There dwelt in California some years ago
three friends, wild fellows enough, who had
seemingly linked their fortune for better or
for worse, and who, whatsoever their luck,
were constantly in each other's company.
These young men were Charles Chester,
Harry Bray, and Edward Warren. They
were more brotherly than many brothers,
more akin than many kinsman. True to each
other, even when women and thouey were
between them, Damon nod Pythias, with a
twin Damon added. For a long time they
had been very poor ; at last fortune favored
them. Each had a certain sum by no means
contemptible, stowed away in the leathern
belt he wore about the waist. They carried
a gold watch, and each wore a suit of clothes,
supposed by himself to be the latest style and
choisest eashion. Moreover, their revolvers
were perfect, silvermounted and rejoicing in
a multiplicity of barrels. for without these it
would be impossible to maintain a position
in this quarter of the world in any society.
How they, came by these possessions, we
will not inquire too particularly. They were
neither burglars nor highwaymen, but dice
and betting may have helped them to the
winning of their little fortunes. They were

One day won after " luck'• had come to its
best, a letter directed in ' a tremulous, wo
man's hand to "Charles Chester" was band

of the other two. The young fellow seized it

him upon the table and counted it over. Hav

sorts of comfortable things here and hereafter,
a proceeding which seems to relieve some
men extremely, thought why, it •would puzzle
the unenlightened to declare. The' catt.,e of
all this, as his • comrades soon discov
ered, was that his mother had written to him
front the little farm in a southertiState to tell
him a doleful tale of sickness, death amongst
the stock, etc., and a final crash. A mort
gage was almost due, and, as the old people
would find it impossible to meet it,they would
be sold out and left homeless In their age.
" It will kill your hither," wrote the no Hier,
"and I will die withliim. —
" I did It all," said the young fellow, soh
!Aug openly. "My debts and my wild ways
encumbered them at first, and now WA,"
And he ;minted to the gold upon the table,
and began hie profane litany again. The
mortgage was three thousand dollars, and lie
.had.hut two thousand.
••Is that all?" cried Neil Warren, hauling
out his belt.
" Good Heaven ? What does lie take toe
fur?" cried Harry Bray, furiously. " Five
hundred a piece and the expenses of the jour
ney, are about the figure. There go to the old
folks. We'll see about your horse while
you pack your bag."
This set the other• at his oaths again ; but in
a joyful style this time. They were tunrips
and bricks, and by everything he could think
of he'd do for them if there were any need of
"lle'd pay them back if he lived, and he'd

They walled for new con him, but
CalllC. They waited quietly at first then pa
tiently ; at last they heard " this I , Be had
never been seen at home, or by anyone who
knew him, since the day on which they had
shook bands with him. Some terrible• fate
had befallen him in the lonely places over
which he had , journeyed alone. To doubt
hint never entered their minds. That he was
true to them as they to him they *ell knew ;
and one thought tilled each mind. They must
discover his fate, And If it were what they sup
ptsed, avenge him.
SO tine bright morning, well mounted, as ell
' armed, and followed by a favorite dog, a
"bound who would by no means be left behind,
the tw•o set forth In search of their lost c
rade. They took the road he must have tak
en, and asked at every tavern and cabin for
news of.him. One old man remembered him
well; another man had pointed out the dan
gerous place in the road leading past a prcci•
pice to a man of their lost friend's description,
but at that point • the clue was lost. Ater
much travel and many inquirles,our comrades
began to fear that they should have paused to
examine the rocks and ravines nt the foot of
the precipice alluded to, ere they proceeded
further, and determined to turn back and do
so. They came to this resolution about night
fall and just as they reached the borders of a
little farm, which bore evidence of careful
tillage.' Upon this land stood also a farth
house from crevices in the shutters of which
stfeamed long bars of ruddy lamp light, and
whencßthe sound of music was plainly heard.
It was the only dwelling within sight.
"We will stay here," said one friend to
another, "until daa.n and then return. — •
That the house was not an inn did not
matter to either of them. Hospitality MIS
never refused In the land at that day.
They rode boldly up to the gate and gave
a loud hallo. In an instant the door opened,
and they could see within n sadden panic in
n lively dance, as all heads turned to ,41. What

