THE DEACON'S; STRIKE.
BY FRANCIS OAKLBAF.
The deacon had struck something
at last. 'And, though the secluded
gulch- bad been miles away froth the
nearest post—though the deacon was
never known to have other companion
than his ragged, gray little burro--
the news had:spread. Tie wind, ruts
fling the green plumes or the spruce
above the deacon's head as he bent
over the glittering- quartz . !aid bare
by his pick, may have whispered it
abroad; or' the crested jay, furtively
watching him with keen, round eyes
from. the spruce's topmost boughs,
may have home it afar. At any vate,
the deacon's strike was a 'secret no
longer. • -
Singly, and by twos and threes,
the prospectors came, and, following
in their footsteps, came the booni.
Then, as if by
_magic, there. arose
Mountain Oity—a city of dug-outs
and canvas tents, straggling up and
down the narrow gulch and tern:ii- -
nating in a nucleus of alfew rudely
built log-houses-at its bead.
The deacon, wtiose original 'discov
ery had called into •e'xistenee this
city of a day, was in no WiPe elated
at his success, nor, after the fashion
of the wayward prospector; given to
conviviality thereat - He i.ltered not
a tittle of bis ways, but, • silent and
self-contained as ever,
pursued his
daily task of opening lead ivith the
same patient endeavor with which he
might have followed the plow over
the rugged hills of his native New
England State.
_ Regarding the deacon in _ some
sense as its sponsor, the camp had
not been unkindly disposed towards
the morose old , man. it had made
many. friendly and sociable efforts at
affiliation, but, being invariably re
pulsed, had desisted, as it became
tacitly _understood its life and_ his
held little in 'common.
•
For it was e,vident the deacon re
garded with - disfavor the recreations
of the lively camp. The enticing
strains issuing from the dinee-hou - se
stirred not his sluggish prise. lie
carefully avoided the velvet stroke
of the f'tiger's' Raw and 116 f -himself
aloof from the allurements of the
`Miner's Retreat,' where nightly a
coterie of choice spirits met for a
genial game of 'freeze-out,' and a so
ciable discussion of the affairs of the
cu p. .
IsTaurally the deacon's self elected
isolation drew upon him many corn
ments. Many were the wild and im
probable conjectures as to his history,
but as of this no man kneW one iota,
it continued to be wrapt in mystery
as inscrutable as th►e deacon's hard
favor ea face.
A little thrill of excitement ran
thrOugh the camp, therefore, when it
waa rumored the deacon had sold
the 'Green Mountain Bog' .for a mere
nominal sum;.';' was it allayed
when one morning the deacon packed
his little tent upon the gray burro
and took his departure:from their
midst. . . • .
Away from the haunts of man, in
the solitude of the hills, the deacon
seemed in a mitre congenial element.
His tent was finally pitchanear the
summit'of- the range on a, - rugged
mountain side, scarred and furrowed
by the hand of Time, like' the dea
con's own harsh countenance. And
here daily from sun to sun he prose
cuted, in his slow determined way,
his sear& for the hidden silver vein
beneath. •
Seated near his camp fire one eve- I
ring, he was quietly resting after the
labors of the day, 'distributing, as-was
his custom, bits of bread and bacon
to the gray burro. Suddenly the
burro pricked his long-ears, and the
deacon glancing around saw a man
approaching slowly from below. As
69 drew near h recognized, with
anything but ple asure, a young man
who had been the IF iest of the live
ly
ly camp. His dress, ifferent front
that' of the ordinary miner, was
stained and torn, and his! face, hag
-1 • .rd and sunken, was turned upon
fie deacon with eager expectancy.
WJM/ famishing,' . he exclaimed,
tly, dispensing with any saln
toilon. - 'Will you give me.sontething
t 0,., eat ?' - ,
~ F or reply the deacon silently tno- i
tidned to the viands still beside the
smoldering fire. The other waited
for no more, but set to at once. And
as the deacon noticed his tremulous
hand and the avidity with which he
ate, something like compassion crept
over his hard features. .
'From the camp?' he asked, at'
lengthy-as the other bad somewhat
eattsfied his hunger. •
!Yes. I left- three days ago. 1'
have eaten nothing since' till now.
My departure was rather sadden at'

