THE SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS.

They tell US of the Paladans, the knights of feu-
dal times,
Who flashed their tempered sabres in the light of
Asian elimes
Who fercely smote the saracen cleft the turban'd
Turk,
And deemed that in their Makers sight they
wrought pleasing work.
Their standard was a cross of red, upon a ground
of white.
And meath its glow of fame and snow those war
riors loved to fight;
And tho their life-bood stained the plain, they
counted it no loss,
To die the CORY battle death, as Soldiers Of the
Cross %
As champions of Christondom, they longed to
measure swords
Each Paaidan 'gainst Saladin, and all his paynim
hordes;
And when the trump of battle gave the signal for
the fray,
They galloped on a countless foe as 'twere gala
day.
But days of steel-clad cavalry, of belted men and
spurred,
Have vanished as a wreath of snow by austral
breathing stirred
The world has lost her men at arms, and yet sus-
tanned no loss;
They're purer fame who bear their names as
% Soldiers of the Cross"
Their lons girt with truthfulness their breasts
are armed with right,
Salvation's helm and Faiths broad shield secure
them in the fight,
And while with sandal wood of peace their feet
are safely shod,
With iron grasp they clasp the spirit sword Of
God.
And they, too, have banner proud, to cheer them
in the strife,
They cluster meath its glorious folds to tho
Prince of Life
1t bears upon a field of white of ruby stain,
The white ground cries, {. He righteous is p the
cross, Z" He once was slain -
The war shout is Emmanuel !'' they never knew
defeat,
Nor, when before the enemy, ingorius retreat;
Upon the grimy hosts of sin their dauntess legions
pour,
As sweeps the thunderous ocean surf upon shelly
ing shore.
Why then let knight and armor bright rest in their
dust and rust
For nobler men are marching in the armies of the
just
Of all that tnseled chvalry we've nothing left but
dross,
But Death and Hell go down before these " Sol
ders of the Cross. -

at an early period, and resided there until his
death, which occurred somewhat over dozen
years ago. He had many ardent friends, but
nothing definite was ever learned regarding
his early history Whether he acquainted
Houston with it or not can never be known,
for the old hero never enlightened me, or any
one else, as far as | can learn, upon the
point.
When Deaf Smith was questioned upon the
point, he laid his finger upon his lip. and, II
pressed his black eyes gave such rebuke
that no one dared question him fLrther.-
Although deprived of the faculty of hearing,
nature, as is often the case, seemed to COM
pensate him, by giving him an eye as keen
and far-reaching as an eagles, and a smell as
perfect as a ravens. He could discern
Comanches so far off on the prairies that they
were invisible to the most experienced rang
ers, and his friends declared that he could
scent an Indian or Mexican when miles
distant.
Gifted in this extraordinary manner, it will
be seen that he possessed just the qualities TO
make him successful spy; and his services
to Houston during the Texan war for indie
pendence were invaluable. He nearly always
went alone, and very rarely failed to obtain
the information he desired. He had many
erratc habits. No persuasion could induce
him to sleep under the roof of a house. With
his blanket wrapped around him, he loved to
be out in the open air, under the star-gem-
med armament or the silver moon.
When not engaged as a spy he lived by
hunting, and was often absent for months
upon his solitary excursions. He was a
genuine son of nature, at home only when
upon the praries or in the woods, or when
engaged in the thrilling excitement of the
hunt, or the more fiery thrill of the clash Of
arms and the clangor of battle.
Shut out by his infrmities from close com
panonship with friends, he made the mani
mate things of earth his friends Wherever
there was land Or water, barren rocks or
tangled brakes of wild waving cane, there
Deaf Smiths home, and there he was happy;
but in the streets of great cities, in all the
great thoroughfares of men, wherever there
was fattery or fawning, base cunning or
craven fear, there was Deaf Smith an alien
and an exile.
Strange soul He hath departed on the
long journey, away among those high bright
stars which were his night lamps and he
hath either solved or ceased to ponder the
deep mystery of the magic word life." He
is dead therefore, let his errors rest in
oblivion and his virtues be remembered with
hope.

WE heard laughable anecdote of man
with big foot" He was Bufalonian,
who must be alive now, for man with SO
good hold upon the ground is not likely to
drop off in hurry. He stepped one day
into small shop of boot maker in the
fourshing capital of old Erie, and asked
Crispin if he could make him pair of boots.
Looking at his long spay pedal extremities,
and then glancing at a huge uncut cowhide
that hung on the wall he said 50 Well, yes,
| guess So"
"What time will you have them done P
To day is Monday"
"Well, it will depend upon circumstances;
guess can have them for you by Satur-
day"
On Saturday, therefore, the man called
for the boots.
"Have you got 'em done?' said he, as he
entered the little shop.
mo. | haven't-couldn't it has rained
every day since | took your MEASURE
Rained," exclaimed the astonished pat
ron. Well, what of that, what bad that to
do with it?"
"What had that to do with it?" echoed
Crspn it had a good deal to do with it.
When l make your boots Tee got 10 go out Of
doors, for haven't room in nv shop, and |
can't work out of doors in rainy weather" :"

