AiiJ the waters below look dark mui
Where the rugged pine, ia its lonely
nritle.
Liians gloomily over the murky tide;
here the reeds and rushes are lung and
rank,
And the weeds grow thick ou the wiud
& ing bank;
Where the sliadow is Lcavy tho whole
day through,
There le i3 moorings the old onnoe.
fLike a sea-bird's wings that the storm
has lopped,
And crossed ou the railing, one o'tr one,
Like the folded hands when the work is
dou&
While busily back and forth between
The spider stretches his silvery screen,
And the solemn owl with h s dull "'too
hoo," Settles down on the side of the old onnoe.
The stern half sunk in the slimy wave,
Rota slowly away in its living grave,
And the green moss cretps o'er its dull
decay,
Hiding its moldering dust away; '
Like the hand that plants o'er the tomb
a riot er,
Or the ivy that mantles the f ding tower;
While many a blossom of loveliest hue
S? rings p o'er the stern of theold canoe.

: "Not m-m-nmch," said a stutter
ing man as he worked at un
tangling a fish lino, while a boy
brought in a, tomato can full of
'angle worms. "If I know m-m-my
i own heart, I don't go to no
k-k-camp meeting where they
b-b-baptisa I nt-t-t-tended a ba p
tizing scrape once, and my cloilTes
liave not got d-d-d-dry yet"
"What was the matter," said a
drummer for an egg-factory.
"Didn't fall in the water, did you?"
"N-n-no," said the s'.utterer, as
lie stuffed a wad of paper down on
top of the angle worms to keep
tliein from crawling out, "I didn't
f-f-f-full in, but 1 got in all the
s-s-s-same. I was sinf-sna-snatched
IS! flf you won't t-t-tell any one,
will tell you about it.
"Well, about twenty yours ago 1
was1 ptliting a p-p-paper nt Pottys
ville, and there was a revival in the
town alljvinter, and in tho spring
they advertised to b-b-b-f aptise gll
ot te k-k-converts EverybodjO
went, and I w-w-went down to the
k-k-creek to see them s-s-s-.eoak.
They had a presiding Eldv:", a
stranger to me, to d-d-do the bap
tizing, nnd when they had dipped
a f-f-few, I noticed the elder acted
s-s-s-sort of tired when he pushed
the last woman ashore, and I
tli-tli-thought he wanted to come
out of the w-water, so I reached
out my h-h-hand to help him up
the b-b-bank. Do you know, he
thought I was a k-k-k-andidate for
(M)nptisin, aim no uxjk huui 01 my
iuind aud was p-p-p-pulling me in,
when I said 'Elder, don't p-p-p '
and before I could say any m-m-more
1 said, 'Have no f-f-foar, my
youngk-k-k-christian friend,' and
he put his arm around me. and was
pulling me right in. I wasn't as
st-st-strong as I am now, and he
liu,l a fr-r?-rrin like a prize fighter,
and before 1 knew what he was
about, he was saying, 'I b-b-baptise
thee in the name of the Father,
Son, and Holy U-g-hosV and I was
?s uenk as a k-k-cat i triend to
atret?away troni 111111123 tned to
explain that I wasn tjhe feller, and
. . 1 , T I 1 -. - 1 L
that l nau n-n-never oceu conven
ed, but tie natural pious look on
my face b-b-betrtjyed me, and I
stuttered so I couldn't get in a
word in time, and he put me under.
As I went down I could see the
yowd ou the b-b-bank laughing,
because they all knew I was b-b-hiul,
and that it it was a mistake of
the strange preacher. I came up
t-trangling, and the first thijjg i
said was, 'Elder, you have made
the d-d-darndest mistake of vour
life,' and I went out on the bank
find shook myself. You may talk
nbout m-in-ministers not iokine:,
but by gracious, I shall a-a-always
think that Presiding Elder knew I
was no k-k-christian. It was a pic
nic for the crowd, and they laugh
fit me to this day. No, gentlemen,
l k-k-can t go to the camp meeting,
for I shouldn't feel s-s-safe there,"
nnd the stuttering man took his
fish K)le nnd angle worms and
w ent down towards the pond, while
the traveling men went to the camp
meeting.

