Troubles of a Night BY JOBI Alt ALLKN'8 WIPB. T 1IIEM UAT8 wan oiful. My lumband Josiali, had been up and driven cm nwny, and I Lad jest got Into a nap when Josiah waked me up groanln. And acz ho, "Thera d.trned cats aro at it again." Wall net I, " U necdnt ewcar bo If they bo" I listened a minute and see I " it aint cata" Seihc, "itlz." 8e I, JoHiah AUeu.'I no better it aint cats. " Wall what is it, se ho, " if it haint" I ot up on end ov the bed, and puah'd back my tiito cap from my left car and liKtened and sez I, It is a akordeon" " How kum a akordeon under our win der" Reas ho. "Scz I, 'it in Auguatus Pccdick acranadin Tirzah and he lino got under the wrong winder." He leajied out ov bed and started for tho door. Sez I, ' Jobiah Allen kum bavk'hero this minute sez I, do u realize ureknndishun, sez I u aint dressed." He seized hiB hat from the buro and put it on his lied and went on. Sez I, "Josiah Allen if u go to the door in that kondwhun ill m-osikute tt. What do u mcen actin so to nite ? sez I, u wuz young once urcsolf. " I wuznt a konfounded fool, if I wuz young" sez ho. Sez I, " kum back to bed Josiah Allen 1 do u wunt to get the Peodicks'es and Dobbs'eB mad at u. I should think n wud be aHhamcd sweat in and actin as u hev to nite, and sez I, u will got ure detb of cold standing in there without ure kloso on. kum back to bed this minute Josiah Allen'' It aint ofn I set up, but when I do Josiah knows I will be miuded, so finaly he took off his hat and kum back to bed, and there we had to lay ana listen. Not 1 word could Tirzah hear, for her room is clear to the other end ov the house and such a time as I had to keep Josiah in the bed. The first ho played wus what they call an involun tary, and I konfess it did sound like a cat; before they cut to spittin and tearin out fur, p no they'l go on kinder nielankoly, He went on in that wa fer a length ov time which I cant set down with any sort of akuracy. Josiah thinks it was about 2 hours and a 1-3. 1 myself dont believe it wuz more than 1-4 ov an hour. Finaly he broke out singin a tune, the korus ov which wnc O think of me O think of me. No danger ov our not thinken ou u" sez Josiah " no danger on it." It wuz a long peece and he played and sung it in a slow and affection manner. He thcn'played and sung the foltering: Kum oh kum with me. Miss Allen The inoon Is Deeming, Oh Tirzah kum with me The stars are gleemlng All around Is bright With beauty teeming Moonlight hours In my opinion lz the lime for love. My skiff Is by the shore. And a good many more linen. He then broke out into another piece the chorous of which wuz, Curb oh curb thy bosom's pain I'll kum again 1 11 come again. "No a won't," sez Josiah, "u wont never get away, I will get up, Samanthee" Sez I in low but awful accents, "Josiah Allen if u make another move I'll part with n," sez I " it does beet all how u keep ac tin to nito, haint it as hard fer me as it iz fer u ?" Sci I "do u think itlzeny kum fort for me to lay here and bear it?" Sez I, " that iz jest the wa with u men, u haint no more patience than nothin in the world u wuz young once yourself." "Throw that in my face acin willu? What if I wuz ! Oh do hear him go on' sez he shaken bis list, " hear him agin ' curb oh curb thy bosoms pain' If I wuz out there my young feller I would give u pain u couldnt curb so easy though it might not be in your bosom." Soz I, " Josiah Allea u have showed more wickedness to nite than I thought u had in u" Sez 1, " wouldu like to have ure pasture and Deacon Todd and Sister Graves, here ure revengeful throats ? if wuz layin helpless on a sick bed would u be thrown your arms about and shakin uro fist in that way ?" Sez I, " it scares me to think a pardner of miuo should keep actin as u have, sez I u have full 2 cents in my estimation to nite." " Wall" sez he, what kumfert is there in his prowlin round here, makin two old folks lay all nite in perfect agony" "It haint much after midnite, and if it wuz," sez I, in a deep'and majestic tone "J)o u kttlculate, Joslali Allen, to go tluougli life without any trouble? if u do, u will find yourself mistaken." Sez I, " Do be still." "I wont be still, Samantlia." 1 Jest then ho begun a ncu piece, durin which tho akoidenn sounded the most niel- ankolly and enst down it had as yet, and his voice wuz solemn and uffectin. I never thought much ov Augustus I'eedick, ho is Thomas Jefl'ei sou's ngn, about 17, his moiiKtash is if possible thinner than hixeri, I should say whiter only that is a impos sibility. . lie is jei-t the ntiO when he wants to be older, and when folks are will in he should, for u don't want to call him Mr. I'eedick, and to cull him bub as u nlwnys have, ho takes as a dudly insult, lie thinks lie is in love with Tirzah which, is jest as bad as long as it lasts, ez if he wuz Jest as painful to him and her. As 1 said he sung these words in a mournful and effec tin manner. Ho didnt sing but 1 more piece after this, I don't remember the words for it wuz a long piece. Josiah insists that it wuz as long as Miitons Paridise Lost. Sez I " dont be a fool Josiah, u never read it." Sez he, " I hev hefted the book and no the size ov it and I know it wuz as long if not longer". Sez I agin, in a kool kollccted manner " Don't be a fool Josiah, there wuzzent more than 25 or 30 verses at tho outside." " I dont remember tho words but tho korus of each vorse wuz, Oh 1 1 languish for thee Oh ! 