I am nlono in my chamber now, And tliu midnight hour Is near, And tho f.igot's crnck nnd the clock's dull tick Are the only sounds I hear. And over my soul In Its solitude, . Sweet fcellugs of sadness glide. For my heart and my ej cs are full when I think of the Utile boy that died. 1 went ono night to my father's house Went homo lo the dear ones alt And softly I opened tho garden gate, And softly tho door of tho hall. My mother camo out to meet her son Slio kissed me nnd then she sighed, And her hend fell on nry neck and she wept For the Utile boy that died. And when I gn?cd on Ida Innocent face, As still and cold ho lay, And thought what a lovely child ho had been, And how soon ho must decay i ' Oh Death, thou loicst the beautiful," In the woe of my spirit 1 cried, For sparkled the eje nnd tho foiehcad was fair, Of the little boy lhat.dled. Again I n 111 go to my father's house, Ho home to I ho dear ones nil, And sadly I'll open the garden gate, And sndly tho door of tho hall, I shall meet my mother ; but nei er moro With her darling by her side ; Hut she'll kiss mo nud sigh, nnd weep again For the little boy that died. I shall miss him n hen tho flowers come, In the garden where ho plaied ; I shall miss him moro by tho fireside, When the Honors have all decayed. I shall see his tojs and empty chair. And the horse he used to ride; And they will speak with a silent speech Of the little boy that died. 1 shall see his little sister again, With her playmates about tho door ; And I'll watch tho children In their sports, As I never did before; And if, In the group, 1 see a child That's dimpled and laughlng-ej ed, I look lo see If It may not bo The llttlo boy that died.

The manner in Which an Injured .Man Settled Accounts with the Desperadoes. A gentleman who has lately returned from a visit to Dallas, Texas, tells a story which is rather dramatic and may be true. The The story was told to him by an old hunter, ,1.1. l.o.l I- - - . .,1111 tltlS lounging about one of tho Dallas hotels. "I could tell you a good many queer sto ries, stranger, said tho old fellow, in conver sation with the gentleman, "but I don't know of any that'ud bo more likely to kind 'o striko you than an experience of Sum Long's in Harrison county, years ago. Texas wiua tough place then; you kin bet on that !" And then the old fellow told the story, which can scarcely be as graphic in print as in his terse idiom : Years ago Harrison county, in Texas, was tho haunt of about as dopcrnto a gang of ruffians as ever infested any district west of the .Mississippi. Their number wjis so great, and their organization so complete that they set tho but half-administered law at defiance, carrying on a career of daring crime with impunity, and making tho region an unde sirable place of abode for all honest citizens. Ostensibly hunters or horse traders', the desperadoes made stock stealing their chief occupation, never hesitating to commit n murder when necessary for their safety or lor the execution ot any of their rascally plans. The controlling spirit in this desper ate organization was n giant named Dick Iteddctt, who from his exceptional ferocity and daring, exercised almost despotic con trol over Ins followers. A special pride of this man was in his extraordinary skill in the iiso of the rille, no ono in tlio band be ing ablo to complete with him in what was at that time considered tlio chief accomplish nient of n western man. It was a favorite practice; with tlio band to congrcgato at bomo one of tho few small stores tcaitered through tlio country and there engage in shooting matchcs,and it was upon one of thcao occasions that Sam Long, the hunter already memi()ncd,chaiiced to bo present. Long wits a quiet, modest fellow, who lived with his wife and child in a small cabin in their neighborhood, and who made hunting his constant occupation. Ho never appeared at the storo save to exchango skins and furs for provisions or ammunition, and was widely and favorably known for his sobriety and honesty. Upon tho occasion just referred to, when SamLong chanced; to come while tho desperadoes were engaged in ono of theirshooting matche.s,thcy wished him to take a part in tho sport. Hohcsi tated at first, but finally, not wishing to in cur tlio ill will of tho rulUans, consented. His skill with tho rillo was known to bu something remarkable, and tho desperadoes were not greatly surpri-ed when ho defeated them all avo tho captain of tho baud. This man had not engaged in tho sport,but, when Long had vanquished all others, ho came forward with thoassiirniico of an easy victory Tho shots were made, and, to the btiiprise of all, Long gained tlio