Thcro in no death I The mars go down
To raise upon some fairer shore ;
Ami bright ill 7/esvcn’s jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
There is no death I Th c dust we tread
Shill change beneath the summer shows-
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow tinted dowers.
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear,
she forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
Thera is no death I The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away ;
They only wait through wintry hours.
The coming of the May.
There is no death I An angal form
tr»lks o’er the earth with silent tread i
lie bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them' -dead.”
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
He plucks our fnircst, sweetest flowers,
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
7hc bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Make glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree of life.
Ami where he sees a amile too bright,
Or hearts too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light.

Born unto that undying life.

Except in sin and pain.

Thoro dwelt in California, some years
ago, tbreo friends, wild fellows enough,
who had seemingly linked their for
tunes for hotter or worso, and who,
whatever thoir luck, woro constantly
ia each other’s company.
These young mon were Charles
Chostor, Harry Bray, and Edward
Warren. They woro moro brotherly
than many brothers, moro akin than
many kinsmen. Truo to each other
oven when women and money were
between them. Damon and Pythias,
with a twin Pythias added. For a
lone; time had they boon very poor ; at
last fortune favored them. Each had
a certain sum, by no moans oomtempti
blo, stowed away in the leathern bolt
he woro about liis waist. Each car
ried a gold watch, and oach woro a
suit of clothes supposed by himself to
bujlio latest style and choicest fashion.
Moreover, their revolvers woro perfect,
silver-mounted, and rejoicing in a mul
tiplicity of barrels; for, without those
it would be quite impossible to main
tain a position in this quarter of the
world in any socioty.
How they camohy those possessions
wo will not inquire too particularly.
They wero neither burglars nor high
wayman, but dico and betting may
havo helped thorn to tho winning of
their little fortunes. They wore not
over scrupulous'; but they would havo
knocked down any man who had neg
lected to address them as gentlemen,
and used those wonderful revolvers
promptly on any “strangor” who ob
jected to drinking with them, and, con
toquontly, stood rather high in the
community. Certainly, in thoir con
duct to each othor they wero faultless
ly honorable and miraculously gener
ous.
One day, soon after‘‘luck” hadcomo
to its rest, a letter, directed in a wo
man’s tremulous band, to “Charlos
Chester,” was banded to that member
of tho trio, in the presonco of tho oth
er two. Tho young fellow seized it oa
gorly, tore it open, read it through,
and, tearing off his bolt, spread its con
tents bo.fore him upon tho table, and
counted it over. Having done so, bo
burst into tears, and very unwisely and
profanely cursed himself for extrava
gance, all sorts of uncomfortable things
here and hereafter, a proceeding which
seems to roleive somo m«n considera
bly, though why, it would puzzle the
unenlightenod to declare. The cause
°f all this, as his comrades soon dis
covered, was that his mother had writ
ten to him from her little farm in a
Southern State to tell him a doleful
tale of sickness, death among the stock,
etc., and a final crash. A mortgage
Tas almost due, and, as tho old people
would find it impossible to meet it, they
would bo sold out and loft homeless in
their old ago. “It will kill your fath
er>” wrote the mothor, “and I will die
With him.”
“I did it all,” said tho yourf£ fellow,
sobbing openly. “My debts and my
wild ways incumbered thorn at first,
and now look.”
And ho pointed to the gold upon tho
“bio, and began bis profane litany
fgam. The mortgagae was $3,000, and
ho bad but $2,000.
“Is that all?” cried Nod Warren,
hauling out his belt.
pood heavens ! What does he take
us for?” cr i e< j Harry Bray, furiously.
lvo hundred apeice, and tho ex
pense of the journey are about tho fig-
Ur °. There, go to tho old folks. Wo’ll
800 hbout your horso while you pack
your bags.”
This set the other at his oaths
“gam; but in a joyful stylo this time,
'ey were trumps and bricks, and by
vry thing ha could think of ho’d do
ur them if thoro were any need of
, “He’d pay them back, if he lived’
and then—ho’d bless them.” and so ho
chocked off into sobs again, at which
they loft him to recover, roturnod with
a horso and a well-filled pockot-flask,
and saw him set forth upon liis mis
sion ns though tho “old folks” had
boon their old folks too.
They waited for nows from him, but
none came.
Tlioy waited quietly at first, then im
patiently. At last they heard this :
Ho had never been soon at homo, or
by any ono who knew him biace tho
day on winch they had shaken hands
with him. Some terrible fate had be
fallen him in tho lonely places over
which ho had journeyed alone. Tc
doubt him never entered thoir minds.
That ho was as truo to them as they
to him thoy well knew, and one thought
filled ouch mind. They must discovor
his fate, and, i£ it wore what they sup
posed, avenge him.
