are there. They find oxen, mules,
horses, wagons, but no money.
They threaten to shoot the old man, il
he will not reveal its hiding place.
"rch got no money" is all they can
extort from him.
Hark the report Of firearms falls
painfully upon the ear.
An old man lies wounded, bleeding,
dying. near the door of his own house
His warm blood flows freely, cools and
congeals upon the ground. Cruce is nc

Turn we away from the insane and saw

this.
Let us visit the pleasant little hamlet
of La Rue. The proprietor is wealt by

name met 1sfe a>hospitable reception
many months ago. He kno ws that here
are to be found slaves and horses. He
is here with his sm all command, yet it is
large enough; there is no fighting, and
the gray old philanthropist and his fol-
lowers decamp with eleven negroes
and five horses, and various other items
too tedious to mention.
Three men are travelling in the Terri
tory they stop and enter that small cab
in. The lady in the cabin is alone. The
men want food, and she is preparing tc
supply their wants. Her husband now
enters, and engages in conversation with
his guests.
They talk and laugh over the robbery
and murder of the German Cruce.
"The fact is, we did not mean to kill
the old miser, but he would not tell Il:
where his money was, and we thought
we would scare bin. We meant only tc
wound him, but We shot him dead"
There goes negro, with four fine
horses. He crosses the line into the State
and now he comes into the presence o.
his master.

Thoughts Of Home.
BY NAHLoN oLIPHAST.

While evenings shadowy twilight fingers
Der the towering mountains crest.
And night, with soft and dewy fingers.
Is gently soothing all to rest
And springs bright flowers are noddiDg round
me,
And gentIest breezes fan my brow,
Whose low, sweet melodies have bound me
In rapturing thought ason they flow;
When night birds raise their hymns Of glad
ness.
Or fold their wings in sweet repose,
Der my lone spirit comes fsdness,
The silent tear unbidden flows.
For fading Joys like withered blossoms.
Are streBn along the solemn past,
Our early friends. our cherished pleasures.
From our lone pathway all are cast.
Ny childhood home; far brighter. fairer.
Than boundless wealth or fame could be.
Its homely JOYS, its rest, were dearer
Than all this glittering world to me.
A fathers voice could always tighten
The trials of life's thorny way.

Our troubled skies with loves pure ray.
Around that holy altar lingering.
That mothers voice is whispering yet,
Her smiles. her tears. her earnest blessings,
Her words Of love I'll ne'er forget.
With little brothers oft I've wandered
By the dancing stresmlet's side,
With happy sisters culled the flowers.
Sweet blooming there in queenly pride.
But far from thee, sweet home, I've wandered;
That happy band is severed wide;
Its pleasant freside lights the stranger,
And all is gone we then did pride.
0urmother's form in death is sleeping,
The willow tree above her weeps, ~
Sweet blooming flowers around are kee-,,ne

But pure bliss ye can .estore us,
Beneath hopes brightly beaming star.

IN that bright sphere is JOY forever,

CHAPTER TX.

Night has once more put on bis crown
ofimperishable brilliants, gathered around
him his dark, intangible drapery, and sat
down upon his throne. Voiceless, dark,
impressive, mysterious night; remorse-
lessly vailing from our eyes the beauty
tissued lineamenis of the earth, and then
gently leading our contemplations upward

which sparkles and glows with such
sublime magnifcence around his head
But we must, for the present, come down
from our celestial and sublime con-
temptations and grope our way along in
the darkness to that cabin yonder upon
the bluff.
There are several gentlemen present,
but the hour is late and they have
retired for the night. There is feeble
radiance emitted by the fading embers in
the fireplace, and it is probable that the
inmates are asleep, for there is profound
silence. Hark there are sounds as il
footmen and horsemen were stealthily
approaching the cabin. A rough yoics
calls:
Captain Corvus, we have a writ, and
have come to arrest you. Come out o.
the cabin"
"Wait a little," is the reply. Th,
startled inmates spring from their couche
and seize their firearms. The Captain
crawls to the fireplace and throws cover

shall be no light in the room. Now h,

THE STEAMER GREAT EAsTERN-At meet NO
of the shareholders Of the Great Eastern STEAMSHIP
Company held in London OH the 2Otl ultimo, the
ipal debate was In regard to IL e offer made
by Mr.. Lever, Of the Galway line Of steamers.
Some time ago this gentleman oGertd to hire for
twenty thousand pounds the mammoth steamer
for one trip across the Atlantic and back to Eng
land. This offer was declined, but Mr. Lever has
since intimated his willingness to give hundred
and twenty-five thousand dollars MANY Of the
shareholders were DESTROYS Of accepting his prop-
ostions but others deemed that the dignity Of the
company required that they should dispatch the
steamer themselves without hiring Il out to q
speculator. 1t is also proposed to issue thirty
thousand additional shares in the stock, which, il
is thought, will be speedily taken up, and thus
give the company funds to send the 6 reat Eastern
fully equipped on her first voyage. There is yea
possibility that Mr.. Levers propositions will lie
acceded to- especially he has limited that if re-
fused, he will run weekly steamers at cheap rates
in order to carry the bulk Of the autumn trade Ii
Is of course impossib BILE to estimate the number or
passengers that the Great Eastern will on her first
trip, bring to our shores, but doubtless they will
be fewer than generally expected. As yet she is
IN experiment, and the majority of people would
prefer waiting for the success of this experiment,
before patronizng the vessel The insurance CONF
panies decline insuring the steamer, except on
terms too exhorbitant to admit of an arrangement