yoaean judge,' he added,with a forced
laugh.
The deacon glanced at him inquir
ingly. The other avoided his gaze
and fixed his eyes in a sullen stare
upon the fire. After .a pause he con
tinued abruptly r in a tone of.tissumed
levity:..- •
'I. was invited to leave for the
good of the community by the Vigil
lance Committee.'
'Ah I' • exclaimed the deacon, with.
a .grim look.
'Yea,' the other continued, never
once id-rig his. eyes from the fire,
and speaking as though the words
were drawn from him forcibly: 'I
might tell you that it was a case of
Mistaken identity and all that—but I
won't. I've got a bad name in the
camp, and I don't say but what. I
deserve it. My' partner Was strung
for stopping the coach, but they
couldn't prove K on meow they only
told me to skip.'
'They couldn't prove it,' said the
deacon, shortly. 'But did you—'
'No, I did not!' "the other broke
in fiercely. . have been bad , enough,
hut not so bad as that. I told them
so, but they wouldn't believe it. I
tell you the same - , and I don't expect
you to, either. I have eaten and
rested, and now I'll go,' he added, in
a weary tone as he arose,, trembling
partly with excitement, partly with
exhaustion.
sai4 the deacon; 'where to?'
don't know , and I don't .care.'
And the utter - hopelessness of his
voice went to thS deacon's heart.
'Sit down,' said he, qui&ly, 'and
let. inn -
'hie other fell back into his place
by the fire and fixed his gaze once
more upon it. For a time neither
spoke, as the deacon absently con
tinued to feed bits tit' brOen bread
to the burro.
'Deacon,' the young man • said at
length, 'I don't expect any leniency
from you. And yet it was kind of
you to let the sit here and eat, and I
wish you i'ould believe me innocent
of this lost.'
. • -.
'Why should I not?' the- deacon
replied,. as much in self-communion
as in answer to the other. Then, 'in
his usual harsh
. nranner, he added,
'Perhaps you now - see, young man,.
the •Tolly . of the life you led over
there,' and nodded his head towards
the cutup. .
'Don't inoralize, - deacon—not to
Me, at least. It is too lite for that
now,' the other sullenly replied.
'Too late ! It is never too late
said the deacon, w'th energy.
-111.'s all very well tar. you to talk
that way, deacon,' said the other, de.
sgondently ; 'but then, you don't
know how hard it is for one to get
up after he's been down. ! _
'No I' said the deacon, in a curi
ously interrogatory tone.
'No,' the other replied, growing
warmer as he spoke. . ; 'and, then, you
don't know what temptations such
as myself have either, and you've
never had to go through what I have
—thrown out to shift for myself, for
my mother died when I was a child,
and my father—'
'Your father...?' said the deacon, in
quiringly, as the other stopped ab
fa
,'Do not speak of him I' he said,
vehemently, as he arose and walked
to and fto. 'lt's little enough I have
to thank him for. "Like father, like
-son'!" that's what I have to remem-
her, him by, for I've heard nothing
else about him since I can remember.
Ile was bad enough, I suppose. 1
never saw him, and I don't know;
maybe, after all, he wasn't as .bad as
I was told,' -he added, in a softer
tone. r
The deacon followed his nervous
movements with a-curious gaze, not
a Utile surprised at his vehemence.
'l'm not one to judge you, too se
verely, young man,' said be, as the
other reseated himself. 'What's, your
name ?'
'Amos Sethwell,' the other replied,
and, 'raising his eyes, saw tilde/L
-eon's fixed upon him attemively.
And may have been mere fancy on
his part, but as the fitful campfire
flared up brightly fot a moment, he
thought a curious spasm contracted
the rigid line of ,the deacon's mouth.
It, war ' s only for an instant, for the
deacon quickly averted his eyes and
turned them upon_ the peaks above
glinming softly in the light of the
rising moon. .
A long silence ensued. The young
man gazed despondently in the fire,
the deacon absently at the gleaming
peaks--so absently that it was plain
be saw them not. Far beyond their
snowy domes his thoughts bad wan
dered back to his native town, and a
party of wild young men. And, t h o'
it hai been long ago, it seemed but
yesterday as he. saw them disperse
and followed the footsteps of one re
turning home—followed him as be
entered the J empty' house, and saw
him take up a little note lying open
on the table which told him that his
wife, driven to despair by his disso
lute ways, had left his home forever,
And that henceforth their ways lay
separate, fur never did she wish Me
unborn child brought under his evil
I influence:
Perhaps it had needed some shock,
sharp and . Sudden like this, to check
the downward course of his life an]
rouse his better instincts. He was
not one, however, to steer a middle
course—be must be one thing or the
other— , and, as be shook the dust of
his native place" from his feet, so alio,
he cast away-the shackles of his ill
spent life, and, became instead a cold,
silent man, Shut 'up in his shell of
stern self-relintice. And so he re
mained through many a weary year,
of warelering Ito and fro,-until now .
he _Was a lonely and morose old man.
Perhaps the sight of this' younger
man, already started on the down-;
ward path, where he had been before;
perhaps his desponding words aid
the sullen despair written in his face,
or perhaps something more than all
these stirred the well °flaying kind
ness hidden so deep in the deacon's
lugged breast that no sign of it ever'
_reached his imPassible face. For,
when he had at length spoken, it waa .

