As I was going to Derby,
Upon a market day,
I spied the biggest ram, sir,
Hiat ev er.vt as fed on hay.
Tow de row do row,
T ovv de row do ro.
lie had four feet to walk, sir,
Ho had futir feet to stand,
And every foot he had, sir,
Covered nu:o';reot laud.
Tow, Ac.
Tho wool upon hU baok, sir,
It reaches to tho bky,
And eagles build their nests there,
Vot I heatd their young ones cry.
Tow, 4c.
Tho wool upon hli tall, sir,
I heard tho weaver say,
Made three thousand yards of cloth,
For ho wore It all In a day.
Tow,
The horns upon this ram, sir,
They reached up to the moon,

Death ucmnniied a sacrifice. A grave.
yard luid to be started in Custer City. No
one had volunteered to die and no ruffian
had offered a sacrifice. Fnto led Charley
Holt and John Pickett across tho plains
from Sioux City, and hopo and ambition
led them to "drive'their stakes" upon the
southern slope in tho suburbs of Custer,
I'oor boys! they were not yet men. and thei
combined fortune and earthly etlects would
not reach fivo dollara in valuo. They se
lected a town lot upon a grassy knoll, clos
to a small grove of straight, tall, pines, aud
being unable to chop largo, logs or buy
lumber with which to construct a habitation
dug a cave. These bovs made their deadfall
eight feet square, covered it with pine brush
propped this up with eight small poles,thrcvv
on bcveral tons of earth, and went to bed
to drenm of home, of mother, of father and
of tho fortune they, in their boyish iinagi
nations, had already carved out of these
golden realm". When morning came (March
!id) n sud sight was revealed to tho young
man who went to tho dug-out to borrow
bhovt'l. Tho angel of death had been there
in thu night und had buried the sleeping
boys nlive. A faint, piteous voice, beneath
this living grave broko tho icy stillness o
the frosty morning, crying out, "In (iod'i
name, pull mo out I I am dying," The
boy who had como to borrow u shovel tied
in horror from the fulnl spot, calling loudly
for help, which camo from all directions,
from filty cabins in tho gulch. A dozen
yeoman arms delved down and tore away tho
cruel earth which had already clasped nnd
claimed one of these boys us its own, am!
which had hugged and pressed in its icy cm
brace, for eight long hours, tho struggling
survivor. Tho story told by tho mangle
and mutilated youth is a brief one. H
told it to mo wliilo gasping in agony aud
pain, stretched upon a couch of pine boughs
on tho hillside.
"Wo finished our 'dug-out' yesterday, and
I weut down to beg for work or flour. W

buried, but had ono hand free, with which
pulled away tho dirt nnd brush and got air.
Then all was dark again, and after awhile
I woko up. I could beo the utars and th
moon, uud I heard Charlie calling for mo to
help him. I tried to move, but tho dirt
camo tumbling In on ray face, so I quit,
Ihen Charlie said, "Johnny, I am dying
writo to my mother." I called out "Chnrli
I can't get out; God help youj wo must

