Setting out then upon my own animal, un lumbered by any luggage except a tourist's satchel, strapped across one shoulder, after the manner of a hunting pouch, I left St. Joseph early in the morning, crossed the river, struck through the bottom across a corduroy road, and after a twelve mile ride came into Troy. Kansas was at that time very sparsely set tled. The squatters generally sat down near the borders of a stream, where they had the double advantage of water and timber, but for the most part, the towns had been started out on the broad prairie, though, save three or four insignificant houses, they were, at the time of which I speak paper enterprise, being principally found—on the map I Passing Troy, 1 came out upoa high, roll ing prairie.

At the foot of the hill, near the old red mil!, in a quiet, shady spot, Just peeping through, half hid from view, Stands a little moss-grown cot, And straying through at the open door, The sunbeams play on the sanded floor. The easy chair, all patched with care, Is placed by the old hearth stone; With witching grace, in the old fireplace, The evergreens arc strewn. And pictures hang on the whitened wall, And the old clock ticks in the cottage hull. More lovely still, on the window-sill, The dew-eyed flowers rest, Whilst midst theleaves, on the moss-grown eaves, The martin builds its nest, And all day long the summer breeze Is whispering love to the bonded trees. Over the door, all covered with care, With a Back of dark-green baize, Lays a musket old, whose worth is told In the events of other days. And the powder-flask, and the hunter's horn Hare hung beside it for many a moon. For years have fled, with noiseless tread, Like fairy dreams away, And loft in their fight all shorn of its might, A father—old find gray, And the soft wind plays with his snow-white hair, And the old man sieepa in his easy chair. Inside the door, on the sanded floor, Light, airy footsteps glide, And a maiden fair, with flaxen h'ir, Kneels by the old man's side, An old oak wrecked by the angry storm, While the ivy clings to its trembling form ghee storll-gtlitv. A LIFE IN PERIL. BY S. READE BROCKTON "Many's the slip 'twixt the cup and lip." To the verification of that old adage I owe the fact of my existence being prolonged to the present time, instead of having been cut short off some fifteen years ago. In the year 1857, I —then connected with a heavy dry goods establishment in New York city—was sent in the interests of the house by which 1 was employed, on a business tour through the West, taking in St. Joseph, and several other points in Missouri. At that time the Kansas fever was at its height. Jim Lane was triumphant, and the more serious border troubles had determined in the ratification of squatter sovereignty. On closing up business at St. Joseph, find ing myself ahead of my appointments, and with a little leisure, hanging heavily on my hands, I resolved to take a trip into the coun try across the border, and satisfy, as best I might in the short space allotted me, a certain lively curiosity, which enhanced my interest, in the excitement, the people and everything pertaining to the country. At that time few protective measures h‘d been established, the settlers in cases of emergency, relying entirely upon their ama teur detective, vigilance committees. As might have been expected in such a state of affairs, thievery ran riot, and regularly organ ized bands of desperate characters drove a flourishing trade upon their "pickings" from the defenseless frontiersmen. Stock raisers were particularly unfortunate, and many a fine horse, ingeniously gotten away by the practiced experts in rascality, found its way without detection into the Southern markets. To illustrate the shrewdness of the slippery gentry, not an uncommon practice was to stain the coat of an uncommonly fine animal, so that even his own master,meetbe him on the road, would fail to recognize his mi iing pro perty. The thieves, after getting across the river, had their regular trail through the Mis souri bottom, which is a dense forest of cot tonwood, and honeycombed with numerous bridle paths. They bad a rendezvous at reg ular intervals along the line, their numbers, their boldness, and skillful devices, making it an exception, rather than a rule, if any unit of the great whole was overtaken by the claims of justice. I had gained the preceding information, when, on going to a stable to hire a sad dle horse, relative to my intended trip, I found that on account of the risks to be