stumpv wicI1s, Funeral.

stumpy Wicks was dead, says the
Coeu PAleNe Eaale. The mountain
fever had killed him. A few days
before he had started off into the
hills, telling the boys he would
find something rich or never go out again.
He did not find anything rich, and he
never went out again. The fever laid its
grip on him, and in three days he was
dead. He had ''gone over the range the
bows said 1t became necessary to bury
Stumpv Wicks. Aud how was he to be
buried? He had no relatives. By the
town? There was no town. BY his pard?
He had no pard. Forty years ago Stumpy
Wicks had left his home-no one knew
where-and his people-no one knew
whom-to wander alone in the west. lie
died alone. His wife, his mother, his Sis
ter, if he had one, will never know where
he died, or what hands laid him in his
grave.
1t was the boys. They got together and
made a coffin out of box or two and COW
cred it with black cloth. They put
Stumpy into it with clean -four sack
over MS poor, dead face. They Clipped
in and hired an eX-parson, who for some
years had abandoned his profession, to
'sgive Stumpy a send-off." They dug a
grave to a good and honest depth in the
tough red earth. They went out and
found fiat rock for head stone, and on
it they scratched the brief epitaph.
"Stumpy Wicks." Then they followed
the coffin wagon to the grave, walking
through the mud and rain. There were
forty men who stood around that open
grave, and not one woman to drop a tear,
as the ex-parson read a briet portion of
the Episcopal burial service and offered a
short nrayer There was no history of
Stumpy's life. No one knew that history.
1t was doubtless a sad enough one, fun of
slips and stumbles; full of hope, perhaps,
before he finally "lost his grip" They
found a woman's picture, very old and
quite worn out indeed, in Stumpy's pock-
ct, and this was buried with him. This
was probably his history.

long she waited she had no idea. Mr..

tenden has 500, 600, less commissions,
making her profits on 1900 shares $685.

sessed OF so large an amount Overcame
her and she tainted, but was quickly re-
stored. Mr.. Keene aided her with his
good judgment in securing sound invest
ments for her fortune, and to-day Mrs.
Tom Crittenden is enjoying the fortune
which her good luck and Mr.. keene's
generosity and sagacity made for her.

An Intelligent Goat.

The San Diego (Cal.) Herald re-
lates an incident displaying remark
able intelligence on the part of goat. A
citizen of the place has two goats, and to
prevent their doing injury to the gardens
of the neighbors, one is usually picketed
out, the other never leaving It's mate.
The other day one was picketed some
distance from home, and &C evening the
loose goat came running to the house,
making a bleating noise of distress and
scratching against the gate, and after
drawing attention would run off in the
direction where the other one was
picketed. This operation was repeated
three times, when the owner concluded
that something was the matter, and
started in the direction indicated. Moth
ing could exceed the joy of the goat,
manifested by jumping and frisking about,
and it led the way to the spot where the
other one was. Here the picketed animal
was found to be in a precarious position.
1t had climbed a tree stump, and the
picket rope had caught in broken limb,
and the goats fore feet were held entirely
of the ground. He was quickly released,
when the goat that gave the alarm
repeated its demonstrations of joy, and
showed its affection for its mate by rub
bling against il and licking it.

DAINTY DIsHwAsHING.
Deacon Marvin's Revelation.
Hartford courant.

A story is told in Lyme, Conn.,, and it is
true, that in the former days of the good
old town there was an eccentric Deacon
Marvin living there in single life, who be-
came impressed with the feeling that he
ought to marry Miss Betsy Lee, a spruce
young maiden whose home was on the
outskirts of the town, and who was
devoted member of the same church with
himself. Accordingly, mounting his
horse one Monday morning, clad in the
garments of the preceding day, he leisur-
ingly proceeded toward the home of Betsy,
meditating, as he went, on the joys Of
matrimony; and arriving there; knocked
at the door, when the young lady in
person responded to the call. Though
Just emerging from the wash-room in
home-spun blue kirtle and with arms
barred to the shoulders, she showed no
embarrassment at the sight Of the young
deacon, and only an additional touch Of
color mounted to her face. The first
salutations being over, the visitor still
sitting ON his horse, proceeded without
further delay to state his business as
follows:

ton. He gets $4,000 a year from the
London illustrated Nel0s for writing
page week, and occasional dramatic
criticisms. He gets another $4,000 from
the Daily Telegraph for an editorial a
column long now and then. Besides this
heshas steady income from the sale of
his books and from magazine articles. So.
taking it all in all, Mr.. Sala can hardly
expect to make our hearts ache for him.