'Deacon,' said .the other, slowly, as
he arose l 'I didn't expect any such
kindriesafroin you, Of all men. I-4-
I think you —= and, breaking off,
he hurried into the tent.-
Long atter the camp-fire had burnt
to ashes, the deacon still sat beside
it, with his head in his bands and
his eyes fixed on nothing. The gray
burro once or twice nibbled softly at
his sleeve but l elleiting no attention,
grazed slowly off. Then upon his
reverie broke the hurried breathing
of - the sleeper in thotent, Glancing
in. he saw him lying on the bare
ground with one arm under his head
and his face half covered by one slim
hand. Moved by a sudden impulse,
the deacon arose, raised the sleeping
head and placed his pillow under fi l l
and - covered him with a blanket with
with a touch so gentle that he never
stirred in his deep repose.
It was late when the tired sPeaker
felt a hand i.ipon his shoulder the
next morning, and, starthig up, saw
the deacon bent over him.
'I you have rested well. Come,
now, and have som'e breakfast,' he
said, in a kindly voice.
Their meal being concluded, the
deacon again addressed him, speak
ing slowly as If in pursuance of some
preconceived purpose.
'A mos, mine "is and hai - been a
lonely life fot many a year. It is a
hard life,: also; but such as it is I
will ask you. to share it with me.'"'•
,Do you really; mean to givens a
show, deacon P asked she other, with
a brightening tam.
do,' said the deacon, simply.
'Here's my hand upon it,' arid, ex
;tending his hand, he held the slim
one of the young man in an earnest
grasp.
From that day forward the twain
worked together on the rugged hill
side. The deacon never alluded to
the cause of their meeting, but, day
by day, set the force of an example
of patient, perserviug labor—an ex
ample' the other was not slow to fol
low. The deacon noted this with
silent satisfaction, and noted- also
how the healthful exercise in the
bracing mountain air filled -out the
hollows in the younger
_face, and
erased its marks of dissitlatiori.
Gradually the two waye drawn to
gether by a strong bond of affection—
all the stronger perhaps, from its
quiet undemonstrativeness, for the
young man became imbued with the
silent ways of the solitary old man,
and pnconsciously fell into them him•
self..
• Yet there were times when, -sit
ting at night by the fire before the
little tent the two spoke 'of the re
sults of their labors and their hopes
of "striking it," and of how, in that
event, their future Hies should be
shaped. For it was tacitly under
stood that they were to be spent: to
gether. At such times, too, the
young — man often spoke of his past,
dwelling with a pertinacity upon the
father whom he had never seen, and
always ending by paying in a soft
voice 'Re mighten't. have been so
bad-after To 'these restrospec
tions the deaCon always' listened in
.silence, sitting before the fire in his
old musing way, and - falling into fits
of abstraction which lasted, Jong after
the other bad ceased speaking.
'Amos,' said the deacon one even
ing, am einecting the final pay=
meat on the ‘Gieen Mountain Boy.'
ft ought to come on the conch day
after to-morrow,-and as we are run
ning short in the grub line, suppose
we go to the city, get the money,
and lay in a new supply P -
'As you will, deacon,' the other re
plied.
And so in the morning they_set:
out, driving the burro before them.
Towards evening,as they drew newt
'the city,' Amos begun to betray
signs of uneasiness.
'Deacon,' said he,
at lengtb,,,yoti
have never thought it. might get us
both into trouble if I was seen in the
city after—svhht.t to!ti yob the Brat
night, you remember - .
'True, boy,' the deacon 'replied, as
be stopped still.. .1 had forgotten
about it.' '
...,
'lt would be best, I think,' Amoi
continued, indicating the spot with;
his hand as he spoke, 'for me to camp
to-night in this little gulch off the,
trail. You can go on to'the city and .
I will await your return , in the worn
ir.' , • i
So they seperated and the deacon
went on alone. It was late when he
arrived ; the express.oftlee was stilt
°Oen, however, pending ' the arrival'
of the coach, then due. After haV
ing waited vainly for its coming far
same little time, he walked away and
44104 lodging for the night. The
next morning he found the city. . in
excitement The incoming coach
had been 'held up' the night before
by a single road agent, and the treas
ure bax rifled. of its contents, and
parties were even now in search of
the. depredator. Hurrying to the
expresso office, the deacon learned
that it 'was true, andlearned also his
expected package had been taken
with the 'rest. 7
The loss bore bard upon the deal
con, for it had been all he bad akeept
the little pow in his possession:
This", hosie.ver,. be bad expended in
provisions, land, packing ,tho burro';
set out to rejoin his companion.
Arrived at the spot where the two
had. parted he found no one. Vain
ly he shouted and waited ; there was
no response. - .. -

