one honest John Hopkins, hedger and ditchcr,
Although he was poor, did not wish to be richer
For all thess vain wishes to him were prevented,
By the fortunate habit Of being con;cn,cd.
Though cold WAS The weather, dear was the food,
John never wa. found in murmuring mood;
For this he WAS constantly heard TO declare:
What he could not prevent he would cheerfuily
bear.
@For, why should I grumblc and murmur?' he
said,
If canuo. get meat, I'll be thankful for bread
And though frstting may make my calamities
deeper,
It never can cause bread and cheese TO be cheaper
If John was afflicted with sickness or pain,
lie wished himself better, but did not complain,
Nor lie down 20 fret in despondeace and SORROW.
Bu. said that he hoped to be better tomorrow.
IF any one wrongcd hi:n or treated him i'll,
Why John was good and sensible still;
For he said, that revenging the injury done
Would be making two rosues where there need ct
but one.

on the younger brother seemed TO resent
with interest and intensity his brother :
animosity, until finally it resulted in an
attack upon the younger brother by the
elder about the LIST instant, on the occa.
sion of his visiting the residence of the
elder brother It appears the younger
brother was terribly maltreated, being
cut and badly bruised
The younger BROTHER, il seems, then
sent the oloer word to arm himself; that
he intended to kill him on sight The
neighbors and friends Of the two men
then interfered, and used every possible
effort to stop the feud and reconcile
them, but IL was TO no purpose.
The two men went heavily armed on
all occasions, and finally met on the high
way near the residence Of the elder, on
the day named above, and Immediately
commenced firing at each other, and at
the same time approaching. They
emptied two revolvers each, and then
clinched and beat each other in horri-
Bile manner with the butts Of their pis-
tolls and continued in this horrible work
until they fell apart from sheer exhaus-
ton.
When found by some men who hap
pened along the road, the elder brother
was stiff and dead, and the youngest hor-
ribly wounded and trying to drag him
self away from the bloody and fatal spot
where his brother lay. The survivor was
at once attended to, and when our in
formant left he was still alive with no
hopes of his recovery, and he was terri
bly, wounded in five places, and con-
tinued to rave like a maniac.
Take it altogether, the circumstances,
the standing, the strong and brotherly
love that once existed, and the bloody
and sickening finale, we have never be-
