“Shoot him !”
“Flax him "
“BlnmmaX his demijohn !"
“Guv him purtic'lar HU t”
Tim objpet of those excited threats stood
with folded arms and flashing ayes in the
centre of a group of minera, Mexicans and
exasperated citizens, iu front of a saloon
in S , California.
He was a man of twenty-five years, tall
and well formed, while his features In
frayed a degree of intelligence far above
that, of the surrounding assembly.
He was dressed in a coarse hunting
shirt and trowsers, and his belt was stuck
f ill of weapons of every description. The
latter, with his determined countenance,
caused tile men to think twice before at
tempting to execute their threats.
A herculean miner drew a knife and ad
vanced doggedly toward tho young man,
whose hand flew-to his belt and pulled
forth a revolver, which he leveled at his
foe, exclaiming in a low determined tone
as he did so:
“Keep your distance, Jim Price, or yon
shall t. .to the contents of this 1" What do
you mean by these threats men? Have J
ever injured any of you ?”
“Ho, ho, ! 1 should think yer'dax thnt!
.Tint es tho’ you didn’t know what we
mean ! Go for him, Jim; we’ll buck yer !"
said one of the group with an oath.
“Draw a step nearer and you’re
doomed 1” declared Mark Felton, for such
was tho name of the young man.
“If you have any charge against me
ntato it, and allow me a chance to vindi
cate myself.” he added, as Jim Price step
ped backward and rejoined the crowd.
“Yer arc charged ’ith murder, young
’un !” Raid a brutal-faced miner, with a
grin; “ain’t that enough to condemn yer,
Os be yer purty sure we’ve got the wrong
CUSH ?”
This elicited a laugh (rom the men, and
helped to make them still more determined
to bring Felton to immediate justice (?).
How tickle is man. Three days previous
to the events just narrated any man pres
ent would have sworn to the honesty of
Mark’s character and intention, yet now
all wore ready to believe him guilty of the
greatest crimes 1 For five years he had
dwelt among them, and never before had a
wrong act tarnished his reputation; yet it
required only the charge of murder, with
bnt slight evidence of his ginit , to make
them anxious to hung him without judge
or jury. Yes, though, something more
was required to condemn him, in the
hearts of the men; that, something was co
pious danghts of the vile stutl sold at the
approximate saloon, which makes beasts
of the most refined of human beings.
Juke Forbes, who owned the saloon in
question, was as low u character as ever
placed his foot iu 8 . and knowing how
easily thu men were excited by the use of
whisky, he determined to deal it to them
freely! and thus insure the execution of
Murk Felton, whom he listed for reasons
of his own, and desired his removal. Mark
was not a man to despair without reason,
vet he saw how almost hopeless his case
was, for he could not then prove his inno
cence of the crime with which he was
charged. He resolved, however, to sell
his life as dearly as possible, and perhaps
he might gain time, during which some
thing might turn up by which ho could es
tablish his innocence.
Still holding the revolver in readiness
for instant use, he fixed his eyes on the last
speaker, and an id:
“Whom have I murdered, men ? Why
do you suspect me of such a crime ? Have
I ever given yon reason to suppose men
murderer before now, and have you any
conclusive evidence of my guilt iu this
case ?”
“To yer fust question, I answer that
Ter’ve wiped out Half Turner, fur the
sake a’ gettin' a fusty uuggftt what he was
fortiuate 'uough to find t’other day 1 Why
we suspect yer a' his murder is cause we
know it I As to yer ever doin’ sioh a thing
afore, we never caught yer at it, nor had
reason to suspect yer, yit yer mought, an
been fortiuate ’nought uot to git found out !
Our evidence agin’ yer in this case is the
simple faek that Jake Forbes seed yer with
a big nugget edaacfly like Turner’s, and
more’n all thot, yer wa’u iu 8 last
night whou he was murdered, an* yer own
knife was found stickin’ iu his heart this
moruin’ 1 Ef thot ain’t ’nough to condemn
yer, then don't know w’at is 1”
It was Jim Price who spoke, and his
words were audible to every man present.
Mark gazed in astonishment at the
speaker, and exclaimed, his eyes Hashing
with anger;
“It is a lie, and I advise you to inspect
the character of Jake Forbes before you
allow his words to condemn me 1 You re
fuse to credit the assertions of one whom
you have no reason to distrust, while you
believe tho accursed lies of the biggest
scoundrel in H 1 Do you call that jus
tice? E' en Judge Lynch would question
the statements of Jake. If you will wait
till to-morrow morning I will prove my
inuocei,-, hut, if yon choose to execute
me now you will murder a., innaaantman,
and allow the real criminal to go unpun
ished !"
“Efyon ain’t the murderer, perhaps
yer kin tell who is ?” sneered one of the
group.