MOMENTUM.-When two locomotives, hav.
ing equal speed on a railroad track, meet
from opposite directions, the shock actually
destroys the momentum of both, and, there
fore, makes dead halt. The force of the
shock produced by the two bodies, say the
philosophers, will be equal to the shock
which either, being at rest, would sustain if
struck by the other moving with double the
velocity. Action and reaction being equal,
both bodies will be as much moved by reac.
ton as by action. Should two railroad
trains, running toward each other at the rate
of twenty miles an hour, collide, the shock
would be precisely the same as though one
had been at rest and struck by train mov-
ing forty miles an hour. Were two steam
boats to run directly together, head on-one
going twelve and the other fifteen miles an
hour-the conclusion or shock each would
suffer would be as though struck by the other
at speed Of twenty seven miles an hour
Without stopping to philosophize upon the
cause, boxers and pugilists know, by dear
bought experience, that the worst blows they
ever receive in a combat are when a fist
strikes fist, because the force suffered by
both parties is equal to the sum of the forces
exerted by either arm. The adroit fighters,
therefore, always avoid encounters of that
kind, if possible.

VICToRIA's FAMILY DIsCIPLlNE-One day
when the Queen was present in her carriage
at military review, the Princess Royal,
then a willful girl of about thirteen. sitting
on the front scat. seemed disposed to be
rather familiar and eoquetish with some
young officers of the escort. Her Majesty
gave several reproving looks, without avail
" winked at her, but she wouldn't stay
winked." At length, in flirting her hand
kcrchief over the side of the carriage, she
dropped it-too evidently not accidentally
Instantly two young heroes sprang from their
saddles to return it to her fair hands-but the
awful voice Of royalty stayed them. g Stop,
gentlemen ~ exclaimed the Queen" leave
it just where it lies. Now, my daughter, get
down from the carriage and pick up your
handkerchief" There was no help for it
The royal footmen let down the steps for the
little royal lady, who proceeded to lift from
the dust the pretty piece of cambric and lace
She blushed good deal, though she tossed
her head saucily, but the mortifying lesson
may have nipped in the bud her first impulse
toward coquetry. 1t was hard, but it was
wholesome. How many American mothers
would be equal to such piece of Spartan
discipline?

i. a Nice Place to Live in,

The following from the Evening Post of
Saturday last shows us what safe place
Chicago is for MA to live III:
''The coming on of cold weather has rem
dered cases OF the criminal portion OF Chi
cago desperate They have not the means
for procuring bread and whisky, and hence
burglaries, cases of garroting, robbery and
THEFT, are on the Increase III the city.
The police, up to yesterday evening, had,
during the preceding twelve hours, learned
part OF the facts connected with four mys-
terlOus dlsappearances, and, IN some Of
them, the evidence seemed TO warrant the
belief that the men lost had been toully
dealt with.
The most curious Of these is the case of
the young man, Charles TaIman, who left
his residence at = clock in the afternoon
of last Wednesday. He left without put
ting on his overcoat, but simply taking his
cap, he remarked to his young wife that he
would return in few minutes Those few
minutes have heightened into three days,
and yet no clue rs to his whereabouts or
fate, has been discovered.
Case No. ., is that of gentleman
named Charles Hibbard, residing at No.
857 West Madison street, who left his
house to come down town." on last Satur-
day evening. One week has elapsed since
then, and yet 40 word frem him has come
to his anxious relatives and friends
Case No. is that Of Charles H. Trav-
crse, Of Sturgis, Mich, who has recently
been staying with A. u. Alexander, pro-
prietov OF drug store at No 35l South
Clark street lie started for the depot,
for the purpose OF visiting his home, on
last Friday. lie was expected at home,
but when day after day passed, and he fail
ed to putt an appearance, his friends be-
came alarmed, and yesterday telegraphed
TO Mr.. Alexander to ascertain the cause Of
the young mans absence.
Case No /, is sconcerning Wm. G. Bur
ton who left Gro by's Music Hall, on the
night Of the St. Georges Society party,
with the assurance that he was going
straight to his home. Up to late hour
last evening, nothing had been seen OF him
since that time 1t is known that he had
about his person II wallet containing be-
tween $500 and $400-a very dangerous
commodity to carry about the streets atmid-
night, during the present teyercd state Of
the criminal pulse.
in addition to the above may be instau-
cea the late revelations regarding Charles
Alsberg, found on the 18th inst, nearly
frozen to death On dredging sc0w in the
North Branch, near North avenue, who
died while en- route for the Huron Street
Station. A man named johnson vas yes
terday arrested and charged with the muir
der And in the four instances given above,
no good reason can be found for sudden
absence of the lost parties excepting that
pointing toward ;heir having been murder
cd or otherwise iouly dealt wiyh. The po-
lice authorities are tard at work, investiga-
ting ali he facts connecting with these cases,
aud something more definite may soon be
discovered. For the honor and name Of the
city, it is to be hoped there may be at least
a reasonable solution given for these persons
SO suddenly Disappearing.

THE EARTHQUAKE SEASON. The inter-
nal affairs Of mother earth seem to be some
what disturbed this season. A succession
of earthquakes has visited the West Indies
of late. Mt Vesuvius has been indulging
in an extensive eruption. There was an
earthquake in the Racine Journal Office
only few weeks ago. And on Wednes-
day an earthquake shock was felt at Au-
burn, Syracuse and Ogdensburg, N. y.
At the latter place 1t is violent, shaking
every building in the city. IF this sort of
thing continues much longer we shall have
the sensational newspaper reporters discus
sing ''the carnival Of earthquakes
