SATURDAY EVENING, JAN. 8, 1881.
Back weed's Jollity.
Clnlstmas Day in a Cabin in One el
the
back Counties sf Missouri.
' M. Quad" in the New Yerk Evening Express
It used te be the saying in the army :
" When a soldier is riding a hess, and the
horse plays, the soldier is played."
When tiiy mule played out after an all
day's ride through a Missouri snow storm I
dropped off into snow a feet deep, and
mere coming, and felt a bit discouraged.
It was in a back county, if there are any
b.tek counties in that state, and the settlers
had located their cabins just six miles
apart te a red. When I set out te walk,
and pull the mule le beet, he looked up at
the sky, around at the weeds, and keeled
ever in despair. I was trudging along in
the snow ever my beet tops, thinking hew
much easier it was te drown than te freeze
te death, when the sound of a liddle reach
ed mc between the snowflakes, and I dis
covered that I had reached a six-mile
cabin.
"Come it: old hes," tang out a voice as
I fell against the deer.
When I opened it I was in a room about
sixteen feet square the only one in the
house The big iheplace gave light, and
the furniture was homemade. A gaunt,
long-haired pioneer sat en a shake down
bed, playing the liddle; a gaunt, slim
woman was dancing in the centre of the
lloer, and several cliiMicn vere scattered
around as spectators.
"Keep it up, ole woman 'devening
stranger ; be through in a minit ; lind a
cheer go in for all yer worth, Jlary ! "
called the liddlcr,as I shut the deer behind
me.
As I walked te the fne one of the chil
dicn wheeled up a block of weed, and the
father lemarked :
"Pewiiful storm outside, s hanger
keep them feet gwine, old lady you
childieu wipe off your mouths and sing
with mc :
' I vrc forty niile- lrein Pike,
And the read iva1. lull et snow,
ud the wind w.i gettiu' ready
t ur te hump itbclfaud blew,
"Faster new change oil' kick higher
up with them hoofs round with ye
hoe 'cr down ladies change that's all
stranger, howdy !"
I was made at home.
"Wall, new, but this seems te be the
hand of Pievidcnce," as I dicwuptethe
tabic. "Here ye aie, snowed in, and here
wc are check full of pervishuns aud hap
piucss, and to-merrer is Christmas. Strang
er, I'll show ye mere high steps, mere
hoots and yells, mere music and fcastiu',
and daucin', and gittin' up st'rs to-merrer
thau ye ever saw in all yer born days i
Oie woman, if this ain't the Lord's dein's,
then I'm a petrified reptile, and never get
religion.''
"Uen, yer right '." added the wife as
she pouted out another cup of burnt corn
cell'ee. " We is a hes-pit-ablc family.
When we can't wheap'er up fur a ati anger
en Thanksgiving or Christmas or Xew
Year's nobody eke need try."
After supper one of the boys took the
liddle and the test of the family limbered
uj for Christmas. When this process was
ended it was time te go te bed, aud the
old man said :
"Xevr, then, ye kin see that we hain't
bilin'iieh. Here's two beds, and nine of
us. Me and the old woman take one, you
take t'ether, and if the childieu can't keep
warm aline the the I'll lien their bleed
with a gad. Git right into bed, stianger,
aud if the children git te lighlin' in the
night heave yer beets at 'cm." ,
If the childicnget into a row I didn't
hear them. It didn't seem as if I had
slept an hour, hen the pioneer shook me
by the shoulder and called out :
"Say, stranger, daylight has arreve,
and Chtislnias am here. Git up, and pre
par te jine in the festivities.'
The suew was four feet deep and still
coming; but the piespect delighted my
host, who cracked his heels together and
exclaimed :
"If this hain't Divine Providence biled
down, then I don't like coon and corn.
Yeu childieu, step that nuarrcling.
Themas .Iclleisen, did you forget te say
yer pray cis '. If you did, I'll wollep ye
like blazes !"'
Wc had corn meat, corn dodgers, apple
! sauce and eeU'ee for breakfast. Seats were
found for the pioneer and myself, and the
mother and children steed up. There was
a long aud embairassing pause after we
were'all leady, and finally the inau said :
"Stianger, 1 was srivin" ye a chance te
threw yei "self en a blessiu', but ye didn't
tumble. (Jlil woman, reel eif suuthin'
puity."
Site closed her eyes and uttered the fel
lowing as if she had lepeatcd it a thousand
times : "New 1 lay mc down te sleep, and
bless this meat and bread and sitss. We
are thankful for what we've get, and net
iealousef our betters. Keep us in geed
health, make coons plenty, and cause us te
escape the itch and measles. Amen !"'
