DEACON THROPEs PIGEONS.
\ CAPITAL STORY.

Several years ago, when the mast and
crops IN some Of the Western States were
about 10 be destroyed by the large number
OF wild pigeons ;hat came about, Deacon
ThroPe and several Of his friends were
sitting outside the log meeting house, on
Sunday morning, waiting for the minister
TO arrive, and, as matter Of course, talk
ing about the prospect of having nothing to
feed on through the coming winter.
It's orfuP said one Of the company. i
never see the pigeons so thick alore. Ny
Bill and Ben went down to the roost last
night, and killed bag full with clubs.
think lhey j take all my corn
Oh, yes its orful!' replied the others.
That's nothing 10 what me and my
Felix Joshua did day before yesterday
said the deacon. You know my bottom
field there? Well they come it SO thick
you couldn't see the ground. | went
down to scare 'em out, and peradventure,
they riz up like cloud, you couldn't see
the sky for 'em. hoIlered and slapped
my hands, and tore around ull was plump
worried ont, bat it did no good. They
just swarmed over my head, and as fast as
went TO one side Of the field they began
to pour down in 'Other Felix Joshua
had jest got up 10 the crib with load Of
corn, for he was gatherin' the ridge field,
and | went TO whar he was and told him
to 90 to the house and get his shot gun and
my shot gun, and see if we couldn't drive
them ar pigeons out'n the bottom field
SO he goes and gets his shot gun and my
shot gun, and we goes down. lie slipt
along one side Of the field, and slipt along
on t'other, till we got about middle ways,
and then | gin hoiler, and up they few
like a whirlagust. | biaZed away in the
thickest Of 'em, and Felix Joshua blazed
away in the thlckest Of 'em, and what do
you thak? They were all gone in a sec
ond. Then me and Felix Joshua, we
elem over the fence; and says he TO me,
Father this beats all crealion!' Says
to him, 60 fetch the steers and wagon,
and upon my word and honor, we picked
up ten bushels!'
The good brothers stared wildly around
them, and would probably have accused
their deacon of lying, had thev not been
interrupted by the arrival of the preacher,
and the announcement that meetin was
goin 10 begin.
After the services were over, little groups
of the faithful might have been seen here
and there, engaged in earnest conversation
Their subject was an exciting one, as you
| might have inferred from the length o
their faces and the earnestness of then
gestures. If you had listened to their con
versatlon you might have heard something
| about as follows:

SINGULAR CASE.

Iiceatyfve days acitiom F0od.-Mr.
Ellis, of Henrietta, Monroe county, \. Y,
cut his throat about two months since
He died on the 20th ult. The Rochester
Democrat says:
We learn that Mr. Ellis, Of Henrietta,
died on Sunday night, shortly after nine
o'clock. For several days previous he
appeared 10 decline more rapidly than
he had done since the first reaction from
the effects of his dreadful wound He
had taken little nourishment, and at times
his mind appeared to lose It's grasp of
earthly things and he spoke Of "wanllng
to 60 home" These wandering flights
were temporary, however, and he recogni-
zed persons readily at other times. His
death was calm and easy, the physical
powers ceasing from gradual exhaustion.
About the first sickness which Mr.. Ellis
had experienced, was occasioncd by a Sc
we're cold taken last winter in clearing up
a new piece Of land on his farm. From
this he did not appear to entirely recover,
his brain being apparently slightly affected
by it. Last April, he received an offer for
the purchase of one-hllf the farm on
which he resided-one of the best in that
locality, about 100 acres in extent, with a
handsome dwelling house upon it. He
accepted it. But after closing the bargain
he reflected upon ii a good deal, and came
TO the conclusion that he had parted with
the land for less than its value. This
troubled him exceedingly, and deprived
him of cheerfuIness by day and rest at
night.
On the night preceding the first of April,
he was unusually disturbed, and walked
the house continually, In the morning, he
went out into the orchard and cut his throat
severing the windppe, and making a
ghastly wound. His son followed him,
anxious respecting his state of mind, and

