With other of our frlnniU tlilnlr inn
good to bo lost, and theroforo request
Us publication in tho lleglster. Wo
givoit with tho typographical peculiar
lty of that day: Ex.
Hall, wedded love 1 tho hard thy beauty halls.
iuo mix u.ai limes, with cock and hen-like
fparrlugs;
But calms are very pleafant niter gales,
nu uove-iiKe peace much Tweeter alter war
rings. I've rend, but I've forgot the nose, indeed.
But folks may find It if they choofo to read
i nat marriago is too tuett without some four j
" Variety olt recommends n Jlow'r.
'Wedlock fhould be like iunc fomo fwect,
lome aciu;
Then life Is nicely turbulent and fifacid.
John marries Jane; they frowned they fmtled
Now parted, and now had a child :
Now tepll fhow'rs of loves now chilling fnows
Much like the feafbni of tho year;
Or like a brook now thick, now clear :
Now fearce a rill, and now a torrent flsws.
One day thoy had a defperato quarrel
About a little small-beer barrel.
Wtthout John's knowledgo nightly tapp'd by
jane;
For Jane to obllgo her old friend Hodge,
Tho't asking leave of John was fudge :
And fo wifely let tho leave nloue.
It happen'd that John and Jane had not two
beds,
To reft their angry, frowning brace of hcada;
l.rgo they had but one
To reft their gentle Jaws upon.
I'll havo a board between us." cry'd the man
"With nil my fplrlt, John," reply'd the wife.
A board was plac'd, according to their plan :
j.hus ended this barrier, at once, tho f trlfc.
On the ttrft night the hufband lay
Calm as a clock, nor onco wink'd over.
Calm as a clock, too, let mo fay,
Jano never fqulntcd on her lover.
Two, three, four nights, the fulky pair,
Like two full mice, devoid of care.
In phllofophlc fllenco fought rcpofe.
On the fifth morn, It chanced to plcafo
John's nofe to fuccze,
"God bless you, dear!" quoth Jane at John's
loud nolle :
At this John gave a fudden fbirt,
And popping o'er the Hedge his head
Jane, did you fay It from your heart r'
"Yes, John I dirt Indeed, Indeed I"
You d(d7" "Yes, John, upon my word I"
Zounds, Jano I then tako away the board ."'
Pulling Hard Against tho Stream.
In the world I'vo gained my knowledgo
And for It havo had to pay,
Though I never went to college,
Yet I've heard that poets say,
Life Is like a mighty river.
Rolling on from day to day,
Men are vessels launeh'd upon It,
Sometimes wrcck'd and cast away.
Chorus.
So then do your best for one another.
Making 11 fo a pleasant dream,
Help a worn nud weary brother,
I'ulllng hard against tho stream.
Many a bright, good hearted fellow.
Many n noble-minded man,
Finds himself iu water shallow,
Then assist him If you can ;
gorno Fucccod at every iurnlnjj,
Fortune favors every scheme.
Others too, tho' inoro deserving,
Have to pull against the stream.
If tho wind Is In your favor,
And you've weather'd cv'ry squall,
Think or thoso who luckless labor,
Neuer get fair winds at all.
Working hard, contented, willing,
Struggling through life's ocean wide.
Not a friend and not a shilling,
Pulling hard against the tide.
Don't give way to foolish sorrow,
Let this keep you lugood cheer,
Brighter days may como to-moirow
If you try and persevere.
Darkest nights will huve a morning,
Though the sky he overcast.
Longest lunesmust havo a turning,
And the tide will turn at last.

LEGEND OF THE FATAL EING.
A GERMAN BTOIIY.
Wo woro thrco friends Ferdinand
W , a celebrated lawyer ; Auer-
bach, tho court physician and myself.
Having no particular calllDg, I spent
most of my time in reading tho various
publications that issued from tho Ger
man press. I became of opinion that
thero was hardly ono that mado an of
foit to rnlso tho public tasto. With tho
intention of fulfilling, in a moro ef
fectual manner, tho duties required of a
journal, my friends and I established a
periodical. Whether wo over realized
our fond hopes, is not for mo to say.
