were gone; sweet smile played on
her mouth; her hair was so silvery
white, 50 honorable, no one could be
afraid to look at her; it was still the
same benign, kind grandmamm l..
And the psalm-book was laid un
der her head, as she herself had de-
sired, and the rose laid in the old
book; and SO they buried her.
On her grave, close under the
church wall, they planted a rose tree,
and it stood full of blossoms; the
nightingale sang over it, and from
within the church the organ played
the most beautiful psalms in the
book that lay under her head. And
the moon shone right down upon
her grave; but the dead one was
not there; every child could fear.
lessly go there at night, and pluck
a rose, there by the churchyard
wall.
One that is dead knows more than
all we living know; the dead know
the dread we should feel at anything
SO strange as that they should come
to us; the dead are better than we
all, and so they do not come. There
is earth over the coffin, there is
earth in it. The psalm-book with
its leaves is dust, the rose with all
its associations has crumbled into
dus.; but above, fresh roses bloom
above the nightingale sings, and
the organ plays; one thinks of the
old grandmother, with the mild
eyes, ever young.
Eyes can never die! Ours shall
one day see her young and beauti-
full as when, for the first time, she
kissed the fresh red rose that licth
now dust in the grave.

CATTLE THIEVES ARRESTED.

On last Sunday night a week, Mahlon ID.
Riggs, of Chase county, lost fifty head of cat
tie, valued at q, 500, from his herd in Marion
county. The cattle were driven TO Emporia,
and sold to one Clotfelter OF st. Louis, and de-
livered to him on the cars. A warrant was
issued for the arrest of David, George, Robert
and John Brown, brothers, OF Chase county,
charged with the theft. Sheriff Coats, of this
county, was instructed on Saturday last to ar
rest them, and Robert Brown was arrested
here by 7. johnson, deputy sheriff, on Sunday
morning. The horses of David and George
were found at Hartford, and they were arrest
ed. through the aid Of the telegraph at Paola,
and were brought here by T. johnson Friday
and Saturday morningsent to Chase county
for examination, where John, the last Of the
four, had been arrested. The telegraph stop
ped the transfer OF the cattle at st. Louis, and
the payment Of draft of 81 900 given to the
Browns in part pay for the cattle. Cl0tfelte.
had paid them $4O0 in cash. Mr.. Atyeo, of
this city had bought four of the cattle, and at
tached the horses of the thieves found at Hart
ford.
The father of the Browns had been arrested
some time ago, and is now under bonds in
Chase county for cattle stealing. The feeling
against these parties in Chase IL very strong,
and talk Of lynching, In case the law should
not be duly executed against them, Is INDUCED
in. The officers say that but for the telegraph
these men would have escaped in all probab-
ility. The Browns certainly had not given
due consideration to the development of the
country and the diminished chances of escape
before they attempted so large a theft. The
wonder is that they got so far along with it as
they did.
