-A0CUBED OF WITCHCRAFT." BX MARGARET B. BAKGSTUL Old and wan was Goodman David, racked wltti pain in every limb; Yonuit and fair was maiden Nelly, sunshine of the world to him. In the woodman's little cottage, on tho edge of Salem town, Often were both song and laughter, seldom was there sigh or frown; For though pain might cross the threshold and distill its bitter dew, {land in hand amagio healer, aye, came saintly patience, too. Love was there, and peace and honor, homely virtue, modest thrift, And the father’s heart was thankful, owning daily grace and gift. Only when the wheel ceased whirring in the twilight’s holy calm Dad fair Nelly spaco for resting, time for lifted prayer ami psalm. Hers the task to spiu tho linen, finest scon in Salem town, Winning her in stately houses golden piccos, prized renown. *Neath the coif her hair was flaxen, and her wide and fearless ryes Held amid their depths tho color of the purest morning skies. If a tpico of mischiof twinkled in her dimples’ merry dauc.s There was never hint of malico in tho swiftest fleeting glance. Btill her tongue in nimblest tripping kept its innoconco of gnile, And tho sweetness of bor singing matched the gladness of her smilo. Llko a distant lxxltng inurmnr, to tho good- man whero ho sat, Talcs had oomo of croaking evil Ho had listeued, stroked tho cat. Furring like a sago familiar In tho lioarth- flamoV rosy glow; Told, in pause of Nolly’s spinning, logends of the bug ago, Whon some said that dreary phantom* st&lkod tho midnight hills abroad. For tho goodinau, ho was placid, trusting in his father’s (lo<L Nolly, gay, light-hearted, Nelly, hearing of tho muttered spoils, Tocsed her head in scorn, her laughter like a shime of silver bells. Nay, poor maid, that laugh was folly; speeding with ita fatal shaft To a orono who gibe 1 at beauty, thought its bloom Hatanio craft. Haggard sho, and weird an t hideous, shadowed by the enl-eyo. Whose but Nolly's, sweet maid Nelly’s, with her sinful skipping by ? Ob, to tamo tbosa mocking spirits, baro thoso shoulders to tho switch I Iirooding thus, the path grew easy : she might call tho chikl a witch. Booo she hissed it forth lu meeting; spat it out in Salem street. Up and d »wn tho slander traveled; envy winged it* flying feet; Tfil tho grim-facod parson heard it, shivorlng In a lurid a wo; Bought the magistrate in horror to tnVoko an outraged law; And, as from tho sky of summer swoop* tho hawk upon his prey, Swooped the su Men doom on Nolly on that dveadful wintry day. Flead in vain, poor Goodman David; they who list arc hard a* Mono. Cling iu vain, sweet ditughtei Nolly; valuly weep ami shriek and moan. Waits tin Jailer with hi* fottors; yawns for tlu'.o a prison coll, Barred and looked and double-bolted} yoa, tho law shall guard ihoo well. Let the home blaze die to ashes; let tho old man plno away; In God’s naiuo this deed of darkness shall bo done with might this day. In God’s name ! Ah ! hoar it, Heaven 1 Art too far to break tho ban Spoken with a hellish daring by tho Impious Ups of man ? In tho little peaceful cottngo on the odgo of Haiein towu Joy and order reigned at morning. Whon tho gloomy night cauio down, Hushed tho gro.it wheel's oh eery whirring;— uoed, fflus 1 no ninro of that;— Only iu tho corner purring sat that household sphinx, tho cut. —llarjntr'a Umar. BARBARA. “Now you miiHt do tome oredit to my unraiiig, aud not strong and well nguiu,” Ah Fannie Pleasanton spoko, sho pul beside the bed over wliioli sho was lean ing, a great bunch ot fragrant. violets, moist and beautiful, broalliiug tholr sweet stories of shady ucolts in deep woods. A liltlo, pale face, that had boon lying listlessly on the pillow, was lifted eagerly, "Oh, how good yon aro I Oh, they are like home, my own dear homo I" Great tears rolled down tho pale fooo, “Toll mo about your borne. How came . m to leavo it for this oity ?’’ said Fan nie. “My father died, and the farm was sold to pay a mortgage. I lmd a little money, aud I thought I conld find work in the city. Besides ” But hero Barbara Golding stopped, aud n faint, crimson blush rose upon her pale ohoeks. "H'm 1“ thought Fannie, wiso iu twenty-two years ot city life and edu cation; "a love story,” She asked no questions, but pretty soon Barbara said : “You have been so kind, I will tell yon. Perhaps you can toll mo what to do.” “I will help you in way that I oau.” “Two years ago, tho summor that I was seventeen, father took a boarder. He was n lawyer, aud his health bad failed from studying too hard. I think ho was about twenty-six or twenty-eight, not handsome, bnt bo gentle and goed that wo ali likod him from the first. And he would oome into tho garden with me, and help mo with vegetables and fruit, becanso father loft that to me; and would carry the milk up to the dairy- room for mo, aud tnlk about books nud tho city, and—oh, Miss Pleasonton, don’t you know?” “He made love to you?” "Yes,” iu a faint whisper. "And you loved him ?" “Yes,” again; “I could not help it ? When ho went nwav, he promised to come tho next summer, and he told me when he made his fortnno, ho would oomo to ask me to share it.” “Did he come?” “Father died the next spring, and I came here. I thought I should find him, bnt I did not seo him for n long time, and when I did I had become so poor, so very poor, X would not force myeeif upon him. I worked as well os I could, but this summer I became sick, and bnt for you I should have starved.” “Do you think your lover is still true to you ?" “I cauaot tell I I would not trouble . him. Sometimes, after I found out where his cilice was, I would pass by After dark and peep in. It was beauti fully furnished ; so I hope he is making his forlnne; but I only whispered,' ‘God Ideas him,’ and came homo," “Will you tell me his name?” “Lennox—Cyrus B. Lennox!” Fannie Pleasanton turned her faoe ab ruptly from tho little seamstress, who bad been tho object of her oharity for the last six weeks, and walked to the window. Lifting the soft, white our- tuins she had placed there, sho looked into tho street, while ringing in her ears was tho namo Barbara Golding had just spoken. “Cyrus B. Lennox !” She was very pale when she came again to tho bedside, but her voice was steady and sweet as ever as she said.- “I mnst leavo yon now, Barbara, bnt / will come in again this afternoon. If you want anything, Mrs. Harper wil' answer the boll.” "Yes, she is very kind. But—you will come again ?’’ "This afternoon I Try !o ont a few of fho strawberries I have brought you 1” Slio went away then, stopping as usual to loll tho janitross of tho poor tenement- house to care for tho sick girl until her return. But instend of driving to tho stores a liere sho lmd intended to mnko final purchases for n uenrlv completed wed ding outfit, sho fold the oonohmnn to drivo homo. Onoe there, unheeding tho anxious inquiries of her mint, astonished at her early return and pale face, sho went to hor own room, bolting the door, before she sank down in • chair, woaried wiili the oflort to maintain her com posure. Cyrus B. Lennox, the girl said. Fan- mo Pleosautou, looting around her lux urious room, saw a pleasant confusion of dress, new garments loading tnblos and warurobo, drawers overflowing with dainty finery, oiieu truuks wailing to be packed. Aud tho preparations woro all for n wedding in one short week, and tho bridegroom elect was Cyrus B. Lonnox, What was this story tho little seams' Iress sho fonnd starving in tho attio had told her ? The janitross of tho teno- ms it-honso had been a servant in tho Pleasanton family, and eame to Fannie, who was ricli and genorous, whenever n iy distress came to her notice. And Fannio lmd gouo at her last call, to Hud Barbara Golding tossiug in delirious fever, evidently overworked, poorly fed, and silting in tlie little nttio chamber, Hlio lind paid for a bolter room on a lower floor, bail sent a doctor, had sup plied medicines, food and care, bad visi ted her often, till tlie doctor pronounced ber on tho road to recovery. And in return sho had heard that Cy- ms, her own betrothed husband, wai tho lover of Barbara Ooldiug. “Does lie love her yet ?" the girl thought, push ing back the hair from tier pale face, and looking in tho mirror. “Inmfai handsomer. Hlio is pretty only, sweet and fair. T am handsome and accom plished. She is a pauper, I am wealthy ' Cyrus is not poor now, siuco his aunt died; but he will riso to cminenco witli my wealth to aid -him, while sho will lie lmt a burden up m him. Only n woek. Long before Barbara can oven sit up, wo shall bo on our way to Etiroi>o, and ho will soon forget her. Why did lie seek mo if lie loved hor ? It was only a request of his auut's, uot a command, that ho should marry mo if I consented. Cut ho camo to mo, and I lovo him—1 love him 1 Oau Barbara givo him bettci lovo than mino ? I can givo her money to return to her old homo, if sho wishes I But if ho loves her I Oh, Gyrus, do yon lovo her and not mo ? I eaimot doubt I I mnst know I” As if in answer to tho thought, a ser vant rapped at tho door, and, opening It, Fannio was haudod Gyrus