Where the sweet wailing singers

Alas for those who never sing,
But die with all their music in theml

I Whose song has told their hearts’

Weep for the voiceless, who have

The cross without the crown of

On nameless sorrow's church-yard

AH HEIRESS OF BED DOG.
BY BBET HASTE.
(Copyrighted by Houghton, HUnin & Co., nud
published by arrangement with them.]
The first intimation given of the eccentricity
of the testator was, I think, in the spring of
1854. He was at that time in | osaeaiiioii of a
considerable property, heavily mortgaged to
one friend, and a wife of soino attraction, on
whose affections another friend held an in
cumbering lien. One day it was found that
be had secretly dug, or caused to .« dug, a
deep trap before the front door of Ms dwell
ing, into which a few friends, in the cotirso
of tho evening, casually and familiarly
dropped. This circumstance, slight in itself,
seemed to point to the existence of a certain
humor in the man, which might eventually
get into literature, although his wife’s lover—
a man of quick discernment, whose leg was
broken by the fall—took other views. It was
some weeks later that, while dining with cer
tain other friends of bis wife, ho excused him
self from the table to quietly reappear at the
front window with a three-quarter inch hy
draulic pipe, and a stream of water projected
at the assembled company. An attempt was
made to take public cognizance of this; but a
majority of the citizens of Bed Dog, who
were not at dinner, decided that a man bad a
right to choose his own methods of diverting
his company. Nevertheless, there were some
hints of his insanity; bis wife recalled otbei
acts clearly attributable to dementia; the
crippled lover argued from his own experience
that tho integrity of her limbs could only be
secured by leaving her husband's house; and
the mortgagee, fearing a further damage to
his property, foreclosed. But hero the cause
of all tills anxiety took matters into his own
hands and disappeared.
When we next heard from him he had, in
some mysterious way, been relieved alike of
his wifeond property, and was living aionsat
Rockville, fifty miles away, and editing a
newspaper. But that originality be hod dis
played wlien dealing with the problems of bis
own private life, when applied to politics in
tho columns of Tho Rockville Vanguard was
singularly unsuccessful. An amusing exag
geration, purporting to be tn exact account
of the manner in which the opposing candi
date hail murdered his Chinese laundry .nan,
was, I regret to say, answered only by as
sault and battery- A gratuitous and purely
Imaginative description of a great religious
revival in Calaveras, in which the sheriff of
the county—a notoriously profane skeptic—
was alleged to have baen the chief exhorter,
resulted only in the withdrawal of the county
advertising from the paper. In the midst of
this practical coufusiou he suddenly died.
It was then discovered, as a crowning proof
of his alisurdity, that he had left a will be
queathing his entire effects to a trickle faced
maid servant at tho Rockville hotel. But
that absurdity became serious when it was
also discovered that among these effects were
a thousand shares in the Rising Bun Mining
company, which a day or two after bis de
mise, and while people mcro still laughing at
bis grotesque benefaction, euJi’.rnly sprang
into opulence and celebrity. Three millions
of dollars was roughly estimated as tho value
ot the i date thus wantonly sacrificed. For
it is only fair to state, as a Just tribute to the
enterprise and en
ergy of that young
and thriving settle

shrank from the possibility of having been

Somewhat of this idea was eonvej’ed, I fear
not quite as sentimentally, to Peggy Moffat
herself. The best legal wisdom of Ban Fran
cisco,retained by the widow and relatives,took
occasion, in u private Interview with Peggy,
to point out that she stood in the quasi-crimi
nal attitude of having unlawfully practiced
upon the affections of an insane elderly gentle
man, with a view of gc«ri».„' posseHsion of his
property, and suggested l<* h- r that no vestige
of Her moral char a-•ter would remain after
the trial, if .she persist's! in forcing her claims
to that issue. It is sai l ! hat Peggy, on hear
ing this, stop]iod yadting th< plotr die hail in
her hands, and, twist ng the towel around her
fingers, fixed lier small jiale blue eyes at tha
lawyer.
“And ez that the kind o’ chirpin these crit

