PA SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1880.
XUV DEATH or A aiOTHUIl.
Somo never havo folt tho sorrows that melt
The soul of full many another t
The keen piercing dart that strikes thro' tlio
heart,
When at the death-bod of a mother)
O, what tongue can tell of the sickening chill
1 hat crept o'er us sister and brother.
As we stood at tho head of that sorrowful bedi
On which lay our dear dying mother.
Light-hearted and young, wo always had
clung
To the homo of our youth and each other t
And wo all wept aloud, as wo gated on the
shroud
That enwrapped tho pale form of ollr mother
In the coffin she lay on that bleak winter dny
And the winds seemod to battlo together t
But wo felt not tho cold, for our grief was un
told,
As wo followed the bier of our mother.
In tho grave sho was laid, and tho sound of
tho spade,
As tho clods fell ono after another.
Sent a pang to my heart, that shall never
depart,
While I cherish a thought of my mother.
Wo sought no relief from tho depth o( our
grler-
We spnko not a word to each other j
But In anguish we thought, as we turned from
the spot,
No more shall wo see our dear mother.
Soon after 1 parted, almost broken hearted,
From desolate sister and brother)
And months rolled around, ero I stood on tho
ground
That cover tho bones of my mother.
'Twas then, when I trod on the grass covered
sod,
When the flowers seemed to vie with each
other,
That I prayed for God's grace, and pardon
and peace,
That In bliss I might meet with Mr motd
crl HE Wl liLiINCi XO TRY.
Don't Klvb up to easy,
I pray you, my friend,
Nor Judge at tho first
How the Journey will end.
The pathway Is rugged,
The mountain Is high ;
Hut ere you lose conrago
Be willing to try.
You gain qulto a foothold,
Yoti, step by Stop, climb j
Look out I HaVo a caro
How you trend j and take tlmo I
Let hope bo your watchword-.
Let truth be your cry ;
Though evils beset you,
Do willing to try.
You're up near the summit

