How Joe Weakened.
In that great horse ahee bend of
tke Little Bear Paw Mountain, which
catches a great flood of annahine at
noon-day, we had a Tillage. Sixty
atrong ana sturdy men were digging
into the bate of the black-topped
mountain in search of silver.
We were not in luck, and though
each man was gloomy and discour
aged, there was no excise for mur
der. We had bunded together to
share and share uiike, and if fortune
smiled on one all would receive boil-
• tits.
One night when the day’s toil of
fifty-seven men yielded an estimate
of cnly tti, the miners cursed and
swore and felt like strikiug each oth
er. We were short of provisions,
new tools were needed, and the men
turned in for the night with a deter
mination to strike for some other lo
cality if the next day's work should
exhibit like barren results.
At midaight there was a great out
cry. It was not an Indian attack,
as each miner anticipated when he
rushed out, but a horrible murder
had been committed, aud the murder
er captured by one of the aeutinels.
A miner named Joseph Swum, but
hardly known in camp by any other
name than “Joe,” occupied a tent in
company with an eld mau named
Arnold. The two were on good
terms, hut while Arnold had about
*800 in gold ooiu, acquired in other
speculations, Swain hadn’t a dollar
outside theoommoa fuud. The gold
was buried in the earth under the bed
•n which the two slept, aud Swain
could not get at it by uiglit without
•rousing his companion. Ilad he se
cured it during the day aud made off
ht would have been overhauled very
q.ioklji and hie puuiaiiment nothing
lees than hanging. Itcuuldbeno
more it be added murder to the rob-
bery, and that uiglit, when we ail
felt so bitter against luck, and when
partners felt so much like striking
•aoh other, Joe Swain murdered the
mau who had doue so muoh for him.
Q« was getting away with the gold
when halted, and though he made a
sharp fight for liberty he was tied
hand and foot within five minutes
•Iter the first alarm.
Arnold was dead, slabbed in three
or four places, and the gold was found
in Jos’s belt. There was no show
for the murderer. He ceuld not
even plead impulse or heat of pas-
eiou. Indeed he was not the one to
•void consequences. He mode a
•tateinent to the effect that lie had
deliberately murdered aud robbed
tbe good old man, and added:
“Now, boys, there’s no use of a
great fuss over this matter. Put a
guard over me, and the rest of you go
baok to your sleep. You’ll hang me
of oourBe, and when morning comes
I shall have a request to make. I
shan’t try to get away, and I am not
going to play the baby when tbe last
hour comes.”
Joe Swaitt was known among ub as
a game man. He had fought Mexi
cans, trailed Indians and killed three
or four white ruffluns who had made
themselves a terror to oertain locali
ties. Armed with his bowie-knife he
would have been a match for any
four of us, and it was owing to his
prssenoe more than that of any one
else that our village was not troubled
with the roughs aud gamblers who at
tach themselves like leeches to other
camps.
Murder was a orime that could not
palliated in a mining camp. Had it
been anything else the majority of
the nun weuld have been iu favor of
letting Joe jump the diggings and go
■ unpunished. But when they looked
in on the white-faoed end blood
stained oorpee of tbe good old man
who had been lit* e Cither to all of
them, enoli neart hardened against
tbs murdsrer, and each man said to
the other:
"Joe Swain mast hang for thisl”
Than was no need of a trial.
When he wag brought oat after
breakfast, he said:
“Boys, I don’t won’t any fuss over
this thing. I killed the old man,
and it is ybur duty to swing me up to
a limb. I knew wbat I was up to,
and I kasw I’d have (o stretch a rope
if I oouldn’t get away. I don’t de-
ssrve a hind word and I shan’t look
for any sympathy. The request that
I want to make 1s that you woii’t
hang me till sunset I know it is
bad to have one ot these affairs hang'
ing around the oomp all day, but vet
it won’t ninke no great difference to
you as long as you are working for
almost nothing. Now then all in
favor of waiting till sunset to hung
me say aye 1”
“Ayel” shouted every man around
him.
