THE SUNNY SOUTH.

the world. 1 don’t believe He’d give you the
shake, parson, arter you’ve been a cappin’
fur His game so long, do you ?”
“The Lord is ever ready and willing to
hear and answer prayer, Sam, but before He
gives His blessings, He says we must ask for
them, and must ask in faith, believing that
He hears us and will answer us. My dear
friend, vou must pray yourself. Can you
not ask Him to administer to your spiritual
wants, and open his arms to receive your
soul when it is loosened from its casket? ‘Ask
and ve shall receive, seek and ye shall find ’ ”
A painful silence pervaded the room for a
few moments, as Sam lay in deep reflection.
It was evident that the words of the minister
had taken root in his heart, for a bright tear
—probably the first since his childhood—
glistened upon his cheek. Another and an
other followed in quick succession, and soon
subdued sobs could be heard bursting from
the bosoms of those who stood around the
bed. The silence was broken by “Short}-'’
Lewis, a faro dealer, who said in a voice
choked with emotion:
“Sam, old pardner, I b’lieve the parson’s a
keepin’ these cases c’rect, an’ a givin’ you a
show for every turn o’the cards; you'd bet
ter play ’em jist as he calls 'em, an’ I’ll put
up big wealth on it thet ye’ll come out o’ the
raektt with a hefty winnin’. Jist turn to an’
crack ahead with yor chinnin] to the Al
mighty, an’ ye’ll find it’s no trick at all to
call the turn on the last case.”
The tears continued to flow from the
dying gambler’s eyes, and the convulsive
heavings of his breast gave evidence of the
terrible commotion within. Then his emo
tion subsided, and he closet! his eyes and lav
as if in peaceful slumber. The minister’s lips
moved in silent prayer, and even one or two
of the assembly, who had not for years given
divine things even a passing thought, essayed
to offer up a petition in behalf of the sufferer.
After a few minutes had thus passed Sam
opened his eyes and said in a voice of almost
heavenly calmness:
“Boys, a lovely pictur’ has jist bin a-pas-
sin’ before me. I could s. e away back to
when I war a little kid, a-toddlin’ around the
house at hum, with that blessed old mother
who has bin an angel fur many year. I
could remember how she used to git me
“SEMINOLE SAM.”
An Incident of the Snake Riv-
er Mines.
A MOTHER'S PRATERS.
By Wyoming KitJ
“Won’t ye come in an’ see Sam, stranger-
This question was addressed to me, as I
slowly strolled through the Snake River Min
ing camp, in Wyoming Territory, one beau
tiful Sabbath evening in May last. The speak
er stood in the door of a rough log cabin,
near the bank of a stream. He was one of
those rough “uncut diamonds,” which can
ever be found in mining camps, whose every
expression denoted a soul teeming with gen
uine Western hospitality, and love for his
fellow-man. Dressed in buckskin from head
to foot, he presented a truly picturesque ap
pearance, smacking strongly of the romantic.
“Who is Sam ?” I asked,
“Why Seminole Sam—him as air curled up
in bed in yar, a buckin’ agin death, with fill
the keerds a runnin’ agin him strong, too.”
I had rode into camp but an hour before,
and had learned nothing of the m^ refei ed
to. In answer to a question regarding him
th “S^ cum over yar from the Seminole
range about a year ago, an squatted down m
this yar house. He’s a gambler, pard but he
does 5 his work in an honest, Chnstianlike
manner, an’ ye h’ar me a sungiu’ a level an
squar’ song w hen I tell ye tbet a whiter man
never showed up in the diggms. Sam never
took advantage o’ a greeny, or sil f n S a < ;™^.
ed keerd in his life, an’ a galoot never yit
went broke on his game a squealin foul;
but
now
call cue luj 11, i " —— —— ”, „
an’ pass in his checks afore midnight.
“Has he been ill long ?’ I asked, feeling a
strange interest in the man.
“No, pard; tain’t any natral ailin. Ye
see Sam sat down in a game wit h a poker
sharp from over on the railroad, a few days
ago, an’ during the play a little uusunder-
standin’ ariz atween ’em a.bout three aces
thet mysteriously evacuated from the pack,
an which Sam diskivei ed a locatin cm-elves
in the stranger’s sleeve. Durin’ the argymeut
Sam got an ugly dig from a knife that war
engineered bv the stranger, an now he s
stretched out in ’yar hevm a cussed hard
time, an’ its ’bout all the boy can do to corral
breath enough for actooal use. vV eve bin
advisin’ him to do a little chinnin w ith a
gospel sharp, so’s ter fix matters up so thet
when he passes in his checks the Bos sup
above 11 allow him all fur them thet the natur ’
o’ the game’ll allow. One o’ the boys has gone
out now to rustle up a preacher, an —thar he
comes now, pard; le’s go in.”
