WEDNESDAY JUNE l b 1878.
LJ>, I> OF -V FEI D,
OR
Wliat was Accotiiiilislu'd by
Coolness and Brsxvrry.
In a certain quarter of Kentucky,
noted for family feuds, there lived,
some years ago, a young man named
| Martin Hazen. The Huzens had
, been through many years at enmity
i with a family named Morgan, by tt
i member of which Martin’s own
father had been killed in a desper
ate encounter, while he was yet a
j child. Martin was now the only
male member of the family left, and
he had grown up to manhood on
the old homestead, under the care
ful guardianship and teaching of his
widowed mother.
She had not taught him the lesson
jof hatred. She had told him of his
impetuous father’s death—that she
: hoped to see no more tragedies—and
, admonished him, although ho might
\ never like the Morgans, to cherish
i no thought of revenge.
; The Morgans were four in number
—Henry, a desperate and revenge-,
ful man, by whose hand old Mr.
Hazen had fallen; his two sons,
' /times and Ephraim, much like him;
; and his daughter Esther, who was
! not like him, but who, with a lovely
i ftico, possessed the sweet and gentle
! nature of her mother, whom sorrow
' had years before hurried to the
i grave.
The two families lived in the same
| community. Martin and Esther
frequently met, i:t tlio village, at
| church and at social parties, and
j notwithstanding the feud that had
east a shadow on both homes, they
! loved each other; and to the un
bounded rage of Henry Morgan,and
| his eons, who hated Martin for his
| fathor's sake, they deliberately went
! and got married.
E ither and Martin well knew that
she mast not daro to visit her old
homo again after lhat; so she went
with him to the house of the Hazens,
and they did not see any of the Mor
gan's for months.
But Martin was warned that ho
was in danger, and he knew the
Morgans too well to doubt it. While
jho desired to live in peace with
them, he determined not to fall as
his father had fallen, if lie could
help it. Like most people in that
section, ami at that time, he went
armed when away from home, and
besides being one of that class of
persons scarcely susceptible of fear
he was one of the best shots with a
rifle or pistol in that community.
One evening in autumn, just at
dusk, a few months after tlio mar
riage ho was riding homo from the
village on a spirited horse, when the
Morgans suddenly came into his
mind. He thought over the strange
history of the two families, and be
gan talking to himself as ho rode
leisurely along :
‘How unfortunate—how foolish it
is,’ he mused, ‘that this enmity
should exist through whole genera
tions, merly because remote ances
tors quarrelled over a lino of fence,
or the ownership of a truant pig 1
They hate me; I do not fear them,
yet /‘d like to be reconciled. I think
I shall see them and talk it over. I
believe I could reason them into
fairness. How to approach them,
though.’
He was then riding by a little
grove of timber, from which three
mcD sprang into the road. One
grasped his bridle rein, while two
stood with rifles levelled upon him.
It was not yet so dark but that he
recognized his assailants. They
were the Morgans. It was Ephraim
who held his bridle rein, while his
father and James menaced him with
their rifles.
' Oh, Hazen !’ said the old man, ;
with an air of triumph, ‘we’ve got j
you 1 You won't seo the sun rise j
to-morrow, you independent young :
dog 1 You‘ll be with your father he- !
fore (hat. What's more, you’ll staal!
no more daughters of mine. Stop
that 1 Don’t oiler to reach for that j
shooter!’ he said, as Martin’s hand j
moved toward his breast pocket. ‘At
best, you’ve but a minute to live, j
while I tell you / am going to shoot j
yon, and how glad I am to wipe out ;
the last Hazen; but none of your
tricks, or you won't live a second!'^

die with the calmness of tho tall I
the roadside—that looked J
in tho gathering darkness like grim i
spectres frowning upon the terrible j
scene—felt that it was no time now I
to reason with his enemies, and he j
dismissed the thought. Ho waited ■
motionless, for Henry Morgan to I
speak again, for he khew that the
revengeful man would love to gloat
over him before destroying him, and
that his sons would wait his com
mand. Henry J/organ, with rifle
still levelled, went on :
‘Y’es, young Hazen, tho last of
your race.’
Quick as a flash, Martin snatched
his reveler from his pocket, and
dropping his face upon his horse’s
mane, to confuse the aim of Henry
and James Morgan, he fired at
Ephraim, who fell to tho eaith; and
tho horse, startled by the crack of
the revolver at his ear, dashed away
at full speed.