“Those oppose will say no)”
“The ayes have it, and I am to be
hung at sundown,continued Joe. “1
want to write half* dozen letters and
sleep for two or three hours, and I
hope you Wont orowd ill on me. Se
lect your tree, get your rope ready
and when the time comes I’ll be on
hand.’’
If Joe had been a captive in the
hands of tlie Indians, and was to be
burned at the stake at sundown, ev
ery miner would have wagered his
outfit that Joe would have died game.
In this case, where he was to meet a
disgraoeful death at the bands of the
mon who had worked and fought be
side him for months, most of the
miners thought he’d take the noose
without the quiver of a muscle; but
there wore two or three who said:
“He is a brave man, but wlieti ht
takes his last look arouud he will
weaken.”
Before the day was four hours old
there wae a strange wager between
two of our men. It was rifle against
rifle that' Joe Swain would show a
woman’s heart before he swung off.
The doomed man was left to him
self all day long. A strong guard
was placed about his tent, but no one
entered it to interrupt the work of
his last hours. The corpse of his
victim was buried nt the foot of the
lone tree on which Joe was to owing,
and as the six men carried the^body
past near hie tent the murderer came
out and stood with nHoovered head
to show his respect for the dead. He
wrote five letters, drew up a brief
will, ate a full meal about inid-nfter-
noon, and about half an hour before
su ndown he was ready. Before start-
ing for tbe tree, he said: “After I am
gone yon will find my will. The
letters iu there are to be forwarded
os soon as convenient This is a
shabby old suit of clothes to be hung
in, but it’s all I had, and I couldn’t
go around borrowing. Have you got
the rope and the barrel read?”
Yes, everything is all ready,” re
plied a voice.
That’s right,” said Joe. “Now,
then, form in procession, give me a
conspicous place, aud we’ll march
along.”
The man wasn’t smiling. Hisface
was pals, his eyes hud an anxious
look, and it was plain that lie realiz
ed the grininess of his lust hour on
earth. The processiou was formed,
and Joe marohed away for tho tree
as steadily us a soldier on parade.
His hands and feet were free, and as
he halted betide the old barroll, with
the noose dangtiag above his head
ho said;
“Boys, tie my hands behind my
back, and after you lift me up tie my
feet together. If yon make a bun*
gle of this you’ll get a bad name all
through the diggiugs.”
When Jo* stood on the barrel, the
noose around hie neck, the men fell
back a little. He looked from man
to man with steady eye, looked up at
the limb, anil then looked over the
heads of the men ont upon the green
prairie. The sinking sun had filled
the grass with millions of sparkling
jewels. A score of antelope were
trottiug along abontumile away;
great birds were sailing toward the
Kockies with a lazy wing; the flow
ers never seemed so thiok and beauti
ful as then.
For a moment we all looked south
ward and there wag something in
the vision that softened every heart.
When we looked np at Joe again
we hardly knew him. All the hard
linee had melted ont of his face, hie
eyes wen fall of tears, and there was
a sob in his throat, M he turned and
whispered:
“Don’t blame me, boys—it is my
last look on earth! Now, do' yonr
duty!”
Not a man moved—net a man
conld move.
Taking- a swift glance over the
prairie and another np the mountain
side, Joe Solltiy said: “God forgive
me that I was not a better mini—”
lie fell forward off the barrel, his
own executioner, and no mau Jared
look up until the body hung limp
and lifeless.
Joe had weakened. All those who
had bet on his “game” lost. Yet,
when we talked it over in low voices
at the oamp fire we agreed that bruve
Joe’s bravest act of a lifetime was
shown when the tenderness was al
lowed to oreep into his heart and his
eyes to fill with tears—when he
proved to us that he had a soul.
Tho Ideal Woncu.
