LIBERTY, MI, July 20, 1889.

Horror, laying his head upon an inver
ted urn, he forgot his miscries for q
while in sleep; and found, on his Ainty
couch, more ease than beds Of down
can supply to the guilty.
As he continued here, about mid.
night, two robbers came to make this
their retreat; but happening to disa-
gree about the division of their plum
der, one ofthem stabbed the other to
the heart, and left him weltering in
blood at the entrance. In these cir
cumstances he was found next morn
ing, dead, at the mouth of the vault.
This naturally inducing a further en-
quiry, an alarm was spread; the cave
was examined; and Alexander being
found, was Immediately apprehended,
and accused of robbery and murder.
The circumstances agaist him were
strong, and the wretchedness of his APP
pearance confirmed suspicion Misfor-
tune and he were now so long ac-
quainted, that he at last became re-
CARELESS oflife. He detested a world
where he had found only ingratitude,
falsehood, and cruelty; he was deter
mined to make no defence and thus,
lowering with resolution, he was drag
ged bound with cords, before the tribu-
nal of Septimius. As the proofs were
positive against him, and he offered
nothing in his own vindication, the
judge was proceeding to doom him to
the most cruel and iguominious death,
when the attention Of the multitude
was soon divided by another object.
The robber, who had been really gull
ty, was apprchended selling his plum
der, and struck with panic, had con
fessed his crime. He was brought
bound to the same tribunal, andacquit.
ted every other person Of any partner
ship in his guilt: Alcander's innocence
ness Of his conduct remained a wonder
to the surrounding multitude; but their
establishment was still further incrca-
sed, when they saw theil Judge start
from his tribunal to embrace the sup
posed criminal, Septimius recollccted
his friend and former benefactor, and
hung upon his neck with tears Of pity
and ofioy. Need the sequel be rela-
ted! Alexander was acquitted; shared
the friendship and honours of the prin-
cipaI citizens of Rome; lived afterwards
in happiness and case; and left it to be
engraved on his tomb. That no cir
cumstances are SO desperate, which
Providence may not relieve.

wish he would publish six more just

our sincerity should be doubted we
will suggest further that the friends of

Courier fair compensation for the

Wife. who in thy deep devotion
Puttest up . prayer for one
Sailing on the stormy ocean
Hope no more-his course Is dones
Dream not, when upon they pillow,
That he slumbers BY the side;
For his coarse, beneath the billow,
Heayeth with the restless tide.
Children, who, as sweet as flowers growing
Laugh amid the sorrowing rains
Know ye not that clouds are throwing
Shadows on your sire,s remains2
Where the hoarse gray surge is rolling,
With mountains motion on,
Dream ye that It's voice is toilings
For your father lost and gone9
When the sun looked on the water,
As q hero on his grave
Tinging with tho hue of slaughter
Every and leaping wave
Under the majestic ocean,
Where the giant currents rolled
Slept thy sire, without emotion,
Sweetly by beam of gold.
And the violet sumbeams stented,
Wnvering through the crystal deep
IT'LL their wonted splendors haunted
Those shut eyelids in their sleep;
Sands like crumbled silver cleaning,
Sparkled in his raven hair
But the sleep that knows no dreaming,
Bound him in its silence there.

The rights of editors and publishers of papen
have been too long neglected. Jnstice will neve
be done unless themselves assert their rights
and enforce the most rigid rules, which in the
end will be found alike salutaryfo the public anc
beneficial to those engaged in the press. Pub
fishers of papers have been so long imposed upon

cred to some extent q degraded class of beings,
when in fact there is vocation in life SO honor
able, deserving of so high consideration, produce
tive of so much good, class that exerts so power
ful an influence. 1t is known to be proverbial for
the debtors to newspaper publishers to consider
their demands as the last to be paid--debts to
which there is attached no moral obligation, and
which they can refuse to pay with justice and
honor: hence, il is incumbent upon the conduc-
tors of the press to assert their own rights, and
resolve, severaiy and jointly, to bring all patrons
of newspapers under the same obligations that at
Sach to other contracts, or always remain IN pow
rerty and want, with thousands due them from the
most solvent men in the country.
