"Yes, I once committed a murder, Outside of the realms of law, That I pose the body of people Would not heed the worth of a straw; But I think I should sleep the sounder, Sometimes when the night winds wall, If I never remembered the 'murder', Or never told over the tale. "No matter the road I was running, In one of the Middle States. So many years since that I wonder Why the sorrow never abates. I was young, and hazy, and savage, As youth is apt to be! And my hand—my hand, you will fancy Was a trifle too rebellious and free. "I was in my caboose just at evening, Say 'tween Holden and Fiddler's Run, Making time to reach Wayman's siding For the up-train, at five twenty-one— I had had a hot box at Grossman's, And that put me four minutes behind; So fell like—the word is ugly, But the truth—like 'going it blind!' "Round the curve, and running—say forty Or it may have been fifty—who knows, And there on the track, before me, A black flend at full scream, arose; A dog that sat down in the middle Between the two lines of rail, It was Christmas eve, and Gooskin, according to his custom, had decorated his gambling hell with sprigs of mountain cedar and a shrub whose crimson berries did not seem a bad imitation of English holly. The piano was covered with evergreens, and all that was wanting to completely fill the cup of Gooskin's contentment was a man to play that piano. "Christmas night and no piano pounder," he said. "This is a nice country for a Christian to live in." Getting a piece of paper, he scrawled the words: $20 Reward To a compliant Planer Player. This he stuck up on the music-rack, and though the inscription glared at the frequenters of the room until midnight, it failed to draw any musician from his shell. So the merry-making went on; the hilarity grew space. Men danced and sang to the music of the squeaky fiddle and worn-out guitar, as the jolly crowd within tried to drown the howling of the storm without. Suddenly they became aware of the presence of a white-haired man, crouching near the fireplace. His garments—such as were left—were wet with melting snow, and he had a half-starved, half-crazed expression. He held his thin, trembling hands toward the fire, and the light of the blazing wood made them almost transparent. He looked about him once in a while, as if in search of something, and his presence cast such a chill over the place that gradually the sound of revelry was hushed, and it seemed that this waif of the storm had brought in with it all of the gloom and coldness of the warring elements. Gooskin, mixing up a cup of egg-nogg, advanced and remarked, cheerily; When the player ceased slunk from him. There was revelry and devilment left in Each man wanted to sneak cabin and write the old Day the day was breaking w man left the place, and th ing his head down on th anleep. "I say, pard," said Gooskin you want a little rest?" "I feel tired," the o perhaps you'll let me remaster of a day or so." He walked behind the back old blankets were lying himself upon them. "I feel pretty sick. I last long. I've got a brood the ravine—his name's don't know I'm here. Can before morning? I'd like face before I die." Gooskin started up at t he name. He knew Driscoll. "He your brother? I here in half an hour." As he dashed out into musician pressed his hand and groaned. Gooskin heard "Hurry!" and sped down Driscoll's cabin. It was quite light in t he two men returned. D rale pale as death. "My God! I hope he wronged him when we lived twenty years ago." They saw the old man b blankets over his face. T moment, awed by the th might be dead. Gooskin lie set and pulled it down astor was no one there. "Gone!" cried Driscoll. "Gone!" echoed Gooski his cash-drawer.