I know, sir, till just now. Is Cliarllo
dead ?"
Yes, Cliarllo was dead I His crushed and
mangled body was dragged out of tho debris
a few minutes afterward, and borne down
the lillUldo to a duortod uoldier" cabin on
Ctisler ntreet, and laid out upon u plank
Inced upon two log".
Then camo tho Intiuest tho fust held In tho
l!lnck Hills. It vvns a queer noetic. There
stood the City Marshal, n tall, rough, hon
est man, with bronzed-brown faco and tear
tainrd eyes, a pair of navies on hlahlps.but
gentlo ns a lamb in tho faco of death llko
this.
The Coroner, a miner with grizzled benrd
and hard grimy hands, (stood by tho body
itli n book in hi hand. Two doctors, just
arrived that morning from l'lntto county,
Mo., looking more llko tramps thni pro-
ssionals, stood by. A reporter, a Jewish
otliing dealer, n saloon keeper, a lawyer
mil two miners constituted tho Jury, which
sat Itself upon a log which Insisted upon
tiling over every two minutes. Tho in-
pti'st was brief, tho reporter organized tho
ury, swore them in, elicited the evidence,
mail's the verdict, and founded tho first of-
niiil archive lor tho city. Tho verdict was
accidental death frum suffocation," that
was all, nnd material was ready with which
to start a graveyard in Custer.
Then camo humane hands and kind heart?,
and dressed the unfortunnto stranger.
Charles Fnhey found a white shirt, tho only
ono in tho city, a sheet was converted into a
shroud, nnd Charley Holt soon lny in n
rough pine box upon a bier of logs. This
ns not all, a firo was built in tho comer of
int black, deserted cabin. The roof opened
to allow tho smoke to escape, nnd then a
half dozen noble men sat and watched un
til day-light. They wero bound to start a
graveyard. With the rising of the buii came
adies yes, l.ldies ; kind-hearted pioneers
ho had woven n wreath of pine twigs,
inter ivy, pine cones and four little frag
ments of whito tarletan and pieces of the
black silk strings of Mrs. Dorfmcud's bon
net. This wreath was laid reverentially
pen tho unpaintcd pine box ; it was all
thc-o fivo iioblc-hearled wninaii could do,
nil do it well. Hut still the graveyard win
not inaugurated. Here was a corpse neatly
shrouded, wreathed and confined and no
raveyaid j but a silo for :t city graveyard
as found a natural cemeteiy already
lanted with groves of trees, and laid out
by nature into broad, irregular avenues, all
sodded aud half green. Cascades, orna
mented with glittering lilies, lent their ttiil
to tho frosted evergreen folingo and snow
hito grotto of quartz to beautify the nevv-
y-selecteu site for tho city of tho dead. A
half-dozen brawny athletes, with pick and
hovel, toic open tho virgin soil, and made
the grave. They wero generous, sextons,
theso amateurs, and sunk a hole like unto a
mining shaft. It was at least twelve feet
long this gravo for the half-grown boy.
But the trouble was only half over. Who
would act as parson ? There is no preacher
in Custer, and a two hours canvass of tho
ity failed to find a professor of religion
among iiuu people, worso than mat, a
close search failed to find a proper book.
The Mayor, an honest man, appealed to one
of tho two lawyers in the city to "say a
few words at the gravc,to be Christian-like,
but such pleading was not in his line; so
the three doctors wero applied to, but with
ike success. Then came a committee of
Judge, Mayor and Marshal to the reporter.
Surely a "paper man" knew something about
fuuerals ; and, said the Mayor, "we want to
put the lad away a kind o' christian-likc ;
not like a dog." Decides, a graveyard had
to be started.
Then camo Mis Ida Simms, like an angel
of goodness, with a small gilt-edged Bible,
the only one in the city, nnd the funeral
cortege moved through the main street of
tho "city." It was a picturesque scene on
this bright, sunny day. A wagon contain
ing tho unpaintcd coffin, upon which lay the
Indies' cvergreenvv reath. Then tho Mayor,
Judge, Councilinen and Marshal, rough blue
shirted men in miner's and slouch hats. A
dozen or two miners, merchaiitsand hunters
brought up the rear, and tho procession
moved silently on,
Then n shallowgrave on the billside,sunk,
ad ono of the amateur bextona said, "clar
down to tho bed-rock, gentleman, down
vvhar tho dirt shows good color." feilcnily
the body was taken from tho wngon and
tenderly laid in the golden earth upon the
bed-rock. Then every head was bared and
every bronzed countenance bowed whilo one
or two selections of Scripture wero read. Tho
grave was soon tilled and a white pine head
stone set in tho eaith, and thus the city of
Custer inaugurated its graveyard.
The saddest point about tills affecting- in
cident is yet to bo. mentioned. No letters,
papers, or even tho slightest cluo to his homo
or friends have been found. All that is
known is that ho walked all tho way from
Sioux Citv to tho Black Hills to dio and
start a graveyard.
How Sun Manaued It. "Is my hat
done'" inquired a lndy at a Chicago milli
nery establishment one day.
"Yes, ma'am," politely responded the
bhopwuman, "will bo here in a moment."
A.U assistant soon brought up the bonnet,
and wliilo tho customer wai duly inspect
ing it, tho storo proprietor ventured tu in
quire ;
"How do you liko it, ma'am?"
"It's simply horrid," was tho reply.
"But it is just as you ordered it," pleadod
tho maker of headvvenr.
"Yes, something as I ordered," was tho
short and sneering answer.
"I am really borry, but"
"Well, novcr mitid," broke in tho buyer,
with bet lips, "what's tho expenso?"
"A-b-o-u-t J7, I guess," said tho shopwo.
man, timidly.
The money was paid over and tho bonnet
ordered up to her house, when tho purchaser
pranced out upon tho street and immediate.
jy exclaimed to an accompanying lady
friend :
"Isn't it perfectly lovely?"
"Ys," replied tho friend, "it's ravishing,
but how could you talk so to that woman?"
"Talk bo?" exclaimed sho of the new bon
net, "why, if I had let her know how much
I liked the hat, that bhopwomau would cer
tainly have charged fifteen dollars, but now,
you see, I've got it for seven l"
Tho other woman said sho had never
thought of that, but wouloMprofit by her
friend's ripo expericuco, aud never liko an
article again until after she had bought it.
"Suppose," said Mr. Adolphus Slapsldo,
our village school teacher, addressing thu

three boys and riding tho gato off its hinges.
Ho went in with the crowd when tho bell

him to keep still, nnd he replied that ho
wouldn't come to that school if his musical
qualifications wero to be overlooked. When
school finally opened the teacher secured
his name and began asking him questions
in order to find out how lie should bo grad

