in raising their colored friend to his feet

A Sad Shooting Affair.
Death of MIR. w. T. sydnor.
November 2, 1871.

An unfortunate affair occurred in this
place last Monday night, which has cast
a deep and pervading gloom over the
whole community. About half past ten
o'clock Of that night Mr.. W. T. Sydnor,
who was attending ball at the Withrow
Hall, stepped into the saloon Of the
Laclede Hotel, where some words of
trivial na.uiS r-e-oi t-A---- L;-- -.i
Josiah Jay mes, a blacksmith of this place,
when the latter drew a pistol and shot
Mr.. Syduor, the ball taking effect in the
right breast, resulting in instantaneous
death. Mr.. Trail, the bar. keeper, caught
him as he fell, remarking, "You are
shot!" "Yes," he gasped, and died
without another word.
Mr. SydnOr was a young man, about
twenty three or twenty fur years Of age,
and belonged to one of the first families
Of this community, being q son Of Col.
E. Sydnor. He was highly respected BY
-3every one, and was tho pride Of his
family, whose grief at his untimcly end
almost surpasses endurance.
Z Mr.. Juyucs, who when sober is an up.
right and kind hearted man, was slave
TO his appetite for whisky, and was drunk
when he fred the pistol. Alarmed at the
appalling crime be had committed, be
fed at once, and has not since been heard
of. He is large muscular man, thin
light hair, grey eyes. and is about forty
years Of age. His appearance would be
apt to attract attention any where among
strangers.
Atthe time the shooting occurred there
only two others in the saloon, Mr.. r. A.
Trail and Mr.. G. NJ. Thomasou.

she had never met him before, as she
had no acquaintances among men who
worked lake that for livingl
"Don't you know me, Bessie :" he said
falteringly, but with NO touch of shame.
She uttered a cry, and straightway fell
sobbing into the outspread arms of the
dirty engineer who wore a red flannel
shirt. shabby, coarse pants turned u at
the ankles, clod>hopping boots, and work
ed like that for a living!
It's Kitten ! it's Kitten! it's my dear
old darling Kit!en!"
And SO it was Kitten; though no won
der she did not recognize him till he
spoke. The slight, smooth faced youth
of twenty had changed into bearded
man of powerful build. The dainty
hands that ouce wore ladies sized kid
gloves were now large and strong enough
to drive an engine and guide a flying
train; and the Kitten of fast horses and
swell clubs was now content, even proud,
be said, to earn bis living by the sweat
of bis brow. 1t was an humble calling,
but "a mans a man for a. that"
To be true to nature almost every sto-
ry ends with a marriage, and so does
this; for in eighteen months after her
fathers decease Bessie, the heiress, but
true-hearted little girl of the period, be-
came the wife of the stalwart engineer,
the once meek, purring little Kitten.

Saved Through his Masonry.

The Portland Maine Argus tells the
following interesting md thrilling story.
which at once illustrates with almost
startling effect the danger Of mob law and
the benefits of Masonry:
A young Maine man, who is engaged
in the commercial travelling" business
for Chicago house, wss recently travel
ing out 10 the far West, when lie was
taken possession Of on the train by two
men who simply informed him that they
were officers and wanted him. He ex.
postuiated, explained, demanded explain
ations, &C., but all in vain. No one on
the train knew him and there were those
who did know the officers. AL he could
get out of them was that be was the man
they wanted. In this way be was taken
some 80 miles into the interior. Upon
arrival he bad so longer to remain in ig-
norancs Of his supposed offence, the
whole village being out to welcome him
with such cries as Heres the id horse
thief caught at last"
/" Let's string him upi"
The officers made some show of resist-
ance, but the excited mob took possession
of their victim and marched him into the
town near tue centre of which moose
was already strung over the limb Of
tree. Our friend thought it was all up
with him sure. Expostulation was re-
ceived with derision. Fveryb body recog
nized him as a notorious horse thief,
whose depredations 10 the vicinity had
been long continued and extensive. A
horse thief in that section is looked upon
as something worse than an average MUIR
derer. There was Lot plying eye in
the crowd, and the universal howl was
lynch him. He tried to pray, but the
commercial travelling business had ruined
him for praying! While waiting under
the moose happy thought struck him!
His Masonry He was Royal Arch
Mason.
In all that crowd there must be Ma
sons. He gave the Grand Hailing Sig
nal Of Distress! We are not AT liberty
TO explain how it was done for several
reasons, the chief of which is, we don't
know! But he gave it, and in an instant
one of the foremost citizens of the town
sprang to his side. and he gave SONS
more Masonic signals, and the prisoner
was quickly surrounded by twenty or
thirty determined men, who held the
crowd at bay with drawn pistols. Our
friend explained to the leading man who
he was. They organized committee of
investigation; telegraphed to Chicago
and verified all his statements; and the
brutal mob shrunk away heartily ssham-
ed. Our friend was made as comfortable
as possible by his Masonic friends, but be
says he never experienced such intense
anxiety as he did when he stood under
the moose.
The above is strictly true 10 all essen
tial points. We have the names of
parties and places. The young man has
one or two brothers living in this city.
The man who rescued him proved to be
an old friend of his fathers.

