LIFE'S WEST WINDOW.
We stand at life’s west windows
And think of the years that have gone,
Remembering the coming sunset,'
We, too, must remember the morn ;
But the sun will set, the day will close,
And an end will cocnc to all our woes.
As we watch from the wcstorn casements,
Reviewing our happy youth,
We mourn for its vanished promise,
Of honor, ambition and truth;
But heroes will fall and pride decay,
When we think how soon we must pass away.
We stand at life’s west windows,
And turn not sadly away,
To watch on our children’s faces
The noontidq of sparkling dav^
But our sun must set, our lips grow dumb,
And to look from our windows our children
come.
Still looking from life’s west windows,
And we knew we would not again
Look forth from the eastern lattice,
And live over all life’s pain ;
Though life’s dawn be bright, its closo is
sweet.
Since it brings a rest to our weary feefc
The Dog’s Nobility.
I think it was in 'SO or 'sl when I
wsb crossing the plains to reach the
gold-fields. There were only three of
us, and we wore all the time on the
lookout for Indians. I believe the
Mormons had only settled at Salt Lake
about four years previous : and to cross
the plains was in those days a risky
undertaking. We rode all day aud at
night one always stood guard.
There was an awful silence in the
plains, and sometimes the silence weigh
ed down upon us so strangely that we
would ride on for hours without speak
ing, and you never heard even the bark™
ing of a coyote.
The air was rare and transparent,
and the expanse about us as level as a
vast sea, with occasional billowy heaves
which ouo could seo at a distance of
20 miles. It was nearly always the
same, except where the buffalo skulls
were very thickly strewn, or where
those queer Indian graves raised on
poles stood out against the horizon, like
black insects with very long legs.
bo we came at last to the head of
(he Sweetwater, then uoarly a thousand
miles from any settlement; and tho
skulls lay very thickly there —thick as
bowlders in a torrent-bed sometimes;
and there were little mounds all over
the plain, and theso mouuds were all
graves.
Each grave had a great buffalo or
elk skull—all white and bleached and
ghastly looking—at one end of it. I
remember some of the elk skulls must
have measured five feet between the
tips of the horns, and the hone was
white and dry as salt. And on every
skull that was placod on a mound that
had been written in peueil or scratched
iu with a knife, the name of the dead
man below, such as “ William Bawlius,
died Bth of May, 27 years, Pike county,
Missouri."
They were nearly all from Pike
county, Missouri, and we got tired of
reading so many of them. There were
other skulls lying along the road here
and there with little sentences written
on them in pencil stating that so and
so aud so~and so had passed by on such
a day.
We used to pick up a clean skull
ourselves, once in a while, and write
something of this kiud on it, bo
that we ni’ght leave a sort of cluo
as to what had becuuie of us if wo
should get killed.
Well, as we were stumbling over tho
graves and reading the inscriptions on
tho skulls, I suddenly saw a great do*r
rise fioin a mound at some distance and
slowly retreat to another mouud still
further eff, where he turned and start
ed at us. He was one of those huge
English mastiffs, and must have belong'
cd to one of the dead men. You could
see through him ; no starving wolf
could have been gaunter, and his great
p r otruding eyes had the wildest look
you ever saw. He seemed to have lost
his voice and his flesh together, and
looked lily; the very phantom of a dog.
We called and whistled to him but he
never barked, only stared at us with
the same wild look. Then we went to
the grave he had been lying on, and it
was nameless—there was no skull exo
cept the long coffin-shape of the mound.
We tried for ever so long to coax tho
dog even to come and eat something,
but he would not come near us, aud
would run off in a weak, shy way, if we
tried to approach him. God knows
how long he had been there ! Wo re
mained the whole afternoon, just to dig,
a little bole for water for tho dog; you
could strike water there at four or five
itet, right among the graves. Then we
left some crackers and dry food for him
and rode away west.
Ai T went I turned and saw him re
turn to the grave aod lie down on it at
lull length, as though trying to guard
it. And I watched him, until at last,
when I turned in my saddle, 1 could
Bee nothing except the white skulls all
behind me, and a lew weird Indian

Simpson's Hide.
I met Simpson a few evenings ago,
,aqd he ak#d me to join him in a little
fan.
He was dressed to death.
Had on a boiled picoadilly and a rose
in his buttonhole.
Said I, “what’s up ?"
He twirled his cane gracefuHy and
replied :
“Circus—want to go along ?"
