At the present session of the
grand jury of Putnam County, Eta
Robbins, the female horse thief, was
indicted Tuesday on two counts for
horse stealing. She was taken be-
fore the Judge of the Circuit Court
of Putnam County, yesterday, and
succeeded in having the cases con-
tinued. She gave bond in the sum
of 500 for her appearance at the
next term of Court. Upon being re-
leased she was taken before a JUS
tice of the Peace and adjudged a lu-
natic and turned over to her father,
who gave q bond of 800 to take
care Of her. She left Winfield and
is now probably out of the State, and
it is generally believed that Putnam
will not see her again. This is the
woman about whom SO mach has
been published recently Ctarks-

HE RESTS lin GOD.

g He rests in God" IT'S all we read;
The Wondering stone reveals no more.
/" In God" OF other words what need ?
These span the broad eternal shore.
O'erladen with its starry blooms,
A jasmine bush conceals the mound,
Neglected in the place of tombs,
With spicy, golden sweetness crowned.
And deep within its leafy breast
Some tuneful bird has sought home,
The tiny brood within the nest
Fearless and free to 60 and come.
A holy quietude is here,
Save where the happy birdling's song
Breaks through the stiffness pure and
clear,
And echoes the dark frs among.
Sleep on, sleep on, thou pulseless heart,
Where jasmine stars drop golden rain,
From every troubled thought apart,
Forgotten every earthly pain.
Sleep on; thy long repose is sweet;
Tender and cool thy grassy sod.
o traveller stay thy hurrying feet;
Step softly here" he rests in God

KEPT HIS WoRD.-A despatch
from Charleston, W. Va, says: Mrs.
Mary Pierson, of this county, has
just received large pension, which
recalls an unusual tragedy not noted
at the time and almost forgotten
since. At the breaking out Of the
war her husband was as an ardent
Southerner. She favored the Union,
as did her children. Finally the old
est son, Harvey, joined the Union
army. His angry father swore that
he would kill the first Yankee he
saw. In 1891 a squad of Is Union
soldiers stopped in front of his house.
The lieutenant, not thinking of dan.
er, climbed upon the fence and sat
down. Pierson shot him dead. In
revenge the soldiers killed Pierson
and three of his children. The son
Harvey was killed in battle. The
mother, with several children, has
lived in poverty until now. She is 70
years old.

THERE'S A GREEN GRAVE In IRE
LAND.

There's green grave in Ireland,
Where my heart lies buried deep;
Where Mary. my fond sweetheart,
Rests in her dreamless sleep:
We loved when both our hearts were
young,
And hope throbbed in each breast :.
But nevermore has hope been mine
Since Mary sank to rest
I've lived through many years,
Since on that summer morn
Sweet Mary gave her farewell kiss
And left me all forlorn;
hear her sweet voice calling me,
have not long to stay;
Bright hope will once again be mine
When death bids me away
There's green grave in Ireland,
Where my heart lies buried deep;
Oh, lay me there beside my love
In my last. dreamless sleepl

A CLEVER ARGUMENT.

There used to be in practices in one
eff the southeastern cities of Massa-
chusetts, says the Listener in the
Boston Eueaing Transcript, a we'll
known lawyer, who had consider
able degree of saccess at the bar, in
spite of an infirmity of speech that
he could never get rid of. His slut
tering appeals in behalf of his clients
were sometimes fearful and wonder
full deliverances oratorically, but his
opponents used to say that they real
~ gained in effectiveness from his
suffering, because the jury not only
sympathized with him, but had time
to take in and digest all his points.
One day he appeared in Bristol
County County court room before
Judge Pitman and jury, to defend
a very tough-looking citizen, who
had been arrested on a charge OF
selling liquor without a license. The
man had bad reputation and a bad
face; whiskey had been found on his
premises, and if ever a man was con.
victed before he was tried it seemed
to be this one.
But his suffering lawyer was
equal to the emergency. He cross
questioned the policeman who made
the seizure:
You s-s-say you found li.li.li.quor
in this mans house ~
"Yes.n
W.w.w-hat kind OF liquor w-was
it,
Whiskey."
I'm. Now, h.how much With. his.
ky did you f-ff-fiud 2"
"About half a pint, SIR"
"H.hhalf pint; yes. Now, egg
g-gentlemen of the j-i,jj.iury, | want
you to take a good ll-tlong look at
my coco li-li.lient."
The jury took a good look at him.
He wasn't very pleasant man to
see; his nose was sort of purple YER
million and considerably exagger.
ated its proportions at that; his brows
were low and shaggy, and his eyes
bleared.
"Now, g-g-g-g-gentlemen of the
jj;jju-u-ry," the lawyer went on, " ]
want you to t.t.t-t-t-tell me if my
c-c-c.c.c-li-lient looks like man that
would s-s.s.s.sell half pint of whis-
ky if it was all he had in the house,
The jury acquitted the man with
out leaving their seats.

If on the right side and lower part of the

cred, is calculated to evoke profanity from q
chappy whose liver Is out of order. When
that region is sore and congested, pokes seem
fiendsh. Look at q mans countenance ere
you prod him under the ribs. Ifhis skin and
eyeballs have a sallow tinge. you may infer
also that his tongue Is furred, his breath apt

GOMEZ, The PAINTER.