Lennox’s onrd. "I wilf como down at ouoo,” sho said, taking off her hat and smoothing her disordered her. Hho was not sorry that hs had called whilo tho first exoitoment of her discovery nervod her with a fic titious strength to enduro any word she might spunk. Bhe oamo to him quiotly, dignified ns ever, but very pato, so pale, bo asked anxiously if sho was woll, “Well, but tired,” sho answered. “I havo bccu ont thin morning.” They talked of indilTerout matters for a short time; then Fannio ssid, earnestly: "Cyrus, I have a craving desire to ask you one true woman's question. Will you promise mo a sincere answer ?” He hesitated a moment, then said: "I will answer truthfully whatove! you ask.” “Did you ever love any other woman before you know mo?” “Do you uot think it enough to know I love you now ?” ho said. “You promised men sincero answer, and you givo mo an evasion," slio said, reproachfully. “B oanso you naked mo to tear open an old wound your love Is healing,” “Yet, even if it pains both von and me, I bog you toll me of your first love.” Fannio’s lips woro pnrohod and stiff, but she spoke oalmlv. ".Siuco you insist, 1 ’ Cyrus said gravely, “I wiil tell you. Two years ago, iu a fnrm-lioiiHO where I was boarding I met a woman, or rntlier a girl, a swoot, fair maiden, whom 1 loved, I wns n poor man, then, Fannio, and she had n happy, pleasant homo. Bo I hade hor farewell, hoping to return tliouoxtyoar and bring her homo to tho oity. Whon I did ro- turu the farm was sold, and Barbara hud gone away. Nono of tho neighbors could toll mo anything of her.” "It was yonr place to seek hor I” “I did, faithfully. But I could find no traoo of hor whereabouts. In tho autumn my aunt died. Bhe lmd loved yon for years, aud hor last wish was the trope tlurt you wonid one day be my wife. It waa a sweet solace to mo oven in my sorrow for ber loss, and pain at Barbara's disappearance, to have your sympathy, aud I soon found there was vet room in my liourt for a trno, fonder love. Ion cannot believe 1 would have asked you to bo my wife bad I not loved you?” “But if, ovon now, you fonnd Bar bara ?” “I havo long ngo ooaBod to seek her I” “Yet, if she oamo to you ?" “You are my betrothed wife?” "Yet if Barlmru oamo to yon, poor, friendless and siok ; if she told yon she iind oomo to the city seeking work, hoping to find you, and bad sunk undor her burden of loneliness and toil; if sho told you, that ragged, footsore and weary, she had looked in at you in your cosy oflioo, nud turned away unwilliug to throw tho burden of hor poverty npoD you; if nho had struggled till sho had faiuted nud fell sick, and was gaining health slowly, hopelessly, with no future before btr but a future of poverty and toil; if Barbara oamo so to you, Cyrus, whnt would you say ?” Bnt only a pallid face, with great oends of perspiration upon the broad brow, was lifted in spoeohlesB agony to moot her eyes. Only largo brown eyos, wistful and suffering, appealed to hor womanly heart. There was a deep t^Ienoo in tho room for n long time. Thun a hoarse voice said : “You havo soon Barbara?” "Yes, I have aeon hor.” "As you describe ?” “yes I” “And you despise mo as faithloss to her and to sou ?” “No. I do not despise you 1 I am lorry that you did not know your own heart bettor, when you oamo to ask me to bo your wife,” All her pain aud lovo was well hidden in the cold, proud vole.o which Fannie Pleasanton assumed, to cover her break ing hoart. But nfter a moment, sho said, more gently: “Barbara has been very ill, and is still too weak to bear any great agitation. You must be patient and leave hor to me. When sho is woll enough, yon shall see her.” “Fannie, yon will break our engage ment ? You will dure tho gossip that will be tlie result ol any change now ? You will not trust mo totoar out this old love aud lie ever true and faithful to you? I am not so weak but I cau do bo if you will trust me." “But I will uot!” waa the quiot reply; ‘I will marry no man whose hoart is not all mine. I will havo no memory of another lovo for my constant rival. We can still bo friends, Cyrus, but never again lovers. He had no words to meet the steady resolution of her voice, but yet ho took no ooward’s plea for shelter. lie would not say, even to his own heart, “She never loved mo; she Is glad to throw me off,” He knew she had loved him, be ing too purely womanly to give her band whero she had uot alrondv given her heart, no knew the sacrifice sho was making, ne took both her little cold (lands in his, lifted them reverently to liis lips, sayiug : “May God bless yon for your good ness to hor. I will oomo again when you send for me.” Bo lie left, tier, carrying tho dream of future happiness slio lmd carried six months next hor heart with him. Hho would not trust horself to think. Obtaining tho dootor's permission, she brought Bartmrn so her own stately homo and nursed her back to health, restoring her to her lovor, bnt telling hor notliiug of her own sacrifice. Before the winter snows oamo there was a quiet wedding, for tho doctor hod strongly urgod a warmer olim&te for tho invalid. She wns very happy, this pale, little Bnrlmrn, when sheltered by her hus band’s love, she took leavo of her kind friend, and went nway to seek tho soft air of Florida, to court koalth in bslmly southern breezes. Hlio was very trappy in ber hnsbnnd's tender oare, his onross- ing affection in tho winter months when even the warmth and frngranco of Florida air would not bring liaok the lost strength. Little by little she faded nway, nlwnys gentlo and loving, always lrapp.V, ovon when slio lay dying, in her husband's loving nrms ; nover guess ing nny divided love or duty had ovoi threatened to separnto them. Gently and painlessly, ns a Imho sinks to slum ber, little Barbara snnk into tho lost onrthly sleep, her head'upon her hus band’s breast, his tender words soothing her, his loving touch oarossing her. Softly they laid hor under tho ever green verdure of tho southern grass, and Cyrus turned his faoo lromoward, widowed and sorrowful. ’ Two years Inter Fannio Pleasanton re turned from her European trip, taken immediately after Barbara's wedding. Her old homo wns unchanged, hor nuut glad to comu back to hor housekeeping and friends. A liltlo paler, a little graver, Gyrus found her wliou lio camo to call,* but still the gentle, dignified woman ho re- ujernbe td, tho trno companion his soul craved, Never to living onm did ho tell tho so- orot ho learned m his brief married life, . tho secret that Barbara, sweot, gentle 1 Barbara, whoso girlish bounty bad won his love, whose deepest pity had stirred his deepest pity, was not the soul wifi ne hoped to find. Gentlo, loving, snf- ferlug, sho appealed to his protection, his pity, and ho gave her both iu full measure. But ho know, only too soon, that sho could nevor moot him heart to heart as Fannio could ; oonld nover bo bis truo life companion. Ho was loyally true to her memory, speaking uo word of his secret disappointment, But ho sought Fiuinio with a lover's eagerness, a lifo’H devotion, aud Fannio, loving him with hor wholo heart, anew it was no divided homage he offered her, when, for the second time, ho asked her to bo his wife. Hlio lmd mado hor saorifioe, and know that sho tied soothed Barbara's passage to the grave, not hastened it. And with a dear conscience, a deep, abiding lovo, she one,! more put lior baud into tlmt of Oyrus L minx mid became Liu faithful, dearly loved wife. A COLD IN THE HEAD. The Family Doctor Trlln tin WIlut ll to, noil Wlmt to Do lor It* Tho oommonost typo of cold is that called “cold in tho head,” to distinguish it from “cold on the chest." This “cold in tho head” has certain well-marked symptoms—n feeling of general iii“/nlse is experienced, olton acoonipanieilby a slight fevorish sickness. Then conn s ii sensation ot fulness in the head, there is sneezing, profuse llow of tears, uti ir ritating ulid copious discharge from the nose, ’this means that tlio mucous lucuibrnno of tlio noso is inilamed, and if this spreads down tho back of tlio throat, tlio sufferer becomes bonne. Tho Lent wny to trout tliiu troublesome complaint is to tnko a "hot drink.” An orungo sliced and put into a largo clip witli a liltlo sugar sprinkled over it, nnd boiling water poured upon it, and then drunk as hot as possible, is both ploasaut nud benofioial. Tlio feet should bo put into liot water, with or without a little mustard. This foot butli should bo tnkeu at tho hedsido; the patient should bo well wrapped up, nnd n blanket placed across his knees should bn drawn outsido tlio bath, so ns to confine the stenrn. After keeping tho feet in Iho water for from five to ten minutes, tho patient should loso no ttmo in getting into bed, where ho will probably derive grent benefit from (lie general feeling of wai mill, aud from tho llow of perspira tion which has been induced. If pos sible, at this stage, the pationt should remain in bed for two days, with a fire in his room, which should lie made up at night, so ns to keep alight till morn ing. But keeping in bod will do lilllo good if