I dreamed that you were dead, love,
In long white robes you lay,
Your heart was cold and still, love,
Your spirit flown for aye.
I stood beside their bier, love,
From my eyes fell scalding tears,
For I’ll never see thee more, love,
Through the long, long, lonely years.
Ah 1 to have died for thee, love,
Ahd gone to the ghastly grave,
Gladly would I have given, love,
My poor life thine to save.
I wander to the church yard, love,
The little churchyard on the hill,
“Forgive, I’ve often grieved thy heart,
Though 'twas not meant for 111.”
You answer not, not my longing soul,
You do not heed my hitter woe,
Tho’ an angel In the heaven’s cries
“Thou wast forgiven long ago.”
Bo my broken heart muct bo patient, love,
My love I lost long years ngo,
Oh! to be nt home with you, love.
At rest—at rest, forevermore.

Reed’s ranch <li<l not differ mate
rially from others in Colorado. Tito
same struggling one-storied struct
ure, perfectly innocent of paint,
with out-buildings looking as if
they were ready to tumble down.—
The family Consisted at tho time of
this story, of Joe Reed, the propri
etor, his wife and two children.—
Ella, the eldest, was a rather pretty
girl of eighteen, who for several
years had relieved the tired moth
er of much of the burden of the
house work, attended to the duties
of the dairy, and was a good horse
woman withal, often accompanying
her father in rough rides of miles
when loefking for stray cattle.
Once a week Mr. Reed went to
Denver to sell the dairy products,
and purchase such articles of food
as could 11 pt be raised on the ranch.
Willie, the son, frequently accom
panied him, and the two women
thought nothing of being left alone
in the house until long into tho
night, as the distance to the city
made the drive a long one. It was
on one of these evenings in the
early falljust as they had completed
their supper, and the mother was
arranging the table for the hungry
father and son, that the younger wo
man went to the barn, the back of
which was immediately on the
road, to see a calf that was sick.
Suddenly she heard the voices of
men in the road, near the barn.—
Listening and scarcely daring to
breath, she heard the words that
almost froze her with terror.
“The old man keeps his money
box in a drawer in the bureau, but
the old woman carries the key.”
“How can we get at it?” asked
another voice.
“We can bind both women, and if
they make any noise we can stop
that.”
For a moment the terrified listen
er was fairly paralyzed with fear;
then starting up, and running
quickly around the back of the
house, she climbed up and crawled
through an open window, went to
a closet and took from it two re
volvers, which were always kept
loaded for emergencies, and con
cealed them in the folds of her
dress.
Hastily rejoining her mother in
the larger room, she was just in
time to see two burley looking ruffi
ans enter by the door. The taller
of the two men demanded supper,
“and let it come quickly, too,” said
he in a menacing tone. The brave
girl placed the food on the table,
knowing that the scoundrels would
satisfy their hunger before putting
their purpose of robbery, and possi
bly murder,into execution. She then
sat down in front of them and
watched them. The moment they
finished their meal, she suddenly
thrust the muzzles of tho pistols in
their faces, threatening to shoot if
they moved.
Explanations and protestations
were in vain; tho heroic girl stood
there with eyes flashing and de
termined, for what to her seemed
ages. The poor mother, as soon as
she comprehended the situation,
overcome by her great terror, had
fainted and was lying on the floor.
At last the sound of wagon wheels
was heard coming towards the
house, and a moment after the fa
ther and brother entered the
house, accompanied by an uncle
who had arrived in Denver that
day from their old eastern home in
Pennsylvania, and by tho merest
accident met Mr. Reed on the street
in Denver. As soon as they com
prehended the situation, they com
pelled the ruffians with revolvers
at their heads to submit to being
bound with ropes, and when day
light came they were taken to the
county seat and placed in jail.
The brave girl,as soon as she was
relieved from her terrible guard
duty, and the horrible strain on her
nerves was taken off, went into a
succession of hysterical spasms,
and it was for weeks that her rea
son, if not her life, was de
spaired of. Who eventually re
covered, however, and after
wards married a wealthy Denver
gentleman, and is now living in
Queen City, The two men were
recognized as old offenders, in fact,
they were fugitives from Justice
from a distant county, and after
wards served a long term in the
penitentiary in Cannon City.
Tho Sumter Republican gives
this item under the caption of
“Ruling Passion Strong in Youth:”
“On Wednesday afternoon, a little
darky about seven years of age im
pressed by the late frosts, concluded
tliut he needed u pair of shoes, uml
as he believed they were cheaper
nt M. R. Foster’s than anywhere
else concluded to patronize him.—
Darky got the shoes after so long
a time, and as tliore was no clerk
convenient to pay, quietly walk
out and away. Another darky who
envied the boy his cheap shoes, In
formed on him, and soon a posse
of white boys overhauled him and
returned boy and shoes to Mr. Fos
ter’s store. Mr. F. said he was too
small to punish in tho usual way,
but he would pay his parent to give
the youthful thief a good whipping.
Cheap Bouthorn iron in Northern
markets is a symptom that the Sol
id South is about to take control of
things.
