A LITERARY CURIOSITY.
The following remarkable little poem is
a contribution to the San Francisco Times,
ft-otn the pen of Mrs. H. A. Dcming. The
reader will notice that each line is a quota
tion from some of the standard authors of
England and America. This is the result
of a year's laborious search among the vol
uminous writings of thirty-eight lending
poets of the past and present. The number
of each line refers to Its author below;
LIFE.
1— Why all this toil for triumphs of an
hour?
2 Life’s a sliort summer, man n flower;
B—By turns we catch the vital breath and
die;
4 The cradle and the tomb, alas, so nigh!
5 To be is lietter far than not to be,
6 Though nil man's life may seem a tra

7 But light cares speak when mighty l
griefs arc dumb,
8— The bottoin is but shallow whence they
come.
9 Your fate is but the common fate of all;
10— Unmingled joys here, to man befall.
11— Nature to each allots his proper sphere,
12— Fortune makes folly her peculiar care;

14_And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool.
15— Live well, how long or short permit, to

17— Sin may be clasped so close we cannot

SHERIDAN’S LAST RIDE.
Hurrah for vulinnt Sheridan,
The mighty man of war!
He smote the Indian (while he slept),(by his
hearth)
He smote papoose and squaw.
Nor old nor young, nor weak nor strong,
Escape his anger may,
When, Jehu-like, ns people tell.
He rideth to the fray.
Wlienrc' er lie lifts his daring arm
Ho “strikes to hurt,” be sure:
And dauntless))- lie does to death
The “ helpless ’’ and the poor.
Spur swift along the track of blood ;
Alone thou shnit not ride;
Red-handed murder, swift as thou.
Doth gallop by thy side,
And close behind a troop of ghosts
Follow with a whoop and yell,—
Hide on, ride on,bold Sheridan:
They'll follow thee to hell!
PROFANE WORDS.
As polished steel receives a stain
From drops at random flung,
So does the child, when words profane
Drop from a parent’s tongue.
The rust eats in, and oft we find
That naught which we can do,
To cleanse the inetal or the mind.
The brightness will renew.

INCIDENT IN ARKANSAS
LIFE.
BV JUDOS AIUUNOTON.
1 shall never forget my first visit of
William Denton. It was in the Court
house at Little Hock, Arkansas, in
the summer of 1834. The occasion
itself possessed a terrible interest well
calculated to fix iu the memory ail
its circumstances. A vast concourse
of spectators had assembled to wit-,
ness the trial of a young and very
beautiful girl on an indictment for
murder. The Judge waited at the
moment for the sheriff to bring in his
prisoner, and the eyes of the impa
tient multitude eagerly watched the
door for the expected advent, when
suddenly a stranger entered, whose
remarkable appearance riveted uni
versal attention. Here is his portrait
done ns accurately as pen can sketch
it.
A figure, tall, lean and sinewy, and
straight as nn arrow ; a brow massive,
soaring, and smooth ns polished mar
ble, intersected by a lnrge blue vein
forked like the tongue of a serpent;
eyes reddish yellow, resembling a
wrathful eagle’s eye—as brilliant, as
fearfully piercing; and finally, a
month, slight, cold and sneering—the
living embodiment of unbreathed
c-itrscs! He was habited in leather,
ornamented, after the foshiou of In
dian costume, with beads of every
color of the rainliow.
Elbowing his way proudly and
slowly through the throng, and seem
ingly altogether unconscious that lie
was regarded ns a phenomenon that
needed explanation, the singular be
ing advanced, and with the haughty air
of a king taking his throne, seated
himself within the bar, crowded as it
tvns with the disciples of Coke and
Blackstone, several of whom, it was
known, esteemed themselves far su
superior to those old and famous mas
ters.
The contrast between the disdain
ful countenance and outlandish garb
of the stranger excited es|)ocinlly the
risibility of the lawyers, and the ju
nior members began a suppressed tit
ter, which soon grew louder and
swept around the circle. They doubt
less supposed the intruder to he some
wild hunter of the mountains, who
had never before seen the interior of
a hall of justice.
