SOUTHERN Cremation As a Cure. 4 \ HI VO IS WO:iA\ INSTANTLY CURED BYTIIK READING OK A BOOK ON INCINERATION. BANNERt MARCH 86. 1878. Mrs. Boggs hud been under the weather for two or three days. At least she said she was, but these attacks come rather frequently, Boggs thought, for when his wife was having one of her off spells lie had to cook the meals and do all the housework. We don’t remember what particular state the weather was in this last time, but Mrs. Boggs was under it, and she was under it very bad. ‘she even told Boggs that she didn’t believe she was ever going to get up out of it, and she made a hysterical request that he bury her in some sunny spot where the birds might come and sing to her ; and she made him promise that he would bring flowers once a week and scatter them over her grave. A dozen times that day was Boggs called from his work in the kitchen to bid a last farewell to his dying wife, but still she lingered, fie had been through this experience a great many times before, so he wasn’t so much alarmed as he might otherwise have been. That night as he sat watching, like tho affectionate husband he was, at her bedside, she saw that he was deep ly engrossed in a book. “ What book aro you reading, dear?” She faintly asked. “ A railroad guide, my love,” wan the reply. “ What do you want with a railroad guide ?” She inquired. I want to see how far it is to Washington, Penn., and how the trains run,” said Mr. Boggs. She would have asked him what he l ad to do with Washington, Penn., l ut he got up anti went out and she fell into a doze the inclination to w hich she didn’t care to repress, even though h delayed the final departure that she bad so often prated about. When she a woke she saw Boggs bending over her with a candle. He evidently hadn’t observed that she was awake, so clos ing her eye she feigned sltep and over heard the following to soliloquy, which up a bunk On the kitchen floor that night next to the stove. But a pecu liar smile played about Boggs’ face, even when he was rubbing the sore 8pot on his bald head, and he mur- ( YEORGIA OCONEE COUNTY—Whereas i T James M.
