A SAD LITTLE STORY.

A very curious incident, illustra-
tive of the power which can be eX-
ercised over the animal creation by
kindness and careful training, occur
red but few days ago at Scottsville
Kentucky. The sister of Officer
Harry Mansfield, of this city, had
raised mockingbird which she
taught to go and come at her call,
and which, in return for all the kind.
ness bestowed upon it, exhibited a
peculiar fondness for her. Last
Monday week Miss Mansfield was ta-
ken ill, and to while away the tedium
of the sick room, she had her little
pet brought to her bedside, and day
and night it cheered her with its
sweet carols, bringing to mind many
happy thoughts of field and meadow,
sunshine and song. AS her illness
grew alarming, and day after day
brought no relief from suffering, the
warbling of the little songster rather
served to annoy than to please her,
and so turning YEARLY on her pillow,
she said to him, "Berdie, hush, you
worry me-" Strange to say, the
words seemed to be understood, for
Immediately the song was hushed,
and the bird retired within himself,
as it were, On the next day the la
dy died, leaving it would seem a
command of silence upon the bird,
which will never be broken, for al
though several days have elapsed
since, and every effort has been
made to induce him to sing, he refu-
ses to respond with song to any lips
but those of his once loved mistress.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

The citizens of Red Oak Junction,
Iowa, were shocked and appalled,
Saturday morning, by one of the
most terrible tragedies, says cor
respondent, it has ever been our lot
to witness A man by the name of
O. j. Cowdery came in from the east
on the western bound train at $3.50
A. NJ, got off, at the depot, and put
up at the Sheldon house, in this
city. He fingered here just long
enough to deposit his luggage in the
baggage room and register his
name. He then left the hotel and
proceeded up Coolbaugh street, t.
Fourth street, when he turned soutl
and crossed over to Railroad street
and stopped at the residence OF Mr.
Isold, on the south side of the road
Opening the door on the front side
he entered and walked into tn
sleeping apartment of Mrs. Nelli
Wells, his former wife, and DRAWN.
a revolver, shot her through tn
body, the ball entering just belo1
the right breast, penetrating to tn
back. He then turned, walked on
at the south door of the building in
to the back yard, and deliberatel
blew out his own brains.

IDENTIFY an understanding between
them. Davis proclaimed his posi-
ton, and Stephens takes it up as the
"New Departure" of the /" lost
cause Upon this theory there is
mischief in this thing. 1t demolish-
es the Democratic party in the
South. 1t revives the issues of the
war in a new shape. 1t explains the
Ku-Klux Klans and the Ku-Klux

Grant lately said to our correspon-
dent at Long Branch on the Treaty
of Washington. He feared another
war with the South, and hence his
great desire for peace with England.
But may not this pamphlet be Re-
publican counterfeit? We hope so:
but we fear that it is not. 1t has
all the ear-marks Of Southern man

sentiments and the purposes of a
large body of Southern men. If

TRIED TO HANG HIMsELF.-We
learn that a man, who has been la
boring under the happy hallucination
of "equal rights" in the kingdom to
come, amongst saints and sinners,
tried, few days since, in an adjoin-
ing county, to get up a first class
horror, by shutting off this mortal
coil, in way that was vain. He
fixed up very nice nooze with a
pair of bride reins, and was just in
the act of giving up the ghost, when
his wife appeared, found him strug-
Cling, and lifted him up so as to re-
lieve his neck from the pressure, till
her screams brought assistance,
when the body was cut down. He
remained unconscious tor a couple
of hours. Our informant said that
he was a strong Universalist, but on
coming too be remarked that he had
"been in HE'LL" and as that locality
is not supposed to be very pleas
ant summer resort, he proposes
awaiting his regular term before try

A SPANISH ATRocrTY.

A most touching instance of hero
ism, and one of the most atrocious
acts of cruelty, the truth of which is
vouched for by the most respectable
authority, occurred during the Col
umbian struggle for independence.
The Spanish General, Morillo,
the most thirsty and treacher-
Gus tool of the Spanish Kings, was
created Count of Carthagenia and
Marquis de la Peoria, for service
which rather entitled him to the
butcher or hangman. While seated
in his tent one day, he saw young
boy before him drowned in tears
The chief demanded of him for what
purpose he was there.
The child replied that he come to
beg the life of his father, then a
prisoner in Morillo's camp.
"What can you do to save your
father 7" asked the General.
II can do but little, but what |
can shall be DONE
Morillo seized the little fellows
ear, and said;
"Would you suffer your ear to be
taken off to procure your fathers
life E?
~ certainly would" was the un-
daunted reply.
A soldier was accordingly called,
and ordered to cut off the ear with a
single stroke of the knife.
The boy wept but did not resist
while the barbarous order was exc
cuted.
"Would you lose your other ear
rather than fail in your purposeg'
was the next question.
II have suffered much, but for
my father, | can suffer STILL" was
the answer of the boy.
The other ear was taken off by
piecemeal, without hinching on the
part of the noble boy.
"And now go" exclaimed Moril-
10, untouched by his sublime cour-
age "The father of such a son
must die"
In the presence of the agonized
and vainly suffering son, the patriot
father was executed.
Never did life picture exhibit
such truthful lights and shades in
national character, such deep,
treacherous villainy, and such lofty,
enthusiastic heroism.

