spoke. 'It is only you I am worried

the truth.
Insido the cottage poor Grace P'oor
ly lay on her hardl bed trying to
breathe on a little longer, so tihe
good flol might send some good
friends before she died to care for her

WhenI the dloor opened her eyes
brightened, and she raised up a
little.
'Ther Lord bless ye for coming. I
know Ile will,' she said as Edith
threw olff' her wet covering and went
toward her.
'This in only one of the boarders
who came with me,' she said in reply
to thie womanI's jquesntioning look. 'I
ishould have come to-day Ihad I known
thalt you were wore.'
Shie sat downI beside the bed, and
Anson Grey watchedl her utsshe spoke
in a low, tender voice to tihe grateful
woiman. Among lthe words which he
eould distinguinsh was a promsleo to

AftAr that night Anison Grey knew

The feelimig of distrust, abuse and
hate of time South in the Republicans
of tie North exhmibite all time symp
toms of a mania. It is fuil of irrele
vancy, irrationality and untruthful
ness. Even your local elections of
State, couity, city and town offieers
are dominated by this feeling of ha
tred and distrust of time Soutit. It is
founid in your bar rooms, counting
houses ainul pulpits. It is beyond
reasoin, and, I fear, beyond remedy.
I see no evimlence that tIhe North
"is weary of sectional strife." Time
Republican party liveson and thieves
by this sectional strife. Bad men
speculate on it, and denmiagognes ply
it as the best means of getting office.
-LSenator 11ill, of Georgia.
Am abundance of guests and limited
lodging rooms caused Jimmie to be
"slept out" at a neighbor's. On
arising in the morning he was invited
to remain at breakfast. "Well, I
guess not," he replied; "we have
mighty good breakfasts at our house
when we have company."
BILL SBLES ATING DEVIL.
When we were boys, Bill Slke and
I, we were great cronies. With me
there was nobody like BIl, and with
Bill there was nobody like ''aHef.
We were both what would be terned
hard cases. If any mischief was done
in the neighborhood, Bill and I were
sure to come in for our share of ,the
blame.
Aboig Christmas times we always
had a ieal of fan such as building
rail pens and putting calves and pigs
in the u per story, hanging plows
'pig kettles,' or anything we could
lay hands on, high up in trees, to pe
plex the owners.
I recollect one Christmas eve, Bill
and I set out to have a rich time of it.
11ill was to fix up, and act as devil,
and we were to go around and fright.
en the oungsters out of their wits.
Accordingly, we arranged a grum
looking slcap with horns ofit and
pilaced it upon his head, an then
made a fiale face for him out of red
flannel, wrapped him lan a white
shoet, and started. There were sev
oral boys with us, and by them I was
na mously elected to go before
e the old folks at each house
a of what was going on, so that
we would not get ourselyes into a
scrape
e first house in our route was
Uncle Jake Bond's. I went in, made
somie errand, and as soon as possible
slipped the joke to the old man and
woman. It was allJght with them,
and so I went on a d reported to my
companions. In a short time Bill,
alias devil, poked his singular looking
head in at the door and great scrump
tion such a scatterment as took
place. Girls, boys, eats and every
thing else, excepting the two old
ones, tumbled up stalrs like an earth
(quake. In we all bustled, and such a
laugh as we hadwl; and how the girls
slapped our faces for frightening
them s) badly. This was a glorious
beginning, and so we were almost
crazy to get to the next house.
After partaking of some doughnuts
and some other little cakes that had
been cut out with a thimble, and
which the girls called kisses, we star
ted for Major Allen's. I went on as
usual, and knocked at the door.
'Come in,' said a sweet voice, I
obeyed the command and found Jane,
the Major's only daughter, all alone.
'Where's the old folks ' asked I.
'Gone over to grandfrather's,'she re
plied, sweet as sugar.
'Very sorry,' said 1, 'for I hald Im
iportant business with the old man.'
She anssured me they would be back
in a short time ; and tilling a plate
with hominiy' fronmt a large kettle,
where it was boiling on the lire, she
invited mne, with oue of the prettiest
smiles you over saw, to sit down and
wait 0iii it cooled, amid then eat some
with her.
I looked at the big plumb grains
all bursting o pen in tie plate, and in
haled the delicious odorl that arose
fromi them, then I looked at the sweet
faco and sunny smile of my would-he
entertainer, and you'd better believe
I wished 111il and tihe rest of the boys
in Guines. I felt sune that all the
fun we could see would be nothing
to compare with eating 'hominy
with Jane Allen, yet I dared not act
the traitor. So I pretended I had no
time to spare, and bidding her good
evening, I hurried back to my conm
anionts.
WIJjyo,' said I, 'Jane's all rlone by
herself. It wouldn't le right to scare
her no I,,id-let's go to Irown's ?'
'No, by gIttmt,' said Bill, 'I would
tint misn that chance for a hundred
dollaus. hue slighted men the other
day at singing school, and now I'll
endeavor to pay her back for it.'
I still remonstrated, btit in vain,
Bill was resolute, so Ilhad to give in.
As we neared the hoets,, Bill said:
"Now, boys, whIateVer you do,
dotn't say a word, nor latIgih, nor
nothing, aind after I've scared her,
we'll slip off, and she'll never know
who, nor what it was.'
We all agreed, and after we had
Ibeiit stationed areound the chimney
to hear her scream, Bill walked in.
'Good pvitniuiug, Mt. Devil,'said tihe
namiie swee.t voice that a few minutes
befoie had bid mee to conie in; 'good
evenaitig. I suppose you are nsed to
warni tfluids;' and forthwith we heard
a 'splurge' us if a gomtrd had found its
way into the pot of boiling hominy,
remd then came a splash and a cry,
not such a one as we expected to hear,
btt one of Bill's genuin esqualls on
the highest key. We all ran in and
saw the hot water r ippinug down
fromn Bill's cranium, while lIe was
stamtnping around like nmadness, tear
ilg horned cap and false face from
his head. Jane, the iaschievous lit
tIe elf, was standing up by the cup
oHard as though site would go into
spastn. Fortunately, 13il had re
ceived no lusting injury, but I assure
you it put an end to our fun for thtat
night. The joke had been turned
on us when we least expected it,
aid so we went itome, feeolng rather
done for. T'ie story aoon got out,
and for a long time Bill went by the
name of Mr. Devil.
POOR GRAMMAR BE1!R&YED HIM.
[Evening Aitburnian.]
Prof. Thoman, recently coitnected
with Butler University, was noted
chiefly for his exactness in the use of
vernacular. One night he was awake
ned at an unseemly hour by discordant
sounds of miduigitt revelry from the
direction of a student's bedroom.
Dressing himself hastily he hurried
dlown the hall, and, aftera few knocks
on the bolted door to enforce silence,
he called out, "Hi. you fellows in
there! Can't you make less noise ?"
"WIto's out there ?" was the re
sponcs.
"It's me."
"Who are yout"
"Prof. Thomas."
"You're aliar. You can't fool us.
Thomas would have said, 'It is I.'
Come on, boys, just once more."
And the strain of "Landlord, fill the
flowing bowl 1" resounded through
the house till daylight. The affair
was never alluded to by the Professor.

