A FRONTIER STORY.
Helped Him Drive Cattle.

[Oppe p. Read in Drakes Magazine
Some time ago Rube Mahon asked
me if I would go into the Indian Ter
ritory with him and assist in driving
out large herd of cattle which he had
purchased. "I know you need the
recreation," said he, looking around at
my narrow, dipgy quarters, "for ! can
see that this energy-sapping spring
weather is drawing the life out of you.
Come, what do you say?"
was at the time the sub-editor Of
tho Western Pulpit, q religious paper
of much Influence and many typo
graphical errors. I had been given
employment not so much on account
of my scriptural information and in
cisive defense Of the creed, as on account
of my ability to make paste and extort
groans from q hand press. The breth.
rem of the circuit seemed to be much
pleased with me-all except an old
deacon, who, after had eaten dinner
at his house, said to his wife that l
could eat parson out Of house and

my reverie.

"I'll lend you a horse. Well hav,

I stood by the grave OF my father,
Who died in the good while ago;
He sleeps near the grand Sacramento,
In the land OF the sunset-yon Know.
Fond memories came gathering around me,
Commingled with pleasure and pain;
AS stood by the marble slab dreaming.
And lived Ger my childhood again.
saw him then. as grew older.
1 thought him commanding and stern,
But never once found hlm impatient.
10 help me hard lessons to learn.
1 remembered loved him, yet feared him,
And sometimes, thought duty was hard,
But never did these lips upbraid him,
Nor give him & cross, chufltsh word.
All, pearl drops in memories casket,
PHI bury them here by the sod,
And weep, as read tins inscription,
..Tho God OF jacob was his God"
Then thought OF u sad April morning,
I think, in the spring Forty-nine;
Whom father with wagons and outfit,
Left mother and children behind.
Aud turned himself to the gold land
OF far California's shore.
Aud sadly, alas, remembered,
He never returned any more.
How often in childhood wondered
Why father should leave us and GO
To the far away land of the sunset.
But gold has its gilding-you know.
And would not unfold memories leaflets,
1t would tell OF bright hopes, fond and
1t would tell Of hopes blighted, all too.
I remembered the day that he left us,
lived it all over again,
From earliest childhood never,
Could bear to SEQ mother in pain.
So ran to the underwood yonder,
BY the timothy patch on tho hill,
And hid myself low in the bushes
And waited SO breathless and still.
l watched the long train Of wagons
Till they passed out of my sight;
When I went to my homo, it was lonely,
oh, how we missed father that night
When brother como back from tho wagons,
L noticed tear in his eye
as he falteringly said to me. Lutte,
Father said, tell you-good-byc."
None know that tho words were so heavy,
Mono knew how the childish heart blod,
i felt myself such coward,
And bitter tho tears that shed.
1 didn't know that father would miss mo
Or I'd never have given him pain,
I'd have told him goodbye, yes and kissed
him,
For never saw father again.
o, could I but close tho worn pages,
Or could the phantom undo;
Alas (; that the shades of the evening
Should unfold the sad picture to view.
Thus thought of tho child, and the coward,
Though my hair is now very gray,
l thought of the sad April morning,
OF love 1 could never repay.
An offering of evergreen flowers,
1 placed just inside the head stone
AS drop'd there tho tear of contrition,
Then turned to my Parkway home.
1 pondered tho days of my childhood,
Till clouds gathered thick on the mind,
When l found with surprise and with
pleasure,
The most of life's journey behind.
I turned mo then to tho sunset,
To SOC if the dark clouds We're thero,
For moment they bafled each other,
Then drifting away, all was clear.
Then thought of that beautiful morning,
Whose light seemed to dawn in the far,
How that father, and mother and children
Would rest in that Home over there.
