Decroix walked swiftly forward, like a

free, easy and careless manner changed.
His restless eyes grew more restless and
he no longer exchanged word with his

THE HUNTERS BRIDE.
BY DIR. J. H. ROBTEsoN.


A few wears ago there stood small log
cabin on the bank Of the Memahaw river,
tributary Of the Missouri. 1t was the
residence of Delcroix, a noted backwoods-
man of the great west Those of his
craft who knew him. were not fully ac-
quainted with his history before he ap-
peared among them. A white hunter ac-
cidentally discovered cabin upon a riv-
er. most romantcally situated, TWAS the
rude dwelling of Decroix
The hunter--whose name was Gravler
- nd who had wandered far from his
course--approached the unknown cabin,
curious to learn who dwelt there. and
doubtful as to wnat kind of a reception he
should meet with but it was near dark,
he was fired and hungry, ana backwoods-
men do not generally stand much upon
ceremony.
In answer to the loud knock of Gravicr
tall and athletic man of about 10 years
of age. made his appearance. 1t was
Delcroix, the back Hoodsman, whose tout
enSOmbe was anything but prepossessing.
His head was covered by coon skin cap,
which had seen much hard service in ev-
cry contingency Of changing climate.
The halr which hung from beneath this
venerable head fixture. was long and
slightly spriuklod with gray. The face
was disfurged by several scars. giving ev-
idence of wounds which must have been
deep and dangerous. ..
These marks. as the readers will per
ceive, did not add to the personal beauty
Of Delcroix, but gave to bis featu es 8
stern and threatening aspect. The fore
head was lofty, and bore no more signs ot
care than might he expected, for man o.
his years, The eyes were the most re
markahle features of his face; thea were
small. deep set piercing, ever active, and
nothing appeared to escape their survcil
lance.
Delcrox's external mar. is easily de

TO DIE AND BE FORGOT.

That they who stray in glory's path,
Tread ever upon thorns 49,.
So let it bel would brave the worst,
Nor care how hard my lot,
Rather than leave no name behind,
To die and be forgot.
They tell me that the voice of praise
Comes oft, alas ? to late,
That ere the poet hears its strain,
He passes through deaths gate
So let it be--if but know

The world shall chant my tuneful lays
In praises loud and deep.
Oh. would that possessed the power.
To climb some mountain hight.

Which Tod to me has given,
That mortal eyes might see and read,
While angels gaze from heaven.

The Notes ofthis Third Series are precisely
similar in form and privileges to the seven-Thir-

r
and his home was in Michigan. He had
not money enough to pay his fine and costs
and rather than go back TO jail he turned out
his valise and contents as security, saying he
would write home for more money. He was
released and sometime afterwards he showed
the marshal a draft for $50, which he said he
had just received from his mother, and he
would get it cashed at the bank and redeem
his valise. Nothing has been heard from him
since.
A few days ago the m arshal sold the valise
and contents to pay the fine and costs. But
there was in the valise, Il fine gilt edged, tur-
key bound tuck bible, on the fly leaf of which
was his name, written by his mother, his place
of residence, and under it the following, in
the same neat hand:
From your mother. Given with the hope and
prayer that amid the turmoil and strife of lte,y
will never pass a week without finding little time

used to know much about the bible, when little
boy. Try to improve that knowledge, which can
never do you any harm.
From Your Affectionate Mother.
We omit names, as we would not wound
the feelings of this pi aus, affectionate mother.
But we allude to the case simply as warn
ing to young men to heed the advice of their
mothers, and shun all bad company. The
bible to which we allude, evidently, had new
er been opened, as the gliding of the leaves
was not broken except in one or two places,
and the book seemed entirely new and I'M
soiled by use. Had the young man followed
the admonitien of his mother he might now
be..a respectable man. Instead of this he is
probably vagabond. If this meets his eye
we trust that he will turn from his errors and
follow the advice of his dear mother,-and
that oil young men who read this will remem-
Der that the advice of their mothers can al
ways be safely taken and followed-while
those who neglect it will generally come to
some bad end.

HE national prayer meeting was poorly OBJ
served IN this region. a large number of the
intensely ''loyaP' people of this city attended
pic nics fishing parties &C., &c, at the va
rious places of resort in this vicinity.-and
those who did not, see med to care but little
for the day. Had any one of the clergymen
of this city declined to participate in rehg
lous services on tina day, these intensely
''loyaF pic nickers (who showed their con-
tempt for the day by going on carousing
party and setting a bad example before the
people) would have been the first to raise the
cry Of disloyalty against the clergyman and
try to drive him out of town. Their loyal
ty"and regard for religion was poorly exhib-
tied on the day set apart by the president
for humbling ourselves, as a nation, before
God, in mourning for the loss of beloved and
martyred chief magistrate.
The three presbyterian churches and the
baptist church held united religious services
in the baptist chapel. Rev's Wilson. Cald-
well and Gray were the speakers-Mr. Wal
lace being absent from the city.
Messrs. Wilson and Caldwell were the
principal speakers, and the general tone of
their remarks was to discourage the violence
of party feeling which had produced the
most fearful war and the most horrible assas-
sinaton on record and they urged return
to moderation, humility, peace and careful
observance of law and order. 1t is hopeful
sign for our country to see the pulpit incul-
eating such doctrines. For the want OF such
teachings in the pulpit religion has declined
and war and bloodshed has prevailed in our
land. Some preachers (The Bloodhounds Of
Zion) still call for vengeance and wrath
but it is hopeful sign to see evidences of re.
turning reason in the pulpit. Those clergy
men who have steadily withstood the fauati-
cal crusade of madness will soon have the
satisfaction of seeing their course approved by
the vast majority of the American people.

FILL IT Urls there any reason why the
Rescue Engine Co. and Hope Hose Co.
should not be the largest and most effective
fire company in Rock Island? We can see
none. The machine is the largest and most
powerful one, and it ought to have the larg-
est and most effective company. Since the
city council placed our German citizens in
charge of the Western machines that compa-
ny has been steadily increasing in numbers,
improving in discipline, and by it's excellent
financial management has accumulated q
handsome fund Surely the citizens Of Rock
Island, who speak the English language, can
do as much. if they try. Is there not skill,
pride. and ambition enough among our native
born and Irish adopted citizens to fill up the
Rescue Co. and manage 1t successfully? 1t
seems to US that, by harmonious, and skill
fully directed effort this could be accom-.
plished. 1t certainly is not creditable to our
native born and american citizens (who
outnumber the Germans probably three or
four to One) that they cannot at least raise
company equal to the Germans. Will they
try?
