Forever the sun Is ponrinir Its gold
On a hundred worlds that beg and borrow;
His warmth he squanders on summits cold.
His wealth on the homes of want and sorrow.
To withhold his largeness of precious light
Is to bury himself in eternal night.
To give
Is to live.
The flower shines not for Itself at all.
Its joy is the .joy it frcfcly diffuses ;
Of beauty and balm It Is prodigal.
And It lives in the light it freely loses.
No choice for the rose but glory or gloom, '
To exhale or smother, to wither or bloom.
To der y

The seas lend silvery rays n the land.
The land its sapphire streams to the ocean ;
The heart sends blood to the brain of command.
The brain to the heart Its liirhtning motion ;

The niobt of the 7th of October shall I
ever forget its pitchy darkness, the roar of
the autumnal wind thronp;h the lonely for
est and the incessant downpour of the rain ?
"This conies of short cuts," I muttered
petulently to myself, as I plodded along,
keepinu close to the trunks of the trees to
avoid the ravine through which I could hear
the flow of the turbulent stream forty or fif
ty feet helow. My blood ran cold as I tho't
what might be the possible consequence of a
misstep or a move in the wrong direction.
Why had I not been content to keep in the
right road ?
Hold on ! was that a light, or was my eyes
playing me false ?
1 stopped, holding on to a low resinous
boughs of a hemlock that jrrew on the edge
of the bank, for it actually seemed that the
wind would seize me bodily and hurl me
down the precipitous d?seent.
It was a light thank Providence it was
a light, and no innijt fatM to lead me on to
destruction and death.
"Ilallo-o-o-o!"
My voice rang through the woods like a
clarion. I plunged on through tangled vines,
iise briers and rooky banks, until, gradu
ally nearine, I could perceive a figure wrap
ped in an oil-cloth cape, or cloak, carrying a
lantern.
As the dim light fell upon his face I almost
recoiled. Would not solitude in the woods
be preferable to the companionship of this
withered, wrinkled old man ? But it was too
lattJ to rece,ie now.
mil s waiiLiii"; . iil" &n;trieii, wiui a pe
culiar motion of the lips that seemed to leave
his yellow teeth all bare.
"I am lost in the woods ; can you direct
me to U station ?"
"Yes, II station is twelve miles from
here."
"Twelve miles !"
I stood aghast.
"Could you tell me any shelter I could ob
tain for the night ?"
"No."
"Where are you going?"
"To Drew's, down by the maple swamp."
"Is it a tavern?"
"No."
"Would they take me for the night? I
could pay them well."
His eyes gleamed ; the yellow stumps
stood revealed once more.
' I guess so, folks don't stop there."
"Is it far from here ?"
"Not very ; about half a mile."
"Then make haste and let us reach it I
am drenched to the skin."
We plodded on, my companion more than
keeping pace with me. Tresently we left
the edge of the ravine, entering what seem
ed a trackless wood, and keeping straight on
until lights gleamedfitfully through the wet
foliage.
It was a ruinous old place, with windows
all drawn to one side, as if the foundation
had settled, and the pillars of a rude porch
nearly rotted away.
A woman answered my fellow traveler's
knock. My companion whispered a word or
two to her, and she turned to me with smooth,
voluble words of welcome
She regretted the poverty of their aeeom
dations ; but I was welcome to them such as
they were.
"Where is Isaac," demanded my guide.
"He has not come in yet."
I sat down on a wooden bench beside the
fire, and ate a few mouthfuls of bread.
"I should like to retire as soon as possi
ble," I said, for my weariness was excessive.
"Certainly." The woman started np with
alacrity.
"Where are you going to put him ?" ask
ed my guide,
"Up chamber."
Tut him in Isaac's room."
"No."
"li's the most comfortable."
"I tell you no."
But here I interrupted the whispered col
loquy. "I am not particular I don't care where
you put me, oDly make haste."
So I was conducted up a steep ladder that
stood in the corner of a room into an apart
ment ceiled with sloping beams and ventila
ted by one small window, where a cot bed
stead crowded close up against the board
partition, and a pine table with two or three
chairs formed the sole attempts at furniture.
The woman sat the light an old oil lamp
on the table.
