T00LATE. !
JAMES WBSTOB.
Too late, too late, was never said
Of morning sun, or bud, or flower, v
The light is true to hill and glade,
The rosebud opens to the hour ;
The lark ne'er asks the day to wait.
But man awakes too late, too late !
Too late, too late, our anger burns,
The sun goes down before the flame
To gentle words of kindness turns,
And we are scourged with inward shame
To think onr breasts have harbored hate,
And pride bows down too late, too late! -
Tco lute, too late for publio prayer.
The words of worship hare begun ;
Our cheeks are flushed with hastening there,
We enter as the chant is done;
And, pausing at the temple gate,
We stand and say. too late, too late !
'Too late, too lale !" the poor man cries,
He asks his right, the court delays
Till ruin comes, in fearful guise ;
In vain he pleads, in rain he prays,
The law requires too much debate,
And justice comes too late, too late!
'Too late, too late!" who has not said,
The post is out, the train is gone,
The time is fled, the debt not paid.
The aid not sought, the work not done ;
Neglect makes up life's weary freight.
And then we cry, "Too late, too late !"

A iVOSAN OS THE BEACH.
The Great Joke or Wyoming How Ihe
Wag Sei-red Mrs. Jntlge Morris' Has
band A Wife Committing her Spouse.
My last gave iu brief tbe .history of
the passage of tbe Woman's Suffrage act
in Wyoming. I will now give some of
the practical working of woman suffrage
and woman office holding. The first
action taken under tbe provisions of this
law was the appointment by the Secre
tary, as acting Governor; of Mrs Esther
Morris, of South Pass City, as a justice
of the peace, for Sweetwater county
Mrs. Morris qualified, "remitted the usu
al fee of S75" to the Secretary, and en
tered npon the duties of her office.
Nothing unnsua! occurred for some
days ;' everybody was satisfied with the
: new justice, and tbe new justice with
everybody. One day, however, the wine
of Littcrness was mixed in her cup of
blips, and notwithstanding her womanly
and wifi-ly feeling, she was compelled to
drink it. Her better half, who was now
li ft in charge of the domestic department
of the firm, had previous to his retire
mint to the sweet of domestic life, occa
sionally takeu a social glass with his
friends. Taking advantage of this weak
ness, some friends waited upon Mr. Morris
one day, aud having made Mr. Morris
drunk, led him into a breach of the peace,
then hastened to the Esquire's office and
lodged a complaint with her Honor
agaitwt her Honor's "liege lord and mas
ter," that used to be, and demanded a
warrant for his arrest. Mrs Justice
hesitated a moment on the banks of this
woman's Rubicon, but like Cseear ehe
was equal to the emergency, and prompt
ly crossed into her lord's dominions and
her former master was dragged' before
her for trial.
Mr Morris's head was not sufficiently
clear to comprehend the situation. He
began to assert his sovereign rights in
contempt of court, until suddenly brought
np ty the officer in obedience to the
court's order. Seeing that things had
changed somewhat, and tbat Othello's
occupation had been at least suspended,
he began to expostulate first with the
officer, until informed by that functionary
that be had no discretion, but was acting
under orders from the conrt.
Who is the court (hie) ?' inquired
Mr. Morris. Ou being informed that the
occupaut of the bench was the judge,
Mr. Morris locked at the justice with a
puzzled air, scratched his head in an ef
fort to collect Lis scattered thoughts, and
ejaculated : "Her her' hie) she is
that's Esther my wife Esther you're
drunk, or oh don't bother me (hie),"
and he started to go.
"Lock up the prisoner for contempt of
court,' said Mrs. Morris to the officer.
"What have you to say about it, eh ?"
blurted out Mr. Morris, staggering men
acingly toward the judge.
"You will find I have all to say about
it Officer lock him up," replied her
Honor"
Although badly mixed, Mr. Morris be
gan to get a glimmer of the truth, and
began a parley.
"Now look here, Mr. Officer, don't you
be in a hurry. I didn't mean any thing
wrong. I want to juet talk with my
wife a minute." "Now, Esther, what's
the use of foolin; you jist git down out
o'there, and go home and behave your
self. I'll tend to this little difficulty
myself. Now go right along, the baby
wants nuisini;. I had to give it to Mrs.
Winslow to get it to sleep when I came
down. He's hungry, for he won't use
that old bottle, and I don't blame him
either. The dishes ain't washed, nor the
beds made, either. And what's more I
ain't goin' to do it asy more, now. Ton
hear tbat. Now start aloog."
; Bjr tbe time Mr. Morris had delivered
himself of this, his tone had changed as
bis feelings warned from that expostula
tion to that of a command again, and the
officer forced him into the rndely con
structed lockup in the rear of her Hon
or's court, and there Mr. Morris was left
to reflect upon the situation, and gaze up
on the dividing wall between himself and
wife as the dividing line between man's
and woman's rights under this new dis
pensation. On tbe. following morning Mr. Morris
was arraigned before her Honor, and in
the most sober and subdued manner, and
with tbe deepest humiliation, pleading
guilty, asked the pardon of tbe Court for
contempt and then awaited his sentence
with humility and resignation.
After giving the prisoner a Caudle lec
ture as amended by the laws of Wyom
ing, her Honor imposed tbe usual fine
and required the prisoner to give bonds
to keep the peace, upon which the court
gallantly offered to let him go, and Mr.
Morris vanished.
UAWKIXS, THE POLYtiAXIST
TENCED.
SEX-
Chief Justice McKean, on the morn
ing of tbe 28tb ult., at Salt Lake City,
passed sentence upon Thomas Hawkins,
the polygamic, as follows :
Thomas Hawkins, I am sorry lor you
very Eorry. You may not tbink so