Instantly the cause and object of
the laughter perceived it. Turning
his head gradually, so as to give each
laugher n look of infinite scorn, lie
ejaculated the single word— 1 Sava
gfrs!’
No pen can describe the unspeaka
ble malice, the defiant force which he
threw into that terra; no language
can express the infernal/wore of his
utterance, although it hardly exceeded
a whisper. Hut lie accented every
letter as if it were a separate emission
of fire that scorched his quivering
lips, laying horribleemphnsis on the#
both at the beginning anil ending of
the word. It was a mixed growl, in
termediate betwixt the growl of a red
tiger nnd the hiss of a rattlesnake— !
‘ savages lt cured everybody of
the disposition to laugh.
The general gaze, however, was
then diverted by the advent of the
lair prisoner, who came in surrounded
by her guard. The apparition was
enough to drive even a cynic mad,
for hers was a style of beauty to be
wilder the tamest imagination nnd !
melt the coldest heart, leaving in
both imagination and heart a gleam
ing picture, enamelled with fire and
fixed in a frame of gold from the '
stars. It was the spell of nn enchant
ment to befell as well as seen. We !
might feel it in the flashes of her
countenance, clear as sunlight, bril
liant as the iris; in the classic contour
of her features, symmetrical ns if cut ]
with an artist’s chisel; in her hair of
rich ringlets, flowing without a braid,
softer than silk, finer than gossamer;
in her eyes, blue as the heavens of
Southern stmtraer, large, liquid,
dreamy; in her motions, graceful,
swimming, like the gentle waftures of
a bird’a wing in the sunny air; in Iter
figure, slight, ethereal—a sylph’s or a
seraph’s; and more titan all, in the
everlasting smile of the rosy lips, so
frank, so serene, so like starlight, and
yet thrilling the soul as a shock of
electricity.
As the unfortunate girl, so taste
fully dressed, so incomparable as to
personal charms, calmly took her
place before the bar of her judge, a
murmur of admiration arose from the
multitude, which the prompt intcr|>o
sition of the court could scarcely re- ;
press front swelling into deafening
cheers. The murmur was followed
by a loud, unearthly groan from a
solitary bosom, as of some one in
mortal anguish. All eyes were cen
tered on the stranger, and all were
struck with surprise and wonder, for
his features writhed as if in torture— |
torture that his rain of tears could
not assuage. But what could be the
cause of this sudden emotion ? Could
any connection exist between him, the '
apparent rude hunter, and that fairy
girl, more beautiful than a blossom of
summer, and in countenance celestial
as a star 9
The judge turned to the prisoner—
‘Emma Grecnleaf, the court Ims been
informed that your counsel, Colonel
Linton, is sick, and cannot attend
Have you employed any other?’
She answered in a voice sweet as
the warble of the nightingale, and
clear as the song of the skylark—‘My
enemies have bribed all the lawyers,
even my own, to be sick', but God will
defeud the innocent!’
At this response, so touching in its
simple pathos, a portion of the audi
tors buzzed applause and the rest
wept. On the instant, however, the
leather-robed stranger, whose aspect
had previously excited so much mer
riment, approached the prisoner, nnd
whispered something in her ear. She
bounded several inches from the floor,
uttered a wild shriek, nnd then stood
pale and trembling as if in the pres
ence of a ghost IVoai tit? grave. All
now could perceive that there must
be some mysterious connection be
tween the two, and the scene assumed
the profound interest of a genuine ro
mance. The stranger addressed the
court in accents ns sonorous as the
tone of an organ— ‘ May it please
your honor, I will defend the legal
rights of the lady.’
‘What!’exclaimed the astonished
judge ; are you a licensed attorney ?’
‘The question is immaterial and ir-«
revaleut,’ replied the stranger with a
sneer,‘as your statute entitles any
person to act as counsel at the request
of a party.’
‘But does the prisoner request it?’
asked the judge.
* Let her speak for herself,’ said the
stranger.
‘ I do,’ was her answer, as a long
drawn sigh escaped, that seemed to
rend her very heart-strings.