If woman is God’s best gift to
man, would not the gift be more ful
ly aypreci Jed and more generally
acknowledged if she were able to
cope with him in intellectual attuin-
mentsf The ideal woiuhii of the
present day is of rare occurrence, and
she ought to be regarded us an ex
ample worthy of imitation. She is,
by her own sex, ostracized, with the
paltry excuee, “too masonline in hor
views to please us.” Is this retribu
tion?
How many sooioty young ladies of
to-day cun oonverse with you a half
an hour on the classics, or even the
standard writers of modern litera
ture? Not one out of ten. While you
may find them earnest and ready lis
teners in respeot to some eloquent
and, to you, interesting theme, you
will hardly have ceased the narrative
before your attention is culled to
some new display of fashion. With
this thought in mind is it tube won
dered at that “Sarchedon” became a
cynic?
Oan our libraries boast of a great
er or more ennobling author thau
Shakespeare? And yet we are told
that not only his works, but those
—..'Milton »|t immoral. .wht'.:l! f I^have
no reason to deny if they were read
witli a view only, of ascertaining
just the amount of immorality they
do contain. Gan we boast of greater
men than those produced in the six.
teenth centuries? And yet how utter
ly they are disregarded by the aver
age woman of to-day, whose only am
bition teems to be the perusal of
some “good old love story!” But is
site only to blame for the preference?
No! It is but just to attribute it part
ly to man, who, though unwilling to
acknowledge it, lias only been too
lavish in his affection, uutil the in
dividual woman has become so exal
ted thut she net only considers her
self able to cope with mau, but far
superior to him iu intellect.
How untrue is tills of the ideal
woman, the jealous worker, who ev
ery day beoomes aware of how little
in tlie vast sea of knowledge she has
accomplished! Then it iB she becomes
the true philosopher und realizes
thut “God’s universe is within the
head, whether there be a torn skull
cap oru king’s diadem.”
Care of the Teeth.
1. Be careful not to hold any fluid
or solid substances in tlie mouth, ei
ther too hot or too celd. Neither
bite ns mash any liurd substances,
as nuts, etc., with tlie teeth.
2. Have the teeth inspected every
four or six months by a cureful den
tist,
3. Prevent any accumulation of
tartar on the teeth.
4. After every meal, thoroughly
oleause the mouth with clear water.
5. Keep the stomach in good oon-
ditiou by the diet, for the secretions
of the moutii are generally iu sym
pathy with the stomach.
6. Every nignt and moruing clean
the teeth withk brush, passing it
thoroughly over the tops aud on the
backs of all. ,
7. Whenever \ the tooth aches, ap
ply to a dentist for a permanent
ours.
8. Never have\n tooth extracted
without consulting a dentist, for it
is better to preserve them by Ailing,
if possible.
9. Parents sbouldWrly carry their
children to a dentist,.who will advise
them how to have thlir teeth grow
even, regular and beaktifui.
“Bill, how did you dnd Tom end,

THE INVESTIGATION.
A Ringing Letter From Senator Hill.
Editors Ohroniolo und Constitu
tionalist: Several friends have asked
me to give'tp tlie publio my views of
the wisdom and propriety of the in-
vestigution ordered by ihe House of
Rep resell Utiies, known us the Pot
ter investigation.,,
I think a correct knowledge of the
inner history of the fatuous Presi
dential count would add much to a
correct understanding of the wisdom
and necessity of that investigation.
My own views were clearly indicated
in what I said in the first caucus
held by tho Democratic members of
the House immediately after the first
decision made on tho Florida case.
The decision was made on the 10th
of February, 1877, whs published on
Saturday, the 10th, caucus was held
on Monday flight, the 13th. The
partisan purpose of a majority of the
Commission was munilestly leveuled
by thut decision. The indigimtion
of the Democrats was intense. Be
fore going into tho caucus I thor
oughly considered the situation and
fully male up my mind us to the
polioy we should pursue. In the
caucus four Democrats—able and ex
cellent gentlemen— three from tlie
West and one from the East, made
very earnest speeches in favor of
using every means the rules would
permit to prevent the completion of
the count by 4th of March. I made
the first speech against the policy.
