Colonel F--,a very irritable and
impatient man, had occasion once, while
passing on horseback through small
town in the west, to patronize Dutch
blacksmith.
Are you the smith g. he asked of q
stout, black bearded, smoking, dirty old
man, who came out of the shop to look
at the horses defective shoes.
Eyes, l be der smidt," replied the
Meinheer, steadying his long pipe, with
his left hand, while he lifted one of the
horses feet with bis right. "You wish
to have de new shoes 2"
mo, sir" said the colonel, in his
quick way. "Set the shoes of his fore
feet, that's ALL"
"Set de shoes on his fore feet-yah,
/ oonderstand. viii have him in Won
hour shoeu.
The Colonel went away, and return
ing at the appointed time, found the
Dutch smith still at work en- his horse.
He was very wroth when he saw the
state of affairs, bnt he went away again
with the promise that in won half hour %
longer the shoes would be set.
After dinner, in no very mild humor
be made his appearance again at the
shop, and asked what was to pay.
-Four shiIlings," was the reply.
''Four shillings! IT'S an imposition p
exclaimed the fiery colonel; Il never
paid over shilling for setting shoe in
my life"
Very vel, nodded Meinheer, "VOr

shoes--dat ish four shillings-nichts 2"

From Harry Hazel's Yankee Blade
MRS. MERRILLS DEFENCE.
A True Tale Orsavage Life.

Fer more than two hundred years tn e
frontier settlements upon This continent
were scenes of perpetual alarm and out
break. The infamable nature of the
savage would not allow him to relinqush
in quiet that which had been the birth
right and undisputed heritage of his faith
er from the date of their earliest ira
dilion, and the result was either open
and deadly way, or a series of willy
stralagems, which KEEP; the inhabitants
upon the alert, day and night. The
midnight assault, burning cabins and
death-shrieks of murdered women oc-
currences.
Especially was this the case when the
war between the revolted colonies and
mother country began to assume its more
decided aspect. and the ministers of the
crown, regardless of all humane UUpeid-
erations, exerted ;heir utmost endeavors
TO win the savages along the frontier tc
a CO. operation IN their work of subjuga.
tion. They were successful in the un-
dertaking, and the halchet was taken UP
by many of the tribes, who were sill in-
wardly burning with real or fanciec
grievances, which they hoped to be able
to redress. In conjunction with theil
more civilized but really less human al
hes, the tories, they broke upon the de-
fenceless frontiers, scattering death anC
) devastation wherever their savage fury
could find victim. The massacre a
Wyoming. may be considered fair ex
ample of their warfare, though it wa
not always that their success was so un
qualified as al tha, illfated settlement.
OF course many traits of characte
were brought to light amid scenes whicl
might otherwise have lain dormant, ant
many an act of personal prowess an,
E daring excited, which could in no wa
have been looked for. Even woman. a

How Near we Are to Death.-A
writer in'lhe Independent thus diseOurses
on our nearness to death: When we
walk near powerful machinery we know
that one single mis-step and those mighty
engines would tear as TO ribbons with
their flying weels, or grind US TO powder
in their ponderOus jaws. So, when we
are Numbering across the land in the
rail-car, and there is nothing but half an
inch Of iron fange to hold as upon the
track. So when we are at sea in a ship,
and there is nothing but the thickness Of
a plank between US and eternity. We
imagine then that we see how close we
are to the edge of the precipice. But we
do not see it. Whether on the sea or on
the land. the partition which divides US
from eternity is something thinner than
an oak plank or half an inch of iron fange.
The machinery of life and death is with
in Us. The tissues that hold these beat
ing powers in their place are often not
thicker than sheet of paper, and if
that thin partition were pierced or rup-
tured, it would be just he same with US
as if cannon ball had struck u.s. Death
IS inseparably bound up with life in the
very structures of our codes. Struggle
as he will to widen the space, no man.
can at any time go further from death.
than the thickness of sheet Of paper.

Where did you get it?"
"BOnght it, my son." said the father.

looked at the baby, and after short

The Tartar who Caught a Tartar.
BY JOHN @. SAVE.

BY JOHN @. SAKE.
There's trouble in Hungary now, alasl
There's trouble on every hand
For that terrible maa,
The Tartar Kahn,
Is rsTsging over the land;
he is riding forth with his ugly men,
To rob and ravish and slay;
For deeds like those,
You may well suppose,
Are quite in the Tartar way.
And now be comes, that terrible chief,
To mansion grand and old,
And he peers about,
Within and without
And what do his eyes behold
A thousand in fold and field,
And sheep all over the plain,
And noblessteed
OF rarest breeds
And beautiful crops Of grain;
But finer still is the boarded wealth
That his ravishea eyes behold,
In silver plate
0frsrest weight
And jewels Of pearl and gold.
nObleman owns this fine estate
And, when the robber be sees,
'Tis not very queer
He quakes with fear,
And trembles bit in the knees.
BE quakes in fear of his precious life,
And, scarce sur pre- ssing grOan,
"GOOd Tartar" says be
Whatever you see,
De pleased to reckon your oEn."
The Kahn looked 30 nd in leisursly way,
As one who is puzzled to choose,
When, cooking his ear,
BE chanoed 10 bear
The crush Of feminine shoes.
The Tartar smiled a vilIainous smile,
When like lily in bloom
A lady fair,
With golden hair,
Came gliding Into the room.
The robber started with amorous ere,
Was ever so winning face
And long he ga 1ed,
AI one amazed
To see such beauty and grace.
A moment more and the lswess man
had seized his struggling prey,
Without remorse,
And, taking horse,
He bore the lady away.
''NOW, Heaven be pfaised," {" the noblemR eai
"FOr many mercy to me
bow me still
Unto his will,
God pity the "Tartar. said lie.
