THE LAST TRIP
(To Fred NJ. Searcy)

ITO fTeu M. SeaTCyD
The following came to US from Jar
bidge. 1t will be remembered that
Fred Searcy was the stage driver who
was shot and killed last December
when the mail stage was held up:
The Sage speeds down
Toward Jarbidge town
The Driver. his heart is light:
In the iron rack
Lies the money-sack.
With the mail secure and tight.
And he feels content
And confident
That he'll land it in town this night.
The road is rough,
And the going is tough
Through the hills that are cold and
bare.
But he feels like one
With work well done,
And is glad he will soon be there;
And thoughtlessly
He fails to see
The treacherous, hidden snare.
Foul Murders head.
Rears up so red,
Behind her hideth Greed:
The crack of gun.
And the deed is done
A soul from a body freed.
And thieves with ease
The Booty seize
And vanish with lightning speed
And the murdered Boy,
The pride and JOY
OF his Mother, as we all know.
Has paid the price
| To Avarice-
His life-blood stains the snow.
And the night.wind stirs
In the pines and mrs
And sobs at the sight below.
The hills low down
And darkly frown
On that gruesome. piteous sight
For they feel the breath
or the Angel Death.
And they hear her footstep light
In the twilight dim
As she comes to him
And bears him into the night.
Farewell. Old Pal
So genial
So faithful, tried and true
We will hope and pray
When comes the day
In which we are summoned, too,
At our post well be
Found Stcadfastly,
As staught to our trust as you.