"Round the curve, and running—say forty Or it may have been fifty—who knows, And there on the track, before me, A black fend at fall scream, arose; A dog that sat down in the middle, Between the two lines of rail, And howed, like a field incarnate, With a mixture of bark, yell and wall. "Did I stop? Not much! I just opened The throttles, by a mute, And over that dog we went flying, And over some murders, while! I stepped her then with a shudder, And ran back, in a mangled heap Lay the dog, and what had been lately A baby girl lying asleep! "Have I never got over it? No, sir! And I never shall till I die! Why didn't I need the warning, If it was only a black dog's cry? I may have done many more murders, And 'tis likey I have on the whole! But there's none, when the night winds are howling, That lay such a weight on my soul! "And what is the worst of my sorrow? Don't miss the one grand mistake! I shouldn't grieve twice, I've a fancy, For the poor dead baby's sake! But the dog that was doing his duty E'nobly—I grieve for him; I never tell over the story But I find my old eyes grow dim." THE STRANGE PIANIST. In 1858 there was a little camp about ten miles from Pioche, occupied by upward of about 300 miners, every one of whom might have packed his prospecting implements and left for more inviting fields any time before sunset. When the day was over these men did not rest from their labor, like the honest New England agriculturist, but sang, danced, gambled and shot each other, as the mood seized them. One evening the report spread along the main street (which was the only street) that three men had been killed at Silver Roof, and that the bodies were coming in. Presently a lumbering old conveyance labored up the hill, drawn by a couple of horses well worn out with their pull. The cart contained a good-sized box, and no sooner did its outlines become visible through the glimmer of a stray light here and there than it began to affect the fillers. Death always enforces respect, and even though no one had caught sight of the remains the crowd gradually became subdued, and when the horses came to a stand-still the cart was immediately surrounded. The driver, however, was not in the least impressed with the solemnity of his commission. He began to pry up the lid, got a board off, and then pulled off some old rags. A strip of something dark, like rosewood, presented itself. "Eastern coffins, by thunder!" said several, and the crowd looked quite astonished. Presently the whole of the box-cover was off, and the teamster, clearing away the packing, revealed to the astonished group the top of something which puzzled all alike. Had a dozen dead men been in the garments—such as were left—were wet with melting snow, and he had a half-starved, half-erased expression. He held his thin, trembling hands toward the fire, and the light of the blazing wood made them almost transparent. He looked about him once in a while, as if in search of something, and his presence cast such a chill over the place that gradually the sound of revelry was hushed, and it seemed that this waif of the storm had brought in with all of the gloom and coldness of the warring elements. Goskin, mixing up a cup of egg-nogg, advanced and remarked, cheerily; "Here, stranger, brace up! This is the real stuff." The man drained the cup, smacked his lips and seemed more at home. "Been prospecting, eh? Out in the mountains—caught in the storm? Lively night, this!" "Pretty bad," said the man. "Must feel pretty dry." The man looked at his steaming clothes and laughed, as if Goskin's remark was a sarcasm. "How long out?" "Four days." "Hungry?" The man rose up, and walking over to the lunch counter, fell to work upon some roast bear, devouring it like any wild animal would have done. As meat, and drink, and warmth began to permeate the stranger, he seemed to expand and lighten up. His features lost their pallor, and he grew more and more content with the idea that he was not in the grave. As he underwent these changes, the people about him got merrier and happier, and threw off the temporary feeling of depression which he had laid upon them. "Do you always have your place decorated like this?" he finally asked of Goskin. "This is Christmas eve," was the reply. The stranger was startled. "December twenty-fourth, sure enough." "That's the way I put it up, pard." When I was in England I always kept Christmas. But I had forgotten that this was the night. I've been wandering about the mountains until I've lost track of the feasts of the church." Presently his eye fell upon the piano. "Where's the player?" he asked. Never had any," said Goskin, blushing at the confession. "I used to play when I was young." Goskin almost fainted at the admission. "Stranger, do tackle it, and give us a tune! Nary man in this camp ever had the nerve to wrestle with that music-box." His pulse beat faster, for he feared that the man would refuse. "I'll do best I can," he said. There was no stool, but, seizing a candle-box, he drew it up and seated himself before the instrument. It only required a few seconds for a hush to come over the room. "That old coon is going to give the thing a rattle." The sight of a man at the piano was something so unusual that even the far-dealer, who was about to take in a $50 bet on the tray, paused, and did not re-force the money. Men stopped drinking, with the glasses at their lips. moment, awed by the threat might be dead. Goskin lied and pulled it down astonished was no one there. "Gone!" cried Driscoll, "Gene!" echoed Goskin his cash-drawer. Ten ears in the sack, and then how much loose change in them. The next day the boy lowed a horse's tracks through and lost them in the trail Pioche. There was a man miscamp. It was the three man, who used to deny pohe could play the scale. Found a wig of white hair; mind when the "stranger those locks back when he could play the scale. Found a wig of white hair; mind when the "stranger those locks back when he could play the scale.