“I regret to say, my dear young lady,” re
sponded the lawyer, “that the world is cen
sorious. I must add,” he continued, with en
gaging frankness, “that wo professional law
yers are apt to study the opinion of the
world, and that such will be the* theory of—
our side.”
“Then,” said Peggy stoutly, “e* I allow
I’ve got to go into court to defend my char
acter, I might as well pack in tuem three mil
lions too.”
There is hearsay ertdeneo that Peg added
to this speech a wish and desire to “bust the
crust” of her traducers, and, remarking that
“that was the kind of hairpin” she was, '
closed the conversation with an unfortunate \
accident to the plate tin. 1 nr. u severe contu-
sion on the legal brow of her companion.
But this story, popular in tho barrooms and
gulches, lacked confirmation in higher circles, i
Better authenticated was tho legend related
of un interview with her own lawyer. That
gentleman had pointed out to her tho ml van
tage of being able to show some reasonable ;
cause for tho singular goncm iiy of tho tes
tator.
“Although,” ho continued, “the law does i
not go l*ack of the will for reason or cause for ,
its provisions, it would be u strong point with !
the judge and jury—particularly if tho
theory of insanity were set uji—for us to
show that the act was logical and natural.
Of course you have—I sjieak confidently, |
Miss Moffat—certain ideas of your own why
the late Mr. Byways was so singularly gen- '
erous to you.”
“No, I haven’t,” said Peg decidedly.
“Think again. Had ho not expressed to
you—you understand that this is confidential !
between us, although I protest, my dear young |
lady, that I see no reason why it bhould not |
be made public—bad ho not given utterance ;
to sentiments of a nature consistent with |
some future matrimonial relations?” But
hero Miss Peg’s largo mouth, which had been
slowly relaxing over her irregular teeth,
stopped him.
“If you mean he wanted to marry me— •
No!”
“I see. But were therj any conditions—of j
course you know the law takes no cognizance |
of any not expressed in the will; but still, for ;
tho sake of mere corroboration of the be- j
quest—do you know of any conditions on !
which he gave you the property?”
“Vou mean did be want anything in re- ,
turn I*
“Exactly, my dear young lady.”
Peg*** face on one side turned a deep ma- |
genta color, on the other a lighter cherry, ;
while her noso was purple and her :
forehead an Indian red. To add to the effect ,
of this awkward and discomposing dramatic !
exhibition of embarrassment, she began to |
wipe her hands on her dress, and sat silent
“I understand,” raid the lawyer hastily.
“No matter—tho con lit ions were fulfilled.”
“No!” said Peg nmazedly. “How could
they bo until ho was dead?”
It was the lawyer’* turn to color and grow
embarrassed.
He did say something, and make some
conditions,” continued Peg, with a certain
firmness through her awkwardnex; “but
that’s nobody's business but mine and his'n.
And it’s no call o’ youre or theirs.”
“But, my dear ML* Moffat, if these very
conditions were proofs of his right mint], you
surely would not object to make them known,
if only to enable you to put yourself in a con
dition to carry them out.”
“But,” said Peg cunningly, Vikh > you and
tho court didn’t think ’em mtisfactory?
S’pose you thought ’em queer? Eh?”
With this helpless 1‘niit.it i» i on the part of
tho defense*, the case cain»' to trial. Every
body remembers it—bow for six weeks it wa.3

six weeks tho intellectual and moral and spir

and formal obscurity in tho court, and with
unlettered and independent prejudice by
camp fires and in barrooms. At the end of
that time, when it was logically estnbli.-ucd
that at least nine-tenths of tin population of
Calaveras were harmless lunatics, and every
body else’s reason seemed to totter on its
throne, on exhausted Jury succumbed one day
to tho presence of Peg in the court room. It

meaningly at RockvOlx No mo knew what
passcil between them, but all observed that
one summer day Jack drove down the main j
street of Red Dog in an open buggy, with the
heiress of that town beside him. Jack, albeit
a trifle shaky, held the reins with something
of his old dash; and Mistress Peggy, in an
enormous bonnet, with pearl colored ribbons
a shade darker than her hair, holding in her
short, pink-glovod fingers a bouquet of yellow
roses, absolutely glowed crimson in distressful
gratification over the dashboard. So these
two fared on, out of the busy settlement into
the woods, against the rosy sunset. Possibly
it was not a pretty picture; nevertheless, as
the dim aisles of the solemn pines opened to 1
receive them, miners leaned upon their spades
and mechanics stopped in their toil to look
after them. The critical eye of Red Dog,
perhaps from the sun, perhaps from the fact
that it had itself once been young and dissi
pated, took on a kindly moisture as it g&aed.
Tho moon was high when they returned.
Those who had waited to congratulate Jack
on this near prospect of a favorable change in
his fortunes were chagrined to find that, har
ing seen tho lady safe home, he had himself
departed from Red Dog. Nothing was to be
gleaned from Peg, who, on the next day and
ensuing days, kept the even tenor of her way,
sunk a thousand or two more in unsuccessful {

waistcoat, and looked at her.
“Like ez not tharTl be high water on tho
North Fork, ef this rain keeps on,” said Peg,
as if apologetically, looking toward tho win