nesses that anbet their sheep, cat
tle and sometimes horses. If the
poison lily is at hand, the mischief
is generally very properly laid to
the account of that rogue secreted
in the meadows. But if in wooded
regions where the mountain
streams seldom have meadow lands
bordering them, the mischief is
often charged to a certain laurel
shrub called "sheep poison," or
"calico bush." Ami while this
charge is often correct, yet it is
most frequently an error, the cul
prit being a very innocent and in
deed very handsome flower grow
ing along the streams, and known
as California monkshood, or gener
ally "blue-weed." Animals affected
by this monkshood stagger and
reel about, lie down and rise again
frequently, turn about uneasily,
113 at thei-u sides and crinennd
groan as inn great iin. NotiiiA!
irequenuy lingering sicKness, loss
of appetite, anil death ensue. Any
good puijggtie medicine, if admin
istered at once, will afford relief, as
the distress is caused by the acid,
biting principle, called aconite,
which resides in every partaof the
plant mentioned. The instinct of
animals generally protects them
against poisonous plants, but often
want of other food tempts them to
eat, and sometimes their taste has
been perverted so as not to consti
tute a criterion. Sheep are most
commonly affected by eating
monkshood, and this results from
confinement upon limited ranges
for fear of the coyote; or mayhap
from hurrying them over high
pas.-ses where thei-e is little food,
and that little is strange to the an
imals. But often a band of milch
cows are halted for the night on a
green spot of meadow, the owner
thinking himself fortunate in find
ina bo rich a lunching cvound.
The treacherous blue-weed is de
voured with the succulent grass
nnd sickness or death follows.
Frequently horsemen picket their
x i i j i ii i i
ftml W0J1(ler goon Jter what
immais 10 me aiders oy stream
ails their beasts. If the animal is
very hungry and the feed very
scares, or the packet-line short, the
mischief is the sooner done. Now,
the plant that produces all this
trouble is a species of aconituni,
the only one of that poison genus
found on this const It is an herb,
often growing from three to six
feet high, with larga, nearly
arbicular leaves, cleft into three to
five lobes, and mostly at the base
of the stem. The latter is erect,
unbranched and terminating in a
loose raceme or spike d? large
showy blue or whitish flowers, the
uppermost of its five sepals biug
arched like the cowl of a priest,
suggesting the popular name of
monkshood. The species of nionks
IkkmI which is so celebrated a 4 a
medicine is Aconitum Napellus,
indigenous to Europe, but often
met with iu our gardenv lnre it
finds n welcome because of its
large, curious flowers and long time
of blooming.
A Mexican's house is a close cor
tioration, nnd-no one save a friend
of the family is allowed to cross
its portals. The ladies, especially
the young girls, are as closely
guarded as if they were prisoners.
The windows of everhouse (when
the house has windows ), are forti
fied with bars. Those who can
afford it have iron bars, and those
who can't afford them use wooden
ones. Behind these bars the ladies
of the family can be seen at any
time. They eagerly stare at every
person passing along the street,
flash their black eyes, and icre
ready for a mild flirtation. The
young lrtdiesof the family never
leave the house without a chaperon,
Sometimes this is earned to the
height of absurdity. I have seen
a married woman, ngetl 16, chap
eroning a brace of young girls,
both of whom were older and more
experienced than herself. In the
evening nearly all the young peo-
ole turn out to parattff in the plaza.
The girls walk in bunches, aud are
always under the guidance of their
mothers or some married female
relative. The young men walk in
bunches also, the latter walking in
one direction while the girls go in
the other. Of course they pass
other at everv round, and
iheir flashes of recognition pass
Hmt no other visible demonstration
is matte save with the eyes..

' Old Cerro Oordo Williams,'
says a writer in the Philadelphia
limes, is the liiindsoinest man of
his years in Kentucky. He is six
feet two inches, with grizzled iron
mustache and curled wig, piercing
gray eyes, the frntjof aVN
nnd a voice of fine melodious jng.
He is as vain as a peacock.SMiJ
won bis title by gallantry before
the wftlls of Oerro Oordo, n cap- -mmm
tain in Scott's army, and he has S
maintained his fame for prowess by
many personal encounters since, in
all of which he handled himself
well. He affects the quality divine
to jaoliticians of an infallible
memory for names and faces njul
is not above the crude arts of demo
agogue. One evening, while he
was dining with some friends, in
an upper room at the town hotel,
one of his admirers stumbled
across 'Buck' Combs, who had
been bugler in Williams' regiment
during the war. They had not
met since. Coms cot his burrle.
and' accompanied by an immense
crowd, went down to serenade lfis
old commander with war melodies!
Standing under his window, lie
lifted up the i?ld regimental call
'to boot anil hhddUV cHe repcStdh
itg oiio nnd again. 'Tom,' said
II' "11 . I'll,!
unams to his host, where is
thai stage starting to this time of
night. 'and what is the driver
tootin so d d much about?'
'Why, Senator,' explained his
friend) regretfully, 'tlvjt's Kuck
Combs, your old bugler, serenad
ing you. l told em you would re
member him and his Ijjugle, nnd
they want a speech.' The old gen
tleman stepped out of the window
on the balcony, and littinc his
voice, ns silence fell on the
crowd, began: 'That bugle-call,'
he said with a choking voice,
'that bugle-call, my friends, is like
a dear echo of memory. If I had
heard it in the untrodden wilds of
a s pathless vyilderpeBS, I would
have known that old Jiucfc Comt)8
was winding its sweet note.. Often
has it called the old corninnnd to O
fields of carnage and the tlS'ilfJ of
victory, f Cheers. 1 There is but o
one bugler in the world -yio could
evoke these sweet notes, and that
is old Buck Combs, of the old 0th
Kentucky. Cheers. I knew it
the instant I heard it.' "
