That listen while he sings,
If bee and flower aud bird say Nay"
Then my loves false and fled away.
"Why do I love You" Ask the sea
Why it adOres the moon;
And ask the queenly rose why she
Dotes on the month OF June:
And ask the suntlOwer why she turns

And all the dark night fondlY yearns
For her beloved one.
If sunfower, rose and sea reply,

All. who the secret source can tell
OF love that lLng enduresg
The charm is undeiinable,
That draws my soul to yours;

And pure as morning dew,
Enough, though hid the cause may be,

LIFE AND ADVENTURES
OF JOHN REDMAN.
Sketches fir IN Infancy up, OF.
the Pioneer Stock Dealer
Of the SciOtO Valley.

Col. John Redman is a queer
character, well known herea-
bouts. The Col. was a former
resident of Ross county, but a
few years since removed to
Grove city, Christian county,
Ill. A recent visit to his old
Chillicothe friends has revived
many curious recollections Of
his peculiarities. He was born
in Virginia but many years
ago, when quite young, he came
to Ross county. He is now
about forty,two years Of age
six feet in length of mus
ular proportions, indicatin9
great activity as we'll as
strength. United 20 the finest
physical proportions, Col. Red
man has a countenance ex>
pressiye of intellectual Pcwer
and the broadest humor. Brim
full of fun and delicate humor
he has the power to enlist the
attention of all who come in
contact with him. Having
seen much of the world, in his
way, as a traveller, as a stock
driver, having crossed the
noun tains many times in tn ,
days before railroads were
dreamed of in This country, Le
is full of Renaissance con,
nectedj with his wild and ad'
venturous lie. When in tds
countryhe was noted as asport
imam. He was frequently seel
coming into the. city with hi
wagon bedecked with the skin
of his victims and followed by
his hounds. With his stent to
rian voice he awoke the echo el
of the neighboring hills. Ey'
cry man, woman and chile
knew that John Redman, & was
coming. On his arrival the
streets were made merry will
his,jokes and stories. Although
his humor was unfaillng some
times he fou nd himself in {
quarrel and then he was a pow
er in a free and easy fight, bu
it was more for the fun of the
thing than from i'll temper OF
malice. Of course such a mar
was q sort of free characte
having a kind of license to dc
as he pleased with the most
pefect immunity from all legal
processes. Col. Redman, Of
course, with such a tempera,
ment, was not one to accumu.
late this worlds goods, and to
better his fortunes, and in &C
cordance with his tastes, re-
moved to Illinois in 1867,
where he finds wider range
for his frontier habits. Since
his removal he has been en-
gagged by Mr.. Alexander, the
great stock raiser of Illinois,
and his business at present Is
stock shipper, for which he is
eminently fitted. Col. Redman
is regarded as an honest, faiths
ful, and capable man in his
line, and his good humor, wit,
and companionable qualities
render him always an agreea>
BILE visitor.
Some idea may be gained of
the strength - Hoi .John Red.