“I can tell you the name and where
abouts of the marderer of ltalf Turner. I
can also tell you bis motive for killing
him," replied Mark promptly.
“in course yer kin tall, 1 ’ laughed the
miner. “We x’poaed yer could, ef enny
body could. I reckon tbe name o’ the
cuss is Murk Felton, and es to his whar
alrouts, he’s not fur oft' at this minnit.” !
At this instant Juki; Forbes emerged
from the saloon and approached the men,
coolly pufliing a clay pipe. Mark pointed
toward him with his left hand, and said,
in a stern, accusing voice:
“There stands the murderer of Half
Turner whom lie killed for a double pur
pose; to get me into trouble, and to be
rid of Turner. He hates me because Half's
daughter lias refused to marrv him, and
loves me instead, while he hated the old
man because he favored me as the suitor
of his daughter. Now, you all know the
name of the murderer, and liis motives
for committing the act, though I do not
suppose my words will have any weight
against his.”
The men were surprised, and half con
vinced of the guilt of Jake for the mo
ment. The latter, however, though a
shade paler than usual, spoke in a cold,
sneering tone, in answer to the charge:
“Wlmt a fabulous tale yer ar - narratin'
i young ’un ! I care for Jennie Turner, an
| old ’notigh to he her daddy. Ho !ho !
j Yer don’t expect common-sense men t
j believe sicli stuff os thot, do von ? 1
reckon they know better nor thet ! Conn
come, boys’, I’ll stand treat all round one
more, an thou yer kin make the little cus:
dance tinder yonder tree. Thar’s no us.
in delayin’ sicli matters. You all atuv
here n’ guard the boy, while I roll out i
keg of corn-juice, an’ let yer whet up foi
l.iz.”
The “boys," whose confidence in Jake
Forbes was considerably weakened by tin
bold and confident accusation of Mark,
quickly accepted the invitation to partake
>f more whisky, and by the time each had
emptied a glass of the liquor they had
forgottou his words, and were ready to
lsilieve anything against him. Jake was
aware of the influence he gained by “treat
ing” thus freely, ami allowed the men to
Irink their fill of the vile stuff, that their
confidence in him might be secure.
After all had drank to his own grutifien
1 tion, Juke proposed that' they should give
Mark a fair trial on the spot iqid elect a
j man for “Judge Lynch, whose verdict
should be considered conclusive. All
a ;reed to the arrangement, and of course
Juke was elected to the responsible office.
After a plain statement of the case bad
i been made, Murk was called upon to prove
bis innocence. He strictly denied the
charge against him, and demanded that
they should defer his execution till the
following morning, and then give him an
opportunity to prove his own innocence ;
and the guilt of the real criminal. In
conclusion, ho said while u determined
look flushed in his eye,
“If you refuse to wait till morning, and
i persist in executing me now, all I have to
I say is, that I shall resist to the last! You
j can do hh yon choose 1”
Hut the liquor made the men reckless,
while Juke Forbes was inexorable, and it
was decided that Murk Felton should lie
hanged for the willful murder of Half;
Turner. Unperceived ly Murk one of the
men crept up from behind and grasped his
raw in such a manner that it wasimpossi- i
hie to use bis weapons. Before lio could
get himself free several men flung them
selves upon him, bore him to the earth,
and bound him securely. In the meantime
a rope bad been prepared with a noose at
one end, and fastened upon a limb of
“vender tree,” as Jake termed a large pine
which had several times before been used
for a like purpose. After all was in readi
ness for bis execution Murk was hoisted
upon the buck of a horse beneath the tree,
and the noose adjusted about liis nock.
He lmd surrendered all hope, yet he held
his bead erect and gazed unflinchingly at
the howl of hulf-sevages around him.
“Ycr've got five minuts to say yer
prayers and make remarks in,” declared
Jake, fixing his eyes upon a dirty watch
which he drew from Ins trowsers pocket,
while a man stood at the head of the horse
in readiness to speak the word which was
to sound the death-knell of an innocent
j man.
“I have nothing to say, except that God
| igay have mercy on your souls for the
murder which you are about to commit,"
I mud Murk, in li cold, calm tone, as he took
j one last glance ut the scenery of a golden
sunset,
As bis gray eyes swept the broad expanse
of road to view, he observed the figures
of two horsemen about a mile distant,
approaching at a rapid rate. Ho watched
them anxiously us they drew nearer, mid
recognized one ns Jennie Turner and the
other us Walter Reid. The latter was an
old mountaineer who was u great friend of
Murk, and the only man who could prove
his innocence; for they were together on
the night of the murder and witnessed the
not, though they were too lute to render
any assistance to the old flShn.
At length the five minutes had expired,
and the hunter and the maiden were vet
too far away to render their aid in saving
Murk.
