THE TIMES NEW UL00MF1EL1), FA., OCTOUKU 7, 1870. A Daughter's Statagem. JUDGE UOSE lived In Belleville, on the banks of the great river in the West. Every ytmr lie went to Vanh. ington, and his voice was often heard In the halls of Congress. Yet, though he was called great he was not good, le eauaehe was very fond of drinking wine, brandy, etc., and frequented the gambling rooms so numerous in that city. These habits gained upon him dally, until they couquered all his moral strength. Ill townsmen refused to send him as their delegate any longer. Judge Itose had an amiable wife and three pretty daughters. Mary, the eldettt, was his special pet. lid thought more of her than of himself, and no wish of hers went ungratllied. She was of a sweet disposition, and so obedient and respectful to her parents, and kind to every one about her, that she was beloved by everybody. And, although her father's dwelling was the most elegant, and they had beautiful grounds, and tine clothes, she never put ou airs, as many do, but was modest and retiring. Mr. ltose and his wife and daughters were all members of a Christian Church. He wtts often suspended from Its fellow ship, and ou promises of repentance, received ugalin Ills Influential position in society, and the pious conduct of his wife and daughters, caused much pity for them and elicited much patience They hoped by love and forbearance to restore him wholly. But all the love of his family and of the church did not stop this erring man lu his downward course. At last so low did he full as to lose all self respect, and frequent the lowest whiskey shops In the towu. Dully he went out unsliaved, unwashed, rugged, and almost naked, and when drunk would sing some low song, which would draw around him a crowd of boys to jeer und laugh, and scorn the once (lignilled and respected judge. In per sonal uppearance lie was now the lowest of the low. It is not to be supposed that Christian and temperance men allowed such a man to ruin himself without efforts to save him. Earnest and persevering endeavors were put forth, prayers were offered up, and his family left noavenue to his heart unentered, but all were alike useless and hopeless. His wife Hud daughters wept and prayed, but despaired entirely. Mary, his pet, often labored to save her father from open disgrace, if not from private sin. Blie became very sad, und refused to attend church, or go Into society. When her father was sober, he had sense enough to perceive the sorrowful change iu his once happy Mary, and seemed to regret his course more for her sake than his own. One morning he started as usual for the drinking shop. He was a terrible object, Indecent to look at, as well as filthy. His wife tried to hold him back, and get him, at least, to put some decent clothing, but he would not yield. Mary made her appearance by hi9 slde.clothed In rags, low at the neck, bare armed and bonnetless, with an old whisky bottle in her baud. Taking her father's arm, she said, " Come, father, I'm going too." "Going where V" said he, staring at her us if horror struck. To tlitj dram shop. What's good for you is good tor me." Then she began to flourish her bottle and sing one of the low songs she had heard him sing iu the streets. "Go back girl, you are crazy ; mother take her in." " But I am going, father, with you, to ruin my soul and body. It is of no use lor me to be good, while you are going off to the bad place. You'll be lonely there without your Mary." " Go away, girl, you'll drive me mail." But you have been mad for a long time, and I am going mad, too. What do I care 't My father is only a poor, eld, despised drunkard; his daughter may as well get drunk and lay iu the gutter, too." 8.0 Mury pulled away at her father's arm, and went on to the gate. He drew back ; the still hung ou and sung louder. A few boys began to run towards them, und then her lather broke from her hold uinl went into ttie house ; there he sat down, und putting his face in his lmmls, wept uud sobbed aloud. Still Mury staid out. What is the mutter'!"' atked Mrs. Kose. Mary is crazy, and 1 have made her so. 1 v ibh 1 was deud. Do go and get her in. 1 won't go out to-day." Mr. IlobO went out uud told Mary what her lather had said, and then she went in. Hue sat down with her bottle iu her hand, and all the duy she kept ou her old rugs. Mr. lloce was lu a terrible state for want of his accustomed stimulus, uud frequently would go to the door, but Mary was ready at his side ou every occasion. Mrs. Hose pre pared the meals with extra care, and gave her husband cups of good strong coffee, and the