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 graves on the edge of the horizon where the night was creeping up. What are you doing—kicking the old clock all to pieces ? exclaimed the wife. “Blamed if I’m going to have anything around me that strikes ! M yell ed the man, as he gave it a final lilt in to the street.— Chicago Journal. A little girl, where a minister had been invited to dinner, was privately placed on her good behavior. Finding a lull in the conversation at the table, Bne folded her hands and said : “Oh, please pass the butter.’ ’ Cnlljoun (times. 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. lie l>iln’t Stay. 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.” —London Society. 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. Messrs.
