THE FATAL RIFLE.
It was at the battle of San Jacinto
that the rifie came to my notice. We
Texans having gained advantage over the
Mexicans whose first discharge had
lieen aimed too high—rushed on while
• <ur enemies paused to reload their gunk,
llach man reserved his fire for some in
dividual, so that the struggle was lees a
cattle than a succession of duels. With
out bayonets, we broke our ride* against
their head*, and, with pistol or bowie
knife in hand, trampled down the dying
men. plungiug oar blade* into the
breasts of the few who opposed ns, into
the Iwcks of those who fled.
We were still full of memories of the
Alamo. Never could we forget how the
Mexicans had slaughtered every human
being within its walls, save three—a
woman, a child and a negro—and after
ward burned the bleeding bodies in one
horrible pile.
The war-cry of onr pan a had been:
" Fight for vour lives, and remember the
Alamo;" and the poor Mexicans, who
were, after all. but the slaves of a blood
thirsty tyrant, thought of it also,
and moaned as they fell: "Me no
Alamo! Me no Alamo!" hoping to
establish a claim for mercy, on the plea
that they had no hand in' that horrible
-.iffair.
In the midst of this conflict I saw my
college chum, Howard Rath bone, in in
stant peril. I rushed to his aid. Having
broken his gun over the head of one
Mexican, he found himself beset by an
other, who cried ont that he would
avenge his brother's blood. As they
•rappled, the Mexican tried to use his
rifle as my chum had his. It was in vain.
Howard was the stronger. In a few
moments he gained possession of the
other's weapon, end struck him a blind
ing blow. Then, his hands being freed,
he drew his bowie-knife and plunged it
into the Mexican's heart. Meanwhile
the savage tide of fighting men poured
past. This was a little conflict by itself.
Hardly any one noticed it, there were so
manv others. Bnt as he fell, the dying
Mexican clntched the cloth of the
soldier's coat in the grip of death, and
dragged him down upon his breast,
where for a moment he lay as one who
had cast himself upon the breast of a
friend. Onlv a moment: bnt ere he had
freed himself these words had been
hissed into his ears:
" I curse the gun • May it prove the
curse of your life!"
As the Texan struggled to his feet,
wrenching the dead clutch from his
jacket, he felt inclined to cast the rifle
upon the gronnd. At that moment it
was too neceasary to him. The next,
he was a tiger again, beset by other
tigers.
" Me no Alamo !" moaned a bleeding
Mexican.
He struck him down.
" Mother!" cried a boy, into whose
breast he had plunged his blade.
For answer, he drove his iron heel into
the face that was hardly more than a
child's.
Seventeen years had passed since the
battle of San Jacinto, when I went to the
bonse of my former ehnm to see his
daughter marry. Soon came the rustic
sapper, the music of two fiddles, danc
ing, and plenty of drinking—too much,
by far, but it was the custom of the
country. At last the bridegroom's father,
standing beside the father of the bride,
glanced up at the rifle hanging over the
chimney-piece.
"Some of the relics of your fighting
times, I reckon," said he.
"Yes," said Rath bone, "yes, I took
that from a Mexican rascal at San
Jacinto."
" Well, well," said the other, regard
ing the weapon with curiosity. " Sort of
singular looking, ain't it ? I never saw
a Mexican rifle before. Can't see much
of it now—it's so high np."
He hail been drinking a good deal
and was in high spirits. The Rame might
have been aaid of the old soldier.
"I'll have it down," said he, " and let
you see it."
He mounted on a chair and took the
weapon in his hands, the thongs bv
which it was slung remaining on their
nails.
" Here you are, friend," said he.
"And now you've got in your hand a
rifle that may have been the death of
many a brave fellow at the Alamo. It's
seventeen years Rince it wuri in any
body's hands, and its last shot, fnayhup,
was'fired as a kind of salute to my girl,
your boy's bride, who came into the
world on that day, her mother not know
ing whether she was a widow or not.
Eh, mother?"
" Ah! that's a day to remember," said
the wife.