‘What is your name, as it must be
placed on the record?’ interrogated
the judge.
‘ William Denton,’ said the stran
gcr. ji
The case immediately progressed.
Wc will briefly epitomise the substance
of the evidence. About twelve months
previous the defuudant a'rived iu the
town, and opened an cstcblislftmcnt of
millinery. Residing in a small room
backofhertohop, ana all alone, she pre
pared the various articles of Iter trade
with unwearied toil, and consummate
taste. Her habits were secluded,
modest; and hence she might have
hoped to escape notoriety, but for the
perilous gilt of that extraordinary
beauty, which too often, anil to the
poor and friendless, proves a curse.
She was soon sought after by those
gay fireflies of fashion, the business
of whose life is everywhere seduction
and ruin. But the beautiful stranger
rejected them all alike with unutter
able scorn and loathing.
Among these disappointed admirers
was one of a character from w hich
the fair milliner had everything to
feat - . Hiram Shore belonged to a
family at once opulent, influential, and
dissipated. He was himself licenti
ous, brave and revengeful, and a du
elist of established and terrible fame.
It was generally known that he had
made advances to win the favor of the
lovely Emma, and shared the fate of
all her other wooers—a disdainful re
pulse.
At nine o’clock on Christmas night,
1833, the people of Little Rock were
startled by a loud scream, as of some
one in mortal terror; while following
that, with hardly an interval, came
successive reports of firearms—one,
two, three—a dozen deafening explo
sions. They flew to the millinery,
whence the sounds emanated, and
pushed back the unfastened door. A
dreadful scene was presented. There
she stood in the centre of the room,
with a revolver in eaeh hand, every
barrel discharged, her features pale,
her eyes flashing wildly, and iter lips
patted with an awful sinile! And
there at her feet, weltering in his warm
blood, his bosom literally riddled with
shot, lay the all-dreaded duellist,
Hiram Shore, gasping in the last ag
ony. He articulated but a single sen
tence—‘Tell my mother that I am
dead, and gone to h—ll!’ and instant
ly expired.
* In God’s name, who did this?’ ex
claimed the appalled spectators.
‘I did it!’ said the beautiful milli
ner, in her sweet, silvery accents. ‘I
did it to save my honor!'
Sttcli is a brief abstract of the es
sential circumstances, developed in
the examination of witnesses. The
testimony closed and the pleading
began.
First of all, Fowler, Pike, and Ash
ley (all famous lawyers at that time
in the south-west) spoke in succession
for the prosecution. They about
equally partitioned their eloquence
betwixt the prisoner and her advocate,
covering the latter with such sar
eastic wit, railing, nnd ridicule :iq,
made it a matter of doubt whether'
he or client was the party then on
trial. As to Denton, however, he
seemed to pay not the slightest atten
tion to his opponents, but remained
motionless, with his forehead bowed
on his hands, like one buried in deep
thought or in slumber.
When his time came, however, he
suddenly sprang to his feet, crossed
the bar, and took a position almost
touching the foreman of the jury; he
then commenced in a whisper, hut in
a whisper so wild, peculiar, and inde
scribably distinct as to fill the hall
from floor to galleries.
At the outset lie dealt in pure logic,
analysing and combining the proven
facts, till the whole mass of confused
evidence looked transparent as a
globe of crystal, through which the
innocence of his client shone luminous
as a sunbeam, while the jurors nodded
to each other of thorough conviction.
That thrilling whisper and concentra
ted argument, and language simple as
a child s, had satisfied the demands of
the intellect, nnd this, too, in only
twenty minutes. It was like the
work of a mathematical demonstra
tion. j.