tho patient persists iu holding a newspaper or a book to read, for there by ho ia more dangerously exposed to cold than if lio were up, dressed and going about as usual. Tho main point is to koop thoroughly wrapped up nnd ooiiBiautly warm. Even an uncomfort able degree of heal may be beneficial. A small piece of camphor ohewed nuu sucked is very good. Bo is tho inhala tion of sulphurous aoid gus—a remedy which warn found to be in constant uso by tho weavers of Kirenlily, who had it among (ho mntoriuls of their work. Buy two ounces of sulphurous acid (dilute) from a chemist, and then take out tho cork aud inhale—through tho nostrils only, of course—tho puugont gas which is givou off. Homo uso Ferrier’s snuff, anil find benefit therefrom; but it must bo used cautiously, as it contains a pow erful drug—to wit, morphia. Ten or twelve grains of Dover’s powder taken iu gruel at bodtime is good for an adult, but should not bo administered to chil dren, ns it contains opium, which should never be given to them without a doc tor’s proscriptiou. To avoid au un- pleasnut excoriation of tho nose nud upper lip during the oourso of n cold iu the head, they should be often washed thoroughly with Boap and luko warm water, and n littlo vaseline should beup- plied. It tho throat feels sore, a elilor- nto of potash lozenge should lie sucked occasionally. Lost Their Trees. Tho Japanese aro wailing over tho wholesale destruction of their forests, The foot is, Japan has becomo far too civilized, and is suffering from au “over pressure” of western ideas. The Japan ese had a keen oyo to business once, but now tlioy seem to keep that eye closed. Of course, somo of their ancient pro tective customs were a littlo childish, such as their not working mines, as by so doing they would bo robbing their successors of the wealth hid in the earth. In protecting the mulberry-tree they showed wisdom, for tho silkworms fed on the mulberry-tree, aud the culti vation of silk is one of the richest industries of Japan, The troo from which tho varnish known ns lacquer oozes, waa also protected. Civilization, however, has taught the Japanese that tho felling of trees means ruouey. The forests have been hewn down, Mulberry and lacquer tree3 have gone with the rest. Tho geose-trees that grew tho golden eggs havo been killed. This is the new civilization. The old iguoranco demanded that when a man uprooted ono tree he had to plnnt two iu its stead. ODDS AND ENDS.

TnE OONNEOTIOtrr HOUSE WAXES ELO QUENT OVKIt SOME RESOLUTIONS. In the Connecticut Jlonso of Ropro- sontativos Mr. Collier, of D.irion, intro duced the following: “Resolved, Tljat, linving hoard with abhorrence of the attempts to destroy tlio Housos of Parliament in Great Britain, and of tho imperiling thereby of the lives of innoooiitnnd unsuspecting persons, the General Assembly hereby declare its condemnation of such detoat- ablo crimes ngaiiiRt humanity, law, or der aud civilizition." One or two of the members protested .bat the State of Connecticut bad no business with snob n resolution. Law yer Pigott, of New Haven, had tho reso lution tabled long onougb for him to prepare tho following as an nmendmeut: “But, iu tho adoption of this resolu tion, the General Assembly remember with equal feeling of horror tho maB- snero of her sons nt Fort Griswold iu tho Revolution by British troops, the saok- iug of our national capital iu the war of 1812 by British troops nnd tho letiing looso of privateers from English ports to prey on our commerce in the Into wnr; and that we do not acknowledge by the passage of tho above resolution nny responsibility on the part of any Ameri can for the outrages complained of," This nonplussed the legislators still more, nud gallons of eloquenoe were di rected against the amendment. Ono man thought it idle to fight the Revolu tion over again. Another that the dynamiters might operate on tho locnl capitol, and still another that the Legis lature wns more likely to be blown np with wind than with dynamite. Tho amendment was finally made a humor ous football, and Editor Troup, tho senior member from New Hoveu, sar castically proposed this amendment to the junior member’s amendment: "Resolved., That we are likewise op posed to the persecution of St. Paul," This brought the House down in roars of laughter. Mr. Troup said Connecticut hnd no diplomatic relations with Eugland, aud very likely Queen Victoria would not hear of their action anyway. Mr. Troup’s amendment wus withdrawn. Mr. Pigott’s was unani mously tabled, aud the Collier resolution