up, the eyes turned in the same direction,

1t was the custom in those good old
days, and legal requirement, that the
bans of intended marriage should be pub
lished in the church or some other public
place at least three weeks before the con-
summation of the nuptials. In the mean
time it appears that the parents OF both
the agreeing parties made objections to
the match, but unsuccessfully, and the
bans were nailed upon the church door at
the end of three weeks, written in the
deacon's own hand, he being the town
clerk:

Do both intend to marry;
And though our dads opposed be,
We can nolOnger tarry.
Many years they lived together happily,
and served well their generation. True
to his former characteristics, just before
the ending Of life, the deacon wrote his
own epitaph to be inscribed on his grave
stone, and it may now be read by visitors
in the ancient cemetery in Lyme:
Close behind this stone
There lies alone,
Captain Reynolds Marvin,
Expecting his wife
When ends her life,

self and medals with descriptions Of
his pencils, which he hung on either
side of him. He then replaced his
round lat with magnificent bur

AMONG THE DAISIES,

Lavsh down among the daisies,
With the fringes Of her eyes
Softer than their silver petals
Closed for blissful reyeries.
Fold herlittle hands In wbiteness
As In prayer on her breast;
Fear not their folded lightness
On the heart unmoving pressed
For that heart of angel brightness,
Tired 80 early, lies at rest.
Tired 20 early,-when the dawning
Glimmered white-Hinged through the room
And the skies were hah-awakiug,
Half in fading starlit gloom
From the heaven of the starlight
Came the angels Of the dawn;
And the morning winds were signing
And the curtains eastward drawn,
And her sleeping face looked brighter,
And whispering sob'said--s gone
Alfthe daisies-were unfolding
In the aelds where never more
Shall the rapture of her child-life'
Run In shout and laughter DER.
Tired so earlysl-she has gathered
All her gladness in sviit.space,
She has sang ner song and ended,
ghildlil1e turning pleading face
Back To honfe when Joys are weary
'powasd the'one familiar place.
Lay her low among the daisies;
Angels knew her more than We
They have led her home from wandering,
Tired with earthly reyclry.
And above her daised pillow
Let her simple tale be told:
Here the Lover of the lilies
Babe little bos som fold:
He,thnt.wakes the flowers shall wake her,
White Us snow, with heart OF gold.

Certain portions of the West are
called upon to quarantine against a
stranger epidemic which is carrying
off the youth of marriageble age. A
female minstrel troupe will strike %
Western burg, and the young men,
throwing allegiance to the females in
| digenous othe region, will PROSTATE
themselves at the feet of the strange
chambers-Bri.ish Blondes, Mastodon
Daisies, or whatever the show repre-.
sents them to be. When the show
moves on the love-lorn fellows are
lost forever to their native prairies.
Two Milwaukee boys, lately, pursued
such a troupe to Chicago, and there
doubled up for life with the end
ladies'. 1t may have been the pros
pect of life with beauteous beings,
who exist but to joke and pun and
that lured the boys on. But as the
years roll by, and the joke never
varies and the pun remains as ar
chaic rs when Noah knew it, the
awakening will come, and the poor
dupes, will begin to realize the i'm
mcnsity of their folly. Even Milwau.
kee men could not stand minstrel
humor, as y steady diet for more than
a quarter of century.
I SOMEBODY who has examined the
statistics of some of the big battles of
the war, finds that eighty soldiers, all
shot above the hips, and all of one
regiment, fell dead at one volley in
the battle of Gettysburg. AT Fair
Oaks twenty men went down, one
upon another, in square of few
feet, and never moved limb among
them after falling. One SHE'LL at Cole
Harbor exploding in the ranks of an
Ohio.regiment, killed sixteen soldiers.
At Savage Station. during McClellan's