"Certainly, gentleman," said a pleasant

man Tack is on the floor to-night ; tint here's
a lantern, If you'll tend to yourselves.'
" All right, stranger," said Horry,
thank you, too."
And the two men led their horses into a
stable, already full. Ned watered them, and
secured them for the night, and would have
left the place at once, but that one of the ani
mals attracted Harry's attention. He turned
back to look at him, ecamined him from head
to foot, turned red and pole, and suddenly
clutched Ned's arm.

"That's my son's horse," said the old man.
" Where did he buy it ?" asked the other.
" Don't know," said the old man, laughing
childishly. "Come to him with the rest of
his good luck, six months ago."
Again the dog outside began to howl.
Again the friends felt coil chills creep over
them.

And lie left them. ilitt not to sleep. The
two men had sought solitude dhat they might

could only say, " What doe, this mean ?"
They had said it in Its tunny ways a dozen

to a peg in the rough wall. On It hung some

Yet it was an ohject quite common and inno

"'Not very mysterions," said the homer.
" I went to the diggings and MI in with a

words: speaking of his young wife and his
old father ; bidding his neighbors remember
that he had never done theta any wrong
Judge Lynch has no merey,no compassion,
no belief In the possibility of false accusation;
and this Judge Lynch was an avenger of blood.
The end was what the end of such a trial
generally is; the sentence the awful one of
death, and in less than three hours from the
moment on which they first saw the bride-
groom happy and blithe, standing with his
bride at the head of a gay country dance,
his body dangled, a horrible sight to look upon
from the branch of the tree that shadowed
what all believed to be his victim's grays
When all was over they found the old
father dead in his chair,besides the fire-place,
and fonnd among the woman a hopeless, gib.
Bering maniac, whom they would hardly
have known for the rosy.cheeked bride.
They were revenged, but at what cost ?
The two men returned to their homes, sad
dened and altered, and yet not remorseful,
for they had but revenged their comrade; and
this, to them, seemed common justice. The
legal code of border life bad been adhered to;
but for the last look at the mad bride they
could scarcely have recognized how awful all
this had been. They lived on together friends
still, speaking often of poor Charley, and fan
cying thst in some other world he might even
know how well they had revenged themselves
upon his murderer
And so five years passed ; and one day the
two went together into a coffee room kept by
an old Frenchman in the city of San Francisco,
and, being in low spirits, out of luck, and with
slender purses, were sitting disconsolately
over their meals, when a hand . came down
on each shoulder, and a voice cried, " Found
at last I I've searched the city, for you.
Heaven bless you, dear boys I"
It was Charles Chester, handsome and
cheerful, well-dressed, and well-to-do looking;
Charles Chester, whose murderer they be
lieved themselves to have' lynched years be
fore.
And this was the story tie told them, won
dering at their pallid looks and awe-struck
silence the while: "The money he hail with
hint being in gold, and heavy for his belt, he
placed it in his saddle-bags, and had completed
many stiles of his jaurney, when, near a new,
but apparently deserted dwelling, he saw
tools, groaning terribly. D:stnounting, ho
assisted him, and found that he was a traveler
who had been set upon by ruffians, and rob
bed and wounded. He had crawled into this
'Muse for assistance, but found it empty, and
now lay dying in the road. Charles Chester
had done his best for the poor fellow, but
without avail. He died in his arms just as
the sun went doe, n ; and, by the fading light,
he had deg a grave on the turf below the empty
house, and there buried him. There was no
one in sight and his fears of an attack upon
himself Warned him to hurry on ; but when
the last sad rites were over, and ho turned to
remount his horse It was gone. The animal
had escaped into the woods, and, With night
coming on, all search seemed hopeless. The
money iu the saddletbagsrendered the thought
a maddening one. He threaded his way
through the underbrush, calling Isis steed by
name, until total darkness hid all objects: and,
at last, striking his head violently against a
tree, he fell to the ground insensible. When
he came to himself, he was lying in a wagoe,
to which he had been conveyed by 'a kindly
German who could speak no English. In
falling, he had broken his arm, stud was very
weak and ill. •Before he was able to com
municate his story to any one, all hope of
recovering either horse or money had de
serted him. lie was in dispair. He could
not assist his parents. 'ro return to his friends
would be to cast himself upon their bounty.
This he would not do ; and his struggles had
been great at first, but they were over now.
He had done well by the 'old folks,' and had
returned to pay his debts, and resume his
friendship with his old friends."
He was wills them—he lived. The farmer
had doubtless toll the truth. lie did not even
know why the turf had grown sb -green In
the little yard, and he had found the horse at
large in the woodS, and knew nothing of the
rider ; but the thing had beets done and could
not be undone--the dead brought to life, or