A strip of something dark, like treewood, presented itself. "Eastern coffins, by thunder!" said several, and the crowd looked quite astonished. Presently the whole of the box-cover was off, and the teamster, clearing away the packing, revealed to the astonished group the top of something which puzzled all alike. Had a dozen dead men been in the box, their presence in the camp could not have occasioned half the excitement that the arrival of that lovely piano caused. By the next morning it was known that the instrument was to grace a hurdy-gurdy saloon owned by Tom Goskin, the leading gambler in the place. It took nearly a week to get this wonder on its legs, and the owner was the proudest individual in the State. It rose gradually from a recumbent to an upright position, amid a confusion of tongues, after the manner of the Tower of Babel. Of course everybody knew just how much an instrument should be put up. One knew where the "off hind leg" should go, and another was posted on the "front piece." Scores of men came to the place every day to assist, and all took the liveliest interest in it. It was at last in condition for business. "It's been showing its teeth all the week. We'd like to have it spit out something." Alas! there wasn't a man to be found who could play upon the instrument. Goskin began to realize that he had a losing speculation on his hands. He had a fiddler, and a Mexican who thrummed a guitar. A pianist would have made his orchestra complete. One day a three-card monte player told a friend confidentially that he could "knock any amount of music out of a piano, if he only had it alone a few minutes to get his hand in." The report spread about the camp, but on being questioned he vowed that he didn't know a note of music. It was noted, however, as a suspicious circumstance, that he often hung about the instrument, and looked upon it longingly, like a hungry man gloating over a beefsteak in a restaurant window. There was no doubt but that this man had music in his soul, perhaps in his fingers' ends, but did not dare to make a trial of his box." His pulse beat faster, for he feared that the man would refuse. "I'll do the best I can," he said. There was no stool, but, seizing a candle-box, he drew it up and seated himself before the instrument. It only required a few seconds for a hush to come over the room. "The old coon is going to give the thing a rattle." The sight of a man at the piano was something so unusual that even the far-dealer, who was about to take in a $50 bet on the tray, paused, and did not run for the money. Men stopped drinking, with the glasses at their lips. Conversation appeared to have been struck with a sort of paralysis, and cards were no longer shuffled. The old man brushed back his long white locks, looked up to the ceiling, half closed his eyes, and in a mystic sort of reverie passed his fingers over the keys. He touched but a single note, yet the sound thrilled the room. It was the key to his improvisation, and as he wove his chords together the music laid its spell upon every ear and heart. He felt his way along the keys, like a man treading uncertain paths; but he gained confidence as he progressed, and presently bent to his work like a master. The instrument was not in exact tune, but the ears of his audience, through long disuse, did not detect anything radically wrong. They heard a succession of grand chords, a suggestion of paradise, melodies here and there, and it was enough. "See him counter with his left!" said an old rough, enraptured. "He calls the turn every time on the upper end of the board," responded a man with a stack of chips in his hand. The player wandered off into the old ballads they had heard at home. All the sad, and melancholy, and touching songs that came up like dreams of childhood, this unknown player drew from the keys. His hands kneaded their hearts like dough, and squeezed out the tears as from a wet sponge. As the strains flowed one upon the other, they saw their homes of the long ago reared again; they were playing once more where the apple blossoms sank through the soft air to join the violets on the green turf of the old New England States; they saw the glories of the Wisconsin maples and the haze of the Indian summer blending their hues together; they saw the heather of the Scottish hills, the white cliffs of Briton, and heard the sullen roar of the sea, as it beat upon their memories vaguely. Then came all the old Christmas carols. DIRECTORY. STATE OFFICERS. GEORGE C. PERKINS...Governor JOHN MANSFIELD...Lieutenant-Governor DANIEL M. BURNS...Secretary of State DANIEL M.