" Pa has got his gun down," cried the
bride. "Sam, I never saw the gun
down before."
As he spoke the other man gave the
rifle back into Rathbone's hands, and he
stood holding it.
" You don't dare to shoot me," cried
the bride. "Ah! pa, you're not as
brave as you used to be. You don't
dare aim at me."
" Yes, shoot us," laughed half a dozen
wild Texan girls. "Shoot na—shoot ns
—shoot ns!"
"Then I will, my pretty robins,"
cried the father. "One, two, three—
fly away or I fire !"
He aimed the weapon that had hung
useless on the wall for seventeen years—
the gun the Mexican had cursed—at his
daughter. It was just as safe a thing to
10, in one's opinion, as if it had been a
•rooms-tick.
" Who's afraid f" cried tin* girl.
•• Now then, ouo, two, three," said the
soldier. " Bang!'
An ho uttered tho childish imitation of

llin gun had jroved a en me to its captor
i But how f
I am uot willing to admit supernatural
j agenoy. 1 i vain tain the gun exploded
,tu aoosirdauoe with the law* of hmduig
and irf friction. If men would only try
to traoe mysterious events to their
aouroe, superstition would s*on oeaae.
For oue, 1 lielieve nothing evarooourred
winch could uot t*e explained. That
this is not tlie common opiuiou, the
narrator is well aware.
But amid all his agony and remorse,
my old chum persisted in one statemeut:
He had not pulled the trigger. Those
who had watched him closely, veterans
oxjvert iu the use of tl rearms, declared
that he had not —that the rifle seemed to
Art* itself off. All that the father could
say wax : "Tho gnu is cursed. The
Mcxuvui curved the gun."
To comfort him, we all agreed it was
so, Indeed, lam uot sun* but they ail
thought it. Inwardly, 1 resolved to fer
ret out the mystery.
The horrible accident nearly broke his
heart. He had been a tine-looking,
upright, middle-aged man when his
daughter's wedding dsv dawued ; when
he arose from the bei on which a long
and terrible illueealaid him, he wax l*ent
like a patriarch of uiuetv. and his harr,
from lieiug brown and rum, was thin ami
white as suoy.
A* for tlie gnu the Mexican had curved,
tlie soldier had never seen it since that
dsv.
Strong u her tenderness for the father,
even M her grief for LIT child, the
mother had overcome her horror of the
dreadful thiug, and had carried it to the
groat garret. There she hid it in a lum
ber closet, no that it might uot trvmble
her unhappy husband should his eyes
ever look upon the thing* of this world
again. He had never asked about it ; he
believed it had beeu destroyed. He did
uot know that the powder-horn and shot
bag hung beside it.
Again I was making my annual visit
at the old homestead. It was a warm
day. ami my former chum had beeu
afield since dawn. At uoon his job was
done, and the boys who hail toiled with
him followed him home, full of glee that
their work was over.
••1 shall take a nap, lads," he said,
after dinner. '' As for yon, yon caa do
the same, if you like, or go a tlshiug.
There's plenty of trout in the kill, TIM
told."
And as the boys both cried aloud that
fishing was their choice, their father
smiled upon them.
" Whatever troubles we've had,
mother," he said, "we've two flue
boys."
And he went to take his uap with a
lighter heart than be had often had siuce
the fatal marriage day;
But when he had fallen asleep, he be
gan to dream strange, troubled dreams.
He was at the battle of San Jacinto, and
the Mexican's lips were at his ear.
" I cursed the gun." He heard again:
" May it prove a curse to yon !"
Other gnus were tiring all about
them; he heard the uoise, he smelt the
smoke. Suddenly he awoke—the uoise
of the report of tirearms was actually in
his ears and he detected the odor of
guujxiwder.
He saw his wife on her knees in the
middle of the room.
" What has happened ?" he cried.
"I do not know," sobbed the poor
woman. t
" I heard a noise—l am frightened!"
Then they rushed together t<> the gar
ret, whence came a sound of groans.
