An 9nterr5tlng Story.
TIE STORY OF HIS OWN MURDER.
As the Traveller TOld II.
CHAPTER /.

Filling his glass and passing the bottle
to me, the stranger began as follows:
For the last twenty years have been a
traveller. Travelling for the sake of travel
ing is my mouomania. ! am well known,
and may add, respected by nearly every
conductor, steamboat captain, ticket clerk,
hotel-kceper and cabman in the whole coun-
try-North South, East and West. You
asked me if ! had ever met with amy strange
adventures in my peIegrinations, and | an
swered yes, We've the shank of the night
before lis, and TO pass the time ! will tell
YOU the stranGest Of them all, perhaps, If
you like.
II shall be delighted"
Well, then, You'll excuse my plain way
Of telling there goes for the story Of my
own murder

mcnt with a smile, and continued:
Don't ho afraid; I'm not a ghost as
you'll find out before I've done. Some-no
matter how many-years ago was tray.

were about dozen people i'll the car, only
one of whom, however, strange 10 say,

honest and good-heartcd fellow, who picked
up prccarious living by acting very minor
parts in the Western thcaters | knew him

having, 1T the same time, been witness to
his scrupulous honesty under very trying
circumstances.

front of the car, upon which ! had made
myself into a sort of buhdle, with the de-
sign of taking nap. My back was toward

me, alongside of verdant-looking youth
whom | took for the son OF Huoser

When the conductor came to examine the
tickets, ihe young Hoosier, having none

BY GEORGE W. puNGAY

No sin to buy and sell and hold
The negro in his CALLING gives
And pocket the blood .crustcd gold.
The price Of human hearts and hNcS2
NJ sin to steal an African,
And rob him OF each sacred right
Wine from his brow the stamp Of man,
And blot the stars out of his night2
No sin to score his quivcrug back
With the red lash dripping there,
Because his Maker made him black
Thickcucd hi, lips and crisped his hair
No sin To tear his frantic wife
From his outrcaChing arms Of love;
What God has Joined, divorce for life
Though Heaven torbids it from abo,e ?
NJ sin to steal the clmgiug child
From the fond mothers dear embrace,
And leave her broken hearted, wild,
And crazcd To curse her chon race?
God gave the black n living soul,
A conscience and a heart TO feel;
Wrote " Freedom" ON his spirits scroll
And sealed it with His holy seal.
Woe unto him who breaks the chart
Indorscd by Gods uucrriuC hand.
\ curse shall Smitc his cruel heart,
His brow shall wear the slavcr'S brand.
No greater, darker crime than this
Can man commit who steps aside:
Christ in the slave, with lcprous kiss,
Is thus betrayed and cruciiied.
When hoarv priest, with honcved tongue,
Long face and fabricated knees,
Bows low before this hrulcu wrong,
And pratcS like the old Pharisecs,
We look To- see the earth divide,
And falling iir' from Heaven consume
The impiuus babbler in his pride.
And leave no mourners at his tomb.

Douglas lies buried by the solemn shore
OF Michigan the lake he loved So we'll
And its reSowuding waters are his kncll,
And his lament their nCvcr-ccasing roar;
no monumental marble marks the spot,
No stone, engraved with one recording line,
But rude fence around the narrow lot,
Which holds his corSc. whose spirit was divine
Is all that bids the passing traveller pause
Ger one who deemed It glorious to SpcHd
His life in service of his countrv's cause,
And who was firm and faithful to the end.

And every wind that stirs it speaks his name.
