We presume our Illinois readers will readily
expand the town of C mentioned in the
following sketch into Carlyle:
About three or four years ago, more or less, I
was practising law in Illinois in a pretty large
circuit. I was called on one day in my office,
in the town of C —, by a very pretty woman,
who, not without tears, told me her husband
had been arrested for horse-stealing. She wished
to retain me on the defense. 1 asked her why
she did not go to Judge 8., an ex-Senator of the
United States, whose office was in the same town.
I told her that I was a young man at the bar,
&c. She mournfully said that he had asked a
retaining fee above her means, and besides did
net want to touch the cose, fur her husband was
suspected of belonging to an extensive band of
horse thieves - and counterfeiters, whose head
quarters were on Moore’s prairie.
I asked her to tell the whole truth of the mat
ter, and if it was true that her husband did be
long to such a baud?
“Ah, sir,” said she, “ a better man at heart
than my George never lived ; but he liked cards
and drink, and I am afraid they made him do
what ho never would have done if he had not
drank. 1 fear that it can be proved that be had
the horse; he didn’t steal it; another did and
passed it to him.
I didn’t like the case. I knew that there was
a great dislike, to the gang located where she
named, and feared to risk the case before a jury.
She seemed to observe my intention to refuse
the case, aud burst into tears.
I never could see a woman weep without feel
ing like a weak fool myself. If it hadn’t been
for eyes brightened by f pearly tears,’ (blast
the poet that made thorn come into fashion.)
I’d never been caught in the lasso of matri
mony. And my would-be client was pretty.
The handkerchief that liid her ripe lips, and her
snowy bosom rose and fe.ll like a white gull in a
gale of wind at sea. I took the case and she
gave me the particulars.
The gang, of which he was not a member, had
persuaded him to take the horse. He knew the
hOrse was stolen, and like a fool acknowledged
it when he was arrested Worse still, he bad
trimmed the horse’s tail and main to alter his
appearance, and the opposition party could
prove it.
The trial came on. I worked hard to get a
jury of ignorant men, who had more heart than
brain; who, if they could not fathom the depths
of argument, or follow the labyrinthine mates
of thg law, could feel for a fellow in-abad fix,
weeping and pretty wife nearly broken hearted,
and quite distracted. Knowing the use of “ef
fect,” I told her to dress la deep mourning, and
bring her little cherub of a boy only three years
old, into court , and sit as near her husband'as
the officer would let her. I tried that gatnePnce
in a murder hose, and a weeping wife and sister
mftde a jury render a verdict against law,, evi
dence and the judge’s charge, and saved a feU
I.ow that 6dght tojiaye been hung as high as

■The prosecution opened; very bitterly inveigh
ed against thieves and counterfeiters, and, yfhp
had robbed every farmer ia.the region of their

THE UNION
BT DAVID BAXES.
“ It must and shall he preserved.” — Jacksox.
What I rend this glorious federal arch,
O’er which our proud flag is unfurled,
And crush the hopes, and chain the march
Of freedom to a fettered World 1
The wretch who seeks to rend in twain
This union that our fathers gave,
Shall, living, bear the curse of Cain,
Aud, dying, fill a traitor’s grave.
Where is the man who drew bis breath
In this fair temple god has made,
Who dares to die the living death
Oftrcasou, by his act betrayed.
Stand forth, and let the world behold
Another Arnold basely born,
With lust for power and thirst for gold,
Aud boor a nation’s curse and scorn.
The Union’s safe. Ye need not fear
The words from babbling tongues distilled
Will check her in her proud career,
Till her grand mission is fulfilled.