So, ono bright morning, woll moun
ted, well armed, and followed by a fa
vorite dog, a hound, which by no
means would bo left behind, tho two
set forth in search of thoir lost com
rado. They took tho road ho must
havo taken, and asked at every tavern
and cabin for nows of him. One old
man remombered him well; another
man pointed out tho dangerous placo
in tho road leading past a precipice to
a man of his lost friend’s description ;
but at that point the clno was lost.
Astor much travel and many inquiries,
our comi-ados began to fear that they
should havo paused to examino the
rocks and ravines at tho foot of tho pre
cipice alluded to, ere thoy proceeded
further, and determined to turn back
and do so. They came to this resolu
tion about nightfall, and just as thoy
reached tho borders of a little farm,
which boro evidence of careful tillage.
Upon this land also stoodja farm houso,
from tho crevices in the shutters of
which stroamod long bars of ruddy
lamp-light, and whcnco the sound of
musio was plainly heard. It was the
only dwelling within sight.
“We will stay hero,'’ said ono friend
to another, “until dawn, and thon re
turn.”
That tho houso was not an inn did
not matter to either of thorn. Hospi
tality was nover refused in tho land to
anyone at that day.
They rodo boldly up to tho gato and
gave a loud holloo. In an instant tho
door opened, and they could see with
in a sudden panic in a lively dance, as
all heads turned to soe what had caus
ed this interruption.
“Can you let us sleep here to night?’
inquired one of tho friends, as one asks
who fears no refusal.
“Certainly, gentleman,” said a pleas
ant voice, “You'ro weleomo. You’ll
fin 1 a stable there, and corn for your
horsos. Our man Jack is on tho floor
to night; but here is a lantern if you’ll
tend to yourselves.”
“All right, stranger.” Said Harry,
“and thank ycu, too.”
Tho two men led their horses into a
stable already full. Nod watered them,
and secured them Tor tho night, and
would havo loft the stable at ono, but
that one of the animals attracted Har
ry’s attention. Ho turned back to
look at him ; examined him from head
to foot, turned rod and palo, and sud
denly clutched Ned’s arm.
“You remember tho horso wo
bought for Charlos Chester?” ho ask
ed.
“Yes,” said Ned.
“Look at tho fellow,” said Harr}’.
“Yes, tho vory one. The star on the
forehead, t.no scar on bis foreleg, tho
color, tho lioight ’ Nod, its Charley s
horso !”
“It is the horse,'’ said Ned, slowly.
“Harry, if Charley had lived to go, his
horso would havo gono with him.
“Tho owner of this animal may
know all wo want to hoar,” said Har
ry. “It won’t bo good news, Ned. ’
Nod shook his head, and sadly and
slowlv toward tho houso. They found
tho dancing at its height, and that
this was tho home-coming of the far
mer’s bride, a pretty young, woman,
with rosy chocks and sparkling eyes,
of whom tho stalwart bridgegroom
seemed vory fond and proud.
“Sit down strangers,” said an old
man near the door. “You’vo como at
a inorry time, and don t get much .at
tention. My son is just tho happiest
fellow out, I believe ; got no •yos for
nobody but that gal. You see, they’ve
been waitin quite a spoil, and he ha
no luck, none at all, and it seemed
he’d got to give it up, but six mouths
back ho had a streak. Woderful!—ex
plained it, but I don't remomber, so
ho sends for her and me from Connec
ticut. She’s an orphan gal, and as
soon as her school term was over—sho
was teacher, ye know—she come. This
is their warming, and them’s tho
neighbors. They all like Ike. Ike s
a good follow—a real good follow,
though I say it Take a nip, stran
gers ; don’t bo afraid of tho jug ; 1.1
fill it again. Why, ails your
dog left outeido was howling
rather fearfully. .
“Wants to como in, porkaps, said
Nod, but it mightn’t be agreeable to
tho'ladios.”
‘‘Bring him in,’ stud tho old man ,
but tho clog would not como.
He stood beside a patch of grass in
the garden, howling woofully, and
scratching and tearing with all his
m j K ht Leave the spot ho would not,
and the friends, when they saw him,
and romemborod the horse in the sta
ble, felt the blood curdle m thoir
“Whose horso is that with a white
star on the forehead, and a scar on bis
foreleg,—a handsome brown horse
with wonderful eyes ? whispered
I Harry to the old man.
DAWSON. GA., THURSDAY, MAY 25, 1871.
“That’s my son’s horse,” said tho old
man.
“Whoro did ho buy it?” askod tho
other.
“Don’t know,” said the old man
laughing childishly. “Como to him
with tho rest of his good luck, six
months ago.”
Again tho dog outside began to
howl. Again tho friends felt cold
chills erocp over them.