The minister was a venerable looking man,
with a kind, sincere face, which was now
overcast with an expression of genuine sym
pathy. As he entered the cabin we followed,
and never shall I forget the scene within.
Stretched ui>oii a rough pallet lay a man of
powerful frame, upon whom death had
placed its seal, the partially glazed eyes and
ghastly pale face betokening the near ap
proach of the grim monster. Grouped about
the lied, with heads bowed in reverential awe,
stood a score of persons, representing every
phase of life in a frontier settlement, from
the blue-shirted miner to the flashily dressed
gambler. The look of pain and sympathy
upon each face expressed in language plainer
than words how great a favorite Sam was
with all The minister approached the bed
and with fervent words of sympathy took
the dving man by the hand. Sam looked
into his face with an inquiring look for a mo
ment, and then said:
“1 hope you won’t put it up as cheeky,par
son fur me a puttin’ you to this trouble,
but deth has a grip on me thet I can’t shake
loose, an’ the boys thought mebbe I’d better
send for ye to kinder put in a word fur me
up above, seein’ as how I ain’t acquainted up
thar, an’ don’t feel like intrudin’ by cbippin’
inter a strange game, i’ll play ye honest talk
now, parson, an’ own up thet its a layout I
kinder never could see anything in, tbarefore
I never cottoned to it: an’ I feel thet if I’d
set in the game now I’d lose my grip on the
fust deal, an’ go clear through without win
nin’ a bet. If I’d a learned the religious
game when I fust struck out on my own
hook, I might stan’ some chance now of quit-
tin’ purty nigh even; but wouldn’t it look
kinder cheeky an’ unperfessional to throw off
on a game fur years, an’ then call for a stack
of checks an’ try ter git inter it when I hev
nothin’ to show up in the play ?”
The minister had been fory^ars an humble
laborer in this rough portion of the Lord’s
vineyard, and was thoroughly familiar with
all the slang terms so universally in vogue in
the mountains. In a kind, pleasant voice he
.Sam, I am sure it would not. This
blessed book which I hold in my hand teaches
•us that truly repentant sinners can be saved
even at the eleventh hour. The dying thief
upon the cross found peace with God while
the icy hand of death was fastened upon
t him. ’He that believeth shall be saved.’ ”
“That’s consolin’, parson, an’ I b’lieve yer
givin’ me the squar tip, an’ readin’ the heav
enly law correct I never thought I’d be
barred entirely outen the game, but felt
kinder sneakin’ about losin’ everything on
other rackets, an’ then beggin’ fur a stake to
set in this game. Parson, won’t yer stan’ in
an’ address a little string o’ pious talk up
thar, an’ explain matters the best ye kin ?
Jist tell the Almighty that I’m a total strang
er to Him, an’ don’t feel a bit level a axin’
fur a favor at this stage o’ the purceedin’s.
You’ve stood in with him fur years, parson,
an’ mebbe now if ye’d jist say to Him thet
--e’d take it as a personal favor, He mout
lave matters fixed up so’s I’d stand a little
down on my knees beside her, an’ then she’d
say over such sweet little prayers, and coax
me to say ’em arter her. Then she’d kiss me
an’ tuck me up snug in bed, an’ when she
thought I war asleep I could hear her a-cryin’
an’ prayin’ in whispers, axin’ God to keep
track o’ me, an’ give me a lift an’ h Ip me up
agin if I ever stumbled an’ fell. When Sun
day come she’d wash me up and dress me, oh!
so nice, an’ take me to Sunday school, allers
keepin’ me in the class as she beached herself,
an’ somehow it seemed t > me that every
word she spoke war aimed right at me. Then
the pictur’ moved on, an’ I seed myself as a
good chunk of a boy, up to all the pranks
an’ devilments that kids hung on to in them
days. I got to be a tough ’un, but I never
done anv real wicked rackets, an’ I’ve allers
thought"that my good old mother’s prayers
stood atween me and wrong. Then I could
see myself as a young man, gradually driftin’
outen the path o’ i igbt, an’ forgitten’ w’at I
knowed about piety. Then I tuk my fust
drink, an’ begin to slide right down hill, w:th
the devil an’ all his imps on earth a-nudgin’
me on. But boys, that old angel mother
never shook me, nor never let up on her
prayers. Oh, God! I kin see it as if it war
only yisterday, the fust time I cum hum
drunk. She pushed me down in a chair, and
clasped me to her arms as if she war afeard
she war goin’ ter lose me from her forever.