now, but I shall try to make you tbink
so by tbe mercy which I shall show you.
You came from England to this country
with the wife of your: youth, and for
many years yon were a kind husband
and a kind father. At length, however,
tbe evil spirit of polygamy tempted and
possessed you. Then happiness depart
ed from your household, and now, by
the complaint of your faithful wife and
the verdict of a law abiding jury, you
stand at this bar as a convicted ciiminal.
The law gives me a large discretionaty
J power in passing sentence upon you,
1
might both fine and imprison you, or I
might fine or imprison you. I might im-
prisou you for twenty years and fine you , . . , e .,
5 . . i a .i ; blv eive some clue, to some one, ot tuc
for twenty years and fine you one thou- ' 6 '
sand dollars. I caunot imprison you for name of tlje deceased. There ia no clue
less than three years, nor fine you less ' to tbe perpetrator of this foul deed. De
tnau three hundred dollars. It is right ! ceased may have had money on his per-
you should be fined, among other reasons,
to hilu to defray the expenses of en-
' .1
foreuiff ,i.e lawg . hut mv exoeri..nce in
; Utah has beeu such, that were I to fine
you only, I am satisfied the fine would"
be paid out of other funds than yours, !
and thus you would go free, absolutely j
free from all punishment, and then those I
i -ii i u i
men who mislead people would make!
thousauds of others believe that God had j
sent the money to pay the fine; that !
God had prevented the Conrt from send-
ing you to prison, and. by a miracle, you i )
naa neen rescued irom tue autiiortites oi
the United States.
I must look to it that my judgment
give no aid and comfort to such men. I
must look to it that my judgment be not
so severe as to seem vindictive and not so
light as to seem to trifle with justice
This community ought to learn that God
does not interpose to rescue criminals
from the consequences of their crimes,
but, on the contrary, lie so orders the
affairs of His -universe that, sooner or
later, crime stands face to face with jus
tice and justice is the master. I will
say here and now, that whenever your
good behavior and the public good will
justify me in doing so, I will gladly re
commend that you be pardoned. The
judgment of this court is that you be
fined S500 and that you be imprisonea at
hard labor for the term of three years.
A. FAMILY REMARKABLE FOR TWIXS.
Near Jamestown. Russell county, Ky.
there lives one of the most remarkable
of families. Mr. James Jeffries, lately
attending the United States court in
Louisville, as a juror, tells the story. He
says that he was married - before he was
seventeen years old, his wife being only
five days younger than bimself. They
lived together seven years without chil
dren, when his wife gave birth to twius,
a boy and girl. In the fifteen years
which followed nineteen children were
born to the happy couple, each of the
first three births being twins and each
subsequent birth alternating between
twins and single births until fifteen years
were accomplished and nineteen children
composed the family circle, seven pairs
of twins being born during the time. Mr
Jeffries is only forty five years old and
is still youthful in appearance and very
stout. His wife never had better health
in all ' her life than at present, though
she will not weigh 100 pounds. Her
greatest weight at any time was 110
pounds. The boy of tbe first twins now
weighs 165 pounds, the girl 125 pounds.
All tbe boys who are grown have made
large men ; the girla are of good ' size
and all the children healthy. But five
out of the nineteen have died. Mr. Jef
fires has ten brothers, all of whom are
large men, and within the families of the
eleven brothers there are thirty-seven
pairs of twins, roakiug seventy-four twin
children ; to say nothing of the host of
single births. Five of Mr. Jeffries' chil
dren are married, and, added to all those
singular facts, notwithstanding the ab
sence of silver locks on his head, he is
the grandfather of five children.
An Irishman who was recently run over
by a whole train of cars, got up and
asked for his cap the first thing, and af
terward said he, "wonld not run such an
other risk for ten dollars."
MURDER 5 EAR BEDFORD.
On Thursday morning, the 26th ult.
a man was found about four, and a half
miles below Bedford, "horribly murder
ed. His head was dreadfully crushed.
A number of tbe pockets of his clothes
bad been cut out. A piece of a fence rail,
bloody at one end, was found near tbe
dead man, and it is believed by that
neighborhood that his head was broken
with it. The Bedford Inquirer writes
further of tbe murder aa.follows : A del
icate foot-print in the side of the bank
from where the rail was taken out of the
fence was carefully measured, and scout
ing parties sent out to reconnoitre. In
a few moments tracks of the same size
were found in a grain-field to tbe South
side of the pike, and by following tbe
trail three or four hundred yards tbe mur
dered mau's baggage or luggage was
found, completely rifled. His luggage
consisted of a large leather sack or pouch
containing a small sack of flour, a small
sack of water or soda crackers, several
small pieces of cassimere, a skein of
black patent thread, needles, several bits
of leather, hammer, knife, pegging and
sewing awls, wax end, a bit of bees
wax, a German pocket Bible, au almanac
of 1S44, and a common paper memoran
dum book. It is evident that tbe man
did his own sewing and boot-mending.
Iu addition to the above, several pockets,
which bad been cut from the coat, were
found, but empty. A coffee pot, contain
ing a piece of fresh pork and several
slices of buttered bread, knife and a
spoon were fouud with the man. Tbe
following was found on the first page of
the pass-book. It had no date (year or
place) but was very good writing :

