mortal beauty as the persuasive to viz

writings, and oken finger ever their
pages. But, after all, what do we fad
in the brilliant rhapsodicse It is thS'
spirit Of poetry, which silrers the uaEla

ASHLAND ASHLAND COUNTY, OHIO, WEDNESDAY MOI

Necessary for deliberation. just MS she
reached that spot where the hollow wi
dcned, and / by jump could reach her,
I made desperate spring and caught
hold firmly, with both hands, of the fur
which covered her extremitiss, giving,
at the same time, scream which, in
this close den, sounded q Thousand times
louder than any human voice in the open
air. The bear-and she was power
full one-taken by surprise, and unable
to get ct me, and frightened too at the
hideous and appalling noise made,
ambled for life up the hollow. But
my weight, 1 found, was small imped-,
iment to her, for, when abou: half way
UP, I perceived she begun to lag, and,
notwithstanding my continued scream.
ing at length came to a dead stand, ap-
pareutly not having strength to proceed.
Knowing that my life depended on her
going on, I instantly let go with the.
hand in which held the knife, driving
it to the haft in her flesh, and redoub.
ling the noise I had already made. The
pain and her fears gave her new strength,
and by another effort she brought ME
once more to the light of day at the top
of the stub; nor did she stop here to
receive my thanks for the benefit she had
conferred on me, but hastily. descended
to fhe oround mud moda bor ,x,I- wifi,

I sat for some time on the stub out
of breath, and hardly crediting the re.

giving thanks to the Providence which
had SO wonderfully preserved me, 1 de-
scended to the ground, found my gun
and coat where I had left them, and

A TALE OF THE WEST.

One coldC clustering night in Novem-
Der, when the heavens we're obscured by
dark, lowering clowds, sailing in quick
succession, propelled oa their course by
sstrong north easter, reached the sum-.
mis- of tiresome bill 10 the western
wilds, in anxious hopes of seeing some
habitation that would afford me nights
shelter from the threatening storm
There is q certain, peculiar, pleasing
melancholy, blending joy and sadpcss
IN the feelings of the human heart, that
appears to be firmly connected with the
appearance of an autumnal day; that,
however strong may be tho dcsiie to
clothe the mind with cheerfu'ness, We
cannot wholly divest ourselves of those
Undesirable melancholy sensa tiors.
Thus did I feel amid the wilderness of
nature, with every circumstance tending
to increase the loneliness of my situa-
tion, when my ear caught the indis,inct
sounds of the barking of dog. With
the intense anxiety of uncertain hope,
spurred my 6earied horse briskly on,
and, when just emerging from narrow
defle. an old dilapidated building, with
rude board suspended from branch
of an oak that toyershaded the cabin, in
dicating it to be a public house or an
inn, attracted my sight. Although the
place wore forbidding and uncomfort-
able appearance, which promised but
little refreshment to the way worn trav-
eller, I hailed it with the most animated
feelings of joy. Immediately alighted,
and, after seeing my faithful beast, which
had borne his master for many long
mile, as comfortably taken care OF, as the
circumstances would admit of, 1 entered
the rude but acceptable hebitation.
After throwing off my cloak and outer
garments, I seated myself in the bar
room, before large wood FIRE, that might
have served to roast an. OK, and,
while awaiting supper, amused myself
by noticing other travellers who came in,
aud who, in consequence of tho threat
ened storm now coming on, and the dark
ness and bad state of the roads, we're
compelled, like myself, to make this a
kaIting-piace.
Among the number who arrived was
an old man on foot, with a powder-horn
Al his belt, and gun on his shoulder,
who attracted my particular attention.
He had all the quickness Of motion and
the keneness Of eye that denoted the
hunter. He was also known to all the
household, as veil Is to some travel

a sRARP's RIFLE SERMON.

The Albany Statesman has the fol-
lowing letter from the REV. DIR. Screech-
sr to his friend and brother, Horace
Steeley,' dated at the Parsonage Of
the Church of Holy Rifles
Ny DEAR BROTHER preached last
Sunday, with great acceptance, from the
text Go ye into all the world and preach
the gospel to every crcature.' The
house was full, and I had q good time.
Much additional interest was thrown
Earound the services from the fact that q
large company of freedom -shriekers, on
their way to Kansas, were present. /
combatted the old fashioned notion, and,
think, successfully, that the religion
of the New Testament was to bring
peace on earth and good will to men.
showed the falacy of all these teachings
Of the Apostles which speak of render
ing unto Caesar the things which are
Casar's-of being subject TO the higher
powers. because they were ordained Of
God, Sc, &c. I admitted that there
was q time when these injunctions were
imperative and binding; but I proved,
and, think, clearly, that theology, like
all other sciences, is progressive, and
that steam engines and Sharp's rifles are
ao,o the true Evangels. In conformity
with this position I assumed that the
word translated preach should bo rem
dered shoot, so that the texs,'as in my
version, would read, Go ye into all the
world and shoot the gospel from Sharp's
riHcsl at every creature The more 7
reflect upon this subject tho more am
persuaded that that this is the true mode
of gospel propagandism.
With Sharp's rifles, and the Bible for
wadding, Scripture truth can be sent
directly home to hearts of the people,
and be inwardly digested by them.
Brother Kill'ena (glorious name, how
love itD has sent one of these mission
aries to Kansas, and many others among
the meek and lowIy disciples are follow
ing his example. The thing takes won-
derfulIy, and it is capital bit for the
Screecher family. My brother, it would
have done your heart good to have Wit
messed those Eansasians listening to the
truth cs it is in Screeohcr. With many
of tbom you are acquainted. They have
passed through all the phases Of Four
ierism, Socialism, aud Free Loyeism, up
to the sublime heights of RiAcism. With
their long hair slOuched hats aud blou-
ses, they were true ideals Of the Tribune
Office. But it is not alone fo- Propa-
eating the Gospel in Kansas that my
people are becoming distinguished. l
notice that one member of my church
has bet one thousand dollars that he will
find and kill the man who threw ritrol
on his child's dress few days since.
Thus the werk goes on. Let us perss-
we're, and the time viii soon como when
rifles and bowie.knives will superoedt
the necessity for Bible truth and Gospe
preaching. Fraternally yours,