Almost simultaneously’, Henry
.1/organ fired at Martin's head, miss
ing him; and a moment James,
much confused by the sudden turn
of affairs, fired almost at random,
and the. bullet pierced Martin’s left
thigh. He had not gone far before
i lie discoveied that the shot had bro
! ken the bone, and he began to suffer
| such excruciating pain that only tho
1 danger which he know was still bo
! hind him and his realization of how
! important it was to reach home pre
j vented him from reeling from his
j saddle in a swoon,
j lie succeeded in reaching home,
to be met at tho gate by bis mother,
! who told him that during iiis ab-
I
i seuee Esther bail been forcibly car-
I riotl away by her father and brothers.
Martin fell, rather than disc milted
from his horse, dragged himself into
| the lawn, and with tho words, ‘Ttic
i Morgans have shot me !’ fell faulting
upon the grass,
| J/ih. llazen hurried to a neigh
! hor's house for assistance. A sur
i geon was summoned. Martin was
carried in and laid upon a bed. lie
i revived, and his ound attended to,
| with appliances of splints and ban-
I dagos; ami the good doctor finally
! left him that night in great pain,
with tlio consoling remark that lie
would keep his bed fur a good three
months, at least.
For many days several armed
friends of Martin Hazen remained
constantly at the house, to defend
him from a possible attack of the
Morgans. 11c began to recover
from his wound, but his anxiety for
Esther tormented him day and
night. Ho feared they might mur
der her; but his friends assured him
that they would not dare do that;
that she was probably merely kept
at her old homo under strict, sur
veilance. and that in due time she
should bo rescued by some process
or other, h was ascertained, mean
time, that Ephraim Morgan was not
killed by the bullet from Martin’s
revolver on the night of the attempt
ed assassination; that tho missile
had only plowed its way’through (lie
scalp of his cranium, producing a
shock that had merely stunned him
for half an hour. Finally when Mar
tin was able to get out of bed and
sit in a chair for a few minutes at a
time, the Morgans not having made
their appearance, the friendly neigh
bors left, and Martin was alone with
Mrs. Hazen.
It was the very next night after
tho vigil ceased that the door sud
denly flow open and she burst into
tho room occupied by Esther. It
was a room on tho ground floor,
properly a sitting room, but a bed
had be< u placed in it temporarily
for the wounded young man.
‘Esther!’ Martin exclaimed joy
fully.
She ran to his bedside, kissed him
and then said, excitedly:
‘Oh, Martin, they are preparing
to come to-night to kill you ! I over
heard their plans, and I escaped by
jumping from the window of a room
they had locked me in. They don’t
know it.’
‘Let us hasten for aid !’ said Mrs.
Hazen, who came in from an ad
joining room at that moment.
It is too late 1 They may be here
in a few minutes. We must carry
Martin out of the house. Oh
Heavens I’ she exclaimed, trembling
from head to foot; ‘I hear their
horses’ hoofs now; they are not a
hundred yards away.’
‘Be calm,’ said Martin, 'I will tell
you what to do, and do it quickly.
Mother, you aud Esther help me,
and I will get out and lie under tho
lied. Then arrange the pillow un
der the covers so they may think I
tun lying in the bed, then both of
von get into the next. room. They
will probably rush in and fire, and I j
will crawl out with my revolver, j
Here it is. Then they, with their ]
empty rifles, will be at my mercy. 1
Now leavo the candle burning on
the mantle. When 1 rap threo times
on the wall, conic in.’
These instructions vvete obeyed,
and as tho two women withdrew
Esther said:
‘You won’t kill them if you can
help it?’
‘No; I promise you that. Quick,
now, I hear them 1‘
The women withdrew and had
just closed the door behind them,
when the front door flew open and
the Morgans rushed in.
‘Ha! ha!' exclaimed the old man.
‘Give him no chance this time.’
Instantly the report of three rifles
rang out, and the bullets perforated
tlio bedclothes and tho pillows, ami
the Morgans rushed to tho bodsido
to sec if their victim was dead, while
hits of plastering, loosened by the
concussion, rained down from tho
ceiling.
Martin, although it caused him
considerable pain, noiselessly drag
ged himself out at the foot of tho
bed, which stood in a corner of the
room, and placing himself in a low
chair near the door, aud just as he
had attained this favorable situation
tho Morgans discovered tho trick
that had been played upon them,
and found themselves confronted
with a large revolver in tho hands of
a very cool and brave man.
‘Henry Morgan,’ said Martin,
‘you and your sons urn at, my mer
cy. Don’t move. You know how I
handle this revolver. Movo but a
hair's breadth, any one of you, aud
I tire to kill.’