FIGHT SIMILAB TO InPT. PAT.I'.
One of the most remarkable fights
in thme annals of Indian warfare took
place 11 years ago when Congress
having authorized the em loyment of
frontiers-moen against the Indians,
then very troublesome, Gen. Goo. A.
Forsyth, then and still upon Sher
danm's staff, was selected to head an
expedition of 50 picked men from the
Kansas border.
At 5 o'clock on the evening of the
eighth dlay out the commandwwent
into camp on the Arickaree ford of
the Republician, which just at this
point divided and surroanded a sort
of islanud-a strip of sand amid gravel
about a hundred yards long, round
which flowed the "river,"If tmhat name
can be applied to a stream thenu some
eight feet andl two or three. inches
deep. 'There was only one day's pro.
vislons left, but Forsyth, feeling that
lie was within striking distance of the
hostiles, resolved to go on niext day.
At dawn of the morrow the gnard
gave the alarm, "indians I" Forsyth
instantly ordered his men to lead
their horses to the '!iland" and tie
themr to the few budies that grew
there in a circle, and lying on the
sand within the line of animals sell
their lives as dourly as possible. Thus
begain the fight, the Indians in turn
dismounting and crawling in the sand
uip to within a short distance of the
island to open almost at polmid-ldauk
range a galling fire on the party from
Hpnceer atnd Henry rifles. So soon
as it was daylight and the Indians
could be distinguished, 8t was found
that they were surrounded by nearly
a I hinonsaid warriiors, Brules, Sloux,
Clievciines and I)og Soldiers.
T'Vie first care of the besieged was to
initrenchi themselves by throwing up
with their knives little mounds in the
form of a circle. Ere this work was
accsomiplishield two meni had been killed
mid several wounded, Forsytli among
themn.
On the fourth day the main body of
Inidians departed, leaving a small in
vestiig force. The wounds of the in
jured were rudely dressed, shelters
were contructed, and soup made from
horso-flosh. On thie sixth day, how
over, the first traces of gangrene set
in, and time entire party wa. almost
overpowered by thie intolerable stench
from the carcasses of time dead horses.
Food there was none. Forsyth as
sembled the men, and bade those who
preferred staying in the camp and
taking their chances of aid coming
from the fort. All voted to stay to
gether till thie end. They lived on
putrid horse-flesh rnbled with gun
powder for two more dmiys. On the
25th, Colonel Carpenter, with the
cavalry, camne sip from Fort Wallace
which Trudeau and Stillwell 44
reached in safety. "When lie reachel
tihe island he found the defenders in
the most pitiable candition, yet the
survivers were detemmined to be
plucky to the last. Forsyth himself,
witl rather different success, affected
to be reading an old novel that le
had (liscovered in a saddle-bag; but
Col. Carpenter said hIis voice was a
littlejunsteady and his eyes were some
what deem when ihe held out his hand
to Carpenter and bade him welcome
to "Beechier's Island," a name that has
since been given to the battle ground.
Of the 51 men who went into thp
fight ciglit were killed, eight were dis
abled for life and 12 others were
wounded. The Indians, who were 17
to i, admitted subsequently a loss of
75 killed.
Come out late my gorden, love,
Whene pertfme. fills the air;
I'll gather the fairest busmnems, love,
To deck your sunny hair.
Oh, no, dear George, she sadly slghed
I can't enjoy such bluNlaes;
Ma ays I most stay at hone
And wash the supper dishes.