When the tabic had been clcaied away
the pioneer and wife held a consultation in
a corner, aud when it ended the man ap
proached and asked : " Stranger arc yc
vrillin te help us make this a whoepin' old
day?"
"Yes."
"Geed ! As a family we are 9!) percent,
en a rough aud tumble. I'm about twice
yer size and heft, and it wouldn't be a fair
show, but the old woman is a pretty even
match, and she's just achin' te lay ye en
yer back !"
" But I never wrestled with a woman in
my lite "'
" Well, it's a geed fine te begin. She's
wiry and quick, and she'll lay ye if she
can. Stand right up, stranger, and de yer
level best, te oblige me."
I obliged. The situation was new aud
novel, aud in twenty seconds I was thrown
ever one of the shake-downs with a crash
t!.at jarred the house. The women cracked
her heels together and crewed lustily, the
children laughed, and the pioneer helped
me up with the explanation :
" Stranger, she's practiced this for ten
years, aud she'll dewa any man iu this
county 'ecpt mc. I knewed hew it would
be, but am much eblcegcd ler your great
kindness. The jiull family will new swarm
for their paternal dad."
I retreated te a coiner, and the old
woman aud her six children made a rush
for the father. They were seven te one.
They attacked him en all sides with great
viaer, and were picked up aud Hung ten
feet without being a bit discouraged. They
finally get him foul and brought him down,
aud as he lay en his back he observed :
"Children, ye may well feel proud ever
this. It shows that yc are healthy and
full e' pluck, and that the itch has no biz
ncss in a family like this."
We had hickory nuts, popcorn, cider aud
apples for lunch,and at dinner wc had bear
meat, pumpkin pic, roast woodchuck, ap
nlebutter and cinzcibread. After the
meal a half-tame bear, about a year old,
was brought in, the iloer cleared, and a
grand hugging match took places. The
old woman led off. Standing face te face
with the cub, he hugged and she squeezed.
It was nip and tuck. She sighed and
coughed and he growled and strained ;
but at last lie whined iu token that his
ribs could stand no mere. Then the two
big boys tackled him, but Bruin laid them
both out.
After the bear wc had a jumping match,
in which the old woman beat the crowd.
Then followed a target-sheet, in which
every one beat me. Then the bear and the
deg had a bout, aud the deg was used up.
Iu the evening we had a dance, played old
sledge and drank het cider, and as we get
ready for bed the old woman read seven or
eight lines from a battered Bible, and the
man 'knelt down in all seriousness aud
prayed :
"This'cie day has dtawed te a close,
and we are one peg nigher te the grave. A
stranger cum along and we took him in.
We've fed en the fat of the land, had a
bustin' old time and expect te sleep like a
lead of brick. Keep us from grewin
pizen mean, continue our wkoepm' geed
health, and icsarve plenty of room in
heaven for us all. That's about all, enless
ye want te put it into the mind of the
stranger te offer me his watch even up
for mv old mule. Amen !"
A Connecticut ktery.
A man in rather indiffeient ciicutn
stauccs, surrounded by a large family, be
ing entirely out of meat, had recourse te
the shecpfeld of a neighbor (a wealthy
farmer) for relief. The neighbor having
a large fleck of sheen, did net perceive he
had lest any until ene of the finest of the
Heck, very laigc and fat, was mising,
and counting his sheep he found he had
lest several. Unable te account for this
extraordinary less, he teselved a few
nights after, te watch. About midnight,
he observed an uncommon disturbance
among the sheep, by the sudden appear
ance of a man dressed iu disguise. Curi
osity, as well as te observe the conduct of
the person se as te lind him out, induced
him te be still. In the fleck theie was a
ram with which, it scorns, the man was in
the habit of conversing, as if he had been
the actual owner of the sheep.
"Well, Mr. Ham,' said the nocturnal
visitant, "I have come te buy another
sheep ; have you any morn le sell?"
Upen which he replied himself, as in the
person of the ram :
"Yes, I have sheep te sell."
By this time the owner of the sheep per
ceived him te be one of his neighbors.
"What will you take for that fat
wether?'' says the purchaser.
" Four dollars," says Mr. Hani.
"That is a very high price," says the
man, "but, as you are se geed as te wait
en me for the p ip, I think I will take him.
Well, Mr. Kam," continues the honest
sheep buyer, "let us see hew many sheep
I've bought of you."
4 If I am net mistaken,'' says Mr. Ham,
"this is the flfth."
He then went te cast up the amount of
the whole ; and, after giving Mr. ltam a
polite invitation te call en him for the pay
and bidding him geed night, led the
wether home, while the owner lay laugh
ing at the novelty of the scene, as highly
gratified as if he had received ample pay
for the whole.