“Whoro arc wo to sleep ?” askod
Edward of tho old man. “We don’t
want supper, we nooil rest.”
“11l show you,” said tho old man.
“Tho houso will bo full to-night, but
you 11 not mind roughing it.”
And he'led the way to an upper
room, where a rude bed was already
spread.
“Just lie down boro strangers,” ho
said. “There’s a blanket, if you aro
cold, and there’s a candle. Good
night.
And ho loft them ; but not to sloop.
Tho two men had sought solitude that
thoy might communo with each other.
Yet now they could only say, “What
docs this moan ?” They had said it as
many ways a dozen times, when Har
ry, by accident, lifted his eyes to a peg
in the rough wall. On it was some
thing which riveted his gazo with hor
ror. Yet it was an object quite com
mon and innocent in itself —only a pair
of brown saddlo-bags, rather now in
appearance, and with the letters “C.
C.” on the side.
“Look !”ke cried ; “Look, Edward!”
The other, in turn', stood muto for a
time, thon gavo a spring toward tho
peg, tore the bags down and opened
them. Within thoy found garments
they know their friend wore, an omp
ty bolt, and a daguerreotype of a young
girl ot whom they had kuown him to
be very fond.
“His horso in tho stablo, his saddlo
bags and belt here, the dog howling
on tho turf without —what does it all
mean ?” cried Harry, again.
And ned answered, “Wo shall soon
soe,” and strode into the groat room
where tho dancing was going on, and
up to the bride-groom, standing at tho
head of a Virginia reel, aud with his
brido’s hand in his own.
“Stop a bit,” cried Ned, furiously.
“Wo havo a questionask. Whoso
horso is that in tho stablo—tho brown
one, with a star on tho forohead.”
“Mine,” said tho farmer turning
deadly white.
“And tho saddlo-bags up stairs
markod “C. 0 ?”
“Gontlomen,” ho said, “wait until
morning, and I will explain every
thing.”
“Wo choose to learn the truth for
ourselvas,” said the young man fierce
ly-
“ You had a mysterious streak of
luck six months ago, 1 understand
from the old man there,” said Harry
Bray- .
“Not very mysterious, said the
farmer. “I wont to the diggings, and
foil in with a nugget. As for tho
horso, I found him, and tho saddle
bags, too. If you know to whom they
belong, he’s welcome to them.”
“They belong to tho man you mur
dered for his moaey, and buried in the
ground "yonder, where the dog stands
howling,” cried Harry, Li ray. “Wo are
going to dig there, aud heaven help
any man who hinders us !”
“Dig where you choose,” said the
fanner. “I am too well known bore to
be afraid of two madmen. I mur
dered a man—ll There, I am a fool
to care for such words! Dig, con
found you. Many a horse strays in
tho woods; many a man has found
one as well as 1. Como, neighbors,
sot the fiddlers going, and let those
madmen dig.”
And spades sank into the turf, and
tho terrified guests gathered around,
and the hi ide clung to her husband s
arm, and tho music was dumb, and
tho dog’s long melancholy wail filled
the air, and at last, just as tho rising
moon filing hor yellow beams upon tho
newly-dug earth, Nod Warren cried,
in an awful voice, “lie is here !” Aud
tho two friends lifted from the grave
that which had boon a man, with
long, death-grown black hair falling
down over his shoulders.
110 had been shot in the hpad, and
through tho heart-, and there wa3 no
doubt in either mind that it was the
body of their lost friend. Tho farmer
soomod potrified with horror; tho
brido fell*into a death-like swoon; tho
guests fell away from their host, and
looked askance. Tho old father tore
his hair, aud pleaded for mercy. But
thoro was no mercy in any hoerc thoro.
Tho avengers .were all-powerful. The
great room, adorned for festival and
mirth, was turnod into a eourt-room.
Tho women woro thrust from it; the
men remained. On tho raised stand,
whero tho fiddler had boon soatod,
Harry Bray now took his soat in the
character of Judgo Lynch. The iury
was named, tuo mock trial hurried on,
and tho accused called upon to an
swer. lie ploaded not guilty lie de
nied any knowledgo of tho fact that a
gravo lay so noar his homo. 110 per
sisted in the repetition of tho state
ment that ho had found tho horso-and
saddle-bags,but he admitted that- there
had been monoy in the latter.
He stood boforo them looking vory
unlike a murderer, calling on them
for justico —calling on God to witness
tho truth of his words; speaking of
his young wife and bis old father;
bidding his neighbors remember that
ho had never dono them any wrong.