was passed. A New Field. Fifteen years ago Lendert Da Brazen, a Hollander, was a poor gardener near Kalamazoo, Mioh., trying to make a living off of some marshy land he had purchased. After other things had tailed, he experimented with celery and is now a rioh man. What was a dozen years ago a swamp is to-day a vast celery field, beside which a hundred acre lot is but a garden. The shipping season be gins iu July, increases until the holidays, then gradually decreases until the crop is disposed of iu the spring. Fifty tons doily are now being sent ont, and tlio crop of 1884 will reach 5,000 tons. Twenty thousand stalks are raised upon un acre of ground, It is said that 2,000 poisons iu that locality are engaged lu this industry. Off lor Africa. A TARTY OF MISSIONARIES AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO BAILED FOB THAT DARE CONTINENT, Two score of men, women and children in homely garb went down tho long pier of the Inman lino, surrounded by a hun dred enthusiastic Methodists from Brooklyn, They struggled up the gnug plank of tho Oity of Montreal. Tho people in homely garb were tho mission aries who aro going to join Bishop Wil liam Taylor and pouetrate Ooutral Africa under tho direotion of the Method ist Church. Tho 100 Methodists who camo toleo them off stood around them on tho nppe deck of the steamship un til the bitter wind impelled them to go bolow. There they remained until a boll jangled nud a stout officer shouted “All nshore I” Then men, women, and children em braced and kissed and cried, and all the Brooklyn Methodists ran down the gang plank outo the pier. Tho vcyngors, ex cept tho children, got upon a small mountain of baggage, aang “Wo will meet on that beautiful shore,” nnd waved their lints and haudkerohiofs. The hun dred Methodists on shore also sang nnd waved thoir hands and anything thnt waa in them. A tug pulled the big ship ont into the stream. Tho Methodists immediately ran to tho end of the pier and stood there iu the bitter winter broezo until the voyagers, singing all tho while, woro uudistinguislinblo. They expoot to got to the Portngueso seaport Lonnda, about two hundred miles south of tlio Congo, in about five weeks. From Loauda thoy intend to go by boat 120 miles np tho Ouanza River, They expect to travel tho rest of tho 1,000 miles in tho heart of Africa on foot. Miss Myers, one of tho party, reoeived a tologram tolling hor of hor father's death, Viut sho said that would not keep her home. Hevornl members of the party linvo gono on iu advance, nud among them nro Bishop Taylor nnd Dr. Somers. Bishop Tuylor expects to pre side nt a missionary conference in Mon rovia, Liberia, nud to join liis pnrtv in Lonnda, Dr, Somers is in England col lecting information that will bo.sorvicc- nblo during the march into tho Interior, Tlio t'rosnrean Operation, DY ITS AID A M1DGF.T GIVES RIRTH TO A CHILD OF ORDINARY SIZE. A dispatch dated Syrnonso, N. Y., says: Mrs. Charles G. Roberts, hotter known as tho "Midget,” was taken ill on Wednesday, nud ut two o’elook was delivered of a mnlo child weighing seven and a half pounds by the Cieinreau operation, Au examination by thu physicians showed that tho ohild was ia a transverse positicn, and iu order to save tho lifo of tho littlo wouinn this un- | natural means was resorted to, Tho child iivod but a few hours. The con dition of tho patiout is hopeful. Mrs. Roberts was formerly Miss Frankie Thompson, nud was born iu Syrnonso. She is thirty-two years old, tliirty-threo iuolios tall nnd woighs only about forty pouuds, Sho was married aliout two yoars ngo to Mr. Roberts, who is six feet tall nnd heavily built. They were married whilo traveling as members of tho samo oompnny id ‘lie West. Ho was a musioian. Tlioy havo traveled together uud exhibited in New York and Boston.

By his first wife he hnd throe ohild roil, by his second nine aud by a third eleven. Among the latter number was Fraukio, She was per fectly formod at birth, and whon a week old weighed only three pouuds, clothes included. When sho was threo yenrs old Mr. F. T. Baruum offered her father $8,000 for tho privilege of exhibiting hor one yenr in New York. Tho offer was refused. At ono time after her father’s death Frankie engaged in dressmaking, standing up to run hor sewing maohiuo. Fourteen yoars ago sho formod her first engagement with a Wostorn oompnny to travel. Her last engagement wus iu Minneapolis. Tho physicians hope to save her lifo. If thoy do it will be ono case in twenty, they soy, after an opera tion of this kind.