Of course I did, and I told him so.
We w*nt and secured good seats.
He paid the admission fee.
Ho raised the money by selling his
father’s shot-gun to a junk-man for old
iron.
The performance wasn’t decidedly
classical, but wo managed to stick it
out.
It may not be out of place to remark
here that Simpson, like most young men
of to-day, has a weak spot.
It is his knowledge of equestrian
ism.
He boasts of having ridden Mexican
plugs and all sorts of ill-natured ani*
mals.
So when the ringmaster announced
in stentorian tones that a premium of
five dollars would be awarded to tho
person who could ride the mule around
the ring three times, Simpson merely
turned to me and murmured :
“Would you like to go on a pionic to
morrow ?”
“Yes," said I.
“All right!" he responded, “then
I’ll just scoop in that five dollars and
we’ll go."
I thought he was over-confident, but
I determined not to tell him so, as my
bones were not to bo involved.
The ring was by this time pretty
well crowded by ambitious gamins, sev
eral of whom tackled the mule to their
sorrow.
Then the ringmaster spatted Simpa
son in his new clothes, and felt proud
of having such a noble-looking young
man step down to tackle the “fiery and
untamed."
Simpson looked complacently, and the
fellows who hopped out of the ring
wounded, smiled maliciously; but his
courage didn’t forsake him.
The ringmaster looked pleased as the
mule was led up.
Simpson spat on his hands and
mounted tho animal, with his legs
around his neck, and his hands clasped
tightly onto his equator.
“Go in, Simpson !" shouted the audi
ence, loudly.
Then the ringmaster snapped his
whip and the mule started off. *
So did Simpson—off the mule, head
first.
He arose, covered with dirt, his im
maculate shirt-front smeared with
mud and his new clothes almost ruin'
ed.
But ho was spunky.
“Don’t give up 1" screamed oyery
body.
And he didn’t.
He mounted the innocent-looking
quadruped once more.
The mule ran in every direction and
tried all &orts of ways to relievo him
self of his burden, but iu vain.
He smiled just as if the five dollars
were in his hand.
Then the mule stood on its hind
legs, and tho blood commenced to rush
to Simpson’s head, but ho held on firm
ly, until the animal, satisfied of its ina*
bihty to rid itself of its load in that
manner, resorted to the never-failing
trick of rolling.
After Simpson had been rolled on
four or five times, lie suddenly remem
bered that Old Drubs had announced
that it would rain on the following day,
and there would be no use of getting
that five dollars, as we couldn’t go on
a racket in the rain.
So he gave up.
He was a sight to behold as he walk
ed out of the tent.
When we got to his house, his fath
er saw the condition of his clothes.
And he waxed wroth.
And murmured :
“Come hither, my gay and festive
off spring."
And he went.
The old man shook hands with his
ear.
And took him into the barn.
On the way down he broko a picket
off tho fence in a very suggestive way.
It seemed to me that there was an
Indian massacre going on in tho barn.
When I met Simpson the next time
he looked as if lie felt liko clubbing
himself.
He looked as melancholy as a super
annuated army overcoat.
“I thought you could ride a mule,"
I said, playfully.
“So I can," he replied, sullenly, “but
not a circus mule ?"
I believed him.

Jones, a deacon of an up-country
church, is a somnambulist, and his
nightly wanderings have long been a
source of constant worriment to Mrs.
Jones, who has tried her best to break
him of the habit, but without success.
Last week, however, she read in t.he
paper that cold water suddenly dashed
upon the sleep-walking individual was
a remedy never known to fail, and, con
sequently, determined to test the truth
of it.
Accordingly, on Saturday afternoon
she carried a small tub of water to the
top ot the stairs, just outside her bed
room door, in order to be in readiness
for the night’s campaign, and. to insure
its good effect, put several large pieces
CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1.1877.
of ice into the water just before retir
ing;
Now it happened that, on Saturday
afternoon, the church of which Jones
is deacon being destitute of a pastor, a
candidate in the person of Rev Timo
thy Tubbs, late from the Wabash re
gion, walled in from the flesh, the world
and the devil by a high linen collar,
and shaking with the ague, came to fill
the pulpit on the following day, and as
a matter of course became the guest of
Deacon Jones.
