GOING DOWN DILL.
"That looks bad," exclaimed Far
mer White, withan expresalveshake
of the head, as ho passed a neglected
garden and broken down fence in One
of his daily walks.
"Bad enough," was the reply of his
companion.
"Neighbor Thompson appears to be
runningdown hill very fast, I can re
member when everything around his
place was trim and tidy.
••He always app eared to be steady.
and industrious ,
rejoined the speak
er. "I have a pair of boots °army
feet at this moment of his make, and
they have done me good service."
"I have generally employed -hini
for myself and family." was the reply
"and I must confess that he is a good
workman; but nevertheless, I believe
I shall step into Jacob Smith's this
morning and order a pair of boots, of
which I stand in need. I always
make It a rule never to patronize any
man who appears to be running be
hindhand. There is generally some
risk in helping those who won't help
themselves."
"Ver . ) , true, and as may wife desired
me to look at a pair of shoes for her
this morning, I will follow your ex
ample and cull upon Smith. He is
no great favorite of mine, however—
an idle, quarrelsome fellow."
"And yet he seems to be getting
along in the world," answered the
arpner, "and I am willing to give
him a lift. But I have an errand at
the buthher's. I will not detain you."
At thebutcher'sthey met the neigh
bor who was the subject of their pre
vious •conversation. lie 'certainly
presented a rathershabby appearance,
and In his choice of meat there was
the observation of Farmer White.
iiiterasasing remarks, the poor shoe
maker took his tiepartirre, and the
butcher opened his account book with
au anxious air, saying as he charged
the bit of meat :
"1 believe it is time neighbor
Thompson and I came to a settle
ment. Short accounts make long
friends."
"No time to lose. i should say,"
replied the farmer.
"Indeed! bkve you heard of any
trouble, neighbor White?" •
"No, I have heard nothing, but a
Man has the use of his eyes, you un
derstand, and I never trust any one
with money who is evidently going
down hill." •
"Quite right; and 1 will send in
my bill this ,evening. I have only
delayed on account of the sickness the
poor man has had in his family all
winter. I suppose ho must have run
behind a little, but still 1 must take
care of number'one."
"Speaking of Thompson, are you?"
observed• a bystander, who appeared
to take an interest in the conversa
tion. "Going down hill, is he? I
must look out for myself, then. He
owes me quite a snug sum for leather.
I. did intend to give him - another
Month's credit, but on the whole 1
guess the money will be safer in my
own pocket."
Here the four worthies separated,
each with his mind filled with the
affairs of neighbor Thompson, the
probability that he was going down
hill, and the best way was to give
him a push.
In another part of the village sim
ilar scenes were passing.
"I declare," exclaimed Mrs. Ben
neit, the dressmaker, to a favorite as
sistant, as she hastily withdreW her
head from the window, whence she
had iven gazing on the passers-by.
"If there Is not Mrs. Thompson, the
shoemaker's wife,coming up the steps
with a parcel in her hand. She wants
me to do her work, but I think it '
would be a venture. Every ono says
they are running down hill, and it is
a chance If ever I get my pay."
"She has always paid us prompt
ly," was the reply. •
"True; bu t that was in the days of
her prosperity. I cannot afford to
run any risk."
The entrance of , Mrs Thompson
prevented any further conversation.
She was evidently' surprised at the
refusal of Mrs Bennett to do any work
for her, but as great 'pressure of bust
! MKS was pleaded as an excuse, there
was nothing to be said, and she soon
took her leave. Another application
proved equally unsuccessful. It was
strange how busy the village dress
makers had suddenly become.
On the way home, the poor shirr:-
maker's wife met the teacher of a
small school in the neighborhood,
where two of her children attended.
"Ah, Mrs. Thompson, I run glad
to see you," was the salutation. "I
was about (Ailing at your house.
Would It be convelent to settle our
account this afternoon?" •
"Our account!" was the suprlsed
reply. "Surely the term has not yet
expired ?"--
"Only half of it, but my present
rule is to collect my money at any
time. It is a plan which many
teachers have adopted of late."
"I was not aware that there had
been any change in your rubs, and I
have made arangements to meet your.
'bill at.the usual time. I War that it
will not be In my power to do so
sooner.". -
The countenance of the teacher
showed great disappointment, and as
she passed on Ina different direction,
he muttered to himself:
"Just as I expected; I shall never
see a cent. Everybody stye they are
going downhill. I must get ride of
the children some way. Perhaps I
may get a pair of shoes or two in
payment of the half quarter, if I
manage It, right; but it will never do
to go on in this way."
A little discomposed by her Inter
view with the teacher Mrs. Thomp
son stepped Into a neighborin g g=
eery to pulthase some &Wing
of family atoms.
"I have a little account against you;
would itbe convelent for Mr. Thoniro
son to settle this evening? asked the
Faille shopkeeper, as he protluccti the
desired article.
"Is It ids usual time for settling?"
was again the surprised Inquiry.
"Well, not exactly : but money is
very tight Just now, and I am anx
'kous to get all that id. due me. In
future I intend to keep short accounts.
There is the little bill, if you would
like to look at,: I will call around this
evening. It is but a small affair."
Thirty dollars is not small to us Just
now," thought Mrs.Thompsoi4s she
pursued her way towards home, mu
singly. "It seems strange all these
isiyments must be met Just, now,
while we are strugling- to recover
from the expenses of the winter. I
cannot understand iti"
-
Her perplexity was increased by
finding her husband with two bills
In hie hand and a countenance ex-
pressive of anxiety and concern.
"Look, Mary," he said, as he en
tered, "hero are two unexpected calls
for money—one,from the doctor, and
the other from the dealer in leather,
from whom I purchased my last
stair. They are both very. urgent
for immediate payment,: although
they have always been willing to'

