Polygamy Practiced With Impunity Under

"Marriage!" exclaimed the big fellow
to the group of sailors, novelists, liars
and men about town who were swopping
yarns in John Brosnan's resort the other
evening, "marriage! Why, I'll bet a bot
tle of Scotch ale I've been married 10
times' as many times as any gentleman
here." ' -
How, it happened that there was a
man present who had actually buried
four wives. He was drinking with an
undertaker who had heard that his fifth
wife was sickly and had called in on him
to look the matter up. This man took
the bet. To wiri it the fat one must
have been a bridegroom 5ft times, which
was an impossibility.
"Well, what's your score?" the fat one
inquired.
"Five," replied the other proudly.
"Bah, man, you've lost!"
"Do you mean to say that you have
been married 50 times?"
"Have you any regular arrangements
with any ahem any, entomber?" ex'
claimed the undertaker,
"I mean to say," replied the fat man
proudly, "that I have, been married 209
times."
"All different women?"
"Are you a Mormon or a Turkish sul
tan?" -
"I am neither. I'm a freak in a dime

Heaven retaineth our treasures,
Earth the lonely casket keeps ;
And the snow-flakes love to linger
Where our darling mother sleeps.
What is home without our mother ?
'Tis our cottage robbed of flowers,
Where our broken, bleeding hearts
Will spend many lonely hours.
On this earth we'll no more meet thee,
Oh, 'tis hard to bear the smart ;
Yet I saw thee Fast declining,
- And I knew that we must part.
Fragrant flowers still are Dlooming,
But for them no more you'll care ;
In those far off blissful regions
Brighter gems than these you wear.
Yet we culled the choicest flowers
That on earth we loved so well,
Placed a cross upon your bosom
When we took our last farewell.
Gently, quiet, thou art lying,"
In the silent night of death,
And the evening breezes sighing .
O'er thy sweet unending rest.J
Then, fond children, cease your weep

Mother is not dead, but sleeping
Till the last great trump she'll hear.
Fare thee well, the ties must sever,
" That on eartli we formed with thee ;
Fare thee well, but not forever,
Thy loved face we yet-shall see.

Prisclllu Cailwallader's Propliecy.
Priscilla Cadwallader, a Quakeress,
delivered a remarkable prophecy in what
was then known as 'Williams' New
Barn," at; Leesburg, O., on Aug. 22, 1830.
Part of it has already "come to pass."
If the remainder be true to the letter, we
may expect America to be a "negro re
public" or despotism in the near future.
Here is the "prophecy" verbatim:
"And the signs of the times are omi
nous on the subject, and the period is
hastening on wThen as the waters of the
great deep in billowy surges roll together
and the conflicting" elements contend in
wide uproar, so shall the nations roll
one against the Other. And the various
religious sects, in support of their differ
ent views, will clash together for vic
tory, and great will he the devastation.
And this avful commotion, commencing
in foreign lands, will extend to our
shores" and pervade North America.
Then will we see the horsemen pushing
forth to battle and hear the sword clash
ing against sword in deadly conflict and
garments rolled up in blood! And the
sons of many who are now iv. this build
ing will be dragged to the field of battle,
and the bodies of multitudes will welter
in blood, exposed to the eun until the
very birds of the air pick the flesh from
their bones!
"We will riot then "contend with a
brother or a sister about our different
views on religion, but all in common
will seek for safety, but no refuge will
be found except in God. That will bo a

"This is a nice time of night for you

and he dropped his shoes on the floor
with a dull thud.
"Beg your pardon, m' dear," he replied
thickly. 1
"This is a nice time of night indeed
for a husband to be coming home," she
replied, with more emphasis than before.
"You will excuse me, m' dear, if I
differ with you on that point," he said
slowly. "It isn't a nice time for a man