MoRGANTIc MARRIAGES.

Several correspondence in the N. Y.
Times inquired concerning the natnre of
Morgantic marriages.. They are thus
answered BY contributor, who signs
himself or"
"They are quite common among the
high uabilitv of Germany, being allowed
By tho laws of Prussiast the nobility
and royal coun6:lo: 8, and il the other
German States only to the nobility. The
difference is one of these fleft-hand'
marriages from the common kind is, that
the wife is not raised by il to the rank
of-the husband, or the children placed in
the line of inheritance Of title or fortune.
But no one can contract another mar
riage while bound By one of these. Arch
duke John, of Austria, married ooun-
try'P. M'sds1ghter, whom he had educa-
ted at his expense and endowed With the
t;.le of Countess. They have lived
happily together for many years. Prince
Albrecht, of Prussia, is also thus united
to a daughter of forunes Minister of
War. Gsnernl Ranch. Likewise the iE-
famous Eleotor of Hesse Cassell found it
convcn lent to marry Countess thus.
These couples very often live much
moro happily together than chose mar
,ied by the right hand. The former
King of Prussia was united in this man
ner to a young Countess Hosg, about
1895, and raised her to the rank Of \
Princess de LeignitE. 1t was ver9
happy match"

From the Savannah Courier
LAST DAYS OF AARON BURR.

"We do not know sublimer picture
than that presented by this celebrated
man In the last hours of declining life.
His early course had been peculiarly
successful He was soldier of the Rev
olution, distinguished for courage, and
skill, and activity; his reputation had
been high at the bar as trusty coun-
sellor and eloquent advocate; be had
been successful politician, admired for
his tact, and loaded with the favors of
the people he had also been Vice Pres
ident of the United States, ana presided
over the Senate With impartiality and
dignity as he concluded his farewell
address there was not dry eye in the
chamber. Added to all these public
honors, happy domestic relations were
the crowning jewels of his shappiness.
He was proud of his descent from two
of the best stocks of the country; he
was the favored section of the houses of
Edward and Burr. He had the ehoie-
est education that could be afforded, and
his proficiency was such as to make his
nearest and fondest relations rejoice.
He had also been happy in his marriage.
the fruit of which was daughter, of
whom any father might have been proud.
She was beautiful in person, intelligent
in mind, and gifted with lively fancy
and brilliant Imagination. These nat
ural gifts had been cultivated by the
most careful education. The CONVERSE
tion of the daughter when child, was
the delight of the father, when matrcn
his pride. Given to the man of her own
and her fathers choice, who also stood
his native State as gentleman, sehol-
ar and successful statesman, she was the
mother of beautiful son, not more the
parents JOY than the grandfather's pride.
This little pledge, that the family should
not die and become extent, also bore the
name. of Aaron Burr. Thus, happy in
his public relations and domestic circle,
connected with the past by proud and
glorious remembranccs, by agolden link,
what was wanting to fill the cup of his
happiness? Nothing, perhaps, save the
right judgment of soloH, who counted
the poor and obscure though pious Athe-
niau the happiest of men in preference
to the proud and wealty Lydian King.
"In moment, in the twinklipg of an
eye, all this happiness was melted down
and became as dross; the golden reali-
ties that already reached through three
generations, became as vision that is
past. A fearful re-contsr drove Aaron
Burr, the soldier and the statesman, an
outlaw from the land. A price was set
upon his head. He was hunted from
town TO town, city to city. He f:d in.
disguise from the face of man. He was
tried for treason, and his fame black
ened forever. His small fortune grad
ually melted away. He was a wanderer
and a beggar upon the earth. His
daughter, on her way to visit him, and
soften his woes, was seized and barbar-
ously murdered by pirates. His grand.
child was cut down and Wilted in death
relatives disowned him. With all this,
Aaron Burr sunk not; he walked erect
at eighty years of age among those who
dcspised him. It was Lear facing the
Storm
