here the pibroch wailng
Amidst the din of fight,
And my dim spirit wakes again
II Upon tho verge of night.
II was I that led the Highland host
Through wild Lochaber's SHOWS,
What time. the plaided clans came
down l
TO battle with Montrose.
1 've told thee how the Southrons fell
Beneath the broad claymorc,
And how we smotc the Campbell clan
BY Jnvcrlochys shore.
| we told thee how we swept Dundee,
And tam'd the Lindsay's pride;
But never have told thee yet
How the great Marquis died.
A traitor sold him to his foes;
O deed of dcathlcss shame!
| charge thee, boy, if e'er thou meet
With one Of Assynt's name
} Be it upon, the mountains side,
Or yet within the glen,
Stand he in martial gear alone,
Or back'd by armed men
Face him, as thou wouldst face the
Who wrong'd thy sire's renown;
Remember of what blood thou art,
And strike the caitiff down.
They brought him to the Watergate,
Hard bound with hempen span,
AS though they held lion there,
And not Il fcnceless man.
They set him high upon cart.
The hangnlan rode below,
They drew his hands behind his back
And bard his noble brow.
Then, as hound is slipp'd from leash,
They cheer'd tho common throng,
And blew the note with yell and shout
And babe him pass along.
1t would have made a brave mans
heart
Grow sad and sick that day,
; TO watch the keen malignant eyes
Bent down on that array,
There stood the Wing wcst.country
lords,
In balcony and bow;
There sat their gaunt and wither'd
danes,
And their daughters all arrow.
And every open window
Was full as full might be
With black-robd Covenanting carries,
That goodly sport to see!
But when he came, though pale and
wan,
He look'd SO great and high,
So noble was his manly front,
So calm his steadfast eye,
The rabble rout forbore to shout,
And each man held his breath,
For well they knew the hero's soul
s Was face to face with death.
And then momnful shudder
Through all the people crept,
And some that came to scott at him
s Now turn'd aside and wept.
; But EDWARDS always EDWARDS,
s In silence and in gloom,
s The dreary pageant labor'd,
: Till it rcach'd the house of doom.
; Then first womans voice was heard
; In jcer and laughter loud,
s And an angry cry and hiss arose
5 From the heart of the tossing
I crowd:
) Then as the Graeme look'd upwards,
s 1Io saw the ugly smile
5 Of him who sold his king for gold,
; Tho mastcr-liend Argyle!
; The Marquis gazd moment,
s And nothing did he say,
s But the cheek of Argyle grew CHASTITY
; pale
s And he turn'd his eyes away.
{STho painted harlot by his side,

Amidst their mobiles NIL.
But there was dust Of vulgar feet
On that polluted floor,
And perjur'd traitors fill'd tho place
Where good men sate before.
With savage glee came Warristoun
10 read the murdorous doom;
And then uprose the great Montrose
In the middle of the room.
"Now, by my faith as beltcd knight,
And by the name l bear,
And BY tho bright Saint Andrews

Yea, by a greater, mighticr oath
And oh, that such should be!

A wreath of such renown,
Nor dar'd hope on my dying day
TO win the martyrs crown!

Tho morning dawn'd full darkly,
The rain came flashing down,
And the jagged streak of the levin
bolt
Lit up the gloomy town:
The thunder crash'd across the heaven,
The fatal hour was come;
Yet aye broke in with muffled beat
The 'larum Of the drum.
There was madness on the earth below
And anger in the sky,
And young and old, and rich and poor,
Came forth to see him die.
All, God. that CHASTITY gibbet!
How dismal It is to see
Tho great tall spectral skeleton,
The ladder and the tree!
Hark bark! it is tho clash AT arms
Tho bells begin to toll

Ono last long peal of thunder:
The clouds are clear'd away,
And the glorious sun once more looks