"What kind of spelling?" ho cautiously
replied.
"Spell house, please."
"l'Vamo or brick house ?" ho asked.
"Any kind of a house."
"With a mortgage on it?"
"You may spell man. if you will," sho
said, giving a severo look.

"Yes."
"I don't caro much about spelling man

"I'm afraid it will disturb the children,"

asked :
"Richard, how many aro three aud

" I'hreo and threo of what?" ho inquired.

"It's a good deal according to what it is,"

"Did you ever ftudy geography, Rich

"What is geography?"

"Is the world round or flat?"

"Can you write your name?"
"I could, I s'poso; but I'ye got my name

"Can you write a letter?"

"Yes, I could, if I had money to pay the

"Well, Richard," she said in despair,
"you'll have to go into the lower room if you

"I'd rutber stay here."
"But you can't."

She took him by the arm to remove him,
but hu laid his hand on her shoulder and

"Don't get mo mad now, or I'lljlet myself

Tho principal walked in and shut tho

"I'll get tho foreman of No. G to pound

A small boy, with a very sharp nose,

Ho finally entered, and leaning over tho

"If you was a boy, you knuw, aud I was a

Jlvstcriom Sounds.
Perhaps the most familiar of mysterious
sounds nro thoo produced by tho ventrilo
quist j familiar because almost every county
fair is visited by one or more of these exhib
itors: mysterious becauso the real sourco nf
sound does not correspond with the apparent.
It lies within tho province of the anatomist
or physiologist to explain why It is that
some men can speak from the stomach in
stead of from tho throat, anil without any
perceptiblo movement of the lips; but the
person who can do thi, the ventriloquist,
may make himself n most bewildering de
ceiver of those who listen to him. Our pow
er of determining the exact direction whence
a sound comes is less than wo Usually imag
ine. It is said thatSaville Carey, who could
well imitate the whistling of tho wind.would
sometimes amuse himself by exerting this
art iua public coffee house j some of the
guests at once roso to see whether tho win
dows wero quite closed, while others would
button up their coats, as if cold.
Sir David Brewster notices a vontnloqulst
of exceptional skill, M. St. Oille, who ono
day entered a church where some monks
wero lamenting tho death of a brother.
Suddenly they heard a voice, as if from over
their heads, bewailing tho condition of the
departed in purgatory, and reproaching them
for their want of zeal. Not suspecting the
trick.they fell on their faces and chanted the
lie J'round!t.
A committee appointed by tho Academie
des Sciences to report on tho phenomena of
ventriloquism went with M. St. Gille to the
house of a lady, to whom they announced
that they had como to investigate a case of
aerial "spirits" somewhere in the neighbor
hood. During the interview she heard wlia
she tertned "spirit voices" above her head,
underneath tho floor, and in distant parts of
tlio room, and was with difficulty convinced
that tho only spirit present was tho ventrilo
quist'te voice of 31. St. Oille.
Brewster tell of another master of this art,
Louis Brabant, valet de chainbro to Francis
I., whose suit was rejected by the parents of
a beautiful and well-dowered girl with whom
ho was in love. Ho called on the mother
after the death of the father, again to urge
his suit ; and while ho was present Bhe heard
the voice of her deceased husband express
ing remorse for having rejected Louis Bra
bant, and conjuring her to givn her immedi
ate coiv-cut to tho betrothal. Frightened
mil alarmed, she consented. Brabant.deem-
ing it deoirable to behave liberally in tho
marriage arrangements, but having not much
cash at command, resolved to try whether
his ventriloquism would bo as efficacious
with a money-lending banker as it bad been
with the widow. Calling on the old usurer
at Lyons, he managed that the conversation
should titan upon the subject of demons,
spectres and purgatory. Suddenly was
heard tho voice of the usurer's father, com
plaining of the horrible sufferings he was
onduring in purgatory, and saying there was
no way of obtaining alleviation except by
the usurer advancing money to the visitor
for the sake of ransoming Christians from
tho bauds of tlio Turks. The usurer was
terrified, but too much iu love with his gold
to yield at once. Brabant went tho next
day and resumed tho conversation, when
shortly wero heard the voices of a host of
dead relations, all telling tho same terrible
story, and all pointing out the only way of
obtaining relief. The usurer could resist no
longer; ho placed 10,000 crowns in the
hands of ;the unsuspected) veutriloquist.who,
of course, forgot to pay it over for tho ran
som of Christians either in Turkey or any
where else. When the usurer learned after.
ward bow he had been duped, he died of
vexatiou. Chumltr'i Journal.

