A RARE OLD POEM.
Poor Friar Philip lost Ills wile,
The charm and comfort of his life )
He mourned her Just like modern men,
For ladlos were worth having then.
Tho world was altered In his view,
All things put ou sv yellow hue
Eveu ladles, once bis chief dellghl,
Were now offensive to his sight i
In short, he pined and looked so 111,
The doctor hoped to make a bill.
At last he made a tow to fly, ,
And hldo himself from every eye (
Take up bis lodgings In n wood,
To turn a hermit and grow good.
He bad a son, you -now must know,
About ft twelvemonth old or so ) '
lllm Philip took up lu Jils arms,
To snatch from all female charms,
Intending he should never never know
There were such things as girls below,
But lead an honest hermit's life,
Lest be, likewise, might lose his wife.
The place he chose for bis retreat
Was once a lion's conntry seat,
Far in a wild, romantic wood
The hermit's little cottage stood,
Hid by the trees from human view i
The sun himself could scarce got through.
A little garden, tilled with care,
Supplied them with their dally fare
Fresh watcrcrcsscs from the spring,
Turnips, or greens, or some such thing.
Hermits don't care much what they eat,
And appetite can make it sweet !
'Twae there our little hermit grew
Ills father taught him all he knew,
Adapting, like a cheerful sage,
His lessons to the pupil's age.
At five years old he showed him flowers,
Taught lilm their various names, and
powers
Taught hlin to blow upon a reed,
To eay his prayers and get the creed.
At ten ho lectured lilm on herbs
(Better than learning nouns and verbs),
The names and qualities of trees,
Manners and customs of the bees ;
Then talked of oysters full of pearls,
But not one word about the girls.
At fifteen years he turued his eyes
To view the wonder of the skies (
Called all the stars by their right names,
As you would call on John or James )
And showed him all tbe signs above,
But not a whisper about love.
And now his sixteenth year was nlgli,
And yet he bad not learned to sigh ;
Had sleep and appetite to spare t
He could not tell the name of care ;
And all because be did not know
There were such things as girls below.
But now a tempest raged around,
The hermit's little nest was drowned
Good by, then, to poor Philip's crop j
I t did not leave a turnip top.
Poor Philip grieved, and his son too ;
They prayed they knew not what to do j
If they were hermit's, they must live ,
Aud wolves have not much alms to give.
Now, in his native town he knew
lie had disciples rich ones, too
Who would not let him beg In vain,
But set the hermit up again.
But what to do with his young son
Pray, toll mo, what would you have done ?
Take him to town ho was afraid,
For what If he should see a maid !
In love, as sure as he had eyes I
Then any quantity of sighs 1
Leave him at home ? the wolves, the bears!
Poor Philip bad a father's fears.
In short, he knew not what to do,
But thought, at last, to take him too j
And so, with truly pious care,
He counts his beads In anxious prayer,
Intended as a sort of charm
To keep bis darling lad from harm ;
That Is, from pretty ladies' wiles,
Especially their eyes and smiles ;
Then brushed bis coat of silver gray ;
And now you see them on their way.
It was a town, they all agree,
Where there was everything to see,
As paintings, statues, and so on,
All that men love to look upon.
Our little lad, you may suppose,
Had never seen so many shows :
Ho stands with open mouth and eyes,
Like one just fallen from the skies);
Pointing at everything be sees
" What's this I what's that? 'Oh, here!
what's these?"
At last he spies a charming thing,
That men call angel when they sing
Toung lady, when they speak In prose
Sweet thing! as everybody knows.
Transported, ravished, at the sight
He feels a strange, but sweet, delight. '
" What's this f what's this ! oh, heavens! '
he cries,
" That looks so sweetly with its eyes ;
"Ob, shall I catch It? Is it tame ?
" What Is It, father ? what's It's name ?"
Poor Philip knew not wbat to say,
But tried to turn his eyes away.
He crossed himself and made a vow
" 'Tls as I feared, all's over now i '
Then, pr'ytbec, have thy wits let loose ?
It is ft bird men call a goose." '
" A geose I O, pretty, pretty thing 1 ,
And will It slag, too, will It sing I
' O come, come quickly, let us run ,
' That's a good father, catch me one I'
We'll iake it with us to our cell i
Indeed, ludeed, I love It well I"
O Harvest never conies to such as
now not; and bo experience will not,
-unless you -do what God has commanded.