1 1 languish tor thee Wherever that 1 be Oh, oh I oh 1 1 am langiiishln for thee I am lan- guisnin lor me." As I Red, I never sot much store by Au gustus Pcedick, but truely everybody haz their strong pints, there wuz quavers put in there into them "olis !" that can never be put in again by anybody even Josiah lay motionless listcnin to em in a kind ov awe. Jest then wo herd Thomas Jefferson speakin out of the winder overbed " My musikel friend havn't u languished cnuff for ono nite? Because if u have, father and mother and I, bein kept awak by other serenaders the forepart ov the nite, will love to excuse u will thank u for ure labers in our behaff and love to bid u good evenin: Tirzah bein fast asleep in the other end ov the house. But don't lot me hurry u Au gustus if u haint languished cnongh u keep rite on a languishin I hope I haint bard hal ted onuff to deny a young man and a nabcr, the privilego ov languishin." I hurd a sound of footsteps on tho grass under the winder, fullered sceniinly instan taneously by the rattlin ov the bol d fence at tho extremity ov the garden. Judgin from the sound he must have got over the ground at a rato seldom equilcd and nover outdun. A button wuz found under the inder in the morn in bust off we suppose by the impasioncd beets of a 2 ardent heart and a 2 vehement para ov lungs exercised 2 much by the boldness and variety ov the quavers durin the last time. The Strango Story of Mart'n Guerre- A1 BOUT the middle of the sixteenth century, Martin Guerre, a young Biscayan, married Berthande de Rolg, a girl of Artigues, as distinguished for good sense as for beauty. The newly-united pair were in comfortable circumstances, being in social rank above the peasant class. They were a harmonious couple, the only drawback being that they had no children for several years. In the tenth year, how. ever, a son was born, whom they named Sanxi. Not long afterward Martin quar reled with his father about some corn, and the dispute became so bitter that he con cluded to go away for a time until the pa ternal anger should cool. He did not ex pect to bo absent long, but eight years had passed away before be was heard of, his wife enduring his absence with exemplary patience. At the expiration of the above-mentioned period a person appeared who claimed t be Martin Guerre, and was recognized as such by his wife, her relatives, and by the people generally. His protracted desertion of his family was forgotten and forgiven, and everything went on harmoniously for three years, during which two children were born ta Berthande, one of them, however, dying soon after its birth. The so-called Martiu managed his affairs ener getically, selling land and doing other bus iness which full in his way. After a while, from reasons that are not fully set forth, Peter Guerre, an uncle of Martin, became satisfied that the man wob not Martin. Othor residents of the vicinity came to the same conclusion, aud at length found ground for convincing Berthande that she had been shamefully imposed upon. Tbe so-called Martin was arrested and taken before tho provincial judge. Ho denounced his accusers as wicked conspira tors, saying that Peter Guerre had fabrica ted the charge to get possession of his projci-ty, and had drawn iu Berthande through tho weakness of her understanding. He gave a clear aud circumstantial account of tho reasons which led bim to go away and prolong his absence. He assorted that he had been in the French and Span ish armies during tho period, and showed that, notwithstanding the changes that in creased ago and exposure to tho weather had made in his appearance, he was at once recognized by his wife, Peter and other people who had known him. Ho related minutely tho circumstances of Martin Guerre' marriage; described his father in law, mother-in-law, and tho guests at the nuptials, and narrated other incidents iu his life. Berthande, buing called to the stand, cor roborated everything to which he hnd tes tified. Slio inentionid one circumstance that'liud happened to . Martin of which the witness had made no mention. This was his supposed suffuiing from witchcraft. Tho accused, bcinjf questioned, iiiado re plies which agreed exactly with the wo man's statements. And thus apparently demonstrated his identity with Martin. He the re fine demanded that sho should