And again, with double charge OF
powder and shot in his gun, Hans drew
for the ducks. He fired, and went end
over end with the recoil. When he got
up, not duck was in sight.
"I shoot 'em all to pieces dat time !"
he cried las he rubbed his lame shoulder.
Just then out foated the ducks again.
"Mein cot in himmels! Tey is ter
tuyvel's tooks!" groaned Hans. ."Three
times 1 shoot'em all over tead ,and dere
dey is alive!"
"I'll bet you two fifty they're dead 7"
cried Tommy Newbert, with smile.
"Himmel-can't see dem schwim!D

"Two fifty you've riddled them-and
two fifty they're dead % cried Tom.
"Hemmels! / bet you dat. But how
we broves it? You can't catch'em?
"Yes, come along with me, and I'll
catch them for you? ?" & r.la-.
There was some tall swearing in Dutch
when Hans paid over the $3.50, and
found out how he had been sold.
Ifyou want TO see a mad Dutchman,
just say "ducks" to Hans, and you'll be
accommodated.

Hans and the DecOys.

Everybody about Timbuctoo, up to
Yuba county knows Hans Himmeltau-
sen, or, as he is more usually called
"Dutch John" a good-hearted jovial
Teuton, once well Off but now reduced
to the position ofa Flume Guard.
Hans goes out hunting once in while.
He went after ducks not long since.
You can't get him togo after them again,
The reason is this. Some of the boys
played him trick. They got couple
of wooden decOy ducks and fastened
them with string in the edge of some
bushes in little pond near the town,
where they could be seen as the wind
waited them out the length ofthe string.
Hans was told that a couple of wild
ducks were in the pond, and hurrying
to his quarters he got his gun, loaded il
heavily, and crept down within range
of the ducks. ........ ...-.
Taking good aim he fired, and the
ducks were sent with rush back int
the bushes by the shot. ..-...-...
Hans though, of course, ,he had killed
them, but stopped to load, in case the.
were only wounded. Meantime thu
wind blowing through the bushes pret
ty sharp, blew them out on the water Il
the length of the string again.
"Der tyfull shooted dem took

And again he took deliberate ain

the ducks in out of sight again and Har

about his sins. Perceiving him one
day with very downcast look, his
master asked him the cause.

"But, Pete" said his master" ,"you are

"I know de reason, massa, "said Pete,

one duck and wound another, don't you
run after de wounded duck?'
"Yes, Pete; !" and the master wonder

Together they stood. upon the vine wreathed
porch,
And the sunshine played on her bright, brown
hair,
Those clustering curs, as they fell DER her brow,
Just stirred with the breath of the morning air.
And the lips were parted with tender smile,
And the eyes looked a love-light, deep and true
Into eyes that mirrored her own image there
In depths that reflected the heavens clear blue.
And he looked fondly down on the bright young
face,
Uplifted In Its trusting faith and love,
Will g softly he murmered the same old.time
VOWS
That should stand as firm as tho stars above
He said as he kissed the bright drops from the
eyes,
That wept, at parting, though tears were vain
dearest love, but for thee, 1 seek q far cline,
And wilt thou be true till we meet again?"
"Tnl we meet again!' twas when long years had
flown;
But his bride wore tresses of shining gold
Which shaded brow full as haugnty, as fair,
And no love-light lay in the eyes so cold.
They met, but If he was tickle she was proud,
And the pain or perfdy none might know;
For the vinc-wreathed porch told no treaoherous
tale,
OfSummer morning In the long ago.

A MONODY.
She swectly sleeps
Within the cold damp earth,
From whence all living had their birth,
To where all living shall return,
That vast majestic urn,
She lies at rest.
she sweetly sleeps
Much shall we miss her smile;
The care her kindness could beguile,
win vanish at her bid no more
But why should we deplore?
She lies at rest.
She sweetly sleeps
The voice OF song Is still;
The tones that wont TO make us thrill
with ecstacy, live In our heart,
And thence will never part
Though she is gone.
She sweetly sleeps
And we shall hear her pour
Her voice in earthly chant no more;
But in the sacred choir her song
She.ever shall prolong,
She wakes above!