But Judge Lynch had no morcy, no
compassion, no belief in tho possibility
of a falso accusation ; and tlfis Judge
Lynch was an avongor of blood. The
end was what tho.end of such a trial
generally is; tho sentence tho awful
one of death ; and in loss than threo
hours from the moment on which they
1 first saw the bride-groor. happy and
j blithe, standing with his bride at th*
| head of the gay country dance, his
| body dangled, a horrible sight to look
i upon, from tho branch otr tho treo that
! shadowed what all bolievod to bo his
victim’s gravo !
When all was over thoy found the
t old father dead in his chair beside tho
fire-place, and found among tho wo
men a hopeless, gibbering ’maniac,
whom they would hardly havo kuown
for tho rosy-chooked young bvido.
They woro rovenged, bat at’ what
cost! Tho two men returned to their
homes, saddened and altered, but not
remorseful, for they had but avenged
thoir comrade ; and this to them soom
od common justice. Tho legal code of
border life had boon adhered to ; but
for tho last look at tho mad brido they
could scarcely havo recognized how
awful all tnis had boon. They lived
on together, still speaking often of
poor Charley, and fancying that in
sonic other world ho might even lenow
how wcllthey had revengod thomselves
upon his mnrdorOr,
And so five yoars passod. And one
day tho two wont together into a cof
foo-room kept by an old Frenchman
m tho city of San Francisco, and, be
ing in low spirits, out of luck, and
with slender purses, wore sitting dis
consolately ovor their meal, when a
Land came down on each ehouldor,
and a voice cried :
“Found at last! I’ve searched tho
city for you. Heaven bless you, dear
boys !”
It was Charles Chostor, handsome
and cheerful, and well-to-do-looking—
Charles Chostor, whose murderer they
believed tliomsolvos to bavo lynched
yoars before. And this was tho story
ho told thorn, wondering at their, pal
lid looks and awo-struck silonco tho
while.
The money he had with him being
in gold, and heavy for his belt, he
placed it in bis saddle-bags, and had
completed many miles of his journey,
when, noar anew, but apparently de
serted dwelling, ho saw a man tying
groaning terribly. Dismounting, lie
assisted him, and found that ho was a
traveler who had been sot upon by
ruffians and robbod and wouudod.
He had crawled to this house for as
sistance, but found it empty, and now
lay dying in tho road.
Charles Chester had dono his host
for the poor follow, but without avail.
110 died in his arms just as tho sun
went clown; and, by its fading lights
he had dug a grave on tho turf before
tho empty house, aud there buried
him. Thoro was no ono within sight
and his fears of attack upon himself
warned him to hurry on; but when
tho last sail rites wero over, ac.d ho
turned to remount his horse, it was
gono. Tho animal had escaped in
the woods, and, with night com
ing on, all search seemed hopeless.
Tho money in tho saddle-bags render
ed the loss a maddening one. He
threaded his way through the under
brush, calling his stood by name, un
til total darkness hid all objects ; and,
at last, striking bis Load violentlyj
against a tree, ho fell to the ground j
insensible. When ho came to ho found 1
himself lying in a wagon, to which bo .
had boon convoyed by a kindly Gor
man, who could speak no English. In >
falling, he bad broken his arm, and j
was very woak and ill. Boforo ho was ■
able to communicate his story tc any |
ono, all hopo of recovering either j
horso or money had deserted him. Ho ;
was in despair. 110 could not mrist'
his parents, to return to his friends j
would bo to throw himself upon tlieir j
bounty. This lm would not do ; and i
his struggles had boon great at first, ;
but they woro over now. He had j
done well by tho “old folks,” and lio i
had roturnod to pay his debts, aud ro- j
sumo his friendship with his old;
friends. _ |
He was with them ; ho lived. Tho j
farmer had doubtless told the truth.-
110 did not ovon know why tho turf ’
had grown so green in thq litilo yard,
and lie had found tho horso at largo
in tho woods, and knew nothing of.
tho rider; but tho thing had boon J
dono, and could not ba undone—tho j
dead brought to life, or tho maniac’s .
mind restored, or tho blood washed j
from the murdoror’s hands. j
Os course they toid their story, and i
of course thoy believed their friend-;
ship as warm as ever ; but it was not 1
so. Thoy nevor moot oach other as of
yore. The two could not forgot tho j
man thoy had lynched to avenge thoir i
friend, and doubted tho proprioty of j
his returning alivo and merry to troub- j
lo thoir consciences, which wore quite i
onougit as long as ho seemed dead. — [
As for Cnarlos Chester, ho cloarod tho
murdered man’s memory among his
noighboi’3, aud saw tho wild-eyed,
whito faced woman, who only shook
her head and moaned, and muttered .
when ho 6poko to her; and then ho, I
too, was content to say good-byo to |
those who had dono tho deed —albeit,
for bis sake. J
So tho three parted, each going his
own way ; for thus it soemed easier to
forget the deed done by Judgo Lynch j
and his court on the day of tho bride’s
coming home.