An’ then she coaxed an’ pleaded with me,
the tears j ist a-floodin down her old cheeks,
an’ her darlin’ voice a-tremblin’ so’s I knowd
her heart was jist a-breakin’ every minute.
An’ then she ’gin ter pray for me so earnest
thet it sobered me up in a minute. I prom
ised her to throw off on whisky, an’ I kep’
the promise fur a long time, but I broke my
guard agin, an’ Satan got his work in once
more. Then I fell in with gamblers and
s o ts, ran a ay from hum an’ landed in this
great wes . I aeard from hum now- an’ the i
till one day I got a letter with black edges
all around it, an’ when I opened it I found
that mother war dead, an’ that her last
words war a prayer for her lost Sam. I tell
ye, boys, it broke me all up, but instead o’
glttin’ better I went down lower’n ever, an’
have stuck to it to this day. Oh, mother!
mother! if yer listenin’ now, ax God to save
yer boy!”
Sobs burst forth from the occupants of the
room. These men were rough and hardened
but away down in the depths of their hearts
a little spring of feeling had lain hidden for
years, until now- it had been opened and bub
bled up with tender rippling—opened by one
magic word, mother. Then the minister
offered up an earnest petition to the Father
in pleading tones which would accept no re
fusal. Strangely blended with his words of
prayer came petitions from the rough men
around him, reeking with slang but clothed
in heartfelt earnestness and sincerity.
Sam lay apparently calm until the petition
ceased, and then a smile spread like a ray of
light over his wan features. Outstretching
his arms towards heaven, he murmured, “I
see her—I see her. Oh, peace, joy! mother,
I’m coming; I’m coming!” And with that
smile of happiness still illuminating his face,
he fell back upon his pillow, dead.
I viseted Snake River but a week ago, and
in the outskirts of the settlement came upon
a grave marked by a beautiful marble slab.
Upon it was engraved:
“Seminole Sam,
Who shook the wicked earth,
And landed right in his old mother’s arms in
Heaven.”
The marble engraver in Denver had strict
ly followed his written copy.
The Man in the Moon.
MOOT WORSHIP.
In addition to agricultural operations, the
moon has been supposed to exert great influ
ence on human birth, and the killing of ani
mals for the table. In Cornwall, when a
child is born in the interval between an old
moon and the first appearance of a new one,
it is said that it will never live to reach the
age of puberty. Hence the saying, “No
moon, no man.” In the same country, too,
when a boy is born in the w ane of the moon,
it is believed that the next birth will be a
girl, and vice versa; and it is also a prevalent
belief that when a birth takes place on the
“growing of the moon” the next birth will be
of the same sex. In many places eggs are
set under a hen at new moon: and in Suffolk
it is considered unlucky to kill a pig on the
waning moon, lest the pork should waste in
the bofiing—a superstition we find alluded to
in Macready’s “Reminiscences,” (vol. i. p.
475)—“Elstree, December i4, 1835.—Phillips
hoped the pig would not be killed on Wed
nesday, as the fulling of the moon was not
good for the bacon.” Dr. Tylor, too, amus
ingly remarks that the Lithuanian precept
to wean boys on a waxing, but girls on a
waning moon, no doubt to make the boys
sturdy and the girls slim and delicate, is a
fair match for the Orkney Islanders’ objec
tion to marrying except with a growing
moon, while some even wish for a flowing
tide. Another piece of folk-lore associated
with the moon is its supposed influence in
healing certain diseases. In the south of
England the May new moon is said to have
a share in curing scrofulous complaints.
Mr. Henderson relates an interesting case of
a man residing near Chichester who twice
traveled into Dorsetshire with different mem
bers of his family to place them under a
“cunning man,” residing there. His charms
were only potent in the month of May. He
further required his patients to have their
eyes fixed upon the new May moon while
they received from his hands boxes of oint
ment made from herbs gathered when the
moon was full. On one occasion as many as
two hundred persons waited to be charmed.
In Staffordshire, a remedy for whooping
cough consists in taking out the child to let it
see the new moon, at the same time rubbing
its stomach and repeating the following invo
cation:
What I see, may it increase;
What I feel, may it decrease;
In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Amen.
In Cornwall, the club-moss, if properly gath
ered is considered “good against all diseases
of the eyes.” The gathering is regarded as a
mystery, and if any man ventures to write
the secret, the virtues of the moss avail him
no more. In spite of this, however, Mr.
Hunt has boldly revealed to us this wonder
ful secret, the mystery of which, to quote his
own words, consists as thus:—On the third
day of the moon, when the thin crescent is
seen for the first time, show it the knife with
which the moss is to be cut, and say:
as Christ healed the issue of blood,
Do thou cut what thou euttest for good.
