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

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

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

by the impasioncd beets of a 2 ardent heart
and a 2 vehement para ov lungs exercised

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.

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,
