An went the knight with sword and aliteld
To tour’iiy or to battlefield,
Pledged to the lady fah and true,
For whom his knightly sword he drew;
You offered at your country’s call
“Your life, your fortune, and your all;”
Pledging your sacred honor high
For her to live, for her lo die;
tVith her you cast your future lot,
And now, wiihout one single spot
To dim the brightness of your fame
Or cast a shadow o’er your name,
You lay your sword with honor down,
And wear defeat as ’twere a crown;
Nor sit disc Marius brooking o’er
A ruin which can rise no more;
But from your Pavia hear aw ay
A glory biight’riing every day.
Above the wreck which round you lies,
Calm and serene I sec you rise,
A grand embodiment of Pride
Chastened by sorrow, and allied
To disappointment but to show
How bright your virtue ncath it gl >w
Bui who may tell how deep the dart
Is rankling in your noble heart,
Or dare to pu/7 the robe aside
Which Caesar draws Ins wounds to hide

Ammiug lucMc'jst ou u steam
er.
While lying at Shreveport, one trip,
taking on freight and passengers lor
New Orleans, a short, stumpy, stoop
shouldered “customer,” dressed in
homespun, with a sandy, stubby, shag,
gy beard covering bis face, an umbrel
la under his arm, and a small valise
in his hand, made his way ou board
and inquired for tbe captain. The olli
eer being pointed out lie approached
him in a timid manner, and said he
was in groat trouble, and desired to
impart a secret to him if he would be
friend him. The captain promised to
do all lie could, and the stranger said
he was a Methodist preacher; that lie
had been traveling and preaching m
Texas: that lie it ad reached Shreve
port early that morning on horse-back,
and that during the day lie had sold
his horse lor one hundred and fifty
dollars to a man named Black, that a
few hunts alter the sale Black had
come back and demanded the return of
a portion of the purchase money, on
the ground the horse was unsound, and
not what he. had been represented.
Upon his reinsal lo revoke the trade
and return the money Black had threat
ened to give him a sound thrashing,
and thus obtain the worth of it, and
that fearing lie would be as good as his
word he had promised lo relund, for
the purpose ol getting away, and since
then he had tried to keep a sale dis
tance between them. But upon com
ing on board the steamer lie hail dis
covered his enemy there apparently in
waiting tor him, and now feared his
life was in danger, and he wished the
CaptaiH to befriend and protect him.
Now tile Captain wasaman who
was extremely loud of a good thing,
and he neve! permiled a chance lor fun
to escape him, lie was an excellent
and experienced hand at playing a
practical joke, and being a good judge
of human nature, too, ite thought his
subject too good a one to let pass.—
Promising the mt'uistei to do all lie could
in the case, he left Ititn to attend to
other matters, for a time.
It seems that Black had been' badly
tuKen in on the horse trade, and he had
made an effort to have the matter
straightened. Failing in this, he had
given the thing up as a swindle, and
and thought no more about the mat
ter.
lie had taken passage on the Doub
loon, not knowing anything about the
preacher being there, and as he was in
feeble health he hud retired to his room
without having seen the preacher at
all.
Shortly after dark the boat trot under
way bound down the river, and the
preacher soon after found his way to
the Captain again repeating his fears.
The Captain showed his victim to a
stateroom and told him to lock himself
in tiiere, while lie went to see if a com
promise could not be effected.
Early next morning the Captain
went to ins victim’s room and stated
tiiat 13iaeii was in a terrible state of ex
citement, swearing wrath and veng
eance upon every one ::i general, and
Methodist preachers in particular, that
it was out of the question to pacify
him under the circumstance\ and bis
advice was not to show himself in the
cabin during that day ut least. Upon
leaving the piea dier he promise ! to do
his “bud best” to fix tilings strait—-
The preacher now locki and and bolted
himself in tur protection. Braaklast
came, and then dinner, and st;U the
preacher lasted; and in no amiable
state of mind, Kept ins door well fast
ened. During the alteruoon the Cap
tain again found hiswaytothe preach
er's room, and after satisfying him lie
was not ins enemy, he was admitted
inside. He then stated that the ex
citement outside ii id not abated at all;
infact it was higher titan ever, and it
was out ot the question for any thing
to be done yet. The minister said he
was getting very hungry and wished
the Captain to have some iood sent to
iiis room. The Captain said it was im
possible, that Black was constantly on
the qui vivc, knowing lie was on board
some where, and if any one was seen
going to a room with food it would be
well known who it was for, an.i he
would not he responsible for the Con
sequences.
