A STRANGE STORY.
Four Mcn Convicted OF the Murder Of
aMam who is yet Alive.

In September, 1868, a man whose
name was given as David Crayton, was
supposed to have been drowned in the
river, whence he was driven by a mob
of negroes -Four ofthe negroes, to-wit:
Ed. Brooks, Mike McLehan, Silas Da-
Wis and John ClaybOrn, were subse-
quently convicted, the latter of man.

cessories. Clayborn is now in prison
undergoing a twenty-one years SEN
tence, and the others have served out
their time and are free. On the trial,
it is said that no death was proved, and
that important witpe2es for the de-
fense were not summoned TO testify
and the defendants were loosely defend

Be that as it may, it is certain that
Major A. l.. Robinson has now in his
possession certain affidavits showing
that the man Crayton, or Pony" as
he was then known, is still living
Irwin Alexander, cOlOred man, who
saw Pony swim from the Quickstep to
the Sallie W, met him about six months
ago in Paducah, and conversed with
him. Pony seemed pleased at the droll

alive.
Jack Stone, a colored man, well
known in Evansville, has also seen
and recognized Crayton in Paducah.
Crayton's account of his escape is that
he was not struck by the sticks or
Jumps of coal thrown at him, but that

from the steamer Linton, where he had
first attacked the negroes with an adze.
He says he rose just under the guards

into the wheel-house, and was secreted
by his countrymen, and went TO Hem

made up for him, and he went to st.
Louis. Since that time he has never
been nearer to Evansville than Pa

TT NEVER PAYS.

It never pays to fret and growl,
When fortune seems our fOe:
The better bred will push ahead
And strike the heavier blow.
For luck Is work,
And those who shirk
Should not lament their doom,
But yield the play,
And clear the way
That better men have room.
1t never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain;
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheapest bought with pain.
An humble lot,
A cosy cot.
Have tempted even kings:
For station high.
That wealth will buy,
Not oft eontentment brings.
1t never paysi blunt refrain
Well worthy of q song,-
For age and youth must learn the truth
That nothing pays that's wrong;
The good and pure
Alone are sure
To bring prolonged success.
While what is right
In Heavens sight
Is always sure TO bless.

TO EMMA s.... OF wooDvILLH.
ny oHAos MELBOURNE.

Look above you, stricken mourner,
TO the happy realms above,
There a golden light Is shining,
'Tis the precious star Of love.
God has given Il as q token
That loves ties can ne'er be broken.
He whose love was once your sunshine
Dwelleth 'mong the angels fair,
And in pure and radiant garments,
He awaits you over there's
Unto you the Cross was given,
But the crown grows bright in Heaven.
EobIy was his young life given,
For the sacred cause Of right,
And the soul went forth unfettered
From the darkness into light;
There with blossoms Of the morning
Angel hands his brow adorning.
Sadly, sadly do you miss him,
Since they laid his form away,
Yet twas not the noble spirit,
Nothing bat the lileless clay.
He has gone a while before you,
Yet he often hoyers DER you.
God will see you in your anguish,
And will send him from above,
And through all the weery darkness
Der you shines his star Of love
Love like his endureth ever,
Death the union cannot sever.
Through the weary hours Of suffering,
AS you kuelt beside the bed,
When you bowed before your maker
In the vigil with the dead.
Oh ! the angels bending near you
Whispered gentle words to cheer you.
When this earthly life is over,
Aud you hear the Savour's voice,
That through all life's upward journey,
Made your inmost soul rejoice.
"Come, my child, find rest in Heaven,
There loves ties are never riveu.
Then how blest TO meet and love him
On that other brighter shore,
When the pain Of life is over,
And where part ings are no more
just across the rapid river,
Iu the mansions Of the Giver.