bo tried for perjury, ,An investigation, how ever, showed that she was thoroughly an honest woman. Nearly one hundred and fifty witnesses were called to give evidence in regard to the respondent's identity. Of these nearly forty swore that they had known Martin Guerre from infancy, and were sure that the piisoncr was Martin. They appeal ed also to certain scars and marks on his pel son as proof of the correctness of their judgment. On the other hand, there were a great many witnesses equally confident that the person before thera was Arnaud Du Tilh, also called Pansettc. Sixty re maining witnesses, who had known bolh Guerre and Du Tilh, said that they looked so much alike that it was impossiblo to determine which was which. The judges decided that the prisoner was Du Tilh, and sentenced bim to death by decapitation. From this the condemned appealed to the Parliament of Toulouse. On tho second trial the parties wero con fronted in open court. The accused main tained so steady a face, spoke with so much assurance and made answers bo apparently truthful that the members of the tribunal were much inclined in his favor, and equally prejudiced against his accusers. Thirty new witnesses were examined, nine or ten of whom believed that the defendant was Martin Guerre; seven or eight were positive that he was Arnaud Du Tilh, and the remainder declared that they could not decide. The parliament was in much trouble. It did not wish by concurring with the judge to condemn a man who might be innocent, neither did it feel justi fied in acquitting a possibly atrocious crimi nal. Nothing remained but to silt the evidence more carefully. It appeared that forty-five witnesses had clearly identified tho prisoner as Du Tilh Among them was his mother's brother. Most of these persons said that Guerre was a little taller than the prisoner and darker in complexion; hud slightly crooked legs, round shoulders, a turned-up chin, a large and Hat nose, and two scars on his face. The prisoner, on the contrary, was well proportioned, and had large and straight legs, and a chin and nose differing from those of Guerre. He bid, however, the two scara on hiB face. A shoemaker who had been employed by Guerre testified that his foot extended to the twelfth mark on the rule, while that of the accused reached no farther than the ninth. Anvther man swore that while Guerre was an expert wrestler, the prisoner knew nothing about the art. Three persous deposed to direct and indirect acknowledgments on the part of the respondent that he was Du Tilh Thete was also bcrcsay evidence to the effect that Guerre was still alive in Flanders, and had a wooden leg. It was remarked by some that Guerre, being a Biscayan had tbe accent of his province, whereas the accused could not speak the Basque, but took pains to minglo a few words which he had learned of it with his French, repeat ing them in a markedly affected tone, There was no end of testimony to the wicked character of Du Tilh. If these charges seemed strong, the op posing evidence was not loss formidable, Four Bisters of Martin Guerre, who were brought up with him and were persons of good reputation, were sure that the prisoner was their brother. Two of their husbands also recognized him. Several the guests at Martin's wedding, and who had seen warts and other marks on Martin, which the accused likewise had, were equal ly decided in their identification. Evidence was introduced rendering the existence of a conspiracy against the alleged Martin ex tremely probable. The parliament began to waver, and the reversal of the sentence of the lower tribunal would have followed but a circumstance occurred which put an end to all doubt. No less a personage that the genuine Martin came into court He had a wooden leg, as rumor had affirm ed, and said he came from Spain. He gave a distinct account of the impostor who had assumed his name, and demanded that hiB claims aheuld be heard. Tho false Martin was not at all abashed Ho denounced the new comer as the hired tool of Peter Guerre, and cross-questioned him fiercely. Martiu, being frightened, answered rather faintly, but his interroga tor being removed and his composure re stored, gave a clear and obviously truthful account of himself. The two claimants wure next placed side by sido and submitted to the examination of Martin Guerre'a fla- tivee. The sisturs at once acknowledged their former mistake, and Boi thunde lecog. nized the cripple as her husband. Du Tilh was then condemned " to make an amend honorable in the market place of Artigues, iu his shirt, bis head and feet being bare, a halter about his neck, and holding in his hand a lighted torch; to ask paidouof God, tbe king, and of Martiu and his wifo, to walk through tho streets with a rope around his neck, and finally to be luuigc and strangled, and "his body to le burn ed." Ho was) carried back to