A SONG OF LIFE.

Make life long by noble deeds,
Make it sweet by loving;
Walk in paths where duty leads,
Ever onward moving.
Life is short in point of years,
Bitter oft with sorrow;
Dim we look through mists of tears
Tward the dread tomorrow.
1t were naught if this be all:
Breathing, sleeping, waking;
Clean of sunshine-then a pail
Hearts with anguish breaking.
Were this all, OH then at best
Life's a withered flower;
SWeeter far to be at rest
From its blighting power.
We may make it what We will,
Grand in strength and beauty;
And with sheaves our bosom fill
Cleaned from fields of duty.
Make life long by noble deeds,
Make it sweet by loving;
And as day to night succeeds,
Onward We are moving.

Linguistic Mistakes.

An old resident of Stepford, who has
gone to his reward, and left pleasant
memory behind him. was notorious for
his laughable linguistic mistakes. he
was am using in his choice of phrases,
especially when addressing Sunday
school or a convention.
He was once called upon to make "a
few brief remarks" at Sunday concert.
The subject, illustrated by different
text of scripture, was the weapons of
Christian warfare. 1t was topic suit
ed to old Ms temper, and, waxing elo-
quent over the panoply of the church
militant, he closed with the following
peroration:
"And 50, children. when you 60 out to
fight the devil, march right up to him
boldly, with the sword in one hand, the
shield in the other, and the breast plate
of righteousness on your foreheads."
Even this was surpassed by temper
ance speech he delivered at meeting
where an audience Was duu, and the
speakers uninteresting. NJ, seeing that
there was DO enthusiasm, rose with a
strong purpose to stir the meeting up
Said he:
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Citizens
We seem to be lacking in enthusiasm at
this meeting. We need more anima>
tion, sir, more zeal for the cause, more
devotedness to the great question of
saving drunkards. We need more earn
estness, Mr.. Chairman, more life, more
more-in short-more ardent spirits"
That woke up the meeting, and there
was no want for animation, certainly
for the next few moments.

ROBE OF HYPOCRISY

We want to tell you that you can
not get the robe of hypocrisy on you
so thick that the sharp eye of child
hood will not see through every veil,
and if you pretend to your children
that you are the best man that ever
lived--the bravest man that ever
llved-they will find you out every
time. They will not have the same
opinion of father when they grow up
that they used to have. They will
have to be in mighty bad luck if they
ever do meaner things than you have
done. When your child confesses to
you that it has committed fault.
take that child in your arms, and let
it feel your heart beat against its
heart, and raise your children in the
sunlight of love, and they will be
sunbeams to you along the pathway
OF life. Abolish the club and the
whip from the house, because, if the
civilized use a whip, the ignorant and
the brutal will use club, and they
will use it because you use the whip

TEN YEARS AMONG THE SIOUX.

Sebastian Beck, who spent the last
ten years of his life among the Sioux
Indians, by aid of the government,
has returned to his home in New
York. He says at the beginning OF
1875, he and his family and twenty
four others, decided to go to the
Black Hills. They helped to build
DeadwoOd and engaged in the min
ing business on the cooperative plan.
In the first three months their net
earnings amounted to S10,S in gold.
On July Is, 1875, the little camp was
attacked by Sitting Bull and his
braves, who captured all hands, CON
fscating the gold, provisions, horses,
wagons and other effects of New
Workers. In Sitting Bulls camp
Beck became separated from his fam
lily, and has been unable to find out
what has become of them. The In
dams put war paint on him and gave
him squaw to marry. He scalped
thirty-five of Sitting Bulls enemies,
and was made chief Ongadonga as a
reward for his bravery. Beck's es-
cape, as he calls it, was made with the
aid of Maj. Walsh, of the Northwest
mounted police. He was glad to get
away, because he is 81 years old and
cannot stand the exposure. He add
ed:
"The food, too, is bad. We had to
eat raw or half cooked buffalo meat,
fried rattlesnake, grasshOpper soup
and such things. Sage tea was the
principal drink besides water. Many
times | have gone two or three days
without eating"
He said that the Indian agents
were frauds, and that the redskins
had been imposed upon so often that
they distrusted all white men, and
would tell them to stay away. He
said:
II don't blame the Indians for
burning ranches, after having been
swindled by villains who were gov
eminent agents. If the officials
treated them that way, what would
they naturally expect of the other
white people"
Beck's mother keeps a boarding
house in Chatham street, and after a
visit there he will go to Washington

HOMELESS.

