KVHAMIW BOCKWOOD. “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. H ood’s Household Mugatine. 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.
