Why Biddy and Pat Married.

Why aid you take Eat for your apo e ?
Sure he's neither purty nor witty,
And his hair N as red as a. cow's?
You raighthad yourpick had you waited ;
on done a dale better with Tim;
And Phelim. O'Toole was expectin'— •
You couldn't do better nor him, ,
You talk of us yeung people courtin'—
pray tell as how your courtin' began,
When you were a widdy woman,
- And he was 0 widdy man."
"Tim and Pat, niiss, ye see, was ea nahatecl
Before they came over tho sea,
When Pat was a-courtin' Norah,

She did not know much, the poor Neral
_ Nor, for that matter, neither did Pat;
Ile had not the instinct of some one
But 110 one had then told him thee;
But he soma found it out for himself,
For life athest's but a span --
When I was a widdy woman, '
And he was alviddy man.
"I helped him to take care of Norali,
And when he compared hex with me, ,
He saw, as he whispered one evening,
What, a woman one woman could be.
She went out like the snuff of a candle;
Then the sickness seized upon Thu,
And wewatehed by his bedside togothe
It was suck a comfort to him:.

Our tears in the same chaamol ran—
For I WAS a widdy woman, ;
And he was a witicly num.

"We had both had our troubles, mavourn
Though neither, perhaps, was to blame ;
And we both knew by this what we wanted,
And were willing to pay for the same.
We knew what it was to be married,
And before tbe long twelvemonth had lown
We had made up our minds it was better I
Not to live any longer alone • '
We wasted no time shilly-shallying,
Like you, miss, and Master Dea—

—It appears from foreign advic• es that
the distress in German cities, especially
in Berlin, grows direr from day to day.
The Berlin Tagblatt reports that in
three months there have been three
thousand seizures in the capital for ar-
rears of taxes, that more than double
that number of Berlin triltdesinen are
in bankruptcy or on the verge of it, -that
the great army of unemployed, work-
men have kept themselves alive, if such
an experience may be called -life, by
clearing snow from the sidewalks, that
237 men reCently-applied or vacant
clerkship work 43.45 a week, and that a.
doctor who advertised for a housekeep-
er received 450 applications. In Mann-
heim the misery is frightful. Men

and searchthe gutters inthe hope of

A Terrible Death.
A terrible accident occurred to Mrs.
Catherine 'Louisa Voelker, at her resi-
dence. No. 4 Maple street, Buffalo, on
Saturday evening, by which her life was
sacrifieed. About 9 o'clock she was en-
gaged combing and brushing ihe hair of
Tie of her children, a little girl named
Louisa, in order that she .might be in
readiness to attend. Sunday School iu
the morning. They were seated in the
parlor, on the second floor of the house,
close to a bureau, --on which was a burn.-
ing kerosene lamp. It was in Mrs.
Voelker's way, and in removing it to a
distance she placed it in such a position
that it fell to the floor, upsetting the oil
over her dress and on - the carpet, the
lighted wick of the lamp fell out and.
ignited the oil. Instantly the clothing
of the unfortunate woman Was in a
blaze, and she rushed about the room!
in a state verging on frenzy. The child,
whose clothes had not become ignited,.
ran to a neighboring house for her
father, Henry Voelker. He immediate-
ly returned to the house, follewed 'by
two neighbors. Voelker and tteo of the
men met Mrs. Voelker on the stairs, -
and endeavored to put out the flames
with their coats, but the poor • woman
was in such a frantic state that she
pushed her :husband aside, knocked
down the two men, and got into the
alley-waya Leaning against the brick
wall of the adjoining house, she scream-
ed for ,sonie one to help her. At this
juncture, John Sauter, who resides in
the house last spoken of, came with a
large bed quilt, and the wretched wo-
man -was completely dnveloped in it,
and earried upstairs by her husband.
Every stitch of her clothing was burned
from her body, except the bands of her
under garreents. Her whole body pre-
sented a .sickening spectacle; for she
hal been literally roasted alive. A
medical Man was sent for, but -on his
arrival he entertained no hope of her
reCovery. She, however, lingered on for
an hour o± two, and died at 2 o'clock in
the niorning. Wherever the, deceased
went she left 110 traees of her -aresence.
The floors and carpets in tl.;e rooms
bore evidence of her burning -footprints ;
the liniel of the door leading, to the
stairs, against which she must have
leaned, was scorched and blisteredby.
the fire, and. the very wall in the alley- •
way showed by its blackened appear-
ance where she had stood. -The hands'
of her hueband were badly -burned in
endeavoring to extinguish the :flames,
as were also the hands of the men who -
tried to help him, particularly those of
James Deming. The contents of the
room also took•fire, but theilanies were.
speedily put out by the members of
chemical engine No. 3, to which a still
alarm bad been sent.
The -deceased was 33 years of age, and
five. little childen, whose ages range
from 14 months to 12 years, are thus.
left motherless. Voelker is a file mak-
er by trade. To use his own words, he
seid "1 served seven years in the army
and. was all through the war of the re-
bellion. I have seen death and horrors
in all forms ; have shotdown the enemy
right in front of me, but the sight of my
burning wife was more terrible than all."
Mrs. Voelker's maiden name was Wag-
ner. . She had a brother Valentine kill-
ed in the war, and another brother,
Williatn, was drowned at Frenchman's
Creek' Niagara river, six years ago; his
body was recovered 1;tt Voelker.
A Cliinese Romance in Rhyme.
An &rnerican connected with one of
the cojnsulates in China has translated
some , Chinese poems into English.
Amo 'g them are some verses which
prove alas! that the "humorist " is
abroall OVell in that fair land. The
produ tion is entitled, "Fanning the
Gray , or the Wife Tested," and tell's
how wife whose husband was sick un-
to de th promised him she Would not
mar again until the mould on his
grave should be dry. After his burial
the c nscientious widow aPplied herself
assid iously to hastening the drying of
the g 'aye by .fanning it. This accom-
plish d, she married one Chuang, who,
wish ng to test her, feigned !sickness,
avo ed that he was about toldie, and.
beso ght her not to Lake unto herself
anot er husband. .
"Oh, make your mind easy," she, sobbing, ro-
od
ave said I won't wed, and I -won't;
i 1 what grave doubts your last words im-
ed ;
t say them again, dearest, don't 1
of virtuous women in old books I've road,
my bosom with ardor has glowed ;
ulate them, I have inwardly said,
on't do the same I'li be blowed."
aung then dies contentedly, and
he is encoffined makes his escape,
ises himself as a young man, and
s love to Mrs: Chaung as together
they watch over -the empty coffin. The .
next day the funeral baked meats serve
as th wedding dinner. The unrecog- .
nisee Chaung shams illness again, and
decll res that nothing will curg him but
"the brains of a living man or of one
who as not been dead more than three
days ' "Old Chaung will do," says his
relic i - as she vanishes,' whereupon
Cha ug takes off his discru. ise and set-.