latter part of the day ha lay down to sleep. When lie awoke up, Mary was still there In her rags, and her bottle by her side. With much trembling and shaking he put on a good suit of clothes and asked his wife for a barber. Then after tea he said, " I am going out." " Where V" " To the temperance hall. Go with me, and see If I do not go there." So Mrs. Kose went with him to the door of the hall, Mary still saying, "I must follow, for I'm afraid he'll go to the whisky shop without me." But his wife saw him go up the stairs and enter the meeting roy,m, and the door closed upon him. Then she and Mary went home to rejoice with tremb ling at the success of their stratagem. Surprise, joy, and some distrust per vaded the minds of the assembly of temperance brothers when Mr. Itose walked In. He was Invited forward, and asked to speak whatever he wished. He rose and told the tale of the day, and added, " When I saw my angel daughter was transformed Into a low, filthy creature; when I knew how much lower she would have to descend if she went with me, I abhored myself. Blie vowed she would go everywhere I went, and do everything I did. Could I see her do that) Her loveliness stained, her diameter ruined she pure as an angel 1 No, slrsl if It kills me I will leave off und never touch, taste or han dle more from this night, henceforward and forever. And now, gentlemen, help me to be a man again." The building vibrated Willi the cheer ing, stamping and chipping, and a gush of song rose from those manly hearts which might have been heard for miles. Oh I " there Is joy In heaven over one sinner that repenleth," and should there not be Joy on earth ? We hope God converted the soul of Mr. Itose, for he became u good man, and his family was happy. But we hope no other daughter will have to resort to so painful a remedy to save her father. Wiu ding Up a Horse. THE 11EV. DU. CHAMBERLAIN, In a letter to the " Americau Mis sionary," from Mudnapllly, India, gives the following singular experience he had with a bulky horse ; Nineteen years ngo, Bays the venerable divine, I bought iu Madras a peculiar kind of horse. He had to be wound up to make him go. It was not a machine, but a veritable live horse. When breaking him to go In the car riage he had been Injured.. An accident occurred in starting him the first time, and he was thrown and hurt and fright ened. It made him timid; afraid to start. After he had once started he would never balk, until taken out of the carriage. He would start and stop and go on us many times as you pleased, but It was very difllcult to get him started at first each time he was har nessed to the carriage. He was all right under the saddle, an excellent riding horse, and would carry me long distances iu my district work, so that I did not Wish to dispose of him; but I could not afford to keep two; whatever I had must go In carriage as well as ride, and I determined that I would conquer. How I have worked over that horse 1 At first it sometimes took me an hour to get him started from my door. At last, after tiylng everything I had ever heard of, I lilt upon an expedient that worked. I took a strong bamboo stick two feet long and over an inch thick. A stout cord loop was passed through a hole two inches from its end. This loop we would slip over his left ear down, to the roots, and turn the stick round and round aud twist it up. It is euid that a horse can retain but one Idea at a time in its small brain. Boon the twisting would begin to hurt. His attention would be abstracted to the pain iu his ear. He would forget all about a carriage being hitched to him, bend down his head, and walk off as quiet us a lamb. When he had gone u rod the horse-boy would begin to un twist, soon alt' would come the cord, aud the horse would be all right for the duy. The remedy never failed. After having It ou two or three times he objected to the operation, aud would spring about uud rear aud twitch uud back, anything but start ahead, to keep it from being applied. We would have, two of us, to begin to put and rub about his neck uud head. He would not know which had the key. All at ouce it would be ou his eur uud winding up. The moment it begun to tighten he would be quiet, stand and hear it as long us he could, uud then oil' he would go. It never took thirty seconds to get him off with the key. It would take uu hour without. After a little he ceased objecting to have it put on. He seemed to suy to himself, " I have got to give in, and may as well do It at once," but lie would not start without the key. Iu a' few months he got so that, as soon as we got into