when they get very sick they don't

Across Sixth street we strike the bank,
And stop our pencil with a yank,
For those 'ere chaps, the last six weeks,
Have made our happiness come in

Like oysters on a spree, we s'pose.
The head boss here is J no. R. Clark,
With Tommy Evans first ass't cl(e)ark,
While Cushing does the heavy standing
And Wagh oft helps thern when

And sometimes play 3 on a harp about

A nice white housj that's just the

And Dan., hisself, is one of the boys,
About that same, we'll make no noise,
A dirty little dug-out on the corner of
two lots.
Did once contain a long legged Fole,
named Otz.

To name its inmates all, would break

no use; he didn't see it; be Mould n't

he beckoned me to him.
"Amos" says he, in a hoarse whisper,
"I've got to go."
"I guess not this time, colonel," says
I. "Keep up good courage."
"I've got to go," he whispered again.
Then I saw the horror M as on him.
He Milted right down after that.
Well, I won't go ir.to particulars; he

They are few. The Lord says they are

typhus fever. We all calculated he
would pull through. Doctor thought
so. In fact, he did pull through, but
took a relapse. Before that he kept
saying how resigned he Avas to God's
will; he told the minister so everyday,
and the minister Avould pray with him,
and all the folks talked Avhat a Christ-1

had sat up a good deal too long; I told
him so; but visitois came to see him,
and he did not mind what the doctor
said, nor what I said neither Where
avss I ?
''About the relapse ?"
Yes; it took him a little after mid
night. The deacon called me. You
see he Avas so much better he did not
need quite so close Avatching. I Avas
sitting in a chair, in a light doze,
by tlie bed. I sprang up quick.
"Do you Avant anything?" says I.
"Amos," says he, "I don't feel Avell."
His A'oice trembled, and I thought
peahaps he had been dreaming or some
thing. "I guess you are a little nervous,"
says I; "oA'erdone a little. You iiaA'e
slept pretty Avell, haA-en't you?"
"Am op," says the deacon, "send for
Doctor Lynn."
"Why Deacon LeM'is "
"Send right away. Wake up Reuben,
and tell him to make haste."
I started Reuben, and called up Mrs.

she called the girls. Xobody kneAv ex

con kept saying, "I don't feel avcII." I
couldn't do anything. The Avonien got
round the bed and began crying, and
after awhile in caino the doctor. He
was taken aback and no mistake. He
just set eyes on the sick man and said,
"Too many folks in the room." Y.'hen j
they Avent Out, ho bent over and ex
amined him a minute. Says he:
"Deacon Lewis, you are a c:Um-

anything particular requires attending tleJ down stea,, and id attcntion to

Avho Avas very restless just before she
died:
"Don't be afraid, you'll be better
soon.'
That's tho way Ave aiways talk, you
know.
"Oli!" said she; "I nnt not afraid. I
am going Avhere ma is."
Xow, that is what I call faith. 1 tell
you, the children have the advantage.
The Lord says so.
"And women?"
In course, I have not seen women as
i my wife has, but I am almost alwavs
called in when there is a change. As
a general rule they are believers. They

That is about it. They ay ill listen qui
etly to Avhat the minister says, and a
man is restless and asks questions.
There is vo denying it, they are a bet
ter lot than Ave are. I have always
said so.
"Don't yoa meet Avith persons Avho
are not Christians Avho exhibit no fear
on their deathbed?"
Yes but it isn't often. Once in a
Avhile there Avill be a bold, cantanker
ous fellow, Avho sticks it out to the
last, cursing and sAvearing till the
breath leaves his body. Then there is
your philosophy, man, Avho, perhaps,

Folks called him an infidel. I suppose
he Avas, but he Avas a kind, feeling man,
and a good doctor, and very patient in
all his sickness. It M as a pleasure to
take care of him.' He Avas so good and
meek towards the last, I thought he
was getting a hope. One night, Avhen
everything was still, everybody in the
house a-bed, and the doctor M idc awake

something of the sort to hitn.
"Amos," says he, very gently, "if it

"Doctor," says I, for I.could not help
coming right out "doctor, don't you

he, "that Avhen I die it Avill be like

He nodded. My hair rose right up.
I had to catch my.breath.
"Why, Doctor Marks!" says I.
"Amos," says he, ".your Bible tells
you so. The Bible tells 30U a man
dies just as a beast dies."
"But the Lord does not say so, Doc

I will tell you a story ;fbout that.

times. When the old man died he set-
At last Lawyer Jones ' settled this
plan bet ween them. Ho got thorn both
to make a Will, each one leaving eve
rything to the other.
"Xtnr,'! f?ays the law yer, '-try attdj.e
peaeeable, and live as long as you can;
and the one who lives the longest takes
the Avhole."
"Agreed," says Elnathan.
"AgreeM," say h's Vife.
You see Elnathan had an nlct, as his
Avife was so much older, he M ould out
live her sure; and his Avife, knoAving
Elnathan Avas subject to bad spells,
while she was as tough as a knot,
wasn't a bit afraid.
It ran on so ten or a dozen years, till
Avell, it is just three years ago this
Fall they were both taken down M idi
the feA-er. It Avas very bad that season
kind of rpottel fever, the doctors
called it; very cold .Summer, frost
every month, and warms rains and hot
sun in September, I guess you remem
ber it.
Elnathan lay in one room, and his
wife in another. I and my Avife took
care of them. Everybody in town
knew about the Will, and as it was
pretty muck decided that neither of
them could get avcII, folks were talk
ing and laughli'g and guessing Miiich
Avould last the longest, for nobody
oared Avhcther they lived or died.
Elnathan was a dreadful Avicked old
creature. He could curse and swear
M orse than any man I ever heard. His
wife AAas a church-member, but her
scolding, I have heard folks say was
Avor.se than Elnathan's swearing. She
had the minister called in as soon as
she took sick. He came every day to
pray Avith her. When he came the old
man would make me shut the door, so
he couldn't hear, and he Avould go on
awful till the minister Avas gone.
One day, as he Avas going out of the
front door, Elnathan says to me:
"Tell Mr. Bliss I Avant to see him."
I at as half scared to death. for he bad
been cursing worse than usual.
"Tell Mr. Bliss I want to sea him,"
says he again.
I ran after the minister and did the
errafid;
He came right back and Avent in the
room. Says he :
"Mr. Sage, I am glad to find you
want to set your mini cn serious
thing-?."
"Thai's a fact, pardon," ' says the eld
man.
"Do you feel prepared for the great
journey?" said the. minister.
"Parson," says the other, "before we
speak of preparation, I avouM like to
hear Avhere the journey leads to. I
M ill make you a square offer. I Avill
give you half my farm if you will tell
we Avhere I am going to."
" 'Tain't yours to give, El," screamed
a voice from the other room'' 'Tain't
yours to give."
The old man didn't heed the inter
ruption, but kept looking the minister
in the face.
He answered solemnly:
"Mr. Sage, Avhat you ask is known
only to God."
"Then why do you come
sneaking around pretending to be Aviser
than your neighbors, you ?"

Y"ou see, the sloctor kind of hesitated,

at last the doctor said:
"I must not deceive you."

He AVas the minister, and lived next

Says I:
"Mr. Sage, I guess you Avant to out

"What's that to you?" says he.
"If you calculate on outliving her,'
says I, "you had better quit swearing
and exciting yourself."

It is a strange tiling to tell, but he

she ?:iid:

Her mind Avandered after that, and