HB IS A FREEMAN -WHOM THE TRUTH MAKES FREE, AND ALL ARB SLAVES BESIDE.
EBENSBURG, PA.. FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1881.
I hope you will sleep well, sir.
When
shall I call you?"
"At 4 o'clock in the morning, if you pleas e.
I must walk over to It station in time for
the 7 o'clock express."
"I'll be sure to call you, sir."
She withdrew, leaving me alone in the
gloomy little apartment, I sat down and look
ed around me with no very agreeable sensa
tions.
"I will sit down and write to Alice," I
thought ; "that will soothe my nerves and.
quiet me, perhaps."
I descended the ladder ; the fire still glow
ed redly in the hearth beneath ; my compan
ion and the woman sat beside it talking in a
low tone, and a third person sat at the table
eating a short, stout, villainous-looking
man, in a red flannel shirt and muddy trous
ers. 1 asked fir writing materials and return
ed to my room to write to my wife.
"My thirling Alice"
I piuiM'tl and laid down my pen as I con
cluded the words, half smi'iinu to think what
she would say could she know of my strange
quarters.
N"t til', both sheets wore covered did I lay
-!.!. inv imi and hrepare for slnmlier. As
I fold
1 the paper I hai'ieneU to gUmce to-
ward the conch.
Was; itt he gleam of a human eye observ
ing me through the board partition, or was
it my own f.iney ? There was a crack th?re
but only blank darkness lieyond, yet I could
have sworn that something nad sparkled
balefully at me.
I took out my watch it was just 1 o'clock.
It was scarcely worth while for me to un
dress for three hours' sleep.
I would lie down in my.clothes and snatch
what slumber I could. So placing my valise
at the head of my bed and barricading the
lockless door with two chairs, I extinguish
ed the light and laid down.
At first I was wakeful, but gradually a
soft drowsiness seemed to steal over me like
a misty mantle, until all of a sudden a start
ling, electric thrill coursed through my veins,
and I sat up excited and trembling.
A luminous softness seemed to glow thro'
the room no light of the moon or the stars
was ever so penetrating and by the little
window I saw Alice, m$ wife, dressed in
floating garments of white, with her long
golden hairkuotted back with a blue ribbon.
Apparently she was coming to me with out
stretched hands, and eyes full of wild, anx
ious tenderness.
I sprang to my feet and mshed toward her,
but as I reached thewindow the fail appa
rition seemed to vanish into the stormy dark
ness, and I was left alone. At the self-same
instant the sharp report of a pistol sounded
I could see the jagged stream of fire above
the pillow, straight to the very spot where
ten minutes before my head had lain.
With an instantaneous realization of my
danger I swung myself over the edges of the
window, jumping some ten feet into the
tangled bushes below, anil as I crouched
there, recovering myself, I heard the tramp
of footsteps into my room.
"Is he dead?" cried a voice upthe ladder
the smooth, deceitful voice of the woman
with the half-closed eves.
"Of couise he is," growled a voice back ;
"that charge would have killed. ten men cer
tain." A cold, agonizing shudder ran through me.
What a den of midnight murdeiers I had
fallen into 1 And how fearfully narrow was
my escape !
Witn the speed that only mortal terror and
deadly peril can give, I rushed through the
woods, now illumined by a faint glimmer of
starlight. I know not what impulse guided
my footsteps I never shall know how many ;
times I crossed my own track, or how close
I stood to the deadly ravine but a merciful
Providence encompassed me with a guiding
and protecting care, for when the morning
dawned witii faint red bars of orient light
against the stormy eastern sky, I was close
to the high road, seven miles from II .
Once at the town I told my story to the po
lice, and a detachment was sent with me to
the spot.
After much searching and many false
alarms we suceeded in finding the ruinous
old house ; but it was empty the birds had
flown; nor did I discover my valise,-and
watch and chain, which latter I had left
r.nder my pillow.
"It's Drew's gang," said the leader of the
police, "and they've troubled us for two
years. I don't think, though, they'll come
back here just at present."
Nor did they.
But the strangest part of my story is yet
to come.
Some three weeks later I received a letter
from my sister, who was with Alice in her
English home a letter that filled ine with
surprice.
