Kiss me now, 0 dearest one
Press thy ruby lips to mine;
Kiss me, soon I will be gone—
ICiss and tell mo I am thino.
Fastlifo’s taper now is dimming;
Fast my hours aro passing by;
Soon my spirit will be singing,
Iu the realms beyond the sky.
Hark ! I sec the angels coining;
Happy voices seem to sav—
Brother, now be up anl doing,
Bro wo bear thy soul away.
Soon my shattered bark will anchor
In the harbor of the soul,
“Where the wicked cease from troubling’
When I reach tho Christians goal—
Far beyond life s stormy waters,
And its troubles dark and drear;
Far beyond its gloomy shadows,
I shall see my Saviour dear.
Weep not, then, while I am passing
Through death’s dark and chilly shade,
For I know my joy'll bo lasting
Where no sorrows can invade.
THE HERMIT OF LONE CABIN,
A Curious Case of Mistaken Identity.
BY GEORGE W, BROWNE.
Away to the base of the beetling
crags and cliff's of the hoary Sierras
stands a lonely cabin, where only ruin
and desolation mark what might have
once been a pleasant, if not a happy
home.
Well do I remember the dark, tem¬
pestuous night that a friend and myself
passed beneath its roof, but a few years
since- While seated before a glowing
fire, for it was late in autumn, he gave
me the following veritable history of
the place, which is so strange that I
think its interest will warrnt mo in
placing it before your readers
Notwithstanding that it was miles
from any habitation, several years be¬
fore a solitary individual had appeared
in the vicinity, and, out of tho material
that he procured from the neighboring
forest, built this rude cabin.
He was a stranger to all who met him,
and, seeming to avoid rather than to
seek acquaintances, he ooon became
known as “The Hermit of Lone Cabin/
Three years passed, and the unknown
still lived in his seclusion, subsisting
upon the game that he readily procured
with the aid of bis rifle.
One day about *his time, as the her¬
mit, contrary to his usual habit, visited
the nearest settlement, twenty miles be¬
low, he was met by a new-comer in the
place, who greeted him with the famil¬
iarity of an old friend;
Appearing surprised, he denied ever
having seen the other, and would fain
have left him, but the would-be associ¬
ate seized him by the collar, exclaim¬
ing ;
‘You can’t deceive me, Loren Gray.
I knew you the moment I saw you,
tho ngb five years have changed your
looks greatly. Don't you remember
Frank Chapman? I am ho. Come,
old boy, I want to show you to another
old friend whom I know you will be
glad to see.'
Still the hermit, confused and excited,
protested that his name was not Loren
Gray, and that he had never met the
other.
‘Twon't do, old chap / you can’t de¬
ceive me by playing off in ‘that way,’
was the reply he received. ‘I know
that jou are Loren Gray, and I have a
friend down to the Eagle House who
desires to see you on most important
business. Come with me, and if he
dou’t recognize you I’ll stand the drinks
for the crowd,’ for by this time quite a
knot of spectators had gathered around
the spot, eager to know what was up.
Yielding with great reluctance, the
hermit was half dragged by the impetu¬
ous stranger down to the public house,
followed by a throng of lookers-on.
‘I tell you it’s a mistake, repeated
the victim; ‘my^name is not Loren Gray,
but-’
By this time they had entered the
building, and the stranger, turning
quickly to a young man lying on a dry
goods box near at band, indolently
smoking his pipe, cried:
‘Here, Al, I have found him.'
Springing to bis feet id surprise, the
one addressed, who did not seem to be
mored than 21 or 22 years of age, but
wkh tall, athletic form, turned upon
the intruders.
As he caught sight of the hermit
he staggered back like one shot, and,
pressing his hand to his forehead, ex¬
claimed;
‘Loren Gray!’
•NTs,’ cried his friend, triumphantly,
‘I found him leas tv.un five minutes ago,
but be lias the audacity to deny- his
indentity.’
Unheeding tho words, the young man
faced the hermit, and, as bis piercing
eyes met tho other's, he said, hoarsely,
trembling with pas-mm.
‘Have you fi< gotten me, Loren
Gray ?’
‘For mercy's sake toll me what this
means! I am not'Loren Gray, and
neither do f know you.’
‘Bah ! You need not think to escape
by your lies. I have not hunted for
you this five years to bo baffled now
that I have found you. If you do not
remember me, iiavo betrayed you forgotten my
sister, whom you and murder¬
ed ?'