Ferdinand was to coutributu tho learned
leaves, A tier bach tho elegant, and I,
who could not boast of either learning
or cleganco, to attend to tho minor de
partments. Wo had our meetings as our more ad
vanced eotomporaries. As soon as my
companions had finished their profes
sional avocations ono In distractiug
tho minds of his clients, whilo tho oth
or performed tho samo charitable) func
tions to their bodies thoy usually met
at my housej and with our tobacco
pipes, and over our glass of good Rho
nUh wine, wo mado our criticisms.
Ono evening, when Fcrdlnatid was
moro than usually lato, and had wea
ried our pntienco waiting, wo resolved
tocommcnco proceedings without hint.
Tho two nowest publications lay on tho
table FteMenker, a fitvorito German
periodical, Woehentliehe Zeituny, then

I sclzetl Die U'ochentlicJie.Zeltwig. Tho
first few pages contained an unfavora
ble review of n story lu tho Fteldenker,
called tho "Gray Room." I read it
with pleasure, as this very subject had
been tho causo of moro than ono dlsputo
botwecn me and my friend Aucrbuch;
and I now hoped, with this ally, to
shako his firm-rooted belief in tho ap
pearance of spirits. I commenced with
tho remark, 'That of ull tho periodicals

But,' said I 'who can bellovo tho non-

Only account, then, for all that is re

'I never mot with any one,' said I,
who had himself seen u spirit; and
though, as you say, I havo ovory confl
uence in Gualfrcdo, still ho doc3 not
say that Gertrude over appeared to
hlin. It seems from tho wholo tenor of
tho story, to havo been related to him:
neither does ho plcdgo himself for its
veracity, except in tho negativo way of
repeating tho story. 'Now, bo honest,'
I continued, 'havo you over spoken faco
to faco, with any ono who saw a spirit?'
Ho remained silent for n timo; and
at last, having taken a turn up and
down tho room, and drawna wliliTfrom
his pipe, and a sip from his gias3, ho
turned full upon mo, and said, 'I have
seen a spirit. Mind, I don't pass for a

ten, for it mado a chaugo in mo that I
havo never recovered. And, strango
enough, tho room with which it was
connected was called tho 'black cham

of ghost stories, I must confess that as
wo wero then sitting in tho dim twi
light itr that still summer cveningjWith
tho shadows lengthening through tho
deep recesses of tho window, my com
panion's enthusiastic nature quite car
ried mo with him; and with rapt atten
tion, and au undefined feeling of pleas
ure mingled witli fear, I prepared to
hear tho horrors of tho 'black chamber'
which I now relate in his own words.
I had concluded my university edu
cation, and to finish my studies ln med
icine, became, for somo years, tho in
door pupil of the famous Dr. W ,
who at that timo was In Blenheim. My
progress in my profession was so great,
that In a few years my old master mado
over a number of his rcmoto country
patlo'its to my care; his advanced ago
rendered it imposslblo for him to take
long Journeys. Ono oveulng I was Iia3.
tily summoned to tho country residence
or tlio Count Albrccht Von gllbcrstein,
who had lately returned from Italy,
with his second wife, a beautirul young
heiress whom ho had just married; his
first, it was said, had died in Milan, on
ly n row months beroro tho second mar
riage. It was, however, to attend the
Count's sister that I was .summoned;
sho was dying or nervous rover- I could
render but little assistance, ns I saw
sho was beyond earthly help. But I
ordered somo sedatives and loft written
directions, to be followed tlllmy return
next day. I was preparing to take
leave, when tho Count rushed in, and
begged of me, as I valued his friend
ship, not to leavo tho houso that night.
ITo was devotedly attached to his sister
and, as I had no particular engagement
I consented to remain. Tho Lady Von
Silbcrstein gavo orders to have a room
prepared for me, and begged mo to tako
rest whilo iny patient slept, as she
know tho Count would requiro my at
tendance tho moment tho Lady Theresa
awoko. Saying this, sho wished mo
good night and left the room.
When left alono, I could not help re
flecting on tho aspect or that gloomy
castlo, with its dark, heavy towers,
frowning, as if in anger with its In
mates. It had not even a cheerful pros
pect, situated as it was, in a barren flat
country, moro llko tho stronghold of a
tribe of banditti than what ono wouhlox
pecttoseoas thodwelllngora nobleman.
