win the first heat. They were pre-
pared for the financial loss and bore
that onward grief" heroically.
But it did interest them to observe
the ease with which the deceitful
fellow ran away from his competitors
on the second trial. He SKINNED
along by great easy strides, and after
winning with big margin to spare,
jumped into the air with the ease
and grace of a deer.
The countryman was Mr.. John W.
Cozad, of Indianola, Iowa, the
champion runner Of America. It Is
but recently that he met and defeat,
ed the best known runners in the
United States at a grand trial at long
Island. He was making as0ourns
in this vicinity, was in Bridgewater
on the day of the trot and+and-the
particulars need not be- repeated.
His winnings, at the least calcula-
ton, amounted to $3.50. Subsequently
he displayed more athlethic accom-
plishments by jumping. In this he
excels, but warned by the episode
of wooden trowsers and half-boiled
shirt, nobody would lay a cent that
he could not clear a ten-acre lot at a
single bound.

of bright hopes for ones self and
friends. have never been so suddenly
dashed as in this fall. In size, in
years, and in youthful appearance a
boy only, his power to command
men was surprisingly great. This
power, combined with fine intellect
and indomitable energy, and taste
altogether military, constituted in
him, as seemed to me, the best
natural talent in that department /
ever knew. And yet he was singu-
larly modest and deferential in social
intercourse. My acquaintance with
him began less than two years ago;
yet through the latter half of the
intervening period, it was as intense
as the disparity of our ages, and my
engrossing engagements, would per-
nit. To me he appeared to have no
indulgences or pastimes, and never
heard him utter profane or an
Incorporate word. What was con-
elusive Of his good heart, he never
forgot his parents. The honors he
labored for so laudably, and, in the
sad end, so CALAMITY gave his life, he
meant for them no less than for
himself.
In the hope that it may be no
intrusion upon the sacredness of your
sorrow, l have ventured to address
you this tribute to the memory of
my young friend and your brave and
early fallen son.
May God give you the consolation
which is beyond all earthly power.
Sincerely your friend in a common
affliction, A. LINCOLN.

How he .sRoped, Them.

The following from the Utica N.
W Observer, tells how former
Indianola, Iowa, boy "gobbled up"
some of the fast New Workers not
long since:
The other day splendid new race
course down at Bridgewater was
formally opened bya trotting match.
The event drew a crowd, and when
the crowd separated they had some
thing to think and talk about.
Something not down in the bill;
something unexpected-even start
ling; something financially painful
to many; something that caused
great inward grief.
Between one of the heats green
looking countryman proposeda little
running match-'.jes fer fun, you
know" To help the sport along he
didn't mind putting pten to twenty
dollars, if any one would add little
to it. The proposition was eagerly
Snapped Up. Among the crowd were
two or three fellows who prided
themselves on their wind and muscle.
One of them was a runner, Butter
field by name, from Richfield
Springs, who had never been beaten.
This young man, with three others,
expressed themselves eager for the
fray, and straightway stripped for
the race.
The countryman watched the
preparations with satisfaction. This
was an exceedingly rural specimen,
this was. His wooden breeches were
shrunken, while the set of the articles
was beautifully awry. He wore a
badly "boiled shirt, "cow-hide shoes,
blue wooden stockings and shocking
bad hat. He was collarless, and his
beard was long, rough and ragged.
A few minutes before the racers
were ready, our rural friend startled
the crowd by proposing, in loud and
strong nasal tones, to run with the
rest.
81 swow, I b'lieve I'll pnt my foot
in this little gallop myself"
The announcement that the Yankee
intended to run with Butterfeld and
the others, created the richest kind
of fun. The shouting and laughter
rather nettled Jonathan.
"Gol darn it, I can run, tell we.
/ amt no bettin' man, but I'll lay
you felIers dollar or so that / can
git by this Butterfeld and all the
rest on ye."
A dozen wallets were produced,
and dozen dollars were brandished
by the hackers of Butterfield. The
countryman restlessly ~ covered
dollar for dollar until the sum of $3.50
had passed from his pocket book
into the hands of several of the stake
holders. But this was not all. When
every seven" bet had been taken,
the countryman amused himself by
offering odds two to one that he
would win the race. He found few
takers. The throng suddenly became
suspicious. They felt "sold" in
advance Of any positive evidence to
that effect.
"Sold' they were. The country
man guessed he wouldn't ran in
"them trowsers," and SO he stepped
out of the wooden bags, disclosing a
sparkling pair Of silk flights"
Shoes and stockings came off next.
Beneath them were displayed a pair |
of spiked English racing shoes. The
boiled shirt and linen coat covered a
handsome jacket, and then, minus
the shocking bad hat our green friend
announced himself also eager for the
fray.
The match was a run Of 40 rods,
best two in three. 1t did not disap-
point the crowd to see the Yankee

