The Brave Horseman of the Conemaugh.

As come the lightning's angry fash,
Or simoon's devastating blast,
Or cyclones fearful, deadly crash,
Death-dealing all
So came the food from Conemaugh's crest
With dreadful thrall.
Within the depths of Conemaugh's lake,
Kept by lordliDgs for pleasures sake);
Ten thousand demons held in check
Waiting the hour
That should their prison letters break
And free their power.
The hour came with lightning fash,
And like the bloodhound freed from leash,
Ten thousand death-bolts forth did rush
From Conemsugh's portals
Overwhelming in one mighty crash
Ten thousand mortals.
Along the path of Conemaugh's food,
In happy, trusting quietude,
Ten thousand peaceful hearth-stones stood
No fear Of harm.
Sheltered, the precious household brood
BY parent arm.
The mighty wave kept on its way,
With power no mortal arm could stav;
Doing its fell work that fateful day
In one short hour
The old and young alike 10 slay--
With deadly power.
In one short hour FIVE thousand fell,
How many more no tongue can tell;
A startled world still heeds the knell--
OF deaths black pail,
While stricken hearts with sorrows swell
We're brothers all.
When deaths dread presence hovers near,
And many hearts are stilld with fear,
Great souls arise TO do and dare
Mid dangers rife,
Who sinking self, for others care
In saving life.
Among the brave of deathless fame,
Was one who bore an unknown name;
"Flyl fly" he cried, as on he came
On reeking steed,
On, on his course, as meteor fame;
o, glorious deed.
oily TO the hills, O fy," he cried,
ely for your lives from the coming tide"
For others lives this hero died
Not for his own.
On, on, he sped on his arful ride
To the great unknown.
To certain death, but intent TO save
His fellow man from a wstery grave
This hero died, as die the brave
And now, ! ken,
Hath eternal life. for the life he gave.
"Amen," "Amen."

The Remark able find Of Two Young
Men i'm M,--Uusi
On Saturday, April ~, James McCalsn,
u nan resloing ON Walnut creek,
near Index, MO was squirrel hunting.
Noticing his dog barhiDg furiously, he
went for ware. The object of the dogs
attention was an enormous bl~acksnake,
which, when killed. measured IA feel and
inches.
The reptile stood perfectly erect for
about four feet of it's length, and seemed
unable to move the Middle part of its
body at all.
Although somewhat abashed by the
formidable appearance of the reptile, says
the ST. Louis Republican, Jim was not
slow to observe that 1t could not move
from the spot where its body seemed
bound to the earth, 30 he picked up a
stout club and striking the monster sew
eral blows upon its head, which it was
weaving about in the air, soon dis
patched IL.
He was again astonished when, at.
tempting to raise the monster up on his
stick, he was unable to lift ii from the
ground.
About that time he saw q neighbor on
the road. Calling upon him for assist
ance, they cut the snake open 1T the
place where the immense weight was To-
Gated.
They tosk from its body a. old boot
eg thonged together at each end, and
containing something so heavy they could
scarcely lift 1t. Great was their surprise
and 10y wAeA, upon cutting open toe
bootleg, IL was found TO DE Tiled with
gold cOins from 81 up to so.
The only pisu ,IDie explanation is this
Ii ls well kaewa 10y parties living here
that during the late war a party VI bush
w~hackers buried q bootleg fuli oil gold
somewhere On Walnut creek.
The monster was found near u small
ravinc, where IL Is supposed the sold
was washed out OF its hiding place aid
found 10y the snake. Besides, not being
able to i'm ,gine how ne swallowed IL, W.

which is the dinner hour, the family as

which do duty for chairs In the center
ia a bowl OF rice and another Of curry.
Each one takes a handful of rice in turn,
dips il in the curry and conveys 1T to HE

this gracefully is the height Of Malay
table etiquette.
After all have finished the bette box

sirih caves, which are five inches long
