There issu'thin' dreadful wrong
When a man has took ter drink:
It shows his self-respectfulness
Is out ' gear, I think ;
And honor, sense, unci decency,
Have lett a vacant pev,
Ter see w hat such a erect er
Iu his beastliness will do.
There is su'thin' dreadful wronar
When a man is seen ter go
A sneakin' inter company
Among the mean and low.
It shows he's sold his birthright
For a dreadful meagre sum.
That will bring a swarm o' sorrows
In the days und years to come.
There's a little su'thin wrong
When a man has took ter dress;
It shows his bump e' vanity
Ain't sartiu growin' less;
For true and solid manhood
Gives little time or thought
To ape the lop or dandy,
Who're a little wuss than naught.
There's a little su'thin' wrong!
When a iuiiu devotes his liuio
Ter laziness and idleness,
That is itse If a crime?
A note- o' hand, or ticket,
That bears upon it face
The great big grinuin' letters
That spell the worC- Di?(JiiAC.
It breeds a sight o' mischief.
And lots ' ci ime and sin

And drives u lively business
With idle hands and brains,
And wears a grin o' pleasure;

In the Fall of 187(1, writes a correspond
ent cf the Now York JYtic, while sitiinp
in the porch of the hotel in Santa Fe, New
Mexico, a parly of twelve hwrsetuea ap
proached. Thfeir horses were jaded and
gaunt as from a long and ditiicult journey.
The riders were dresaed in buckskin over
fchiris, cavalry punt?, heavy bootn and
large Mexican spurs. Dinuouniing at
the hotel, the horses and men were cared
for. A tall, blitn, hickoty-iron sort of a
man, who seemed to be leader, made ar
mngements aside with the landlord.
After supper, falling into conversation
with the patty, I learned, in the cuurse of
the evening, that they were a pnrly of
prospectors Pent out to the mountains ii
the northern patt of New Mexico and
Arizona, iu lite interest of a company of
St. Louid capitalists.
The captain, as he proved to Le, and
so I shall hereafter call him, waa tin celuca
ted man, and a member of the company,
and went o:j this perilous and toilsome ex
pedition to fcat'isfy a roving and restless
disposition. They had gone beyond their
intended limit at starling, and they pene
trated into the edge of the Apache country,
They had numerous fights with the Indi
ans ; but, being all old Indian fighters,
had brought all their t umber back, though,
not without some ugly scats. At one
time their whole number were taken
prisoners by a midnight surprise and
double their number of Apaches. They
were held prisonets two days, and march
ed toward the Apache chief town, where
they were to form the subject of a grand
rofsf. Lut, the second night, they escap
ed by a stratagem, taking with them the
leader of the Apache band, whom they
after released on certain conditions. This
leader is the bloodthirsty Apache chief,
the chief who murdets men, women aud
children.
The white party, before their escape,
understanding Borne of their captors' lan
guage, unknown to them, learned, from a
let fall here and there, that the In
dians had knowledge ot sumo . .ul
miti-s, which the specimens that they had
with them showed ; but, from the desulto
ry character of the remarks, could not
learti the location of the treasure, and it
was to this fact that the chief owed his
life. This chief they spared when mak
ing their escape, at which time they sent
tf.i rest of the band to their long hemes.
They promised thu chief his life and liber
ty if he would ihow thctn ths "'Golden
Mountains," and tell them the "sacred
legend of his fathers," which seemed to be
in some way associated with the Golden
Mountain. To this Le finally assented,
as the piico of his life and liberty.
The riches of the Golden Mountain are
even gteater than the extravagant stories of
the savages had led them to believe ; but
it is located in the heart of the Apache
country, and utterly inaccessible till the
Apaches are subdued. The guarding of
this Golden Mountain, the keeping of the
whites out of gold fields of absolutely ines
timable wealth hoarded and piled up in
the mountains of Arizona, is the first aud
greatest causa of the implacable hostility
of the Apaches, even greater than the sec
ond cause revenge. This cheif showed
them this wealth, guarded by the whole
Apache nation, of which Captain is
prepared to take possession, with mills and
mining apparatus, .as soon as the Apaches
are f ubdued. The chief gave them his
legend, and thej', as nun of honor even to
a captive, set him free.
