Ruth Foster’s Hero.
Ruth Foster was a very pretty girl.
—She wjts a alight brown-haired beau
ty with a voice like a bird, and a pair
of blue eyes that might have melted
the heart of a stoic. There was not
an unmarried man around Logtown—

fairly worship Ruth, and consider'd
her the

The other ladies of Log town failed
to see anything iu Ruth worthy of par
ticular attention, and declared them-

Ami was not she an unsufl'eraMo eon-

ied a seat directly opposite Ruth, atk
bile investigating the mysteries o
last turkey,’niine. -j ie, sandwitches
nd pound eak”. lie took frequent oc-
his soul trith horror. From a thick
clump of bushes, not more that twenty
yards from where thev sat a large an-
mal issued, and came rapidly towards
them with crouching, shambling ' mo
tions, and giving vent meantime to
fearfnl growls.
Reginald Mortimer saw at once
that the approaching animal wasweith-
ther a grizzly or the ghost of one. As
ho did not believe in ghosU, he con
cluded that it was a bona fide grizzly;
and when Ruth threw her arms around
his neck and exdaimend, in nuiver-
ing accents, ‘Save me, Reginald! save
meH he evinced a much stronger incli
nation to save himself.
Hastily unwinding her arms he de
parted from the scene of danger at a
rate of speed that would have tasked
the capabilities.of a race-horse to^ur-«
pass, pausing not to look behind until
lie found himself unharmed in his own
room at the hotel, from which I may
as well meuliou here, he look his final
departure the next morning in the
lour o'clock stage.
Almost dead with terror, Ruth saw
herself thus deserted and knew that
the horrible inouster was approachiug-
r.earer an 1 nearer. Wildly, thrilling-
ly, her shrieks ruu out upon the still
night air.
Suddenly a manly form came dash
ing up to the rescue, brandishing
an axe, aud yelling in a way which
might easily have frightened a score
or more of grizzlies into eouvul-
There can be no doubt but that the
grizzily w as dismayed by the appear
ance oi this reinforcement, for the ef
fect produced upon him was suddenand
markable in the extreme. He seemed
at once to fall into several pieces.
The frame of a youth arose from the
ground, aud the fact was revealed that
all the commotion had been caused
by Ike Foster, Ruth's fourteeu year
old brother, who had possessed him
self of an old bear skin, belonging ta'
his father; with the bcuevolcnt design,
a*he afterwards expressed it, -of having
a little, square fun.’
Ruth, however, did not become
aware ot this circumstance until some
time afterward, on the arrival of the
person with the axe, she exclaimed;
’Saved! Oh, Bob!’ aud fell tainting
in his arms.
I suppose that many of my readers
have no doubt been anticipating some
such catastro^p as this, and have
waited patiently for a moment when,
Ruth and Bob should fall into anoth
er’s arms, become reconciled, the one
to the fact that her hero squiuled. the
other to the circumstance that he had
been completely ’run out’ by the dash
ing Reginald Mqftimer. and in a word
to forget, forgive, get married, and be
happy.
It any such supposition has been
formed it is certainly incorrect This
is not a romance, but a simple recital
of the whole truth, aud nothing but
the truth, aud therefore, however
strongly I might feel disposed lo end
it in a different manner, I must adhere
strictly to the facts.
Bob, as I exclaimed oncc| before,
when ho found himself completely

coiif'oh.d him so effectively "that* with
the inconsistency which I gtievc to
say characterizes the entire male sex

Unth, was evidently mistaken when
she supposed that she was fainting
iuto the arms ofher ownW'aithful Rob
ert.—The individual who came so luar-
Icsslv to her rescue was not Bob Sykes'
but old Marlin, the wood-chopper a
id'-ar-eyod aud uearly stipcran muted
Fell, who never entertained a passion
lor anything in his life dxeept u whis
key Dottle.
When Ruth recovered, she embra
ced him fervently, and called him ‘dear
Bob.' and v. aided a good deal of ten-
deroos on him before she discovered
her mistake; hut no affair of the heart
ever grew out of it; there was no wed-
ling- aud Ruth still exists in a state of
single blessedness.

