, ceitain miners,
working (ar underground, caute upon the
ttdy ot a |X)<>r fellow who hud perished In
the suflocating pit forty ye trs before Some
chemical agent to which the body hid
been subjected -an agent in the laboratory
ol nature—had cflectually arrested the
progress of decay. They brought it up to
the surface, and, for a while, till thorough
ly exposed to the atmosphere., it lay- the
image ol a flue, sturdy young man. No
convulsions had passed over his face iu
death—the features were tranquil ; the
hair black as jet. none recognized the face,
a generation had grown, since the miner
went down into the pit for the last time.
But a tottering old woman, who hurried
from her cottage o 1 bearing the news,
came up, and she knew again Hie face
which through all these long years she
had not forgotten. The miner bare
been her husband on the day alter that on
which he had died.
There were uo dry eyes when the gray-,
headed old pilgrim cast herself upon the
youthful corpse and poured in the deal ear
many words of endearment unused foity
years. It was a touching contrast—the
oue so old, this other so young. They
were both youug these long yeara ago, but
time had go ne on with the living, and had
stood still with the dead.’
The main difference between men, in.
significant aud great, is energy.
