THE WEEKLY DISPATCH
"I.IVt AXI U.KT I.1VK."
Well, fsrtner Smith lias loat bis wheat. Lis
ahed and mammoth ham;
His Utile bo.r with one uraall match burnt
tip the whole coticrrn.
I tell yon, wife, he'll fee! it sore; a man on
money lMit
Cau't utainl under such a load whea not ia-
suretl n cent.
1 don't know as t pity him; t call it a great
pin
T hoard tho harvest of threo years in upa-
ci!t! barn and bin;
I can't feel pity fur any man who doubly
loc kit hi door,
Aud stops his ears to all the cries that come
up front the poor.
I like to ace economy; I like oe men sarn
And l.iy up point-thing for thoir kin when
they are in the grave;
But you and I know very well from what
ve liofh have Hcen, '
There Is a line which when it's crossed a
man gett to be mean.
When wheat was sixteen shillings a price
that paid n4 well
Smith na id : "I'll wait for twenty, I vow,
In-fore I'll nell."
Then, when it rem hed that figure, he said
to mi; one noon :
"I gness I II hold it longer, 'twill be three
dollars soon."
He held it, and ran in debt for things to
wear and eat;
When merchants dunned him he would say,
"Wait till I sell my wheat."
Soon that old tutu) got riddled out, and the
men hegan to sup,
And he liegau to borrow to pay accounts
pant due.
When Smith goes off to buy a thing he spies
around 'he. town.
And tries with ail his might and main the
price to banter down;
When he has anything to sell "lis pricelexs
in his eyes.
And he must have the highest price the
lowest when he Imys.
"Live and let live-," are goldeu words; the
nt her motto, too :
"Do nii-o others as yim'd wish That they
should do lo you."
If Smith tin, I done as they command, he
would not have to diy
The allies o! three harvests to load and drag
away.
Wife, if yon take a berry and dry it in the
SI! (I, '
'Twill shrivel nil till it takes two to make
the sice of one.
So many a man, in grasping gain, so shrivels
no his soul
That 'twill nevt r expand again while life s
years o'er him roll.
God bless the farmers of our land ! They
are not like him
Who walks mourn) t he smouldering pile now
iu the twilight dim;
Living on God's acres, tieir souls expand
and grow,
Their ear.i are ever open to talcs of want and
woe.
God bless the men, where'er they are, in
country or in town,
Who do not." think it life's great work lo
crowd their neighbors down!
This world it would Im? better, this life
would pleasure give.
If every man who toils lo live would lei his
brothers live.
n r ii n ivass't hanged.
"I have served two terms as sheriff of
Osage cnuiiij," sa'd the little man as he lit
a fiesh cigar, and braced his feet against
the stove as if about to delight us with a
story.
Did you ever hang anybody?" was the
natural inquiry that was quickly propound
ed to the ex-shot ill.
"No," mid I thought I detected a faint
smile on the sjaker'sips. "But I held a
man under sentence of death, ami be wasn't
it pi ieved cither."
Of c.-utse all of us wanted lo hear about
that ni.tn, and Mr. Mittimus proceeded at
once to girtiil'y our curiosity.
"i knew befoie the cise was called that
John Upshot would be found guilty of
minder in the fii-st degtee. His lelalives
and they wi-ie.nuinbe.vd among t he most
......lii. .....t inHii.-iii ul im'iiiiIo i.t' the (lis-
t ncl-eng aged I be blest attorneys in the
I Slate for Hue defense. But nr.ney and tat
etit could not save the ciiminal. A good
deal of legal loie was lost upon the twelve
honest farttieis who filled the jury box, and
the only interest that seemed to attach it
self to the trial was the chicanery of Up
shot's counsel.
For four days that trial dragged its
serpentine length through tl.e October
tcrntv It worried me, for, as I felt, that I
was to have a hanging on my hands. I
wanted to j;et thiough the ugly job as
quickly as possible. I rtid not sleep, mticti
of nights, lor I had to lie awake and hear
the iniudeier pacing his cell as if the ghost
of his victim was keeping him on a tenil.le
march. 1 he closing of the tiial was a gteat
relief and 1 hiealhed fieer, even when I
heard the only veidictat which twelve hon
est men could nnive. I heard the cheer
that greeted the verdict, and when I look
my man' buck to jail, he looked up into my
face and Raid with a smile :
" You will do me a favor by conimiitin
no blunders when the time comes, Mr.
Mittimus. . i '
Hi words and tono told me thnt he
wculd die com ageously, and I felt like
thanking-John Upshot lor t hat, for I .v.
fe.irlnl that he would play the cowaid. I
j felt that I c.mld hang a mnn that was not
! afraid to die. A coward, squiiming and
I weakening on tltp Hallows, might have un
I manned me.
j "The counly town of Osase was not large
' then. I'lie jail, to wlncli wasauacneo n.u
sl.eria" residence. Mood on a i ise, ami the
car windows, batted and very stiou, ov
,., looked a gently sloping piece of giound
, winch boasted or a line grove of beech and
butternut. That grove held man v -pleasant
! recollections to me, for there I had played
throu -h boyhood, and I h-ved to fiequeiit
! its c..'iiK sbmlea, long after I had leaded
man's est.f.c. It whhhhi this ip.etly wti.B
: that the side w ii dow ot John Upshot a cell
' hK'ked. Ioie than once during the ttlal I
had tliMJovered him Slanding at the balsas
i ifsi.-hing for the freedom t.f tiie buds that
filled the rove with their music.
'The day of execut ion approached, but
very slowly to me. I assure you, gentlemen,
that I wanted it to come on the wings of
the wind, for, as I have alusdy s.-iid. I
wanted the hangman's Job off my hands.
The prisoner apla'ia niairtei-em.
Vt ' eral days after the tiial ; but tho horror of
bis approacntog i no d.h io y
and his f-mtle lafieu away, irp. ir -totally
nnlooked for, afTd I believe that m
steps were ever taken towards one. It wa
piven out everywhere that Upslut wonhl
l "ot" U.w)y.
"The weather for the fall was delight ful.
Indian summer was upon us, and the days I
had the mellowness of the true Indian sum- i
mer, and the sktes were soft and beautiful
