Strange.
In the daily Madison! Journal we find the
following most curious account. Our readers
will easily recall the story relative to WALT.
ERs, the rape and the murder; for the sake of
humanity we hope the confession as to non.
rape and no intention to murder. is true:
The State Prison commissioner, Hon. Henry
Cordier, who is in town to-day, has laid before
the Governor q curious chapter in criminal
life
1t seems there is in the state prison man
named Walters, convicted Of the violation and
murder of n young negro girl ut Prairie du
Chen In 1864, and sentenced to Imprisonment
for life. A few months since man named
Lishthizer, convicted Of burglary and sentenc-
ed to fourteen months imprisonment. was re-.
ceived in the prison. Last week he sent for
the commissioner, aud made confession de.
claring that Walters was innocent, and
that himself and a man named Atwood are
guilty OF the murder OF the girl. Walters has
always vehemently asserted his innocence and
quite plausib!y explained away the suspicious
circumstances urged against him.
The story of Lighthizer is entirely consist.
ent with that Of Walters. He says that he
and Atwood were in Prairie du CHEN at that
time, for the purpose of enlisting and obtain.
ing high bounty; that they found the negro
girl near the marsh where her body was dis
covered; that they had been drinking, and
made her drink whisky until she was drunk,
when they pushed her into the water, where
she was drowned. lie denies that the girl was
violated. or that there was any purpose Of muir
derng her. Mr.. Coraicr told him the conse
quences Of this confession night be to lead to
his prosecution for murder and his imprison.
ment for life; but he persisted in the truth of
his story and the innocence Of Walters.
Mr.. Cordier is inclined to the belief that
this confession is in the main true, though he
does not urge any immediate official action in
the case.

TAKE COURAGE.
BIT DRIED ROWLAND,

1wo silent hands of waxen hue,
Two snowy lids DER eyes of blue,
Two feet that stormy paths have trod,
One weary spirit gone to COP.
Oh, toilsome life! with grief oppressed,
Darkness and doubt and vague unrest,
| That tortured soul land hath found
Where Angels pity and love abound.
We oft have prayed for just such sleep
Such folded hands and noiseless feet
Shutting from out the o'er-taxed brain,
The dreams Of dread despair and pain,
And We have asked-too oft we fear,
Little dreaming the shado,o SO near
Wchave staggered at times our burdens beneath
Crying for Death to give relief
we saw not that pain, with its sere and blight.
Plamed the sanl Ear higher fight
IN the realms of Thought-in the wisdom home
Where none but the furnacetried can come
Dut knowing this We no longer ask
To let the "cup pass" or the heavy task,
No more praying for death to come
To gather us to our unmade home,
Seeing that wrong and crime and doubt
Need working hands to wipe them out.
Then toll on, friend, mid the din and strife,
From the cool of morn to the eve life;
Aid weaker travellers up the way
To the opening dawn. of longer day.
Faint not-tho' life is by love unblest-
'Tis ever wearicst nearest resG
The brightest days the sun stines-o
Are oft the darkest before their dawn.

Amending the Constitution.

There is certain class of mechanics who
never make new article, but confne their
energies to patching decayed ones. The cob
bier repairs boots and shoes, and intineran,
gentlemen go around Offering their services in
oehalf OF fractured tin ware and diiapidated
umbrellas. Congress seems to have taken up
the cobbing business exclusively, and plies its
solder in repairing the constitution as diligcnt.
ly as the aforesaid artists ply their skill to
leaky teapots and perforated saucepans. The
latest piece of patchwork is proposed amend.
ment to exclude from office all who ever par
ticipated in the rebellion, for the rest of their
natural lives. There could not be much oh.
lection to this in practical point of view, for
the loyal men of the south ought to and will
have the upper hand for long time to conc.
But why cmbody 1t in the constitution? Every
year there will be fewer Of the ex rebels to
seek office, and more of the young men now
coming to manhood. The constitution ought
to be something permanent, and deal with gen.
erai principles Hot in prescribing penalties
against individuals for rebellion or larceny, or
assault and battery. There never was spirit
OF such chldishness displayed in public BODY
as that exhibited by congress. if anybody
does or says anything dlsagreeable to any Of
the radicals Of that body, they Immediately set
to work to punish him by AN amendment to
the constitution. When the President gave
them his Washington's Birthday speech, Wade
instantly proposed to render him inellig BILE for
re- election by amending the constitution to
that effect Now to keep up the war on the
the President they propose to never al
ow anybody to hold Office who has at any
lime been identified with the rebellion, though
lis repentance may be as sincere as that of the
Apostle Peter when his conscience was touched
With the cackle of the rooster. Mr. Beecher
packed up the Presidents speech, and we have
been waiting ever since to see an amendment
o the constitution proposed to prohibit the
ale OF pews at auction, and to prevent a par.
ons salary from exceeding a certain sum per

'revails the constitution will be as variable in |
ashton and texture as lady's bonnet, or the |
mt of il fashionable skirt. Better for them to |
make as many laws as they please, for such

WORDS OF COMFORT.

WORDS OF COMFORT.
by KATE AULD DRuMMoND.
Mourner lift thy downcast eyes;
See, the sun around you glows;
Gladness in the future lies.
Life is not all tears and woes
Griefs. severe as thou hast met
Visit each one here below,
But the sun is shining yet,
Tho we only sorrow know.
One you loved as dear as life
Breathed his last, but he was true
To his wcll-beloved wife,
This should comfort you,
o, to know that one who scared
Far abnve the airy sea,
Oft hath prayerlnl sentence poured
At the Throne of Grace for thee!
Let your fancies soar beyond
Where you laid him in the tomb.
See! in Heaven the loved hath found
Rest; O. think not of the gloom
That now shrouds his narrow home,
For his soul hath winged its way
Where Deaths summons ne'er may come;
Living there in endless day!
Then what cause hast thou for tears,
Does the loss thou hast withstood-
Thoughts Of coming lonely years
Now invite the crystal flood!
Does the dreamy, darkened hearth,
Or the empty old armchair
Speak Of one now gone from earth
To land more bright and fair,
Mourper, let your grief be joy
That the soul hath scared above
Where the strains of praise employ
Every tongue to sing the love
OF a meek and suffering One
Who on Calvary's mountain died;
He to ope the gates hath gone
Mourner, dry that crystal tide.