'And the legend,' fays the captain,- 'it
being late, I'll give you in the morning."
'So, here's to bed. Good night '
In the morning lha captain and I walk
ed apart on the outskirts of the towr, to
a grassy knoll, and sitting tbere he rela
ted to me lha following 6lrune, weird
story.
A party of Apaches, while lying in am
bush one day in the latter partof Decem
ber, 1825, in Chihuahua, Mexico, on the
Ilio Grande, across tin liver from what
is t:ovr the towu of Fasso, Texas, watch
ing a traveling eavalcado as it passed a
clump of small trees, saw one of the num
ber spring from his horse into the denso
chapparel and dUappear from the view of
the horsemen. The cavalcade tired a few
shots at or toward him, and a half dozen
of them dismounted and pursued in the
direction he took, but of no avail. The
escaping man ran directly toward where
the Apaches lay in the bushes, and ran
into their midst. They seized and bound
him, mounted, and lashed him to a horse,
and at once took flight. They traveled
toward the Apache chief town by a cir
cuitous and concealed route, and reached
it after six days travel.
The prisoner was much alarmed at
first but, finding that his death was not
to bo immediate, he seemed to put his
mind to stud ing out sotneplan of escape;
but they kept him securely bound till they
arrived in camp. 'J hen they decided to
keep him until a grand -fete day, some
months ahead, and then put him through
the gauntlet and end his life in a grand
carnival. lie for some time was as rest
less us a captive bear, walked up and
down his small inclosure and talked to
himself incessantly. Hut before the day
arrived for his taking oil' this is the cap
tain's term, not the Indian's he had
become somewhat resigned to his captivi
ty, had learned something of the Apache
language, and gave I hem something of his
history. They got interested in him, and
promised to give him his life in return for
his solemn promise (hat he would never
attempt to escape. lie mairied the chief's
daughter, an.?, on the death of the chief,
became chief himself. He had four suns
and a daughter. The oldest son became
chief in his turn, and is the chief who is
the subject of our story.
The white chief taught them, while
among them, the fecrels of the Great
Spirit, and these secrets have enabled
them to make the Apaches the strongest
tribe in the West; to pass through the
country of the white nihil in safely every
where ; to obtain information of their en
emies and their movements always, and
from their very enemies themselves ; and,
by pass-words and signs, to know an ene
my or a friend as far as seen. They al
ways have kept and still keep one of their
educated half-breeds in the camp Of t he
whites, and, by the secrets of this g?3at
society, he is always able to keep them
informed of every movement of any kind,
and of every plan of attack on them, as
soon as that plan is known to the chiefs
of the enemy themselves. Af.i1, when
captured, they are almost always sure to
effect an escape, released by eomo mem
ber of the society among the er.r tny.
The great white chief told them that
the society extended all over the world ;
taught them all the ceremonies connected
with it; taught this maiden to mako the
badges and insignia worn by the initiated,
and on cet tain days, the 24th day of J une,
and some other?, ihey walked in pioces
sion, and held a grand dance at night
They believed him to be the son of the
Great Spirit. Ha is buried at the Gold
en Mountain, anil his grave is walled atid
covered with gold, and is their sacred
place of worship. They gather t:ow every
j ear on Iho "24th of June.
This griiat white chief told them that lie
was ':moods" (months) on his journey
from his startiiijT point : that he was taken
prisoner in l'atavia, N. Y. , and from
there taken to and confined in Fort Ni
agara, in the latter part of September of
the same year in which he came to the
Apache country.
The reason of his imprisonment vas on
account or tits goiu iu ouiuu a. bout
divulging the secrets of the gteat society.
