nature with talent for carving N wood,
as is evidenced by the work referred to.
The staff is mounted with the head
and beak of an eagle, resting upon the
top of what is said to be q remarkably
fine likeness of himself carved by his
own hands. Below these heads are a
series of Masonic emblems, rattle
snake rose leaf and twig. lion, wild
duck, turtle, trout, another snake,
sheaf of wheat, bundle of sticks, a
panther an elephant, a gariish, an owl,
a rabbit, a squirrel and pipe. All of
these figures were carved in the hard
wood, and Notwithstanding the fact
that the work was executed more than
half century ago, It's well preserved,
and will be kept by its owner and
handed down to his posterity as a relic
well worth the keeping. = NashtlHe

the night Of this whole continent into a

AS it approaches Canada it will make

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBurR-Captain Jack
Crawford, one Of the boldest and bravess
scouts that ever travelled tho plains, pays
tho following eloquent tribute to his mother,
and notwithstanding its age il will boar
reproducing:
Il had a Christian mother, my earliest
recollec.ions Of whom was kneeling at her
side praying God to save wayward father
and husband. The mother taught mo to
speak the truth whom child, and I have
tried 10 follow her early teachings in that
respect. 1t would require a much larger
book than this to tell tho story of my lifc
an1 the sufferings of one Of Gods good
angels--my mother. To her owe every
thing-truth, honor and my very life. Her
spirit seems to liugcr near me always; she
has been my guardian angel. In tho camp,
tho cabin, tho fold and the hospital, on the
lonely trail hundreds Of miles from civiliza-
ton, in the pale-clad hills and lonely can
yons, have heard in the moaning night
winds and in tho murmuring stresmlets,
The voice Of my angel mother whispering sol
and low.
and these sacred thoughts have made mo
forget at times that there was no dagger iu
my pathway. Nor will I ever forget
Tho day that We parted, mother aud I,
Never to meet on earth again;
She to happier home on high,
In poor wandsrsr on the plain.
That day was perhaps the greatest epoch
in my life. Knecling by her bedside, with
one hand clasped in mine, tho other resting
on my head, she whispered, MY boy, you
know your mother loves you: Will you
give me one promise, that may take it up
to heaven!' Yes, yes, mvther, I will prom
ise you anything johnny, my son, am

never drink intexicants, aud then it
will not be so hard to leave this world