SAVED BY LIGHTNING.
" TT LOOKS like a shower, don't it,
JL Reuben ?" Bald a young, fiilr
looking matron, standing in the door
way of a cabin Juntas the gun wa droop
ing behind the tree-tops to the Went, in
one of the frontier settlements of Min
nesota. A young man, hardy and strong, was
coming up from the " clearing" down by
the river, with the axe lie had been
wielding all through the day thrown
over his shoulder. These words: from
his wife saluted his earn as he came near
and caused him to turn his head and
glance away to the southward, where a
great bank of sable clouds was piled
high against the evening sky.
"Yes, ltuth, it does look like it," ho
answered. " I thought I heard it thun
der just before I left work."
"It looks as though it would be a
heavy one," she said, a little appre
hensively, for to tell the truth, she was
a little cowardly In this respect.
To this her husband made no reply,
but plnyfully pushing her asido from
the doorway, he entered the cabin, aud
at once took down his rifle from the
hooks where it was bulging.
" What have you seen to shoot, Iteu
ben V" she said. " Don't go out again
to-night, for supper Is waiting now."
" I am not going," lie answered quiet
ly. " I am only making sure that my
rifle is In good order but still I may
have no occasion to use it before morn
ing." The young wife turned pale.
" You don't mean to say thut the sav
ages are here again V" she asked.
" You may as well know the truth at
once, Ruth," said here husband, looking
her full in the face. " There are red
skins hanging about here, and I am
afraid they mean us mischief. I've seen
no less than three at one time within
an hour, Bkulklng along in the edge of
the wood. Their motions tell me that
we had better be on our guard to-night
were they friendly they would have
come openly to me or to the cabin."
" Oh, Iteuben ! what shall we do ?"
and her eyes sought the bed, where a
rosy-cheeked boy of some two summers
was laying fast asleep.
"We must do the best we can. The
cabin is stout and strong, and I doubt
about their being able to break in should
they try it. But you must have a lot of
courage, ltuth. May be it won't be
needed, and I hope it won't. Now let
us make su re that the cabin is all right,
and then we will have the supper which
you say is wailing."
He spoke cheerfully, but could not dis
pel the fears that filled her Ireart, and
made her face as pale as deaths
The heavy oaken shutters of the two
small windows were put In place and
made secure there, and then the door
was closed and barred, and a largo stick
of timber that was kept for that purpose
was placed against it. When the prepa
rations had been completed Reuben on
nounced that he was ready for his sup
per. This was soon placed upon the
table, and it must be confessed that the
danger "which hovered over them did not
in the least diminish his appetite. But
ltuth could hardly swallow a mouthful,
and she wondered how it was that her
husband could. She was thinking only
of the danger that menaced them, and
listening for the slightest sound thut
came from without.
Tho darkness increased, and thesound
of distant thunder broke upon their ears.
Through a chink in the shutter they
saw that the cloud in the South was fast
rising and spreading itself over the
heavens, hastening on the fast-coming
darkness.
"We shall get a good shower," said
lleuben.
" I hope so," answered his wife. " If
there is it may keep the savages under
cover of the forest to-night."
" Marls I" said Keuuen, " what was
"thatr"'
Both were silent, and holding their
breath to listen. In a moment thesound
was repeated. It was a footstep with
out, ltuth trembled with apprehen
sion. Then another aud another was
heard.
The redskins were about the cabin.
They have come," said Ruth, in a
low tone.
"Yes" said Reu ben. "Hark! let us
see what they mean to do."
A minute later, and the door was
shaken violently. Then a savage with
out exclaimed, in broken English :
" White mau open door. Injius want
to come in."
To this appeal t Reuben made no
answer. He had no idea, of granting
the request.and words he knew would do
no good. Again the demand was made.
But, as before, no answer was made.
Then there came a few minutes of si
lence on their part. The mutterings of
the thunder were nearer and deeper.
The tempest was fast coming. Sudden
ly there came io fearful a blow upon the
door that it mado the entire cabin trem
ble, while ltuth gave utterance to a
shrill cry of alarm.
" Courage," wild her husband; "they
are trying to batter the door down, but
I hardly think they can dolt. They can
not so long as the prop holds as well ns
It does now."