the maniac's mind restored, or the blood
washed from the murderers' hands.
Of course they told their story, and of course.
they believed their friendship as warns as
ever ; but it was 110 t so. They never would
meet each other again as of yore. The two
could not forget rho man they lynched to
avenge their friend, and doubted the propriety
Of his returning alive and merry to trouble
their consciences,which were quiet enough as
long as he seemed dead. As for Charlei
Chester, he cleared the.tunrdered titan's mem
ory among his neighbors, and saw the wild
eyed, white-faced woman, who only shook
her head and moaned and muttered when lie
spoke to her ; and then he too was content to
say good-bye to those who had done the deed
--albeit for his sake.
tio the throe parted, each going his own
way ; for thus it seemed easier to forget the
deed done by Judge Lynch and his court upon
the day of the bride's coming home.
DIVORCED IN A DESERT
One of the pioneers'in the California emi
gration who went across the plains in Ma,
tells this story, that began on the Journey and
has just ended in San Francisco. While the
train (,f which the narrator, now in Nevado,
was a member, was encamped at the point on
the Humboldt, where the Lessen . train inter
sects the Carson track of travel, he visited the
tent of a family consisting of an elderly cou
ple Mut one child, a daughter of fourteen or
fifteen. The old lady was sitting on a pile of
blankets under the canvass, encouraging the
most determined attack of the " sulks," while
the tnasculimt head of affairs bad planted him
self upon the wagon tongue, and was suck
ing his pipe as though he expected to remain
there forever.
• A single glance developed the difficulty in
that little train of one wagon and three per
sons, and that it had atteined a point of quiet
desperation beyond the reach of peaceful ad
justment. Three days before they had pitch.
ed their tent at the forks of the road, and as
they could not agree upon the route io enter
California, there they remained. The
band had expressed a preference for the
Carson road, and the ,Nrife for the Lessen, and
neither would yield. The wife declared she
would remain all winter ; the husband said ho
would be pleased to prolong the sojourn
through the following summer.
On the morning of the fourth day the wife
broke a sudden silence of thirty-six hours by
proposing a division of the property which
consisted of two yoke of oxen, one wagon,
camp furniture, a small quantity of provisions,
and twelve dollars in silver. The proposal
was accepted ; and forthwith the " plunder"
was divided leaving the wagon to the old man,
and the daughter to the mother. The latter
exchanged with a neighboring train the cattle
belonging to her for a pony and a pack saddle,
and piling her daughter and her portion of the
divided spoil upon the animal, she resolutely
started across the desert by the Lessen trail,
while the op man silently yoked his cattle
and took la other route.
,romen were
On the
Of course both parties reached California in
safety. We say "of course," for it Is scarcely
possible that any obstacle, death included,
could have interfered with stubbornness so sub
lime. Arriving at Sacramento, with her
daughter, the old lady readily found employ
ment—for women were less plentiful than
now—and consequently opened a boarding
house and in a few years amassed a handsome
fortune. Two years ago she went to San
Francisco, and the daughter, whose education
had not been neglected, was married to ono
of the most substantial citizens.
And what had become of the old Man ? The
wife had not seen or heard of him since they
parted on the Humboldt. They had lived
happily together for years and she sometimes
reproached herself for the interruption .of so
long a pilgrimage together. But he was not
dead. We cannot trace his course in Califor
nia, however. All that we know of him is,
that fortune had not smiled upon him, and
that for years he had toiled without hope.
Finally, feeling unable longer to wield the
pick and shovel, ho visited San Francisco in
hope of obtaining employment better adapted
to his wasted strength.
For three months he remained idle alter or--
riving there, and then for want of occupation,
became the humble retailer of peanuts and
oranges, with his entire Wattle upon his arm.
This was six months ago. A few weeks since,
in passing the open door of a cottage in the
southern part of the city, he observed a lady
in the hall, and stepped to offer his merchan
dise. As lie stepped upon the. threshold the
lady approached and the old man raised his
eyes end dropped his basket, and no wonder
either, for she was his wife, his " old woman !"
She recognized him,• and throwing up her
anus in amazement, exclaimed :
" Great God I John, is that you i"• A
that is lett of me," replied the old man. Willi
extended arms they approached. Suddenly
the old lady's countenance changed, and she
stepped back. "John," said she with a
look that might have been construed into earn
estness, " how did you find the Carson road.?"
"Miserable, Sukey, miserable," replied the old
man ; " full of sand and alkili." " Then I
was right John ?" she continued Inquiringly.
"You were Sukey." "That's enough !" said
she, throwing her arms around the old man's
neck; "that's enough John;" and the old
couple, strangely sundcied, were reun Bed.—

