A Man's a Man for a' That.
"A man's n man," snys Robert Burns,
"For a' that and ' that j"
But though the song bo clear and strong,
It lacks n note for n' that.
Tlip loot who'd shirk his dally work,
Yet claim his wages and n' that,
Or beg, when he might earn his bread,
Is not a man for n' that.
If nil who dine on homely faro
Wero true and bravo, and a' that,
And none whoso garb was "hodden gray,"
Was fool and knave and n' that,
The vice and crime that sharno our time
Would fade and fall and a' that,
And ploughmen bo as good as klugs,
And churls as earls ror ft' that.
You see yon brawny, blustering sot,
. Who swaggors, swcnrs.aud a' that,
And thlnkB, because his Btrong rlghtnrm
Might fell an ox and a' that,
That lie's aa noblo, man for man,
As duko or lord, and a' that!
He's but a brute, beyond dispute,
And no( a man for a' that.
A man may own a large estate,
Hnvo pnlncc, park, and a' that,
And not for birth, but honest worth,
Be thrico a man for a' Hint j
And Donald herding on the mnlr,
Who beats his wlfo, and a' that,
Be nothing but a rascal boor,
Nor half a man for ' that.
It conies to this, dear Itobert Burns
The truth Is old, and i' that,
"The rank Is but tho guinea stamp,
The man's the gold, for r' that."
And though you'd put the minted mark
On copper, brass, and a' that
Tho lie Is gross, tho cheat la plain,
And will not pass for a' that.
For a' that, and a' Hint,
'Tlssoul and heart and n' that,
That makes the klug a gentleman,
And not his crown und ii' that.
Aud man with man, If rich or poor,
Tho best Is he, for a' that.
Who stands erect In self-respect,
And acts tho man for n' that

THE RENEGADE'S DOOM.
A Story of Colorado.
A storm .mil meed all dav: tho bel
lowing blast carrying with it dirt and
lino particles of sand, until tho cloud
was not only blinding;, but till it was
next to imposslblo for a human being
to venturo from under cover without
having tho very flesh lacerated ornecl-
cd from his bones. Tonts lay scattered
and rent in every direction, aud even
some of tho "dobio" quarters had been
leveled with their mother earth. In
deed, Fort Sedgwick presented much
such an appearance as might have been
expected had a band of Sioux Indians
mado a successful assault upon tho
placo.
As tho darkness caino on tho wind
ccabed tosomo oxtont.and then a stead v
storm set in, almost as terrible as was
tho saud-tempest of tho day. It was
densely dark, aud this darkness was
favorable to tho movements ofa savago
band, who hnd lurked in a shallow ra
vino behind tho bluiTs, back about two
mllca from tho Platto river.
Tho bugles at tho fort had just sound
ed tho tattoo and taps, when ono of tho
band referred to aroso from his nros-
trato position; and as ho did so, gavo
vent to a coarso and mocking laugh.
Immediately after, a sinnll light shot
up. Ho had ignited a match for tho
purpose of lighting his pipe; and tho
brief ilaino, as ho protected It from tho
wind with his fur cap, revealed his fea
tures. Ho was hideous in tho oxtreme:
and, although painted liko a savago, it
was easy loran experienced eyo to de
tect the fact that ho was not ono. Then
his voico and words woroanother proof:
for turning around ho spoko thus:
"Men, yon will understand that our
work must bo quickly performed. At
tho first alarm thoso whom I havo des
ignated will dash into tho quarter-muster'.-),
the sutler's and tho commissary's
I have business nt tho commander's
quarters; and this I shall perform alono.
I shall bo successful; und If you are not
equally so, tho fault will bo your own-
not mine. In all cases of this kind you
must rcsolvo that you will succeed or
dlo, and then you will never know tho
meaning of failure. Como, and bo cau
tious!" Somo twenty or thirty dark forms
were seen to arise as If out of tho ground
and then they silently took their way
down tho bluffs toward tho fort. Soon,
howover,thoband separated, and ovcry
ono of tho number proceeded onward
singly. Thoso who had received their
instructions from tho master-spirit sim
ply contented themselves with gaining
certain positions, and avoiding ovcry
sentinel. Not so with tho leader.
When this person had arrived with
in a hundred yards of tho hospital ho
paused and stood 6liently surveying tho
camp. Horo and thoro wero dim lights,
but barracks and tonts gonorally wero
wrapped in gloom. After a tlmo tho
man muttered:
"Everything favors mo to night, and
I feel liko a tigor. Oh, shnll I succeed?
If I do not, deitth will bo tho only
thing which will prevent mo. Do I
love that girl? I scarcely know. I havo
strango feelings when Iu her presence
Something of tho past comes up beforo
me; but tlio recollection Is liko a dim
dream. I am puzzled. Many is lha
tlmo I hnvo felt an inclination to spring
upon her, oven as tho tiger would upon
tho young fawn, and rend hor Into
pieces; and then I havo felt again as
though I must hold her to my breast,
and weep. Curses upon It what is
this? Hang mo if I don't think that a
tear drop has already Htartcd from my
eyes and dampened my cheek. Pshaw !
Mad Leon tho Renegade weep! Pre
posterous. It Is only a melted Ice-drop
molted by lis contact with my warm
cheek. But never shall my heart bo
molted."
Slowly did thorcnegado now advance,
mid as ho approached tho hospital ho
crouched lower and lower, until ho ac
tually crawled upon his holly liko n.spr
pent, Now ho reached tho building,
and then ho clung closely to Its walls,
still retaining his prostrate position.
It was hut a moment after that a
footfall was heard, anil a guard passed
tho villain, who was not discovered,
Tho soldier was closely wrapped in his
great cont, while ho carried his carhiuo
In such n manner as to protect It from
tho damp. Ho did not dream oven that
uciun was novcring so near him. A
moment lifter, ho turned, and then
paused oxaolly at tho placo whoro tho
ronrgado was lying. But quick ns tho
ngiiuung's flash ho was hulled to thn
earth and tho dark monster was upon his
breast. A sharp cry arose; and then it
iH'camo a ucutn wall, merging into a
moan and silence, for a huco knlfo was
plunged into tho quivering breast of
tne guaru, and liN lifo gushed foith
with ills crimson goro.
Tho murderer had clutched tho throat
of Ills victim In order to prevent an out
cry from tho dying man, ond had only
partially succeeded. Ho nowralsod his
head and listened attentively, but no
sound gavo Indication that tho voico of
tho soldier had attracted attention.
Rulslng tho corpse In his arms, tho ren
egade horo him somo distance to tho
rear and deposited him In tho dead
weeds. Doing so, ho exclaimed :
"A good general always Icavos an
opening for retreat in easo of defeat,
and I will do so by disposing of every
guard In this direction. There is but
ono moro to deal with, 1 think, nnd ho
Is behind tho qunrters of tho general
commanding."
Mod Leon crept forward ns before,
and soon the soldier referred to Bliared
thosamofato as tho first; but his cry
was louder, und was not entirely un

his ardent feelings. At all events, tho
parting on lier sitlo, was not so affection

pressed with tho belief that sho onlv
kept him as n stand-by, iu n default of
a better offer. "I don't believe." Stiles
would say, with a despondent hhoko of

boon out a few months, and had met
with fair success, Stiles, tono was modi
fled. Tho bunion of his monologuo
changed to, "Well I don't know but

With a thousand barrels of oil under

"Chauco is pretty good for Ann Jones."
ho would sny : "Pretty good now." At

a self satisfied manner, and soliloquised
"I guess there's no danger but that

a two-brick wall. In this stablo was a
horso belonging to Mr. John Hender

havo coiled Itself round the horse, for
