"Certainly; but prefer death " the
ruin of my best friends. If we die here
and we shall without doubt-the
money will be saved"
The oaths and threats and curses of
the man were fearful, but Margaret felt
no fear. Something above and beyond
herself sustained her, and she was happy
in the consciousness that her life would
purchase the old home for her kind bene-
factor.
The close, torpid air weighed upon her
like lead. Already had the wretch, who
was her companion, sunk stupe6ed to the
floor. All her past life came up before
her-she remembered things long for
gotten-she saw faces dead and buried
she heard voices mute beneath the grave
clods. and then life and sense faded, and
she knew no more.
Judge Wallace found his sister better,
but the storm coming on, it WAS deemed
better to remain all night, and early next
morning set out for home, accompanied
by his wife.
Arriving in sight of the house, he was
surprised to see the shutters still closed
and the chimney giving out no smoke OF
welcome. At the gate young man was
tying horse. and the Judge exclaimed to
his wife: =,
"Bless my soul, Annie that's Alger-
non. There's no mistaking him. He's
home month earlier than we expected
him. But I greatly fear there's some-
thing amiss with Magl She's an early
riser, and the shutters are yet closed"
He whipped up his horse, and aoon
had his long absent son by the hand.
The first warm greeting over, the judge
raped at the fastened door, but e!iciting
no response, his alarm increased, >; and
after shouting for Margaret at the top OF
his voice and receiving no reply, with
Algernen's help he burst open the door
and entered the kitchen. -

" Cheese 1t. -

The greatest ammunition that we
have heard of lately was used by the
celebrated Com. Coe of the Monte
vi,lian navy, who, in an engagement
with Admiral Brown, of the Buenos
Ayres service, fired every shot from
his locker.
What shall we do, sir 3" asked
the first lieutenant we've not a
single shot aboard-round, grape, can
lister, and double headed all gone"
Powder gone, ell z" asked Coe.
No, sir got lots of that"

Are there any on board
About two dozen-took 'em from
u drover.n
Will they go into the 18-pound
ers ?n
BY thunder, Commodore. that's
the idea; I'll try EN-" cried the first
luff.
And in few minutes the fire of the
old Santa Maria Goes ship which
had ceased entirely, was opened, and
Admiral Brown found more shot fly-
ing over his head. Directly one of
them struck his mainmast, and as it
did so it scattered in every direction.
What the devil is that the enc
my are firing?" asked Brown but
nobody could tell.
Directly another one came in through
"a port aud killed two men who stood
near him; then, striking the bulwarks,
bursted into flinders.
"By Jove, this is too much /; this
is some new Paixham or other-I
don't like 'em at all I" cried Brown.
And then, as four or five more of
them came slap through his sails, he
gave the orders to fill away and actu-
ally backed out of the fight, receiving
a parting broadside of Dutch cheese.
This is an actUal fact. Our informant
was the first lieutenant of Goes ship.

He Got an Answer.

While General George A. Sheridan
of Louisiana, says the Cleveland
Leader, was speaking Monday night
Oh the West Side, he was interrupted
by an adopted citizen with this ques-
ton: "What is the matter wild the
Democratic party any way /" quick
as lightning Sheridan turned from the
line of argument that he was pursu-
ing aud gave an answer to his inter
rupter which all who heard it will
remember as long as they live. 1t
was as follows:
"What is the matter with the Dem
ocratic party | will tell you, my
friend. The Democratic party was
born under planets that were IN
opposition. 1t lives in the objective
case. Like Il mule, sit has no pride
of ancestry; no hope of posterity !"
1t never originates any thing. 1t
shines by borrowed light. 1t has
never been joined in honest wedlock
to principle, but lived for years in
open adultery with harlOt. called
slavery lived with her till she died of
corruption and was buried amid the
sobs and groans Of her paramour. The
that surrounds Democ-
racy is full of noxious vapors that
breed moral pestilence and death.
The sun never shines through it; vice
seeks its shadow and corruption grows
lusty under its unholy influence.
Springs of purity are never found IN
Democracy. Its waters are torpid,
lifeless; covered with the filth and
scum with which stagnant pools aud
moveless waters always offend the
eyes Of men The soil which De-
mocraey has cultivated has failed to
yield harvests of value to the nation,
but has given crops of worthless weeds
and briars. Democracy has no love
of country believes in States instead
of nation drives loyalty from its
doors and welcome treason to its habl-
tations; holds the deeds of our sol
diers and sailors as naught; strives
to blacken the names of our heroes !;
weeps over the lost cause hates the
blue aud loves the gray stabs 10y.