Amidst the dazzling day.
Gle is coming! he is coming!"
Like a bridegroom from his room,
Came the hero from his prison
TO the scatfold and the doom.
There was glory on his forehead,
There was luster in his eye,
And he never walk'd to battle
More proudly than to die;
There was color in his visage,
! Though the cheeks of all We're wan,
And they marvell'd as they saw him
pass,
That great and goodly man!
He mounted up the scaffold,
And he turn'd him to the crowd;
But they dar'd not trust the people,
So he might not speak aloud.
But he look'd upon the heavens,
And they were clear and blue,
And in the liquid ether
The eye of God shone through;
Yet a black and murky battlement
Lay resting on the hill,
As though the thunder slept within
All else was calm and still.
The grim Geneva ministers
With anxious scowl drew near,
AS you have seen the ravens flock
Around the dying deer.
He would not deign them word nor
sign,
But alone he bent the knee,
And vei'd his face for Christ's dear
grace
Beneath the gallows-tree,
Then radiant and serene he rose,
And cast his cloak away;
For he had ta'cn his latest look
OF earth and sun and day.
A beam of light fell DER him,
Like a glory round the shriven,
And he clim'd the lofty ladder
AS it were the path to heaven,
Then came flash from out the cloud
And stunning thunder-roll;

GROSS MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE

The most disgracefu miscarriage Of JUS
ticc known in Wake court, certainly this
year. was the acquittal yesterday of a wo-
man whose feet take hold on hell'' tried
for selling beer on Sunday in a bad house
in this city
The evidence was plain, conclusive
overwhelming, and she should have been
convicted. Evidence in such cases is diff
cult to obtain, but in this case Mayor
Powell had secured evidence that was so
plain that there was no reason why the
person on trial was not convicted.
The acquittal of this woman is a pub
lie scandal. If, with such evidence, that
woman could escape conviction, then the
&C urts are impotent to protect the peo-
pie from such violators of the law.
II is notorious lat this woman runs
an illegal house it was established by
truthful and unwilling witnesses that
there had been beer bought and drunk
in her house, and yet she is acquitted,
To add to the wrong, it is stated that
upon former occasion, she was indicted
and Judgment was suspended on pay
ment of costs"
1t ought not to be necessary for the
citizens OF this community to organize
Law and Order League in order to secure
the convictions of such law-breakers, and
yet it seems that that very thing must
be done if convictions are expected in the
courts. The people of Raleigh and Wake
county pay enough tax to secure prop
er administration of justice, without be-
ing required to raise fund to Grive out
these lawbreakers. And yet, will not Raj
eigh have to organize a Law and Order
League?
This paper has more IMAM once criticized
the city administration for not enforcing
the law, but in this case they acted with
wisdom and the evidence was so plain that
the public will be astounded when they
learn that the woman was acquitted.

To-day.

"Will you send a bill of indictment

jury of this term of court?'' asked a News

"The bill has already been drawn and
will be sent to the grand jury tomorrow"

This is the utmost that the solicitor can
do in the case so far. 1t is now for the
grand jury to find "a true bill, or mot

there is evidence of conspiracy against
the men accused of conspiring to injure

road, the property of the State and pri-
vate stockholders.
Yesterday "Cappen Bilday" appeared in
court and asked Judge Brown to set a
day for the trial of the McBeeF Finch case.
The judge replied that as the grand jury
had not yet returned a true bill he could
not of course take any cognizance of the
case.

BARELY ESCAPED DEATH.
Negro Got on and off Moving Train at
Union Depot.

Henry CoWen, a negro employed by the
Southern Express Company, has only good
fortune to thank that he is still alive to-
day, though two or thre eof his ribs are
broken
CoWen tried the always dangerous eX-
pertinent OF getting off moving train.
He had no business on the train, but eVi-
IDENTIFY wanted to ride a short distance
and then alight gracefully. But his
aiighting was nearly death step.
CoWen had finished his work when the
afternoon Southern Railway train, west
bound, started out. He stepped upon the
platform back OF the express car, rode
a short distance down the platform and
then stepped off. The train was moving
rapidly ard the man slid along on his
feet and then fell in towards the NOV
ing train. His body was moving in to-
wards the train as the car steps struck
him on the shoulder, side and hips, swing
ing him completely around, but fortu-
nGtely throwing him away from the train.
Had the steps not struck him he would
undoubtedly have gone between the plat
form and the train and have been crushed
to death.
He lay still and groaned, saying 10 was
badly hurt and was in great pain. A ply
stefan was telephoned for, but the in
structions were to send him to Rex Hos
pital so he was placed on a stretcher
and taken there in the express wagon.
At the hospital an examination showed
that two or three ribs were broken these
being on the right side, where he was
struck by the steps. He was given all
medical attention possible and was doing
well late last night.