Meanwhile I had heard the lovs g<>
past* my room and up the garret stairs,
probably m search of fisliing tackle. I
called them hack.
"Be careful, boys," I cautioned them,
"about the lumber closet. There is au
old gun in it that may be loaded. Don't
go near it."
"All right," said Charlie. "Come
ou Will."
They went up stairs.
"Fishing is all very well," said the
elder, bnt I'd like shooting better.
What a pity father won't let us have
guns."
He crossed the garret and opened the
door of the lumber closet.
" Yes there the old thing is. I don't
believe its loaded. What if it is? Reck
on I know how to manage a gun !"
"Let's take it on the sly," said his
brother. " Let it out of the window,
and I'll carry it to the woods. There is
the powder-flask and bullet-pouch, too.
We can get some caps at the store, Char
lie."
" A good idea,' said Charlie, advanc
ing toward the cloaet from which his
brother came, trailing the ran after him.
Neither of them gueased it was the
weapou that had caused their sister's
death " Let's have it, Will," said he,
and took it. Suddenly there was s flash,
a report, and a horrible scream from the
little fellow, who fell forward on his
face at the feet of the elder His pros
trate form was what his wretched par
ents saw as we three rushed into the old
garret
The other bov stood, utterly noable to
move, clutching the weapon that liad
caused all this.
"May God have mercy on us, it is
the cursed rifle again !" cried the father.
Then the boy found words.
" I swear I did not load it!" he said.
" I swear I did not touch the trigger !"
And still his brother lay dead at his
feet.
On the night before, I liad seen a
sight that might liave prophesied this
tragedy. Would heaven I had told of it !
The kitchen clock was striking eleven.
In a country house like that people go
early to bed. The family hail leeu asleep
an boor. I was reading, but paused to
listen to the striking of the louu-monthed
clock. As it ceased, I fancied I heard
a footfall upon the stairs. I opened the
■loor. Slowly the noise came nearer.
It had the aound that can come only
from a bare foot. The next second 1
saw my host, Iteth bone, approaching me.
" You'll catch cold, old fellow," said I.
" Put on your coat."
To my surprise he answered not at all,
but came slowly on.
Then I saw, lor the first time, a som
nambulist.
For a moment 1 hesitated whether to
awake him. He was easily mortified ;
and my catching him in such a plight
would prove disagreeable pn na both.
80 I simply followed him.
He went on past my door, and up the
stairs. At the garret entrance he stop
ped a second, then lifted the latch and
entered. I waa close Itehiud.
Without the least hesitation lie ad
vanced to Che lnml>er closet. I did not
know the old rifle was there, and again
I followed. The moonlight, streaming
iu through the chinks in the eaves ami
one broken window, made the dreary
place quite light.
He turned, the wooden button of the
eloet door, and drew out a powder horn.
Then he brought out a bag of shot.
And then—the fatal gun.
At onoe I it. Who, in
deed, that had ever seen it could forget
the heavily chased mountings of silver,
the grotesquely carved butt, the enor
mous barrel ? With the reoollection
there flashed upon me such s horror as I
had never felt.
Still, I was powerless to move. I
tried to cry out. My tongue refused.
At last I found utterance. But in the
brief moment I hail thought of the con
sequences that must follow my awaking
him. Here, evidently, was the precious
secret kept so long—the clue to his
daughter's death. No doubt the gun
had been loaded before the fatal bridal
day, in the same manner, and by the
same man, in the name condition of som
nambulism, as I saw it was being loaded
now. The father was unconscious that
he was really the murderer of his daug
ter. He knew the gnn had gone off m
his hands, bnt ascribed it to the Mexi
can's curse. Why should I undeceive
him ? Had he not sorrow enough f bo
I let him be. Shuddering, I saw him
ram home the charge, then put the rifle
back.
Was I uot right ? Is then* any event
ao aeemiuglv supernatural, so elotlied in
mystery, that ehattee cannot make it
plain as any iage of Nature's laws }
The old rifle is mint*. It is gleaming
at me eveu now.

Hook's Practical Jokes.