(FhMB tbs Danbury News.
Patting np a stove is not so difficult
in itself. It is the pipe that raises
four-fifth of the mischief and all the
dust You rosy take down a stove
with all the care iu the world and you
have your wife put away the pipe in a
secure place, aud yet that pipe won't
come together as it was betorc. You
find this out wheu you are standing
on a chair with your arms full of pipe
and your mouth full of soot. Your
wiie is standing on the floor iu a po
sition that euables her to see you, the
pipe, and the chair; and here she
gives utterance lo those remarks that
are calculated to hasten a man into
the extremes of insanity. Her dress
is pined over her waist, ar.d her hands
rest on her hips. She has got one of
your hats on her head, aud your linen
coat on her back, and a pair of lub
bers ou her feet. There is about five
cents worth ol pot black ou her uose,
aud a lot ot fiour ou her chin, and al
together she was a spectacle that
would inspire a dead uiuu with dis
trust.—Aud while you are up Hying
to circumvent the aiviul contrariness
af the pipe, and telling that you know
some fool has been mixing it, she
stands safely on the floor bombards
you with such domestic mottoes as:—
“What’s the use of swearing so?’’ You
know no one has touched the pipe.''
“You ain’t got auy more patience than
a child.” “Do be careful of that
chair.” And theu she goes off, aud
reappears with an armful more of
stove pipe. And before you are
aware of it she has got that pipe so
horribly mixfcd up that it does seem
no two pieces are alike. Yau join
the ends, and work them to aud fro.
and talre them apart again and look
at them. Then you spread one out
and jam the other two together, aud
mount them once more. But it is no
go. You begin to think the pieces are
inspired with life, and ache and k*ck
them through site window. But she
doesn't lose her patience. She goes
around with that awfully exasperating
figging on, with a length of pipe un
der each- arm, and a long liaudled
broom in her hand, and says she don’t
see how some people never have any
trouble in putting up a stove. Then
you miss the lmiumer. You don’t see
It anywhere. You stare into the pipe
and along the mautlc, and down on
the stove, and off on the floor. Yoifr
wife watches you iutentiy, aud finally
is thoughtful enough to inquire what
you are looking after, aud on learning,
she pulls the article from her pocket.
Then you feel us if you could go out
aud swear a hole twelve feet square
through a block of brick buildiugs, but
she merely observes, “Why on earth
don’t you speak when you want any
thing, and not stare round like a dum
my.” Wheu that part of the pipe
goes through the wall is up, she keeps
it up with her broom while you are
making the connection, and stares at
it with an intensity that is entirely un
called for. All the while your position
is becoming more a«ul interesting.—
The pipe don’t go together, of course.
The soot shakes down into your eyes
and mouth, the sweat rolls down your
face and tickles your chin as it drops
off, and it seems as if your arms are
slowly bu» shortly drawing out of
their sockets. Ilete your wife coiues
to the rescue by inquiring if you are
going to be all day doing nothing, and
if you think her arms sire made of
cast iron; and then the broom slips oil'
the pipe, and in her endeavor to re
cover her hold she jobs you under the
ehiu with the handle, and the pipe
come down ou her head with its-io.it*
of fried soot, and then the chair tilt
Jeff Davis? Alleged Disguise.
2b the Editors of tke Chicago Tribune;
Sib.—In a Chicago paper of June 6
there appeared an article headed
“Ten Thousand a Year Adversity,”
which was false in every statement it
made. It is high time the people
should know the truth in regard to
the capture of Jeff. Davis. I have ob
tained the following truthful relation
ol the capture from one of the partici
pants in it, and submit it to the ac
ceptance of the Tribune’s niauy read
ers, believing that it is, right to be .hist
though the heaveus fall. X.
{From the Portland (Me) Argo*.
I am no admirer of Jeff. Davis. I
am a Yankee, born between Sacca-
rnppa and Gorham Corner, am full of
Yankee prejudices; but 1 thiuk it
wicked to lie even about him, or, for
the matter about the devil.
T was with the party that captured
Jell*. Davis; saw the whole transaction
from its beginning. 1 now say aud—
hope you will publUh it—that Jeff.
Davis did uot have on, at the time he
was taken, any garment such as is
worn by women. He did have over
his shoulders a water proof article ot
clothing—something like a “Have
lock.” It was not in the least con
cealed. ne wore a hat, and did uot
carry a pail of water ou his head, uor
carry pail, bucket, or kettle in any
way.
To the best of my ncgllection he
carried nothing whatever in his hands.
His wife did uot tell any person that
her husband might hurt somebody if
he got exasperated. She behaved like
a lady, and he as a gentleman, though
manifestly he was chagrined at being
taken into custody. Our soldiers be
haved like gentlemen, as they were,
and our officers like honor ihtc, brave
men; and the foolish stories that went
the newspaper rounds of the day, tell
ing how woftishly he deported himself,
were all false. I know what I am
writiug about. I saw Jefferson Davis
several times while he was staying in
Portland tnauy years ago; and I think
I was the first one who recognized
him at the time of his arrest.
When it was known that he was
certaiuly taken, some newspaner cor
respondent—I knew his name at the
time—fabricated the story about the
disguise in a woman’s dress. I heard
the whole matter talked over as a
good joke; and the officers, who knew
better, never took the trouble to deny
it Perhaps they thought tho Con
federate Prcsulcut deserved all the
contempt they could put upon him. I
think so loo, ouly I would never per
petrate a falsehood that by any menus
would become history. Aud, further
I would never slander a woman who
has shown so much devotion as Mrs.
Davis has to her husbaud, no matter
how wicked he is or may have been.
I defy any person to" find a siugle
officer or soldier who was present ut
the capture of Jeff. Davis, who will
say, upon honor, that he was disguis
ed in woman's clothes, or that his wife
acted in any way unlady like or un
dignified on that occasion. I go for
trying him lor his crimes, and if found
guilty, puuishing hiiu. But 1 would
not lie about bun when the truth will
certainly make it had enough.

