from many voices in treble, tenor,

and waving his sword, shouted to
them to Remember the Alamo, /"
they dashed after him into the very
jaws of death. The soldiers of Will
kinson repaired to their homes, but
the Texas rangers were considered the
guests of the county. Several were
remarkably handsome, and highly ed
ucated. I we'll remember q Captain
Chevalier, from Richmond, Va. He
soon selected q young and beautiful
heiress, on whom to bestow his atten-
tions; his large dark eyes melted as he
led her to the piano, assisted her to
mount her superb steed, but flashed
the fires of hades when rival claim
ed the same privilege, ! witnessed
much of the wooing, as the pair were
often at my fathers. Captain Chew
alier greatly captivated my childish
imagination, and I associated him
with Apollo, Adonis and the Greek
heroes then read Of. He fingered a
year pleading with the sweet Missis-
sippi girl for her favor then went to
Virginia, while she bestowed her
hand on a young sugar planter of the
coast. Of all these brave men I can
remember none living but my old
kinsman, Col. Jas. y. Stewart, of
Jackson, who was one of the crowned
heroes of Wilkinson county, then his
home. He and I have often talked of
these incidents. Col. Stewart loved
a sister of Chevalier's enamorata, who
also had, as sutton, Gen'ls. Writ
Adams, Harry Hays and a host of
others. You young readers will
doubtless enjoy the love passages of
fair women and brave men, but fear

Again give you paper from the
tablet OF memory of sixty years ago.
The perusal of the details of the re-
union at Louisville, Ky, suggests the
recollections of the return ,of these
same veterans after our disastrous
revolution-they came by twos and
threes-ragged, weary and often sick.
I have no heart to continue that pict-
ure, but turn to the triumphant entry
of the fine company of veterans who
went out to Gen'l. Taylor's rescue,
in Mexico, during the 40's, from Will
kinson, my native county. One hun
dred men left for the battle field in
fine uniform, with banners flying, and
about 80 came back at the termination
of the war-some had previously re-
turned sick or wounded-a few had
been killed or died. / was a child,
but we'll do l remember the proud
band as they stepped off the cars on
the old railroad, still plying between
ST. Francisville and Woodville. A
vast crowd met our heroes with a
martial band playing; young girls
scattered, from pretty baskets, flowers
in their path to the court house, where
they were first received. Mature
young ladies stood awaiting them
there, laurel wreathes on their fair
arms. Each soldier bowed his head
while on his brow was placed this
signet of victory. An address of
welcome was delivered by one of the
orators of the time, after which all
rode out to the barbecue ground where
the crowd participated in dancing till
dinner was announced-suc dinners
as those old planters and their slave
cooks knew how to prepare-cu rried
squirrels, turtle pies, venison pasties
and fried trout. What was too good
for our returned soldier boys. Pastures,
poultry yards and fish ponds all con-
tributed to that banquet. Doubtless
'ean de vie' was also in quantity and
quality on that ever to be remembered
occasion, but saw no sign of intoxi-
cation, as | sat demurely beside my
mother, watching the handsome, dash
ing soldiers leading the lovely girls
out to dance in the stately quaddrills
under the improvised arbcr and the
respectful but often impetuous love-
making. These boys had gotten back
from the yellow Mexican scources to
their own fair waters. The revelry
continued till dark, when carriages,
buggies and horses transported the
gay crowd to their respective homes.
A dozen or more Texas rangers had,
after being mustered out, joined the
Wilkinson rifles on their route home,
most of them being from Kentucky
and Notwithstanding characters,
loving adventure, and admiriDg Col !.

lancers, the Texas rangers. One and

It doesen't pay to try to pafs your

1t doesn't pay to lie, for your lies
