AN OPENING TO A MORAL.

Apropos of the recent snow block
ade, and the different methods made
use of to clear the roadways, we are
reminded of an incident which is said
to have occurred near one of the large
logging camps in the far Northwest.
The usual way of handling timber
grown in the mountain regions is to
cut q broad swath down the mountain
side, and then roll the logs down it.
This is very desirable way in winter
as the snow affords a more rapid and
easier descent.
The incident referred to was brought
about by an accidental blocking of
one of these mountain roadways by
some logs which had been piled and
tangled up in snow drift, thus stop
ping their transit, which had been
started by the men at the top.
Two of the loggers, one an Irishman
and the other colored brother, start
ed to the place of obstruction, which,
after some difficulty they reached, and
began unravelling the ENHANCEMENT,
when a noise was heard coming from
above and behind them.
The colored brother looking up and
seeing what it was, suddenly exclaim-
ed &: Fur de lands sake, jes see dat
big hickory cummin'down claringr'
And, sure enough, an immense hickory
IN all
at the top of the mountain and came
rolling down the way, breaking
through the drifts and clearing away
obstacles by the force of its own mo-
mentum. Striking the obstruction
at which the Irishman and the col
ored brother were engaged, it's pro-
gress was, for the moment somewhat
arrested, but not entirely so, for hav-
ing bounded over the impeachment, it
more slowly, continued its descent.
The colored brother seemed irritated
at the way that hickory had advanced,
the rapidity of it's action and the easy
way in which it had overcome the OBJ
stacle which had proved something
of puzzle to him. He began pre-
pairing himself to stop its further pro-
gress, gesticulatiDg and soliloquizing,
he said:
II sees yer, sees yer! Yuse done
gone taken thur sponsibility on 20
own SET and yer thunk yuse gwine
ter opin dis hyar rode jas as yer d
please! No yer don't, my honey, no
yer don't; yuse gwine tn tuck struck
shuns froum this hyar niger, yer isr,
Aud with that he jumped out in
front of the rolling hickory, drew
back and gave it d kick with his boot,
but that only slued it around in a
more direct line of descent. He then
jumped upon it and pushed and
tugged and pulled, but the hickory
rolled on, and he, still holding fast to
it, rolled with it. First he rolled ever
the log and then the log rolled over
him, but both kept going.
This WAS too mich for the Irish
mans visibility and lis keen sense
ofhumor, to with tad, - he called out:
'Hould on t~it haga hould on!
Begorra, yez halt The tonne on topr'
The colored brother appeared to
take this advice for a time, but finally
concluded it would be wiser to let go,
which he did, and pretty much dis
figured, he limped away muttering
Use allns bin tole dat dem hickery's