A few nights afterward, when he :-up-pescd
his neighbor was nearly out, of mut
ton, he caught the old ram and tied a little
bag under his neck, aud placed a piece of
paper between the horns, en which he
wrote, in large letters : " I have cyme
for my pay 1" Under the line he footed
up the full amount of the live sheep, ex
actly as his neighbor had done, a befeic
related; he then took the ram te his neigh
bor's house, where he tied him near his
deer and went home.
When the neighbor arose in the morning
he was net a little surprised t- lind a
sheep tied te his deer; but it is beyond
words te express his astonishment when
he found it was the old ram with which
he had been dealing se extensively in mut
ton, with his c n and en his forehead : and
the amount of the live sheep in.nle out, as
he had done a few nights befeic iu the
person of the mm.
Suffice it te say, he obtained the money,
and after tying it. up iu the bag. and tear
ing the paper fiem his horns, he set the
ram at liberty, when he immediately ran
home jingling his-.money, as if proud of
having accomplished the object of his
cirand, te the no small gratification of the
owner.
The Dearth or Revivals.
New Yerk Independent. I
One who reads carefully the rcceids of,
the churches'iu our religious piessis struck '
by the dearth of the intelligence of icvivals
all ever the country. It is tuie that wc
de net expect the chief spiiitual liatvcati
till a month or two later; but thus far)
haidly a case of special awakening is j
recorded in these denominational papjts j
whose chief pleasuie il N te tepert tee
work of Ged " Spirit. Th's is ccitaiuly a
matter of concern, and is iu decided cen-j
tiast with the fa'ts as they weie four en
live years age. ,
This is partly explained, yet only partly,
by the growing fait'ifulnes-. of the church
te its children. Fer this the Sabbath
-i.:..ii.. : 4i.',.,.,...; 'riwn wiwi
arc responsible ler the religious training
" 2 e .-?
of our children, parents and teachers,
mere and mere understand that they
should seek the eaily conversion of these
under their charge. Se accessions te the
church arc new in very large part out of
the Sunday school. These come net
through special revival excitements, but
from "the healthier ordinary methods of
divine grace. Thcic is in very many of
our churches in all that are trained te a
proper sense of religious duty a constant
accession, at almost every communion sea
son, of young members. It is an expected
thing that the children of the church shall
be converted and make public profession of
their faith. Pastors aud superintendents
will constantly lepertiu the meetings of
the executive efliccts of the church in
which its interests are disciuscd that this
child and that seems te be a Christian aud
should be encouraged te come into the fel
lowship of the church. Fer this reason,
because they less need them, revivals arc
net se much looked for in our best-disciplined
churches as they wet e in the dajs
when one "was expected every seven yeais
a period when the church was expected,
like a comet, te blaze out into sudden
.brilliancy and activity as it approached its
central Sun, and then as suddenly te dis
appear from view, while drawing into its
chilled anil frozen mass the train that had
followed it. We are new learning that a
church should rather shine like a planet,
with a steady, unditnmed effulgence.
But this does net cover the whole' duty
of the church. It net only has te care for
its own household, but te convert these
who arc net regular attendants te its or
dinances. The field is the world, and net
the few families of theso already gatheted
in. And, as things new go, the outsiders
are net easily reached by these ordinary
means of grace. They de net go te church
or te Sabbath school. They wait for some
snecial excitement or attraction which
shall draw them within the sound of the
gospel. Fer such as these it is proper and
it new seems necessary, that wc should
work by ether means ; that there should
be special evangelistic services, such as the
early apostles nelu every where, te compel
them te come in, that Ged's house may
be full. It will be most unfortunate
if our churches de net recognize this
necessity and' provide for it. In our East
ern states there has been no general re-
vival interest since the campaigns of
Meedy and Sankey. Our Presbyterian
and Congregational churches have had the
past year very small additions, tuose in
the Presbyterian church being less than in
any ether year since the reunion. Statis
tics of the Congregational churches iu
Connecticut, lately prepared, show that
the additions have been hardly greater
than the losses by death and removals.
These facts should arouse our churches,
before closing this week of prayer, te re
newed consccratieu and effort. The church
cannot stand still. It must go forward,
or it falls back. Let our prayer be: "O
Lord ! reviye thy work."
Geerge Eliet's, Life.
The Insanity or her Mubaml, Mr. Cress A
Letter from Herbert spencer.