It was so kindly received, that I
wrote out my remarks afterwards
and preserved them. I think it is
uot improper how to give them to
the public, and I enclose you u copy
for that / ay-pose. Several other
speeches Wejify.made ill support of
these /' "'^tesultM tlie .de
bate was tin! pailhga of a resolution,
by a large majority, pledging the
Democrats of the House of Repre
sentatives to proceed with the count
according to the Constitution ami
the Eleotoral bill. And this policy
was faithfully pursued to the end.
In the light of these facts the follow
ing propositions are made exceeding
plain:
1. It is rediculous to charge tlie
Democrats with a revolutionary pur
pose now to oust Mr. Hayes when
they so emphatically refused then to
adopt even dilatory proceedings, un
der rules, to prevent ins inaugura
tion.
3. Those who refused to counte
nance any irregular or doubtful
measures then, in order to preserve
tlie peace of the country, stood
pledged to “bring to light” the frauds
afterwards, to the end. that the guil
ty might be punished by oxposure
and such dangerous wrongs be pre
vented iu the future. The Demo
cratic party would be false to itself
and unworthy of tlie confidence of
the country if they did not faithfully
redeem this pledge.
3. In the light of this cauous ac
tion en 13tli of February, how ab
surd becomes tlie charge that til is
policy was adopted in pursuance of a
bargain between Southern Demo
crats and Mr. Hayes’ friends. The
alleged bargain was made two weeks
after this caucus resolution was
adapted. The parties to this bargain
were a few individuals who repre
sented nobody but themselves. Tlie
bargain did not influence or control
a single vote reaching the final re
sult. I do not believe it had any mo
tive but a little personal notoriety—a
distemper, by the way, which troub
les us at every turn—and it 1ms had
no affect but to enable the Republi
cans to smirch, in the public mind,
the most patriotic record ever mude
by any political party. I never heard
of the so-called bargain until I saw
a notice of it in the papers after the
adjournment of Congress. I have al
ways believed und still believe that
this Demooratio caucus saved our
constitutional system from final sub
version by preventing a pretense for
the renewal of civil war by Grant
and his followers. But our work
[Ot be complete and onr duty
it be done until we bring to
fill’ll ;aze of a blushing world the ba
sest frauds ever perpetrated in histo
ry—perpetrated for no purpose but
to enable the Republican party to
hold the offioes of the government
against the will of the people. No
maa acquainted with tbe scents of
the Presidential count, and the mo
tives of thuse who submitted to
wrong rather than hazard the public
peace, will ever charge tho Demo
oratio party with revolution. The
same men aro here who were here
then, and they do not intend, and
will not permit anything irregular,
illegal or revolutionary. But they
will never condone the frauds, nor
give uny quarter to tlie men, high or
low, who committed those frauds.
If the American people shall ever
again trust the party that so wick
edly defrauded them, then the Amer
ican people are willing to defraud
themselves, ami ure ready to surren
der their liberties to rogues. I be-
lievo every prediction in the short
speech I send you will become histo
ry if Democrats do not get afraid to
expose frauds. Bbn.i. H. Hill.

What Religion Does for a Man.