and a muslin bag, like a lp rgepIllow

the outside of the sheet is sometimes

whose bodies are burned are supposed
to be warm in the next world and the
others cold. They believe in tietrans

are often cast into the sea. At the
funeral of chiefs the traditions and
history of the tribe are rehearsed. if
these ceremonies are not conducted
properly, the water of death swallows
up the departed soul, or it is lost in
the forests. But, if conducted pro
perly, the chief of the gods speaks the
word, and the water of death is small,
and the soul is carried to a place of
rest or forgetfulness. Then after a
long time it comes back to some de

DEATH OF THE PRINB8 OF
BANDITS.
Frnn thie London Telegraph.
Gasparone, once the terror of his
countrymen as well as their pride,
died a few days ago, at the ripe age
10, in the Csia del Poverl, at Abbia
tograssi, in Lombardy. In the good
old daysof Bomba, Gregory XVI. and
the Archdukes, le was known
throughIout Calabria the Campagna,
nid 'Tomseany, in all of which terri
tories he at different times plied his
perilous profession as 'time Prince of
Brigands,' and 'the King of the
Mountains.' When the Papal States
were annexed by Victor Emmanuel,
in 1870, Gasparone was under a
cloud. lie hadfor many years occu
pled a casemate in the Umnbrian fort
ress of San Leo, and as, according to
Italian law, his offense, was con
doied by the unconsoconable dura
tion of his imprisonment, he got the
benefit of the limitation statutes, and
was set at liberty, being, at tie time
of his emancipat on, over 80 years
old. He came to Rome and took up
his residence in the Transtevere;
but as ihe, oddly enough, became the
object of successive popular ovations
which were considered offense to
public morality, and, moreovet,
caused serious disturbances in the
streets, tihe Italian Government re
solved to remove him from the Capi
tal and caused him to be transfer
red to Abbiategrasii, whge he has
just died, universally respected.
Gasparone was an exceedingly hand
some old gentleman, of dignified
hearing and exquisitely courteous
manners. During his honorable re
tirement in tihe Casa del Poveri lie
was wont to narrate with charming
frankness the thrilling exploits of his
younger days, and tenderly to de
plore the reprehensible obstinacy of
some of his 'clients,' whose stubborn
ness in declining to pay up the sumas
fixed by hlim for their ransom had
compelled him to treat thenm with a
severity as distressing to himself as it
could possibly be to them. He would
never admit that he had taken more
than 28 lives with his own hand upon
these more than sileient grounds for
irritation; and plumed himself parti
cnlarly upon having invariably been
a merciful as well as a just man.
Peace be to his ashes!

things of life that worry and, fret us.