He was kept prisoner at Furl Niagara till
September 19, when ho was taken in a
close carriage and driven, via Iiuffalo, N.
Y., to Hennepin, 111 , on the Illinois river,
and thence taken in a flat boat to the Mis
sissippi river, down which he floated to
New Orleans. There he was placed on a
vessel and sailed to the mouth of the Uio
Grande river, and proceeded up that river
on horseback to LI Paso, where the Apach
es found him. His captors intended to
give him into tiiu hands of some Jesuit
priests among the Indians, near where
they captured him. His captors passed
down through Mexico and escaped. That
great white chief was the man supposed to
have been murdered by the Masons, Wil
liam Morgan, and the subject of this
story, his son Conchise.
IltKi s a true talc of woo ; all about a
beautiful atid abandoned wife in this city.
She married a wietch who loved her
ruonej' not wisely, but too well. When
he got the money lie loved somebody else,
and departed for the 'Tolling prairies of
the mighty West." His earthly posses
sions were burnt up in the Chicago fire,
and then he carr.e back to New Yolk,
and put up at the Aslor House, without
a cent in his pocket. Kemorse seized him
(it must have been remorse), and ascer
taining the aiTdrcsa of his lawful partner,
he thus wrote her :
"I am here and penniles. Forgive
the past and come to my armi again.-"
This is what she wrote back :
"I'll come a3 soon as I can. Excuse
delay. I've gone to have a loaded head

A ILL, ABOLT HOSTS.
The following incidents of supernatural
occurrence are as far within my own per
sonal knowledge as it is possible to be
without being the actual object of the ex
traordinary interferences narrated.
There was residing, some years ago, at
ah insignificant town in the Northern
Counties, a widow lady who occupied a
small house alone with her young children.
The even calmness and self-possession of
her disposition, the absence in her of ev
erythir.g approaching nervousness or hys
teria, and her extreme good sense, would
eytiiely dissipate any suspicion of weak
ness or unusual susceptibility of mind, or
of her possessing tendencies befitting Lei,
according to popular notions, to be the
subject of any spiiitual or supernatural
revelation. Sue was sleeping, or rather
di zing in a half-unconscious stale, in bed,
with one of her childun, at night, when
sho felt her reason overpowered by an
ovei mastering influence, as though she
were seized with a lit. Immediately there
was presented to her mind a vision of ter
rible ellstinciness. She saw thrte men
struggling desperately in the w ater of sou e
deep and rapid stream, and iu all the ag
onic of the last gasp for li.'o The vision
was but momentary, but sufficient for her
to observe distinctly and v.iili minuteness
the despaii ingly distorted features of each
in a manner so vivid and impressive that
they were never ili'.ccd in all their clear
ness from her memory. On returning to
consciousness, the feeling of renlity cre
ated was so exciting that she was unable
to obtain any further rest ; but dressing
heiself, soent the remainder of the night
. r
in pasiing about the house, iu ureat per
turbation of mind, in the endeavor to re
cover from the terrifying effects of her vi
sion. When daylight boan to dawn, the
opened the shutters of a lower room look
ing on to the town street, and before clos
ing the window observed a person, whom
she reecgnizL-d, running hastily down the
stieet. He told her that just then the
bodies of three drowned tnen were being
taken out of the river adjoining the town.
Deeply allected with the coincidence, she
sought 'it'd obtained an opportunity of
viewing the corpses during the Jay. 'i hey
were those of three strangers to the vicin
ity, who, engaged in somo poaching ven
ture in the neighborhood, and being pur
sued, had plunged into the fiver, which,
small in other places, was there deep,
rapid and unfordable, and had so met with
their death. In them she recognized at
once the very faces that had been so plain
ly represented lo her mind in her vision
of the night prevtuus.