"1 must tell you something very singular,"
wrote she "that happened on the night of
the seventeenth of October. Alice had not
been well for some time in fact she had
been confined to her bed for nearly a week
and I was sitting beside her reading. It
was late the clock has just struck one
when all at once she seemed to faint away,
growing white and rigid as a corpse. I hast-
ened to call assistance, but all our efforts to
restore animation were in vain. I was just
about sending for the doctor when her senses
returned as suddenly as they had left her,
and she sat up in bed, pushing back her hair
and looking wildly around her.
"Alice," I exclaimed, "how you have ter
rified us all ! Are you ill now?"
"Not ill," she answered "but I feel so
strange. Grace, I have been with my hus
band !"
"And all reasoning failed to convince her
of the impossibility of her assertion. She
persists to this moment that she saw you and
was with you on the morning of the eigh
teenth of October. Where and how she can
not tell, but we think it must have been a
dream. She is better now, and I wish you
could see how fast she is improving."
This is my plain, unvarnished tale. I do
not pretend to explain or account for its mys
teries. I simply relate facts. I am not su
perstitious, neither do I believe in ghosts,
wraiths or apparitions ; but this thing I do
know ; that, although my wife was in Eng
land in body on the morning of the eichteenth
of October, her spirit surely stood before
me in New York in the moment of deadly
peril that menaced me. It may be that the
subtle instinct and strength of a wife's holy
love all tilings are possible, but Alice surely
saved my life.
When a newspaper man gets his week's
salary and straggles homeward with his
market basket full of silver dollars on his
arm he almost wishes the greenback party

R0MACE OF BLACKFRI AR'S RRIIHiE.
A remarkable case has recently come to
light in London, illustrating the truth of the
assertion that any one who is once branded
as a criminal is almost lost to hope of reform,
no matter how truly penitent he may be.
It seems that on the night of April 2, a po
liceman noticed a man going down the steps
by Blackfriar's bridge toward the wharf,
where some Thames barges were moored.
Something suspicious in the slinking move
ments of the fellow induced the officer to fol
low him. He did so, and found him in con
versation with another man on the deck of
one of the bsrges. Screened by the darkness,
the officer heard every word that passed be
tween thein unobserved.
The companion of the man whom he had
followed was explaining to the other a plan
for boarding and robbing an African trading
ship, then lying in the basin at Blarkwall, in
whose cabin, he said, the captain had a large
j sum of money hidden. The li.-t. ner heard
! the plan through, and declined to have any
thing to do w ith it, w hereupon the plotter re
marked :
"All right. You know what to expect."
' I do," tep'.ied the other. "I have learned
. f....t, ....... 1 .1...,. in.
. ..
And seizing him by the throat, with a sud
den and unexpected fierceness that took him '
quite by surprise, he commenced shouting I
lustily for the police. A fusions struggle en- j
sued on the deck of the barge, which ended
in both rolling into the river ; but the origi
nator of the fight still retained his hold upon
the other, and the officer summoned assist
ance with which he was enabled to fish them
out. Both were handcuffed, and carried to
the lock-up. There the one who had been
the chief actor in the affair told the following
curious and sart!y significant story :
His name was Jonas Summerson. He be
longed in Pontefract, and had been educated
at a Yorkshire school. Reverses in business
ruined his father, who committed suicide,
and at eighteen he had to earn his own living.
He was employed in a clerical capacity for
some years by an extensive coal dealer In
Leeds. Then, with a little money he had
amassed, he came to London on a collier to
seek his fortune. He got rid of his money in
a spree on landing. In the course of this
spree he fell in with another Yoikshireman,
whose room he shared.
This person, whose name was Growden,
was a student of medicine at Guy's Hospital.
One day he handed Summerson a watch
which he said was his and asked him to pawn
it for him. Summerson, who relied upon
him for his living, for he had not obtained
any work, took the watch to a pawnshop.
Next day he was arrested. The watch had
been stolen by Growden out of the pocket of
one of his fellow students. The thief was
arrested and sent to jail. His tool received
a month or two in a workhouse.
When he got out he again sought work.