A remarkable case, showing the danger of
trusting implicity to circumstantial' evidence, I
has Just been concluded in Toledo. Nearly I
three years ago Robert Sharp was hound dead,
with shot and slugs in his brain. A man
named Harrington, who had been on intimate
terms with the decenkd, was arrested for the
murder. The testimony was wholly circum
stantial, but so'skillfully " worked up" by the
detectives that Harrington was convicted and
sent to the Penitentiary. Ills lawyers had be
come interested in the case, and, although
Harrington was a poor man, they determined
to fight his cause to the end. After a long
and arduous struggle through the District and
Supreme Courts, an order for a new trial was
obtained, and that trial has Just closed.
The main points in the evidence on which
he was convicted were the apparent corre
spondence of the shot in the body of the dead
man with that in the shot-bag belonging to
Harrington ; the correspondence of pikes of
a newspaper found near the scene of the sup
posed murder, and assumed to lie part of the
dim -wadding; with a tern paper in Ihirring
ton's residence and a piece in his vest pocket;
and that-the motive for the murder wise to be
found in the alleged fact of Sharp having come
to Toledo with several hundred dollars of
money, which Harrington knew, and that no
one else was so intimate with Min.
On the second trial it was rendered
doubtful whether there was a similarity in the
shot. It was clearly proven that the piece of
paper alleged to have been 'picked tip at the
scene of the murder were not there at the
.time of the finding of the body, nor for a day
or two afterward, and the inference was un
avoidable that they were,. put Uteri/ by the
detectives to aid them in "working up " the
Case against Harrington. it was further
proven that Sharp was destitute when * lie ar
rived in Toledo, and that Harrington was
doing his best to aid him iu procuring em
ployment. To crown all, an alibi was clear
'ly and satisfactorily proven. 'Harrington
•NVI!;9 declared innocent, and the „jury volun
arily gave him a letter, signed by . every
nember, repeating, in emphatic terms, their
tellef in his entire innocence of any know'.
edge Of the supposed murder, and bearing
testimony to . his uniform good character: The
• public sentiment unanimously coincided with
this verdict. The former employer of Har
rington Immediately took him back into his
service.
It causes an unpleasant shudder to reflect
that a perfectly innocent man, of good char
acter, suffered two years of degraded punish
ment, and narrowly escaped an ignominious
death for a crime of which he knew nothing.
It is another warning of the danger of im
plicit trust in wholly circumstantial evidence,
and a protest against the detectives in "work
ing up a case" against one they choose to
• suspect.—Cteceland Herald.