overhead. I used to wander into the grove
on Sabbath afternoons; but my visits ceased
suddenly. One day I happened to cast my
eyes towards the jail, which wns visible
from the place I occupied, and behold ! I
saw a pale face at the window ofji.hu Up
shot's cell. The condemned man seemed
to be lookiog at me, who had been com
missioned to launch him into etei nity. His
eyes seemed lull of mu'e pleading aud
tiiirneii mtit mv verv tfirt. I f.kiiwl not.
stand that awitil look, and made my way
back to town. Unnerved for the first timo
since his conviction. I
' I did not teiuiii to that spot until the '
night prior to the day set apart for the ex
edition. The town was becoming tilled
with peopie, for the few executions, that
had taken place iu the county had beer,
public, and the precedent was to le adhered
I to in Upshot s cast!. .My programme had
been cart-fully studied, and, weatied with
j the mutter, I concluded to seek the cool
grove and hud a little rest. For several
(lays and nights ihe piisoner had paced his
i cell with lha teniblu tread which rings in
my eats to-day, and I wanted to get beyond
eitr.-hot of the awful sounds
"The night was lovely. A full moon was
in the sky, and her light fell diiectly upon
the jail. The white walls bad a ghost-like
look from the grove, and the winds thai
rustled the leaves around me seemed to
sing the requiem of the doomed man. I
f'.uud lelu-l among the lifts; but all nt
once I was w ishing ifrvit I had not left my
house.
"A face white and wan asdeath appeared
suddenly at one of the batried windows. I
knew that it was John Upshot's. The ap
paiilion stailled me, and I was on my feet
in an instant, stating at. the window, lis
seemed to bo taking his last lo k at the
I beautiful eai'.h unfolded to his gnee by the
moon, ami a lotiumg look it seemed to me.
I could see that his lace was pressed against
ttie l.siis, and when I recollected that ihe
man must be standing on l he very tips of
his toes iu onier to maintain his position,
I felt his eagerness. For many minutes I
watched that white face, and it 1 pitied its
guilty owner in that moment of his pain, I
am sine, gentlemen, you will pauion me.
'I was t hits gazing nt John Upshot w hen
the lond reit of a gun caused me loslail
and whiil quickly in my tracks.
" The weasii seemed to have been dis
charged within a few paces of mv pesilioii;
but 1 could not see a liviio; soul bt sir.es
myself in the grove. My lirst impression
was that an attempt had ot en iiimcIh umti
ley own lite ; but i had not felt the whistle !
of the bail, and was untie certain that il i
had not penelialed my jieisnn. But, in
order to be pieparen for anoMier shot, I
drew a weapon ami started towards t he sus
pected M.sition of the assassin. My search
prov'ed fruitless; but as the trees were
throwing long shadows. I ki ew that any
person could easily elude me. The shot
worked me up to no little pitch of excite
ment aud as I turned my head towaids the
town. I happened to glance at the jail.
"John Upshot's face was no longer at the
window!
"I returned home mystified by the shot,
but resolving to discover its author. My
wife met me a', the door with a white face,
and said that she feared that Upshot had
taken his life as she had heard the fall of
a heavy body iu the direction of his cell.
"A minute later I tin ne wide the cell
door, aim to my horror found John Upshot
lying on the tl-Mir with the moonlight fall
ing upon the blood ieyt face that I have ever
beheld. Of coutse my titst thought was
otic of suicide ; hut the rigid hand grasped
n revolver, though theie was a ghastly
bullet wound between the eyes. I lifted
the man, but he was d'ad, aud 1 knew I
would not hang him on the coming day.
Of con i Me I was not long in associating the
shot iii the grove wit h the criminal's deal It.
and an observation taken on tie foliowing
night convinced me of the fact. The atT.iir
is still involved in mysteiy lo the people of
Osage : but to mo it has been made clear.
"A year after this thrilling event I was
summoned to the deathbed of Lilian Blake,
the beautiful daughter of Upshot's victim.
J?he was near the grave, hot she told nie' a
strange story, and before I left the room, I
knew that the fair gill hat! avenged her
father's death by sbiyiitjr his murderer on
the night befoi e t he day of legal execut ion."
A Sagactotts Cow. I can avouch for
the truth of the story, as it w as told to me
by the gentleman who sold the cow, and
whom I have known from boyhood. Ho
moved from Ketitiebeek county, Maine, to
Wisconsin, several years ago settling, in a
section at that time but sparsely populated.
In time a ftietid of his came, with his
family, and took up land 1n Mitnn sota,
over two hundred miles dislant. The
f i tend, while he went on lo look up his;
claim, and put tip a hut, left bis faintly
with his old townsman, and when be was
finally ready to push on bag ami baggage,
he Isxtght. of his host a fine cow, which he
knew be should wantthe first thing u)m.u
his arrival, as he had several young chil
dren.'' It was a new milch cow. having a
"calf jitst old enough lo wean. He might
have found cows near his Minnesota loca
tion, but it wa doubt fol if he could have
found one of so good a breed for milk, and,
more especially, ""-' ''i full milk.
At the rxpiratitHi of two weeks from the
dale t.f his fitend's oepailuie our Wiscon
sin farmer I ecetvtd a letlei from him,' writ
ten when within a tl iys Jonniey of bis ties
I mat inn written because he I ad met on
his way, and .-topped v ith over night, a 1 tav
elcr going fast.'
"I have hum f than once almost w ished
that I had not boiijht old Snow face,"" Ihe
writer said. spe:.king of the cow, "lor she
has given us an immense amount of trouble.
She misses her calf, and 1 wish I had taken
it. as yoii" proposed ! but we aie almost
there, and I guess n good rest and got!
, feed will soon quiet her."
j Mr. Locke Urn will pauhui me for telling
his name) received this letter on Saturday
i evening. I hat night Ins w ile aroused hin.