He found it in a wine merchant's cellar near
the docks. One afternoon while he was at
work some one tapped at the little window
which lighted his ilesk. A man was peer
ing in at him from the sidewalk. It was a
man whom he had known at the workhouse.
The fellow begged half a crown and went
away. Next day he returned, and the next,
each time demanding money, and each time
getting it from the victim, who feared to
have his unfortunate history revealed. At
the fourth visit, however, he had no money
to give ; his persecutor had already got all
his week's salary f rom him. The fellow sug
gested that he should reinforce his purse
from the cash drawer. He refused the
other insisted, and at last he took a couple
of shillings to satisfy him. Foreseeing the
repetition of the demand which would occur
the next day, he left the office that night de
termined not to return. Being utterly with
out means, he took a couple of shillings more
from the cash. The total amount of the
theft was seven shillings.
This was the first link in the chain of
crime which had been fastened upon him by
chance. Up to now he had lieen innocent
but unfortunate. Now he was guilty.
He went to the other end of London with
five shillings of the wire merchant's money
in his pocket, and hired a room. Payment
of the rent left him without a farthing. He
went two days without food. On the third
he fe.l lu with his acquaintance of the work- Frank, a baker, then living at Rondout, was
house again. The latter told him that he had j badly hurt in a iunaway accident Simul
been to the wine store to look for him, and ; taneously with the accident his lister, then
had been told that he had fled, and that a
warrant was out for his arrest for theft.
"You might as well hang for a sheep as a
chop," he said, -'but yon needn't hang at all
unless you want to ;" and then, over a hear
ty meal in a flash tavern, he unfolded a
scheme of roblwry to him.
It was to enter the wine cellar he had late
ly left and pluhder it. Summerson, half
mad with despair and shame, and further
excited by the drinks his tempter plied bim
with, was ripe for anything. That night the
wine merchant's safe was opened and every
shilling it contained abstracted.
The feat happened to be a daring one, and
made its perpetrator no little renown among
the crooked people to whom his evil genius
introduced him. He, however, was no soon-
! er sensible of what he had done than a great
horror took possession of him. lie fled from
Loudon, and by some instinct took his way
home. On foot, and by a stolen ride, he
made his way to Yorkshire, to the house
where his mother and sister lived in decent
poverty. They took him in, of course. He
told them nothing of his crime, but went to
work at his old post in the Leeds coal-dealer's
office. For a year he remained there ia
peace. Then, one morning, a man with a
brazen manner and sinister look lounged
into the office and addressed him by name.
It was one of the thieves he had known in
Lomion.
The miscreant had been on an expedition
in the neighborhood, and had stolen a horse
and carriage he wanted to dispose of. Sum
merson, happy of any chance of getting him
out of the way, sent him to friend who want
ed such conveniences. The friend purchased
them and found almost at once that they
were stolen. He sent the police after the
thief and they arrested him. He, supposing
that Summerson had betrayed him, denounc
ed him as the plunderer of the wine mer
chant's store for whom the London police
were looking.
Thenceforth the wretched man was doom
ed indeed.
He was taken to London, tried, and sent to
prison for three years. He was the best
prisoner in jail and was released at the end
of two years. lie obtained work at Man
chester, but one of his old jail fellows traced
him out and informed his employer who and
what he was. The employer discharged
bim. He carried Lb couple of pounds of
ft 'fflilliil '1 'tit
savings to Liverpool, but, failing to get work
there, and falling In with an old prison mate,
that occurred which might have been ex
pected. lie was detected passing a counterfeit ten
pound note, and sent to jail for seven years.
Again he proved an exemplary prisoner,
and was discharged at the end of five years
This time he went to Bristol, where he le
eame liookkeeper at a steamship office. His
crime followed him. The secret leaked out
and he was discharged. Ha went to Plym
outh and met a jail bird acquaintance there,
who had a job on hand he wanted help in.
He called on Summerson to help him and
he went to prison again.
When he got out he went to London, de.
termiued this time to make and hold an hon
est place for himself, or starve. He found
work as a light porter In a warehouse and
married. He had been at work a year, had
been advanced to a better position, and com
menced to make a home for himself, when
one of the scoundiels he was cursed with
knowing, found him out. The usual pro
gram followed, the usual threat of exposure
in case he persisted in his honest intentions,
and his foe made an appointment to meet
him at the river side at night.