In another case, a married lady, resid
ing in u remote country disttict in Lin
colnshire, had bt stowed her charity, aud
taken a deep interest in a poor and fi land
less stranger-woman, who, advanced in
years, had seen better days, and who,
struggling with starvation, persistently re
fused to apply for, or receive, parish as
sistance. Her great fear a dread which
haunted her perpetually was that after
death she would be submitted to the in
dignity of a pauper's burial. On this
theme she continually dwelt to her bene
factor, and she extracted from her a sol
emn promise that after d?at!i she would
secure for her a deceut and respectable in
terment. The hops of obtaining a Utile present
aid for neceisities led her a short distance
away from her friend for same length of
time. During this period, in the middle
of one night, whilst the lady was passing
from her own chamber to her children's
nursery, she suddenly saw on the landing
lctvon iL two rooms, with great dis
tinctness, what she took to be the form of
her old dependant, who had for some time
escaped her memory, regarding her with
a look of most anxiduj supplication. The
reader will, of course, guess the sequel of
the story, which is, however, a veritable
fact. Whan the lady with her husband
on the following day, deeply impressed
with this circumstance, sought out the lit
tle hut in which the poor woman had been
a resident since her removal, they found the
parish assistants preptirtng her corpse for
its funeral, and the promise so singularly
exacted thus strangely obtained its fulfil
ment. There lived seme years ago in one of
the large towns in the north, a lad, who,
in his later years, was well known by
many now living. l'jginning lifa as an
errand boy in an office of large business,
his met it soon became apparent and whs
acknowledged ; and in the same ofiioc he
ventually became a partner of the firm,
he had served. 1 1 is only parent from in
fancy was his mother, left in wretched
circumstances in life, but toiling for, lov
ing with an engrossing intensity of devo
tion, and wholly wrapped in thn fortunes
of her only son. His base indifference
and disregard of her did not check, but
seemed to heighten her afTection. In her
son's prosperity, and her age, and the
great infirmity induced by her privations,
ihe was the inmnte of a public almshouse.
Hut Lore her sola thought and conversa
tion was of the son. Having at last be
came bedridden, she was visited by the
vicar of the parish one day, at a time
after she had been supposed to ba uncon
scious. He entered into conversation with
hnr, and with a flood of tears but tears
of resignation she told him that hor boy
was dead, that she had 6een it nil that
she had seen bis body drawn out of the
sea, that vory afternoon, quite dead; and
she contiuued rationally relating several
incidents of the ecece which" 6he had sup
posed she had witnessed. The u,ini;er
soothingly converged with her, but left her
in pity at the apparent derangement which
possessed her. In the morning of the fol-
lowing clay, however, he ws atoni.i.ieiI
at a vifit from friends of tho poor sufi'er
er, who wisheel him to break to her the
dreadful tidings of her son's death. He
had been drowned on the afternoon of the
previous daj-, whil.-t bathing at a water
ing place not far distant ; and on inquiry,
many of the circumstances refcrted to by
the widow in her conversation on the sub
ject were found to have actually taken
place, at the time of the recovery of the
corpse.

The tnorr.it g was clear and frosty
very frosty, indeed when a solitaiy cuss
was observed wending his way toward a
skating pond with a pair of skates under
his aim, a tear on the end of his nose,
and a clay pipe between his lips. Thai
CUss was I, you bet?
The skates that I carried under my
arm were Ligh Dutch, very high Dutch.
They bad a yard of iron turned up in
front, and looked like sleigh runners. My
great grandfather brought ihem over with
him from the home of his childhood. Ha
was a great skater. He could cut u bat
tel of sauiktaut with those skates so nat
ural that the b)Standeis were forced to
hold their noses I My grandfather tried
to cut the same and cut bis head. lie
then put the skates in the hcr.-housc loft,
nnd willed them lo my father. My lath
er was a Fcnrii-y lvania farmer. He owned
twenty acres of stouv land, two big hor
ses, a five-story barn and one-story house.
