A SINGULAR PRoPHEoY. just about
the beginning of the present war, the fol-
lowing article appeared in the Courier deS
Etats Unis, published in New York 'Al-
though many of the predictions made by
Nostradamus Especially concerning the
deaths Of Henry " and Louis XYT have
been completely verified, they are generally
discredited in our times. But in the Proph-
ecies ct Vaccinations of that great man,
vol 2 edition of 1000, we find the follow
ing, which would seem to deserve some at
tention
about that time Q861) a great quarrel
and contest will arise in a country beyond
the seas-America. Many poor devils will
be hung, and many poor wretches will be
killed by punishment other than the cord.
Upon my faith you may believe me- The
war will not cease for four years, at which
none should be astonished or at all sur
prised, for there will be no want of hatred
and obstinacy in it. At the end Of the
time, prostrate and almost ruined, the peo-
pie will re-embrace each other in great love
and joy.

Dead.

Dead--dead-no matter, the skies are blue,
In their fathomless depths above,
And the glad Earth robes are bright IN hue,
And are worn with a regal grace, and true,
As they were Oh the day they were woven new
By the hand Of Infinite Love.
Hush hush l--there is music out in the street,
A popular martial strain
While the constant patter Of countless 1eet
Keep time to the stroke Of the drums quick beat,
And the echoing voices that mix and meet
Swell out in glad refrain.
Lost-lost Oh, why, when the earth is bright,
And soft is the Zephyrs breath,
Oh why, when the world is so full of light,
Should the wild heart, robed in a cloak OF night,
send up from frozen lips and white
desolatc cry OF death
Dead-dead How YEARLY drags the days.;
And wearily life runs on
The skies look cold, through a misty haze
That curdles the gold through the bright sum rays
And the dead leaves cover the banks and braes,
shrOud of summer gone.
; Last year-nay, nay do not complain;
There are graves in the heart of all;
So | do not murmur twere weak and vain
] accept in silence my share Of pain,
And the clouds with their fringes Of crimson stain
That over my young life fall.
There were beautiful days last year, mind,
When the maple trees turned red,
They flew away like the sportve wind,
But gathered the joys they left behind,
AS gathered the leaves, but to day find
That the joys, like the leaves, are dead
One year It passed, and I stand alone
Where l stood with another then
'Tis WE'LL had scorned to have held my own
From the bloody strife, though my soul had known
That his life would ebb ere the day was gone,
Amid thousands Of nameless men.
Nameess, yet nevera one less dear
Than the dearest of all the dead;
! weep-but, Father, my bitter tear
Falleth not down a single bier
mourn not for The joys Of the lost last year,
But the rivers of bright blood shed.

"What's the use of livingY asked Jack
Simmons, the other day. "We are fogged
for crying when we are babies; fogged be-
cause the master is cross when we are boys !;
obliged to toll, sick or well, or starve, when
We are men; to toll still harder when we are
husbands; and, after exhausting life and
strength in the service of other people, die
and leave our children to quarrel about the
possession of fathers watch, and our wives
to catch somebody else" .r

A Man without a Country.

In the atlantic Monthly for December is
a story as terrible in its episodes as it is
fearful in its warnings. Philip Nolan was,
in 1907, lieutenant in the army of the
West. He fell in with Burr, and was Sc
duced by that accomplished traitor into
company with his schemes-during Burr's
trial, Nolan was court martialed at Fort Ad-
ans, Mississippi, as much in fun as anything
else, by his brother officers When asked
why sentence should not be pronounced upon
him for treason, he angrily exclaimed =
damn the United States wish l may
never hear of the United States again p -
This was too much for the loyalty of the
court, composed in part of Revolutionary Of
fcers, and they, after consultation, without
being any longer in fun, decided that his
wish should be gratifed. The sentence, af-
terwards approved by President Adams or
dering him into the navy Instructions
were given that never in his presence again
should the United States be uttered; that
he should never be permitted to see his ma
tive land, and that his reasonable desire
should be satisfied to the very letter. For
more than half century Che died last sum-
mer in the Levant) this wretched man knew
nothing of the United States. From those
who surrounded him he could gain no in
telligence. From books and papers every
allusion was carefully cut out; the buttons
which he wore on his coat bore no insignia ;
he fought in the war of 1912 without know
ing wherefore; he was frequently tantalzed
by homeward voyages, which terminated as
soon as an outward bound vessel was met !;
he was ignorant of the growth, prosperity,
and increased Importance of the country he
had cursed ever craving some scrap of
knowledge, all things relating to its history
were carefully kept from him.
He became wretched- literally homeless,
until he found country beyond the grave
Miserable in this horrible isolation, drag
ging out an existence prolonged beyond the
usual life Of man, it was not until he lay on
his death-bed-that briefly he learned the
story of his country's greatness, but happily
heard nothing of the sad story of its present
woe, which sprang from the fulfllment and
the execution of anathemas similar to that
which fell from his lips, and which was
brought on by more successful conspirators
than the one who sowed the seeds of treach-
cry in his heart. He died repentant and
begged that his epitaph might be Gle
loved his country as no other man had loved
her; but no man had deserved less at her
hands"
Whether or not this story be true, it is,
at least, an allegOry of faithful and fearful
significance 1t shows what would be the
condition of many man, to-day, if the NUT
tered curse, or the disloyal wish were full
filled and gratifed as it ought to be, by and
for those who murmur or cherish it; who
hate and despise their country" or like far
too many, who, in their heart of hearts, say
amen to the awful imprecation against the
land which protects them.