"I went there," said Summerson, "with
I the intention of giving him up to the police
if he threatened me again. I could not face
the shame he would impose on me before my
wife and my friends, few as they are, but I
did not care so mnch if all the woild knew
my trouble, as It would if I did what I have
done. I have told my story, gentlemen. I
hope it will do no harm."
It did not. The three magistrates who
heard him communicated the recital to friends
of means and influence. Summerson was
provided with money and an outfit, and by
the time this finds print is probably on his
way to New Zealand, safe at last from the
baleful influence of his first fault. His case
is likely to produce some good for other men
like him, too for a society is now organizing
in London especially to help such penitent
offenders whom their merciless old associates
persist in hounding back into the evil paths
they wish to forsake. "Once a thief, always
a thief," is a maxim with the dangerous
classes here as well as abroad. How many
Summersons are there not among us to-day?
Advektisino that Paid. Johnny Man
ning, Sheriff of Deadwood, Dakota Territory,
was in St. Louis cn business, and he remem
bered that the year before a St. Louis man
had been up to Deadwood and left owing a
man several hundred dollars, w hich was to be
paid as soon as he got home. Manning met
the man in St. Louis, and he said he would
hand him tne money next day, but the dav
passed and the money did not come, though
the man was amply able to pay. So one
morning Manning inserted a personal in a I
newspaper to the effect that if the man who
left Deadwood between two days, did not
pay the money he forgot to pay the night be
fore, the whole circumstance would be pub
lished next day. The notice was signed
"John Manning, Sheriff of Deadwood."
Before ft o'clock a young man celled at Man
ning's hotel, and said he had seen the no
tice and had come to pay $220 he had bor
rowed to get out of Deadwood. Manning
found out who the money was borrowed of,
and took it to carry to the Deadwood citizen,
remarking that he was not the man to whom
the Sheriff referred, but it was a mighty
mean Sheriff that would not carry money to
a friend. The next man to call was the one
he wanted, and he paid the money and apol-
j ogized, and begged the Sheriff to say nothing
j about it. During the day seven citizens of
j St. I-ouis called on Manning and paid him
money for citizens of Deadwood, believing
j the Sheriff had reference to them in his no
tice, and after he had gone away another
citizen called and asked the clerk for Man
ning, but the clerk said the other fellows had
all been there and paid up, and th:s man had
better keep his money. The Sheriff said he
always thought advertising paid, but he
never had it demonstrated to his satisfaction
before. Milwaukee isttn.
Wonderful Dreams. In Huguenot, N. i
Y., since the publication of the wonderful
dreams of the charcoal burner at Indian-
town Gap, some stories of curious dreams
have been told. Several years ago Morris !
living in Cheyenne, dreamed that he was
hurt in exactly that manner. She says she
saw him fall from the wagon. Impressed
with the dream, she wrote home and receiv
ed letters soon after which verified it. Mr.
Frank himself says that he had a vision of
his mother's death and faneral in Germany.
He told his children as soon as he had this
vision, that they must refrain from all festiv
ities for ten days. At the end of that time
he received intelligence of his mother's death,
which occurred at the hour of his vision.
A bank cashier living near there says that
some years ago, as he was balancing up the
bank's accounts, he detected an error, but
could not place it, though he searched for
days. One night, after a long and late search,
which was as before unsuccessful, he dream
ed that he saw the error. He noted the page,
and next morning, as soon as the bank was
opened, he turned to the page, and there
found the error that had puzzled his mind
and eluded his search for days. The same i
man says that one night the president of the
bank soon after retiring dreamed that he
saw four masked burglars enter a back win
dow of the house of the cashier, proceed to
to his room, bind and gag him, take him to
the bank, and force" him to open the combi
nation of the safe. Awaking in a fright, the
president went to the house ot the cashier,
just in time to discover the burglars forc
ing open the Identical window which appear
ed in his dream. He fired his revolver at
them and tightened them away.
The Favored Land. "I feel," said the
fat passenger, "as the train crossed the Ohio
line, that I am in the land of statesmen.