At sundo#n, having carefully washed the
hands, the club-moss is to be cut kneeling.
It is to be carefully wrapped in a fine linen
cloth, and subsequently boiled in some water
taken from the spring nearest its place of
growth. This may be used as a fomentation,
or the club-moss may be made into an oint
ment with butter made from the milk of a'
new cow. In Devonshire, the hair and nails
should always be cut during the waning of
the moon, and persons troubled with corns
are recommended to cut them after the
moon has been at its full—a superstition
alluded to in the “British Apollo:”
Pray tell your Querist if he may
Rely on wl a _th vulgar say.
That when the moon’s in her increase.
If corns be cut they’li grow apace;
But if you always do take care
After the ful' your corns to pare.
They do insensib y decay
And’ will in time wear quite away.
It is a very prevalent notion that the moon
exerts an extraordinary influence on the in
sane, increasing the symptoms of madness.
This originates, according to some, from the
fact that the insane are naturally more rest
less on light than on dark nights; and that
their symptoms are [consequently more ag
gravated through loss of sleep. Dr. Forbes
Winslow, in summing up the various theories
on the subject, says it is impossible to ignore
altogether the evidence of such men as Pine],
Daquin, Guislain, and others. Yet the ex
perience of modern psychological physicians
is to a great degree opposed to the deductions
of these eminent men. He adds: “May not
the alleged changes observed among the in
sane at certain phases of the moon ari.-e, not
from the direct, but the indirect influence of
this planet ? It is well known that the rari- ,
ty of the air, the electric conditions of the
atmosphere, the degree of heat, dryness,
moisture, and amount of wind prevailing,
are all more or less modified by the state of
the moon. In the generality of bodily dis
eases, what obvious changes ane observed to
accompany the meteorological conditions
! referred to ? Surely those suffering from
1 diseases of the brain and nervous system
, affecting the mind cannot, w th any show of
1 reason, be considered as exempt from the j
, operat.o s of agencies that aie universally
■ admitted to affect patients afflicted with
j c tli r maladies. ” In a note, he further tells
j us that an intelligent lady, who occupied for
. about five years the position of matron n his
, establ shment for insane ladies, has remark-
I ed that she invariably observed a great agi
tation among the patients when the moon
was at its full. Shakspeare informs us that
the moon makes men insane when
She comes more nearer earth than she was wont
Another popular idea is that the weather
changes with the moon’s quarters, although,
of course, there is no truth in this piece of j
vulgar astrology. That educated people, as j
Dr. Tyl-ir has truly pointed out, to whom ;
exact weather records are accessible, should j
still fii.d satisfaction in this fanciful lunar ,•
rule, is an interesting case of intellectual sur- j
vival. Yet, however, the fact remains, and i
in every day life one of the most frequent
remarks appertaining to wet weather is, that ,
it will no doubt change with the moon. In
many parts of the country great attention is |
paid to the day of the week on which the
change of the moon occurs. Thus, if the
moon change on a Sunday, we are told j
“there will be a flood before the month is
out;” whereas a new moon on a Monday is I
nearly everywhere welcomed as being a eer-
t tin omen not only of fair weather, 1
but good luck. A change, however, on Sat
urday, seems universally regarded as a bad
sign, and numerous proverbs to this effect
are found, scattered here and there, in most
parts of England as well as Scotland.

SAWING THE LOG.
Oulda. 011 George Eliot.
I remember once hearing a clever man
argue that George Eliot was a clever student,
who made talent, do the work of genius, and
1 remember objecting to him that talent
alone could easily have produced “Middle-
march” and “Romola,” but that nothing
short of genius could have created the Tulh-
ver family and old Silas Marner. Here is a
“purely fanciful” distinction, yet it is a very
real one, and who does not regret that
the training her mere talent has received in
the dreary and positive disputations of sci
ence has clouded and cramped the natural
exercises of her imagination, and thus with
it the growth of her genius? “Talent does
what it can; genius does what it must,” Owen
Meredith somewhere has said; he had better
have worded the latter half of the sentence,
“what it wills,” for it is just this free, exu
berant, and delightful exercise of the will
which ever marks out the creation of genius
from the labored, however polished, produc
tion of talent. It is as the mask, freshly
wrought out of the marble, beside the plaster
mask that is only a copy. The true poet, the
true artist, always takes delight in creating.

With the chills and fever, the victim of
malaria may still recover by using this cele
brated specific, which not only breaks up the
most aggravated attacks, but prevents their

quinine, not only because it does the business
far more thoroughly, but also on account of
its perfect wholesomeness and invigorating
action upon the entire system.