still he wu more shocked than stir..
prised, when at nightfall a party
came up t,he little trail with his part

• 'Denison: said the spokesman,. as
they gathered around the little tent,
'we brought him_here at his last re
queso.-for it's , a clear case against
him. He was caught, skulking
ibout the , trail this morning, and we
found this on him,' and the speaker
extended a package.
Mechanically the deacon took it
and saw It was still sealed, and also
that it was the package he bad been
expecting. Then in a _dazed way
he looked at his partner standing
with his-eyes fixed on the ground,
and theeitiksullen look on his face.
Raising his eyes be met the deacon's
for an instant, and read the i horror ,
in his face.
'I see you, too, have Judged me,' '
he said, a voice so' low as to be
nearly inaudible: 'Well, so be -it;
I can but die like a man and an in
nocent one, too ; for, deacon,' and
he faced the old Latin with a ~steady
look. 6 1 found that.package 'lying
in the trail this morning. I had got
tired orlwaiting and started' toward
the camp to meet you. When pick
ed it up I knew something was
wrong, and it flashed upon me to keep
out of sight, especially after what
had happened before. I -asked them,
to bring me here that I might tell'
you the truth, and tell you . alro 'l'

nothing, more to say,' he • added,
wearily 4 but his despondent face fell
once more upon his breast. •
Still the deacon nuver looked at
biro; but covered his face with a hand
that trembled in spite of himself.
'Well, deakin,' at length said the
bluff voice of the spokesman 'you see
how it is—a likely story ; but then,
of course, he wouldn't confess it.
This is the second time, too. The

and the speaker paused .ominously.
A low but determined murmur of
ansent mine from the others. The
deacon heard it, and his hand fell
from his face and grasped the breast
of his•flannel shirt convulsively, as
he turned and faced them. ,
'Now,' he said, in a low, firm voice,
`you know me. You know - that
never once have I left the straight
and narrow path to join in the abomi
nations over there,' pointing to the
camp.
'That's so, deakin,' the spokes
man, a little taken back at this ab
rUpt address. 'l%re ,all know you
have followed the straight trail, and
that your ways wasn't !exactly our

'Yes,' - said the deac o n ;your • ways
were not my ways. 'For, men, I
saw the folly of it all,-and had long
ago found out life was not given us
to be frittered away like that ; that
it was a terrible, earnest' thing to be

