THE LETTER TO THE DEAD.

We remember at tue Wilderness a gallant
Mississippian had fallen, and at night just oe-
fore burying him, there came lei'er iroui u.'
he loved best. One Of the group AROUND Ills
bodv-a ro;nister-wbose tenderness was almost
womanly. broke the silent teariHiness WIN
which he saw the dead letter; he look ana
laid il upon the breast Of him whose herolc
hoor, mos s,irI: "Bury it with him. He will
coo :, ,,bep he awakes." 1t was the subllmest
sentence of his funeral service.
Comes the letter from mother
Are sisters longings there
Or the fondness Of another,
Loved and loving, young and fair
Seek not now to know the writer,
Seek Lot whence, or why it came;
As he died, his dimmed eye saw her;
As he dIed, he breathed her name.
1t has come DER hills and valleys,
Crossed DER rivers, passed o'cr lakes;
BURY it upon his bosom,
He will see it when he wakes"
Bury the dead with the letter unread,
There to remain,
Till the soldier awakes from his slum0er'
To ioin in the battle again.
All! but neyermore to battle
He will march by beat of drum;
Neyermore when the fight is over
Sigh for gentle peace TO come;
Nevermore to roll-call answer;
Nevermore will pace his round,
Keeping watch DER sleeping comrades
Strewn upon the chilly ground
Nevermore the light words utter
While his heart with sadness aches
BURY it upon his bosom,
lie will see it when he wakes"
Bury it deep with the soldier to sleePj
There let it lie,
While the green grass grows DER the sleeper,
And the world goes hurryiDg by.
She who fingered as she wrote it
Der each tender word she pcnned,
She perchance will find her sorrow
With some later lover end.
But for him those words Of loving
May survive when time is DER,
Aud though she forget her fondness,
Greet him on the farther shore.
Cross his arms and close his eyeliIs,
lis his slumber that he takes;
Bury 1t upon his bosom,
He will see it when he wakes"
Law him 10 rest with the scroll on his breast,
There in the tomb,
Till the startled dead shall awaken
the terrible day of doom.

have no trouble about the pay" The
trial commenced and proved to be a somo-
what protracted and exciting one The
District Attorney proved that the money
in question vas composed Of two $50 bills
on certain bank, and the remainder all
IN SO bills, all of which were wrapped up
in piece Of oil silk. The jury, after
listening to the counsel in the case, and
receiving the charge Of TIE Judge, re-
tired, and soon returned with verdict Of
not guil;y. The accused, who was great
ly elatcd with the result Of the trial and
the effort Of his counsel, invited the lat
ter into one Of the vacant jury rooms.
As soon as they were alone he slapped
his counsel on the slolIer, and ezc!am-
ed:
"Free as water, ain'tI? What's the use
of trying man fer stealing when you'lc
around? Now suppose you want pay Z"
"Yes have you got anything to pay
with ?" said the lawyer. "Lend ne
your knife and well see about that"
The lawyer, slightly startled at such
proposition, rather reluctantly complied
the accused Immediately commenced rip
ping and cutting away at the waistband
of his panta!ooas, and soon produced the
roll Of bills for the stealing Of which ho
had just teen tried, wrapped up in the
identical piece Of oil silk described by
the witnesses for the prosecution, and
throwing it down on The table before tho
astonished lawyer, exclaimed "There,
take your pay out Of tl.at l gases there
is enough to pay you tolerajly wen."
"Why, YOU villain, you stole that
money after all" said the lawyer. "Do
you expect l can take any Of that
money! "Stolc that money. Didn't

END OF A NOTORIOUS BUSHWHACKER--A
CAREER OF CRIME BROUGHT 10
A CL0SE.

Sr. Louis. March 5.-The Democrat
has the following special, this morning,
from Warrcnsburg:
The grand high priest Of desperadoes,
Bill Stevens, has met his just dues, and
i, is reported, was killed this morning at
daylight, by some horsemen who had
surrounded his house, and called on him
to explain certain threats made while in
town the day after the hanging Of San
ders.
This man, Stevens, has been the terror
Of the country and State, he being at The
head of all villainy and crime, and VICE
was it to any person who thwarted him
in his views. One of his sons was killed
at the Blair meeting last fall, and was a
chip of the same block. Another Of his
sens, a we'll known horse and cattle thief,
who has by his acts made himself liable
20 arrest, and by his daring had always
escaped, has several times been shot at ly
tire sheriff, but Dick Turpin ike, escaped.
This son is blamed for being connected
with the gang that murdered Mr.. Switzer,
and was waited upon, but succeeded IN
escaping, along with his pal, Morse An
drews, across the river. Polk Adams and
J. Starky, both members Of TIE same
gang, we're waited upon by the commit
tee at the house of Adams father, on
Friday night, but they succeeded IN es-
Gaping by running the gauntlet through
two hundred ho-s smen, who were armed
to the teeth and had surrounded tie
house Adams is reported wounded IN
the arm, and both he and Star key are
now in Kansas or Nebraska, hid away by
their friends. All these men are known
to every person who has owned gojd
horse or OK for The past two years.
So the work goes brayelY on, and ere
the leaves come out by the warmth OF TIE
May sun, johnson county and Western
Missouri, will be as safe place for tho
peaceable emig-ant as any Of the Eastern
States. 4 strong effort is being MADE
BY these yagabonds to cry out rebels and
rebel persecution but this game is ''play
ed out" and the committees are legion,
and are known to be from all parts, hav-
ing only one issue involved-etarnal e@.
termination to all numbering thieves and
desPerado".

A CONSCIENTIOUS LAWYER

The Dauyille (N. Y. Express tells a
capital story connected with a prominent
lawyer of that village, who has distin-
cuished himself in the defense of Grim
inals, as well rs in connection with
other trials, having frequently, through
his skill, aided the most hardcnd criminals
to escape from justice. Some time ago,
while he was attending Court in an adjoiE.
ing county, he was applied to by ST ngu-
lar specimen of humanity charged with
grand larcenny, 20 defend him. The
lawyer very naturally inquired what
crime he was accused of. The party ac-
cused replied that somebody had been
near enough to charge him with stealing
$50 in bank notes, and had got him in
dicted. "A1e you guilty ?" asked the
lawyer. That's none Of your business,
replied the accused. They say that
makes no difference with You whether a
man is guilty Or not, you will cOntriye to
lig him out in ,ome way. So don't talk
any more about :hc gull. until you near
what the jury says" "Well, what about
the pay?' said the lawyer. You