He then changed his posture so as
to sweep the bar with his glance, and,
like a raging lion, rushed upon his
adversaries, tearing atm rending their
sophistries into atoms. His sallow
face (HoWcri like a red-hot iron, the
forked blue vein swelled t.iiil wreathed
ou his brow, his eyes resembled live
coals, and voice was the clangor of a
trumpet. I have never, before or
since, listened to such appalling de
nunciation. It was like Jove’s eagle
charging a flock of crows. It was
like Jove himself hurling thunderbolts
in the shuddering eyes of inferior
gods. And yet in the itighesttemper
of fury he seemed wonderfully calm,
lie employed no gesture save one—
the flash of a long, bony fore-fingcrili
rectly at the pallid faces of his legal
foes. lie painted their venality and
unmanly baseness in coalescing for
money to crush a friendless female,
till a shout of stifling wrath broke
from the multitude, and sonic of the
sworn panel cried ‘Shame!’ And
thus ttic orator hod carried another
point—had aroused a perfect storm
of indignation against the prosecu
tors—and this also in twenty minutes.
He changed his theme once more.—
His voice grew mournful as a funeral
dirge and his eyes filled witii tears, ah
lie traced picture of man’s cru
elties and womau’s wrougs, with spe
cial applications in the ease of his
client, till half the audience wept like
children.
But it was in the peroration that lie
readied the zenith both of terror and
sublimity. His features were livid as
those of a corpse; his very hair ap
peared to stand on end; his nerves
shook as witlna palsy; he tossed iiis
hands wildly toward heaven, eaeh fin
ger spread apart and quivering like
the flame of a candle, as lie closed the
last words of the deceased Hiram
Shore— ‘ Tell my mother that lam
dead and gone toil—11!’ II is empha
sis on the word hell embodied the
elements of nil horror. It was a wail
of immeasurable despair—a wild howl
of infinite torture. No language can
depict its etfcct on all who heard it.
Men groaned, women shrieked, and one
poor mother was borne away in con
vulsions. The entire speech occupied
but nn hour.
The jury returned a verdict of* Not
guilty,’ without leaving the.box, nnd
three tremeudous cheers, like succes
sive roars of an earthquake, shook the
court-house from dome to corner-stone,
testifying the joy of the people. At
the same moment the beautiful milli
ner bounded to her feet and clasped
the triumphant advocate iu her arms,
exclaiming—‘Oh, my husband I my
dear husband!
Denton smiled, seized her band,
whispered a word in her ear, and the
two left the bar together, proceeding
to ihc landing, and embarked on the
steamboat bound for New Orleans.
It seems that they had previously
parted on account of his causeless
jealousy, aftef which site had assumed
a false name and came to Little Rock
How lie learned her danger, I could
never ascertain.
They returned to Texas. The hus
band was a colonel in the revolution,
and escaped its perils only to fall the
next year in a terrible fight with the
Camanehes. Anew county in the
cross timbers—a County of wild woods
romantic ns his own eloquence, and
of sun bright prairie, beautiful as his
own Emma’s sweet lace, commemor
ates his name—the name of a trans
cendent star that set too soon, which
else had now been the first luminary in
the political sky of Texas, if not in
the circle of the whole Union, for lie
was nature’s Demosthenes of the West
ern woods!

The Sweetest Moment !«/ Love*
Making.
“ Perhaps there is no period,” says
Anthony Trollope, “so pleasant
among all the pleasant periods of love
makiag as that in which the intimacy
between lovers is so assured, and the
coming event so near, as to produce
and endure conversation about the
ordinary little matters of life; what
can lie done with the limited nn»«n«
at their disposal; how that life shall
be begun whfch they shall. lead to
gether; what idea eaeh has of the
other’s duties; what each can do for
the other. There was a true sense of
the delight of intimacy in the girl
who declared that she never loved ner
lover so well as when she told him
how many pairs of stockings she had
got. It is very sweet to gaze at the
stars, and it is sweet to sit out among
the haycocks. The reading of poetry
together, out of the same bock, with
brows all close, nnd arms all mingled,
is very sweet; the pouring out of
whole hearts in writing words, which
the writer knows woltld be hp(d to be
ridiculous by nny eyes or ears anq
sense but those of the dear one to
whom they are sent, is very sweet;
but for the girl u-ho has made a shirt
for the man she loves , there lias come
a moment in the last stitch of it sweeter
titan any stars, haycock, poetry, or
superlative epithets have produced.”