auditors still kept silence, held not

by the grim earnestuest of his. man

Those - who Attended • the: meeting
of the. Woman% Board of - MISMODO
at the Presbyterian rooms yesterday
were grieved and astonishe4 when
they listened to- the reading of a
very sensational letter from Miss
Maggie J. Dunbar, a Presbyterian
missionary, atatipned at present
Fort Wrangell, ; Alaska.. Thiough
the letter the author described the
terrible sufferings of several families.
old men and young chiltiren, recent
ly tortured to death for the alleged
crime of witchcraft; The victims, in•
eluding persona of , various ages, from
four to seventy years, were tried by
the heathen tribunals of thei place,
and sentenced to death. At Lock, a
portion of Alaska, were the 'ancient
population of the, place predominates
and- enforces ' their unwritten law,
which consistsof all the superstitions
their, ancestors found , leisure to de-
vise and hand down to their posteri
ty, a family found' guilty: of being
spiritual jugglers, of a type supposed
to bola league with the,devil, were
taken out and tied to trees. The
grandmother of the family was: tied
a large forest tree and left to starve.
After giving her salt water when
ever she ask that her thirst might be
quenched; the demons about the tree
finally hacked- her to death with
knives. The balance of the family
succeeded in breaking away from
their captors, and escaped by, plung
ing intoa dark, and to all 'appearan
ces, impenetrable forest filled with
wild beasts. These perseented peo
pie wandered about through the dark
recesses-of this wildertess, cold ,and
hungry until they could stand their
sufferings no longer, when they con
cluded to cross the enemy's country
under cover of darkness, and reach
if possible, Fort Wrangell, where
they kirew they would be safe in the
presence of a United States man-of
war. They reached the ocean and
took a canoe. In this :frail bark
they pursued their journey, hugging
the coast as closely as possible Anti'
they arrived at the fort, almost _dead
and scarcely able-to talk. The mis
sionary, who was walking on the
beach on the evening of their arrival,
saw the canoe land ; the craft con
tained an . old man and two children,
who related their frightful adventur
es and asked for protection. The
children were taken in themission
ary home of the.tort ; the two girls,
the letter states, looked rather odd
walking to the hqme along the beach
robed in blankets tattered and torn.
A little girl whom the missionary
ealls Georgia, only five years of age
and an orphan, resided with an aunt.
This aunt fell sick : one day, when the
child was accused of bewitching 'her
and "making her bad medicine." As
soon as this accusation was made,
the unfortunate little creature was
rocked up in a room, where she was
kept' three days , withtut food or wa
ter, and whipped unmercifully until
her body was literally covered with
discolored marks. The chief of the
Christianized communities heard of
the outrage and reported the matter
to the military authorities of the fort,
who" onenight visited the place where
the child was cohfined, mimed her
and took her to the missionary' home.
Both the cases described have been
reported to the captain of the man
of-war stationed at the fort, and the
savages it is thought will-ultimately
be punished.
"This week," says the writer,
"Mrs. McFarland took in* two inter
esting young girls who had fled from
Cape. Foi village, where some of
their friends had- been killed, for I
witchcraft." _The.-people of Alaska
-,have witchcraft as far
back in the past as their traditions
carry them. If a native doctor is
calledupon to administer medicine
to a patient and the patient fails to
recover with great suddeness, he ac
cuses the nurse or some other de
fenseless person with being a Witch
-and tampering with his herbs and
roots.' The person so accused is
promptly taken out and tied_ to a
tree. He is' starved for some time,
fed on salt water and then roasted
to death or '.backed in pieces with
knives. . When an epidemic or any
other calamity prevails, all Abe old
woman and defenceless children,
that can be caught before they have
time to take to the woods are mur
dered, according to the regular forms
approved by the traditionary les
non scripta of the country. There
is certainly a great demand for mis
sionary work iii,such a country. In
fact, in any country where old, gray
haired women and little children
are starved, whipped, roasted alive
and fed on salt water,
there is plenty
work that ought to be accomplish-'
ed ia the interest of humanity. The
witcheraitoutrages in Alaska, it is a
strangetact, are spasmodic, and oc
curr onlY in periods. When'ona one-per
r'
son is accused, the chances are that
alleged witches will be discovered in
great number all over the country.
-Natiltem: nonsense rather," asked
Johnny, "what is a log?" "3 log, my
son," replied Brown, stealing a hasty
glance at Mrs. Brown to see if she was
listening for his answer, "a log, my son,
is a big piece of wood or timber. Why
do you ask. Johnny ?" "It tells in this
story about heaving the log, and it says
the , ship went fourteen knots ati — licrar.
What does it mean by knots, father?"
"Knots, Johnny knots? Why, have
you men a log—almost always covered
with knots:—haven't you? Well, that's
what it means—fourteen of them—the
ship got by fourteen of them in an hour.
That's all, Johnny," said Brown, -- with a
sigh of relief that he had got out of it so
easily,—Boston Tra script..