At a timely hour the deacon and his
family retired, and it was about mid
night when fancying he heard robbers
in the lower regions of tho house, the
deacon slipped quietly from his bed,
and, without disturbing Mrs. Jones,
went down stairs to reconnoiter.—
Shortly after, the Rev. Tubbs awoke
with a chill, and getting out of his bed
he, too, went down stairs to get a bot
tle of medicine he had left, on the din
ing room mantle, bat in passing along
the hall, he made a mistep and caused
a racket, which awoke Mrs. Jones, who,
finding her husband missing from her
side, drew hasty conclusions, and sprin
ging to her feet, hastened out into the
hall, and looked over the balustrade in
time to see the white feather fluttering
garment of the reverend man on the
way down.
“That’s him—here now !" she said,
in a low voice, and at the sarno time
lifting the tub to the top of tho railing,
and precipitating the icj-cold water on
the unfortunate man below, who, with
an astonished cry, sprang down the
steps into the open arms of Mr. Jones,
on his way back to bed, and who, feel
ing confident of haviDg caught the mid
night invader of his household proceed
ed to administer justice in a full meas*
ure, aud accomplished the same by
means of various strokes, knocks and
kicks upon his squirming captive, and
at length throwing him down, seated
himself upon the prostrate body and
waited for the light he culled Mrs J.
to bring. The good lady, trembling
with fear, and thinking her husband
was being murdered below, lighted a
candle and started with full force down
the stairs, but the water having made
the stairs: slippery, an incautious step
threw her feet from under her and land
ed her, after a rapid transit downward,
on the two men at the foot.
The shock caused Mr. Jones to re
linquish his seat upon the prisoner,
who, S2eing his advantage, sprang to
his feet and rushed towards tho street
door, but by mistake plunged into the
cellar-way, and a thud and a groau told
he had found the bottom.
Then Mr. and Mrs. Jones picked
themselves up, and cautiously peered
into the cellar for ‘heir burglar, and
found, to their infinite horror and
chagrin, their reverend guest upon the
collar.floor, quaking, and speechless
with fear, and his fuot firmly caught
in a steel trap the deacon had set for
rats.
Numerous explanatiuns followed, and
the bruised and frightened parson put
to bed again. He did preach the next
morning, however, and took as his text,
“Give unto such of these a cup o? cold
water,” etc. ; and it was noticed Mr.
and Mrs. Jones became very red and
confused as lie read out.
lie did not accept the call, however,
and Monday morning started back to
the region where newspaper receipts for
somnambulism arc not followed and
where there arc no burglars.— Cincin
nati Times.
A Turkish Dinner.
There is no table cloth, but every
thing is neatly arranged upon the pol=
ished metal. Before each guest is a
piece of ordinary bread—a flap of UQr
leavened dough slightly baked, and
looking like mottled leather —and two
spoons, one of them in box or horn,
and the other, more delicate, in tor.
toise shell, the handle ornamented with
coral or mother-of-pearl. Sometimes
these spoons have a little crooked
branch of coral at the tip to avert the
evil eye. Each person is provided with
a small, ring shaped cake, called “Seui
itt,” some pieces of which arc always
taken before the llamazan dinner, as
well as a small quantity of condiments,
such as caviar, olives, and saltca and
dried mutton, cheese or pickle. At the
table which I am describing these
“hors d’oeuvre” were spread about in
abundance, surrouuding a handsome
silver stand, holding covered cups filled
with cxcel'ent lemonade, of which each
guest partook j and then, the stand be.-
ing removed, a stout Degress deposited
in its place with an air of triumph, a
large tureen filled with a delicate white
soup. The spoons were raised in ex
pectation ; it is 13esme ilauum who
resolutely tucks up his right sleeve
1 above the elbow, and. as mistress of the
ceremonies, is the first to dip into the
tureen, murmuring the customary in’-
vitation “bouyouroun,” at which all
the spoons join company, and after a
few minutes of silence well employed,
the soup is borne away, to make room
for a tuckey stuffed with rice, currants,
fir-nut aud spices, very little is taken
from each dish, as their number and
variety are infinite, but each one is
tasted, and little excursions are made
between whiles among the saucers —a
pinch of salad from one, a preserved
fruit from another, then a morsel torn
as delicately as possible from the centre
dish of fowl, taking iu passing a dip
into the curdled milk or a flavor of
pickle or red pepper ; then back again
to the middle of the table, which ex
hibits probably by this time a mound
of luscious pastry. Vegetables form
an important part of the Turkish euli-
nary system ; you may frequently count
a dozen varieties at the same time, be
sides many herbs and plants of which
we have no knowledge on our western
tables. They use, according to the
season marsh-mallow leaves, cucum
bers, vine leaves, cabbage, or even the
half open bud of the gourd or melon,
to form the “dolmas" stuffed with rice
and chopped meat, which never fail to
make their appearance at repast.