A man without religion is like a
mail living in a planet nnillumina-
ted by tlie sun. He has trees, fruits,
grass and flowers, streams and hills
around them, but they ure only un
dulations of darkness; he has moun
tains, but they are gaunt and gloomy
crags; he has streums, but they are
chill with the touch of darkness aud
death; lie lias fruits, but they have
no sweetness fur a ripeniug sun; he
has trials, but they ure only painful
ascents to be climbed with uneasy
and unhnping patience; he lias work,
but it is cheerless, empty and really
aimless, for the chill streams of death
cuts off all; he has prosperity, but it
is hollow and unpalatable; lie has
friendship, but they are only for
threo score years and ten. But re
ligion lets a light upon all these. The
sun hus risen upon the mountains,
and a crown of glory is upon their
crests; the light fails upon their riv
ers, and they sparkle back radiance,
and murmur along their banks with
joy; the fruits turn hlushing cheeks
towards the sun, aud every flower is
robed in beauty; the sun rises upon
the life. Every trial is lightened by
tho light of God’s love; every labor
sparkles under the beams of His
gift;-all friendship in Him is doub
ly dear because clad in the vesture
of immortality. Yes, who will not
say, indeed, that he who chooses re
ligion has chosen the thing most
needed, und the beat because he has
chosen that which give strength,
beauty and true glory to all the rest?
is not labor dignified by the thought
—To this God oalls him? is not sor
row sanctified by it, for says. ‘In this
God is with me?’ is not success ele
vated by it, for we say, ‘He has pros
pered our handiwork?’ is not friend
ship intensified by it, for we say,
'Then that sleep in Jeans will God
bring with Ilim?’—Quiver.
A Yankee Trick.
“What do you charge for board?”
asked a tall Green Mountain bov, ns
be walked up lo the bar of a second-
rate hotel ir. Now York; “whut do
yon ask a week for board and lodg-
mg?”
‘•Fire dollurs.”
‘‘Fire dollars! that’s too % much,
but I s’ pose you allow for tlie times
I am absent from dinner and sup
per.?”
Certainly, thirty-seven and a
half cents each:”
Here the conversation ended, and
the Yankee took up his quarters for
two weeks, During this time lie
lodged and breakfasted at the. hotel,
but did not take either dinner or
supper, saying his business detained
him in another, portion of the town.
At the expiration of two weeks he
again walked to tlie bar and said:
“S’pose we settlo that account—I’m
going in a few minutes.”
The lanlord handed him liis bill:
Two weeks hoard at (ire dollars—
ten dollars.”
“Ilore, stranger,” said the Yankee,
“Thi’s wrong—you’ve not deducted
the time I was ubsent from dinner
and supper—14 days, two meals per
day: 28 meals at 37$ cents each—10.
60. If you’re not got the fitly cents
that is due to me, I’ll take a drink
and balance in cirgars.”

Tough Yarns.
There is a place in Maine so rocky
that when tho Down Easters plant
corn they look for crevices in the
rocks, and shoot the grains in with
u musket, they can’t raise ducks there
no how, for the stones are so thick
tho ducks can’t get their bills be
tween them to pick up the grass
hoppers, and the only way tlie sheep
can get ut 'the sprig# of grass is by
grinding tjheir nosea ou u grineatone.
But that ain’t a circumstance to a
place on thf Eastern Shore; the land
is so poor that it takes two kildears
to say “Kildeur,” and on a clear day
you can see tho grashopprrs climb
up million stalk und look with tvars
in their eyes over a fifty acre field;
aud the bumble-bees have to go down
on their knees to get at the grass; all
the musquitoes died of starvation,
aud turkey buzzards had toemigrate.
But there is a county in Virginia
thut can beat that; hero tha land is
so sterile that, when the wind is at
the northwest, they hare to tie their
children to keep them from blowing
away; there it takes six frogs to see a
man, and when tbe dogs bark they
have to lean against fences; the hor
ses are so thin that it takes twelve
of them to make a shadow and, when
they kill a beef they have to hold him
up to kuock him down.
Puble Spirit*
So long ns an individual claims to
exercise the privilege of grumbling
aud fault finding at matters of pub
lic concern, and without any effort
his part to correct abuses, improve
methods or to educate the people, let
him remember that, after uil, society
is but the collection of individual in
terest, a bundle ot separate hopes,
desires and industries tied together
by a common bond of union, sympa
thy and public zeal; an association
of effort, impulse and true endeavor,
that is incomplete iu its organization
and purpose so long as a single citi
zen fails to join its ranks, labor for
its progress, or perform his part; in
efficient in a practical work so long
as a part of euch community hangs
like a dead weight upon the ear of
progress. It is a positive sin for any
man selfishly to lock himself up in
the shell ot his own exolusiveuess.
