Cheating His Eyes.

A few wears ago there lived in the
town of son of Judge H,
whom we will call Joe, who had fire.
ouently imbibed more than he could
comfortably carry. There also resided
in the neighborhood a painter named
W, who kept saloon. Now
W, was great practical joker.
On one occasion, Joe came to
W-'s saloon, and rather early in
the morning got very much intoxi-
Gated, and finally fell asleep in his
chair.
Joe was very nearsighted and al
ways wore specs.
After he had slept some time,
W took off his specs. blackened
the glasses, put them back again,
lighted the lamps and then awoke Joe,
telling him it was twelve O'Clock at
night and he wanted to shut up. Joe
started around and remarked that he
had slept some time. W then
said:
"Joe, it is very dark, and if you will
bring it back, | will lend you Ian
term"
Thereupon W lit lantern,
gave it to Joe and helped him up stairs.
Joe went off toward home (up the
main business street, in the middle Of
the day, with his lantern, everybody
looking at him and wondering what
was the matter.

tie had expected this pltitul moan
would touch the widows heart, but moi
one relenting gleam softened her face.
''The Lord shall Judge between us, -
she said, in cold, icy tone, that froze
the murderer's heart. Look! the BIZ
bic is in my lap l will close the vol,
ume, and let my little son place his fin
ger at random upon line, and by that
you shall live or die.''
This was a strange proposal, made
in good faith. of mild and dark su-
perstition of olden times.
For moment the tory, pale as ashes,
was wrapped in deep thought-then in
a faint tone of voice he signifed his
consent.
Raising her eyes to Heaven. the
mother prayed to the Great Father TO
direct the finger of her son. She
closed the book-she handed it to the
boy, whose cheeks redeemed with loath-
ing as he gazed upon his fathers muir
derer. He took the Bible and opened
its holy pages at random, and placed
his fingers upon verse. There was q
silence. The Continental soldier, who
had sworn to ayenge his brother S
death, stood with diiated eyes and
parting lips. The eulprit, kneeling
upon the floor, with his face Ike dis
colored clay, felt his heart leap into
his throat.
Then in a clear, bold voice. the wild
ow read this line from the Old Testa-
ment. 1t was short, yet terrible;
"That man shall surely die"
Look! the brother springs forward
to plunge the knife into the murderer S
heart; but the tory, pinioned as he is,
clings to the Widows knees. He begs
that one more trial may be made by
the little girl, that child of FIVE years
old. with golden hair and laughing
eyes.
The widow consents. There is az
awful pause. With smile in her eye
and without knowing what she was do
ing, the little girl opened the Bible al
it lay on its mother knee: she turned
her face away and placed her finger or
line.
The awful silence grows deeper
The deep-drawn breath of the brother
and the broken gasp of the murderer
alone disturbed the stiffness. Th'
widow and dark haired boy are breath
less. The little girl, as she caught
feeling of awe from those around her
stood breathless, her face turned aside
and her tiny fingers resting on tn
lines of life or death.
AT length, gathering courage, III
widow bent her eyes upon the page
and read. 1t was from the New Tes
lament:
''Loye your enemies.
Oh! book of terrible majesty, ant
childlike love of sublimity, that crush
es the heart with rapture! it neve
shone more strongly than there in tha
lonely hut of Wissahicon, when it sav
the murderer's heart.
Now look how wonderful are tn
ways of Heaven. That very night a

He had fallen at Paoli, but not IL

That night there was prayer ant

An Incident at the Bar.

A good thing occurred at the recent
sitting of the Ross county Common
Pleas Court. One of the most elo-
quent members of the Bar was deeply
engaged in cause and in his speech
to the jury turned TO the client of his
opposing counsel and commented upon
his person and department in very
deprecating terms. While this sbe-
ing done the person referred to quiet
ly slipped out of his chair, which was
soon occupied by one of our most sub
stantial and respectable farmers down
at High Bank. This fact however,
was not noticed by the counsel who
was SO deeply absorbed in his very elo-
quent speech. Turning to the new
conner, supposing him to be his old ad-
versary, be poured out upon him in
violent language the vials of his wrath.

