about II O'Clock, but he jumped up
with as much alacrity as his weak
ness would permit and staggered out.
The Judge accompanied him to the
front door, and when bidding him
"good night" said:
II hope, Senator, you will not
forget our little dinner party for to-
morrow night"
"Holy Moses" cried Nesmith,
family, II thought it was tonight.
A grim smile stole over the marble
face of the Judge, who said:
"Well, that's not SO bad mistake
as / made once, / went the night
after" ai eq
Nesmith says to this day he does
not know how he got to his hotel.
There were no hacks, no omnibuses,
no cars. He lost all memory at the
start, and all consciousness on the
corner of Four-and-a-Half street,
from which place some benevolent
policeman carried him to the Nation
al, under the impression that Oregon
was very drunk. fI

A DELICATE BRIDE.


Between Yreka and jacksonville,
Oregon, there was a wedding last
Winter, about the time of the deep
snow, when Mr.. Pelham, and other
citizens were corralled in that cold
country. The families of the res
pective parties of marriage were in
attendance, and the party was rather
after the old fashioned style, made
up of neighbors, their wives and ba-
bies, and everybody that happened
to be stopping anywhere within ac-
cessible distance. 1t was pleasant
affair; but like all similar assemble
ges, it dispersed, and the bride retir-
ed to her chamber, first having whis-
pered to the fond groom "don't
come up for half an hour" This be-
ing a first request, he obeyed, waited
the time anxiously, nor let the hand
of the ticking clock pass by second
limit, ere he had gone to her with
whom his life was joined, Rapping
gently at the bridal chamber door
and receiving no reply, he entered
unbbidden, and saw his wife lying on
the bed, arrayed in night gear of pur-
est white, presenting a picture OF
beauty, taste and loveliness beyond
comparison. One step far her, a clo-
ser look. and the blood rushes back
to his heart--she was dead! Loudly
calling for help, father, mother, sis
ter, bridesmaids, all the household
rushed to the room. The mother
discovered that her daughter still
breathed, but horrors upon horrorsI
there lay the empty vial from which
the fatal draught had been taken.
Messengers were dispatched for ply
sicians, the patient was rubbed and
sprinkled, and hopes were entertain
ed Of her revival, symptoms looking
favorable. At this juncture some
one picked piece Of folded paper
from table, on which was written,
in the delicate hand Of the fair young
bride:
Be not alarmed, dear husband.
Feeling that the occasion would be
too much for my nerves, / have taken
chloroform. YoUR OwS WIFE.

EFFIcACY OF PRAYER.

The Gilded Age tells how Uncle
Dan'l and the chin first saw a Missis-
sippi steamboat. They were sitting
in a row on log in a warm evening
telling about spooks, after the man
ner OF southwestern negroes, when
Uncle Dan'l said impressively,-
"Chil'n dars sumfn q comm. A
deep coughing sound troubled the
stiffness, way towark a wooded cape
that jutted into the stream amile dis
tant. All in an instant fierce eye
of fire shot out from behind the cape
and sent q long, brilliant pathway
quiverlng athwart the dusky water
The coughing grewlouder and louder,
the glaring eye grew larger and still
larger, glared wilder and still wilder.
A huge shape developed itself out of
the gloom, and from its tall duplicate
horns dense volumes Of smoke, starred
and spangled with sparks, poured
out and went tumbling away into
the further darkness. Nearer and
nearer the thing came, till its long
sides began to glow with spots of
light which mirrored themselves in
heriverand attended hemonster like
q tcrch-light procession. 'Child'n,
said Uncle Dan'l, it's de Almighty.
Git down on yo' knees As the noise
and the lights drew nearer Uncle
Dan1 prayed: go Lord, we been
mighty wicked, an we knows dat we
'zerve to go to de bad place, but good
Lord, deah Lord, we amt ready yit,

hab but one mo- chance, jes' one mo-
chance. Take de old niggah if you's
got to hab somebody. Good Lord,
good deah Lord, we don't know whah

screeched fairly in the faces of the
awe struck group, and Uncle DAM,
Selling many of the chiln's hands, as
his own Drawn ones would hold
secured off towards the woods.
Looking back they saw that the boat
was rounding a point out of sight.