Sunken Forests.
TUE ANCIENT CEDARS BURIED BE-
NEATU NEW JERSEY SOIL:
Dennisville, four . miles south of
Woodbine, the latter on the West
Jersey Railway, is a sprawling, dingy
township of 3,000 inhabitants, with
its. central group of houses on a
causeway between two great swamps.
The wet Janda around are covered
partly by solid growths of white ce
dar, partly by thick water weeds,
and partly by stumps and fallen logs
of immense size. These are only the
surface indications of the wealth be-
The swamps, covering ten
%Tire miles, are underlaid with
sunken forests, which
,grew hundreds,
and perhaps thousands, of years ago.
These seeming worse than barren
wastes, for which the. sharpest of
Yankee farmers world deem fifty
cents an acre, a swindling price, have
been worth by the acre their hun
dreds of dollars. They have turned
their own desolatiod into a hive of
industry, built up a lively village,
and made an addition, hs °
lecritimate
as it unique, to the wealth of the
country. -
The huge trees which lie under the
swamp to unkncwn depths are of the
white cedar, -an evergreen,. known
scientifically as the cupressus thyoi
des. They' grew years ago in the
resh water, which ill necessary for
heir sustenance,-and when in time,
Eether by a subsidence of the land or
sc of - the seas, the salt water reach
ed them, they died in great numbers.
But many of them, ere they died; fell
over as living trees, and were covered,
slowly:by the deposits of muck and
peat *tell fill the swamp. These
trees that fell over by the roots care
known as windfalls to distinguish
them • from the breakdowns. The
trees which broke off are the ones
most sought for.commercial uses,
and they are found and worked as
follows : The , log-cligger enters the
swamp with a_ sharpened iron rod.
Ile probes in the soft soil until he
strikes a tree,.probably two or three
feet below the- surface. In a few
minutes he finds the length of the
trunk, how much still remains firm
wood, and at What place the' first
knots; which Will stop the straight
split necessary- fo shingles, begin.
Still using his prod like the divining
rod of a magician he manages to se
cure a chip, and by the smell knows
whether the tree is a windfall or
breskdown. Then he inserts in the
mud a saw, like that used by ice
cutters, and saws through the roots
and muck until the log is reached,
The top and roots are thus sawn off,
a ditch dug over the tree, the trunk
loosened, and soon the great stick,
sometimes five or six feet thick, rises
and floats , offs water, which quick
ly fills theilitch , almost to the - sur
face. The log is .next sawn into
lengths two fee, long, whiCh are split
by hand and worked into shingles,
as well as into the staves_used for
pails and tabs. The wood . has a
coarse grain and splits straight as'an
arrow. The shingles made from it
last from sixty to seventy. years, are
eagerly sought for by builders in
southern New Jersey, and command
in the market a„ muchhigher price
than the ordinary shingles made of
pine or chestnut.. In colorthe wood
of the;white cedar is a delicate pink,-
and it has a strong flavor; resembling
that of the red cedar used in making
lead pencils. The trees once fairly
buried under the swamp never be
came waterlogged, as is shown by
their floating in the ditches as soon
as they are pried up, and, what is
more singular, as soon as they rise
they - turn invariably underside upper
most. These two Nets are mysteries
which science. has tins far left so
The men who dig the logs up and
spliit them earn their money. The
work is hard, exacting, requiring
lusty manual labe4, skill and experi
ence. Owing to the fact that the
swamps are soft and treacherous, no
machinery can be used, and long
stretches of mud and water must be
covered with boughs and bark *fore
the shingles can reach the village
and elyilization. The number of the
tree which lie below the outface of
the -ten square miles of .sw..mp` is
almost countless. In "many places
the% probe wilt be sunk many. times
liefore it fails to strike a log. Ac the
workmen only dig for those near the
' surface, and none but the best trees
are selected, it is certain that only a
small fraction of the logs have been
exhumed since " 1812, when the indus
try first sprang - up. The sunken
forests lie in all shapes. Sometimes
the trees are found parallel, as tho'
a wind blowing from one quarter had
felled them, but' usually they Ho
pointing in every= direction, and
when, as occasionally happens, the
wet soil sink or dries, the mighty
trunks are seen piled upon each other
as in a Maine , log jam. What are
seen, too, are ' but ' the uppermost
strata of piles upon piles unseen be
low.—florthweidern Lumberman.
