fFor The Messenger.1
The end of my journey is nearing,
But the twilight that darkens my
way
Has brought neither doubling col fear
ing
The hope of my heart to dismay.
1 has wrestled with guilt and with
Bitter shadow OF SIM
Yet 1 dread not the night. o the NOR
Nor wish that I never had been.
Vain visions, my folly once cherished
False idols, my soul had enshined,
Thank God, Ye are utterly persisted!
My spirit no longer is blind!
When nothing but ruin vas left NE
In the horror and followed this flight.
I was grasped by the hand that bereft
me-
The hand that has led me to light.
The life that is only worth living.
The Giver of life Ia bestowed;
His cross I now bear with thanksgfv'
ing,
Nor wish any lighter the load.
The crown of His thorn-coronation.
I may never be worthy to wear
But, sharing His humiliation,
| Even I, in His triumph may share.
For His mercy forever endureth.
Else it never had waited for me-;
His life my salvation ensureth,-
And thine, for Heewaiteth for thee!
Never old,-even new the sweet story
OF Christ, the Redfemer of men;
When grace is TRANSPORTED to glory,
May we sing it together again.

The B. z. Johnson Publishing Co.,
of Richmond, Va, a just issued in
tasteful form the civil History Of the
Government Of the Confederate States,
with some Personal "reminiscences" by
j. L. NJ. Curry Ii. d. author OF sever
al valuable works. He is the able
secretary of the Peabody Fund that
has been so servicable to h south.
We have found DR.. Curry a very en-
pertaining. thoughtful and excellent
writer. His addresses are always
good, and we have e no ADLER one
from a southern man in a decade than
his address before the University OF
Chicago, a year or two since. He was
a DISTINGUISHED leading member of the
Confederate congress. We heard the
late Chief Justice w. n. II. Smith say
in the war, hat he regarded DR.. Curry
as the ablest nan in h Confederate
house. This new book cannot fail to
Interest and entertain coming from
such a heightened, honorable, able and
accomplished southern gentleman. DR..
Curry says in his volume:
IF this little volume shall remove
an prejudice or throw any clearer
1igf5 on historical and constitutional
truths, the author will receive ample
reIH u%neration for the time and labor
he has given to it's preparation"
He also says well in the first chap
ter that while many volumes have re-
corded the glorious deeds of captains
and the endurance and g%allantry of
those who amid the weary waiting
for help which never came accomplish
ed marvels of manhood and patriot
ISM the underlying principles and
of secession still lack under-

Watonga, o. 4. Feb. 20.
For The past few days a rumor
has been in persistent circulation
that there was serious trouble
between Watonga and theChoctaw
railroad company. There is no
truth in the report that a COM
pany has been formed TO build q
town two miles 20 the north of
this place, because Of the failure
Of tie city TO give the railroad
company the amount Of the bonus
asked. How such rumors get
out IS best known TO those who
circulate them, and are only done
to accomplish some selfish ends.
The Choctaw railroad company
agreed that for q sum Of $40, 600
ilwould build their road through
and a depot ~ the city Of Watonga.

and the railroad win do as it has

ARREST OF A WOMAN.
Margaret Snyder Supposed to Be of
Unsound Mind.

Patrolman Doss Shaffer arrested a woman
Yesterday morning giving her name as
Margaret Snyder as being of unsound mind
woman aIighted from a Vandalia train
at 5 o'clock with a little girl about six
years old. She wandered about the Union
Station until 8 o'clock, when her queer
actions attracted the attention OF Oficer
Shaffer, who sent her TO the police sta
ton. During the afternoon Police Surgeon
Christian and Justice of the Peace Stout
called at the station and questioned the
woman.
She says she has been here for several
weeks, boarding with a family named Spen-
Ger, who own the Spencer House." Her
business here she says is looking after two
large modern houses ION Lacleade street"
this city, for which she receives $50 per
month for each. She says her home is in
Evansville, and that she resides at 1893
Upper Second street. She has no rela-
tives except her mother, who resides with
her, she says. She also told the police that
her husband. up to the time of his death
three years ago, was captain OF a fleet of
boats on the Ohio river. The husband, at
his death, left her a fortune of sec. 600. she
said. The woman was poorly clad, wearing
a shirtwaist of light cloth and a brown
skirt of poor material. She wore tan
colored slippers, which showed much wear.
The little girl, whom she called Ruth Ma
ria, was frail looking.
