I of his family. , As . my; new acqtiaintaici pointed out these objects'and others which he thought, I suppose, would interest me, had risen from his seat, and we had strolled leisurely through the church yard. It Was in a corner, and rather in a hollow, that, before an humble mound of green turf, and decked with the pretty: spring flowers, carefully planted in the form of a ; cross, we both, a.' of; one accord, paused. It had not any grave-stone, but only a piece of wood supported by two short uprights. On this were roughly carved aa if done with a pocket-kaife, these two words : ;"lughting Joe." "That, is a strange inscription to put over a man's grave," I saivl ; and then added, "Who and what wa3 lie?' The man seated himself on a stone near by, and waslsilent for a few sec onds. He had set down the little child he had been carrying, and the two little things iattracted by the bright fljwers.. had j found their way to the mound, and; were about to gather them. ' Hero, you musn't touch them flow ers," he said" and, taking a li'iud of each led them away. , " . "Well, mate," he , then went on to say to nie, in reply to my question, ' I don't rightly know who or what he vas. lie was a stranger down here and ne.t.ier nie nor my mates ever heard tell where he came from or who lie was. When this here pit,, Fenton's pit we call it.iwas first worked vve had but few hands hereabouts, and men "a 3 coul 1 work had no call to wait long for a job, and got a gpod wage -as .well. Moat of thq hands were ijtaffordshire, but we never i knowed where Joe came from, and I don't know as we asked, and p'raps heiwotildn't told us if we had. He was quiet and lonely-like, and said bu little that is when he was all right ; but when he'd had a drop to ilrinkj as maybe of a Saturday night, w e he had gotten his wag 8 of all the hands I ever1 saw -to swear, spend his money, wrestle or light, there wasn't one like. Fighting Joe." 'And hence! his name, I buppos'a I asked. "And of course it is the old story again- drink, aquirrel, a fight and a violent djeath ; though I cannot understand, in Ithat case, the evident care that is bestowed on the poor fel low's tomb such as it is." '"No, sir," the man said, gravely,, af ter a moment's; pause; "uot quite all that. A violent death, yes r and such a death as I may pray God wight ne'er happen -to the worst "of us; but it wasn't drink, nbr a quarrel, nor fight with another man, that brosight him to it. It was more the other tray, poor lad more the other way." The roiigh fellow ."beside me said this with !a gciitleness of tone and manner that was sufficiently out ol keeping with his appearance to excite some degree of jcuriosiiy, and I told him I should ltkie to iearu .more of the story. i "Ifs not mnch as such as you might care for." the man replied. , "Here," he said, turningito the little ones who were straying toward the green mound agaid, "you musti not touch them! poaries. thou knows ; go and get some bfthem," and he jerked a imall piece ofcoal he had in his hand jtowards where some daisies a!nd dandelions were "rowing 1 among the ranJi gras. -He worked in!

There ras a lass living- in tl.ese parts then, land Fighting Joe was Htrht fond of her I don't know that Q ho said much to her. but wc could see that he was about as load cf that lass as a bd could well be. I know that, e -t, .1 - iui uiumci n .i.uii i.u.u, uu . . lass and S nuuiu uucu uc ucmccu ucr uuusc . 1 I . I . 1 . .. I. 1 -. ours. It seems that one Sunday, as it might be tlil. Joe had met her and told her bow fond he had been of . . , . ' , her, aud asked her to become his wife " night..- Well, it seems she aul that muo't look for that, for ihe was if. already promised, and was going to be wed that Whitsuntide. When she told Joe this, he said never a word, but grew very white in the. face, and turned quietly away. The next day he had to work by the side of the very man who was promised to the lass be loved. Well, they hail been! to work ' -- --- -- i(- for some time, when Joe's mate, turn ing round to get hold of a -shorter ! pick that was laying near, sees him standing behind him with his I arm raised and the pick in his hand, as if in duutt whether to strike or not, and vrith a look in his eyes as he bad uerer before been known to wear. Tne two men looked at each other for a ... 1 while without speaking, till Joe said, 'God forgive tue V and turned away, and from that lime they Dever worked side by side again. I" don't know how it was, but we used to think Joe kept away on purpose I mean so as not t -t " ( to be in the way to strike the other i one. That would be a matter of throe or four month before the fire." ! V -What fircV" I asked. V j "What fire?" the other repeated in a tone of astonishment. "Tuy, Fen- , , - - - - ton's pit. Did you never hear tell of the fire in Fenton's pit?" 4tNo." I replied ; "you kniw I am a stranger here." "Ah, you must be, I should think," the man said, somewhat roughly, "if you never heard of that." . I He look a small blackened pipe from the pocket of his vest, and filling the bowl in the mechanical manner of one Who pre-o c ipied by ay all-tjir sing thought is going through some latniltar action, for his thoughts were evidently far away, ami the pitman's face, rough and strongly marked as it was, became saddened and almost tender in its expression under their influence. He remained s lent so" long that I at length said : "I should like to hear about that fire if you don't mind telling me." 'Was you ever down in a pit mate?" tie asked. 1 told him no, but often thought I should like to see ona. '.Better stay where yon am, mate," the man answered. "An!" he added. 