Alter dark while the Captain went to
the outside of his victim’s room, get
ting on a stool, in a deep sonorous'
voice, he called out: “Come out of that
room, you sanctified, hj pocrilical old
horse-thief. If you don’t come out
and do the fair thing, I’ll follow yon to
the end ot tlie earth, and will then
break every bone in your carcass.”—
Looking through the transom light, the
captain saw his victim on the floor,
under the lower berth, as close to the
bidkhead as he could crouch himself,
and presenting a rather undignified ap
pearance for a preacher, blit for once
in his life praying in real earnest. —
Leaving him in this situation, he relir'-
ed to his room for the night. Earlv
next morning he again visited his vic
tim. and invited him out to take a drink,
as Black was then asleep in his room.
Being sadly in need of something stim
ulating, he very readily consented, and
while the drinks were undeigoing pre
paration, the captain asked the bar
keeper il he had noticed anything un
usual in Black’s movements the night
previous. Tht barkeeper said he had
seen him in the barber'sbop cleaning a
double barrelled shot gun, and when
asked what he was going to do with it
lie said tie intended to shoot a rascally
preacher who had sold him a diseased
horse. The minister with wild and
frightened look said, “he certainly
meant me,” and barely taking tune to
swallow his “cocktail,” lie was soon
locked in his room again. Shortly be
fore breakfast time, tne captain, think
ing his victim suflicienely punished,
went to Black and asked liovv much he
would he willing to take to settle that
horse affair., Alter a little further ex
planation he said fifty dollars would
satisfy him. thereupon the Captain
went to his victim and reported pro
gress, saying that for seventy-live dol
lars he could “lix things” all right and
pacify Black completely. The preach
er readily counted out the money and
the captain soon after gave Black fifty.
The barkeeper received the balance to
treat all hands, and while all were
drinking each other’s health, the min
ister, with sunken and swallow visage,
and in a humble tone, said, “Gentle
men, day before yesterday I tilled up
these clothes, and now look at them.”
There was vacant space enough inside
his waistband for another ordinary
sized man. It wasn’t long, however,
before a large pottion of the space was
filled again.
Black said lie could have enjoyed
the joke better il be bad been let into
the secret in time to have lent his as
sistance. The preacher in due time
reached New Orleans in safety, and so
ended his memorable horse trade, and
li is trials and tribulations.
Where the Laugh Came I.v. —Mr.
Bunco’s and Sizer’s farms adjoined
each other. Sizer had an unruly sheep
which was in the habit of getting into
Buuee’s field. Btince expostulated
with Sizer several times, and told him
it he didn’t keep his sheep at home he
would fix hint so he would’nt jump
any more fences. But Bunco soon
found the sheep again ; so he
caught him, and with a knife servered
the cuticle or skin just beyond the
gainbriel joint, and between tho main
cord and bone, then thrust the other
hind leg thro’ the aperture, and .then
put the sheep hack over the fence,
which went off hobbling on three legs.
Sizer soon after discovered the saJ
plight his sheep was in, and he knew
very well who was the cause of it, but
he concluded to take things coolly, and
wait some suitable opportunity to re"
venge himself. Presently Bunce’s old
SOW broke into Sizer’s field, when he
caught her, and with a sharp knife cut
her mouth from ear to ear, and turned
her back into the field. When Bunce
discovered this he went to Sizer’s in a
great rage, and demanded of him wliat
he did that lor. Sizer said, “Upon my
word, neighbor Bunce, 1 didn’t do any
such a tiling. 1 our old sow split her
mouth laughing at my sheep through
the J'cnct,"