"It Is not for myself 1 rear," shesuld.
" It is for our child, lleuben."
" We will do our best to save him, and
our own lives," he answered. " Kven
though the door gives way, with my
I'lflo I can do much to save us."
Once more a terrible blow was dealt
upon the door, and at the same moment
a vivid flash of lightning, followed by a
peal of thunder that seemed to shake the
solid earth. So tremendous was the
blow the savages dealt that the prop
against the door gave way, and fell
from its place, and the door Itself trem
bled as though it was coming down.
The heart of Reuben sunk within his
breast. Another such a blow must place
them at the mercy of the savages. Only
his rllle would stand between them aud
death. But at this moment Providence
interposed its hand. As though the peul
of thunder had been a signal for the
tempest to commence, the rain came
down in torrents. Not knowing the ex
ecution their last blow had done, the
savages hesitated as the storm broke
upon them.
A little way from the cabin stood a
large oak that the settlers had spared for
Its beauty and grateful shade. To the
shelter of this the savages fled, to wait
until the tempest was over. Thus our
friends had a respite for a time. Hastily
Reuben replaced the prop, and did his
best to make the door secure again.
Ten minutes passed and the rain came
down as though there was a Becond
deluge upon the earth. He heard
nothing of the savages, but he thought
he knew where they were, and that the
attack would be renewed as soon as the
rain had cleared.
Suddenly there came a vivid flush of
lightning, followed by a report that
seemed to shake tbe earth as though it
was a leaf suspended in mtd-alr. For a
long time they sat half dazed and
stunned by the report, and when at last
they were themselves again the rain had
ceased. A bright light shone without,
and-Reuben once more gazed through
the crevice to see what it meant.
The oak was riven Into a thousand
fragments, and its trunk was on fire.
Scattered among the debris lay tho
mangled forms of the savages. The
same Mow that hud blasted the oak had
deprived them all of life.
In after days Reuben and Ruth told
their grandchildren how it was that they
were saved by lightning.

Tricks of an Amateur Bartender,,
TIIK Xcvada Enterprise says: The
Hon. Hugh Carl I n, of Lyons Co.,
was in Virginia City last week. He is
naturally good-natured and unsus
pecting, but don't presume too far, or he
will be sure to drop on your little game.
Some time ago Hugh was in Eureka.
Not having anything to do when he
first arrived lu the town, he wore away
a good deal of time at a saloon kept by
an old acquaintance, whom he happen
ed find there.
One morning this friend had some
business out of town and got Hugh to
take charge of the bar, during his ab
sence. Hugh laid aside Ills hat and
took up his position.
Some person who was in the saloon
when Hugh thus took command went
out among the boss jokers of the town.
In pursuance of a plan agreed upon the
first customer that arrived said, as he
marched up to the bar : " Got any real
first-rate whiskey V"
" Have I got any real good whiskey 1
Haven't II You don't find anything
else passed over this bar. Never was a
finer package of whiskey lugged Into
Eureka than what is on tap back in the
storeroom!"
The man poured out a big horn, took
a light swallow of it and began cough
ing. He coughed so hard that he was
obliged to set down hi9 glass. He then
clapped both hands upon his stomach
and coughed himself all about the room
coughed his hat oft and coughed till
the tears streamed down his cheek till
he seemed not to have strength left to
cough more, or to utter a syllable, when
he took his handkerchief from his eyes,
shook his fist at tbe astonished bar-keeper,
and rushed out of tbe saloon without
a word, leaving his glass of liquor stand
ing on the cpunter.
Hugh was frightened and bewildered.
He took the whiskey bottle, held it up to
the light, and carefully examined It,
fearing he had made some mistake.
Finally, to make sure, he tasted it, and
found it to be whiskey, and pretty fair
whiskey, too.
He had but little more than recovered
his' usual serenity 'of mind when a gen
tleman came in and said.; ' Have you got
any good brandy real genuine brandy
no manufactured stuff?"
"Wbat do you take us for?" cried
Hugh. " There's not a drop of doctored
liquor of auy kind about this establish
ment. No such brandy aa this was ever
before brought to Eureka. It cost $22
a gallon lu Sun Francisco. It's like oil !''