"The butcher's account, us I live!"
exclaimed the astonished shoemaker.
"What is to be done, Mary? So

the acknowledg

still further on the downward path."
"We must do our best and trust in ,
Provideum," was the consoling re- '
mark of his wife, as a sewed knock
tit the doorarote:ed the fear that an
other
claimant was about to appear.
But the benevolent countenance of
Uncle Joshua, a fare but very wel
' come visitor, presented itself. field
ing himself lit the comfortable chair,
which Mary hastened to hand him,
he said in his eccentric, but friendly
manner:
"Well, good folks, I understand
the world does not goon as well with
you as formerly. What Is the trou
ble?"
"There need be no trouble," was
the reply, "if men would not try to
add to the afflictions which the Al
mighty sees to be neee•Bary for us.
The winter was a trying one. We
met with lickness and misfortune,
which we endeavored to bear with
patience. All would now go well if
those around me were not determin
ed to push as in the downward path.
"But them lies the difficulty, friend
Thomiston. This is a selfish world.
Everybody, or at least a great major
ity, care only for number one. If
they see a poor neighbor going down
hill, their first thought is whether it

pmvided they um secure themselves,

"A miracle which is very easily

friend. What is the amount of your

upon you, and how soon in the com
ing course of events could you dis
charge them ?"
"They do not exceed one hundred

It was generally agreed that a dis

It was In the early days of Nevada

high and steep about Carson, Eagle
and Wasboe valleys—very high and

off some fine morning and deposited
down in the valley, leaving a vast,
treeless, unsightly scar upon the
mountain's front to keep the circum

years that you may. go on living
within seventy miles of that place.
General Buncombe was shipped
out to Nevada in the invoice of Ter-
ritorial officers, to be United States
Attorney.. He considered himself a
lawyer of parts, and he very much
wanted an opportunity to manifest
it—partly for the pure gratification
of it and partly be e cause e his salary
was tertitoriall.magr (which
strong expressi y on). Now the older
citizens of a new territory took upon
the rest of the world with scalm, en
'
malignant contempt as long as it
keeps out of the way—when it gets
in the way they snub it. Sometimes
this latter takes the shape of a prac
tical Joke.
One Morning Dick Sides rode furi
ously up to . General Buncombe's
door in Carson City, and rushed into
his pnssence without stopping to tie
his horse. Jle seemed much excited.

him to defend a suit for him and he

I thing of it; and 'furthermore, it was
known that his ranch was situated
just in the edge of the valley, and
that Tom Morgan owned a rajich
immediately above it on the moun
tain aide. And now the trouble was
that one of those hated land slides
had come and slid Morgan's ranch,
fences, cabins, cattle, barns and
everything down on top of kis ranch,
and exactly covered up every single
vestige of his property to a depth of
alxiut six' feet. Morgan was In pea-'