Rev. E. j. Haynes said to a Bos-
ton audience on Sunday, that sit was
one of the dangers of our life that so
many prosperous young men are de-
cllning the burdens of domesticity.
In hotels, in boarding houses, in all
the caravansaries, you see the rich
young man neglecting the woman
who should be walking in purity at
his his side. There is nothing so
dangerous to the Anglo-Saxon blood
as homelessness. The old race is dy-
ing out of Massachusetts Kansas is
the New England of to-day; the new
Vermont is in Minnesota. Oh, that
you would think about home. rich
young man, and establish one. There
is no cure so good tor the foolish
craze for fashion in the mind of the
young American girl so as to get to
be on terms of hopeful intimacy and
wooing with a sensible, frugal mind
ed, and, in this sense, rich young
man. All the great questions of soci-
ology take there root in home. No
man can take an interest in the
school system until he sees his bows
going to be educated; no man can
take an interest in the streets of
city, and in the trouble about the
dram shop until he sees his own chill
dren passing through those streets.
When his children touch the pave
ment of a city, the father worships
the ground that city is built upon.
Nothing so helps man in spiritual
apprehension as to have a prudent
and senible, God-fearing young wo-
man for his wife. God save that
city from which the homes are disap-
pearing. No man, until he has we'd
ded a good woman, takes upon his
heart the burdens of citizenship.
What, now, can the rich young man
do in these respects? Somehow he
will help to solve this problem. He
may remove the prohibition put upon
home life by the high rents of the
city. Perhaps he will carry out a
scheme for establishing humble
homes for humble men he will bring
about proper means of accommoda-
ton for honest toll. The hardest
problem of to-day is the problem of
rent and homes in great cities"

A FLORIDA POCAHONTAS.

Duncan McKrimmon was a citizen
of Milledgeville, and was a soldier in
the United States service during the
Seminole war in Florida. On one
occasion he went fishing and lost his
way, and was captured by party OF
hostile Indians, headed by the cele-
brated prophet, Francis. The In
dams prepared to burn McKrimmon.
They tied him to stake, and then
began to dance around him.
Milly Francis, the youngest daugh-
ter of the prophet, who was about II
years of age, was sad and silent. She
pitied the poor prisoner. When thu
fatal tomahawk was raised to strik,
the fatal blow she placed herself be.
tween it and the prisoner, and reso
lutely babe the Indian that if h,
thirsted for blood to shed hers, bein!
determined, she said, not to survive
the prisoner. A momentary pause
was produced by this unlooked-fol
occurrence, and she took advantage
OF the circumstance to implore the
pity of her ferocious father, who fin.
ally yielded to her wishes.
McKrimmon few days afterwards
was sold to the Spaniards at St. Marks
for y gallons of rum.
AS long as McKrimmon was pris
oner, Milly showed him acts of kind.
ness. The fortunes of war finally
placed her in the power of the white
people. She arrived at Fort Gads-
den with a number of others in a
starving condition. She was kindly
treated. McKrimmon heard of her
as prisoner, and left Milledgeville
to seek her for the purpose of making
her his wife. He failed to reach his
destination.

A DEADLY MOUNTAIN SPRING.

