Asleep in q Churchyard.

An old man who sleeps by the road
side yonder, and upon whose tomb are
the familiar lines beginning, "Remem-
ber me as you pass by" spent the
greater portion of the last ten years of
his life by his wife's grave. He came
in the early morning, and after remov-
ing any microscopic weed that might
have showed itself since the previous
evening, would light his pipe and sol
emnly contemplate the stones In his
vicinity He went away regularly to
his meals, and as regularly took his
afternoon nap on the grass by the
graveside.
Shortly before his last visit to the
cherished spot he requested me to de-
cipher for him the dates upon several

about many whom we had known in
life and who had passed away. / re-
marked that the churchyard was very
pretty place, and his face lighted up
as he rejoined: "Ah, mister, l always
thought should like to be buried here,
for" looking around, "you see there's
such a splendid view from here" This
was uttered in good faith, and the old
man seemed convinced that neither
coffin lid nor churchyard clods would
obstruct his view. Perhaps they don't.
In few brief weeks he came to his
favoTite haunts to stay. Poor old
William" the flowers upon your grave
have run wild long ago, and no one
seems to remember you IS they pass by.

A Horses Memory.

"Say, friend, You are on my horse,
said one gentleman to another as he
reined his horse before the door.
"Your horse! Oh, no; why, bought
this horse two years ago.
"You did?" answered the other:
"well, / lost my horse-it was stolen
just two years ago"
The Conversation took place under
the far-spreading oaks of an old-time
plantation home. A planter was sur
prised to see his horse return home
after two years, and ridden by gentle
man who evidently had bought the
horse in good faith. After some con-
versation the old owner of the horse,
with much earnestness, said: well,
sir, if you will dismount, unsaddle the
horse, and he don't go to the fence,
take the bars down, walk to the well,
and if he don't find water in the bucket
let it down the we'll, and then walk off
to his old stable, will give up, and
that horse isn't mine!" "At your word
the horse is yours if he does all that"
cried the visitor, and, leaping from the
horse, unsaddled it. What was his
astonishment when the horse went,
straight to the fence, let down the bars,
crossed over, went to the well, and.
finding no water, let the bucket down,
and then, as though he had left home
but yesterday, walked to the old sta
BILE. The animal remembered the
trick, and the owner recovered his
horse. There are those living now who
can attest to the truth of this story,
though it happened years ago. st.

from the attacks of the savages. To
protect themselves the settlers had
built Fort Henry, which was erected
on the right bank of the Ohio, short
distance above Wheeling Greek. The
entire fighting force of the village. in
Guiding the garrison of the fort, con-
sisted OF but forty-two men. Among
that number, however, were many
whose deeds of powess and skill with
the rifle had made them terrors to the
Indians. In the latter part of Sep
tember the settlement was attacked by
four huEured warriors and the villag-
ers were compelled to flee to the fort
for protection. Driven to desperation
by the sight of their homes being de-
stroyed by the savages. they made an
Iu-advised sortie, in which they were
aE but overcome, and only sixteen men
iived to return to the fort and defend
it and the helpless women and chill
dren within its walls against more than
four hundred savage redskins.
The history of those days within the
fort is a record of deeds of daring and
personal heroism, one of which is un-
paralleled in ancient or modern times !;

In their distress the garrison sent
messengers to the nearest settlements.
The response was immediate, and four
teen men from Cross Greek succeeded
in fighting their way through the sur
rounding savages and triumphantly
entering the fort. Forty mounted
men. under Captain Samuel McCul-
locb followed this first detachment to
tbe relief of the fort. Every prepara-
t;on was made by their friends inside
to assist them in their attempt to
enter. The gates were opened and
sortie was organized to cover their ad