day. The rngo of the leader of tho ruffians knew no bounds ut thus being defeated in tho presence of hi; followers, and although refraining from any violence on the spot, ho intimated darkly to tho hunter that ho would yet "get even with him." Long paid llttlo attention to the threat, and soon nflerivard returned to his cabin. At just iiusk, some days later, r-amwas lying on tho Hour of bis cabin pluying with a child, while his wife,busy with her cooking asked Long In go lo an adjacent spring and bring somo water, a request nlilch ho promptly complied with, leaving his gun in tho house, a somen hat liiiuainl cotirso with him. He had reached tho spring, and was just looping to fill tlio pall which ho car rlcd, u hi n he was borne down by a sudden attack from behind, bound tecurcly, and drugged tonio yards into tho woods, When ho recognized bis ns.-nikuitsho knew what to expect. He hud fallen Into tho bands o the Uedde'lt gang, and tho leader was about to "get even with him " Long was stripped and bound to u tree by order of tho captain A bupply of hickory switches wu obtained and then the captain took one of them nnd began tho whipping, announcing with an oath,that no man could beat him or his men nt shooting and stay In tho country. The KtiHerlngs of the victim wero terrible. Tho flesh was cut from his back in strips by tho blows, mm when tho leader of the ruffians had gratified his rage, others of the band continued tho punishment. Hut one man among tho number showed any mercy, and his assertions that Long had been punished enough wero received with derision, rinally the hunter fainted under tho pain, and the rullians, having satisfied their grudge, de parted, leaving tho object of their splto still bound to the tree. In this position ho was found by his wife, who had becomo alarmed fur his safely, and who, searching for him, had been attracted to the spot by a faint moaning, t-ho assisted him to reach the cabin, -which ho did with difficulty ,and then nursed him faithfully to recover. It was weeks beloro he was well enough to move about. Scarcely had Long recovered from his wounds when his cabin was found deserted, and members of the llcddctt baud, thinking lie had fled the country, boasted openly of what they had done. At tho samo time they became bolder than ever in the commission of crime, always hunting or traveling to gether In a company between twenty and thirty, and defying attack from any quarter, Ono day as they wero engaged on a hunt, a member of tho band became separated lrom tho rest in the excitement of the chase. Ho was found, lying dead, shot in the left eye. A few days later, oue of tho ruffians, riding alone, was killed. Again tlio bullet was found to have entered tlio left eye, but no trace of the slayer could be discovered. A week or two passed, and another nf the des peradoncs was shot, the same terrible ac curacy being exhibited in a shot in the left eye, proving all tho shots to be irom tho same source. Tho robbers becamo alarmed and kept always together in their raids, but there was no ccaping the death which seem ed always to bo lurking near them. One ifter another fell, until ten men had died, each one pierced in the eye. Tho woods were scoured by the terrified men in vain. On ono occasion, when a member of the band was killed, the shot had been heard, and once a gaunt fellow was seen running through tho woods, but pursuit failed to over take him. Accustomed to face danger as tho lesperadoes were, and possessed as they were of a brutal courage, they trembled before this mysterious danger. It could not be faced, and could not be averted. The result was that some of the band de serted and lied tho region, 'i'iiero remained only tho captain and four of tho moro reso. lute of his followers. Theo live hunted and made their raids together for some time without harm. Among the five was the man who had endeavored to savo Long at tho time of tho whinnini' torttue. una man ono morning ventured out in the woods without his comrades. He was walking slowly along, looking for game, when the brown barrel of a rillo projecting from a bitsli beside him checked his course. X tall, lank figure rose from the bush, ami the startled man recognied Sam Long, the hunter. Long raised the rille, then lowered it. "You're tlio man who said a good word for me, an'you may go, bad as you arc. I won't take vour miserable life. Go!" Tho man needed no second invitation to go. llo liurricil to tnc camp ami ioki me btorv. Tho captain and the other threo men started out in pursuit of Long, and but two men accompanied Dick Iteddctt when he returned! The third man had fallen ; shot in the eye, and