“I must have my pay right off, so
you may as well stir around and get it.
■or there'll be a fuss!” said tho haughty
Mr. Starbuck to a poor man who owed
him a small sum of money.
,
“ Well,” replied the humble fellow
whom we Will call Jack Styles, “I will
pay yon next week without fail. Peter
Fanley and is owing me enough to pay it
he i3 coming over to Butcher John
son’s next Tuesday with a beef critter will
and he will then pay me, and I
*
hand it over to you.”
“ Mind you do, or you’ll be sent
month np
tor a or two!” was the reply.
This threat seemed hard and uncalled
for, as Jaofc always paid his debts when
ever he could; but ho had been very
unfortunate all through the hard
winter, and now needed a little time to
pay the debts that had accumulated
He had been very iil with rheumatism
for a month or two; beside, his wife
aud. two children had been sick with
fevers, and his doctor’s bill had amount
ed to more than he had earned; for
when ho could work his help had been
needed at home, and work had been
scarce, and it was with difliculty ho had
found anything to do when he was able
to do it. Old Starbuck knew all this •
and knew also that Jack was an honest
fellow: but no always was very hard
with Jack the poor and unfortunate. Very
took the cruel threat much
to heart, and fretted himself nearly into
a fever for two or three days. What if
Fanley It hardly should disappoint iiim, after all?
seemed possible he would,
for the butcher hud the promise of the
>’,v for the following Tuesday; but
Fanley lived some eight miles away,
and something might happen that hie
would not come with her. Oh, ho
hoped there would not; for he had a
great horror of a jail, and had never
been threatened like that before.
Thank God, mon are nor. now im
prisoned for debt in the State where
Jack then lived; but such was the law
at that time; and many a poor man,
though honest, was thrust into prison,
and his family left in want, for the
reason that he could not pay his debts.
What possible good such a iaw could do
we have never been able to see, as it
only filled np the jails, made expense
for the State, and deprived tho family
of the help they needed, beside placing
the culprit in a condition to earn noth
ing to relieve himself of the debt for
which he was imprisoned. Perhaps it
prevented some from running into debt
as much as they otherwise would; in
this respect it might have done some
8°°d
Well, Tuesday came and. Jack kept a
good lookout for Fanley and his cow,
who, in going to the butcher’s, would
• ave to pass his house. About 11
■o’clock of that forenoon a boy came
sunning that to his house to inform him
both m%» and cow were on the wav
thither, but the latter had fallen inlo
thh snow, and he was a little afraid she
was dead. Jack sprung and ran with
all his might to the place wi-ere the e.o„
was lying, which was a half mile from
his house; and there, to his utter ..k-,
spau 1 , the creature Was sprawled on the
snow, stone dead.
.Vliat could have been the matter
with her?” asked Jack, greatly excited,
“ Don’t know, I’m ’less ’tis she’s
trampmg’in sure,
wornt to death the snow.”
Jack locked at the bloated animal
and surmised that Something more than
fatigue had caused the dissolution. But
a sled and yoke of oxen were procured
and the carcass drawn to Butcher John*
ebn, wlio, after making a post-mortem
examination, found that tho deceased
came to her death from dropsy, undue
fatigue from tramping in the snow has
t-ening the event. Of course he could
not purchase the oarcas, of a disc

county, a noise was heard iu the corn
-field adjoining, and in a few minutes a
Korse and rider jumped the rail fence
and Jes. e James stood in the prescncoo
® e man who had insulted his mother.
At the sight of Jesse the man turned
as pale as death and looked as if ho
were about to sink to tho earth.
Biding close to him, Jesse said:
“Did not you know that I would kill
you for the language you used toward
my mother? If you have anything to
say do it quickly, for you have only a
short time live.” '
to
J««t at this time tho wife of the aj>
patently doomed man came screaming
ollt of the house begging Jesse not to
kill her husband. With a stern com
mand of “ Get back into the house, I
mads,me, quick,” the woman went m
weeping bitterly, and with strained
nerves she awaited the dread crack oi
Jesse’s revolver, which wonld make her
a widow.
Turning to the trembling man before
him, Jesse said: “ Get down your’sius on your
knees aud ask forgiveness for

of the public road the man of

God as was never heard in the old
county of Olay. The gentleman pres- j
out, an unwilling spectator to the uf !

With the tears streaming down his face
tho man besought the Almighty to ro
ceive his soul and take care of his chi 1
dren and wife, soon to be without a
father or husband. Mr. Chancellor
dnring the prayer glanced several times
at Jesse, who with drawn pistol sat
sternly on his horse looking at the prayer'; tup
pliant before him. Before the
was concluded the stem lines upon
Jesse’s face seemed to relax from tin ir
wonted severity, and hope dawned
npon the mind of the gentleman that
Jesse would relent from his stem pur- i
pose. ,
At the conclusion of the prayer the
man closed biB eyes and awaited tho ex
pected shot that would send him to
eternity. But he was not destined to
die. The beautiful words cl snppli
cation had touched the better chords of
Jesse’s heart, and the demon within
him was subdued. Addressing the still
kneeling man, he said: “I ought to Kill j
you, but for the sake of your wife I will i
give yon six hours to get out of this
country. Be quick, before I change my
mind.”

A somewhat similar ease occurred in
Milwaukee, Win. A poor woman, of dying
in an infirmary under the charge the
good Dr. 1'a.ii avail*, in 1’ittsburgli,
gttYo him a cold dolhj*.
“I have always tried to "give son*,
thing to those poorer than myself,” she
said. “ When I am dead give this in
charity, and give if, if possible, ii*, Mil
wuukee, my old homo.”
A year passed, and Dr. Passavar A still
kept Milwaukee the coin, when he was called to
sinfilarto to establish ait infirmary
hisown.
The story of tho dollar was told, and
awakened sympathy. Subaeriptions
poured in, and tho subscribers, with om
voice, agreed that the great building,
when finished, should bear tho name of
the poor widow.

Then “llio price I was deserving
Far surpassed their usual rate.”
Then I vowed to den my old clothea

And solicit for such hire.

Lores to utter Willful lies.”
You are trembling now—be calm, wife- •
Though tho char go is base end dark.
It will vanish through tho clearing
From my good name, as a lark
VuhlKltes through the distant ether,
When a photographic view
But remains npon the vision
Of the tracings Where it flew.
Oh, my Godl to thua be branded
Thief—thief? It cannot bet
Yet—this good friend vouchee for It—
Truth it was he spoke to me.
Must my pride faoe this foul insult
To my manhood’s better part—
I, who ever held as sacred,
Next to God. an honoat heart?
How dare men scandal each other,
When tho Maker knoweth all?
Wi ll 1 know I dare not do it,
Ijost myself receive a fall;
Black and damning was the spirit
loosing thus his stinging tongue,
For the hurt in firing missiles
