FROM AMONG THE ROBBERS OF
THE WEST
WRITTEN FOR THE ATLANTA HERALD.
In the year 1868,1 went to Texas for the
purpose of winding up my professional busi
ness in a wealthy neighborhood in which I
had practiced medicine for more than seven proved in health, I returned to complete my
years before the war.
The location to which I refer, having been
made in a very early day, by the first Secre
tary of State, and afterwards settled in by
other pioneers of scarcely less note for moral
and intellectual worth, it was then considered
as one of the yery best neighborhoods in all
that section of the State. And wbat so mnch
surprised me was that that elevated standard
had been so little lowered during
the demoralizing influences of the war.
Science, literature, and indeed every
avocation of business, was steadily moving on
ward and upward, as if no great calamity bad
come over the land. But, as t)ie sequel will
show, it was doomed at last to share the com
mon fate of this, our once happy but now dis
rupted South. A few disorganized soldiers
from the broken up armies began to settle in
upon the western border, and by the aid of
more distant accomplices, so secretly run off
stock and otherwise disturbed the good people
that it was quite difficult at first to detect the
exact source of trouble. It was, however, in
that rather suspicious quarter that I was in
collections, and was much surprised to fiud
the entire neighborhood in a perfect lrenzy
over the rumor that the robbers had assem
bled in force to deliver the jails of their com
rades, and then raid upon the defenceless
give counsel or adhere to it, carry it into
effect, or buy ecclesiastical property, that not
only what they have done, or will do, is
worthless, noli and void, but that they all
have incurred the major excommunication
and other censures and ecclesiastical penal
ties inflicted according to the holy canons,
the apostolic constitutions, aiid the decrees
of the general councils, but especially by
that of Treat, that they incur the most
severe vengeance of heaven, and that they
are in manifest danger of eternal damnation.
And now, venerable brethren,
necessary means of supporting onr supreme
ministry aro more and more diminished,
while outrage is added to outrage to the pre
judice of sacred persons and things, while the
persecutors of the Church, both here and in
foreign lands, seem to conspire altogether

I was seated iu the back porch pleasantly

I readily understood was only for a pretext to
draw their weapons and shoot me as if by ac

the house and drew from my musty pill wal

too rusty for use, I buckled it around me, and
resumed my seat on the lounge, to devise
some other means of defense. By that time

The day happened to be very warm, and my
long ride of more than fif teen miles through
the hot sun, brought on a violent chill, fol
lowed by such an intense fever that I was
compelled on my arrival to ask of my friend
the coolest and most retired room of the house,
so that I could best endure my almost insuf
ferable headache. I had, however, scarcely
layed myself fully at rest upon a soft and spa-
est pleading in my behalf.
In the most dreadful suspense, I crept close

everywhere by works worthy of the most hap

Bishops arouse for this end their priests, and
the pastors their flocks, so that all of us, pros

our desolation; not on our own justification,

would be. We opened the door to behold a

were giris, and taken altogether, I think
were the prettiest I ever saw, were frantically
moving about the room and came piteously
imploring us to do something for what they

much for the suffering womau, lor she lay

on stooping close to detect some
signs of life, I beard a very faint
whisper that referred in some way to her hus
band as robber. This, in connection with
what tbe ladies had told me, left no grounds
to doubt that her afflictions were from deep
trouble, that was wearing out the very vitals
of her existence, and knowing, too, that such
nevous depressions were often followed by
very rapid recoveries, I was encouraged to
vigorous treatment, under which the parox
ysm soon began to relax, and, as the pulse
slowly arose, she quietly sunk into a refresh
ing sleep, which we patiently indulged until,
finding it time to go, one of the visitors famil
iarly spoke, when she opened her beautiful,
bright eyes in all the vigor of full conscious
ness, and, being sorprised to see around
the lady friends she thought had de
serted her, she began to caress them,
one by one, as she heard from each a confes
sion of neglect, and a statement of how they
bad come and brought me her aid. Then
turning to me and extending her pale, bony
hand, exclaimed, in all the candor of a wo
man's heart:
“My good friend, I do not know how to ex
press to yon my heartfelt gratitude for coming
in your own afflictions to mine. But what
mortifies me most is, that I have no money at
command to compensate you for this timely
service, for the little means left me a few
weeks ago by my husband is now nearly ex
hausted, and when that is out, God only
knows where I shall get more to keep my
self and family from suffering. **

tbe other day, when a waiter in an eating
house carefully deposited a beet steak with
trimmings on his shoulders, emptied a cup of

There has been a lively literary interest to
ascertain the authorship of tbe line, “Though
lost to sight to memory dear.” lluthven Jen-
kyns wrote the following in 1701, and pub
lished the same in the Greenwich Magazine:
Sweetheart, good-by ! the fluttering sail
I* spread to waft me far from thee;
And soon before the fav'rlug galo
My ship shall bound upon the s*>a.
Perchance, all desolate and Mm,
These eye* shall miss thee many a year.
But unforgotten evory.cbarm—
Though lost to sight, to metn’ry dear.
Sweetheart, good-by ! one last embrace!
O, cruel fate, true souls to sever !
Yet. in this heart's moat sacred place,
Thou, thou aioue shall dwell forever!
And Mtill, shall recollectlou trace