Never in all the world, perhaps,
were a mean's feelings so outraged as
.were the Geneares. He said he had
never heard of such high-handed
conduct in all his life as Morgue's.
And he said there .was no use In
going to law—Morgan had no shadow
of right to remain where he was—
nobody lathe wide world would up
hold him in it, and no lawyer would
take his case and no Judge listen to it.
Sides said that, theme he was mis-
taken—everybody in the town sus

Morgan -, Hal Bryton; a very
smart lawyer, had taken his case ;
the courts beingin vacation, it was
to be tried before a referee, ex-Gov.
Roop had already been appointed 'to
that office, and would open his evert
in the largest parlor of the Grimsby
House at two that afternoon. .
The innocent General was amazed.
lie said he had suspected before that
the people of that Territory were
fools, and now he knew it. Itut he
said rest easy, rest eel and collect
the witnesses, for the victory was
Just as certain as if the conflict were
already over. Sides wiped away his
tears and left.
At two in the afternoon Referee
Roop's court opened, and that re•
morsels% old Joker appeared throncsi
among his sheriffs, his witnesses and
a 'packed'Jury, and wearing upon
his face a fradulent solomuity so awe
inspiring that some of his fellow con
spirators had misgivings that maybe
he did not comprehend, after all, that
this was merely a Joke. An un
earthly
stillness prevailed, for at the
slightest noise the Judge uttered
sternly the confirmed :
'Order in the Court !'
And the Sheriffs promptly echoed
it. Presently the General elbowed
his way through the crowd of spec
tators, with his arm full of law
books, and on his ears fell an order
from the Judge which was the first
respectful recognition of his high of
ficial dignity that had ever saluted
him, and It saturated his whole sys

The Cincinati Diquirrr of the 17th
lust. says: Yesterday our Hiss -lei tel
egnuns announced theend of a weary
life, in stating that Thexiore, eldest
son of Henry Clay, had died in the
Lexington Lunatic Asylum after a
long confinement. The record of his
blasted life in brief is this:
At thirty yeas of age Theodore
Clay was a promising lawyer. Ito
was the image and the hope of the
statesman whose risme was on every
tongue. It is true that there were
whispers of wild living, and of indif
ferent morals, that somewhat tinged
his fair repute, and even darkened
his future prospects. Still it was
hoped that these were but the result
of youth, anti would be cast aside
when cirtmnistances called upon the
matured man to assert himself and
make his talent felt in thee:immuni
ty.
It was at this turning point In his
life that Theodore Clay began to pur

whom he had long loved hopelessly.
The object of his attachment, who is

he would not be refused, and follow
ed her in the streets by day, and
wandered in the nelgoborhood of her
home by night, in an annoying man
ner, until at / last it became evident
that he "was; not all there," to use
the soft phrase by . which a kindly
peasantry express insanity. Subse
quent violent demonstrations tended
to confirm the impression, it being
event related that he went to the
house of Mr.—and - demanded his
daughter at the pistol's point, until
at last'the wretched truth could no
longer bss ignored, teal confinement
in the asylum became a necessity.
This was accordingly done (la 18:12,
we believe;) his father providing for
his support at that •tlme, and leaving
ten thousand dollars In his will, the
blame from which was secured to
Theodore for life. That life, after,
thirty-eight years of imprisonment ,
In what in the earlier days of hiscon
fincusent he wasi,Went to call "a good
boarding house, but having some of
the biggest fools heover saw as board
ers," has just closed. For nearly
thirty years he was one of the mast
noted inmates, not only his proud
dment,dbut his graceful manners
and How of conversation rendering
I him ad object of Interest to all vial
' nati on
thato under the hall .1-
nation he was George Wash g
ie
lorunch-nonda—
ri i n a s tt f i7u n ge of of a Vie urn L n it of
his Country. At the occasional lla
given to the inmates (averaging
souse five hundred In number) he
was always exquisitly dressed in the
style of his day, and was the bent
par excellence.. During all these long
years, despite his general gentleness
and cheerfulness of manner, he was' ,
restless and discontented, and requir
ed very close watching, it never, in
fact, having been considered prudent
to allow him to go out into the
grounds without attendants. About
the year 1860 his condition' began to
grow worse, and he soon after be
came demented, continuing in hope
less idiocy until a few days since,
when Death, greater healer than
Time placed him again upon an
equality with the peers of his early
manhood who - had gone before him
to the God that created him and did
with him according to His Inscruta
ble will. And so ends as sad a story
as the truth of history ever comman
ded to be written.