Boy’* Love for Mother.
Some one has written beautifully to
boys in the following manner. Here
the whole sermon in a few sen
tences;
•Of all the love affairs iu the whole
world, none can surpass the true love
of a big boy for his mother. It is pure
and noble.honorable in the highest de
gree to both, l do not mean a mere du
tiful affection. I mean a love which
makes a boy gallant aud courteous to
his mother, saying to even body plain
ly that he is fairly in love'with her —
Nexlto love of her husband, nothing
so crowns a woman’s lilc with honor
as this second love, this devotion of a
son lo her. -1 nd I never know a boy
•turn out had who begau by falling in
love with his mother.’ Auy man may
fall iu love with a fresh faced girl, aud
the man who is gallant with the girl
may cruelly neglect tho worn and
weary wife. But the boy who is a
lover ot his mother in her middle age
is a tine knight, who will love his wife
as much in the sere-leaved autumn as
he did in the daisie spring-time.
Obituary of a Western Editor.
Ye editor sat in his rickety chair. a«

devil was grinning before him there,
and ••copy!’’ ye devil saved he.
Oh, ye editor grabbed his big quill
pen, and It sputted your ink so Iroe,
that his manuscript like a war man—
when “Take this, to the devil spake

lie scribbled and scratched through
the live long nor rest or refresh
ment had he; tor the devil kept con
siantly coming that way and hollow
ing for more “cop-ee.”
Day after day he scissored and
wrote, a saying the whole countree;
while ye devil kept piping a single
note, “a little more outside cop—ce.”

voice of a Mow and bla«p)icmus words,
“he is raisin’ the devil,” say they.
And oft when a man with a griev
ance came in. ye editor man to see,
he\l turn his hack with a word of s:n,
“go talk to the devil,” saved he.
And ever and oft when a “proof” of
hu* work ye proprietor wanted to see,
“ye proof “hall be showed hv mv per-

saved he.
An J thus destined through all of his

always close to ye devil was he. m

A Fateful Year.
Barelj - a third of the year has pas
sed, and the death-roll of 1873 already
glitters with brilliant names enough
io make any whole year conspicuous
in history. Since January last some
of the greatest men iu statesmanship,
literature and science of the past
half century have passed away. A
mere revival of their names will con
vince the reader that the world’s loss
in this brief time is no trivial one.
Foremost among public historic char
acters who have died iu 1*73 is Napo
leon I1L Ilis minister Peraigny, lias
also gone with him, a follower in death
as well as in life; among scientists,
Baron Liebig and Commodore Maury;
among jurists, Chief Justice Chase;
amoug actors. Macready; among wri
ters, Lord Lytton and" the Countess
Guiccioli; among soldiers, Gen. Paez.
The Amencaa list has been unusually
full. The most notable of our coun
trymen who have died, besides those
mentioned are James L. Oh, Minister
to Russia; William H. Seward, ex-
Governor John W. Geary, John
Romyn Brodhcad, the historian; Bish
op Mcllvauc’ of the Episcopal Church,
Vicar General Starrs of tne Catholic
Church, and Mrs. Harrison Gray Oti*.
Two names which were on every
body’s lips only a few months ago in
connection with the Ciedit Mobelier
investigation, belong now to the other
side of the grave—those of Oakes
Ames and Brooks. The sweep of the
