We live in a Irce country ; a man has a
right to do as he pleases. You tiro mis
taken ; a man lias no right to do any
thing that is morally wrong ; nnd we
know that it is wrong to corrupt the
morals of the youth of our country, when
the whole thing lias ttbon to fall on their
sheulders. We should look to these
things, and remove all temptations pos
sible out of the wuy, and throw all the
safeguards known to human wisdom
arnand their, that we may expect a
high rr degree of moral culture than we
now have.
But ir, regard to tho constitutional
right. Tr. ■ lirst great principle nod in
tent of all laws and organized govern
ment is to protect the persons and prop
erty of the wens against the strong. VV I o
needs protection more than the helpless
women and children ? Agnin, the law
authorizes any pi.hlic nuisance to he put
down. Now if this is not a ruinous
nuisance, I ki .w not what it would take
to ninkc one.
Any man that has sense enough to
make his living by selling or making
whisky, lins sense enough to engago in
something that will benefit rather injure
tho people, and still make a living ; and
then how much better he would feel to
think the people were benefited by his
living among them, rather than injured
and distressed while here on this earth,
and eternnlly damned in the world to
come. lam in favor of promoting all
ihe good that we can, and putting down
all evil that we can, on the principles ol
justice end mercy. Equity.

A BAU STOItV.
Shannon is a quiet little village in
Pennsylvania. Thteo years ago among
its inhabit ants were the families ol
William llammersly and Peter Klein,
both much respected. llammersly’s
family consisted of his wife and two
children. Klein had a wife and three
children, the youngest being a baby girl
eight months old. The two families were
on terms of intimacy. Klein kept a (tnal|
shoe store, ami llammersly was a lawyer.
One morning Hati mcrsly and Mrs. Klein
eloped, taking Mrs. Klein’s youngest
child. llammersly had collected all the
money I.e could and had raised several
hundred dollars more by mortgaging his
home. Mrs. llammersly was completely
prostrated by the blow nnd fpr u time her
lilo was despaired of. She finally re
covered and secured employment by
which to support herself and hcrchildren.
The strain was too much and she again
sank. When she recotered she was
entirely destitute and her health was
gone. Having no friends she and her
children were removed to the Allegheny
Infirmary at Pittsburg, where she yet
rjmaiits. During these years Klein has
sought everywhere for his wife in order to
recover his babe to which he was pas
sionately devoted. In his search he has
spent nearly all his money, and has
traveled thousands of miles. He had
about given up the search when fate
threw the couple in his way. About
August Ist a letter addressed to Mrs.
Hummersly was received at Shannon, it
was forwarded to her at the Allegheny
Infirmary. The letter was from Hatn
tucrsly, and in it he begged his wife to
forgive him, and asked her to again live
with him. IlcappointeJ ar. out of the way
place in Pennsylvania for their meeting,
which was fixed lor August 16th. An
attendant at! the Infirmary, who was
cognizant of the woman's history, came
into possession of the letter, ot its con
tents, and at once informed Klein. '1 be
letter was postmarked at Anderson, West
Virginia, and was signed ‘A. W. Yates.’
Klein at onee started for the town. At
this place ho invoked the aid of the
mayor, to whom he told hi- story. The
two then crossed the' river and sought
“Yates.” He was found in the employ
of the Anderson Fire Btiek C mi
Without discovering him sell Klein ■
the man and identified him as lliu:-
nicrsly. lie then went to the house in
which b.is former wife resided with ilam
tuersly. His appearance at the door
caused the woman to faint. She quickly
recovered and sprang into Kfein's arms,
clinging convulsively to him. Ile in vain
for some time endeavored to loosen her
hold. She seemed frantic with joy,
evidently thinking Klein had come to
take her away. When at hist site was
made to understand that lie east her off
and had only cornu for the child her griel
was teriiblc. She raved and pleaded,
lut without avail. Finally Klein seized
the child, despite the woman's cries and
efforts, and carried it off. She appeared
dnzad lor some time, hut at la.-t picked
up Iter three months-old baby and walked
hurriedly to the lactory. where ‘'Yates”
was employed. On bearing her story, he
turned pale and hastily quitted the office,
returning with her to the house. What
passed between them is unknown, hut he
left alone on an evening train, carrying a
small bundle. That night the woman
and her babe disappeared. The matter
created some excitement, but died out in
a day or two. Several days later the
bodies of a woman and baby were found
in the woods tear Fairview, VV. Va. Not
being identified they were buried. A
rumor of the circumstances reached
Anderson, and it was concluded that the
bodies must be those of Mrs. Klein and
her babe. The bodies wore exhumed and
identified. It is supposed that the woman
attempted to walk to Shannon and either
gave out and died from exposure or com
mitted suicide.