Artigues, where the judgo who condemned )mu examined him. lie then made a long confession. Ho had known Guerre Iu the uimy, and hud many conversations with him. On his re turn from camp ho wns mistuken by some of Martin's friends for Martin himself. This suggested to him tho plan which he afterwards carried out.. He crammed him self with facts in Martin's history, and weut to Artigues to enact ono of the most successful cheats ever known. He was ex ecuted according to sentence, and died with apparent penitence. Were it not for the culprit's acknowledg ment of his guilt we should regard it as perhaps an open question whether the one or two-lcggcd Martin was the genuine hus band of Berthande. If sho pronounced two judgments she was as likely to be mistaken In the second as in the first, while tho rad ical chango of mind on the part of other witnesses renders their infallibility equally Buspicious. Tho lesson of tho whole story is that it requires a wise son to know his own lather; wisdom is also essential to other recognitions of relationship. Xo Doubt it True. A FACETIOUS writer says: I called on one of the inhabitans of El mini, who keeps a corner blue and red light cas tor oil shop. 1 was trying to get bim to give me a bigger lot of peppermint for a ' cent, when in rnshed a fellow who called for a pound of camphor and downed with the whole of it. It was a surprise party to me, and I said, " What did he do that for ?" " Why," said drugs, "he is lined." " Lined," says I, " what is that?" Thcu he told me a story of mock turtle soup. " Some years ago," ho said, "a gentle man who was abeut to give a dinner party, spent a whole week showing his servant how to make mock turtle soup. When the day came she made the mock, and the tur tle and the soup all right, and just us she was about to pour in a bottle of claret, a little boy entered singing "Every thing is lovely and the goose hangs high," which distracted her attention, and she made a mistake and poured in a whole bottle of hair tonic." ' Did it make hair soup," said 1 very meekly. "Alas," said he, "the results were sad." " What were the results?" said I. "Ah," said he,"two went to the church yard, four to the hospital, and all who did not die were called the survivors, and that fellow you just saw was one of them." "What does he swallow so much cam phor for?" Bays I. - " Well," he said, " that tonic started the bair growing down his throat, and he took the camphor to keep the moths out." I told that fellow there was more lie in him than there was iu a bar of soap, and left. IW An Ohio paper tells about a bride groom who placed the wedding-ring in his mouth during the first part of the cere mony, so that ho could have it at baud at the proper moment. (He mumbled along through tbe service all right until the clergyman usked for the ring, and theu he became so nervous that he swallowed it Of course the ceremony had to be stopped short. The groomsmen then dragged the young man out into the entry aud held him up by the heels and shook him, aud rolled him over a barrel, and gave hira a gallon warm water and mustard, and tried to fish the ring out with a bent pin tied to a piece of twine. But it wouldn't come. The bride's brother suggested sending a little boy down inside with a lantern but be was spanked and put to bed. At last one of , tbe groomsmen went out aud borrowed a ' stomach pump, and it was manned by all hands and worked with such eneigy that tho ring finally appeared. But the groom seemed sick and hungry all through the rest of the ceremony. He says if ho ever marries again, and undertakes to carry the ring in his mouth, he will tie a poker or something to the jewel and let tho string hang out of his mouth. Things of this kind art discouraging. FmL.NTO. The piment of commerce, commonly called allspice, from the fact that its ilavor partakes of several spices viz.,clovcs,ciua mon and nutmegs is a product of South America and tho West India Islands, and grows in great luxuriance in Jamaica. The pimento trees, from which the all spice berries are gathered, frequently at tain the height of twenty-five to thirty foet, aud are. exceedingly beautiful iu ap pearance, the foliage being a luxuriaut ev ergreen. These trees do not bear every year with the samo luxuriance, an abund ant crop being averaged at intervals of about five years. Tho berries, which owe their aromatic properties to tho presence of a volatile oil, are gathered before they fully muture, as, when perfectly ripe, they do not possess tho pungency of odor aud taste for which they are valuable as a condiment. When picked they are exposed to tho ac tion of gentle heat, and great caution is ex ercised in their preparation for tho market. Tho commercial value of pimento is esti mated by millions of dollars, aud conse quently a vast amount of labor and care is beutowed upon its production, . t3?"