dying. The old gentleman was removed
to the house, and physician called, who
ascertained that the principal veins were
not severed, but considered that his death
must ensue in few hours. He continued
TO live, however, without taking a particle
of nourishmenl, for three weeks and four
days, when one of the family, responding
TO his entreaties for food, gave him piece
of potato, which she was preparing for the
table. He held il in his mouth for a while,
but was unable, of course, to swallow it.
This seemed to satisfy his immediate era
wing, and the experiment was repeated.
A few days alterward, lie said he would
like 10 get up and sit at the table with the
family at dinner, and was assisted to dc
SO. A little clam soup, of which he wa:
very fond, was given him, and small

LOST IN THE WOODS.

Nine days in tie acoods vith nothing
bit CrGIaberrics 10 eat.-We are indebted
10 Mr.. King, of NeiilisviIle, Clark county,
for the following particulars of a man lost
IN the woods. An old man in his 6Ist
year, from The Eastward, started from
Nelisville on Friday, three weeks ago. to
go 10 his sOn-inlaw's about three miles
distant. He passed acithin fifty CARDS Of
his sOn-il-iGlC'S house, who was standing
near and saw him 90 by, but did not rec
ognise him. The Old gentleman got into
the woods, became bcwiIdered, and for
nine days wandered about with nothing
bat cranberries to eat, and water of which
he drank often. After he had been gone
two or three days, and ii was known that
he was lost, The population turned out and
searched for him in every direction, but
could not find the least trace Of his track,
and 1t was only expected that some hunter
would one day find his bones.
1t rained for several days. lie had got
into the windfals where it is difficult for
any man 10 get out The second Sunday
from the time he left, the man made his
appearance on the East Fork of the Black
river about sixteen miles from where he
started. lie first entered deserted log
gers camp, where had been left some feur
and meat, but such was the 0 mans hon
csty, he would not touch it, He finally
came TO the house of Mr.. James Yates. by
whom he was kindly cared for. He APP
peared quite vigorous, even then, except
that his feet and legs were badly swollen

A PARODY.
4ET TIE LADIES BE HEARD.

LET TIE LADIES BE HEARD.
Tell me, yc winged winds
That round my pathway roar,
Do ye not know some spot
Where bachelors come no more
Some lone and pleasant dell
Where no moustache is seen
Where long cared dandies never come
Ourselves and fun bctween2
There come a murmur from the distant sea-
\ low, sad tone, which whispered mo stree =
Tell me, thou misty deep,
Whose billows round me play,
know'st thon some favored spot,
Some island far away,
Where weary girls may find
4 rest from soft dough faces,
And hear themselves called women
Nor linked to the graces?
Soon did the misty deep its answer give,
BY murmuring, Not while brandy smashes
live"
And thou, screnest moon,
What language dost thou utter
While gazing on the gentlcmaR,
Whose head is in the gutter?
Say, hast thou in thy round,
Gazed on some favored spot,
Where hats knew not the weight Of bricks
And where cigars are not?
Behind cloud the moon withdrew in woe,
And in italics answered, NO, no, no ''
Tell me, my secret soul
Oh! tell me, Hope and Faith,
Is there no resting place
From fops and bcaux and death?
IS there no happy spot,
Where womankind are blest-
Where man may never come,
And where the girls may rest?
Faith, Truth and IIopc-best boons to NOR
tails given,
Waved their bright wings and answered Eyes,
in Uearcu."

Thou hast learned to love another
Thou hast broken every vow
We are parted from each other,
And my heart is lonely now.

When coldly we have met;
For another's smile has won thee,
And thy voice | must forget.
Oh is it well to sever
This heart from thine forever?
Can | forget thee ?-never!
Farewell, farewell, forever!
We have met in scenes of pleasure
We have met in halls of pride

| have marked the tired lustre
OF thy bright and happy eye,
As I've seen thee gaze upon her,
Forgetting l was by.
Oh would I'd never met thee!