Jake gave the signal to start the horse,
but at that instant there came the clear
report of a rifle, and 11 bullet pierced the
brain of the man at the animal's head and
he dropped to the earth with a groan.
Each man turned to learn the source of the
shot, and at that, instant Walt. Reid and
liis fair eempanion dashed through tin
ring of men around the tree, and severed
the rope which encircled the neck of Mark.
The latter h arms were cut free, and he em
braced Jennie, while Walter Reid sternly
accused Juke Forbes of the murder of Half
Turner, and related briefly all he had
seen during the previous night.
W thin fi te ui ininuti s the red criminal
was suspended by the rope which lately
encircled the throat of oar hero. Thus
quickly did the tides of vengeance turn
from one individual to another.
In tho following spring Mark Felton and
Jennie Turner were married, and 11 pros
perous life dawned upon them, while at a
distance of a dozen yards from the gallows
tree a slight mound marked the rude grave
of Jake Forbes, his death tho result of
“stem justice.”
The Fortune Teller.
Olcf gypsy Moll sat, in the corner of her
tent, smoking her afternoon pipe. Old
Moll was a fortune-teller —artful and sly,
a quick reader of human nature and very
shrewd in her guesses; so successful hail
she been at times that, many of the young
and credulous believed her a veritable
witch, and though this inspired them with
fear, yet it threw around the gypsy ft cer
tain fascination which only tended to in
crease her trade.
Old Moll’s tm-c was grimy and dark, and
wrinkled and thin. Her eyes, black and
piercing, were overshadowed by heavy
grey brows, and her forehead was narrow
and low. Her month might once have
been pretty, but now it was disclosed with
tobacco, and where there should have been
.rows of white teeth there were only one or
two unsightly tusks. Moll's nose was thin
and hooked --an evil-looking member —but
well in kvwp.'ng with the leering, sinister
expression of her restless eyes. Her eocwso,
grey hair was usually concealed under a
gaudy red hood, but at times when trade
was dull, she threw aside this piece of
finery, and then the struggling, matted
masses hung down her back, aud clung to
her face, making her frightful to behold,
Her hands were not skeletonisli, not bony
hut large and brown, and sinewy and mas
culine—dreadful hands for n woman.
Old Moll, however, was not altogether
bad. Witty and keen, w ith an imagina
tion equal to any occasion, possessing a
fund of wild, fanciful stories, strange and
exciting accounts, she was a favorite in
camp, and her company was much sought
to enliven the long lazy hours of the gyp-1
sies lives.
As Moll sat smoking lier old black pipe, j
with greasy pots, dirty kettles, and broken
dishes piled around here and there, the
canvas was thrown back, and there ap
peared to her a vision so lovely it touched
her heart, hard as it was.
It was a young girl, with a face heaven
like—so full of sunshine, so fair, so beau
tiful. She was fancifully attired, but with
I perfect taste, and around her head and
1 over her braids of black hair, floated a soft
silvery vail, which, as it glistened and
stione in the sunlight, appeared like a
i halo of glory resting upon the radiant
maiden. She was irresistible, fascinating
though evidently unconscious of the fact;
| every movement was full of grace as iinpul
ively she half danced towards the swarthy
W oh, followed by one of the lmnd, who
lit I conducted li<-r thither.
“Oh a re and bright, happy fate give me,
Vnntie,” she cried, without a shadow of
ear, as she dropped a silver coin into the
dd lißg's lap. “Let me live in a land full of
music and sunshine and flowers, und give
me a life full of love, free from care, free
rom sorrow, free from strife;” and the en
husiastic creature laughingly outstretched
:ior hand, and the dark, horny palm of the
jyjisv closed over it.
Old Midi was in her best of moods; ng
iness seemed to liave gone out of her as
<he gazed at the poor young creature.
For once she exerted herself to please an
other, without other thought. Old Moll
waxed eloquent; she seemed to be lifted
above her usual self, and her glowing de
scriptions of the young girl’s future, which
her vivid imagination enabled her to por
tray, was not only wonderful iu itself, but
really touching and tear starting, some
thing so pure, beautiful, unexpected, from
a source so dark—a black, murky cloud
shedding soft white snow flukes
“I half believe you,” exclaimed the
young girl, flushed anil excited; “Good
bye, Auntie, good-bye; I hope - hope it trill
come true;” and then passing through the
opening the bright form was hid from sight.
Old Moll forgot to chuckle herself as
usual; forgot to ring the silver coin upon
the stones as she was wont to do; and her
pipe neglected, the ashes grew cold and
1 white. Long she sat there, until tho gol
den head of day grew twilight grey; and
then the sinseir-ed woman tlmiHt usulo the
' canvas, and looking up to the sky watched
the stars as one by one they burnt tliem
j selves into the blue. Hhe threw off her
! red hood, and tossed it inside. The wind
ns if objecting to so much hideousness in
such a beautiful night, yet feeling a sort of
| pity excited by the unusual, wistful expres-
Hion of old Moll’s countenance, drew the
tangled hair over her face, and vailed it
; from sight; so only God knew of the tears
that tracked down the untraveled, elioked
| up wrinkle-paths, for they were hidden by
this cloud of grey which overshadowed all.
