"a In 1856 young man by. the name of
Sharpe Jacob Sharpe afterwards OF

mitted to the bar, he fell victim to

Being q young man of brilliant parts
and Jealous in the work, the revival was
not over before the older members had
Jake well broken in. Scarcely meeting
passed at which Jake was mot called on
to pray in public; and right well he bore
his part. One evening, when the inte-
rest was at fever heat, and the tears and
groans of the mourning multitude could
be seen and heard on every. hand. jake
was asked to ''lead in prayer" He
complied, of course; and in the midst of
his petition, vociferated: ooh, Lord!
call back thy wandering sheep. Inspire
sinners with horror of sin. Enable
them, we pray Thee, to present their pc
titions ut the Throne of Grace before
they are forever barred by the statutes of
imitation!"
It was sometime afterward ere Jake
had heard the last of pleading the statute

Its brightest leaves to the tempest bow;
Dear mother, his thine emblcm--dust;
Dust is on thy brow

BY thee, ms erst in childhood, lie.
And sharc thy dreams.

And mourn the hopes of childhood doar,
With bitter tears?
Aye, must lingcr here,

Whose list frai leaf, untimcly sere,
Went down with thee

In still communication with tho past 1 turn,
And muse on thee, the only flower

Bows like a mourner on the dim hluc wave,

4 Ride for Lilo.

Twill tell you of an adventure I
had one Fall, when and Seth Heard
were hunting upon the south branch
of the Yellowstone--awny tip, where
the prairies gro 80 broad aud long
that they seem to be without end
twas up there, boys, that came the
nearest losing my scalp that ever did
in my life, and this was the way that
lit caure about.
y Yot see that t and Saith did a little
bit Of business besides trapping, up
in them parts that time. Before we
started, said seths says hea-seAbel, we
can get skins better than SO can catch
'eth, and tarnal sight easier, by buy
ing them of tho redskins we can get
'em, for song s so let US huy lot of
notions and 60. out on. the prairie and
sot up a shop
"Agreed," says [, s'only let us 60
the varmints"
Well, wo bought little of every
thing to tickle the Indians with, and
off We started and set up n shop on
the prairie. This was 'long in No.
vember, and fora time we did
smashing business among the heath
ems. We could buy skin worth FIVE
dollars for sting of beads and
jackenife, and others in proportion.
By-an-by the redskins began to get
ugly. We could see it in their sullen
looks !; and though they trsded nearly
as much as ever, we began to think
they meant mischief. SO Seth and
talked the matter over, and conclud-
ed unless we wanted to lose our furs
and horses, to say nothing of our
Naealps, we had better leave sometime
betwee1Y two days. { always had
great affection for my hair, and never
could think Of letting a red hoathan
have it. to hang in his belt ; and Seth,
he, also kinder thought that way. I'VE
packed up our duds, and prepared to
be, off just as soon as We were sure
that all the prowling red-sliins were
abed, for we warn't more than half
q mileafrom one of their towns. and
didn't care abont their knowing Just
when weawent. 4 rsg9.I &tg r-le,v
I'VE wanted to start as soon lis TS
could, for the moon rose about mid.
night, and then all wotfld be as light
as day, for there warn't q cloud to be
Saeen anywhere between prairie and
prairie, and the stars shone like so
many deer's eyes In the forest.
,Sl guess that it must have been
about 'leven when we mounted our
horses and moved slowly away from
our cauping.gronnd Our furs were
packed in o huge bundle and fastened
on behind US, and Seth, as he moved
away; looked like picture of an
Arab ona camel crossing the desert
III don'tthinklw We had gone q mile,
when we heard the. aWfuljest yell be-

RUIN FOR THE POOR MAN AND RICHES
FOR THE WEALTHY MoNOPoLisr.
Don Pratt. one of the sblest and de-
cidcdly the most honest OF the Western
Radicals, writes to the Cincinnati Com
mcrcial:
Since the publication of my Harvest
Home speech l have been cruelty read
out OF tho Republican party. One OF

printing in Bellcfontaine, has gone and
doRe It: He did it with tears, but duty
dictated, and with Roman 6rmnesa he
executed his task and me. l was not

thieves in our party who are sonnd on

to be done. So much Roman frmness

ought to be bottled.
l ventured to tell our friends in
Washington last winter that unless they
cheapetica manufactured articles and 80
enhanced the price Of agricultural pro-
ducts and lightened taxation, we could
pot hofc to carry Ohio and Indiana thus
fall. And now that we are threatened,
my friends get nervous and insinuatc
that l am anxious for defeat, like a

,,fhe fact is, we Republicans at tho

of wasting his time in discussing qncs-