■I-•
‘Not a word, dog ! You cau offer no
atonement for the, wrongs that you
have done save iu a sacrifice of
life. But I wish to take no advantage,
and I challenge you to meet me in mor
tal combat,
‘No, crid the other. ‘You are a stran¬
ger to me and I np quarrel with
you. I must decline to fight you.’
as the hermit spoke tfho words, which
in the minds of the rough men around
him marked him a coward, the room
rung with their cries of derision.
The young stranger, too, his face
noarly colorless with rage, uttered a
contemptuous cry as he dealt tho man a
smart blow upon the cheek.
‘There, see if that will not awaken
you- I say that one of us must die.
Take your choice of vveopons and meet
me at once, lam im patient to have it
over. I care but little though I fall, if
I can know ere I die that the untimely
fate of my sister hits been avenged.
Come, Norman/ addressing his compan¬
ion,‘you will be my Will. second, while he
can Belect whom he If 1 fall, you
know my request. Don't lot him es¬
cape. Well, Loren Gray,” dare you
meet me like a mau.br have you oDly
oeurage enough to wrfc upon defenseless
women V - L,
The hermit, fairly Twrieth'hg under
the treatment he haG. haft, received received, could
only look upon him irj silence.
The excited crowd began to hoot him,
and the confusion was becoming omin¬
ous of danger to the trembling man,
when the avenger silenced them with a
move of the hand.
Then, drawing a brace of heavy re
volvers, he extended them both toward
the other,
‘Take one,’ he said fiercely. ‘I 80 ®
you are not armed; bill they art loaded j
alike, and you have nothing to fear
from that score.’
Without a word tho I ewildered victim
mechanically took one of tho proffered
fire-arms.
‘Mid tho applause of the erowd, the
duelist led the way to the door, aud out
into the open air.
Jostled and pushed by the excited
spectators, the hermit slowly followed.
Once out side and the young stranger’s
second began to measure off the ground
for tho duel- As the preliminaries
were arranged the duelists took tho po¬
sitions assigned them. The chaleDger
impatiently waited tho slow movements
of his foe.
‘I call upon you to witness,’ said the
recluse of Lone Cabin, addressing the
spectators, ‘that this is no quarrel of
mine. But, after the treatment I have
received from this man, whom I posi¬
tively say l Dever saw before, I am
driven to this. If I fall please see that
I have a proper burial. As a last favor
I beg that you will not in any way try
to discover my identity. Will you pro¬
mise that?’ Receiving the hearty as¬
sent of the bystanders, the man signi¬
fied that he was in readiness for action.
Then succeeded the ominous ‘one,
two, three, fire/ when the young strati
ger rapidly discharged his weapon, and
with such accuracy that his autagnnist
reeled forward and fell to the earth,
witnout making a hostile movement.
Smiling grimly, the slayer remained
motionless, a3 the spectators rushed to
the side of the fallen man.
‘Is he dead ?' cried one.
‘Dead as a stone!’ exclaimed a tall,
weather-beaten mountaineer, who was
bending over the silent form.
‘Then my work is done, and the
wrongs my poor sister suffered are
aveDged !’ said the young sttanger. as
he turned to join his companion
Meanwhile some of the others began
to make preparations for the burial of
the unfortunate hermit.
While a couple were in tho act of
raising the body to bear it away, they
were surprised to see the long, flowing
beard worn by the unknown person fall
to the ground, and a face as white and
smoothe as a maiden’s suddenly dis¬
closed to their gaze.
A glance told them that it was false,
and that the hermit of Lone Cabin w. s
a woman!
In the height of theexcitemeent fol¬
lowing the discovery, the stranger duel¬
ist reached the spot, and, as he caught
j
sight of the fair countenance, he cried:
‘My God ! it is my sister ! and fell
senseless
To cut tho story short, by the time
the _ speaker recovered bis consciousness
after tho fearful shock ho had received,
tho wounded one began to show signs
of returning life.
It was then found that, though tho
shot had barely escapod being fatal, it
was not likely to prove so. A long
sickness followed, however, and it was
months before tho whole story was
known.•
‘The hermit of Lone Cabin was in¬
deed the sister of him who had nearly
become her murderer. Years before'
she had met and loved a man by the
name of Warren Arnold, but on the day
before that fixed for the wedding ho
had disappeared, and she, nearly bro¬
ken-hearted, was a few days alter ab¬
ducted and borne away to the mountain
J^Heat of a band of roau ageDta, tho
leader of whom was none other than
her false lover.