There is a story told of Hook carrying
off a splendid wooden Highlander from
before a snuff shop, throwing a cloak
round it, and thrusting it into a cab.
"My frieud," he said, addressing the
driver, who looked rather astonished at
the figure, " a very respectable man, but
a little tipsy." Not even the passers-by
in the street were exempt from las cool
impudence. Observing a man of most
pompon* air strutting d<>wu the Strand,
he shipped him with *' 1 beg your panlon
sir, but may I ask if von are auv one
particular !" Then, without waiting for
a reply, he walked off, leaving the
stranger transfixed with amasemenu
These, however, are but poor specimens
of his effroutery. Strolling one day
ann-m-arm with \>aniel Terry, the actor,
up a street in Soho, his nostrils w ere as
sailed by a most savory odor. Looking
down au area, he saw the servants rn the
kitchen l>elow dressing up a very flue
dinner. "A party, no doubt." said
Terrv; "jolly dogs! what a feast' I
should like to make one of thepi.** I'll
take a bet I do," replied Hook, "fall
for me at ten." leaving his friend, he
mounted the steps ami knocked at the
door. Believing him to lie one of the
expected gneeta, the servant conducted
him to the druwing-roum, where a num
ber of persons were already assembled.
Making himself perfectly at home he had
half-a-dozen people about him, laughing
at his (tons molt, before the host dis
covered that a stranger was present.
" I beg yonr pardon, sir," he said, ad
dressing the uuinvited one, " your name?
—I did not quite catch it; servants are
inoorrect" "Smith, sir, Smith," re
plied the unblushing Theodore, "don't

the host mildly, " I did not anticipate

tation from you yesterday, ou my arrival
from Liverpool, to dine with yon to-day.
family party, come in boots, you said."
The host at once disclaimed the name of
Thompson, or any knowledge of the
vivacious Smith. " Good heavens! then
I have come j to the wrong house," ex
claimed the hoaxer, "my dear sir, how
can I apologise ? so awkward, too, and I
have asked a friend to call for me." The
old gentleman, probably thinking so
witty s personage wonld make au excel
lent addition to his party, begged him
to remain. With a profusion of apolo
gies, Hook at first pretended to decline
—ultimately accepted. Everybody was
delighted with him ; all the evening he
kept up a constant fire of and re
partee. and ultimately sat down to the
piano, and sang extempore verses on
every one present. In the midst of these
the door opened, and true to his appoint
ment, in walked Tarry, at the sight of
whom, striking a new key, he sang :
" I'm vetv much pleated with your far a.

A ttrest Lawyer with a Weakness.
Luther Martin was one of the most
famons lawyers of his time. He was a
little above the medium height, and was
slovenly in appearance. His ilrcss was
a compound of the fine and the coarse,
and seemed never to have felt the brush.
He wore ruffles at the wriHt richly edged
with lace after every one else had aban
doned them. These ruffles were con
spicuously broad, and were always dirty
with toliacco jnice. Judge Taney said
that in his speech he used vulgarisms,
and that he heard him say " coteh " him,
instead of caught him, and we set down,
instead of sat down.
His genius WRH frequently clouded by
the excessive ne of strong drink. Being
engaged in an important case, lie
promised his clients the day before the
anit was to be tried not to drink any
liquor. He retired to hi* room, but
could not resist his desire for stimulants.
He aent for a bottle of brandy and a loaf
of bread, and after saturating the bread
thoroughly with the braudv, be ate it,
and hia unfortunate appetite was satis
fied, and ho claimed he had kept his
promise not to drink. He tried the
canae in the ablest possible manner, but
on being reproached by his clients for
hia virtual violation of hiH promiae, he
remarked: " I did not drink a drop ; he
sides, say no more about it. Had it not
been for the bread, I would have lost the
case."
