~ Near Rugby, Teon., some years ago,
there lived a young man nsmetT Abru-
Inm Dent, a man of fine education, usu
ally kind in disposition, and of so vio
lent a nature when a rained, that be was
known as ‘Ikid’ Dent He was tall snd
handsome, possessing remarkable physi
cal strength nud an activity that made
him a favorite on tlic school-hutse play-
ground. He was wealthy, to which in
fluence he owed his escape from impris
onment, for he had killed a man, ftftd
w-sonly cleared after the best legal tab
ent Lad been employed in HU defense.
A tnong bin companions was a young man
named Louis GuiR, a noble fellow* He
was as brave aa a Ron, intelligent, kind-

His father and mother were dead, bav.

‘Hack folk*.’ One day, at a picnic, the
two frienda engaged in a quarrel,
‘You told me you were not going to
dance with that girl !* exclaimed Dent,

the set and assigned the partners.
*It wouldn't make say difference tv

. ‘If s man tells a be it is letter to ac
knowledge it. 1 hope 1 have not wffead

'Hut you hare. When a man fells a
d—d lie I bold him a eountable for it.'
‘Abe, you are on one ot your sprvea
to-day. Let the matter drop.’
'I am not in any ill humor, and you
u ter n d —a lie when you any an.'
‘Abe, this haa gone far enough.'
'It fthatt go ju»t as far ns l want it. I
meant just what I mid.'
‘Are you in earnest T
'I am ’ v
‘Go awny fhen. Dea't end me a liar
again. If yon do. 111 knock you down.'

a colored nun, owned by Guilt. Us wo*

'Let kirn s'ooc,’ eoally remarked ihrnl,
and the next install' be Ly full length

mouth, and for • time be seemed to be
inse siblc. Recovering suddenly, he
drew a Barlow knife, and as Guiii stooped
over to raise him, he, uttering on oath,
plunged bis knife b'ade Into Guiilsl
breast. Such a stampede followed that
Dent escaped. Guill lay-on flu bosom
of his faithful slave. _
'Buck, I am dying,' be raid. 'It was a
runnier. Buck, are yon lie re ?*
*Yc-, Mars Louis, l‘s beah.'
'If Dent is not hung by Lw, I want
you to kill him.'
'—'Yes, Msrs Louis.'
'But don't Uka advantage of him.
Fight him with a knife. Do you prom
ise?'
•Yes, Mors Louis. 1*11 fellow him ter
de ecud ob dc earth ! I'll—oh, my mats-
ter-is dead!'
The tragedy seat a thrill of horror
through every one. Old men shed tears
when they saw poor Guill lying on the
ground, with bis hands full of gnus,
pulled up with the grasp of death.
Guill was buried hi a little orchard
near the old farm-house. Ruck ddiv-

isters offered their sejvices, but the col
ored mao claimed the.right, end as no
one could doubt the friendship which
existed between master and servant, no
one disputed the right wf the faithful man
to oonderf the ceremonies-
On a Sunday Afternoon whoa the ana
skoDS bright on the apple Hosaoms, when
the blEi’jey flit tod and the 'sapfuckti*
pounded the old black trees, Buck
stood at the head of his master's grave.
Friends and neighbor! gathered aaoend,
and children peeked over the red mound
into the deep cavity, shuddered, and
drew back. For full fire minutes Buck
stood without uttering e word.
'I doen know how ter preach a fu
neral, Lord,' be said, 'but I know yrhat
kit is ter feel de pullin' ob de heart-
strings. Er a smile mu change ter a

death with ss little fear, and may dean-
gel* be ea glad tor see us all ex I knows

Dent fled to Texas, but was brought
Imck, and, by some technicality, acquit
ted. He left Tennessee immediately af-
tor the trial and root no one knew or
cared where. ■ .—
Several weeks ago a tall mat t-tood on
Superior streo', in Cleveland,^Ohio.
His hair was abnori as white as the
snow at his foet. ^His face wore a sad
expression, and his eyes wandered, as

colored man came walking along. Set nig

intently for a moment, approached the

These were expected, of course, but he
was not prepared to bdlieve that any in

prominent gentleman did, ‘if it was pos
sible for a negro to make a living down