1 hat's the way with all the Pennsylvania
iarmeis. My father had never seen any
ice in his life, only what foimedin hia
rig trough duiing the winter, therefore
rkales weie of very little use: to him, anJ
he gave them to ma.
And that's their pedigree.
As I was wending tny way to the pond,
with sail skates under my arm, numerous
litt'i boys, as I passed them yelk-d as
fullu ivs :
'Halloo, skates 1 where are you goin
with that man V
I didn't mind those little boys, but
walked on lo the pond where I found nu
erous chaps and feminiue females cutting
duplex circles and American eagles. Some
were also cutting their head?,
1 put on my high Dutch ekates, ami
resolved to show the chaps how to do the
thing up brown. Arose to my feet and
fo.md the ice rather slippery one foot
wanted to go north and the other south.
Made a grand strike out with both feet,
and cut a beautiful ciic'e cn the back of
my head. Some chap picked rae up, and
I fell better, and struck out ajain ; struck
out ery f.-t, couldn't slop myself, but
kept straight ahead. It was "skafes,'
where are you goir.gwilh that m-.n:" sure'
e. tough ; and theie was a festive fern. aid
in high heeled boots coniir.g straight to
wards roe in a chain lightning manner;
Unless she got out of my road a colli.-iion
must surely take plu. e. She didn't get
out of my toad, and, oh, what a smash!
We were both going under a full head t.f
steam when we came together, and when
we were t icked up we were forty five
vards a: ;ttf.
When I was a little fellow, and went
to school, mid slid down hdl on a boatd,
I read some pieco, in some little book with
a yeilow cover, about n chap vrho tried
to do something six limes, and didn't do
something six times. Then he saw a spi
ekr try to do something seven times, and
he, the chnp, concluded he'd try once more,
lie trieil and succeeded.
The book didn't say what the chap was'
trying to do, but it said when I "got to
be a big mau l el find out."
I've got to be a big man, and I ain't
found out yet. But I've male up my
mind that he, the chap, not the spider, waa
Irjing to skate, and cut his Lead six times
before he leai ed.
When I was picked up, after niy colli
sion with ths festive female in high-heeled
boots, I remembeied this book, and this
man. and this spider ; and I said to my
self I'd be like those man and those spider,
and i'lry again 1"
Tried again and got along first-rate ;
was about coming to the conclusion that
I was a better skater than my great-grandfather
had been, or any other loan. Un
dertook to cut an Araeiican eagle and was
foicdd to sit down cu lli8 icu, aid I sat
down very hard.
I've had chairs pulled from under me
by festive eusss when I was about to take
a seat ; I've sat down in low chairs when
I thought they were high ones ; and I've
sat dv-wn in many other ways; but none
of those sit downs were anything ta lhat
sit down on "the ice, when I was tryiug to'
cut an American eagle.
In fact, it was the hardest sit down I
ever had in my life.
Concluded to be like a mnn and a spider
and try once mora. Struck out with my
high Dutch skates in a beautiful manner;
struck to the right, stiuck to the left, aud
felt hunker, J ou bet.
1 felt u proud as a little boy when an'
hduiiring neighbor tells Lira he'll be a
man before his mother.
Thought I'd cut a lifa like picture of
my Susan Jane; was confident that I could
do it, and commenced it ; accomplished
everything but her nose ; couldn t cut that
no Low, but cut my own nose in a beau
tiful way while trying to cut hers.
'Try again" was my motto, and I
tried again ; made a desperate attempt Ij
cut the probocis of my S. J. and cut a holo'
in the ice with my head and went into it.
Yes, I went in- I went heavy 1 I went in'
dry and caine out wet. -
I was pulled out after floundering there
about twenty minutes, and had no dot ire
to go in again. I Lad a desire to go home
ande'ee my mother a very strong desirJ
and I went.
I have a thirty-second cousin I'd like
to sea break his neck, and I'm gtiug t
give those skates to him