St&ry of a Missouri School-Master,
A FORMER RUSSIAN OKFICEIt AND ESCAPED
CONVICT FROM SIBEUIA.
The Kansas City Timet tells the roman
tic history of a gentleman who is now
teaching modern languages iu one of the
schools of that ci!y :
Captain Van Atowitz was an officer
in the Kusst.tn army in the Crimea, lie
was a gentleman of noble family, tesid
ing in 'he Province of AerotielZ i t South
ern Russia, and in the routine of bis
duties was sent to SebistoMl, and there
became attached to the start' of the I mice
Goi tchakoff, and was on' regular staff
duty when be fell into trouble. The de
tails of the It on hie which sent him into
exile were not obtainable, but this much
is known : A brother ofli;er committed a
breach of discipline. A breach of disci
pline in the Russian army is a serious
matter, even in time of peace. This of
fending o dicer, who was a captain 1n the
Impel ial army, was court-martialed for his
insubordination and sentenced to the mines
of Siberia for life. To be sent to that ice
bound regioti aud to be sentenced to woik
iu the subterranean mines is a fate worse
than death. So, when the offondiiig otli
cer received his sentence for an offense bis
brother olheeis did hoc deem serious, they
murmured and complained, and finally ten
or a dozen of Ihe oliieers, t.f the Impel ial
Corps at Scbastopol determined to assist
their condemned companion to escape, lie
escaped and made his way to Galaty, iu
the province of Wailactiia, and from thence
to Constantinople, whence he is supposed
lo have made his way to Kngl'tnd. I'rinco
Uorischakotf had each and ail of th ten or
twelve oliieers implicated in the escape of
t he condemned captain arrested, aud they
were tried by coui t-mai t i.,1, and each re
ceived the same sentence as that of the
man they assisted to escape- banishment for
life lo Siberia and twelve vears bard labor
in the copper mines. Tiiey were each stiip

