A CORPSE on A SPREE.

There is in Leavenworth tall, blond
youth, Henry Arnold Green, who, by
the free use of his little pistol and his
wild, drunken sprees, made himself
famous in this city about a year ago.
He is part owner of the Leavenworth
Appeal. He receives regularly large
income from his English estate, which
he devotes to the qualification of his
whims. On Monday last Green felt
more than usually funny. He had seen
a funeral procession, and it pleased him
to have little funeral all to himself.
Having first secured the services OF a
hackman, he directed him TO drive to
an undertaking establishment and there
he ordered hearse and horse, and an
empty coffin.
The coffin was put into the vehicle,
but before the doors were closed the
Englishman said that it was his pleasure
to .sget in there himself" After i'll
structing the hackman to follow a GER
tain line of procession at a given
distance from the hearSe, lie crawled
inside, and, lying down beside the
coffin, lighted cigar The procession
then moved off down Cherokee street,
at funeral pace, the hearsa in front
and hack following. AS they went
down Cherokee street the knight of the
black plumes produced two bottles of
whiskey, which he placed along side
of the coffin, and proceeded to wind up
two days spree. Presently they came
in contact with large crowd, who
were on their way to attend festival,
and who made comments on the strange
funeral procession. The English corpse,
becoming anxious to know by what
authority he was delayed on the high
way, called loudly for the driver to
stop, and while SO doing turned over in
his narrow apartment and with a loud
crash, forced a portion of his body
through one of the largest oval panes
of glass on the side of the hearse. The
crowd could not stand corpse breaking
out of its coffin, jumping through the
side of the hearse, and calling to the
driver to stop further proceedings,
They fled in all directions. After once
more getting in side, the author OF this
adventure was driven to Shawnee street,
and then he returned the hearse and
coffin to their owner.-haaSas City

ONE BY ONE.

One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going,
Do not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy Guties wait thee,
Let thy whole strength go to each,
Let no future dream elate thee,
Learn then first what these can teach.
One BY one (bright gifts from heaven
Joys are sent thee here below,
Take them readily when given,
Ready, too, to let them go.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band,
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land.
DO not look at life's long sorrow
See how small each moments pain,
God will help thee for the morrow,
So each day begin again.
Every hour that fees so slowly,
Has its task do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
Donot linger with regretting,
Or for passing hours despond,
Nor the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links, Gods token,
Reaching to heaven; but one by one
Take them, lest the chain be broken,
Ere the pilgrimage be done.

"Mrs. Swipes, now do be sensible.

money for sugar, fruit, cans, wax, fire
wood and the deuce knows what all.
But some way or other you never do

no. YOU don't spend any money, but |
spend it all. If that's SO, where do you
get money to play pedro aud come

WoRTIN OF IMIrATIoN.--A marriage
took place in Shenandoah last week, ia
which the conduct Of the bride, We
think, set an example worthy Of imita.
ton. She made up her plain, but neat
wedding clothes, aud then pursued her
regular household duties without inter.
ruption until she wac married. An
hour before the time fixed for the wed
ding she laid aside her knitting,rcmark-
ing TO friend who was with her that
she reckOncd it was about time 10 get
ready for her wedding. In the morn
ing she doffrd her ribbons and lac,s
and douned her working clothes aud
spent the honeymoon in the kitchen.
In a week she bad her home well fur
nishcd with furniture and wares, all
gotten with money Of her own earning,
aud in less than ten days she was house
keeping. We understand she says she
intends to make man of her husband.
Ii he possesses any of the elements Of
true manhood, We have very little doubt
but that she will succeed. -Rocki"g-

who drinks is never, in the end, "the
man who laughs" He is generally the
one who weeps, or fer whom others
must shed bitters tears. He is alas a
member of no particular class of society.
You meet him everywhere, from the
lowest to the highest place of the world,
and always find him not only his own
worst enemy, but the unconscious enc
my of all who trust him.
If among a band of hard working
mechanics you find one who, on wages
others deem sufficient for decent clothes,
tidy rooms and comfortable dinners, Is
always out at the elbows, always at log
gerheads with his landlord, and always
complaining of hard times, ten to one,
he is the man who drinks.
If, on the Judges bench you meet a
man who deals unjustly, who Judges s
unrighteously, who is tacetious in the
presence of misery and makes crime a
lest, and the sentence of some poor
wretch an excuse for stupid puns and
vulgar witticism, there, also you may
know the man who drinks-in his own
snug little room, perhaps not openly,
but all the same a drunkard.
If YOU see woman worn pale and
wretched from some unknown cause,
fear in her eyes, anxiety in her voice,
youth gone too early,>and daily duties
mere sad burdens, ten to one her hus-
band is the man who drinks for who
ever knew that man to keep his VOW,
and love cherish and protect his wife?
The beggar children in the cutters,
ignorant, and vile, and wretched beyond
description, are his offspring. The Jail
opens to let him in. The gallows some
times ends his life.