There is a smell of tye Postoffice in the air,
and the low, sweet sound of a consulate is
heard in the dewy distance. I see the shad
owy forms of Marshals yet to be, and out of
the dreamy gates ot the impossible I see the
sad procession of the never to be Supreme
Judges. It is a dear and favored land, this
grand old stepmother of Presidents." Bur

NOTES OF THE REVOLITIO.
On the lflth of Anril. 177... was shod the

Ix-xinuton. Mas.
In June and July, 1776, an attempt was
made to destroy the fort on Sullivan's Is

and Sir Peter Paiker. After an action of
upwards of ten hour, the Bnti-U were
obliged to retire, having their ship greatly
injured and with the loss t.f two lnin.lr.d

commemoration of his gallant needs, and (
who deserves an honorable ii.du e in ever)
history of his country. In the wannest pail 1
of the contest the Hag-stall was severed by a
cannon ball, and the fl.is feil to the bottom 1
of the ditch on the out-ul'- of the works. ;

end to the contest by striking the American
flag to the enemy. The moment Jarj-er ;
made the discovery that the flag had fallen 1
he jumped from one of th? embrasures and
took tip the flag, which he tied to a po-t and !
replaced it on the parapet, where he sup- j
ported it until another flagstaff was procured. !
The subsequent activitv and enterprise of ,
this patriot induced (.'!. Moultrie to give him
a sort of roving commission, to go and come i
at pleasure, confident that be was always
usefully employed. He was privileged to
select such men from the regiment as he
chose to accompany him in his enterprises.
His parties consisted generally of five or six, I
and he often returned with prisoners before
Moultrie was apprised of his absence. j
Jasper was distinguished for his humane ;
treatment when an enemy fell Into his pow- ;
er. His ambition appears to have been llm- !
ited to the characteristics of bravery, human- I
itv and usefulness to the cause in which he f
was engaged. By his cunning ana enter-

those lying in ambush for him. He entered
the British lines
and remained several davs
in Savannah in disguise, and, after inform
ing himself of their strength and intentions,
returned to the American camp with useful
information to his commanding officer.
In one of these excursions an instance ot
braverv and humanity is recorded by the bi
ocrapher of Gen. Marion, which could not le
credited if it were not well attested. While
he was examining the British canin of Kben
czer, all the svnu.athy of his heart was awa
kened by the distreHsof a Mrs. Jones, whose
husband, an American by birth, had taken
the Kinc's protection and been confined in
irons for dwserting the royal cause after he !
had taken the oath of allegiance. Her well-
founded belief was that nothing short of the j
life of her husband would atone for the of- ,
! icay- whi;h he was charged
Antiei-,
pating the awful scene of a beloved husband i
expii ing on the gibbet had excited inexpress- I
ible emotions of grief and distraction. j
Jasper frequently cousulte.1 with his com- i
panion, Sergeant Newton, whose feelings for
the distressed female and her child were j
equallv excited w ith his own upon the piaeti- 1
biiity of releasing Jones from his impending
fate." Though thev were unable to suggest a ;
plan of operation, they were determined to ;
watch for the most favorable opportunity j
and make the elfort.
The departure of Jones and several oth- ;
ers, all in irons, to Savannah tor trial, under
a guard consisting of a Sergeant Coi'iraI '
and eight men, was ordered on the succeed- i
ingmorning. Within twomilesof Savannah
about thirty yards from the main road, is a
spring of line water, surrounded by a deep !
and thick underwood, where travelers olteii
halt to refresh themselves witlia cool draught
from this pure fountain. Jasper and his
companion selected this spot as the most fa
vorable for their enterprise. They accord
ingly passed the guard and concealed them
selves near the spiino. When the enemy
came up they halted, and two of the guard
remained with the prisoners, while tiie oth
ers leaned their guns against trees in a care
less manner and went to the spring. Jasper
and Newton sprang from their places of con
cealment, seized two of the tuns and shot
the sentinels. The po ession of all the
.arms placed the enemy in their power, and
compelled them to surrender. Tho irons
were taken oil the prisoners and arms put
into their hands. The w hole patty arrived
at Perrysburg the next morning and joined
the American camp. There are but few in
stances upon re. ord where personal exertion,
even for self-preservation lrotn certain pros
pects of death, would have induced a resort
to an act so desperate of execution. Hmv
much more laudable was this, where the
spring to action was roused by the lamenta
tions of a female unknown to the adven
turers t
Subsequently to the gallant defence at Sul
livan's l-!.ind."Col. Moultrie's regiment was
presented with a stand of colors 'by Mrs. Kl
liot, which she had richly embroidered with
her own hands : and, as a reward of Jasper's
paiticular merits. Governor Rutledge pre
sented him with a very handsome sword.