and comfort to it's devotees /; applauds
when helpless blacks are stricken
down in the South, and caresses the
hands red with their innocent blood !;
denies the right of American citizens
to make homes for themselves in the
South justifies the men who shoot
them down or drive them out. De-
mocracy is curse to the land, the
source of our bitterest woes, the haven
where vice finds friends and crime its
apologists and defenders. Democracy
is original sin let loose to rend and
destroy it is the spirit of evil. filling
the swine of the nation the incMna-
ton of unholiness; the child of the
devil; its home should be i'll that
outer darkness where there is weep
ing, wailing and gnashing of tex TIL.
Such, family pictured, my friend, is

cratic party"

He Bet in His Mind.

A short time ago, remarks the
Vieksburg Herald, the fine steamer
Lee, in making her trip from New
Orleans, had her full complement of
passengers. AS they walked about
listlessIy, aud were apparently an
noyed, they listened willingly to u
suggestion from an individual who
owned monte bank, that, just to
pass away time, they should buck at
monte. The dealer found Il table
handy, and opened his bank. In a
short time most of the company were
engaged in game. After it had pro-
crossed while, Il reugh looking stran-
ger, who was closely observing the
game, handed to the dealer Il five
dollar piece. The dealer, surprised,
asked him why he had done SO, when
he was told that he (the strangely had
lost it fairly, as he bad bet, i'll his
mind, on the queen. After several
deals the stranger gave the dealer
$40, making a statement similar to
the first, whereupon the banker peck
eted the money, thinking that he had
found "a lunatic.
After short time had elapsed the
passengers startled by a most terrific
veil, looked in wonder and alarm at
the contortions of the stranger, who,
jumping about the group, cried out
at every jump: :.
:" I've won! I've won! I've won it
Won what 2n asked the banker.
"Why, I've won $3.50! 1 bet. in
my mind, on the cayier, and he won
Hand over the money"
As the banker had permitted him
to lose when betting in his mind, he
had to pay him the money. The
stranger received the money and also
a request to be more audible in his
bets.

A good old Georgia farmer plants
every year piece of cotton which he
calls his preacher patch" the pro-
ceeds gong to the support of his pas
tor. This has a moral. 1t will be
seen at once that every farmer who
does not take Il paper, and who can
not bring himself to it any other way,
ought to have his paper patch" And
it is equally clear that all non-sub-
scribing people of whatever occupa-
ton, who cannot pay regularly for a
first-class newspaper in the same way
as for shoes, hats, or any other neces-
sary comfort of life, ought to adopt
some similar artful dodge.

Mineral POisOns.

When Macbeth told the Doctor to throw
physic to the dogs" and added that he
would take none of it, he was doubtless adj
dressing one of those empires who prescribe
Mercury, Calonel, Bismuth, Quinine and
Arsenic for every disease they have occasion
to treat in the course of their practice. Min
eral poison when once taken in the system
is enfeebliug in its effects, and can never be
eradicated, but is a source of perpetual tor
ment, causing pains and aches to affect the
sufferer every time there is change of the
weather. The only safety lies in purely veg
etable remedies, such as DIR. RADCLIFF's
SEVEN SEALS OR GOLDEN WONDER, which is
a sovereign remedy in great variety of the
most common and malignant diseases.