PECULIARITIES OF THE ARABS.
No Arab i3 ever curious. Curiosity
with all Eastern nations is considered un
manly. No Arab will stop in the street,
or turu his head round to listen to the
talk of bystanders. No Arab will dance,
play on an instrument, or indulge in
cards or any game of chance ; since
games of chance are forbidden by the
Koran. Never, moreover, invite an
Arab to talk a walk with yon for plea
sure Although the Arabs are on occa
sion good walkers, they have no notion
of walking for amusement ; they only
walk as a matter of business. Their
temperance, their constant out-door hab
its, render all exercise for exercise sake
unnecessary ; they cannot, therefore, un
deretand the pleasure of walking for
walking Baker What Arabs like best is
to sit still, and when they see Europeans
walking up and down in a public place
in Algeria, they say : ' Look, look, the
Christians are going mad!"' The Arab
does not even mount on horeback except
as a matter of business or for his public
fetes and carousals. And when you do
walk you must never walk quickly.
Just as in speaking, you should not talk
fast or loud, for the Koran tells you '
"Endeavor to moderate thy Btep, and to
speak in a low tone, for the most dis
agreeable of voices is the voice of the
ass."
Indeed, it was observed by a famous
Arab : "Countless are the vices of men,
but one thing will redeem them all
propriety of speech.'' And agaiu : "Of
the word which is not spoken I am the
master, but of the word which is spoken
I am the slave." The famous proverb,
"Speech is of silver, but silence ia of
gold," is a motto of Arab origin.
A silent, grave people the Arabs, and
a polite one, too, as we said, very much
given, nevertheless, to highway robbery
on a large scale, which they call razzias
in Algeria ; but the Arab's tent is always
open to you, and you get any amount of
cous-coussou, camel's milk, or even roast
ed mutton if he has it. You will be
treated as a guest from God as long as
you are under his roof, after which "your
happiness is in your hands," which means
that your host who fed you in the even
ing may, at a decent distance from his
tent, rifle your saddle-bags in the mora
ine, and let the "powder speak to you" if
yon object, after which, "Allah be merci
ful to you." All the Year Round.
Ir you have been tempted to evil fly
from it ; it is not falling into the water,
' but lying in it that drowns.
ROSESZWEIfj IX PRISON.
- "What's your name !" asked Warden
Russell, as "Dr." Rosensweig stepped up
to the desk in the aute mom of Sing
Sing Prison,, tears in his eyes and a cigar
stump in bis mouth.
Rosenzweig (leaning curiously forward
in order to see through the bole ia the
glass, and speaking very softly) My
name is Yakob Rosenzweig.
Warden Kussel. 1 brow tnat cigar

