The Truth of 1t.

A report to which we are forced to
give reluctant credence, comes 10 us
from Seven Rivers, to the effect that
Tom Pickett and Billy Wilson of the
old Billy the Kid outfit. and other "bad
men,, shot aud killed four Mexiraus.
The killing is said to have been done
"jnst for fan. Era last week.
We wrote the above with Il very
barge mental re@' ryatioh, for upon itS
face the report see,nrd to us untrue,
AMI we were without advice. of our
own Of its occurrence. Investigate ion
shows that our informant got his
knowledge second hand, and strength
cned it from the columns of would.

prared the dire hoad-liues announcing
to the whole United States the "ue ws"
that the Billy the Kid gang was re-
vivel, that lhv had killed four men
simply to see them kick that ii new
era of crime was maugurated IN Lin
coin County," that the governor had
offered reward ; that Sheriff Poe was
over tho border in pursuit
Deeply as we deplorcd the injury
which we knew was thus bein in
flicted upon cur county, we could not
brand as II lie what We most assur-
cdly thought 10 be lie, and which we
now know to bJ lie, until we re .
ctivcd, under date of January 10Th, a
letter from our Sheriff Mr.. Poe, from
which we make the following extract.

PATIENCE.

Hold thou mine hand, beloved, as we sit
Within the radiance of our winter fire,
Watching the dainty shadows as they fit
On wall and ceiling as the flames leap higher.
Hold thou mine hand, beloved, with the calm
Close clasp of love assured and at rest,
And let the peace at home, a blessed balm
Fall on us, folding faithful breast to breast
Hold thou mine hand, beloved, while speak
or all thy love hath done and borne for me,
The stronger soul supporting still the weak,
Inc good hand giving royalty and free;
The tender heart that put man IS roughness by,
To wipe weak tears from eyes too seldom dry.
/ touch this thing and that, the pretty gifts,
The silver zone, the jeweled lingering,
The outward symbols of a love that lifts
My fate and me beyond lifes bufreting;
Yet, oh, thrice generous gver! there remains
A thing for which have not thanked thee
yet,
Thy patience-through the long years with
their pains
Thy patience with my weakness and regret.
All, let me thank thee now with falling tears,
Tears of great joy, and deep serene content,
And God be thanked that through the weary
years
We saw together ere our lives were blent,
Although the years were desolate and long,
Thy patience matched thy love, and both were
strong!