A LAWYER’S ADVENTURE.
they urged upon him, he had cleVidted from the
path of rectitude. The demon <if alchohol had
reigned in-his brain; and it was his first offence.
Mercy pleaded for another chance to save him
from ruin. Justice did not require that his
young wife should go doirn sorrowing to the
grave, and that the shadow of disgrace and the
taunt of a felon father should cross the path of
that sweet' child. Oh, bow earnestly did 1 plead
for them. The woman wept; the husband did
the same; and the jury looked ! melting. If I
could have had the closing speech, he would
have been cleared; but the prosecutor had the
close, and threw ice on the fire I had kindled.
But they did not quite ;pnt it out.
The judge charged according jto low and evi
dence, but evidently leaned on the side of mercy.
The jury found a verdict of guilty, but unani
mously recommended the prisoner to the mercy
of the court. 'My client w aa sentenced to the
shortest imprisonment the court Was empowered
to give, and both jury and court! signed a peti
tion to the governor for an unconditional pardon,
which has since been granted, but not before
the following incident occurred :!
Some three months after thisj I received an
account for collection from a wholesale house in
New York. The parties to collect from were
hard ones, but they had property, and before
they had an idea of the trap Ijiid, I had the
property, which they were about to assign be
fore they broke under attachment! Finding that
I was neck ahead and bound to vfin, they ‘caved
in’ and ‘forked over’ three thousand seven hun
dred and ninety four dollars and eight cents
(per memorandum book) in goodjmoney. They
lived in Showneetown, about 36 or 40 miles
southwest of Moore’s prairie, jl received the
funds just after bank opening, hut other busi
ness detained me till after dinne(i. I then star
ted for C , intending to go as far as the
village of Mount Vernon that night.
I bad gone along ten or twelve miles, when
I noticed a splendid team of double horses at
tached to a light wagon in which were seated
four men, evidently of a high strung order.—
They swept past as if to show bow easy they
could do it. They shortened in, and allowed
me to come up to them, and hailing me asked
me to ‘wet,’ or in other words, ditninish the con
tents of a jug of old rye they had in their wagon;
but I excused myself with the plea that I had
plenty oh board. They asked me how far 1 was
going. I told them as far as Mount Vernon, if
my horse don’t tire. They mentioned a pleas
ant tavern ten or twelve miles Ahead as a nice
stopping place, and then drove o^i.
I did not like the looks of those fellows nor
their actions. I had a brace of revolvers and a
nice knife; my money was not in my valise or
my sulky, but in my belt around my body. I
drove slow, in hopes that they aiould drive on,
and 1 should see them no more. ! i It was nearly
dark when I saw a tavern sign ahead. At the
same time I saw their wagon stolid at the door.
I would have pressed on, but mj horse needed
rest I hauled up, and a woman came to the
door. She turned as pale as death when she saw
me—she did not speak—but with a meaning
ing look she put her finger to her lipsand beck
oned me in; she was the wife of my late client
When 1 entered the party recognized me, and
hailed me as an old traveling friend, and asked
me to drink. I respectfully declined to do so.
“By God, you shall drink or fight!” said the
noisiest of the party.
“ Just as you please ; drink I shall not!” said
I purposely showing the butt of a Colt which
kicks six times, in rapid succession.
The party interposed, and very easily qftelled
the assallent. One offered me a aegar, which 1
reluctantly refused, but a glance from the woman
induced me to accept. She advanced and prof
fered me a light, and in doing sd slipped a note
into my band, which she mast have written, a
moment before. Never shall I forget the words.
They were :
“Beware! they are members of the gang.—
They mean to rob and murder y<>u ! leave soon;
I will detain them !” '
I did not feel comfortable then but tried to
feel so.
“ Hove you any room to put dp iny horse!”
I asked, turning toward the wonian.
“ What, ore you not going on to night T” asked
one of the men ; “we are.”
“ No,” I replied, “ I shall stay all night.”
“We’ll all stay, then, 1 guess, and make a
night of it,” said another of the put throats.
“You’ll have to put up your Cftn horse—
here’s a lantern for you,” said the woman.
“I am used to that,” I said. “Gentlemen ex
cuse me a minute, I’ll join you in a drink when
I come id.” |
“ Good on your head 1 Mord whiskey, old
gal,” shouted they. ' j
I Went out. glanced at their wjagon it was old
fashioned, and “ linch pins’! Secured the wheels.
To take out my kuife and pull ode from the fore
and bind wheels was the .work! of an instant,
and theu I threw them as far off jin the darkness
as 1 could. To untie my horse dud dash off Was
hut the work of a moment Thi road lay down
a stfeep hilhshut lantern lighted me some
what. ■ ; i'-
I had hardly got under full headway, when I
heard a yell from those I had ho nnccrimoni
ously left. I put whip "to my horse. The upxt
moment with 4 shout they started. "Ithrewmy
lantern a why, and left my horseijto pick his way.
A moment later 1 heard a crash—a horrible
shriek. The wheels were off. Then came the
rush of the horses tearing along! furiously with
the wreck of the wagon. Finally, they seemed
to fetch up in the wood. Onepr twoshrieks I
heard as 1 swept on, leaving ’ them far behind:
For some time I harried my. horde—you’d better
believe I “rid I”. It was tiinetfnddidghf when
I got to Mount Vernon. Y . ' \ • .
The next day I’heard that a If pore’s Prairie
team had ran away, and twotjien oht'ef roar
had heed so badly hurt that their livbswere des
paired of; I didn’t cry. opehts' got their
money, and I didu’t'iravel that road atay more.
