Damon and Pythias.

History is full Of noble friendships ;
of sacrifices one man has made for
another; OF the constancy between
great men and women. Probably
none of these famous friendships are
as familiar as that of the story of Da-
mon and Pythias. 1t has been so oft
repeated and go strongly emphasized
upon the mind, that the two names to-
day stand as synonym for two per-
sons who are drawn closely together
either through business or social re-
lations.
Damon and Pythias were prominent
residents of ancient Syracuse. The
former being condemned to death by
Dionysius the Tyrant, of Syracuse,
he begged for the privilege OF visiting

Judge Snorerass Dead.

Morgan county lost one of its best
and most progressive citizens when
Thomas G. Snorgrass died last Satur-
day night. He was not only one of
our best but one OF our oldest citizens,
having lived here about all his life.
He was the kind Of man that kept
up with the times and was always
identified with every move for the
betterment of conditions in the coun-
ty where he lived. He owned a
fine farm in the north part of this
county where could always be found
the best blooded stock and the most
up to date poultry, in fact the prizes
the Judge has taken would attract
attention any where. Tom Snorgrass,
as we knew him, was the kind of a
man that always wanted to be doing
something for some one else, and
when he was in town he could nearly
always be found in the evening with
a large number of his friends, for
whom he was trying to do something
that would make time pass pleasantly
foi them. We were always glad to
see him around for his generous and
pleasant disposition attracted every
one to him. He had alway been
closely identified and taken mos,
active part in politics, being Demo.
crat of the old kind, and people al
ways knew where to find him. HI
was an old confederate, and proud o
it, but as loyal to his country as any
body after the war was over. Two
years ago Mr.. Snorgrass was elected
: as county judge from the easterl
district and was a member of tn
county court at the time Of his death
$ being a candidate, for. reelection i
y. November. Last Saturday evening
he was calling at a relatives house

until his friend and neighbor, Pythias,
also man of family, volunteered to
take Damon's place in prison as
pledge for his return, and on the con-
dition that il he failed, Pythias should
suffer in his stead.
At the appointed time Damon failed
in appearing, and the tyrant had the
curiousity to visit Pythias in prison.
tWhat fool you was." said he. "to
rely on Damon's promise. How
could you imagine that he would sac
rifice his life Tor you or for any manf"
"My Lord" said Pythias, with
firm voice and noble aspect, 81 would
suffer thousand deaths rather than
my friend should fail in any article of
honor. He cannot fail. I am conf
dent of his virtue, as am Of my own
existence. But beseech the gods to
preserve his life. Oppose him, ye
winds. Dsappoint his eagerness, and
suffer him not to arrive till my death
has saved life of much greater con-
sequence than mine, necessary to his
lovely wife, to his little innocents, TO
his friends, to his country. Oh! let
me not die the cruelest OF deaths in
that of my Damon"
Dionysius was confounded, and
awed with the magnanimity OF these
sentiments. He wished to speak; he
hesitated; he looked down, and re-
tired in silence. The fatal day ar
rived. Pythias was brought forth,
and with an air of satisfaction walked
to the place of execution. He ascend.
ed the scaHold, and addressed the
people.
my prayers are heard; the gods
J., are propitious the ~intS have been
contrary. Damon could not conquer
n impossibilities; he will be here tomor
\ row, and my blood shall ransom that
e of my friend"
4 As he pronounced these words, a
G buzz arose, distant voice was heard I;
G the crowd caught the words, and
: "Stop, stop, executioners was re-
peated by every person. A man
: came at full speed. In the same in
q slant he was off his horse, on the scai-
q fold and in the arms of Pythias.
"You are safe he cried, "you are
n safe, my friend. The gods be
praised, you are SAFE"
a Pale and half speeches. in the
4 arms of his Damon, Pythias replied
e in broken accents:
Fatal haste; cruel impatience.
What envious powers have wrought
impossibilities against your friend
but l will not be wholly disappointed.
Since l cannot die to save you. l will
die to accompany YOU"
II Dionysius heard and beheld with
astonishment. His eyes were opened
" his heart was touched; and he could
no longer resist the power OF virtue
He descended from his throne, and
ascended the scaHold. "Live, live,
ye incompatible pair. Ye have dem
onstrated the existence of virtue, and
consequently OF God who rewards
; it. Live happy, live revered; and as
n you have invited me by your example,

: A number of ancient writer's have
u introduced the story of Damon and
i Pythias into various of their works,
i most notable among which were Cic-
: ero in his Di Officiis, and Valerius
r Maximus, a writer of historical anec-
: dotes. In these classics there is some
deviation in the story. In one ol