EB Curiously enough, says the
Pittsburg Commercial, just aAt the mo-
ment when our free traders are max
ing the most vigorous efforts to con-
vert the American people, their Eng
lish brethren, having gone through
the mill, are becoming rapidly con-
vinced through bitter experience,
of the fsllacy of the doctrine. We
instance the following, which we take
from letter by the latest steamer:
"The free traders have been hoping
these twenty years that America
would be converted to free trade
principles. England seems more
likely now to be influenced by Amer
ican example in the opposite direc-
ton. A few days ago, builder, who
was about to put up row of cot
tages at Windsor. received proposals
for furnishing all the doors, window
sashes and most of the wood work,
completely fitted, from the Cont
nent. The logic of free trade is ad-
mirable; but it will not pass with
grocers, butchers or bakers. 1t will
not pay rent"

GoD is everywhere. His words are
in the heart. He is on the battlefield,
and in our peaceful home. Praise His
holy name.
1t was in the wilds CT Wissahicon,
on the day of battle, as the noon-day
sun came through the thick clustered
leaves, that two men met in deadly
conflict near the reef which rose like 4
primeval world, at least thousand
feet above the dark waters of the Wis
sahicon.
The man with dark brown face, gray
eyes flashing with deadly light, and a
muscular form, clad in the blue frock
of the Revolution, is 4 continental,
named Warren.
The other, with long black hair,
dropping along his cadaverous face, is
clad in the half military costume of a
Tory refugee This is a murderer of
Paoli; named Delaney.
They met by accident, and how they
fought, not with sword and rifle, but
with long and deadly hunting knife
they struggled, twining and twisting
on the greensward.
At last the tory is downtown on
the turf, with the knee of the conti-
mental on his breast-the upraised knife
flashed death in his face.
"Quarter! l yeld!" gasped the tory,
as the knee was pressed on his breast.
"Spare me, yield"
"My brother" said the patriot in a
tone of deadly hate, "my brother cried
for quarter on the night of Paoli; even
as he clung to your knee you drove
that knife into his heart. l will give
you the quarter of Paoli."
And his hand was raised for the blow
and his teeth were clinched with dead
ly hate; he paused for moment and
then pinioned the tory's arms, and
with rapid stride dragged him to the
verge of the rock and held him quiv-
ering over the abyss.
Mercy gasped the tory, turning
ashy pale by turns at that awful guilt
yawning below. "Mercyi "Mercy! !
have wife and child at heme-spare
me-"
The continental with muscular
strength gathered for the effort, shook
the murderer once more over the abyss,
and then Kissed his bitter sneer in his
face.
"My brother had a wife and two
children. The morning after the night
at Paoli, that wife was widow; those
children orphans! Ask mercy from
them!"
The proposal made by the continen-
tai in mockery and bitter hate was
taken into serious interest by the ter
ror stricken tory. He begged to be
taken to the widow and her children;
and to have the privilege of begging
for his life. Another moment of Sc
rious thought-the patriotic soldier
consented. He bound the tory's arms
still tighter, placed him on his feet, and
led him through the woods. A quieI
cottage embossed among the trees
broke on their eyes. They entered the
cottage. There, beside the desolate
hearthstone, sat the widow and hei
children.
She sat there, matronly woman, o.
about % years, with face faded by
care; deep dark eye, and long blacl
hair, hanging in a disheyeled state
about her shoulders. On one side was
a dark haired boy of some six years
on the other side girl one year young
er, with light blue eyes. The Bible

open upon the mothers knee. Ant
the pale face tory flung himself upol
his knees, and confessed that he ha'
butchered her husband on the night o
Paoli, and begged his life at her hands

s. The pemocratic Commissioner

&F' The Democratic Commissioners
of Franklin county, Ohio, have been in
dicted for corruption in Office. Says
the Cincinnati Commercial:
Those who have hopes of honesty
and purity in civil administration under
Democratic rule, are hereby advised
not to read dispatches and letters from
Columbus touching the conduct of the
Commissioners of Franklin county. The
tendency of such reading would be to
weaken their faith and destroy their
hopes, for it doth appear that the said
Commissioners have meanly swindled
the people of that county in many
ways, till their corrupt practices have
brought such disrepute upon the De-
mocracy there, that prosecution has
become a measure Unnecessary party
self-defense.

TAKE HER AT HER WoRD-One of
the women reformers wants men to pay
their wives for the services they per-
form in the house just as he would
have to pay any other. Suppose she
secures this change in the present con-
stitution of society, who will be the
better for it? Perhaps not the wife,
who will then receive a servants wages
instead of helping to spend all her
husband earns. Some of the reform
ers have grand inspirations.