Tho Interior was not ono whit moro in
viting or cheerful. Tho room I was in
was fearrully sombro; it was a long nar
row chamber, only hair lighted by tho
small loop-holo windows; tho furniture
and drapery old and faded.
What could havo induced tho Count
ess to marry that man, thought I sho
so young and lovely, ho co dark and
gloomy. I also noticed, during tlio short
timo 1 saw them together, u shadow
pass over her whenover her husband
addressed her, ludicatlvo of moro fear
or tllsllko than Iovo. In tho midst of
my reflections I was Interrupted by tho
servant, announcing that my apartment
was ready. Conducted to it, 1 found It
ovon moro dismal than that which I
had just left. It was spacious; tho old
fashioned hoavy doors wero or massive
oak; the tables wero covered with dark
cloth; tho hangings and curtains wero
black as ebony, as was also all tho
wood-work in tho room. I lighted two
pairs or candles to chaso tho gloom; but
It was llko tho moro Illumination or n
vault, tho narrow circles' or radlanco
only maklug thodarkness moro visible.
I sat down at n small tablo near tho
fire, nnd placed my candles upon It, to
impart somo air of comfort to my black
palace hut oven that failed. I had de
termined at onco to wrlto down tlio
particulars of tho caso I was attending
and get to bed. Iinust incnUon.Uint ono
particular of Dr. W 's was, that
each or his pupils should glvo him Iu
writing, it most circumstantial account
ot ovory caso they attended; to accom
plish this now, and resign niyscir lo
sleep, was all iny deslrb.
I bad Just finished my medical tceh
nlcalltltles, Mlien I was called to attend
Lady Theresa; sho had uwakoncd much
woree, and tho Count6ont to beg that I
would go to hor without delay. I
dressed, and hastened after my attend
ant. SVo arrived, through various
wludliig passages, at tlio chamber or
tho young lady. Nover shall I forget
tho 8ccno that thero presented Itself,
No ono could doubt tho Count's affec
tion for his sister; yet now ho seemed
to bo perfectly unconscious of her bodi
ly sufferings, and only stood near her
bod to listen with cagcrnoss to tho
words sho occasionally uttered. Sho
herself, wretched creature, was Bitting
upright, staring as if her oyes would
start from their sockets. I npproachod
her; sho turned from mo, sheltering
herself besldo hor brother, and pointing
wildly at mo sho whlsperod
'Did he sco It?' 'Did ho hear it cry?'
'Did lioseo tho ring?'
I sought to calm her, having often
seen pcoplo affected by visions In simi
lar circumstances, but thero was no
quieting hor. Sho sprang from hor bed
and clung to her brother, still uttering
Incoherent sentences till nt length sho
cried out
'I feel its llttlo arms; there thero
It Is climbing to mo to savo It. I can
not boar tho glaro of Its oyo. I cannot
daro not touch It. That ratal ring.'
Then, exhausted, sho fell senseless on
tho floor. I palled tho Count to assist
mo in replacing her In bed; but whon 1
looked round ho w.a? leaning against
tho wall, palo and motionless.
I rang tho boll violently. As footsteps
approached, ho started. 'For heaven's
sake,' cried ho, 'let no mortal enter
hero.'
I must havo assistance,' I said.
'I can do anything you require,' ro
plied he, making nn effort that I saw
cost him a great deal. But his will
seemed, nevertheless, so strong, that
when ho walked to tho door and gave
somo orders, to ttccount for tho bell
having been rung, I looked in aston
ishment. Turning to mo ho said:
'Doctor, it Is so strango and fearful to
hear tho ravings of delirium. How in
variably thoy lead tho poor sufferer to
Imaglno scenes thoy never witnessed.
A medical man or great eminence told
mo that this was always tho caso.'
After a short interval, Lady Theresa
rovlved; but no longer in her former
stato or excitoraent. Slio lay quiet,
witli her eyes closed. 1 tried to smooth
her pillow, and batho her hands. On a
sudden sho looked up, with u bright
smile, and said softly, two or threo
times, 'Rudolph.' Then wandering
among scenes arar off, gently roll asleep
and from that passed into tho sleep from
which thero is no awakng.
