1eWkesbury 1t was universally believed
that the guilty had been punished and
the honor of the law fully indicated. II
was noticed on the trial that Sir Percy
Haskell, celebrated surgeon, gave it a.
his belief that David Marble had been
dispatched by one blow, whereas the
thieving fisherman had sworn to having
heard too deadened blows in the mill on
the eventful night. But the surgeons
evidence did not tend to help the accused
The miller had said that he broke in
the heading of a cask with two blows. in
Marbles presence; but this explanation Of
the noise was not credited.
Shortly after the miller's execution his
family left Tewkesbury, and all traces Of
them b came lost. The mill was Stunned
by the superstitious, and another had to
be erected to keep the patronage athome
Although we have followed the miller
Of Tewkesbury to his death, the story Of
the crime does not end here.

vailing, and the matter was dismissed
from the gamekeeper's mind.
Two days later, dead man was found
under shelving bank not far from the
scene of the shot. It was evidest that he
had been dead for twelve hours. Nobody
recognized him, but the piece of paper
which had dropped from his hand told q
terrible story; it revealed secret which
must have haunted its guilty possessol
like the ghost of the murdered dead
This document contained blood stains
and was written in poor, ragged hand
as follows:
" l am Roswell Gordon, of Tewkesbury
dying from shot received by Sudbury's
gamekeeper, and declare before God, and
with the judgment before me, that what
l am going to say is true. Three years
ago Calvin Tyler was executed for the
murder of David Marble, merchant. He
was innocent I, Roswell Gorden, did the
deed. 1t was in this wise. I had key
to the miller's back door, and used to get
my flour by theft. I saw Mr.. Marble and
the miller in the mill on the Goth. The
miller paid him six hundred and ninety
pounds. The merchant went out the back
way; I followed and struck him once
with bludgeon. He fell down quite
dead. After the miller left the mill l
carried the body into the cellar, and
buried it where had seen the miller put
his dead dog three nights before. The
dog took away and buried it near my
house. l poisoned the animal, for he
bothered me at the mill. got Mr.. Mar
bles money, and gambled it away in
London. This is true, for l will soon
stand before my God, and can't die with
two murders on my soul. God have
mercy on my guilty soul.
Roswell Gordon"
Thus was the truth finally told; but the
innocent had suffered for the guilty.
Justice had finally overtaken the poach-
er. In the night, under the bank, be died
with the crimes of years ON his soul, un-
shriven by priest, and, as we may believe,
unforgiven by his God.
Itwas ordered that colors should be
waved over the miller's grave in token of
his innocence.

THE MILLER OF TEWKESBURY.
by r. c. HARBACGH.

When the list of men hung by circum-
stantial evidence is complete, the name of
Calvin Tyler, the miller of Tewkesbury,
will be found thereon. One hundred and
two wears have passed since occurred the
particulars we are about to relate, and the
mill which achieved such nOtOriety long
ago has been swept from existance by the
breath of the fiery demon.
On the night of October Goth, 1775, as
several persons affirmed on solemn oath,
Calvin TYLER entered his family circle and
said that the faithful Watchdog of the
mill had died in fit, and was buried in
the cellar whose walls were washed on
enc side by the water of the race.
The miller furthermore said that the
log exhibited symptoms Of having been
poisoned, and when his daughter asked
him if he suspected any one, he said
"No! and almost Immediately went to
cd.
This very simple conference.-the death
of dog-was to be commented upon and
very generally disbelieved by the highest
in that portion of the realm. One month
aftcrward, Mrs. Marble gave notice to the
proper authorities that her husband, a
prominet merchant, had been missing for
six-and- twenty days, and that she feared
that foul play had befallen him.
The lady said that on the 23d of Octo-
Der her husband had left home at eight
o'clock in the evening, saying that he was
going to Tyler's mill, the owner of which,
Calvin Tyler. was to pay him six hundred
pounds Of borrowed money, and the in

POETRY
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.


This man, whose homelv face you look upon,
Was one of natures masterful, great men;
Born with strong arms that unfought battles
won
Direct of speech and cunning with the pen.
Chosen for large designs, he had the art,
Of winning with his humor, and he went
Straight to his mark, which was the human
heart;
Wise, too, for what he could not break, he
bspt.
Upon his back more than Atlas load,
The burden Of the Commonwealth was
laid;
He stopped, and rose up to it, through the
road
Shot suddenly downward, not whit dis
mayed.
Hold, warriors, councillors, kings all now
give place
TO this dear benefactor of the race.

state may easily provide by law for trial

none would omit to do so. The change of
the general election to October, if it shall
be made. should also be followed by a
general change of election days under tho