INAUGURATION
Or THE
NEW TOWN OF AYER.
The Legislature of Massachusetts having
chartered the town of Ayer, at Groton Junc
tion, the consummation was celebrated with
great pomp and ceremony and the occasion
was honored by the presence and talents of
some or Massachusetts most eminent men.
The " great medicine man" was introduced
by President Prescott with high encomiums
based on his personal and life long acquaint
ance. After thanking the audience for the
cordiality of their greeting, Dr. Ayer spoke n&
follows :
Ladies and Gentlemen :
On the western coast of Scotland where it
slopes into the Irish Sea, a river, rising on the
mountains of that inner land, winds down
among the hills and empties Into the Frith of
Clyde. From remote time It has been called
Ayr from an old Scotch word " Ayry,"
meaning an eagle's nest—the river of the
eagle's nest. Near its mouth and a contigu
ous harbor, long stood a hamlet which became '
a royal burg or town named from the river,
and now about one third as large as Lowell—
the city of Ayr. For more than a thousand
years it has been noted in the history of Scot
land. During the wars of Robert Bruce it
was one of his resorts, and was especially fa
vored by him because he was there cured of
leprosy. Oliver Cgomwell made it one of the
depots and headquarters of his army In his at
tack upon Scotland,,and one of his old forts la
now the Citadel of Ayr.
But above all its distinctions, Ayr was the
birthplace of the poet Burns. And what a
poet I What a voice lint he given to all the
endearments of home! how has he hallowed
the cottage and Milts covers—weans and wife,
patches and poverty, beans, barley, ale, hard
ship and the poor man's toil. Dow ho wraps
with tenderness whatever lie names, even his
bleak leagues of pasture, the stubble field, Ice,
snow, sleet, and rain,, brooks, birds, mice,
thistles and heather. His Bonny Doon, John
Anderson, my Jo John, Auld Lang Sync, and
Highland Puy roll round the world in ever
ringing symphony with what is purest and
best In hutnan nature. Big songs woo and
melt the hearts of youth and maidens, bring
solace to the sorrowing and courage to the
overburdened by their lot: I-lis Inspiration
has set the affections to music in strains that
are immortal.
No other one man ever made a language
classic, but lie has rendered that lowland
Scotch a Doric dialect of fame. The name
of his twine and his beloved - river Ayr Wee
lifted on the wings of his pathos, and now
the approaching traveller yearns to reach the
spot his genius has sanctified.
Along the borders of the sea in a parallelo
gram and surrounding the 'town is a county
of the same none—Ayrshire.
It would weary your patience to hear the .
history of my ancestors from one ancient John
of Ayr, then John Ayr, down through the
centuries to this Ayer now before you -
through their vicissitudes of poverty and
plenty—of fin - tune and misfortune ; how they
have intermarried with England, Ireland and
Scotland, and later with the Americans, who'
are an excellent mixture of them all.
My friends,—you have chosen the name I
inherited for your town with an extraordinary
unanimity, and base thereby conferred au
honor upon me, the proper acknowledgment
of which I do not feel fully able to express.
But I beg you to be assured that it is ap
•preciated and that it will be gratefully re
membered with, a" living interest in your
prosperity while life remains to me, and, I
mist, beyond that by my children after me.
If this name lets become noted among the
many that are worthier around you, that is
greatly due to its publicity. May I be per
mitted to state whence that cane? Until
within a few centuries all the civilized nations
of the globe were pent up on the Eastern con
tinent. Two or three hundred years ago they
leaked over into this ; few and fearfully at first
then more and more bit always in their set
tlements timidly hugging the Atlantic coast.
Within the last two or three generations, Ur y
have burst out, as it were, and over-run the: e
vast continents of the \Vest. Now they are
scattered here and possess these measureless
stretches of mountains and valleys, hills,
plains, forests and prairies with the boundless
pennies and mountain ranges of South Amer
ica. Former generations lived in villages and
towns, thickly settled together where physi
cians were plenty and near at hand. Now,
the people were widely scattered, in many
countries. For great numbers the timely
treatment of physicians cannot be had ; over
