THE GRAVE.

q
From the Albany Family Newspaper, Of 1898.
Died, in this city, Charles F. Ames,
printer young man Of rare genius, pre-
cipitated to an untimely end by the demon
Of lntemperance. Not long since, under
the influence Of sober reflection, and anima-
ted, no doubt, by a sincere resolution to re-
form his habits, this ilLfated young man
wrote and published the following penitent
and beautiful lines but, alas ! his resOlu-
ton was not equal to the sincerity Of his
penitent emotions-and relapsing into his
former habits, he soon found an untimely
grave. We do not wish to be harsh-bui
still we must say, hat it is a serious ques
ton, whether those who sold or presented Ii
quor TO this miserable young man, may no
be justly considered murderers, at least in
moral sense. Mr.. Ames had not only a fnt
poetical genius, but we saw, not long befor'
his death, a letter which he wrote on busi
ness, and we have never seen a mora ele
giant or appropriate production Of the kind
it was indeed a masterpiece in its style, am
peculiar fitness for the occasion. Mr.. Anne
worked last, as a journeyman, in this Office
and for a short time we had hopes that b
would reform but these hopes were evanca
cent, and are now entombed with the re-
les of that genius which, but for one ruiz
GUS propensity, might have shOne forth h
ornament and pride Of its native clim'
which, We believe, was that Of New En-
land. It is to be hoped, however. that Il
following lines, though their unhappy an
lamented author had not the resolution
live up to them, may not in all cases be a
seed sOwn upon a rocky soil. We cannot b
add, what must be the feelings Of those,
any feelings they possess, who, while th,
think of the untimely grave Of the write
r~ecolloct that by furnishing him with drinl
by tempting him. in his own words. "

sdge Claiborne -
Z thatat this time the
[dge Dick Claiborne. under
.sked hat and enormous prerog-
OF Parish Judge, swayed the scep-
. Of the Northwestern Louisiana, with
a potentiality and vigor that are hardly
equalled at the present day by the Gar
of Russia. As an illustration Of the
Judges exalted idea Of his prerogalIve,
we will relate a little anecdote Of him.
Among the multifarious duties and pows
ers ofthe Parish Judge was that of auc-
TONER. He sold all the property Of sue
eessions in his Parish. 1t happened on
q occasion, when the Judge was in the
performance Of his duties as auctioneer,
in selling out the property Of a deceased
grocer, that an unruly parishioneF kicked
IN a Robbery, and disturbed the order Of
proceedings. The Judge fined him fifty
dollars, and sent him to jail for contempt
of court. An application was made tc
him by an Attorney to remit the hne
and release the prisoner, on the ground
that it was no contempt o fcourts as the
Judge. when fulfilling the duties of an
auciioner, was not a court, and therefore
not an object Of contempt. The Judge
Immediately drew himselfu up with all hi
dignity and conscious power, and re-
piled, "Sir, I'll let you know that an
Judge of this parish; Judge all the tim'
Judge from the rising ofthe sun to tht
going down thereof, and as such, always
an object Of contempt"

A SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Going to Albany on Wednesday afternoon,
we Witnessed a Circumstance showing the
tact that animals have strong sympathy
with other animals in distress. On the rioht
hand side of the road suice way had been
provided for the water from the ADJOINING
fields, aud on The banks by the fence the grass
was growing finely. THIS, il seems, had
tempted horse, noble animal, to venture
alongside, bu. by some mis.step he lost his
toolhod, aud was precpitated into the ditch
below, the water nearly covering his BODY,
and his head lying little one side. At the
time we saw the animal in this condition, a
COW was alongside of him, striving her best
TO extrcae him from his unfortunate plight.
She had got his neck between her horns, and
was making powerful efior, TO raise him;
and as one trial failed, she redoubled her OK.
erions for anoiher-,he horse at the same
time struggling his best. The beastly af.
lection, SO to speak, which was exhibited by
the COW towards the horse, will by many be
regarded as fabulous; and we confess we
should think so ourselves mad we not wit,
messed it.-Troy Wkis.