They stood transfixed. They
wore not cowards, but they did not
possess tho cool moral courage of
Martin, and tho surprise to which
they had been treated completely
unmanned them. To complete their
confusion, Mart in gave tlio signal,
and Mrs. Hazen aud Esther came
in.
‘Why, girl,' exclaimed Henry Mor
gan' ‘how in the—’
‘Not a word, 1 interrupted Martin,
sternly’. ‘I will do the talking now.
There are chairs near you; sit down.
Do you hoar?" and he pointed the
revolver at each one in turn, with
such rapidity that ho seemed to
cover all at once.
‘Mr. Morgan,' Martin proceeded,
‘/ have all your lives in my hand.
Our families have been at enmity for
generations—God knows for what.
Vou certainly have no reason to
hate mo. I have never harmed you.
I have only offended you by marry
ing Esther. This should rather
have made us good friends. You
killed my father, aud have twice
tried to murder mo. Now / have
you iri my power, but I am not going
to kill you. lam willing to forget
and forgive the past. Although
| you aro a revengeful man, Henry
j Morgan, I believe yon have a gen
ii irous nature. Now, attend: If after
this you try to harm me, I will not
spare you; but if you will bo recon
ciled, take my hand and say so, I
will trust you, for I know that you
and your sons are men who will not
lie. Will you do it, or will you de
part with the same old hatred in
your hearts?’
Henry Morgan had been sitting
with downcast eyes, his empty rifle
poised upon one knee. He had
trembled at first, apparently with
suppressed rage; but now his better
nature seemed t) possess him, and
after a moment of thoughtful silence
ho arose, left his rifle standing,
against tho wall, walked across tho
room, took Martin by the hand, and
said:
‘Hazen, you make mo ashamed
of myself. There’s my hand. Let’s
forget and forgive all round. Here
after you are my friend aud sou-in- j
law. ‘
The younger Morgans, catching |
the same true spirit, shook hands j
with Martin and between tho brave
youth and these rough men there j
was a reconciliation thatwas earnest j
and abiding. They had tried to [
murder him; now they would have j
killed a dozen men to defend him. j
Martin tossed his revolver on the |
bed for he knew he could safely do
so. Rough men as tlia Morgans
had been all tbeir lives, there was
truth in them—Martin knew it. And
the feud between tho Morgans an 1
the //azens was at an end forever and
ever !*
A Touching Story.
COLT SAM A\ - n WHY UK RKFOMKD —A
PROMISE TO A nVIXCI MOTHER.
He had been missing from tho
‘Potomac’ for several days, and j
Cleveland Tom, Port Huron Bill, j
Tail Chicago, and tho rest of tho
boys, who wore wont to get drunk j
with him, couldn’t make out what |
had happened. They hadn't heard j
that there was a warrant out for j
him, had never known of his being
sick for a day, and his absence from '
tho old haunts puzzled them. They !
were in the Hole-in tho-Wall saloon ;
tlio other morning, nearly a dozen
of thorn, drinking, smoking, aud
playing cards, when in walked Ugly
Sam.
There was a deep silence for a few
moments as they looked at him
Sam had anew hat, had been shaved
clean, had on a clean collar and a
white shirt, and they didn't know
him at first. When they saw that
it was Ugly Sum they uttered a
shout and leaped up.
‘Cave iu that hat 1’ cried one.
‘Yank that collar off!’ shouted an
other.
‘Lot's roll him on the floor 1’
screamed a third.
There was something in his look
and bearing which made them hesi
tate. The whisltey-red had almost
faded from his faco, and ho looked
sober and dignified. His features
expressed disgust and contempt as
he looked around tho room, and
then revealed pity as his eyes fell
upon tho red eyes and bloated faces
of the crowd before him.
‘Why, what ails ye Sam ?’ inquired
Tall Chicago, as they all stood there.
‘fve come down to bid you good
bye, boys !’ be replied, removing bis
hat and drawing a clean handker
chief from liis pocket.
‘What! Hev ye turned preacher?'
they shouted in chorus.
‘Boy’s, yo know I can lick any two
of ye, but I liain't on tho fight any
more, and I‘vo put down the last
drop of whiskey which is ever to go
into my mouth ! I‘ve switched off.
I've taken an oath. I'm going to bo
docent 1‘
‘Sam, bo you crazy ?’ asked Port
Huron /fill, coining nearer to him.
