A BLACK HiIls miner. acalped and dead,

An Indian summers round"
What time be rideth forth to shoot,
His favoriie horse the dspple is;
And when he wants . little fruit,
Goes where the indianapolis.
When finished are his var like tasks
With brasen iScongruity
For osercDats and food he asks,
Withdrawing Indianuity.
At night before his bed he seek,
With coun,enance iorlorn,
He takes his scalping knife, and exc
He trims the Indian corn.
Thi. Temperance business i big thing
And whisky il big thing. too. We once
heard cf Wild young man Who drank
deep and ran through vith all his fortune.
He went to hts old rich gray -haired sire,
and asked for money. The old gentleman
took him aside and pointed out to him the
evil Of his ways.
He iajaresl his health.
Loat bis responsibility.
Spent al his substance
Sioned against heaven.

We knew . young men Of great promise
the only non Of . widowed mother and
her main unprecedented BY all Who
knew him-honest, industrious, temperate
and religious-he went away from the
house one Fourth Of July morning to en-
joy himself in company with others-his
gray haired mother kised him At the
and warned him against the
cup. That night, way after mid
night, after his mother had spent weary.
.eonizing hours Of patient watching AMI
suspen.e, a loud knock vas heard at the door.
Hastily she spr.ng To the summons With her
heart beating wildly in her bosom. and

II il mighty hard to tell, nov. Who IL
alead-Brigham Young is dead, but
Beecher il alive. And a. il he wasn't
enough, from the divorce suits, breach Of
promise cases in the newspapers, We should
think the whole Of mankind had gone
TO work TO help the old man out. Here il \
few lines onto that late lamented Brighsm !:
One more polygsmoua,
Short in the breath,
Frixhtfully bi9amous,
Gone to his death.
Turn not away from him,
Ecorning to touch;
Go nearer and think of him
Married 70 much.
Think of his fathers in-lav,
Two hundred moihers-in.law,
Three hundred sisters in-law,
Forty old mothers-in Law,
All in one family,
Left polygamily;
Think of their daily life,
Full of dome tic strife,
Cat fights and squealine;
Think Of the tears and cries,
Then try to Ann Ellie
Some OF their feelings.
Oh! turn not away from him,
Scorning In touch
Go nearer and think of him
Married 70 much.
Oh Z! this n piiiful!
A city with willows full,
Buxom snd fair.
Old blackburn. think Of It.;
Go near the brink of il
Nov, If you dare.
Still, for his bieamy
And muddy poIigamy.
Leave him ut rest;
Cross his NAnda hnmbly,
Asif praying d"mbly.
Over his breast.
We will conclude this tale with that al
another, hoping these few lines may reach
