inst
Aemphis, Mays
On Wednesday night a planter
named Smith Wilson, residing in
Germantown, near here, while sit
ting on sofa talking to his wife,
was shot through his window by an
unknown assassin. He. fell into
his wife's arms and expired. There
is no clue to the murderer.
There can be scarcely doubt
that the above mentioned victim of
assassination was no other than
our late follow citizen, SMITH VIII.
SON, who removed last fall from
this vicinity to that of German
town, Shelby county, Tennessee.
Those acquainted with him can
never conceive the foul deed to
have been the result of any person.
al difficulty with any one-but
must attribute it to some one oi
the lurking devils of the rebellion
who, with ranking hate in their
bosoms on account of the deserved
whipping.reccived at the hands Of
the loyal people of the country, are
still prowling in portions of the
South, taking a dastardly revenge
by the murder of Northern men
who locate there. Mr.. Wilson was
a citizen ofthe very highest type
of worth--a first class acquisition
to any community in which he
might fix his habitation, and we
know from conversation with him
that. he went South with high con.
tidence in the favorable disposition
Of the people of the region Mhere
he had purchased new home, with
regard TO the reception of North.

probability merely because hc was
Northern man. His family, and
his relatives here, have the doeT
sympathy of all who knew him
and good citizens and patriots
everywhere must invoke the aid o.
the powerful arms Of THOMAS and
SHERIDAN to bring the murderer tc
justice.

Thoughts on Heaven.

What shouts ofdellverance, what hozannas we'l
sing,
When our pent spirit scars up, on ecstacy's wing
When the glad sounds OF welcome, from q loved
Saviour come,
Withits echoes ofgIory from out Heavens dome
Thesong Of rejoicing, from the Angels bright
/ throng, .f,
And those gone before US, we have loved here so
long,
Shall mngle their tones, and the praises they
sing,
Is TO the Lamb that redeemed us, our Heavenly
King,
Obi could've but look to that bright world above
And hear those sweet anthems Of praises and
love;
We should not desire TO cling to this life,
Where oil is contention, and anger and strife,
But be happier far, those bright shores to tread
Where Jesus our Saviour is, who rose from the
dead.
Whose buffetiDgs here, fer oursakes were borne
As he suffered the shame, with the cross ant
the thorn.
But It's ours for time. to tread the paths tha
he trod,
And the way to the tomb, is but nearing our God
While the cross and the thorn, that weigh u;
down here,
In Heaven will make our crowns bright to ap
pear.
But we even can here, some true happiness fnc
By helping the needy, and the broken heart bind
Can point sinners the way that leads to on high
And%ords Outright promise to those that mus
die;
Can hold sweet communion with God in ou
prayer,
And our aims. and our gifts, be offered up there
and five prove fhthfui in that promise car
trust,
OF our Heavenly Parent come enter thou Just