THE EXECUTIONS IN IDAHo.-The Salt
Lake Kedette of February 9th has the fol-
lowing in reference to the late action of the
Vigilance Committee in Idaho Territory:
"The five men hung at Virginia City
were in a house, mounted on boxes, and
when the ropes were adjusted the boxes
were withdrawn, and they dangled to their
fate. Thirty of the Committee, as the Ex-
press left, started for Deer Lodge in pursuit
of four others, said to be there For a long
time the roads have been rendered unsafe in
consequence of the highwaymen ranging the
country, and the Committee was the only
resort of bullied, robbed, murdered COM
munity. Harry Plummer was arrested by
the Yigilantes and in his possession was
found paper giving a list of the whole band
and record of their proceedings. There
were some eighty-fve men on the list, thir-
teen having been hung or killed, and the
Committee is in pursuit of the remaining
seventy. Plummer when he was executed,
cried like child and begged for life. Jack
Gallagher, who is well known in this COM
munity, protested his innocence, and there
are many who believe him. Most if not all
the culprits were avowed Secessionists, and
in their chaste lingo, "bloody rebels" Boon
Helm, one of the worst of the clan, was
hilarious and boisterous just before the exc
cution, and as he swung off hurrahed for
JEFF. Davis in the most approved rebel style.
When the Committee attempted to arrest
Spanish Frank he fortified himself in a
cabin and killed one man, George Copely,
and wounded another The Committee
then brought small howitzer to bear on
the cabin, blew the top off, killed Frank,
and then after throwing him on the ruins,
set fire to the whole concern"

A DOG MAIL TRAIN.-The following ex-
tract from private letter from Pembina
shows how the mail is transported from that
point to Grow Wing: 2al
should have written to you four days ago,
but the mail had to lay over one trip on, ac-
count of the lameness of one of the carrier
dogs. You will probably think it strange
that the great United States mail should be
delayed several days for such cause, but it
was. The mail is carried from here to Crow
Wing, distance Of three hundred fifty miles,
by dog trains, and if one set of dogs get foot
sore when their turn comes the mail has to
lay over. Tomorrow they say the dogs will
be right and the mail will go forward Isaw
the first dog mail train leave here on last
mail day. 1t consisted Of three middling
sized dogs They looked more like wolves,
than dogs. They had regular harness, very
fancifully ornamented, and buckskin saddless
gorgeously worked with beads The DOGS are
driven in tandem style. They go from for
ty to fifty miles per day. the half breed dr-

A GAMBLER FoILED.-A few DAYS since
a sporting character lounged into one Of our
hotels and looked around for a victim AT
length he thought he saw one, so he took
out pack of cards and began to amuse the
bystanders in the bar room with a number
of ingenious tricks with them, which soon
drew crowd around him. 1.aloa
'Now,' said he, after giving them shuttle
and slapping the pack down upon the table,
'Pll bet any man ten dollars l can cut the
Jack of Hearts at the first attempt
Nobody seemed inclined to take him up,
however, till at last a weather-beaten New

'Darned if don't bet you But stop

Then taking up and inspecting it as if to
see that there was no deception in it, he re-
turned it to the table, and began to tumble
about in a side pocket, first taking out
jack-knife, then twist Of tobacco, etc., till
he produced roll of bank notes. from which
he took one of ten dollars and handed it to
bystander; the gambler did the same, and
taking out a pen-knife, and literally cutting
the pack in two through to the middle, turn
ed with an air of triumph to the company,
and demanded if he had not cut the Jack of
Hearts.
mo, I'll be darned if you have bawled
Jonathan, for here it is safe and sound3
At the same time he produced the card
from his pocket, whittier he had dexterously
conveyed it while pretending to examine the
pack to see if it was 'all right The com
pauy was convulsed with laughter, while the
poor child of chance, was fain to confess he

LAMENTABLE FACTs.--A silly mother
thinks she can make more than women out
of her daughters. She tolls in the kitchen
and they simper and drawl nonsense in the
parlor. She rises with the sun to get tn cir
breakfast, while they read the last novel in
bed. She tolls over the wash-tub, while
they drum on the piano. The earnings of
the farm are squandered to put clothes on
their backs, and to put them through fash

and become accomplished babies, utterly ig-
norant Of all that womanly knowledge so
creditable to the sex, unfit for anything but
to dress finely, talk nonsense; and marry