The other rain having ceased, Mr. Hamlin
began to unbutton his waistcoat again.
“I wanted to ask yo a favor about Mr.—

hurriedly. “lie’s ailin’ agin, and is mighty
low. And he’s losin’ a heap o’ money here

him out of two thousand dollars last night—
all he had.”
“Well?” said the gambler coldly.
“Well, I thought ez you woz a friend o’
mine, I’d ask ye to let up a little on him,”
said Peg with an affected laugh. “You kin
do it. Don’t let him play with ya”
“Mistress Margaret Moffat,” said Jack with
lazy deliberation, taking off his watch and
beginning to wind it up, “ef you’re that much
stuck after Jack Fol ins bee, you kin keep him
off of we much easier than I kin. You’re a
rich woman. Give him enough money to
break my bank, or break himself for good

Jack, with a hysterical laugh. “Why, blank

roar of laughter that greeted this frank con

Jack, “I just told her to go to with her
money.”—“They say,” continued the quiet
"oice, “tnat you asked her for the loan of

Then the possessor of the quiet voice, Mi

table, took the chalk, and, rubbing tin- end
Of his billiard cue, began with gentlegravitr:
“It was an old friend of mine in Sacramento,

himself, lie leaves things to me. Ho, for the
sake of argument” continued Hamlin, sud
denly laying down bis cno and fixing bis
wicked black eym on the speaker, “say it's

I am afraid that this story, whether truth- ;
ful or not, did not tend to increase Peg’s pop- j
ularity to a community where recklessness j
and generosity condoned for the absence of j
all the other virtues; and it is possible also
that Red Dog was no more free from preju
dice than other more civilized bat equally
disappointed matchmakers. Likewise, dur
ing the following year, she made several more
foolish ventures, and lost heavily. In fact, a
feverish desire to increase her store at almoet
ary risk seemed to poseese her. At lost it
was announced that she intended to reopen

The blood left Fe^’s face as she looked up.
“But that’s ivhy I can’t gWehim the money—
and he won’t marry me without it.”
Mr. Hamlin’s baud dropjKHl from the last
button of his waistcoat “Can’t—^ive—him
—the—moneyr he repeated, slowly.
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because—because I tore him.”
Mr. Hamlin rebut toned hi* waistcoat and
»t down petienlly on tho bed. Peg arose
and awkwardly drew the portmanteau a
little nearer to him.
“When Jim Byway* left me this yor
property,” sbe began, looking cautiously
around, “lie left it to ir.% on conditions; not
conditions ez waz in his written will, but
conditions ez waz spoken. A promise I
made him in this very room, Mr. Hamlin—
this very room, and on that very bed you’re
sittin’ on, in which he died.”
Like most gamblers, Mr. lluiuiin wa* s'upcr-
BtitiouH Uo roao ha ;:?/ from tho bed and
took u chair besido the window. TUe wind
shook it ns if the discontented spirit of Mr.
' Byways wire with cut, re-enforcing his last
injunction.
“I don’t know if you remember him,” said
Peg, feverishly. “He was a man ez hod suf
fered. All that he loved—wife, fammorly,
friends—bad gone back on him. Ho tried to
make light of it afore folks, but with me,
being a poof gal, he let himself out 1 never
told anybody this. I do;i\ know why he told
mc—I don’t know,” continued Peg, with a
i snifihh “why ha wanted to make mo unhappy,
too. But he made me pramiao that, if ho left
me his fortune. I’d never, never—so help ms
God—never rh&re it wi;k any man or woman
that / loWtl. 1 didn't think it would be hard
to keep that promise thou, Mr. Ilamliu, for I
was very poor j.:’, a friend nor a liv-
j ing bein’ that via., kind to me but A/m.”
“ajuc you vo as goo.i tti brokewyour prom-
f Lie* t.‘r. ady.” said ilanih:i. ** You’ve given
| Jack us 1 know.”
i “On v what l unde jnv-t-if. Listen to mo,
j Mr. Lnmlin. WlnuJaek p:\>'a«ed to me, I