A gentleman rode up to n small hoy

“Yes, I kin; l was in the house jist five
minutes ago, and the old clock was pint

have?” “Oh, we have all kinds. ” “But
I mean do you have standard lime or solar

rapidly, and the boy kicked another plank
off the fence.

“Good many that. Threo is a good
ordinary day’s work, but then the morgue
doesn’t get all.”
“It doesn't? Where do they go?”
“Now, understand, I don't know any
thing about it official y. I don't mind
telling you privately that 1 have heard
that some of these river pirates devote
part of the day to finding things. They
have oyster tongs and they have dredges
and hooks wit It which they stir up the
bottom. Sometimes they bring up the
bodies of people recently drowned. If a
body is thin and lean it is worth $lO at
some se sons of the year. Do you sup
pose they are going to throw away $10?
Some of the bodies wash away and out to
sea for all I know. I should say that
about 1,000 people are drowned in the
two rivers hereabouts every year, and not
ball of them are recovered.”
“How does it happen that so many
people as that get into the watci?”
‘’Whisky helps the most ol them in.
A drunken man gravitates toward the
water. Paradox that, but it’s true. Tho
tide is running out now. Herritgurgie.
When a steamer passes the waves splash
up against the piles in a way that makes
music to a man whose head is in a whirl.
•Strangers in the streets get very lonesome
in the crowds, and so they come down
here on the piers. The water is company
for them. They sit down and look over
at it. The sight of the moving water
increases the whirling in their brains,
ana they pitch forward and disappear.
None notices them. Possibly the cool
air sobers sc me of them, especially at
eight. They grow repentant and then
a- condeot. These turn around and slip
down feet first with their hands on the
ttnber and their faces turned up to the
-ky. Then their fingers loosen, and the
last seen of them is the white face in the
■*atcr. Such people arc usually the ones
pirates are looking lor, especially the
girl They arc thin aud lean from
starvation and worse.
* Some go over by accident when sober,
i saw a fellow silt ing on a pier fishing
one evening lie was asleep. All at
ot.ee his he and roiled over, he lost his
balance, and wn he went. He could
swim, but Other* are not always as lucky.
Children at play and men at their work
stumble and drop over. Urunki n sailors
reel over. There t-> a shout and a rush
that ends at the ski • of the pier. People
don’t like to wet tin ir clothes. The poor
fellow struggles a Lie and then three
weeks later he is soon a’ the morgue.
Piers should be provided with t>ike poles
and life preservers and men to handle
them, it least they should if these h.-
are worth saving.
”1 have heard, incidentally, you know,
not officially, that men ccme down on the
piers at t ight in groups. \\ hen they go
back they are less in number by one.
That one was probably and. link. When lie
is found P ere wili be possibly a penny or
two in his pockets. It looks more like a
suicide to leave something iu the pockets.
The clothing on the man will indicate
that he has seen better days. Sometimes
river pirates disagree ovet the disposition
or the division of the boodle. I heard
once, unofficially, you know, of a pirate
who sat in the stern sheets of his boat
beside a companion who was suddenly
plunged head first backward into the
water with the small of his back on the
gunwale of the boat. The pirate sat on
his stomach holding the fellow's head
under the water till the struggles ceased
and the body became limp. Then it slid
over and out of sight. A sin, pie abrasion
on the back would not indicate anyth ug
when the body was found three week
later. The tide could, nnd usually does,
throw bodies against the piers to as to
tear the skin.
“It is easy enough to account for the
number that get in, but to tell wfe-re they
came from and how they happened to get
into a condition that would bring them
down here, that is another thing. ’