the carriage, he would bend down his head to have the key put on, and one or two turns of the key would be enough. Then the key became unnecessary. He would bend down his head, tipping Ids left ear to the horse hoy, who would take it in his hand and twist it, aud off he would go. My native neighbors said, "That horse must he wound up1 or lie cannot run," And it did seem to be so. When he got so that the "winding Up" was nothing but a form, I tried to break him of that, but could not succeed. I would pat him and talk to him and give him a little salt or sugar or bread, and then step quietly Into the carriage and tell him to go. "No." Coax him. "No." Whip him. "No." Legs braced, every muscle tense for resistance. A genuine balk. Stop and keep quiet for an Instant, and he would hold down Ids head, bend over his ear, and look arouud for the horse boy appeallngly, saying very earnestly by his actions, " Do please wind me up. I can't go without, but I'll go gladly If you will." The moment his ear was touched, and one twist given, off he would go ns happy and contented as ever horse could be. Many hearty laughs have we and our friends hud over the winding up of the horse. If I were out ou a tour for a mouth or two and he was not hitched to the carrluge, or if he stood In the stable with no work for a week or two during the monsoon, a real winding up had to take place the first time lie was put in. We kept him six years. The last week I owned him I had to wind him up. I sold the patent to the man that bought the horse, and learned from him that he hud to use It as long as the horse lived. A DISGUSTED CANDIDATE. WHILE COLONEL ALLEN was discussing National finances on the hotel piazza Colonel Tom Crittenden quietly slid down off the platform and circulated among the crowd. He wore a delicate white-duck suit blue necktie and patent-leather pumps, and was the cynosure of all female eyes ou the prem ises. Colonel Tom, with an eye to business, began ogling the babies. " O, you sweet little darling," said Colonel Tom, addressing a fuzzy, pop. eyed child that lolled lazily In Its moth er's arms under one of the trees ; " how old Is It, ma'am V" "Four months, sir," said the fond mother. "A little girl, eh V" said Colonel Tom. " No, a boy," replied the mother. " Ah, yes, now that I come to look at it more closely I detect the strong manly features of a boy," the Colonel hastened to say. " Please, may I kiss the little cherub y" Colonel Tom Bhut his eyes and ex ploded an oscillatory sound on the fuzzy face, and the child put up a big lip and threatened to cry. "He Is such a beautiful child," mur mured Colonel Tom, " such eyes, such a head, such an expanse of forehead, such a mouth, such a wealth of complexion, such a sweet, trauqull expression." " La me, you don't really think so, do you V" simpered the flattered mother. " I never saw a sweeter little cherub," said Colonel Tom ; "I believe I'll have to kiss him again." Having goie through a second oscula tory martyrdom, Colonel Tom assumed a seraphlo look a look calculated to strike taffy to the most hardened fem inine heart, and got right down to business. " I'm a Candidate for Governor," said he, " and nothing would give me greater joy than to feel assured that I hud the support of the father of the sweet babe. Come, let me hold the little darling in my arms. I do think he Is ust the sweetest little angel I ever saw 1 " The flattered mother gave up the fuzzy boy with profuse apologies about its not being well-dressed, etc. ; hoped it would not trouble the gentleman, etc. ; glad to know, he admired it so much, etc, The fuzzy baby writhed and squirmed and grew red in the fuce, and wrinkled itself all up, and then luy calm and composed on Colonel Tom's strong right arm. "The little precious!" cried Colonel Tom. " You'll tell his father how much I thought of his little cherub, wou't you nia'uui ! And you tell him I'm u candidate for Governor, eh, ma'um V The poor woman's fuce dropped und big salt tears came Into her eyts. " O, sir," she said, "you don't know whut you ask. My poor husband died two months ago." There was a far-off look la Colonel Tom Crittendon's goldeu-glinted eyes as he gently but firmly dumped that fuzzy buliy on the bereuved woman's lap and walked straight back to the platfoiln and replaced himself ou a bench. -St. Louis Timet Journal. A Missing Husband. WITH a married couple who came out to Colorado to live some three yean ago, says a Denver paper, came a A young widow, who, without being at all beautiful, possessed that in her face and manner which made her more than attractive. Intelligent