Years sped by, and Geoffrey Pey
ton had grown to be an old man.
At his death, his large fortune
would descend by law to a distan
relative, a young man whose avarict
kept him free from all costly vices
and who, all vices being costly, en-
joyed, in consequence, an excellen
reputation.
But Mr.. Peyton had opinions o
his as to the disposition of his prop
erty.
Like many men Of his cast, he hat
an aversion to the division o
estates; and while not inclined
to disinherit his kinsman, O
whom he knew nothing but his rep
utation, which we have already sale
was good, there was one other whose
claims he felt it to be unjust to over
look.
He had brought up in his house
and in some sort adopted, Gertrude
Gray, the orphan daughter of an ole
friend, to whom he had been behold
en- in his days of struggle, anC
had died, leaving his only child desti
tute.
Mr.. Peyton's plans duly set fortl
in his will, was to settle his propert.
in equal proportions, on Gertrude
and his kinsman, provided they mar
RED each other in given period. .,
If either declined the match
the share of the one declinin;
was to go to the other; and if botl
declined, the whole was given il
trust for certain charities.
Three years after the occurrence
of which we are now to speak, Geo
Hayne had sought and obtained EN-
ployment Of Mr.. Peyton as his sec
retary.
The young man proved faithful ant
diligent, manifesting, moreover, quail
tiles Of intellect, which induced hi
employer to encourage the devotion
of his leisure time to course of lie
gal study.
George made so good use Of hi
opportunities, that at the end of tw
years he was prepared for admission
to the bar.
He had learned other things be
sides law in the meantime.
He had learned for instance, hoy
pretty Gertrude Gray was. and hoy
devotedly he loved her; though h
was too straightforward to tell he
so without first asking permission Q
Mr.. Peyton, with whom, at last, h
sought an interview for that purpose
Modestly, but unreservedly, tn
young man explained tie state of hi
feelings, and was about to expires
hope that he might be allowed t
speak to Gertrude herself on the sub
iect, when Mr.. Peyton cut it short.
"Is this the return you make TO
my confidence" he exclaimed-''yo-
whom | have trusted and taken s.
much interest in2"
81 am unconscious, sir, of hayint
abused your trust, or ill-requite,
your Kindness" replied the youth
with touch of the others pride il
his manner; "nor can 1 perceiv
aught that is reprehensible in tn
honest attachment 1 have this day de
clared for Gertrude Gray"
Would you do her real service?
81 would die for herr said Georg
earnestly.
"You could do her a greater ser
vice at less cost, returned tho other
dryly.
"Name it.
"Never see her-never speak Il

FOILED REVENGE.

A proud stern man was Geofrey
Peyton, and rich withal in wealth
and honors.
He had won distinction at the bal
and on the bench.
How deeply his proud heart had
suffered, those familiar only with his
cold and naughty bearing would have
been surprised to know.
Not very early in life he married
one whom he had long loved with an
ardent devotion, often characteristic
of men like him, and of which weaker
natures are incapable.
In his early struggle with poverty,
he had kept his love secret.
He would have suffered his heart
to break sooner than have had il
whispered he was seeking advance
ment through an alliance with rich
Ronald Mason's daughter.
But when he could hold up his
head with the highest in the land, he
no longer hesitated to speak in the
words he had been SO long waiting tc
utter, and which Alice Mason had
been as many years waiting to hear
A few years of unalloyed felicity
followed their marriage,
Though proud and stern as ever tc
the outside world, not the same man
was Geofrey Peyton at home, his
wife by his side and his bright-eyed
boy prattling on his knee.
There he forgot his pride except
that he felt in those he loved, forgot
fame and ambition and greatness,
and remembered only that be was
happy.
Then came blow which fell none
the lighter on the proud mans
head because he gave no sign OF
yielding.
Death crossed his threshold and
took from him his wife and then his
child.
The last of these bereavements was
peculiarly distressing.
The child had gone for q walk
with his nurse by the river side, and
in moment of inattention on the
part of the nurse, had strayed out OF
sight.
Soon after his hat was found float
ing on the water