Rosenzweig walked coolly up to a cor

differently.
Warden Russell (while Rosenzweig
viewed him eagerly.) What's your oe

Rosenzweig (emphatically) I am a
physician.
Warden Russell Employed when ar
rested I
Rosenzweig He I Yes. What you
say ? No.
Warden RnsscII, without looking up,
wrote a word and passed on. While he
scribbled his snowy cuffs appeared to
advantage, and his exquisitely formed
white fingers tripped over the paper with
lady-like grace A ring sparkled on his
hand. Warden Russell is one of the
best-dressed prison wardens in tbis or any
other country.
Warden Russell Do you ever drink
iutoxicating liquors ?
Rosenzweig (as though not understand
ing him) How 1 (Quickly.) No sir.
He had swallowed a cocktail a quar
ter of an hour before. He was so faint
that kind Mr. Shields (the deputy sher
iff) allowed him the privilege of taking'
his l.HBt drink for seven years.
Warden Russell Can you read and

Rosenzweig Uow T (Laughing). I
should guess so.
He looked hideons as he laughed, his
big green eyes glaring wide.
Warden Russell Anything in your

Rosenzweig No, sir.
Warden Russell Nothing at all ?
Rosenzweig (innocent as a lamb) No
sir.
A quarter of an hour after, on being
searched, a number of papers aud other
things were taken out of his pockets,
Warden Russell Tffat's all.
The doctor stood back against the wall
and cried. It was then that-he implored'
a gentleraau present to ask that be m.gUt
........ i
receive better treatment than the other
prisoners. When the gentleman prom
ised biin he would do him the favor he
pressed his hands eagerly. His eyes
filled with tears. In a voice smothered
with emotion he murmured : "Thank
vnn. mv dear, mv darhner sir. I
The yonng doctor of the prison then
came and marched the four prisoners into
the bathroom. Rosenzweig, at first, had
some scruples of modesty at undressing
himself, but the attendant said gruffly :
... "Quick, quick, take off all your
clothes."
The keeper, who viewed Dr. Rosen
zweig quite pleasantly, said :
"Rush them through ; I dou't give yon
more than fifteen minutes for all the four "
Rosenzweig dried his eyes as he un
dressed himself. He remained a minute
or two in the bath, and laughed at some
jokes of tbe keeper.
"He has a despcrato face," the keeper
remarked; 'he would be a dangerous
fellow if he should have the chance'
Rosenzweig was quite good humored
when the grotesque garb of the prisoners,
the coarse striped woolen shirt and pan
taloons were pulled over him by one of
the convicts who attends the bath-room.
It lasted but a minute, during which his
sadness had entirely vanished, so that a
man asked, " Has he already hopes of
getting out ?" Then he was marched
into one of the little stone cells for the
newcomers. He will probably have to
work in the stone-yards, in accordance
with own wishes.
"All I wish is to have plenty of work,
plenty of work," he said on the way to
Sing Sing, bathed in tears.
One of the prisoners Oh J they work
the prisoners terribly. It's awful
they have to work.
Rosenzweig (scared) Yes ? Really ?
The Prisoner Oh ! it's terrible. Why
do you know that many have died under
the work T
Rosenzweig (all white in the face and
turning to a gentleman present ) Is that
so 7 Look at my fingers. I have never
worked iu all uiy life never.
Warden Russell intends to turn his
delicate white fingers to good account
to better account than they have been
put to so far.
A little boy, when asked by a lady
if he studied hard at school, said,
"I do not hurt myself at it !" "Ah,"
said the lady, ryou must study hard, or
you.ll never be President of the United
States." ''No, ma'am," replied the boy,
"but I don't expect t be I'm a Demo
crat." Tbe light of a match will frighten a
wolf away it is said. But love matches
don't always keep the wolf away from
tue door.