Every tourist who comes to Wyo-
ming Territory is told of the beauti-
! full but deadly Rattlesnake mountains
are warned not to battle in the ia.
nous Clinging Spring. The spring
is in valley of the widest beauty
1t is circular in form and perhaps
LOO feet in circumference. The wa
ter Is clear and two feet deep. The
temperature during the fall is OF
blood warmth and during the remain
der of the year icy cold. The beauti-
full spring entices the tired traveller
or the mountain tramp to battle in
its waters. But the pleasant tempta-
ton conceals deadly snare. Many
have bathed but it was the bath of
death. The bottom which, through
the pellucid waters, seems to be com
posed OF white sand almost marble
like in purity and polish, is in reality
sucking quagmire, and once within
its clinging there is no such thing as
aid or escape.
Men without number have perish
ed III this fatal trap, some with ago
nized friends standing not more than
score of feet away and utterly pow
erless. While the spring is remote
from any high road or even any gen
eral trail, all around it is noted
hunting region. Occasionally an
unfortunate stranger finds himself on
the margin of this fatal spring, and
yielding to its seductions plunges in
and is seen no more. His fate is a
mystery, and is very probably laid to
the account of the savage mountain
lion or the ferociOus silver-tip bear.
Indians relate that years ago a par
ty of red hunters found the spring
at the close of toilsome hunt in the
early fall. One of the braves declined
to battle in the tepid waters. The
clinging sands soon seized him, and
he cried for help. This promptly af-
forded, one of the Indians throwing
him the moose end of a stout buck
skin lariat. The sinking brave pass
ed the moose around one arm and his
comrades began to haul on the rope.
They could not even arrest the fear
full descent. A horse was hastily
brought and hitched to the end of the
lariat. The good cord held fast, but
in place of the man only his arm was
jerked from the clinging depths,
while the crawling sands choked the
death song of the buried brave.

UNNATURAL VIRTUE.

Spartan frmness" and "Rcman
virtue" are the words of praise that
are commonly applied to describe
that act of George Sterling of Waco,
Texas, who delivered his own son up
to the law that he had offended.
knowing full well that the boy was
thus brought to the door of the peni-
tertiary by his fathers hand. 1t
was an act of rugged fortitude that is
called admirably by. men who in the
DRY place the love of justice above
natural affection; but men in whose
bosoms filial or parental love abides
will find little in the eccentric act to
applaud. If self-preservation is the
first law of nature, the preservation
and protection of those allied to us
by blood is the second law. In pa
rents mind the question of a sons
guilt can never be debated. Cato
like virtue is often unnatural harsh
ness.
Euthyphron, the Athenian, in the
excess of his zeal for the cause of JUS
tice, indicted his father at the kings
porch tor the murder of hired SER
want. Socrates asks him if he has
such a perfect knowledge of holiness
and impiety that he is sure he is
right in bringing his father to trial.
Euthyphron confidently answers that
he is doing what is right in the pros
ecutlOn of one who acts unjustly,
whoever he may be, but that not to
prosecute such a one is impious.
Though the proposition is good
enough, abstractly, the present APP
plication of it so horrifes even the
just nature of Socrates, that he labors
to convince the unnatural son that
he is doing an unholy thing.-TF Fort

GALVESTON FIRE DREAM.

Attention is directed to the subject
of dreams by special dispatch from
Madison, Indiana. Mr.. 0. V. Flora
OF that city on the night of the Gal
weston fire had very vivid dream, in
which he saw the city of Galveston in
flames. He recognized the city, and
saw men, women and children fleeing
from the fire, and noticed plainly the
black, desolate track of the confa-
grafton. He noticed that the wind
was very high, and that it famed the
flames. He thought that he was SO
close to the fire that he could feel the
heat. 1t was some time after he
awakened before he could realize
that his own house was not on fire.
lie related his dream to his family at
breakfast and gave very vivid de-
scriptiOn of Galveston and the con-
Migration. At that hour no news of
the Galveston calamity had reached
the city. The first dispatches were
received at about 8 o'clock in the
morning. Assuming that Mr.. Flora's
account can be relied upon, what ex-