Nashville, Tenn., May 21.
Who is Captain Ryman? I have been
his guest for a day and a night. . His
beautiful home is on the heights.- It
is embowed in shade and sur
rounded by flowers flowers without
and flowers within for at the beau
tiful table I found matrons and maid
ens and' schosl girls, all ready to give
welcome to the stranger the Geor
gia cracker as they call me. It is a
large family, and reminded me of
home,' for as it is in all large families,
there is more freedom, more com
panionship, more talk more music
and more company.
Gaptain Ryman is a waterman. He
runs the line of packets or steam
boats from Nashville to Evansville,
350 miles. There are eight boats
and averages a round trip in a; week
and so there is one to go and one to
come every day. There is nothing
strange or peculiar about that. The
captain's office is near the wharf and
I concluded to visit the outgoing
steamer and see her outfit. Every
thing aboard was lively. I noticed a
sign over , the cabin door and got
ready to thow away my cigar, for I
supposed the sign said so, but.it
didn't. It said "Trust in the Lord
and Do Good." On the inside and
over the same door, it said ; "The
. Heavens Declare the Glory of God,"
and at the lar end of the cabin was
another line ot scripture, and all
about were gentle reminders that "in
Him we live and move and have our
being. "
"Is this a missionary boat," said I.
"Ye.c." said the captain, "ours are
all missionary boats. We have , no
bars nor quick sands, no drinking
pilots or deckhands, no swearing men
white or black, no gambling tables.
We may carry a tough sometimes but
we don't know it and don't throw
anybody overboard. Yes, you may
call them missionary boats il you
choose, for they have converted some
sinners that I know . and have im
proved the morals of boatmen all
along the line."
I learned from others that the cap
tain used to run his boat . like every
body else, and whiskey and cards and
a good deal of swearing were con-
siaerea part 01 tne iurniture, out a
few years ago Sam Jones came along
and in one of his magnetic ser
mons shook the captain all up and
knocked out his props and put him
to thinking. He has a great big heart
ana is luu 01 sympatny lor tne poor
and unfortunate, and so suddenly
''came to himself," as the scriptures
say of the prodigal son, and broke up
his bar and forbade all gambling or
swearing on his boat, and he had all
the scripture put over the doors and
discharged every man who was un
willing to work on the new schedule.
It was hard on him for a while and
hard on his boat, but after a while he
whipped the fight, and then he
bought out some of the other boats
and 'now he controls all the boats
on the river, and there is no liquor or
cuss words on any of them, and it is
said said that this is the only line of
boats in the wide world that is run by
water and a Christian code of moral
ity. You can tell it lrom stem . to
stern, from the pilot to the fireman,
from the waiters to the deck hands.
Everything is sober and everybody
polite and well mannered.
Captain Ryman then began to play
missionary all over the town and
started the great tabernacle move
ment and got help everywhere, and
Sam Jones put in his sledge-hammer
licks and raised $22,000 in one. night,

Of -course I met my old friend
Cunningham here. He pretends to
live here, but really lives everywhere
-every where in the south where he
can find a dollar for the Confederate
Veteran, which he publishes, or for
the Jeff Davis monument fund. He
knows more people, especially more
lonely women, in Tennessee than any
other man and he always has their
sympathy. He is the universal friend
and the great southern patriot. He
travels on free passes from the Poto
mac to the Grande and makes an ac
quaintance on every train and scatters
sample copies of The Veteran. It is
a beautiful monthly, and costs only
50 cents a year, and he is making it
a success. Cunningham will die hap
py if he lives to see the monument

mutual friend say that when Cunning
ham died and went to heaven's gate
he would shake hands with St. Peter
and say, "I'm delighted to meet you,
St. Peter, I knew your mother so well.
She was one of the noblest women in
the world," and he would just walk
right in and inquire for the young
ladies. -
Nashville is, perhaps, the greatest
educational center in the -south. Her
great college and female seminaries
and normal schools and public schools
make a grand system. The popular
lecturers at popular prices ' at the
great tabernacle have become an es
tablished feature of popular educa
tion. That building has already cost
$73,000, and is not finished, but it
will be if Captain Ryman lives a few
years longer. Sam Jones comes here
occasionally and wakes everybody
up, and the people surrender when
ever he comes, for Nashville is his
Mecca, his stronghold, and the en
tire cemmunity are his friends. They
point with pride to his work and say,
"Look at that tabernacle ; look at that