and a pleasing conversationalist, she soon became a flu vorlle in Denver society ,whleh admitted her into its midst without asking any questions. About a year ago she became the wife of a well-to-do-merchant named Harris, and after her marriage her pop ularlty increased rather than diminish ed. It now becomes necessary to go back five years to the time when this same lady became the wife of Captain Sargent. They were married at the young lady's home at Boston, and soon after the event her husband was obliged to take his vessel out to Calcutta. Not wishing to live alone during Ids long ab sence, Mrs. Sargent left Bostou Just be fore her husband's departure, and went to Chicago to live with a married sister. In due time she received a letter from the captain, dated at Calcutta, saying that he was soon to sail for Baltlmoreou the return voyage. Shortly after the receipt of this letter Airs. Sargent re moved with her sister to Colorado, not, however, until she had written her hus band telling him of her chango of resi dence, and directing the letter to Balti more to await his arrival. Months passed, and finally the young wife wrote to Baltimore, asking If her husband's vessel hud ever arrived and to this let ter she received a reply that no such ves sel had ever been in that port. In the course of another year Mrs. Sargent came to accept her widowhood as a matter of course, and after a time yielded to the importunities f Mr. Harris and became his wife. Captain Sargent meanwhile had received orders from his owners to take ou a cargo for another foreign port Instead of return ing to Baltimore; so it was fully two yeurs before he relumed to this country. He then heard to his dismay that his wife had removed from Chicago, leaving no trace behind her; and after brooding over his 111 fortune for a few weeks, the discouraged captain agujn went to sea. After another long ab-nce he return ed to Boston, and then it wus that he called upon an old friend of his wife and ascertained that she had removed to Colorado. Sargent determined to quit the sea for good, und immediately started for Deliver. The meeting between the honest captain and the woman whom he had ouce called his wife, the Denver pa per assures its readers, was dramatic in the extreme. The terrible question which then presented Itself was difllcult of solution. Both men were honest men of the world, and the only way out of the dilemma seemed to be to leave the question wholly to the lady. It was tacitly understood that before another duy either the lady would return to the East with Captain Burgent or that he would return alone and forever. There were no children to be taken into con sideration or to turn the balance In cither's favor. The conscientious lady is said to have shut herself up iu her chamber all night to decide thy ques tion which so deeply all'ected three 11 ves. In the morning she delivered her ver dict, and then broke down, an attack of brain fever being the result. The follow ing dny Captain Sargent returned to the East never to return. The Denver pa per's story should be entitled, "The Romance of a Misdirected Letter." The King' Road in Florida. A Jacksonville letter says: Occasion ally I come across something quite old in Florida. Recently I traveled a por tion of what Is called the King's road. This was constructed by the Spaniards in 1503, when Philip the Sewnid bore sway, aud conuectcd St. Augustine with w hat Is now St. Mury,Georgla. The road was cut on as straight a line as possible through timber, and in places causeways had to be made through swamps. In these places pin and cedar trees had been felled and their trunks used as a foundation for the road the whole be ing covered with earth thrown up from either side. In the ditches thus mode cypress trees of large size now grow, at testing the uge of the work I am de scribing. Many of the swamps of Flori da ut one seusou of the year are dry, and this road was built w hen the ground was clear of water. It would have been Im possible to have constructed It at any other time. Much of the pine and cedar used iu making this road is in a good de- gree of preservation to-day, and proves the enduring qualities of these species of wood. On Bice creek the sluice gates, made of cedar by the English settlers some time between 17li3 and 1783, when Great Britain jwssessed Florida are re. markuble for their solidity aud freedom from decay. Rice was extensively cultl vated along this stream, and hence the name aud existence of sluice gates for Hooding the land at the proper lime. Keep your mouth shut aud your eyes open. DI1.