large tracts of country good or competent
physicians cannot be had at all. They can
not visit patients enough many miles apart to
live by their profession, nor can they carry
medicines enough with them on horseback for
their requirements. Hence has arisen in these
modern tithes, a necessity for remedies ready
at hand, with directions for their use—a pro
sent recourse for relief in the exigencies of
sickness, when no other aid is near. It is a
new necessity consequent upon the changed
conditions of human life—a want I have spent
my years in supplying, and I will tell you
something of its extent. Our laboratory
makes every day some 030,000 portions of /
doses of our preparations. These are all taken
by somebody. Here is a number equal to the
population of fifteen cities as large as Lowell,
taking them every day (t'er sickness keeps no
Sabbath) nor for once only, but again and
again 'year after year, through nearly one third
of a century. We all join in the jokes about
medicines as we do about the' Doctor's mis
sion to kill, the clergyman's insincerity and
the lawyer's cheating. Yet each of these la
bors among the most serious realities of life.
Sickness and Its attendant suffering are no
joke, neither is the treatment of them. This
system of transportable relief, to be made
available to the people, must keep its reme
dies fresh in their memories. This is done by
advertising. Mark its extent. An advertise
meet, taking the run of the newspapers with
which we contract (some 1000 annually) Is
struck off in such numbers, that when piled
upon each other flatwise, like the leaves of a
book, the thickness through them Is sixteen
miles. In addition, it takes smile seven mil
lions of circulars to meet the public depand
for this kind of information. Our anntiid la
sue of pamphlets alone, laid solid upon each
other, make a pile eight and one quarter mike
high. The circulars measured endwise reach
1805 miles, and these, assertions are matters
of mathematical certainty. What over the
estimation in which these publications may bo
held here, they reach the firesides of millions
upon millions of Inca who do treaure and re•
gard them, and who in their trials do heed the
counsel they bring.
Not only over these great Western conti
nents but throughout that other land so little
known to you, under our feet, the Australian
continent, there are few villages as large as
this which are not familiar with the name you
have chosen, anti employing the remedies that
bear It.
Thus, gentlemen, have I striven In my hum
ble sphere to render some service to my fellow
men, and to deserve among the afllicted and
unfortunate some regard for the name which
your kind partiality hangs on these walls
around me. We may look forward with confi
dent hope to the renown you will gather under
it, and the prosperity, which there is reason.
to trust the future has in store for you. Situa
ted us you are here on one of the main arteries
between the west and east, between the great
industries of the plough and the spindle you
must aid in their exchanges and thrive with
them. Soon these channels will be opened
wide and pouring through your precincts
streams of men and merchandise that will need
your furtherance and must contribute to your
growth.
Located here in the centre of New England
to what dearer spot can you turn that men In
habit? Beginning life rich with the honors of
your mother town whose influence through
her schools and her scholars Is of itself an in
heritance, with such examples as Lawrence,
Boutwell, Hoar, what may you not hope for
of usefulness in the councils of the state and
nation 1
• Contrast our condition with that of the Eu•
ropean nations, alternately torn and impover
ished with wars, credit It as you may to the
better education of the people, and you will
realize the valtrb of the example old mother
Groton hiss set you, so worthy of your anabl
don to follow. Build schools for your children
and find talent to teach them, then Intelligence
and Integrity in prosperous and happy homes
will be your sure reward.
Associated as you have made me with your
weal and wo, I wish I might be allowed to
contribute from nay means such as they are,
something towards this first foundation of the
public good.
Gentlemen' I have detained you too long.
Oppressed with the fear, that I do not deserve
the distinction you bestow, I. pray God to
make me worthier, and to smile upon you with
Ills perpetual blessings