A IV ll.V'fjtAOItm.NAUY PEOPLES
At tho meeting of tho British Association
at Sheffield, the well-known African explor
er, Commander Cameron, said Urua was
one of the largest native States of Africa.
The great chief was Kasonga, and tho race
was perhaps tho most civilized in Central
Africa. Tho chief claimed divinity. On
his death all his wives but onewcro slaugh
tered at tho grave, and tho one whoso life
was not taken was handed oyer to his suc
cessor. The centra oi. the religion of the
peoplo was an idol, which was held in great
rovereneo.
The idol was placed in the midst of a
great jungle, and it had for a wifo one of
the sisters of tho reigning sovereign. Under
tho principal chief were smaller chiefs, who
had collected and paid over to the sovereign
tribute. Ho had sect) this tribute come in,
and Bomo of it had como from distant parts
of the country. There was a numerous class
ofwisardsih tho country who did a large
trade in idols and charms. Many of tho
wizards wero ventriloquists, and In this way
tho idols wero made to give answers to the
questions put to them. Cast was very clear
ly defined In the race. No one dare sit down
in the presence of tho chief without perrais
sion, which was very seldom granted. In
one case, where, in tho traveler's presence, a
nativo had neglected etiquette, severe pun
ithment was about to be inflicted, but tho
traveler saved the offender.
Authority was maintained by mutilation.
Hands, feet, care, noses wero mutilated, and
the natives did not seem to mind it much
One woman had cut off her own cars. This
woman was onoof Kasonga's wives; bebad
about 1,000 of them. Sho askod crmission
to tnutilato herself, and did it at once. The
body guard of lho chief was composed to a
great extent of mutilated pccplc, whoso af
fection for tho chief seemed In no way de
creased ; Indeed it would npjicar that tnuti
Iatlon strengthened their regard for their
chief. The name of tho Idol was KuDge a
Itanza, and profound reverence was shown
to it. Firo was obtained by friction from a
firo- block, and in one case the chief used the
shlnbone of one of the other chiefs whom he
had conquered. The dress of lho pooplo was
very simple, consisting of an apron. Mem
bers of tho royal family woro three largo
skins, and junior members of the family
woro aprons of green monkey skins.
The hair dressing of the people was curi
ous, varying moro with districts than with
rank. In some cases it was worked up into
four ring plaits crossing at tho top of tho
head like a crown, and surrounded at the
bottom by a band of cowries or otiier shells.
Skewers were Inserted in tho hair, ono of
which could be used ill tatooing. Tho poo.
pie were not a hairy race, but they man-
agedto grow their beards long, and plaited
them like a Chinaman's pigtail, usually
putting at the end of each a lump of mud
to weight it Some of the beards reached to
the waists. The women not having beards
to amuse themselves with were tatooed ex
tensively. Tatoolng generally commenced
at the age of seven and might be completed
at the ago of twelve or fourteen, which was
the age of marriage. Beautiful jiattcrns
were useJ, and the tatoomg was done in
1.00
If
raised cuts. Bohlcstimcs a husband, When
ho wis displeased with his wife, cut off
thesd raised pieces, and lho woman could
not appear again in public ; sho was not re
coived agaltl iu society until she Was retat'
tooed.
Ho saw ono of their woddlngs, which was
very curious. Tho festivities lasted several
days. A ring was formed bt tlio natives,
two men with big drums, played and the
people around danced. Tho brldo was
brought out, dressed Id foathers and other
finery, on lho shoulders of lho women. The
brido threw shells and beads around, for
which thero was a scramble, as tho posses
sion of them waa supposed to confer good
luck. Ultimately tho husband camo into
tho ring, and putting the brido under his
arm carried her off. Tho means of commu
nication was by drum signals. They had a
call on the drum for everybody's Hutrlo,and
they could ask questions and conVey Intelli
gence over hundreds of miles, and receive
answors almost immediately. In war,mc3
sagcSjwere constantly sent enormous dist
ances to bring up reinforcements or to stop
their coming, Tho mass of the people livod
in huts on dry land, but thero was ono or
two exceptions to this. Ho saw two lakes
on which the people were living In huts.
In ono placo tho people had covered tho
long grass growing in tho water with earth,
and on that had built their huts In tho
other tho huts wero built on piles. The
languago of tho country belonged to the
same broad fatally Which stretched across
tho largo belt of Africa traversed by htm,
and tho grammar was on tho samo princi
ples as the grammar of tho Swtcli. London
Times.
A KNAPSACK 11 It ILL.
" A. L. B." of Wcstfield, Ind., sends tho
following anecdote of his military ex
perience: Let mo givo you an anccdoto of somo of
tho jovial and lively boys whoso presenco in
ft company did moro to promoto health and
happiness than tho hospital quinine and
opium pills. In tho old 12th Indiana Reg
iment thero wero four or Ave of theso kind
of men, full of life and fun. Herd Is one of
Enoch Taylor's "Gouge games," as ho called
It. If Taylor 13 living ho knows it's true,
and I hopo ho will forgivo mo for using his
namo.
Whilo at camp in Darnstown, Md., in
1861, an order was issued for knapsack drill
every afternoon. Tho men wero required
to pack their clothes, etc., as if going on tho
march, and drill In that shape fortwo hours.
As tho regiment was forming, Col. W. II.
Link, riding down tho lino, observed a few
straws protruding from the lap of Taylor's
knapsacki The Colonel reined up.his horse
With: "What havo you got in your knap
sack 1"
" It's straw," says Taylor.
" What havo you got it in thero for ?"
" Why, Colonel, it ain't as heavy as
clothes."
'Go to your quarters, ntid to-mdfrot7 I
Want you in ranks with ovcrythlng you've
got. Do you hear?"
"AH right," says Taylor; "I always obey
orders ;" and ho walked to his tent. The
next day lid appeared in line with a knap
sack well stuffed, his overcoat and blankets
forming a roll about tho size of a ten-gallon
keg, and long enough to extend sis: inches
beyond his shoulders, each way, causing him
to occupy tho space of two men in the ranks.
Tho Colonel rodo down tho line, Taylor's
appearance caught his gaze, and ho halted
in front of him.
"What in thunder is tho matter with
you?"
"Nothing at all, Colonel," says Taylor;
"you told mo yesterday to bring everything
I had, and I've dono so."
Colonel "I should think you had."
Taylor 'Jc3' so."
Colonol "Do all them belong to you ?"
Tay lcr "Yes, but I forgot my frying pan;
it's down to tho tent."
Colonel "For God's sako go and get ltj
and when you do got it stay with it. Go to
your quarters I"
'All right I" .says Taylor, "I always obey
ordcri. I'll go and write to mother whilo
you drill and I'll tell her all about this, and
hereafter I don't aim to bo imposed on. I
can carry as big a buudlo as anybody and
uo straw in It."
A Stranga lilnufiliicu Policy.
Just you crowd a boy out of his seat
in the car, snub him at tho stamp window
In lho rost-offloe, or ignore his presenco in
tho crowd around a fallen street car horso
and he'll get even with you if ho has to sell
his skates and hand-sled to do It.
A Detroit lifo insurance agent lived to be
forty-flVo years of ago beforo he rcalilted this
fact. It so happened that in going up on
the car ha many times cneounterod a tow
headed boy about twelve years old. Ono
day ho lifted this boy off his scat to make
room for himself, and then added insult to
injury by calling him "Bub" and offering
his kueo as a scat. Tho boy went out on
tho platform and vowed that he'd hit that
agont hard If tho sign overcame right, and
he shod a few tears of indignation to clinch
tho vow.
Time sped along. The boy's father had
been "thinking somo" of lifo insurance, and
the agent heard of it and went for him. Ho
called at his office, his house, and nabbed
him on corners and in the cars, and the
citizen finally said he would take a policy
home, study its clauses, and return a final
answer. Tho tow-headed boy sat figuring
out his school examples one evening, when
tho father said:
"John, I want to hear how welt you can
read. I havn't got my glasses here, and
you may read this insurance policy to ine.
Head slowly, and don't skip the bard
words."
"You got it of that man who stood at tho
gate yesterday, didn't you 1" askod tho boy,
and.when satisfied on that point he felt tho
balmy feeling that crcciu Into a man's heart
when he's got the dead wood on tho fellow
who stole his hens. The old gent got his
feet to tho fire, leaned back in bis chair, and
tha lioy began:
' Witneascth, that tho Bang-bang Insur
ance Company," etc. When he he got down
to the proper placo he cleared his voice anew
and read:
."If the said person whose Ufa is hereby
Insured shall pass beyond tha settled limits
of the United States or Canada, or shall at
tend a pole raising, or caucus, or dog fight,
or -"
"What I" exclaimed the father, "does that
policy lor ma nie io go uown to ma caucus
a Year if Paid in Advance