I OWE NO MAN A DOLLAR.
BY CHAS. Il. SIuRAS.

Oh, do not envy, my own dear wife,
The wealth Of our next door neighbor,
But bid me still be stout of heart,
And cheertuly follow my labor,
You mnst know the last Of those little debts
That have been our lingering sorrow,
Is paid this night! So we'll both go forth
With happier hearts tomorrow.
Oh, the debtor is but a shamefaced dog,
With the creditors name on his collar;
While am king, and you are queen,
For we owe no man dollar
Our neighbor you saw in his coach to-day,
With his wife and his Haunting daughter
While we sat down to our coverless board
To crust and cup Of water
saw that the tear drop stood in your eye,
Though you tried your best to conceal it
knew that the contrast reached your heart
And you could not help but feel it;
But knowing now that our scanty fare
Has freed my neck from the collar,
You'll Join my laugh, and help me shout.
That we owe no man a dollar.
This neighbor whose show has dazzed your
eyes,
In fact is a wretched debtor;
pity him oft from my very heart,
And | wish that his LOT We're better,
Why, the man is the veriest slave alive,
For his dashing wife and daughter
Will live in style, though ruin should come
So he goes like lamb to the slaughter;
But he feels it the tighter every day
That terrible debtors collar
Oh, what would he give, could he say with
us,
That he owed no man a dollar.
You seem amazed, but III tell you more;
Within two hours | met him
Sneaking away with frightened air
As il fend had beset him.
Yet he fled from very worthy man,
Whom met with the greatest pleasure
Whom | called by name and forced to stop,
Though he said he was not at leisure
He held my last note, so | held him fast
Fill he freed my neck from the collar;
Then | shook his hand as | proudly said:
Nov, / owe no man a dollar
All, now you smile, fol you feel the force
OF the truth | have been repeating;
knew that downright honest heart
In that gentle breast was beating
To morrow III rise with giants strength.
To follow my daily labor
But ere we sleep let lis humbly pray
For our wretched next door neighbor;
Ana well pray TOR the time when all shall
be free
From the weight Of the debtors collar
When the poorest shall lift up his voice and
cry,
Now, ] owe no man dollar"

Energy Of Will.

1t is energy of will that is the soul
of the intellect; wherever il is, there
is life; where it is not, all is dullness
and despondency and desoation.-
People who have no experience of it
imagine that it is destructive to the
nerves, exhaustive of the animal spir.
its that it aggravatos the wear and
tear of life excessively. But this is an
idle notion, as idle as the habits and
humors of those who entertain it
We leave it to any man who knows
its real effect, to strike the balance
to compare the exhaustion OF an indo-
lent day with that OF an active one ;
to say in which of tho two cases the
subject is in better heart for work and
filter to undergo it.
Whatever VIC may be about, one
thing, We believe, is certain, that il
the spirits are spent by enegy they
are utterly wasted by idlencss; at
worst, energy can only end in relaxa-
tion--it is superior to it for while,
and possibly at last may fall into il ;
whereas, idlencss is actual relaxation
from first to last, and can be nothing
else. But even this view, favorable
ms il is, is yet not favorable enough to
be just. The fact is, that violence is
not necessary to energy any more
than tyranny is to kiugship; on the
contrary, it is the greatest energy that
does the most work.
Energy, literally from the Greek,
means inward workingness; the bloom
ing of the flower is energy, the increase
of fruit is energy, the growth of the
body is energy; yet, in all these there
is no violence the efficacy is not
destructive, but vital without ii the
whole frame must fall at once into cor.
ruption, with it, instead of corruption,
we have life. But this, it may be said,
is u refinement. 1t may be so, but il
is true in fact, nevertheless. The
gainsayer will find it difficult to pro.
duco anything from the subject Of surel
or moro essential truth.