The customer poured out a liberal al
lowance, but hud no sooner eUcmpted
to swallow It than he began coughing
and spit out what he had taken into hi
mouth. He held botli hands to hi
checks and whirled around on one heel
liko a dancing Dervish, then ran for the
water pitcher, and finally began cough
ing as though he would cough up his
lungs.
" Ough, o-otigh hoop!" coughed he.
" Call that brandy 1"' and, doubled up
like a half-open Jack-knife, he coughed
himself out of the saloon.
Again was Hugh astounded,and again
he critically Inspected the liquor he had
dealt out. He was finally convinced
that it was all right, but that the fault
was in the people something wrong
with them.
About the time he hud arrived at thin
conclusion a man came in, and, spread
ing himself out before the bar to good
advantage, Bald : " Have you got a good
article of gin renl good, pure gin 5"'
" Of course we have, never keep any
thing else. What do you take us for V
and Hugh reached down the gin bottlo
from a shelf behind him with his left
hand, while with his right he brought
up from under the bar a cocked revol
ver, which he pointed at the head of hi
customer as he placed the bottle before
him, saying, " Now, you cough, d n
you!"
That customer didn't cough.
Wanted an Even Chance.
THERE is one figure that stands out
refreshingly cool and unique dur
ing these troublesome times. This way
John M. Dooly, tho man who announo
ed thut he would i.ot fight under any
circumstances. He was probably the
most brilliant man produced in that era,
prolific of giants, lie was tho peer of
Crawford on any field, and his superior
in the forum. His abilities were tranv
cendent, and his failure to make a
national reputation arose doubtless from
no other cause than his refusal to fight
on any and all occasions. A non-combatant
could not hold hia head up In
those turbulent times. Dooly had the
most delicious humor, and a sharp
tongue withal. He was continually get
ting Into trouble because of his satiracal
sayings. He was perfectly fearless of
speech. Judge Gresham once threaten
ed to chastise him. Dooly replied :
" You can do so if you like. You'll
get no credjt for it, however. Anybody
can do it, and a great many have done
it."
He was once knocked down by a man
that he introduced as the Inferior judge
of the inferior court of the Inferior
county of Lincoln. He called lustily on
the spectators for help, and when res
cued from his antagonist,, rubbed his
head and remarked, drily :
" Well, that is the forty-second fight I
have been engaged in, and if I ever got
tho best of a single one I do not now re
member it."
Poor Dooly's peace proclivities were?
fully known, he was challenged to mor
tal combat by a Mr. Tate, who came to
the field with Mr. W. H. Crawford as
his second. Dooly accepted the chal
lenge. Tate had lost a leg and wore a
wooden one. When he and his friend
reached the field they found Dooly alone,
sitting on a stump.
" Where Is your friend V" asked Craw
ford, in some surprise.
" IJe is In the woods, sbr!'
" And will be presenOn a moment,
sir, I suppose K" ,
"Yes, as soon as lie can find a bee
gum." " May I Inquire what he wants with a-bee-gum
5"'
" Why, I want to put my leg in it.
Do you suppose I can afford to risk my
leg of flesh against Tate's leg of wood i
If I hit his leg, he will get another to
morrow and peg as away as usual. If
he hits mine, it may kill me or compel
me to stump it like him for the balance
of my life. No, sir; I must have a gum.
Then I will be just as much wood as he
is, and we will be on equal terms."
"I understand you, Colonel Dooly ;
you do not intend toIght."
" Why, really ,Col.'Crawford,Ithought
everybody knew that."
" Very well, sir; but remember, Colo
nel, your name in no enviable light will
fill the column of a newspaper to-morrow."
."I assure you, my dear sir, I had
rather fill every column in every news
paper in Georgia than one coffin."
Always a Chance.
It is scarcely necessary to remind rea
sonable men that if they wish to be tad
and sour, to grumble and complain, there
is always a chance. Jteaserns for belrg
cast down and dejected are as plenty as
blackberries In' tbe height of harvest. If
one thing goes right, you may be sure
there is always something else going
wrong; and if one thing is In order,
something else Is out of joint, or at any
rate soon will be. The chief different
in the feelings and dispositions of people
results from the different way of looking
at things. Few nights are so dark that
no stars are to be seen ; the thing Is to
look them out and keep your eyes ou
them, and make the most of what light
you can discover.