T e Antiquity , of Weaving
T e earliest records of the art of weav-
ing a e to be found in the Old Testiment.
Phaaaoh arrayed Joseph in " vestures of
fine 'nen," and Jacob ' lamented that,
his days were swifter than the weaver's ,
shut
le, the use of the simile proving
that the shuttle was a common and
-well-!known object at the time: Por-
tions; of woven cloth and a weaVer's
shutl le have been found among . the
ma
reins of the lake dwellings and asthe
latter are believed to belong to
tho stone age the origin of the art
may possibly have been nearly co -inci-
dent with the existence of man. Few,
if -au savage races have been discover-
ed al ogejler ignorant of he art, and --
man of them have brought it to a, con.:
sider ble degree of perfection; /while -
the? lies of the ancient Peruvian/a and
Egt tians show that they were skilled
weavers. Some fragments of Egyptian
cloth l were found on examination to be
w�ven with threads of about 100 hanks
to th pound, with 140 threads to the
inch n the warp, and. 64 in the woof.
Alth ugh the art was practiced exten-
sivele; , and with no mean skill, in very -
ancient times, it progressed slowly and
gradually—by small steps at long inter-
vals.

PI gue Precautions in 1831.
Th plague fright at 'Berlin has re-
calle the extraordinary precautions
take during the cholera, epidemic of
1831. A cord was drawn in front of
hous s supposed to be infected. The
keys ere givee to a police 'agent, who
three or four times a day went to _see
what the inmates wanted. He • then
place what he brought them on a
table outside near the door. The mon-
ey w s .put in a glass full Of vinegar,and
the a • ent took it out with a ' spoon.
The aper On which the commissions
were written down he took'up with a
piuce s. When a sick person was
take to hospital a police agent pre-
cede the vehicle with a bell, and tWo
soldi rs kept everyone away from the
sick- erson. The doctors :wore cloaks
and lasks of oil cloth. The skin of
dogs - -nd cats being deemed particular-
ly fa (nimble to the dissemination of
the • sease, persons were reCommended
to kil them, except where they were
positi ely necessary. Four months
the i habitants lived in trepidation, and
an ol lady actually hanged herself for
fear f the cholera reaehing her. The
preca itions gradually became matter
for ri icule.

and swering the purpose for which it
is int nded, he will not readily abandon
it for one of doubtful reptitation, or con-

are lel to make these remarks owing to
the c urse always pursued by these who

horse medicine known as " Darley's
