JIM BL I'D 8 OE,
(Uf the "Prairie Belly

Wall, no, can't tell whar he lives,
Because he don't live, you see;
Leastways. he's got of the habit
OF livin' like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three years
That you haven hearn folks tell
How Jimmy Bludsoe passed in his checks,
The night of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in Natehez -under-the-Hill,
And another one here in Pike,
A keerless man in his talk, was jim,
And an awkard man in a row
But he never funked, and he never lied
| reckon he never knowed how.
And that was all the religion he had
To treat his engine well,
Never be passed on the river,
And to mind the pilots bell;
And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire,
A thousand times he swOre
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Mississip,
And her day came at last;
The Moyaster was better boat,
But the Belle, she wouldn't be passed.
And so she came tearin' along that night
The Oldest craft on the line
With niger squat on the safety valve,
Her furnace crammed with rosin and pine.
The fire burst out as she cleared the bar,
And burnt hole in the night,
md quick as a flash she turned and made
For the willow bank on the right.
There was running and cursing, but Jim
yelled out,
Over all the Internal roar,
"I'll hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoots ashore"
Through the hot, black breath of the burnin'
boat,
Jim Bludsoe's voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cussedness,
And knowed he'd keep his word.
Aud sure's your born they all got off
Afore the smoke stacks fell,
But Bludsoes ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He weren't no saint-but at judgment
I'd run my chance wi Jim,
Long side of some pious gentlemen,
Who wouldn't have shook hands with him:
He seen his duty, dead sure thing,
And went for it thar and then;
And Christ amt goin' to be too hard
| On man that died for men.

Beautiful AIuegOry,

Mr Crittenden, of Kentucky, was one time
engaged in defending a man who had been
indicted for a capital OfFense. After an
elaborate and powerful defence he closed
his effort with the following striking and
beautiful sllegory:
"When God in his eternal council con-
ceived the thought of mans creation, he
called to him threc ministers who wait con-
stantly upon the throne-Justise, Truth and
Mercy--and thus addressed them: Shall
we make man 2 Then said Justice, %
God make HIM not, for he will trample up.
on thy laws Truth made answer, also, %,
God, make him not, for he will pOllute thy
sanctuaries.' But Mercy, dropping upon
her knees, and looking up through tears
exclaimed, %, God, make him will watch
over him with all my care through all the
dark paths which he may have to tread.
Then God made man, and said to him, %
man, thou art the child of Mercy; go and
deal with thy brother

The Water Valley Yallonian of the 25th
ult. tells the following:
As the mail train on the Mississippi Cen
trail was coming South on Wednesday of
this week, Mr.. Boyd, conductor, an old
gentleman from this State was on the train
who had been "up country" for hands, and
was bringing down a number This unsus-
pecting old man fell in with a nicely dressed
gentleman who wished to borrow from him
some money, Offering as security check on
some man in Chicago. The old man loaned
his nice companion $3.50, taking as collateral
a check on some man in Chicago for $500.
At Grand Junction the confidence man
stepped off the Central train, and as the
Memphis train was moving of stepped
aboard of that and disappeared, leaving the
unsuspecting old gentleman in profound
wo1dezuent whether his check was worth

NIuttIated Currency.

It was stated a few weeks ago that the
United States Court at Raleigh n. c., had
ordered decision, in which postmaster
in that State was defendent, that pOstmas-
ter being United States officer, he was
compelled to receive United States curren-
cY, however mutilated, in payment of post
age. The postmaster at Kingston has writ
ten to the Department at Washington, and
has received the following reply:
PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT,
Feb. 8, 1871.
SIR: Your letter of Cd inst to hand In
accordance with the rules of the Treasury
Department, the Postmaster General directs
you to receive in payment for postage
stamps and stamped envelopes, United

twentieth is missing, and fractional notes Of
which not more than One~tenth is missing,
if clearly genuine.
You are not required to receive mutilated
notes (by the term mutilated is meant notes
not worth their full face value under the
subjoined rules), which notes are redeema
BILE by the Treasurer of the United States
and by no other officer. Nor will you re
ceive notes SO much soiled or defaced thai
their genuineness cannot be clearly and sat
isfactorily ascertained.

The H. KS

The Sparta Tribune, a very neat neutral
paper just started at Sparta, Tenn, by one
of the Wisconsin ''boys,' thus opens on the
K. ks:
"Be fore leaving our Northern home there
were many who pointed out to US the dan
ger to be apprehended from the Ku Klux of
the South, some even prophesying that I'VE
would either be hung up or run out of the
country in less than a month" Well, we
came, and met the dreaded "Kluxers"- =
those whOle-hearted, intelligent, self-styled
''Old Rebels" who extended their hand to
us and gave us a hearty welcome to their
homes, promising their support to US in cur
enterprise, and trying to make US realize
that we were welcome-and they didn't
offer to chang US up or run us out" We
thank God that we fell among such lot of
the terrible Ku Klux," and assure our
Northern friends (the subjects of gross
misrepresentation that no people in the
universe are more pleased to welcome hon.
est, industrious men, of either political par
ty, into their State and neighbOrhoOd 1t is
our candid opinion that the kind of Ku
Klux described above are vastly the major
ity all over the South, and all the assurance
Northern man wants of personal safety is
to come here with the intention of con.
ducting himself as a man should. Such
men are wanted here, and in the name OF
the people of the South we say to you,
Come you are welcome r"

had found out from our obliging conductor,

CHAPTER II.

Two months had elapsed since their
wedding night, and Mr and Mrs Clifford
had returned to find their house neatly
furnished with all the Improvements of
the day
II was cloudy evening in June, and
the black clouds came rolling across the
heavens, plainly foretelling one of those
terrific thunder storms so common in the
West, and looking as if they would burst
upon the earth every moment The young
couple were seated on the front verandah.
watching the many passers as they hur-
ried by to escape the fury of the storm
then brewing. Soon the thunder began
10 rumble above them, while the streaks
of lightning seemed to cut the sky into
thousands Of pieces. Meanwhile they
had removed from the verandah, through
the long folding windows, TO the pleasant
sitting-room, where they passed their
time in reading till the little clock on the
mantle struck ten. Then, after asking a
Divine blessing, they retired The lights
had hardly been extinguished an hour
when a dark form was seen to enter the
yard, and gliding noiselessly to the ve-
randall, climbed upon it. Then going to
the window (Which they, in their hurry,
had neglected to lock- he found an easy
entrance to the happy home. Pushing
open the window, he found his way
through the front and sitting rooms, till
he came to the door of their apartment.
Then he paused, and after drawing dag
ger from his belt he proceeded; his eyes,
fairly shooting from their sockets with
excitement, were cast upon the two un-
conscious sleepers. The lightning fash
ed more fiercely than before, and threw
its light into the small room through the
open window upon the young couple and
their masked enemy. Softly he approach
ed the bedside, and looking down upon
the faces of the sleepers he muttered a
low sound of satisfaction.