The notices of the Londen press upon
the death of Geerge Eliet add little te
what has been published here. The A'r
antiner tells of the insanity of her husband'
of which no previous public montieu lias
bceu made. It says : " It seems but littic
mere than a year since wc lest Geerge
Henry Lewes, her first and most trusted
counselor and companion, aud hardly a
twelve month since the world learned with,
perhaps, koiue degree of surprise, that
she had married a gentleman of the
Stock Exchange named Cress. While
they were en their wedding trip it is no
ti'-e new tocenceal the sad facts he lest
control ever himself at Venice, and threw
himself fi em the balcony of their resi
dence. Happily, the sea aud net the
ground received him and he survived, but
only te be placed in a maisen tie. mute.
Bravely Mrs. Cress set herself te f.icp her
new lonely life, but the struggle, net sur
passed in intensity by that of any of her
heroines, did net last long, and she has
new gene, at the age of CO, te the rest that
must have come te her as a relief."
The following letter from Herbert Spen
cer was published in the Louden ifaiet :
" Though, as one among these intimate
fi lends most shocked by her sudden death,
I would willingly keep silence, I feel that
I cannot allow te past a serious error con
tained in your biographical notice of Geerge
Eliet. A positive form is there given te
the belief which has been long current,
that I had much te de with her education.
There is net the slightest foundation for
this belief. Our friendship did net com
mence until 1851, a date several years
later than the publication of her transla
tion of Strauss, and when she was already
distinguished by that breadth of culture
and universality of power which have
since made her known te all the world."
The Slimdard gives some reminiscences
of her eaily literary life. " Fer 20 years,"
it says, the name of Geen;c Eliet has been
before the public. Adam Bcde was pub
lished in 1809, and the only clue te its au
thorship was the announcement en the
title page that it came from the same pen
as the Scenes et Clerical Life,' which had
previously appeared in IHackicoed's Mag
azine. Several claimants te the honor of
the production presented themselves.
Such i in pesters are the common-places of
literary history. Sir Walter Scott was
asked by an acquaintance te congratulate
him en his identity with the 'Great Un
known,' who had written 'Waverly.' The
masterpiece of Akcnside, Sheridan and
Thompson were appropriated by Grub
street highwaymen. Heed had some diffi
culty in establishing the fact that he
wrote 'The Seng of the Shirt,' and
mere recently there were thrce candidates
in the field for the laurels which belonged
te Mr. Lynn Linten as the author of
'Jeshua Davidsen.' The pretender in the
case of 'Adam Bede, whom it ultimately
became necessary for Messrs. Blackwood
te expose, was a Mr. Jeseph Liggins. of
Xueaten. Strangely enough he had his
supporters, and a Warwickshire clergyman
declared that in his part of the world
every one net only knew that Mr. Lig
gins was the creator of ' Adam Bede,' but.

characters. It was net for some little
time afterward that the nanie of Geerge
Eliet became generally known, and it was

A coleied man named Bounty Smith,
living up en Auteiuu street, was before a
iustice of the peace yesterday foicneon
I charged with the larceny of lifty cents'
worth of lire weed from a white man liv-
i ing next deer. The prosecution had a
citcumstantial case. Seme ene was heard
at the weed pile in the night. There
I weie tracks in the snow leading directly
1 ti the defendant's house. The defendant
was iu possession of weed exactly like
that missed from the pile, aud he atinnt
ted that he had net nuichascd any weed
this fall. The defendant said he wished
te lie sworn in his own eviiiuuve, aim
alltr nc had taken the stand lie began:

skrewed out sedat my wife had te feed me
wid a spoon. War I in shape te go out an'
steal weed ?"
" Ge en."
" Well, 'long about dark de ole woman
said de last stick of weed war gene, 'an
we went te bed te keep warm. Could I
go out when I war in bed V"
" I guess net."
" Sat tin I ceuldu't. When I remember
ed dat we had wc had no weed for dc next
day, I went te prayin dat some rich man's
heart migUt be opened te charity. Fust
I knewed dc sticks ob weed began te hit
de deah, an' de e!c woman scrambled out
and fetched them iu. If any man robbed
dat weed pile, it war an angel who was
sent te help me."
" But you forget the tracks iu the snow.
They were just the size of your beets,"
44 Track ? Was dey any tracks ?"
44 Yes, there were several."
44 Well, dat'snuflin against mc, as I sec.
I s'pect de angel had te stan' 'longside the

Twe of the jurors seemed te take this
view of the case and the result was a dis
agreement. Wc notice that Tem, Dick and Harry are
new appearing with their Grandfather's re
cipes for Coughs, etc.. and seeking a fortune
through advertising, but the people knew the
value et Dr. Rail's Cough Syrup and will take