'Tis folly to regret thee
Farewell, farewell, foreverl
We have met, and we have parted;
But ! uttered scarce a word
Like guilty one | started,
When thy we'll known voice heard.
Thy looks were stern and altered,
And thy words were cold and high;
How my traitorous courage faltered,

Oh woman-pride Will leave her;
Life has fed when love deccives her
Farewell, farewell. forever.

Splitting Rocks a0ithOm Blasling.-
Some French inventors have taken out
patent in England for splitting rocks by the
generation of heat without causing an ex-
ploson. They used a substance compos-
ed of 100 parts of sulphur by weight, 100
of satpetre, so of sawdust, 80 of horse
manure, and 10 of common salt. The
saltpetre and common salt are dissolved in
hot water, to which parts of molasses are
added, and the whole ingredients stirred
until they are thoroughly incorporated to-
gelher in one mass, which is then dried
by a gentle heat in room or by exposure
to the sun, and i! is fit for use. 1t is
stamped in the holes bored for blasting
rock in the same manner as powder, and
is ignited by fuse. 1t does not cause an
explosion upward like gunpowder, but
generates great heat, which splits the
rock.

bout him and his Felix Joshua KILN ter
bushels of pigeons at one shot
Yes, it's orluI, aint it!'
'l!'s a lie as sure as shootin'. | don't
know what's got into brother Thrope.'
'What'll be done about itl 1t mustn't
go so-it'lI ruin the name of the church,
! Wed better fetch up next meetin' and
make him take it back, or church HIM
And so it would 90 on. OF course the
good deacon heard a whisper of it, which
gave him no little uneasiness. However,
he had been into several scrapes before.
and had come out clear, and he doubted
not he should meet with the same good
luck or this occasion. Until the meeting
day arrived the entire settlement was in all
uproar. Nothing was talked of but Dea-
con Thrope's ten bushels of pigeons. The
good brothers said it was too bad to have
the church dIsgraced by deacon who
would tell such unreasonable tales, while
the plous old sisters wiped their spectacles,
sighed and said, It's hard telling the power
which the evil one exerleth.'
At last the exciting day arrived. The
preacher stated that the church was ready
for the transaction of business, whereupon
brother Fingle arose and said:
Brother Deacon Thrope says him and
his Felix Joshua killed ten bushels of pig
cons at one shot The church don't be-
lieve it, and would love 10 hear what the
brother has to say for HIMSELF
With much soIemnity the Deason arose,
and after casting serious look over tie
congregation and elevatiug his eyes to the
raflers few times, spoke as follows:
My brethcring, there is a sad mistake
out didn't say we killed ten bushels of
pigeons at one shot, but
what did you say, them interrupted
one of the brothers, who was present when
the Deacon first told about the pigeons.
Didn't you say you and your Felix Joshua
both blazed awayF
Yes
Didn't you say you both elem over the
lence?'
Yes peradventurc.'
Didn't you say that Felix Joshua said,
Father, this beats all creation.''
Il did, brother
Didn't you say Felix Joshua fetched
the steers and wagon, and YOU picked up
ten bushels oi pigeons?'
There is the mistake, my brother, re-
piled the Deacon, again raising his eyes
toward the rafers. | didn't say we pick
ed up ten bushels Of pigeons. Brother
Fingle is mistaken; | said
Yes, know what you said' interrupt
ed several; you did say it, and we can
prove it easy enough! You can't come
that game over us, old boss fly
Order, brelherng,' said the minister;
lets hear brother Thrope's story, and then
You can make any remarks you wish
We'll, as r was sayn', resumed the
Deacon, Il djdu't say we picked up ten
bushels Of pigeons-brolher Fingle is mis-
said we picked up ten bushels of
corn that the pigeons had shattered of.
'Amenn went up from the congregation,
and a rush was made at Deacon Thrope,
to shake HIM by the hand. 1t is needless