*l‘ve eonio down here to tell yo all
about it,,‘ answered Sam. ‘Move
the chairs back a littlo and give me
room. Ye all know I‘ve been rough,
and more to ). I‘vo boon a drinker,
a fighter, a gambler, and a loafer. 1
can't look back and remember when
Pve earned an honest dollar. Tho
police hez chased me around like a
wolf and I*vc been in jail and the
workhouse, and the papers lias said
that Ugly Sun was the terror of the
Potomac. Y’o all know this, boys,
but yo didn't know I had an old
mother.’
The faces of tlio crowd expressed
amazement.
‘I never mentioned it to any of ye,
for I was neglecting her, 1 he went
on. ‘She was a poor old woman, liv
ing up here in tho alley, and if the
neighbors hadn't helped her to fuel
and food, she'd have been found
dead long ago. / never helped her
to a cent— didn't see her for weeks
and weeks, and I used to feel mean
about it. When a fellow goes back
on liis old mother lie's a-gittin‘
party low, and I know it. Well,
she's dead—buried yesterday! I
was up there afore sho died. She
sent for me by Pete, and when I got
there I seen it was all day with her.'
‘Did she say anything?’ asked one
of the boys, as Sain hesitated.
‘That's what ails me now,' ho went
on. ‘When I went in sho reached
out her hand to mo, and, says she:
‘Samuel, I‘m going to die, and I
knotv'd you'd want to see me afore I
passed away! 1 I sat down, feeling
queer-like. She didn't go and say
as how 1 was a loafer, and had neg
lected her, and all that, but says
sho: ‘Samuel, you'll be all alone
i when I‘in gone. I‘vo tried to be a
good mother to you, arid have
prayed for you hundreds o'nights,
and cried about you until my old
hearts was sore!‘ Some of the
neighbors had dropped in, and tho j
women were crying, and I toll you I
felt weak 1*
He paused for a moment, and then
continued:
‘And tho old woman said she'd
like to kiss me afore death came,
and that broke me right down. She
kept hold of my band, and by-and
TERMS, $2.00 a tear In Adraa**.-
bye she whispered: ‘Samuel, you
aro throwing your life away. You've
got it in you to be a tnati, if you‘ll
only make up your mind. I liato to
die and feel that my only son and
the last ot our family may go to the
gallows. If I had ycmr promise
that you'd turn ore,- anew leaf, and
try and bo good, it seems as if I‘d
die easier. Won't you promiso me,
my son?" And I promised her, boys,
and that's wlnit ails mo. Sho died
holding my hand, and I promised to
quit tho low business, and to go to
work. I came clown to tell ye, and
now, yo won't see me on the Potomac
again. I‘ve bought an ax, and am
going up in Canada to winter.*
There was a dead silence for a
moment, and then he said:
Well, boys, I’ll shako bauds with
yo all around afore I go. Good
bv, Pete—good-by Jack—Toni—
ijim. I hope ye won't fling any
bricks at jne, and I shan't never
fling at any of ye. It‘s a dying
promise, ye see, and I‘ll keep it if it
takes a right arm 1‘
The men looked reflectively at
each other after lie had passed out,
and it was a long time before any
spoke. Then /all Chicago flung liis
clay pipe into a corner, and said:
‘l'll lick the man who says Ugly
Sam's head isn't level I'
‘So‘ll 11‘ repeated the others.—

A young man in California tried
to punch a rabbit out of a hollow
log with a gun the other day. The
rabbit cunio out and so did the gun;
somo of it. And that young man
will never make Lys sistors mad bv
blowing his nose with bis fingers
any more, because lie lias no thumb
to catch hold of his nose with, and
if he had, ho has no nose to catch
hold of.
A polite description of a lazy man
is thus given: ‘He is too lazy to earn
a meal, and too mean to enjoy one.
Ho was neveV generous but once,
and that was when he gave tho itch
to an apprentice boy. So much for
his goodness of heart. Of his in
dustry the public may better judge,
when we state that the only day he
has worked was the day he mistook
castor oil for honey.’
Beauty.— The fairest faco in the
world, is the one which beams with
loving kindness. The most beautiful
eyes are those which aro bright with
joyous love. The sweetest mouth is
one that says civil things pleasantly.
The prettiest hands, are those which
arc constantly engaged in perform
ing deeds of charity, and love. The
clearest littlo feet in the world, are
those that walk in paths of modest
rectitude.
It is not always the best binding
that covers the best book, no more
than is tho handsomest woman al
ways the best or sweetest in dispo
sition.
The soul or tho thought of man
lives as well in tho future life as in
this, as the one who lived in the
country yesterday lives in the great
city to-day.
The habit of always being em
ployed is a great safeguard through
life, as well as essential to the cul
ture of every virtue.