A PUBLIC TEACHER-WhetheF Of the
pulpit, the lecture room, or the press
has no right to make a misstatement.
He is bound not only TO say what he
honestly believes to be true, but he is
bound also to make thorough research in
order that what he believes to be true
shall not be idle or vague impressions,
but sound deduction from ascertained
facts. A man is often almost as culpable
m giving vogue to an assertion which be
has not investigated. as in deliberately
invented lie. That is delicious touch
in Sheridau's "School for Scandal"
which asserts that when the drawer of a
scandal cannot be discovered, it would
only be good law to demand reparation
of the indorser. Our public lecturers.
especially those who discuss social qnes-
tons, have apparently abandoned every
pretension to honesty. To be racy,
smart, piquant, severe; to set on their
hearers to laughter; to say things that
will titillate the fancy, f1atter the pride, or
give sort of intellectual intoxcation to

full things of women. 10 order to amuse
crowd of men; to make husbands aud
fathers objects of racy ridicule in the eyes
of ladies'; to make our noighbors appear
absurd; to be satirical; and eloquently
critical; to laugh at this mans picture.
or that mans book-to go about, in brief.
as literary mountebanks, and, like the
court.foos of old, amuse the world by
satire and jest-this thing is their am
bition. They encourage the vice of ex-
trsvagant overstatement, which is preya-
lent enough without them. They con-
tribute largely to that spirit of inaceuracy
which seems grounded in the very found
atoms of society. DR.. Johnson was wont
to assert with emphasis that the habit of
truth must be inculcated in children by
the most rigid enforcement; they should
not be allowed to digress in the smallest
details, even with innocent intent, but if
trained always to note carefully and re-
port accurately, they would thus acquire
truth telling as habit as well as prin-
ciple. We rather reverse all that now.
Absolute lying is still a cardinal sin; bat
no matter what false colorlng sry be
given to statement, if by so doing there
is little fun in the listener, or a little
fancy in The inventor.

STORY NOT TRANSLATED
FROM THE GERMAN.
BY L. d. b.

BY L. d. p.
Once upon a time, as stories begin,
Somew here in tins world of so row an sin,
bachelor lived in a pleasant cot
With gable roof. IT was quiet spot,
And the wat sr that ran at the foot Of the hill
And turned the wheel of the little mill,
II you listened intently, seemed to say,
q he works from dawn till the close of day,
Fatigued with labsr, he sat there one night,
With his eyes half closed, to shut out the light,
When he CHANGED to look on his old jean blouse
And his slipperless feet aiu.t the side the house
And lie sigh d, All, m e If next Christmas day
My sister Sally, or my cousin May,
Would pres ent me with slippers and dressing-gown
I'd be the happiest man in Allen town"
bis cousin May, who was sitting so near
That the sigh aud the wish abe chanced to hear,
Said to herself, as she knitted away,
's Next Saturday week is Christmas day.
can I work the slippers make the gown,
But IL buy tho cloth when go to town
And cousin Sally will certainly make
The dressing gown, for her brothers sake"
So the cloth was bought, and presented, too.
It was pretty cashmere, with golden hue
But his sister Sally, who was housekeeper there,
And fretted enough to make most men swear,
Remarked to herself, " While live in this house,
You'll get nothing better than that old jean blouse.
So she took the cloth and put it away
On the closet floor where fer monthsit lay.
Concluding the garment would never be made
While she at the head of his household stayed,
He waited patient her moving to town,
Nor once referred 20 the dressing-gown.
He thought Of the slippers received his birthday
And he knew he could depend spOn cousin May.
But though after she eft he ched the house eer,
His pretty cassmeres he never saw more.
At FIRST it rather puzzled his brain
To think all his searching had been in vain
But very soon alter he d convincing proof
1t had been gobbled up, and carried OF,
And rumor whispers-believe it who can
She made it, and gave it to another man.
So the poor bachelor and his cousin May
Mourn for the lost gown 'tiu the present day.
The lesson this teaches, you all plainly see,
Nor need the least word of comment from me;
And if any maiden. for some reason or other
A gown would present 10 her. cousin or brother,
She will learn from this tale to avoid the mistake
or leaving il for some other woman to make
But present it, and stay, # she possibly can,
Till it IS made and safely enrolling the man.