the "COming WOman.o


mise gives the following account ofa
marriage ceremony in that city, uni
ting two Celestials, who desired to
be married in true American style.
The knot was effectually tied in the
Pigeon English" dialect:
Yesterday forenoon, a gallus-look-
inc Celestial, with a well-oiled tail
hanging down to his heels, followed
by a robust speciman of the Flowery
Kingdom, with her hair dressed q la
fan-tailed pigeon, came to Justice
Ellis court, to be married in "Meli-
can" style.
"You have got license, John?"
asked the Judge.
ayes, me hab got," answered
John; "me go one cote housee, one
law man, me heap catchee license"
swell, you likee me marry you
Mclean fashion?'
"Yes, likee all the same one Nell
can man."
"You got wife now, john"
John, astonished, "No, me no hab
got one wifee. Me likee catchee one
wifee; me likee catchee him." point
ing to the Acknowledged female stand
ing at his side.
"Are you married." asked the
Judge of the Celestial woman, "you
got one man?'
mo, me got no one man. Me one
man China country-he come die
one time"
"Well, all right. What's your
name, JOhn?"
"Me name Su-ung Fung."
"What? Some Funf"
"No, me name So-u-ung Fu-o-ng."
so, Sing Fung! Well, what's her
name-the woman's:"
"Who, him: Him nance Ho-ye
Go-ye."
"Hoy Coy! All right; you stand
up here. Take her by the hand.
John. No; stand this way. Not
that hand-this hand. Now, John,
what's your name?"
"Me nance Su-u-uDg Fung."
"Now, John-Sung Fund-yon
takee him woman-What you callee
him name, John?"
"Callee him Ho-ye Go-ye."
"You takee him, Hoy Coy, to be
your wife, and promise to keep her
heap good; heap plenty ricee give
her eatee; no kick her; be good man
all time, hey?"
"You bet me belly good man,
Judge. Me no kick him plentee."
"Now, you here, Hog Eye, or
whatever your name is, you takee
him to be your man; be one belly
good wifee all time; no run away;
cook him ricee all time-bet your
lifee?"
"Me one belly good woman; cookee
UNI ricee; no run away all time; stay
housee all time-bully wifee me-"
Judge. "All rightee. Me plentee
power; me big mandarin-two swor-
dee man; me tellee you all one piece
one piece man, one piecee wifee.
Plentee fix, all done. John, cash!
John, money-sabe?"
John paid up, but was determined
ESQ pleased to find himself married
Mclean fashion, to have bit of a
blowout. He sent out for wine and
glasses, and treated all hands. After
this was over the pair struck out for
Chinatown, remarking, "Hi yang
chin powe, sung tie pin chin towee
ling!" as they went, which shows
that they were highly delighted with
the American marriage ceremony.

LABOR.

There's never-dying chorus
Breaking on the human ear,
In the busy town before us,
Voices loud, and deep, and clear.
This is labors endless ditty;
This is tolls prophetic voice,
Sounding through the town and city,
Bidding human hearts rejoice.
sweeter than the poets singing
Is that anthem of the free;
Blither is the anvl's ringing
Than the song of bird or bee.
There's glory in the rattle
OF the wheels mid factory gloom;
Richer than eer snatched from battle
Are the trophies of the loom.
See the skillful mason raising
Gracefully yon towering pile
Round the forge and furnace blazing
Stand the noble men of toll.
They are heroes of the people,
Who the wealth of nations raise:
Every dome, and spire, and steeple
Rear their heads in labor's praise.
Glorious men Of truth and labor,
Shepherds Of the human fold,
That shall lay the brand and sabre
With the barbarous things Of old.
Priests and prophets of creation,
Bloodless heroes in the fight,
Toilcrs for the worlds salvation,
Messengers Of peace and light.
Speed the plough and speed the harrow,
Peace and plenty send abroad;
Better far the spade and harrow
Than the cannon or the sword.
Each invention, each improvement,
Renders weak expressions rod;
Every sign and every movement
Brings us nearer truth and God.

You are aware as well as myself, that it has been
extensively employed in the various diseases of the
bladder and kidneys, and the reputation it has ac-
CURED in my judgment, is warranted by the facts.

of Buchu-the powdered leaves tincture, fluid ex-