I turned to tho Count and said :
'Lady Theresa Is doad.'
'Dead I' ho cried; 'dead; sho cannot,
sho must not die, and leavo me. I had
but her in tho world; sho would not
leave mo alono.'
'It Is no use,' said I, drawing him
from tho body.
Sobbing llko a child, ho caught her
beautiful golden tresses, In a vain at
tempt to sovcr a lock; but his tromb-
ling fingers rcmsod their ofllco, and
again sinking beside her lifeless body,
her fair hair covering him as n vail, ho
lay motionless. Much as I disliked tho
Count, this outburst or genuino feeling
completely overcame mo, and with
tears I looked at tho heait-broken man,
all his hardness and repulsivenoss quite
forgotten. Ho seemed as ir clinging to
tho ralr angel whoso bright spirit had
fled.
After somo little timo ho recovered
himself, and rose to leavo tho room. I
was only too glad to follow. I felt sick
at heart. Tho wretched death-bed that
I witnessed, and tho feeling of dislike
I had felt to the Count, combined to
make mo long for a quiet hour In my
own room.
Wo de.-cended to the saloon; the
Count, making somo apology that ho
had letters to write, left mo. I hasten
ed back to my own chamber, but uot to
sleep. I piled wood on tho file, and
sat down in a largo chair opposlto to it,
recalling minutely every word that
Lady Theresa had uttered, I could
think of nothing else what could havo
befallen that young girl? That sho
was implicated in somo dark deed thero
could bo no doubt; tho awml visions
that haunted her wero not tho raving
fancies of delirium. Her brother ho
too shared her secret. I had a dim rec
ollection or a talo that I had heard
when a child, o! somo heavy curse
which hung over tho Count's house.
Ono or his ancestors had treated his
wire with cruelty.and sho on herdeath
bed left their weddlug-ring, with a bit
ter curso attached to It, and that It
should cling to tho r.tmily till a dead
brido claimed n husband with it; hut
what could that poor girl havo to do
with a child and a ring? It was all mys
tery, and the Incoherent story furnish
ed little solution to tho problem. I
thought again and again of all that I
had over heard about Lady Theresa,
but that was not much. Sho was very
youug, had latterly not appeared
ubroad lu tho world. Somo said her
engagement to an o Ulcer had been sud
denly broken oil; others that sho had
become ascetic. Bo this as it may, sho
certainly shunned all tocicty, oven her
sister's; her only companion was her
brother.
I tried to turn my thoughts into oth
er channels, but to no purpose. I felt a
great wish to seo her again, and yield
ing to tlio temptation, crept back to her
room and gazed onco moro on thoso
features which had mado so deep an
impression upon me. AU was hushed ;
every thing hod been arranged. Morn
ing had Just dawned, nud tho grey light
streamed through tho open casement.
I turned to look on tho beautirul crea
tttro beforo me. Thero sho lay In tho
stillness or death; a srallo Ecemcd to
rest upon her features. It may bo that
tho recollection of somo happy hour of
childhood had visited her weary spirit
beforo It went fortli on Its solitaryjour
noy. I felt 1 was polluting a sanctuary
by harboring for a moment tho thought
that she could bo Implicated Iu any
crlino, nnd pressing a kiss on her cold
cheek, I took away ono ol her bright
curls.
Tho next day Lady Theresa was bur
led. Tho Count asked mo to btay that
night, which I gladly did, as I was
worn out with my vigil of tho night
before. Just ns 1 was about to consign
myself to rest 1 was interrupted by tho
J agcr, who knocked nt my door to In
qulrolf I hud any commands. Ho was
a lively, pleasant fellow, and inclined
to bo communicative. Wo sat talking
fora whilo, when ho roso to leavo tho
room, ho looked around with u shudder

and asked, 'If I felt lonely, or would
wish him to remain all night.'