make it pay. Don’t laugh at me, please. I
did work hard, and did make it i>ay—without
takin’one cent of the fortin'. And all I
made, workin’ by night ami day, I gave to
him. I did, Mr. Hamlin. I ain’t so hal'd to
him as you think, though I might be kinder,
I know.”
Mr. Hamlin roaic, deliberately resumed bis
coat, watch, but and overcoat. When lie was
completely dro«cd again he turned to Peg.
“Do you mean to say that you’ve been givin’
all the money you made here to this Al first
class cherubimf”
“Yes; but he didn’t know where I got it.
Oh. Mr. Hamlin! he didn’t know that.”
“Do I understand you. that he’s bin buck
ing ngiu faro with tho money that you raised
on hash? And you makiii’ the hash?"
“But lie didn't know that. He wouldn’t
hev took it if I'd told him.”
“No, he'd hev died fust!” naid Mr. Hamlin
gravely. “Why, he’s that sensitive—is Jack
Foitusbee—that it nearly Lids him to take
money even of me. But where does this
angel reside when ho isn’t flghtiu’ the tiger,
and is, so to speak, visible to the naked eye!"
“He—he—stops here,” said Peg, with an
awkward blush.
“I see. Might I ask the number of his
room—or should I bo a—disturbing him in
his meditations?” continued Jack Hamlin,
with grave politeness.
“Oh! then you’ll promise? And you’ll talk
to him, and make him promise!”
| “Of course,” said Hamlin quietly.
“And you’ll remember Le\» sick—very sick!
His room’s No. 44, at the end of the hall. Per
haps Fd bettor go with you?”
“I'll find »V’
“And you won’t be too bard on him ?”
“I’ll be a father to him,” said Hamlin de
murely, as he opened the door and stepped
into tho hall. But he hesitated a moment,
and then turned and gravely held out bis
hand. Peg took it timidly. He did not seem
quite in earnest; ani his black eyes, vainly
questioned, indicated nothing. But he shook
her hand warmly, and the next moment was
gone.
He found tb* room with no difficulty. A
faint cough from within, and a querulous
protest, answered his knock. Mr. Hamlin
intered without further ceremony. A sick
ening smell of drugs, a palpable ilavor of
stale dissipation, and the wasted figure of
Jack Fol insbee, half dressed, extended upon
| the bed, greeted him. Mr. Hamlin was for
an instant startled. There were hollow cir
cles round the sick man’s eyes; there was
, palsy in his trembling limbs; there was disso
lution in his feverish breath.
“What’s up?” he asked huskily and nerv
ously.
“1 am, and I want you to get up too.”
‘*1 can’t, Jack. I’m regularly done up.”
He reached his shaking hand toward a glass
hall filled with suspicious, pungent smelling
liquid; but Mr. Hamlin stayed it.
“Do you want to get back that $2,000 you
lost f ’
“Yes.”
“Well, get up, and marry that woman
down stairs.”
Folinsbeo laughed half hysterically, half
sardonically.
“She won’t give it to me.”
“No; but I will.”
“You!”
“Yes.”
Folinsbee, with an attempt at a reckless
laugh, rose, trembling and with difficulty, to
. his swollen feet Hamlin eyed liim narrow-
1 ly, and then bade him lie down again. “To
morrow will do,” he said, and then”
“If I don’t”
| “If you don’t,” responded Hamlin, “why,
I’ll just wade in and cut you out!”
But on tho morrow Mr. Hamlin was spared
that possible act of disloyalty; for, in the
night, the already hesitating spirit of Mr.
Jack Folinsboe took flight on the wings of
the southeast storm. When or how it hap-
; pened, nobody knew'. Whether this last ex
citement, and the near prospect of matri-
, mony, or whether an overdose of anodyne
I had hastened his end, was never known. I
only know that when they came to awaken
him the next morning the beet that was left
of him—a face still beautiful and
boy like—looked up coldly at the
tearful eyes of Peg Moffat. “It
i serves me right, it’s a judgment,” she said in
a low whisper to Jack Hamlin; “for God
j knew that I’d broken my word, and willed
all my property to him.”
She did not long survive him. Whether
Mr Hamlin ever clothed with action the sug-
| gestion in.iirated in his speech to the lamented
Jack that night is not of record. He was
always her friend, and on her demise became
her executor. But tho bulk of her property
was left to a distant relation of handsome
Jack Folinsbee, and so passed out of the con
trol of Itod Dog forever.

Dignity of Human Nature.
“I do not dream,” said
William E. Channing, “when I
speak of the divine capacities
of human nature. It was a real
page in which I read of patriots
and martyrs—of Fenelon and
Howard, of Hamden and Wash
ington.” The dignity of human
nature should make us all guar
dians of the vivifying spark,
; even if the law of self-preser
vation were not strongly im
planted in everyone’s breast.
This, then, is why, especially in
malarial districts, no American
home should be without a bottle
of Dr. Westmoreland’s Calisaya
Tonic. lu its formula are con
centrated the revealed remedies
that research has discovered to
the student world of medicine.
To the depressed, enervated and
debilitated, and those suffering
from chronic ailments and blood
affections, it is the boon of the
age. It can be had at Dr.