The night came down, and Moll, ace in
i tomed to prostrate herself before this dark
j shadow, threw herself on her bed of leaves
j and straw, and made her obeisance in the
j old stereotype.! way introduced by slumber
iu the beginning of the world.
!*** * • *
“The young woman is dead, Moll,” said
Gypsy Jo, strolling into Moll’s tent, a few
days after.
Moll’s pipe fell from her mouth, and
left a little trail of red ashes on the ground,
Her face grew rigid, and she threw off her
hood with a jerk, and run her fingers into
her hair, while her eyes grew very bright
and eager.
“I knew it, I knew it,” she exclaimed.
“I may never see it, but it was Heaven 1
described, I felt it. There’s no place on
the earth free from care, from sorrow, from
strife, I know licit without tell mg'. There
should be caution even in wishiu’ for hnp
;pi ness. Hhe And to die: there’s no land
full of flowers, of music, of sunshine, of
. love—no kind free from care, from sorrow,
I from strife hut Heaven —ami she prayed
for that.”
There seemed to he a spell over tin
place. There was a voice sounding
! through the air, and they fancied they saw
! repeated the scene they had so lately wit
1 nessed: a radiant creature going out from
j their midst, but ere she left, turning her
bright head towards them, and laughingly
excitedly, exclaiming: "Good-bye, Auntie,
good-bye, I hope it will come true.”
Her desire lias been granted. She lmd
wished for perfect happiness, and she hud
found it—uot on earth but iu Heaven.

Cremation, or Burning the Bodies of the
Dead.
It is time to Consider whether the good
of generations yet unborn does uot de
mand of ns that, we should find some other
mode of disposing of the dead than that of
committing their bodies to the earth. It is
said that the air for miles around great
cemeteries is tainted and rendered impure
by the decaying bodies. It must follow
then, as a matter of fact, that the health
of the survivors is affected by this decay
of animal matter. It is believed that dis
ease and death are thus produced, and that
the whole vitality of a community or a
| nation will be lessened by the continuance
lof tlx - present form of sepulture. What
then is the remedy for this evil ? We
j cannot, as the Parasees do, place our
, dead iu lonely towers, where the flesh is
soon consumed by vultures and other birds
of prey, and tho bones alone are left; but
we may return to the antique method of
burning tho bodies.
Avery interesting discussion on crema
tion was not long since held in England,
in which Sir Henry Thompson, one of
the most eminent physicians of London,
came forward as an advocate of the new
method; and iu Zurich, in Switzerland, a
large number of persons have very recently
formed a society to promote the burning
of corpses, the members pledging them
selves that after death their bodies shall;
bo burned. This association has de
termined to adopt the newly discovered
method of a Milan professor for burning
bodies. Professor Brunetti, of I’adna,
has made many experiments in the art
of cremation, but according to his sys
tem three hours and a half of burning are
required to consume the bones, leaving
white ashes that weigh about 3J pounds.
It takes 150 pounds of fire wood to com
plete this process. According to the
newer method of the Milan professor, the
body is lowered from the hall of the
building into a vault where, either with
the coffin or without, the body is placed
in a receptacle made of fire brick, over
which a fire-proof cover fits, and from
which a high chimney conducts the smoke j
and gases out into the open air. After
the body has been placed in this recepta
cle a stream of hotj air at white heat is
turned upon it, aud in twenty minutes
the body is entirely consumed, and what
Is not left iu a little heap of snow-white
ashes has evopornn and in guss or smoke.
The cost of this process, even where the
hot air has to ho prepared for each suc
cessive body, is only about three dollars.
The cost of building and fitting up the
cremation ball would be about 612,000.
The most serious objection yet urged j
to the burning of the dead is that it would
give immunity in cases of poisoning where
the criminal could only be detected by j
the exhumation and dissection of the
body. Such cases, however, are rare,
and the objection cun be avoided by hold
ing an inquest in every doubtful case.—
Exchange.
A Good brother in a Baptist church of
Miami county, Inniana, while giving his
experience, not long ago, said: “Brethen,
I've been a tryin' this night onto forty
year, serve the Lord and get rich both at
once, and, I tell yer, it's mi b hty hard sled
din !”
Honorable mention is made of a Maine
servant girl who is now serving her eighty-
S second winter under the same roof. She
has washed dishes 89,790 times, and comes
yet gaily to her task. Blessed old gild !
