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. •To dwell in Paradise, Born unto that undying life. They leave ns but to come agalu ; With joy we welcome them—the same, Except in sin and pain. And ever near us, though unseen, The desr, immortal syirits tread ; For all the boundlcae Pnirerse Is life • there are no dead. a fatalmlstake. 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.
