The Swine or the FIowsr7

All mel I saw a huge and 1oathsome styI'
Wherein a drove of wallowing swine
were barred,
Whose banquet shocked the nostrn and
the eye;
Then spoke a voice, "Behold the source
of 1ard!''
I fed, and saw a field that seemed at first
One glistening mass of roses pure and
white,
With dewy buds mid dark green foliage
nursed;
And, as I fingered DER the lovely sight,
The summer breeze, that cooled that
Southern scene,
Whispered, =" Behold the source Of
COTTOLENEP"

 That Grandad would often tell
 and for years We younger people have heard our elders tell about the fellows who fled down from the north, nearly fifty years ago, along the ''Old Missoari Road" with a wonderful amount of treas ure rifled from the vaults of bank Tn one of the frontier towns of Missouri. To facilitate their escape, and to prevent the recov- cry of the treasure, 1t was buried on the "old Zeke Phillips place." a few miles north of Fayetteville. and the strangers fled on towards the south. The days of civil war wrought great changes, and the spot could not be located by the surviving free booter when he sought for the buried money after peace was made between the war ring states. Others searched at intervals adown the years until few days ago when 1t Is said that the hidden prize was resurrected, but deep mystery pervades the rumor of the finding, and not one of the searehers will acknowledge the success of their trials with magnetic treasure-hnding appar- atus.
