" 'REES’ MEMORY:

situated

longing tothe Reeses, was nat about five miles from our town of ‘T're-

- and Mr. Mathew Rees himselt fine, portly man of some forty or

favo Was © fifty years of age and a bachelor.

The only defect he had—if Farmer Rees could be said to have a defect — was what the neighbors termed the ‘loss of his head.’ He was indeed such an absent-minded man that ho would sometimes seriously reflect whether he couli have been present when he came into the world. Still this absence of mind rarely interfered with bis daily or weekly duties. He transacted his busi- ness as methodically as if he had been a-machine wound up; but if asything| new or unforseen occurred, if he were expected to remember a date ora mame or to act out of the usnal routine, the machine got out of order at once.

{le possessed, however, two memor~ ies—one within doors, one without. These were his housekeeper, Mally,and | his carter, Jehoram, familiarly called

Jeho. But they also failed him in the course of time.

‘Mally, you never reminded mel’ was the farmer’s reproef one day when he had invited a fricnd to dinner and he was himself engaged elsewhere.

‘Deed to goodness, master, I’m for- getting myself,’ was the answer. ‘Time you should be looking for a_ wife. There’s Miss Kezia, Francis Tygwyn's daughter, now.’

‘Francis Tygwyao ? Well, now, let me think. His daughter? I forget. Has hean unmarried daughter, Mally ?’

‘Lor’, master, you know that he has and she is single, they are saying for your sake. Why, you used to make love to her when you were a boy.’

‘Did1? I never remember making love in my life, Maily. I should not) know how! Did you ever make love?’

‘On my deed, master, you are funny. I've been courted many a time, but I was never of the forward sort, as Jeho will say for me, if you'll be asking him. We've been going tegether iong enough now

Rees open his eyes, and they were not destitute of the sparks of amuse- ment. In spite of his oblivious tem- perament he took in a joke at the mo- meni, even if he forgot it in the next.

Mally was justified in her assertion concerning Miss Francis. This lady had juietly allowed forty-tive years of her lite to slip by without taking to herself a helpmate, and, strange as it man seem, for the sake of Rees Manorg- wyn. Whon she was seventeen end he two and twenty, there had passed be. tween them words that he had forgot- ten, but she had stored up in her mem. ory. He had never made her an ofier —never even told her that he loved her; but, after all that, Kezia, at forty-five Was as sincerely attached to Mr. Rees as sie had been at seventeen.

Nothing further was said about Rees and Miss Francis, but ina short time Mally and Jeho were married. They retired to a tidy cottage on the Man- orgwyn estate,and the farmer found that while he had two memories out of doors he had none within. Both he and his household suffered from the loss.

‘What were you saying to me about somebody's daughter, some young wo- man, Mally ?’ he enquired, a moath or so after that worthy spinster became a matron.

‘I was telling you of Francis Tygwyn’s eldost daughter, Kezia, mas- ter. Make you haste or she'll be too old for anybody.’

‘To be sure | remember Francis Tygwyn’s Kezia. Thank you for re- mioting me, Mally; I'll tiea knot in my handkerchief—[ shan’t forget

The following Saturday he JI yywyn in the market.

‘Ah, Jones—Francis, I mean—you were the man I was thinking of. They are telling m> you've a fiae mare—no ; # young heifer. ‘Pon my soul I can’t

remember. Which is it? Francis Tyywyn's Kezi: N: ’ yewyns Kezia. Nameo’ goodness

which is it, man ?’

‘{ have a daughter Kezia, Rees,’ re- plied Francis, half amused, half offend- ed. ‘Daughter! Of course that’s what I meant; anda good daughter they tell me. How is she ?”

‘You had better come and see. It’s yeirs since you've been to Tygwyn. Suppose you ride back with me.’

Surely I was there last week about that mare we were talking of; but I dou't careif Ido take a turn there again,’

‘The two farmers trotted briskly along the turnpike, and walked their weil- fed horses quickly up the hill, reaching their destination in an hour.

English people impress you, first of all, by a sense of the genuiness of their actions and of their speech. Warm or cold tiey may be, gracious or ungracious, arrogant or considerate, but you feel that they are real. Englishmen adulterate their goods, but not their conduct. If an Englishman makes you welcome, you feel at home, and you know that, within reason, and often out of reason, he will look after your comfort— that for your well being while yeu are un- der his roof he considers himself respensi- ble. And yet he does not thrust himsel* upon you, and you may do almost what. you choose, and go almost whither you will. If he wants you to come to him he will take more trouble to bring you than you will to go, and will make no fuss about it any more than he does about the san’s rising, without which we would be in dark- ness. If he meets you and gives you two fingers, it means only two fingers ; if his whole hand grasps yours, you have his hand, and you have it most warmly at your parting. His speech is like his action. His word is his social bond ; you may trust him for all that it promises, and commenly for more. If you do not understand him well, you may suppose at first that he is indifferent and careless, until someting is dene for you, or suggested to von, that shows you that his friend and friend’s welfare have been upon his mind. —Richard G. White, in Atlantic’ Mon Aly.

A Modern Cyclops.

A CURIOUS CASE OF A MULATTO INFANT WITH ONLY ONE EYE AND THAT ONE IN ITS FORE- HEAD,

(From the New York Herald.)

In the Wood Museum attached to Bell+vue Hospital is a curiosity which is creating con- siderable interest among scientific men of this aud other cities, It is the head of a mu atto child whose deformity is revolting, but still calculated to create diseussion on the ovigin of the ancient Greek mythology. Several years agoa physician in New Orleans was in- formed that a mulatto woman had given )irth to a child which had an eye in the mid- die of its forehead. He found the state ment on examination to be true, but the deformity was much _ greater than iad been represented. The little one had neither mouth nor nose, but in place o* the nose found two perfectly shaped ears. In the middle of the forehead was a large bright eye. In a short time the infant died and its body was purchased by the physician, who shipped it to Professor James R. Chilton, of New York, for exam- ination. The captain of the barque on which it was sent concealed the fact from his crew until they were at sea, -vhen he injudiciously exposed it to view. The superstitious sailors became _hor- vified at the presencs of what they deemed a victim of the wrath of the Almighty, and after praying a while went to the captain in a body and ordered him to throw the corpse into the sea. The captain, through fear of the crew, con- sented, but managed to deceive them. Adroitly removing the head he sewec the rest of the body ima sack and gave it to his men to throw overboard, while he con- cealed the head in his cabin. On his ar- rivalin New York it was delivered to Pro- fessor Chilton. The curiosity was car ‘fully examined, and the Professor was pl epar- ing @ treatise on the subject when he died. it was transferred to Professor Doremus, and some days ago it was presented tc Dr. Woed, of Bellevue Hospital, ior his museum where it now is. Dr. Wood has reqvested Mr. Welsh, Professor of Histology at the New York College, to examine the head critically, and the examination is :o be madein afew days in the presence of a number of scientific celebrities.
