ATouxh Experience.

Associated press dispatches from
Nebraska last week stated that C. G..
Akin, an attorney, and a former resi-
dent of Kimball, was tarred and feath-
ersd at Nashville and rode through
town on a scantling, q martial band
heading the procession. The dis.
patches stated that the deed arose
from Akin's practice of contesting
claims. That the act of lawlessness
did not meet with general approval
is evinced by the following special
from Omaha to the St. Paul Pioneer
Press on the 18th:
"Citizens of Nashville, Neb., held an
Indignation meeting last evening and
denounced the action of the mob
which stripped and tarred and feath-
cred Akin, the attorney and land
agent who had contested claims of
settlers. The mob compelled Akin
to sign over property valued at $4,000
for $500. Akin has begun snit for
100000 damages against rcsponsi ble
parties, among whom is ore Cham.
berlain, q sert of banker and money
l%oancr, who was the leader of the
mob. Chamberlain had loaned mon.
ey to settlers to prove up, and he
could not reach Akin except by mob
violence. Chamberlain has tempo.
rarily absented himself. Warrants
are out for his arrest, and kilograms
have been sent in every direction fol
him."
Akin was a resident of KimbalI
for two years. lie left here about a
year ago. He now owns a lot and
building on Main street. During his
residence in Kimball he did not have
a "aimilar experience as some of the
dispatches state, but on the contrary

CHAPTER NNNNII.

1Hc princess hcdfS mars of PcBH0h.
In seven months, one of the meSsen-
gers. who had been sent away upon the
day when the promise was drawn from
the princess. returned. after many I'M
successful ramhles. from the borders of
Nubia. with an account that Pekuah was
in the hand of an Arab chief, who pos
|es>cd Il castle or fortress on the cXtrcm-
ity of Egypt. The Arab. whose revenue
was plumber. was willing to restore her
with her two attendants. for two humid
red ounces of gold.
The price was no subject of debate.
The princess was in ccstaSics when She
heard that her favOritc was alive. and
might so cheaply be ramsomcd. She
could not think of delaying for a
moment Pellrah'> happiness or her own,
but cntrcatcd her brother to send back
the messenger with the sum required.
ImlaC being consulted was not very con-
tidcnt of the vcracity of the rclator. and
was still more doubtful of the Arab :
faith. who might. if he were too literally
trusted, dctaiu at once the money and
the captives. He thought ii dangerous
to put themselves in the power of the
Arab, by going into his district. and
could not expect that the rover would 81
much expose himself a. to come into the
lower country. where he might be seized
| by the forces of the BaSSa.
1t is difficult to negotiate where neith-
er will trust. But Imlac, after some de-
liberation. directed the messenger to pro-
pose that Pekuah should be conducted
by ten horsemen to the monastery of ST
Antony. which is situated in the deserts
of Upper Egypt, where she should be
met by the same number, and her ransom
should be paid.
That no time might be lost, as they eX
pected that the proposal would not he
refused. they Immediately began theil
journey to the monastery: and whel
they arrived, Imlac went forward witt
the former messenger to the Arabs for
treSS. RaSSelas was DESTROYS TO 90 viii
them: but neither his sister nor lmla,
would consent. The Arab, according Il
the custom of his nation, observed thu
laws of hospitality with great eXactnes'
to those who put themselves into hi
power, and in few days brought Peku
all with her maids, by easy Journeys, t,
the place appointed. where, receiving tin
stipulated price, he restored her will
great respect to liberty and her friends
and undertook to conduct them bacl
towards Cairo, beyond all danger of rob
berry or violence
The princess and her faVorite embraced
each other with transport too violent t
be expressed, and went out together t,
pour the tears of tenderness i'm secret
and exchange professions of kindness ant
gratitude. After a few hours they re
turned into the rcfectory of the convent
where, in the presence of the prior AN,
his brethren, the prince required of PEEK
uah the history of her adventures.

Pckuoh is still remembered. The progress
Of SorrOir.
Nekayah, seeing that nothing was
omitted for the recovery of her favorite,
and having, by her promise, set her in
tcntiOn of retirement at a distance. began
imperceptibly to return to common cares
and common pleasures. She reioiced
without her own consent at the suspen-
sion of her sorrows, and sometimes
caught herself with Indignation in the
act of turning away her mind from the
remembrance of her, whom she yet re-
solved never to forget.
She then appointed certain hour of
the day for meditation on the merits and
retired constantly at the time fixed, and
returned with her eyes swollen and her
countenance clouded BY degrees she
grew less scrupulous, and suffered any
important and pressing avOcation to de
lay the tribute of daily tears. She then
yielded to less occasions; sometimes for
got what she was indeed afraid to re-
member, and at last wholly released her
self from the duty of periodical atlliction.
Her real love of Pekuah was not yet
diminished. \ thousand occurrences
brought her back to memory, and thou
sand wants. which nothing but the conf
dence of friendship can supply, made her
frequently regretted, She therefore So
licited lmlac never to deSiSt from inqui-
ry, and to leave no art of intelligence I'M
tried, that at least she might have the
comfort of knowing that She did not suf-
fer by negligence or sluggishneSS. "let

our pursuit of happiness, when we find
the state of life to be such. that happi-
ness itself is the cause of misery: Why