confiscated 'y the ciown and sent as con
victs to Toolosk, in Siheiia, whetc they '
were held for a lime piior to thcii I: ial a
sifl'metil to a hie. labor.
Hut, fortunately, Captain Atowitz had a

vinccs. This old gentleman had friends
in biberia who assisted him in transfer
ring money to his doomed (jmiidsnn, so
that it cool. i bo used to advantage. Of
coutse judges in America cannot be cor
mpted, but Liberia is another country. So
when tho exile received a iol ifteat:on at
the fort i ess of Nai rn to be ready to make
his escape when the opport unity offered,
he did not forget the notification. The
oppoituuity was S"Hn presented, and all
ttie twelve condemned ofticers escaped,
fen of the party were afteiwatds tecap-
tmeti and shot, two of them escaped. One
t.f these is the Captain Atowitz now in this
city. Ihe atory of his escape is matei tal
sulncieni for a volume. H made his way
southward lo the Uial River and from
thence across to the Volga, Rod rimnesl i-caU-d
for a time among the Cossacks. In
due time, after many narrow escapes from
identification and recapture, he mane his
way to Germany and settled down to make
a living. But the two tyrannical imtociats
hail in fotce a law which required the turn-
mg over or surrender ot all political re
fugees, so the Russian ofMcer was obliged to
move on. He came to A met ica and enteieti
the United Stales service and received a
commission in the Seventh New Vol k Vol
unteers, and seived during the war. At
the close of the war he went to Rochester,
N. Y., and went into business. It was
theie he met and Iwcatne acquainted with
Piofessor Greenwood, the present. Snjierin
lendent of the Public Schools of Kansas
City. But a desite lo return to his native
land, and if possible recover a portion of
his confiscated estate, or its levenue, in
duced him to return lo Europe. He went
to Paris and there leceived some assistance
from his patents his grand mother came
to reside in Palis; but as a discovery of
any will being rendered to the escaped exile
would result mi the confiscation of his
graiid-p.itrnts' estate, he was obliged 'o
leave again. In all this time be has la
bored assiduously for a pa i dor ; but the
Cz;ir turns his face against any overtures
for pardon of an escaed exile f.in Sibei ia.
In tlespnir of obtaining a pardon, the fugi
tive f-xile returned to America, ami a few
months ago took up his abode in Kansas
City. His formei acquaintance with Pro
fessor Greenwood, supet intendent of our
public schools, h H5 it idv-d him somewhat in
obtaining pup'ls in several clashes nl langua
ges. IIh is a close st udeiit, and has neat ly
peifccted a win k entitled "Ten Years Ex
erienceiu America." He hoj.es to be able
to enlist Ihe aid of the Giand Duke Alexis
in an effort for paidou ami a restoration of
the coiinCiiled estate of his family. Bat
whether he succeeds ,r fails in hi efforts.
he will make a good American citizen, and
will be welcome among the people of tho j
go-ahead new West.

The story of A ml re, as we commonly
rend it, tells little of Andre himself.- It
tells nothing of the manner of man h was,
how he looked, how he dressed, aud what
he said and did.

lieved to be his military duty ; he tiied to
serve his king aa well as he could, ami cr
haps we -Can not blame him so very much,
even if we did punish him so sadly. He
was something t lse than a nine spy, and
it is more agreeable to think of him as an
ailist than a soldier. He did not love war
as some soldiers do, ami while iu this con ti
tty he many times tried to soften the haid-
ships aud troubles of the times. Once be j
found a poor little boy Who had been ca-

he put ii.lo the di-eadfu. pi isutts the British

could tlo no harm, aud Andre took him
away from the soldiers and sent hiiu back
to his mother in safety.
Besides painting and drawing, Andre
coold sing, aud make charming veises.aud
cut out porMahs in silhouette. Many of
his pictures and letters are still preserved,
and could you read the letters, you would
see that be was a genial, lively, and enter
taining man. While be was in this countiy
he kept a journal, and, it is said, it w as full
t.f pictures of plants and insects and ani
mals, people an . places, bits of scenery,
and plans of cities a:d towns. He used
often to give his pictures away as presents
to bis friends ; and once, when he was a
pristiuer iu out hands, and whs sent to Lan
caster, Pennsylvania, for safety, be taught
the children in the village to draw. One L
of the Lancaster bovs pleased htm so much.
j and displayed so much talent, thst Andre
j offered to make an aitist of him, and to
i take him to England when the war was at
I an end. The boy's father would not con-