encoun tered, I could only obtain what I desired, by leaving a sum in the hands of the owner suf ficient to cover the loss of the animal, in case I was so unfortunate as to lose possession of him before my return. In short I was obliged to regularly pur chase the beast, and for the first time in my lifo owned a bit of horse-flesh. Travelling upon horseback at this point in my journey, it began to press upon me in any light but that of a diversion, for 'aside from the fatigue attendant upon my unaccustomed exercise, and the execrable condition of the roads, my horse, who, at best had proved himself a hard riding beast, began to show unmistakable symptoms of giving out. My ignorance as to the "points" had per mitted a worn out back to be imposed upon me as a desirable saddle horse ; though, in justice to myself, let it be said that the out ward appearance of the quadruped was a bet ter commendation than his capabilities as a roadster. For a short spurt he might answer very well, but for an all day's trip he was a decided failure, and my briefly planned ab sence was liable to double, or even treble in extension, if I were forced to depend upon the wind avid speed of my new acquisition. I was trying to study up some way oat of my difficulty when a sound of approaching hoofslstruck my ear,and lookingup,l sawn man, also on horseback, coming rapidly toward me. As he drew nearer I saw that be was plainly and coarsely dressed like a farmer in his eve_ ry day clothes, though neither his rustic ap pearance, nor the plainness of his accoutre ments could disguise the beauty of the animal on which he rode. I saluted him as he came up with some question as to the road. Ile answered hastily, and was pushing past when I stopped him again. "What is the next town I strike ahead ?" I asked. "Highland." "How far beyond ?'' "Eight miles." Ile answered 14,0E14:a11y ; but turning his head was looking carefully over my droop ing steed. "Do you live anywhere in this vicinity?' I asked, meditating whether, for a compensa tion, I could not eff,ct an exchange at some farm house along the way, at least until my return. "Wall, yes. I own a farm the other side of Troy. That's a fine beast of yonr'n, stran ger." "I was about to remark the same of yours," I replied courteously, though barfly relishing his sarcasm. "Lightfoot is a trim little nag, now isn't she? he said, with admiring fondness. "I've raised her from a colt and can't pint out a thing agin her; but she's too light for my bus iness. I want something heavier. Is that horse of your'n for sale ?" "Well I really hadn't thought about selling —," I began. "Stranger," interrupted the man, earnestly, turning and riding up beside me, "that horse of your'n is just a match for one I've got at home. I've been looking for morc'n a year to find a mate to him, and here he is, clear to the white fetlock on the off hind foot. "Stran ger, how'll you trade ?" "What say you to an exchange ?" I asked , jocularly. "Make me an offer," I continued, thinking it the best way to conceal my igno rance of jockeying. Slipping from his saddle, bridle in hand, he carefully examined my horse, prying open his mouth, holding up his feet, and sounding his chest. "Well, stranger, I've said rnore'n once that if I ever found a match to old Teke, if 'twas ou the road to meetin', and the parson was riding him, I'd stop and make a trade. I want that horse, and I'll makeyou a thunderin' good offer; just as they stand, horse,.saddle and bridle—call it an even trade. Will you take it or leave it ?" "Take it I" I replied, emphatically, dells - cr. ing up my bridle. "Cousiderin'," continued my companion, "that I hunted more'n a year to make this very match, and considerin' that the boys at home are eternally foolin' with Lightfoot, I'm satisfied to call it an even trade." Mounting his bargain, he waited until. ex mining and tightening the girths, f followed his example; then, with a brief exchange of courtesies, each went his separate way, the whole interview occupying little more than ten minutes. Arched neck, and daintily limbed, my re cent purchase carried me like a bird. I put her through her paces; she was kind, free, and true as.steel. I had hard work to put aside tile old sug gestion : Appearances are often deceitful," and to convince myself that, in spite of the evidence of my own eyes, I bad not been in some way egregiously taken in. That any sane person could value the plug I had brought .from St. Jo, as an equivaler4 fe,r-the colt I had now under me, seemed almost