I smiled at tho idea, for ho seemed
really afraid; and although I did not
think tho placo cheerful, yet I had no
fear. I was as Bkeptlcal then as you
aro now. My talkatlvo companion ro-
latcd many stories connected with tho
chamber, to which I eagerly listened,
In hopes I might find a cluo to Lady
Theresa's ravings, but all weto connect
ed with events that had occurrod years
beforo. However Inclined I might havo
boon to havo kopt thl3 youu man with
mo, I now determined to placo no ob
staclo to my spending a night in a haunt
ed chamber. Tho very idoa gavo mo a
thrill ol pleasure. I loft no portion of
my apartment unscarched, so that I
could not by possibility bo played up
on. I secured tho door nnd tho win
dows,and having mado all my arrange
monls with tho view orpracticaliy over
throwing tlio theory or apparitions, I
wont to bed, nnd much sooner than I
oxpected foil asleep.
After somo timo I was aroused by
hearing a sound liko the dropping of a
heavy weight, as It fell step by stop. I
could uot account for tho nolso, for it
seemed to proceed from tho other sido
of tho wall, which I know was an out
sido wall, and thero was neither room
nor stairs beyond. I looked around,
but.all was dark. Thinking I must
havo been mistakon, I sottlod to sleep
again, when tho sound was repeated
even moro distinctly than before. I
began now, Indeed, to feel nervous,und
sat up. A slight wind, llko a breath,
passed over me, but still I saw nothing.
I strained my eyes as though I could
penetrate tho darkness.
Tho sound had greatly increased, yet
I was conscious thero was something,bo
it mortal or spirit, in tho room with
mo. After watching with a beating
heart, I argued myself into tho idea
that tho noiso must havo been at tho
other side of tho Insido wall, and, that
it was occasioned by somo of the ser
vants, who had perhaps been up lato,
and so, turniug on my side, tried again
to compose myself. I had not been
settled many minutes, however, when
I perceived a faint light, coming from
the samo direction ln which I had heard
tho sound. I looked up, when, to my
horror, I saw a tall remalo flguro ad
vancing steadily towards me. Sho had
long black hair, falling over her shoul
ders, and her drapery was pure as snow.
Sho stood still in theceutreof the room,
gazing about her. I was paralyzed with
terror. I held my breath, dreading to
make tho least movement, least I should
attract her attention, but I could not
lor ouo moment wiliiuraw my eyes
rroiu tlio figure. At last It perceived
me, Tor it hastily advanced towards mo
aud extending its long icy arm, seized
my hand.

Sick linker's Cat.
BY MARK TWAIN.
Speaking of sagacity reminds mo of
Dick Baker, pocket-miner of Dead
horso Gulch. Whenover ho was out of
luck and a llttlo downhearted, ho would
fall to mourning over tho loss of a won
derful cat ho used to own (for where
women nnd children aro not, men or
kindly impulses tako up with pets, ror
they must love something.) And ho
always spoke of the straugo sagacity of
that eat, with the nlrof a man who bo
lieved in Ills secret heart that thero was
somcthlug human about it may bo
oven supernatural.
I heard him talking about this ani
mal once. Ho said, "Gentlemen, I
used to havo a cat hero by tho namo of
Tom Quartz, which you'd a took an in
terest in, I reckon most anybody
would. I had him hero 8 year and ho
was tlio rcmarkablest cat I over see.
Ho was a largo gray, ono of tho Tom
specie, and ho had moro real nat'ral
sense than any man in this camp and
tv power of dignity ho wouldn't let the
Guv'nor of California bo familiar with
him. Ho nover kctched a rat in his
liro 'poared to be abovo It. Ho tiever
cared for anything but mining. Ho
knowed moro about mining, that cat
did, than any man I over see. Yon
couldn't tell him nothing about placer
diggings and as for pocket mining,
why ho was just born for it. Ho would
dig out after mo aud Jim when wo
went over (ho hills prospecting, and ho
would trot along behind us for as much
an fivo mile. IT wo wont so Air. And
ho had tho beat judgment about mining'
ground why you never eeo anything
llko It. When wo went to work he'd
scatter a glnuco around, nnd If he didn't
think much of it, hu'd sorter look
as to say, 'well, I'll havo
to got you to oxcuso mo,' and without
auothcr word ho'd hysto his noso in tho
air and shovo for home. But if the
ground suited him ho would lay low
and keep dark till the last pan was
woshed,and then ho would slldoupand
take a look, nud if there was about six
or seven grains of gold ho was satisfied
ho didn't want no better prospect'n
than that and thou ho would lay down
on our coats and snoro llko a steamboat
till wo'd struck tho pocket, and then
get up and superintend.