no search of tho underbrush revealed the hunter. The next day another man was killed in camp,and again the hunt er escaped. On the next day, tho two re maining men lied the country, leaving tho fierce Iteddctt alone. The leader of the desperadoes dare not remain wherohowas lie knew he was the mauwhomLong sought abovo all others. Concealing himself until night, he mounted his horse and lied for the nearest point on the Arkansas river where it would be possible to take passage on a steamboat, Two days later ho reached a small landing in tho woods on tlio bank of tho river,whcre tho bteamer stopped for passengers when there were any to take. Ifo learned from tho occupant of the only cabin in the neigh borhood that the boat would bo down in tho afternoon, and so, having put up tlio signal to securo a landing of tho boat, established himself on tho bunk and waited. He deemed himself safe, enough from pursuit, and took no precautions. Throwing himself on the ground, bo slept until hue in tho day, when ho was awakened by the sound of tho boat in the distance. Slio would round a point in a moment or two, and ho waited expect' autlv. As suddenly as though risen Irom tho ground, a lank figure stood before bint and tho muz.lo of a rillo peered in his face Tho terrified desperado ban no difficulty in recognizing tho man as tlio oue no mm in ured. With tho rillo still held steadily up on the f.ico of tho startled llcddctt, Long hissed out: "I've gut you ! You whipped me whip ped mo like a dog! I bivoro I'd kill )ou be lore I called myself a man again, and I'm filing to do It I I've cleaned out your band, and now it's your turn I Oil, I've got you I Thank God, l'vognt you!" Tho ruffian in abject fear pleaded for his life', groveling at tlio feel of the hunter. Ho clung to his words as a drowning man clings to straws. Tlio boat n as very near. Should she round tho point in time ho would bo K.ivedl Already the . smoke-tacks showed through tho brush, when the hunter pressed tlio trigger; tlio bharp report rang out, and llcddctt fell dead, shot lo tho brain through the left eye. Long slipped away in the woods, and when tho boat stopped, in re spon.sc to the signal, they found a dead man but no one else.

A most distressing drowning accident occured in the Susquehanna river, at Una- dilla, on Thursday of last week, fourpersons meeting their death, including a bride and room, who wero on their weddiug tour. The particulars of the catastrophe are as follows: ' Maurice and William Goodrich, of Wor cester, N. Y., were married to sisters in that village about a week ago. They were on their way homo from their bridal tour, and stopped at Unadilla to visit tlio family of Mr. Joseph Morehouse, a miller, whose wife was a sister of tlio two brides. Thursday the bridal party and Mr. and Mrs. Morehouse went out boating on tho river. A move ment of some ono of tho party caused the boat to careen to one side, when tho ladies sprang in fright to tlio other sido of tho boat. This sudden movement caused tho.vcry ca tastrophe it was intended to avert, and tho boat was capsized, throwing tho entire party into the water, which is very deep at that spot. Mr. Morehouse, being an old sailor and an excellent swimmer, at once seized his wife and Mrs. Maurice Goodrich, and would undoubtedly havo saved them, had they not lost all presence of mind. As it waj the la' dies wound their arms about Mr. Morehouse, and ho was not only unable to givo them any assistance, but was himself dragged to tlio bottom. Maurieo Goodrich, being en cumbered with a Heavy overcoat, sunk in a short time, and shared tho fato of the other three. William Goodrich had removed his overcoat and coat, having been rowing tho boat. Ho was a good swimmer, and at onco seized bis wife as sho appeared abovo the surface, and by pushing her ahead of him, and repeatedly lifting her from tho water, succeeded in reaching tho shoro with her. Sho gnvspol hold of a clump of bushes and supported herself, while her husband swam rapidly back to render aid to tho others if possible. It was too late, however, aa they hud all disappeared beneath tho surface. Tho news of tho shocking tragedy spread rapidly through tlio village, and hundreds of people turned out to search fur tho bodies of the drowned persons. Tlioo of Mr. Good rich and Air. and Airs. .Morehouse were found the same day near where they sank Tho body of Mrs. Goodriclt was not reeov ered at last accounts. It is feared that tho rescued bride, Mrs. William Goodrich, will becomo iusauo over the death of her sister Tho two young ladles were twin, as wero tho Goodrich brothers, Mr. and Mrs. More house lcavo several children.
