perversity, called, the rock-in-
| SPRING was spring running
out Of a cave-like' fissure in a
high limestone cliff, Here the
old. man sheltered himself on
that dreary Christmas evening,
until Bud brought his roam
colt to the top Of the cliff
above, and he and Ralph help,
ed the old nan up the cliff
and into The saddle. Ralph
wens back to bed, but Bud,
who was only too eager to put
in his best licks, walked by
the side of old John Pearson
the six miles over to Buckeye
Run, and at last, after eleven
o'clock, he deposited him in a
hollow sycamore by the road,
there to wait the coming of
the mail-wagon that would
carry him into Jackson County.
Good by said the basket
maker, as Bud mounted the
colt to return. 'Ef Pm wanted

Whether it was that the fact
that Pete Jones had got consid-
erable shuck up and demoral
lied his followers, or whether
1t was that the old mans flight
was suspected, the mob did not
turn out In very great force,
and the tarring was postponed
indefinitely, for by the time
they came together it became
knqwn somehow that the man
with a wooden leg had outrun
them all. But the escape OF
one devoted victim did not
mollity the feelings of the
people toward the next one.
BY the time Bad returned
his arm was very painful, and
the next day he went under
DR.. Small'S treatment to re-
duce the fracture. Whatever
suspicious Bu ! might have OF
Pete Jones, he was not afflicted
with Ralph's dread of the 81,
lent young doctor. And il
there was anything Small ad-
nlred, it was physical strength
and courage. Small wanted
Bud on his side, and least Of
all did he want HIM TO be
Ralph's champion. So that the
silent, cool, and skillful doctor
went to work to make an i'm
preston on Bud Means.

j Greeley's Opinion OF Democrats.

Every dollar Of the debt, every drop of
the blood. is righteously chargeable to the
Democratic party. Tribune, Judy 7, 1868.
No registry at ALL, with the ballot-box q
common spit-box, is exactly what suits the
sham Democracy Of our day.-July Is,
1858.
Every one who chooses to live by pugi-
lsm, or gambling, or harlotry, with nearly
every keeper of tipping house, is polti-
cally 8 Democrat. = Horace Greeley, Janu-
a,y7 1865.
TO smoke is Democratic virtue, to chew
is that virtue intensified; to drink rum is
that virtue in the superlative. Horace
Greeley. = q Inaaaa .a .n .
We thereupon asked our contemporary
to state frankly whether the pugilists, black
legs, thieves, burglars, keepers of dens Of
prostitution, etc., etc., We're not almost
unanimously Democrats. -Horace Greeley.
This would amount to six in bed, ex.
elusive of any other vermin, for every
Democratic couch in the State of New
York, including those at Sing Sing and
Auburn.--Horace Greeley. M
A purely selfish interest attaches the
lewd. rufiianly, criminal and dangerous
classes to the Democratic party Horace
Greeley. ..@
The essential articles to the Democratic
creed are, ''love rum and hate niggers."
The less one learns and knows the more
certain he is to vote the regular ticket,
from A to Izzard.-Horace Greeley.
All do know that there are several hum
dred thousand mulattoes in this country,
and we presume that no one has any Sc
| rious doubt that the fathers of at least nine
tenths of them are white Democrats, and
we are told that those Democrats, if they
| will have yellow children, might better
than otherwise treat the mothers respec-
lively. as wives, after the laudable pattern
| of that eminent Democrat, Vice-President
Richard M. ohnson.--Hordce Greeley.
Dec. 10, 1867.
! saw the other day suggestion that
T. would probably be the best Democratic
candidate to run against Gen. Grant for
President. Thought that about the most
absurd thing | ever heard or read. II
the Democratic party were called upon to
decide between Grant and myself, | know
that their regard for what they must call
principle, would induce nine-tenths OF
them to vote against me. Why? | am a
decided enemy of that party, even in its
most respectable aspects.-Horace Gree