1 1 .after another pause, "it's strange how we miu'ms people die, but it's strange how we live." "How do you meau?" I asked. "I've worked in the pit j-now for more than tweuty years," he j replied, "but. I never go down hi the cage now that is, since the time I speak on but I think I may be going to my grave. JPhat with the -.rising! of the water, or the fall of the coal- or the choke-damp tbat means death, the lives of such as us ain't worth much; but all these pu'. together aiiii t noth ing to a nit on fire. When the coal is bursting with beat, and ' the " heavy masses of earth f nil down, crushing or laming them that can't get out of the way; when the cry is 'Every man for himself, and God above for us all!' when fainting and struggling. they think for a moment on wife and chil dre:1, and then fall down and tlie ! " h c'.l, that was the sort o I speak of. and all those at a fire work m the pit that day rushed for the lift that miht carry them away from the place where the flames were roaring and rushing with the noise of a great wind. Weil Fighting Joe was the )ast man - j-, - in the lift, as they thought; liut just as they were beginning to mote, the) heard a' loud cry fof help, and they saw that other one, him who had mar ried Joe's sweetheart making for the lift, and begging them for God's sake not to leave him behind..: JKell. I tell you, the lift was overfull then, but Joe sprang from it. M;d seizing bold of -the other one, witty, the help of tho e inside Hauled him in, and 'idt we heard him say was, "Tell her I did it,.-an God bless thee, male!' and then we heard again the roar of the flames, and we never saw J; e alivc agiin." The man sa quietly for a second or two, and though his voice did not fal ter, he a I dell, in a soft tone : "But the next day, wLen tbf fire had burned itself out, I was one of those that went down into the pit. There was a crowd of the miners wives and children standing at the pit moutli. and when we carne np again we laid a body gently on the ground,' arul the men took eff their csps and said ne'er a word, while the , women .cried, and many of them sobbed aloud; it was blackened and burned, and but for where the pitman's jacket' had saved him; it might have been co more than NITMBEE 43 the earth it wit lyiog on. But- as we stooped teoderljr to raise and carry the body away the jacket fell off; and there on tkat part where once? beat a true heart, was a lock of woman's hair. He bad begged it off her. the said, so often, she had hot the heart at last, to refuse hiin, and f7od only knows, matt. j what comfort por Joe might have felt in wearing it for her sake. We -buried him with that little curl lying on Ids breast, and with many a . sob, aDd raauy a 'God bless thee, poor lad !' we lowered him to his rest. We planted them little flowers, and it seemed to me as if thty grew brighter ou bis tomb than any where else." He paused sgaia. and as I stole a look at him, J saw two large ttars rolling slowly down his hard ' face. He was a little embarrassed at ray obs erring them, I think, for he said j "Don't you think worse of me, male, because I'm giving way a bit, b.tl am the man Joe saved." i . V THE 6ALLAGHE R DIVORCE CASE. "1y name is Gallagher," . aaid the stranger, as he entered Col. Brown's law office. "I called to see about a suit Of divorce.". ;;r "Take a seat," said the colonel. in ti e first place," said Mr. Gal lagher, vl want to ask, .can divorce be obtained on the xroud ol general incompatibility?" "I dunno." said the Colonel. I must ascertain the facts." - "itecause. if they can. I want you td begin sixty-eight divorce suits for me to-morrow upon hat ground." ;Sixty eight?" "Let me explain. You soc, about four years ago I wnt to Salt Lake City and I was converted to the Mor mon religion. When i joined, Bishop Grtibb said I ought to marry, aud to I proposed tor six daughters, and we were consolidated at once. Un the following Thursday the .Bishop died He left eleven widows. His execu tors pointed out that I might proba bly assauge their grief and get a firmer grip on the property by taking them out of their lonely condition. So I married them, and also pooled in two sisters of ODe'of them, living Id Idaho, and' a cousin 'of another a cousin who was single and bad a cast in ttetjtr ' "V ' v ; That made twenty. did itf' observed the Colonel. J - "Twenty. Well, then'; the impfes sion, your honor, naturally got around that I was a marrying man, and so the twelve apostles at their -.next roeetipg scaled to me four widows and an old maid that were drifting about the set tlement with no one in' particular to look after them, and as I took the set good-naturedly, why on the following week Bishop Knox got the apostles to pass over to me a job lot of relations including two aunts, one grandmother and' a second cousin, and Bishop O'Toole threw in a step-sister, a mother-in-iaw, and three miscellaneous orphans who were related tonolMdy. So, yeu, see, I was gradually getting quite a little family about me." "I see,"' said the Colonel. , Aud thn, your honor, if any un attached woman would come- along on the emtgrat trains, they were always ordered! to be married to me, so that eventually, in addition to my other wives, ijhad gathered in two Welch women, a Mexican, and an old lady from the Sandwich Islands, three Peruvians, the widow of a Japanese acrobat 1 and a Kicks poo squaw, . I thought the heads of the church a little hard on me, but 1 had to sub mit.". 'I" -. ' "Did you bars a happy house-hold? "I am just coming to that. I can't say that we are all pet fectly congenial, oar taite differ so. The Zfi&hop Grubb delegation, for instance, would watt caramels for breakfast in the morning, when the folks from Vera were deter mined to have clsms. Bishop Knox's detachment would insist or. e'eaniug house at the very time when Bishop O'Toole' s relations wanted to give a party.