He had a paralytic stroke, and having
squandered his large earnings at the bar
as fast as they were acquired, in his old
age, under the goading* of penury, he
removed to New York, and received the
hospitalities and kind attentions of Asrou
Burr, whom he had ably defended at
Richmond. Before hia death the Legis
lature passed a resolution that every one
on being admitted to the bar should pay
one dollar cash for his use. He died on
July 10, 1826, when he was eighty-two
years of age.

The proper education of voting girl*
i* one of the moat important subject*
which riui engage the attention of re
former* ac<i philosopher*. I* not too
much uf their tune taken up iu acquir
ing fancy accomplishments, while aolhl
learning is neglected? Is not the old
fashioned notion, that a girl, *lu>uhl be
so trained a* to suable her to perform
the part of a honaewife when the gets
married, as sound now aa it wa* in the
ilaya of our grandmotliera ?
Hiese reflection* necessarily occupy 11*
as we read the following letter :
" KIR : Feeling a little nnea*y in my
mind iu regar<l to what I consider a Tery
serious mailer, I take the liberty of ask
ing you for a little advice, I am a yonug
man of twenty-five years, work at my
trade, and onn earu fifteen dollars a
week; engaged to be married to a very
nice, ana, I may say, accomplished
young lady. She is well educated, a
good singer, fair performer on the piano,
etc., but, I am sorry to say, uo house
keeper. She has never cooked a meal
of vitnala, cannot iron a aliirt, or do any
thing in that line. And, as I will not be
able to hire a servant hi do these things,
which I think a jk.it mechanic's wile
ought to be able to do, lam sorely dis
tressed. Advise me if yon oan. and you
will groatly oblige J. W. I)."
We frvmpathize with our troubled cor
reapoudent, and agree with him that no
woman is lit to W the wife of a mechanic
ou fifteen dollars a week who cannot
cook. his meals and iron his shirts.
Though shrtmay sing melodiously and
get a good deal of music out of a piano,
these accomplishments do not supply
the place of <lnmestio knowledge and
experience. She is too exjiensive an
ornament for a poor man to possess.
Her parent* have brought tin* girl up
unwisely, if they have not taken pains
Ut tit her for the duties she wm likely t/>
be called on to perform. It waa all very
well to U>ach her to sing and to play the
piano, but lier mother should have neeu
to it that *h also learned to onok and
to iron. Properly pursued, the art of
cookery may occupy the finest minds,
and a girl situated as we judge our cor
respondent's sweetheart is should be
early inducted into its mysteries. A
great deal of domestic unlianpiness is
caused by bad cookery, ana a neatly
laid table with appetizing viands will
usually bring peace and harmony into a
home.
A poor man's wife ought t#> know how
to luako liin household comfortable, and
she cannot do that by dramming on the
piano or aingiug at the window, while
the pot boils over on the stove, and the
meat bnrns on the gridiron. Ho far
from deeming the office* of honsewife
beneath her, she alionld rejoice at the
opportunity her marriage gives her to
perform them. While her husband is
off at work, earning the bread for her
and their children, she should be con
rooting the dishes which their means
allow and which appeal to Ins taste, ami
setting the domestic establishment in
order against bis coming. If, when he
get# home tired and hungry, he Ami#
everything at sixes and sevens, and the
table provided only with soggy potatoes
and juioelee# meat, while iris wife is
hammering the piano, he is apt to say
cross things, and all reasoushle people

bands should always do their best to
keep their tempers.— JVew York Sun.
A Wroaniag Tree.
Quite a sensation has been created in
the Amity Church neighborliood, Clark
oonnty, Ala., by a pine tree which
groans like a human being in distress or
dying. A number of )>ersons of beth
colors visited the place on a recent Sun
day to hear the doleful sound. With the
colored people, the interest in the mys
terious Bounds is enhanced by the fact
that the tree stands hard by a large
graveyard, and is near the place where a
man of their color was killed by lighten
ing a year ago.
The sympathetic man of the Burling
ton Jlawkeye says: " One of the most
pitiful spectacles iu this cruel winter
weather is the sight of a shivering
wasp, who fooled around in the autumn
sunshine until his house was closed for
the season, and he looked out without a
night key in his pocket."