In serving a dinner, it is considered
the right thing to alternate tho sweet
and the savory ; thus our turkey is fol
lowed by “baclawa," a rich pastry com'
posed of flour, butter and pounded al
monds soaked in honey ; after this the
“tchcurek" puff paste filled with
cheese and herbs; a dish of fried fish
yields the place of honor to the “ekru
eddadaiff,” or thin pancakes interlarded
with lumps of clotted cream, and to
this again succeeds a mound of arti
chokes dressed in oil. The “aschourah,”
a sweet porridge, which makes its ap
pearance upon most festive occasions,
deserves a few words of explanation, as
this preparation has a legondary origin.
“Aschourah” is composed of Indian
wheat, barley, wheat, dried raisins, nuts,
almonds, walnuts, pistachio nuts, and
even dry Windsor and haricot beans,
boiled and sweetened ; the greater the
variety and incongruity of the ingredi
ents the better the “aschourah,” for it
is a remembrance, says tho legend, of
Noah’s residence in the ark, “into
which the water must have penetrated
at length, and produced an unexpected
soup among the remnant of his dry
stores.” “Aschourah” is made in great
quantities in all respectable houses dur
ing the first ten days of the month of
Mouharem . the first month of the year)
to be sent about to friends and to bo
liberally distributed to the poor. At
this period, any person presenting
themselves at the door of a “kouak” re
ceives, without question, a bowl of
“aschourah,” in remembrance of the
tragical deaths of Hassan and Ilossein,
grandsons of the prophet. Our repast
was concluded by sherbet accompanying
the pillaff, aid then each guest rose,
with little ceromony, to wash her hands
over the handsome silver basins held by
the attendant s'aves, or at the marble
fountain let into the well of the “sota.”

Music in Hi© Eassiau Army.
There is only one band to each di
vision, and it affords music at intervals,
but the spirits of the men are cheered
on the way by their own songs, in which
they give vent to their enthusiasm with
a good will and melodious expression
which is quite enlivening. At the
head of each battallion are three drum
mers, and in the van are generally a
score or more of good singers. First
one strikes up a solo, whose not un
pleasant air is listened to in silence,
and then the company in unison and
harmony take up the chorus, the drum
mers joining iu, while the refrain swells
along the whole line in a manner which
is emphatically warlike and grand. —
Sometimes where the musical element
is strong and solo singers rare, a soldier
wiih a clarionet plays the solo, then
all the others, with the drums, take up
the chorus. The songs are often very
spirit-stirring, and the heartiness with
which they are rendered tells deeply
the feelings of the men have been stir
red and the spirit in which they are
marching to meet the enemy. This
singing is maintained through the
march, and the effect is as pleasing us
it is inspirating.
A Monkey an tlic Waggagc Car.
A monkey, tied in the baggage car
for safe keeping, was the cause of some
excitement on the train from Fort
Smith to Little Hock, the other day.
During the temporary absence of the
baggage-man, he concluded to amuse
himself by plajing gymnastics over the
baggage.
In one of his vaulting tricks he
brought valises and other light arti
cles tumbling after him to the floor,
which so terrified him that he made a
bound toward the coiling of the car.
The first object in reach was the bell
cord, and that he grasped with vigor,
and resolutely held on to. Of course
the bell commenced to ring, and the en
gineer, ignorant of what was the matter,
and startled at the sudden summons to
shut down, bad the train brought to a
standstill as soon as possible.
The conductor, surprised at the sud
den halt, rushed to the cngineei, and
wanted to kuow why he stopped the
train. The engineer wanted to kuow
what he rung the bell for, as there was
danger neither ahead nor around.
A little inquiry satisfied all parties
where the summons came from. The
engineer begged someone to go on his
engine while he killed the acrobatic
brute, but he was prevailed upon to
desist.
Says a pathetic writer, “Let us gaze
down the dim vista of by-gone years.”
No, young man, don’t do it. You
may see an unpaid washerwoman, with
bare aims, hiding behind a tree and
praying for dire vengeance on your
head. Don’t gaze down the vista.
