On, bravely or, young pioneers
With God be not afraid
Weld in the name and strength Of Coz
The spirits trenchant blade!
Cut down--cut up the chappard
OF error and of sin,
And let the MONDAY light Of truth
And righteousness shine in
The poison-tree still stands-the sxs
Is lie ming at its foot
Take up--swing high the shining steel.
And smite it TO the rect
How It's, the woodpeckegs
Have told US long ago.
Now let the woodcuttera came Oh,
And lay the upas low.
If days refuse TO speak, aud years
Their wisdom dare not tell,
Then let the young man speak the Truth
The old man knows too well,
But meekness Join with manlneso,
And this 90 hand in hand
With godliness, for that alone
Which god hath blessed shall an
Be firm and fearless, but be calm
Be humble-so be strong
For oh, it is giant work
To fight with sin and wrong
Be patent-God hath waited long
For faithless fearful man
And man must wait for God, and still
Work out his holy plan.
Then for the right, brave pioneers,
Make straight pathway through
Prove all things sInite the false and hAss,
Hold tastthe good and true.
The hoary head of falsehood sInite--
Smite and be rot afraid;
But let no true things life blood green
Distain thy shining blade CT

voluntary and nnreserved niession of
the murder. of Mrs. ElizabH Cooper, of
which he was recently a5lcted in Balti-

preaching execuSM main y in relation to
the amount of 6ysical suff ring it invol-
YES In prosISct of that event, he has,
however cotessed the murder of Mrs,
Cooper, aseharged. He states that on
the day ofAlrs. Cooper's arrival at Park
ton, he YS1d follow heras she passed down
The lfad towards her home. He had
no weapon ON his person, but as she pas
sed through the secluded spot, near
which her body was found, he stepped
up quickly behind her, having. first pick
cd up a large stone, the same that was
produced incourt, and with this he struck
hera violent blow on the side of the head.
Which felled her senseless to the ground,
and no doubt corpse, for she neither
spoke nor showed any signs of life after
wards, He committed the deed himself
alone; litled the pockets, and carried and
dragged the body to the spot where it
was found and concealed it by pilinp
brush, stones, and fence rails upon it.
After having completed the terrible
and a, revolving tragedy, he returned to
farkton, first passing across the country
into the road above. At Prkton he fell
IN with Paul Kunkel, and there met him
TOR the iivst slime in his life; he remained
and conversed some time with him at Mr..
Crockett's house, and then left him, but
where he went we do not learn. 1t was
during this absence from Mr.. Crockett's
however, that he was recognized as hav-
ing been at Mr.. Hunters house. In the
evening he returned to Parkton and went
up to York with Kunkel He exonerates
kunkel from ali participation in the per-
petration or knowledge of the crime at
the time of its occurrence. He did not
then know KunkeT; had never seen him.