incredible. Was it possible' that like the man who sold a barren field and found that the purchaser had discovered a gold mine under it, I bad been bargaining away undiscovered excellence? My mind steadily reverted to its first suspi cion, as I rode I kept a constant look out for some lurking symptom of "diablerie," which should account for the reckless sale. At last it came, though not from the direction I anticipated. I had crossed Wolf River, and was riding leisurely along the prairie, when a sudden scurry of ringing hoofs in the rear turned my attention that way, and looking I aw some half mile away three mounted men, who had apparently just left the timber bordering the stream, bearing rapidly down toward me. What reckless riding people those Kansas settlers were ! Their pellmell gait would have better suited a hurdle race. as compared to the every day jog trot of our eastern far- mer, I was in an unfamiliar locality, among un familiar people, and absolute veracity com pels me to acknowledge that, remembering sundry accounts of the unsettled state of the country, a decidedly uncomfortable sensation began to creep over me. I unloosened the rein, and my horse struck into a quicker pace. "They are doubtless," thought I, "some farmer's boys making a trial of speed." And yet I someway felt a good deal safer when coming to a side track, I struck into it, thinking to regain the main road when the approaching riders had passed by. As luck would have it, they turned up the side path also, and came dashing on behind a quarter of a mile away. My horse, laying back her ears, struck into a gallop. On we sped like the wind, distancing them by every step. An insane desire prompted me to get back into the traveled road, and drawing the bridle rein, I set out across the unbroken prairie. When for the first time I became certain that I was an object of pur suit. The three horsemen also left the bridle path and followed in my tracks. I saw that they were heavily armed. Visions of robbery and murder flitted through my brain. I gave my animal her head. My dependence now was upon her speed. In clearing the bridle path she had broken into a dead run, and with neck straight as an ar row, eyes wild, and nostrils dilated, she ran like a hunting hound, lithe and laying close to the ground. Instant by instant we gained steadily upon our pursuers. I way just congratulating my self that escape was a thing of certainty, when down went my horse, one foot in a gopher ho!e, while I, thrown from the saddle, struck the ground half senseless upon my head and shoulders. I was barely conscious of being lifted upon a saddle, and a cord being placed around my ankles. Conversation I heard also, but indis tinctly, and without a shadow of its purport reached my dulled Drain. After a little I felt myself in motion, but a listless indifference held me in boudage. It was as though all this was happening to another person than myself. When I began to recover my senses I knew that the three pursuing horsemen had been joined by a larger band. Conversation grew intelligible. "So you've captured the genie ! "Hale'l be glad to see his mare again !" "We'll string up one of the cussed gang, at any rate l'' As these chance sentences fell upon my ear, it began to creep through my mind that I had been mistaken for a vastly different personage than the respectable, curious, pleasure-seek ing tourist who had set out so ambitiously that morning from St. Joseph. Undoubtedly in my present appearanc". dusty, travel-stained, disheveled, few traces of my former respectability remained to tes tify for me. My curiosity was likely to be satisfied. Yet could it be possible that I, who so prided myself upon honor and princi „.. , •.'-;:. ournal. pie, should be mistaken for that lowest of crintivats, a t ttratuotk horse thief? Mortifying ,tiggestion ! Yet it e•As evident that such a rwstake ditl a t present P t , and that I wag in the hands of a vigilance com- mittee As the horror of to) situation came home to me. I tried to recollect my thoogl.ts and frame some evidence that might obtain my release front this terrible dilemma. I remembered with a thrill of terror. that I 1001 left all my papers behind, and bad not even a line to show that I W:l3 ono whit better than they had taken me for. They had now come back to the timber bordering Wolf river, from t:.e eancealment of which they had first ridden out upon me. Ilere they halted fot trial, and I, bound in the midst of them, looked around upon the circle —my self-imposed judges. Glances