Dui ing the assault on Savannah, two offi
cers had been killed and one wounded en
deavoring to plant these colnrscin the enemy's
parapet of the Spring Hill redoubt. Just
before the retreat was ordered Jasnar eu-
I , rei"acp tnem upon the works,

lai wound and tell into the ditch. When a
retreat was ordered he recollected the honor
able condition upon which the donor presen
ted the colors to his regiment, and anions the
last acts ot his life succeeded in bringing
them off.
Major Horry called to see him soon after
the retreat, to whom, it is said, he made the
following communication :
"I have cot my furlough. That sword
was presented to me by Governor Rutledze i
for my services In defence of Fort Moultrie.
Give it to my father, and tIl him I won it i
with honor. If he should weep tell him his
son died in the hope of a better life. Tell
Mrs. Elliott that 1 lost my life supporting '
the colors she presented to our regiment. If j
you ever see Jones, his wife and sou tell
them that Jasper is gone, but that the re- !
membrance of the battle which he fought for !
them brought a secret joy to his heart when
it was about to stop its motion forever."
ABravf. Woman. Sometimein 1S71 a wo
man named Theresa Maria, dwelling in the
village of Fratel, on the frontier of Portugal
and Spain, on the way across the fields with
her husband's dinner, was told by a shep
herd btiy that he had seen a wolf prowling
about. Never having seen one in her life,
she put down her basket, and, directed by
the lad, climbed to a high place, and looking
eagerly around discried the;animal in the act
of devouring a lamb. Thinking to scare the
brute from its prey, the boy shouted at it
and pelted it with stones, so infuriating the
wo'f" that it left its meal unfinished and
made for its disturber, jumping up at the lit
tle fellow's face, tearing the flesh, and then
pulling him to the ground. What did the
horror-stricken on-looker do run away?
Not she. Picking up a Urge stone she rush
ed on the beast and seized hold of bin. In
vain he bit and tore her flesh : the undaunt
ed woman contrived to keep his throat close
ly infolded by her left arm, while she batter
ed his head "with the stone, and thus killed
him. Meanwhile the villagers had been
alarmed and came hurrying to her aid, arm
ed with guns, sticks and stones, meeting
Theresa on her way home covered with
blood, from teirible wounds in her face,
arm s and hands. They carried her to the
hospital atNiza, where, pitiful to tell, she
expired axaetly a month afterward, consoled
in her d ing hours with lelieving that she
had not sacrificed her life in vain. A false

j A Goon Deed. There is nothing so noble
; and touching as a really spontaneous act of
, generosity, al ter all. The cither day a rough,
careless looking stranger was walking up
! Mission street, iiear Sixth, w hen he observ
ed a lot of hoodlums clustered round the
, gate of a small frame house, in front of
i which a pr woman was weeping bitterlv,
1 surrounded by her terrified children. A
scanty array of householdigoods on the pave
ment showed that it was a case of eject
ment. "What are you abu-ing that woman for ?"
, demanded the ''man from below," adJre-s-
in; an ill-favored individual who was earrv-
ing out the furniture.
i "I ain't abu-ing her," growled the land
lord : '--ho can't pay her rert, and I'm g'
ing to bounce the whole outfit, that's ail."
"I've a goil mind to bounce you," said
i the stranger, indignantly: ''what is the
amount she owes you ."'
"Twenty-two dollars."
"Here, take it out .d that.,' and the antny
nian took out his waliet mid handeii over a
inii greenback.
The evirtor respectfully turned over a re
ceipt and the change. I'oi -:ng an add It ion

'stable door ;w hen the cattle are all in the
yard, and say to the dog, "l.rf'0 drive thetn
