THE DEATH OF A DOG.

TA young lady was betrayed. she com
mitted suicide, her brother killed her
betraycr; hence the following lines.
own that I struck him as,d killed him,
AS would have slaughtered a dog;
In his breast sheathed my bowie,
And backward he fell like a log. .... ..
., yes: you might call it murder,
Had it been man that slew;
But to Stay such rabid creature ....
Was righteous deed to do.
Am I sorry? One thing I'm regretting-
That his blood has stained my knife.
I wish that ball from my pistol
Had taken the animals life. <r3
For the blood of such is poison, 1870.
AS deadly as poison can be-; .. E..
But I plucked the knife. from his bosom,
And through it far into the sea. @
A handsome man, as they tell me;
But to me he was never fair,
Whenever his black eyes sparkled,
DelelQ the demon tnere.
l thought of that innocent creature,
And how he had sworn and lied;
1 thought Of the trust she had given,
And how she had suffered and died.
Ithongbt of the dog that bit her,
Of the venom he pressed in the bite,
And believed it to be my duty
To Stay him, at once, on sight.
Was l angry? AS cool as an iceberg,
His death could not open the grave.
1t was then too late TO defend her;
But knew there were others to save.
Don't call him man! For Gods mercy,
Don't satirize men like that!
Has snake soul? or a scorpion?
A mad dog? or vampire bat?
My heart is as soft as a woman's-
To a worm can give the path;
But dare to defy serpent,
Or tiger in his wrath.
I killed the foul creature, crushed him
He is dead, am standing here.
Bring on your judge and your jury!
I am free from the faint of fear. .

Some people think the bill of G, H.
Rines' which was audited by the Com.
missioners at their last session was ex.
brilliantly high. Mr.. Rines presented
an itemized account and the Commits.
sioners carefully examined it; anyone
familiar with the railroad and hotel
charges on the Union Pacific would
say that the bill was very reasonable.
In reality. the bill is only $500 as the
state will pay the balance back into
the county treasury. Furthermore,
Mr.. Rines advanced this money out of
his own pocket, and that was big ac-
commodation, as there was no money
in the county treasury.
One would think, by listening to
some of the debates at the reform
club meetings, that the meanest thing
man could do would be to enter a
saloon to play quiet game of billiards
or drink a glass Of beer. People have
got a. right to think and say what
they please, bnt we will make the as.
sertion, and make itwithout fear of sue
cessful contradiction, that there are
scores Of meaner things man can be
guilty of. yes, as much worse as night
is darker than day. Intemperance-
as the word is generally understood
is gigantic evil, every intelligent man
and woman will admit that fact, but
there are other evils just as bad as in.
temperance.
