CALLING THE DEAD.

Ny little child so sweet a voice might wake
SO sweet n sleeper for so sweet a sake.
Calling your buried brother back to you,
You laugh and listen-t,ll listen too,
Why does he listen: 1t may be to hear
Sounds too divine to reach my troubled car.
Why does he laugh: 1t may be he can see
The face that only tears can hide from me
Poor baby faith--so foolish or so wise,
The name shape out Of forlorncst cries
He speaks as with birds or blossoms breath
How fair the knowledge is that knows not
Death,
All, fools and blind-through all the ptcous
Searchers of stars and graves-how many
seers
Calling the dead and seeking for a sign,
Have laughed and listened like this child Of
mine?

Lynch Law and Riot in Livingston County,
Illinois.

On Sunday evening last an affair took place
in ESman township that would have disgrac.
ed the bOrdcr-TuffianS of Kansas or the White
League of Louisiana. About 1870 in the
evening, a party Of three men visited the resi-
dcnCc of the late Cyrus b Jones, who was
murdered on the eighth OF the present month,
and asked for his son, ". II. Jones The
young man presented himself, and one of the
party told him he was deputy sheriff, and
had ii warrant for him for killing his father,
pnd that hc had better 90 along vita them
quietly to Pontiac, where he would be safe,
as there was a mob raised at Cdyuga ready to
lynch him. The pretending officer then read
the warrant to him, and placing him in a sled
started, as the family thought to Pontiac
But when the party reached BabCocli's grove
they were met by another party of three men,
and Young Jones was taken rom the sled,
thrown over the fence and marched into the

weight, he was marched further into the
woods and tod that it he had anythlnu to
say to say 1t quickly, as his minutes were
numbered.

use the money in finding out who it Was that

mean TO die like any bOdy else, and they would
kill him as they pleased. litter they found
they could not cNtOrt q confession from him,
they took from him his ovrrcoat and over
sh pes, then told HIM to make his way home