day with tho presentation ot tho Italian
Minister, and repaired at the proper hour,
in tho costume of ceremony, to the palace,
whero he found his Italian colleague, also

entation took placo in due form, and the
Jlinistcrs, having been bidden to dinner,
were informed by tho Prime Minister that
tho Duchebs of Kent, tho Queen's mother,
desired them to join her in a game of whist.
"I nm sorry for either of you who may bo

ess, "for I know very little nbout the game."
As they passed along, Mr. Everett turned
to his diplomatic companion and said, with
lofty urbanity, "I also must entreat your
Excellency's forbearance if you should have
the misfortune to be allotted to me as a part
ner, for I bavo very little practice In the
game." Hie Italian excellency uoweu cour
teously, nnd gravely assured the American
3Iinister that tho necessity for forbearance
was mutual, for ho also had little acquaint

ed her guests with all ceremony, and having
indicated who was to be her partner, the
three dignified personages who were not very
familiar with whist seated themselves, and
the gutuo was about to begin, when a lady
of honor placed herself by tho chair of tho
Duchess, who graciously remarked lo her
companions, "Your Excellencies will excuse

madam," replied tho agent, "ho should, on
tho average, survivo eleven years, threo
months and blxteen days." "That," said tho
visitor, "would bo to tho 1st of August,

"Well," bald tho youug woman, "I think,

with a burst of confidence, "I lovo Herbert,

in, and given a dozen papers of seed, and
told to "forgive and forget."
"Six papers of onion-seed to pay for th
choking," ho said, as he buttoned his over
coat.
They were given him, and wheu stowed
away he remarked :
"Six papers of cusumber-seed to pay fbl
four kicks."
After somo argument these were hauded
him, and at he backed out of doors, said :
"It's all right I You've acted like man
about it, and if you want any vegetables
next fall I'll make a discount to you." De

Patuick IIknky. Henry had already
received the name of the "JIan of the Peo
ple." Ho sprung from what may bo called
the middle class, and his personal appcar-
anco was plain, almost humble. During his
early manhood ho was noted for idleness
and failure in all that he undertook. Ho
failed twico as a small country merchant,
giving his timo and attention to hunting,
fishing, and playing the violin, instead of
his business ; aud as a last resort, read law
for six weeks, barely received a license to
practice, and seemed destined to starve il lit
tle more rapidly even iu hU new profession
than iu trade. Tho moment was near, how
ever, when bis wonderful powers were to re
veal themselves. The clergy of the colony
who were not a popular class brought
suit to recover their wilaiics, resting their
claims on a royal order iu council, which
was in direct opposition to au act of the Bur
gesses, and Henry was employed to oppose
them, though the law was completely in
their favor. The result was remarkable.
The awkward youth rose to speak in tho
midst of derisive smiles from the clergy, who
were present in great numbers. His head
hung down, and his voico faltered. But
soon nn astonishing transformation took
placo in bis appearance. The head roso
erect, tho voice grew vibrating and imperi
ous, and he denounced king, clergy, and
Parliament iu terms so violent and over
whelming that he was interrupted by cries
of "Treason !" and tho parsons left the court
houso in bitter indignation. Henry's tri
umph was complete. He had played upon
the chords of the popular heart with the
hand of a master. Tlio jury decided in his
favor in opposition to all law ; aud the crowd
yielding to passionate admiration caught tho
young orator up on their shoulders, and boro
him, in tho midst of shouts and outcries,
around tho yard of the court-house.
Henry's next public appearance was in
the debate on the Stamp Act in the House
of Burgesses We havo seen him on that
occasion i ise iu tho midst of the crowd of
planters, and break dim u all opposition by
ills immense eloquence. He had thus car
riid with him the tirl men of Virginia, as
he had carried with hint the rustic crowd
when ho spoke ngnir.st lite p.trnoiis. Ho w as
thenceforward tho mouth-piece and leader of
tho extremo revolutionists, and his own fiery
pirit pervaded the wholu fabric vf society,
moulding public sentiment and spurring the
people to resolute resistance. Joint Ettm