of stern. unpitying determination met mine. They were strong, intelligent, 11%1 , 4 front ier:‘rnen ; men of sturdy industry, unswerving integrity, and iron will, persevering in the at tainment of their aims, and prompt in fulfill ing the claims of justice. "Gentlemen," I cried, "this is a terrible tuistaltil! I ant no criminal, hat a simple tonr ist, came to luuk at the country. My name is D-L-and I am from the firm of King A King, New York city. Kuhn .k Leigh the heaviest merchants in St. Joseph, can estab lish the proof of my identify. Likely you brought ilalc's mare from New York city !" was the sneering rejoinder of the leader of the vigilant?. "Gentlemen." I replied, earnestly, I never set eyes on this mare until past noon this very day. I had her from a man in the dress of a farmer, who said lie lived on the other side of Troy. Ile took in eichange for this a horse I brought down from St. Jo." A laugh of derision ran email the circle. "Show us your papers, boss." "Unfortunately fur me" I replied, "my papers were left behind with my luggage at St. Jo. If yo:: will take the trouble to go, send or in anywise investigate the matter, I can prove to yon the truth of my words." "That's altogether too thin ?" "Ile wants to gain time. - "lle's a plausible rascal, but he musc't slip through our hands." • Such were the muttered comments which greeted my story. (leavens ! was there no sal cation ? A mock trial was held. during which I was proven to have deliberately stolen the mare from her master's stable, run her off. and it 1:4 needlesJ to add that my race before the com mittee, and subseqnent seizure oe Sight, rave a strong coloring of truth to the eitideece on their side. For my defence, 1 IMlolleted and reiterated my former statemetik hi no cre dence was allowed me. A rope was brought forward, awdeuspead•til from a neighboring tree. My hands bad been previously tied behind my back. I sisaddered as the noose was plaited around my neck. To be cut thus oil' in the prime of manhood. without a farewell word to those I loved. far from kindred and friend, and bitterest of all to expiate thr crime of another—that other a total stranger—in a shameful death myself the unfortunate victim of a fits' mistake, what n-oniler if head and heart were bursting My feet were untied from under the horses belly, and in a few seconds more the horse would hare been driven out from under me, when, like a gleam of the star of hope from a midnight chrd, my eye caught as one of the Vigilantes threw open his coat, a !MAU object fastened on the lappet of his rest. With the c:iergy of a drowning min grasp ing at a saving plank, I wrenched free one hand, and with his eye full upon me made a simple sign. The man started and answered it. I gave another which was answered ; and still another, a masonic sign in the Chapter. Then starting brrathlessly forward my brother laid a firm detaining hind on each side of the hrid!e-rein. cat roue ! ai Vier,. :3 a IT:eaven, r.tau Lai spoken t!..? !ruth stake my lite upon it A horse thief has never been known to travel the road this man ha; bee-) over.— Criminals are made of different material At the close of thi3 earnest thong' hurried speech, a murmur of dissatisfaction ran through the group. "It's all right, boys; I'd swear t'9' I know this man. Some of you come home with me to-night, and to morrow we will go down to St. Jo, and I'll prove it. I'll pay all the es pente3 there and back." With some reluctance—for it was blind work to them—they took me out of the hang. man's noose, and then the reaction was so great, I fainted dead away. As soon as I recovered. I gave a; full de scription as I was able of the man with whom I had traded horses. and indicated the same direction afterwards taken by him, on the strength of which statements, four of the par ty directly set out in pursuit of him. Three of the Vigilantes attended me hack some six or eight m:leg farther into the coun try, to my friend's farm Tionie, where the kindest attentions were showered upon me by both himself and farrl:y. His snrprise at my not having in the first assemblage at the trial. given the sign. is only to he answered by my bewilderment of mind. which rendered me half incapable of common judgment or reason. I will confess, however, that up to the time I had allowed myself to get rather, "rusty," but since Masonry was the sole means of res , fling me from a death al whose bare details I shudder to mention, I bare taken both care and pride that there should he no one "brighter .
