Tolley was still dancing on his toes,
and his face was fast becoming as pur-
| ple - that of the sheriff. '.
'.Time's up" shouted the deputy, and
the sheriff flung the pole from him with
1 vim that jerked the pendent Tolley
sprswiing upon the ground. He picked
himself up, and the sheriff united the
clothes line from his neck; then cram.
ming Toiiey's hat over his eyes; he thus
Addressed him: - ..z.,a' & - :.
"NcS', Eph. Toliey you've 'scapea
hanging by mere kibble Of the law; but
If you know what's good for you, you'll
leave this country mighty suddint," say
ing which he applied to Tolley, a postc-
riori, tremendous thwack Of his No. II
pegged boot, calculating with each Kick,
"durn you, scoot, scoot! I'll teach you
to commit arson and set mans house
afire! and eff ketch you in these diggins
again, I'll shoot you, you cussed scalli-
wag!" With one final kick and "scoot"
he turned Tolley loose, and invited the

We did; go, and instantly recognized
the bottle. Old Bob, regardless Of the

faithful discharge Of duty.
Two Different Examples.
President Lincoln was known a. a
Temperance man. The following Incl
dent is related Of him NJ happening at
the time the committee appointed to in
form him Of his nomination was per-
forming this duty at his own house In
Springfield, ILL.,:
after this ceremony had passed, Mr..
Lincoln remarked to the company that,
rs an appropriate conclusion to All inter-
view 20 important and interesting a.
that which had just transpired, he sup.
posed good manners would require that
he should treat the committee with
something to drink; and opening doo'
that led into room in the rear, he called
out: Mary Mary!' A girl responded
to the call. whom Mr.. Lincoln spoke .
few words to in an undertone; and, clos
ing the door, returned again to converse
with his guests. In u few minutes the
maiden entered, bearing large waiter
er containing several glass tumblers and
large pitcher in the midst, and placed
it upon the centre table. Mr.. Lincoln
, arose. and gravely addressing the com
. pany said: Gentlemen, we must pledg
our mutual healths in the most health,
beverage which our God has given t.
man; itis the only beverage have ever
, used or allowed in my family, and car
q not conscientiously depart from it OH the
present occasion. 1t is pure Adams ale
from the spring. and, taking Il tumbler
l he touched it to his lips and pledged
l them his highest respect in a cup of cold
8 water OF course, all his guests were
= constrained to admire his consistency
@ and to join in his example"
4 The other example is that Of Mr.. Win
0 ter Davis Of Maryland, lately deceased
d He too was very temperate man, but
G SO to speak, let at least part of his ligh,
y shine under bushcl:
e "He has been spoken Of as unsocial
Nothing could be more false. Sensitive
f ly refined, it was natural that he shoult
n avoid many Of the coarser figures tha
e move through politics; but in his owl
d house no man was more genial or NOR
hosptable. He never drank wine, ye
h his guests would rarely discover it, as h
y pressed OH them the ripest products Q
It the rarest vintages. He never smoked
If cigar, but the most delicately chosel
|, and fragrant havanas were always foun'
:, upon his dinner-tablc when the clotl
/ was removed"
