THE PLEDGE At SPUNKY POINT.
A Tale ofVirtuous fort and Human Perfidy
BY JOHN HAY.

| Its all very we'll for prcnchin',
But prcachiu' aud practice don't gee;
I'm posted on virtue and temperance,
And You cant ring 1t in on the.
jest toddlc along with your pledge, Squire
Fl that's what You want me To sign;
BctwiNt me and yon, I'VE been thar,
And I'll not take any in mine.
A year ago last Fo'th July
lot o the boys was here;
We all got corncd aud signed the pledge
Fur To drink no more that year.
There was Tilman JOY and sheriff Mcphail,
And me and Abncr Fry.
And Shclhy's boys, LcvitirHs-
And the Golycrs-Lukc and Cy.
And We antccd up n hundred
In the hands Of Deacon Kcdgc,
For to he divided the fnllcrin Foth
Mong~t the boys that KEEP the pledge.
And We knowed each other 80 well, Squire,
You may take my scalp for 4 fool
Ell every mau when he signed his maine
Didn't feel dead sure OF the pool.
Fur while il all went lovely;
We put up Il job next day
Fur to make JOY b'licye that his wife was
dead,
And hc went home mlllin' gay.
Then Ahncr Fry hc killed n mar,
And atorc he was hung, McPhail
jest btlHcd the widdcr outcnihcr sheer
by gittin' him slowed III iail.
BH; Christmas scoopcd the sheriff
The cgguugS gathered him ILL
And Shclbys boy, Lcviticus,
Was New Years tight rs sin;
And along in March the Golycrs
Got 80 drunk that Il fre-h-blcd owl
Would a looked, longsIdc u them two
young men,
Like 4 sober temperance fowl
For months alone walked the chalk;
thought my heart woud break.
And all them boys a,slappin' my back,
And akin, "What'll YOU takct"
never slept without trcamin' dreams
OF Burbn, Peach OF Rye,
But chawcd at my nggcr-hcad and sworc
I'd take that pool OF die.
At last the Fo'th-I bumped myself
Through chores and breakfast soon,
Then scootcd down To Taggart's store,
For the pledge WAS Oft ut noon;
And all the boys was gathered thar,
And each man hilt his glass,
Watchin' me and the clock, quite solemn
like,
L vi 10 scc inc last Minute pass
The clock struck twelve! raised the jug,
And took one luvin' pull
was hollcr clar from skull to boots,
II seemed | couldn't git full.
But | was reused 10y ticndsh laugh
That might have raised the dead
Them ornary sucaks had sot the clock
. A half an hOur ahead,
"All right ] squawkcd, "you'vc got me;
jest order your drinks agin,
And we'll paddle mp to the Dcacon's
And scoop the ante in
Bat when we got mp Ia Hedges,
What u sight was that we saw!
The Deacon and Parson Skectcrs
In the tail Of game Of draw.
They had shook EN- the hcft of the mornin',
The Parsons luck was far,
And he rakcd, the minute we got thar,
The last of our pool on par,
80, no more temperance for me, Squire;
low its all very fine
But ~ for myself, | thank yc,
I'll not take any in mine.

An Extraordinary Accident.

An extraordinary accident occur.
red at Pointer g. Sons hoop mills In
Pittsburg, about seven o'clock We'd
nesday evening Of last week. There
were one hundred hands at work in
the mill, and although it was literally
torn to pieces all escaped unhurt.
At the time noted, the belt that runs
the governor Of the engine in the mill
slipped off or broke, lie ting on
several times more steam than
was necessary to furnish the power
required to run the mill. The engi-
neer seeing the imminent danger, not
only got away in the twinkling Of an
eye, but succeeded almost instantan-
eously in communicating his fright
to the balance, and all scratched
gravel at rate that emptied the mill
in less than half minute.
1t was we'll they did, for the tre-
mendous momentum given to the
large fy-wheel was such as to cause
it to resolve itself into a multitude of
pieces, each piece flying with the ve-
locity OF cannon ball. So thor
oughly and generally were the frag-
ments distributed that they knocked
almost every prop from under the
structure, and caused it to settle In.
to heap OF ruins.

There has seldom been a party
ushered into existence which made
such noise and clatser as the new
National. Every speaker seems to
be trombone charged with nitro
elycerine. and when he blows, it is
expected that the old parties are to
go up in the air in disjointed frag-
ments. There is too much sulphur
for he charcoal, and Kearney and
Ben Butler will not be able to sue
cessfully mix the ingredients. The
GresnbGck men, who have given
hem their responsibility, will soon
find their co-workers uncongenial,
and that. they caunot afford to throw
aside the party that made green
backs and have defended .hen, for
the uncertain chances of adventur-
ers and political schemers.-Inter-

The MicrOphone in the nulnit.

The Halifax Gngland) Guardian
gives the following account Of an in
teresting experiment with the mic
rophone: "A microphone was placed
in the pulpit OF a chapel in the town.
on recent Sunday, and connected
by private telegraph line with the
residence of a gentleman over a mile
distant. Every part Of the service
was distinctly heard at the gentle
mans house. with the exception OF a
few words rendered indistinct by the
preachers becoming little excited,
and shaking the microphone. So
faithfully did the instrument do its
work that the chapel-keeper was
heard to close the doors after SER
vice, walk up the aisle, and up the
pulpit steps, in conversation with
some one else. The idea is about to
be put to practical use, the gentle
man already referred to having given
instructions that his house should be
connected with another in the neigh
borhood. In order that an invalid may
hear the service from one OF the
churches in the town.