and help lay eilt the bummers ! forbid mo
to bd present at a polo raising I"
"Or a (ldg fight," put in tho boy.
"A dog fight yes I That's a direct In
sult, that Is I That's as much as to say I'm
In tho habit ol patronising such things, nnd
I feel tho Insult I"
"Or, If it Is found that tho insured delib
erately, lied," continued tho boy, "or "
"Deliberately lied, ell I That's another
insult. They think I'd tell a bold lie, do
they?"
"And it Is expressly stipulated that no
bald-headed hian Who insures lb this com
pany shall use bar soap to wash his scalp,'
said tho boy.
"Does that policy- read that Wdy I Why,
It's a succession of Infernal personal insults!
Bar soap on my scalp I Why, I'd kill tho
person who undertook to soap-suds my
baldness! That insurance company must
bo a set of lunatics. AVhat other Insults
haye thoy there?"
"And tho insured snail go before a notary
public or justice of tho peace and mako oath
that neither of his parents haVo ever been a
regular itimato of a lunatic asylum for over
threo months In a yeer,"
"By gum 1" exclaimed tho old man as ho
put his foot down "that's rather too much.
I supposd that a lifo Insurance company has
a perfect right to protect itself, but when it
intimates Hint my father was a fool and my
mother a lunatic is more than I can stand.
John, fold that policy and put it In my
overcoat pocket I"
Tho neat morning tho low-headed boy
was OH tho eight o'clock train. So Was his
father. The lifo-lhsuranco agent got on at a
crossing, jammed tho boy'a hat over his
eyes as ho pushed ill, and seeing hie) "pa
tient'' nt tho lront end of tho car ho crowded
forward and said :
"Good mornldg. Glad lo see yoU look
ing so Well. Did tho conditions of tha policy
please you !"
"Mr. Blank," replied tho citizen, as ho
handed out tho document, "here's your
policy! Keep it! I don't wan't itl I
won't havo it."
"But ," began tho astonished and fro-

AN INDIONATIOX MKKTIKQ O.I SniTBOARD.
Tho different parU of a Bhip that had re
cently arrived from a long voyage, held a
convention tho other day, to inquire into
lho reasou why tho "boom" had come into
so much greater promlnenco and notoriety
of late than any other portion of tho vessel.
The main mast was chosen President of tho
meeting, nnd tho top mast Secretary, be
cause it has a pennon hand for just such oc
casions. In taking tho chair tho main most
said ho was astonished, as ho presumed his
mates were, to find that tho boom, an infer
ior portion of a ship's span, had been pro
moted over tho heads of thenl all. Thero
was nothing in the papers but boom, boom,
and ho would liko to know what it all
meant. Ho had himself stood up through
all sorts of weather and was about as square
rigged as a fellow could bo, but no such
honors had over been conferred upon him.
Ho had looked for somo words of disapprov
al from tho Captain, but not a syllable as
yet. "How," said ho, "can tho capstan it?"
"Perhaps," interrupted a fellow at tho
bow, "it is a joko on tho boom thoy aro
simply rigging it," but as ho was only n
figure head, anyhow, and half seas over, no
attention was paid to tho remark.
BoWsprit said ho hadn't much timo to
spar, but was willing to form ono of a com.
mittee of investigation to look into tho
thing. "If tho boom is anyways to blame
in tho matter," ha continued, why don't yo
anchor to tho bottom of thd sea and havo

to mako a gun-wale. His breast-hook fire

conclusion, "if anybody is going to super
sede the boom I nominate tho ship's Tim."
'Who Is tho ship's Tim?" yelled a score
of voices.
"Why, tho ship's timbers, of course," said
tho whcol, and never s'roke again.
A top gallatttsroyal (drunk) who had been