Sebastian Gomez was a mulattO
boy, employed in the studio of Md
rillo, the great Spanish painter. He
and his father were both slaves. He
slept In the studio nights, and after
all others were gone, painted. A
wonderful picture of the Virgin was
found there one morning, at sight OF
which Murillo was lost in admiration,
but no one could tell by whom it was
done. No one suspected the slave
mulatto boy. One night Sebastian
became so entranced with his paint.
ing, that he continued until morning,
when Murillo entered the studio and
found him at work. Murillo, en-.
tranced with the picture, promised
the slave boy whatever he would
ask.
At these words Sebastian uttered
cry OF joy, and raising his eyes to
his master said:
"The freedom Of my father The
freedom of my father !"
"Aad thine also," said Murillo,
who, no longer able to conceal his
emotion, threw his arm around Sc
bastian, and pressed him to his
breast.
"Your pencil" he continued,
+" SHOWS that you have talent; your
request proves that you have heart.
From this day consider yourself not
only my pupil, but as my son. have
done more than paint have made
a painter"
Nurillo kept his word, and Sebas-
tian Gomez, better known under the
name of the mulatto of Murillo, be.
came one the most celebrated paint
ers in Spain. There may yet he seen
in the churches of Seville the cele-
brated picture which he had been
found painting by his master; also
a st. Anne, admirably done; a holy
Joseph, which is extremely beauti-
full; and others of the highest merit.

WEST VIaINIA'S FRIENDSHIP.

West Virginia promises to be one
of Chicago's best friends. Her en-.
terprising citizens are making her
so, and the editor of the Parkers-
burg Journal writes to friend in
this city; We recognize Chicago's
go .aheadatiyeness aud push and her
public spirit. 1t is much the most
representative of all cities so far as
being American. Her press is much
the broader in spirit and less pro-
vincial 10 tone, for it is curious
fact that the average New York
newspaper seems incapable of look
ing at economic or every day ques.
tions other than through her New
York City eyes.
New York City is continental
city rather than an American one.
Chicago has the ozone of Western
energy and push, and would be a
typical location for an exhibition Of
the ambitious scope of the worlds
fair.
The writer of this was delegate
to the last Republican National con.
ventlou, and so was John L. Miller,
of Keyser, who says: 81 am thor
onghly 10 favor of the worlds fair
being held in Chicago. | am posi-.
tive that it would be an advantage
to West Virginia, and l hope your
efforts to secure it there will be sue.
cessfal.n
Henry G. Flesber, of jackson
County, West Virginia, who was
also a delegate, expresses the opin.
ion that the fair " ought to be'held
in your city. BY all means count me
for your city,"
Ex-Collector McGraw also puts
himself on record in this way: ~
am most heartily in favor of Chicago
as the place for holding the worlds
fair of 1892. That city has the big
heartedness and the reputation of
doing grand things handsomely that
entities her to the fair against all
competitors. Anything that will aid
in bringing West Virginia to the
front I am decidedly in favor OF, and
if the citizens and public authorities
of our State enter vigorously into
the occasion good to the State will
undoubtedly come, m1ch more SO
than If held in New YorkM - ~

The sl8E KING.
SEPrEMBER8- Biz, 1889.

In that Southern tropic sea
Where the buccaneers used to be,
And the slave ship swift and black,
With the white shark on its track
The Storm King came. and proudly stood
Upon his throne in angry mood.
He called to the Carib sea,
This is the home for me-
But now sally forth
10 the Atlantic in the North,
To lash the waves that idly flow,
And stir the winds that scarcely blow"
Swift on the coral reef,
Bermuda, like thief n
Crept up the angry king,
His anchor there to fling ses
And the stormy petrol swiftly flew,
And the ocean winds their bugles blew.
Still farther north he swept,
Where summer idlers slepts
Where smooth sea pillows swayed,
And the little children played
Loud rolled the thunder on the shore,
And frightened children played no more.
The wild waves rolled in first,
The winds in fury burst.
To herald the Storm Kings path
From the Gulf Stream in his wrath
Till the sailor said to the landsman pale.
I've not for years seen such gale"
A cry upon the shore,
Then hushed for eYermore
A cry upon the sea,
The ship sunk on the lee
But the demon stayed not for the cry
That rose that day, as he Numbered by.
Did the wise men whisper this
Or was it the breakers hiss?
What if the shifting pole
Shall in the ages roll
And wind and wave at last shall change
Each continent grand, its shape and
rangel
" Northward now lies the land,
Southwark the seas expand
come as mighty King
The land and sea to swing,
Till in the South the land shall rise,
And seas reflect the Northern skies"
o restless wind and wave,
And cruel as the grave!
0 Storm King ever nigh,
In thunder on the sky
Or if one moment lulled to sleep,
Only the next in wrath to sweep.
But on the blue Galilee,
A mightier than he
Once stood to rule the storm
A Christ in human form.
The Storm King knows his Master well
Before whose presence then he fell.
What may the meaning be-
There shall be no more sea !"
cannot tell know
There will be no more woe
And change, as in this vale of tears,
When once the Prince of Peace appears.
o Storm King frowning black!
o Winds upon his track
You sweeten sea and air,
Till he once more draws near,
To give the calm and breathe the rest,
Which needs no storm to make it blest.
