quiet, peaceable man, beloved by all
who was never known to engage in a
quarrel. He went to the stranger, told
him of the feeling that had been aroused
and advised him to be more circumspect
in his conduct. Instead of taking the
advice in the spirit it was given, the
gombler, without word, drew his pis-
tol and shot Price through the heart,
causing instant death.
And now comes the strangest part of
this strange story. The moment he
fired his pistol and poor Price fell, the
cat jumped upon its masters shoulders,
and seized him blythe throat with its
teeth. In vain he struggled to throw ii
of; it clung to him with the tenacity of
a bulldog, and did not release its hold
until its master had raised his pistol and
blown its head to pieces.
The greatest excitement followed the
murderer. The murderer tried to es-
cape, but the crowd, summoned by the
report Of the pistol, collected too quickly
and he was captured In less time than
IT takes to narrate it, the excited crowd
had procured rope, placed it around
the neck of the miserable man, and
swung him to the end of wagon
tongue, which was elevated for that
purpose.

He has had masters famous in their line

he arises from his chaste couch, and
while yet in his night clothes, that

his friends entirely. Ny friend Jones,
Il warm admirer ofthe curley pated law
maker, had this invitation to stand up
and be punished until he found it some-
what fatiguing. So one day he intro
duced his friend Price. When invited

Price was also reluctant, but consented.

A Gentleman ordered suit of clothes

him that they must be made by the
next Tuesday, and must be made in the
finest style, and that unless the tailor
could have them ready to q certainty
beyond peradventure to the day, that
he must not undertake them; but Snip

Beecher's Shot at IL Squirrel.

Henry Ward Beccher, in star paper
on "Chipmonks" in the Christian
Union, tells this story of him5elf:--
The first that ever fired gun, it was
at "chippy," and l did not hit him.
My father it was who let me trot behind
him, seven or eight year old, while he
hunted the fields. How my nerves
screwed up when he took aim, and
what a crash in my over-sensitive ear
was the report! 1t was always painful,
and always an irresistible fascination.
And so one day returning home, out
ran bold chipmonk, and coursed along
;he wall with trailing tail, then mount
ing stone, tail cooked up, he said,
Tit me, hit me, hit me, he, he, he"
liere, Henry, do you want to shoot?'
Yes, sir-no-yes, do" "Get behind
me-lct the gun rest on my shoulder
now take ain-come, pull the trigger
or he'll be off,"
shut up one eye in manner that
carried the other with it. Iopened 1 both.
The tears came. The squirrel seemed
six or seven squirrels whirling round
n the air. l took aim, but it would not
stay aimed. Somehow / saw the sky,
the stone wall, great mullen stalk,
the squirrel, and twenty other things,
all in jig. Bang went the gun. "Chig-
ger-ree-ree" went the squirrel as he
dived down, laughing, into hole.
We'll, I've seen many minister do
the same thing with a sermon, and feel
as satisfied as | did. To be sure / had
not hit any thing, bat l had made a
splendid noise.