Well, by and by, up comes this quartz
excitement. Everybody was Into It
ovoryhody was picking nnd blasting
Instead of shoveling dirt on tho hlllsldo
everybody was putting down a shaft
instead or scraping tho surface. Noth
ing would do Jim hut wo must tacklo
tho ledges, too, and so wo did. Wo
commenced putting down a shaft, and
Tom Quartz, ho began to wonder what
in tho dickens It was nil about. Ho
hadn't seen any minlug llko that before,
and ho was all upset, us you may say
ho couldn't como to a right understand
ing or It no way It was too many ror
htm. Ho was down on it, too, you bet
you ho was down on it powerful aud
always appoarod to consider It tho cus
sodest foolishness out. But that cat,
you know, ho was always nglu new
langleil arrangements somehow, ho
nover could abldo 'cm. You know how
It is with old habits. But by and by

ln tho shaft hlssclf to trytoclnhcr It
out. And when he'd cot tho blues, nnd
feel kind o' scuffy, aggravated and dis
gustedknowing as ho did, that tho
bills were running up all tho timo and
ho wasn't making n cent ho would
curl up on a gunny sack iu the corner
and go to sloop. Well, ono day when
the shaft was down about eight reet, tho
rock got so hard that wo had to put ln
a blast tho first blasting wo had over
done slnco Tom Quartz was born. And
then wo lit the fuse and clumb up nnd
dumb up and got off about fifty yards,
and forgot and left Tom Quartz fitst
asleep on tho gunny sack. In about n
in I mi (o wo seen a puff or smoko bust
up out or tho holo, and then everything
let go with nn awml crash, and about
four million tons or rooks and dirt nud
smoko and splinters shot up about a
mile Into tlio air, and by Gcorgo, right
ln tho midst or It wa3 old Tom Quart,
going end over ond, aud a snorting and
sneezing, and n clawing, nnd a reaching
for things liko nil possessed. But It
warn't no use, you know, it warn't no
uso. And that was tho last wo seo of
him for about two minutes and a half,
and then all of n sudden it began to
rain rocks and rubbage, and directly ho
camo down kcr whop about ton reet off
rrom whero wo stood. Well, I reckon
ho was p'rhaps tho orncrlest looking
beast you over sec. Ono ear was 60'
back on his neck, and his tail was stove
up, and his oyo whiskers was singed off
aud ho was all blacked up with powdo
and smoke, and all sloppy with mud
and slush from ono end to tho other.
Well, sir, It warn't no uso to try to
apologize wo couldn't say a word. He
then took a sort of disgusted look at
hisself, and then looked at us and it
was just exactly tho samo as if he had
said : 'Gents, may bo you think It's
smart to take advantage of a cat that
ain't had no experienco at quartz min
ing, but I think different,' and thru ho
turned on his heel and marched off
homo without ever saying unother
word.
That was jcat his stylo. And maybe
you won't bellovo it ; but after that you
nover sco a cat so prejudiced agin quartz
mining as what ho was. And by and
by, whon ho did get lo going down the
shaft again, you'd been astonished at
his sagacity. Tho minute we'd touch
off a blast and tho fuse'd begin to sizzlo
he'd give a look as much as to say,
'Well, I'll havo to get you to oxcuso
me,' and it was surprising tho way ho'd
shin out of that hole and go for a tree.
Sagacity I It ain't no namo for it.
'Twas inspiration !"
I said, "Well, Mr. Baker, his preju
dice against quartz mining was romark
anle, concerning how ho camo by it.
Couldn't you over cure him of it?"
"Curo him I No. When Tom Quartz
was sot once, ho was always sot, and
you miglit a blowed him up a3 much as
threo million times and you'd nover a
broke him of his cussed prejudices agin
quartz mining."
Tho affection and prldo that lit up
Baker's face when ho delivered this
tribute to tho firmness of Ills humble
friend of other days, will always bo a
vivid memory with me.