It is a duty every mau owes to socie
ty to lend a helping hand in its di
rection, aud in its preservation. The
flow and value of the river depend
upon the purity and supply at the
fountain head. The character, en
terprise and intelligence of a nation
depend upon the tone and spirit that
actuates and inspires the people of
quiot towns, bustling villages and
crowded cities.
Nothing is so great an instanco of
ill manners as flattery. If yon flatter
all tho company you please none; if
you only flatter one or two, you of
fend the rest.
Insult not misery, neither deride
infirmity, nor ridicule deformity;
the first iB inhuman, the Becond
shows folly, and the third pride.
On Oiiard.
Girls should he particularly care
ful of their association, and act on
the rule that introductions do not al
ways introduce. A suspicious man
ner and a haughty bearing are nei
ther necessary nor pleasing; one may
he civil and polite without intimacy.
But it is far better to decline the so
cial advances of persons whom you
do not know, than to receive them
and afterwards have cause to blush
because of your acquaintance with
them. Particularly should this ho
the case as regards young men. A
young man—good looking, gallant,
pleasant, intelligent—conies into the
neighborhood. He makes himself
agreeable to the girls, and in a fort
night, or month’s time,Alley accept
him as escort to ball, party, “night
meetings,” singing schools, lectures,
etc., and this without having uny
absolute knowledge of who, and
wimt, he is. lie has been introduced
as Mr. So-and-so, with Jwhich vague
passport lie makes ins way into gen
eral society and into the sanctity of
private houses. I remember a story
which hears on this subject. A
young village girl became engaged liv
a young man with whose antece
dents she was absolutely unacquain
ted. They were constantly together r
and his love for her seemed genuine.
Suddenly lie left the village without
paying his debts, and un examina
tion of the contents ot the trunks left
behind him aronsod suspicions of a
grave character. Tlie young man
was arrested and brought buck to tho
village, when it was ascertained that
lie was an untrustworthy character,
and that his letter of introduction
was a forged one. The girls parents
believing that nothiqg more serious
than u “flirtation” and perhaps sin
cere love making had transpired In-
tween Kim amt * thete daughter, ex*
pressed themselves as bi-inn gl»d
“that it was no worse,” ) nmp i lie,
then, their horror when she confess
ed that she had been privutcljr mar
ried to the udventurer! Their au
ger equaled the anguish uf their
daughter, whu,(|ied, eoon alter of a
broken heart. The adventurer was
sentenced to tlie .State Prison for five
years; but lie evinced no remorse, for
the crime lie committed, end sneer-
ingly laughed ut “I bo case with which
girls are won.” This in a true story,
and its moral is easily read.
Your Own Inclination.
In choosing an occupation for life,
follow your own inclination, if pos
sible. If a boy is intent on being a
preacher, u lawyer, u doctor or a
merchant, it is useless to attempt to
make u farmer of him. Lot him go.
The instinctsol his nature teach him
his position in life. A close view of
tho world, however, will soon con-
vince any one that may 'have mista
ken their culling. No matter for
thut. Tlie man who Inis failed iu
Ilia first t love would not. have been
happy had lie b en thwarted
by others early in his choice.
To him labor would have been »
burden and lifea servitude. Consult
tenderly with the promising boy—
pet before him, hut not in too Highly
colored pictures, the nil vantages and
objections to the various vocations
of life; then let hint carefully select
his choice. But impress upon him
the importance of living honestly,
industriously, but to aim higher,
with u determination to rise above all
competitors in the quality of his work,
and in the integrity, rectitude and
virtue of his life. Having done so
much, leave the rest to him.