More grief-stricken than ever, she
succeeded in escaping: but, somewhat
crazed, instead of returning to her
friends, she had sought a iife of lonel i
ness. Her brother Ralph, who had
been away at school for three years,
learned of her misfortunes and supposed
death, and returned to his home to be>
gin a search for the villian who had
,, ^ , causo of , much , suffering ^
i so
I Warren Arnold’s truo name was Lo
ren Gray, and Ralph ever spoke ol him
“Y that name, though hia sister had
never known him by it.
Accompanied by his friend, Norman
Arlin, he had sought far and wide for
him, but to make at last that well-nigh
fatal error in mistaking the ’hermit’ for
his foe.
As his sister had not seen him for
eight years, and at a time when there
is the most change in one’s appearanco,
she had not recognized him.
When she was able, they all returned
to their homes a happy company.
Later, Norman Arlin, * becamo her
husband, and a new life dawned for her.
The Lone Cabin stands, a moinento
of the past.
Nobody in Nevada ever caffs Joseph
Furmann a liar, becauso he is quick to
shoot. He is reported by the San
Francisco Argus as telling about a
cave which he had lately entered.
“Suddenly/’ho said, “my pick, which
I was carryin’ over my shoulder, gave
a sudden cant around as if somebody
bed either pushed or pulled it. In the
excitement of tho moment I let goo'
the shovel, an' I could hear it goin’
whiz through the air, an, about five
seconds after I heord somethin, strikin'
hang agin, a rock. All this time tho
pick was a draggin me on. I roaches
round for my pistol, and tire derned
pistol, 6ir, was a stickin, out straight
from my side, an, jest kep, in tho sheath
by tho waist-strap, an, it was a puffin
me on, too.’ With great particularity
and frequeut pause, for expressions of
disbelief, if anybody eared to risk any,
the miner described his investigation,
which ho gave the following climax:
“I comes to the edge of a deep ditch,
an’ strainin my eyes down inter it. I
seen liye skeletons a lyin’ at the bottom
an’ five picks alongside o’ them- An,
then I looks across this ditch or .chasm
an’ sees a wall o’ rock of a dull gray
color but sparklin' allover it with bitso
shinin’ things lookin' like iron or steel.
An stickin’ dead to this wall I sees my
pick an, my shovel an. then l soos
right through the hull bizness. Them
skeletons at the bottom o’ the chasm
were men as bed held on to their picks
an’ shovels till they wore dragged
right over the edge o' this chasm, an,
either was killed outright by the fall
or was starved to death, for there was
no way o’ gettin, out of it.
The Careful Man.
A stranger entered Woodward av¬
enue hardware store and asked if they
kept shingle nails there. Being in¬
formed that they had a dozen kegs on
hand, he further inquired:
“Aro they genuine shingle nails, or
only imitations?”
“They are shingle nails, of course.’’
‘Let me see them.’
A handful was placed on the coun¬
ter before him, and he took several
nails to the door, where he could
get a stronger light. After scanning
them throughly, he tested two or three
between his teeth, tried to bend them
between his teeth aud said:
“Well, they seem to be all right and
I’ll take five pounds. I don't want to
appear captious, but I got shingle
nails along here about a month ago,
carried them home, and what do you
suppose they turned out to be?’’
“Sixspennies,” answered the clerk
“No sir. They were shoe-pegs, sir/
“That was strange/ mused the
clerk.
“And another time when I order¬
ed shingle nails'’ continued tho stran¬
ger, ‘the clerk put up four stove hand-

“Curious mistake, that said tho
“Another time when I askad for
shingle nails, they put me up four corn
poppers and a match-safe. These things
have sunken deep into my soul, and
you must’nt blame mo for seeming
particular. Now, these aro nails are
they?’
“Of course.”
“Shingle nails?’
‘•Yo 3 sir-' *
“Just write on this card and give me
your name, the name of the firm-the
number of this store, and the date
of the mouth. I. don’t want to make
trouble, but if I find when I get home
that you have put me up brick bats
and harness-straps in the place of
shingle nails. I’ll come back and make
it warm for you.’ -
