THE UNKNOWN ATTORNEY
A STORY OF TEXAN LIFE
It Itras' my fortune or misfortune, which
ever you choose, fo hold, some ten or twelve
years ago ; what is called a "sit" on a small•
paper published in one of the middle coun
ties of Teins.
At that time that portion of the country
was in little better than a half civilized con
dition. The little village in which I was a
sojourner could boast of its" Vigilance Com
mittee,l' and more than once did it tall to my
lot to put in type the fate of some unfertu
natewretch who had been taught doing an
61111111.111'11.
dmaloving portion of the totnmunity, Horse
stealing was considered a very grave offence,
and to be found in the neighborhood of any
stable after nightfall_ would be sure
to place one under suspicion of having dis
honest motives ; and woe betide you if a horse
was missed soon after. But the crime which
was surest to meet with summary punish
ment was "tampering," as they termed it,
"with their Diggers. The limb of a tree
and a horse halter were sure to follow, with
but the interlude of fifteen minutes, in which
time . the culprit was supposed to make his
peace with God and man.
In the town Was a man named John Dean,
who possessed considerable • property which
he had acquired by means of that very dis
reputable (even among the Southerners them
selvei) business of slave.trading; and though
some of the lower class of the people court
ed his favor, he was passed by the better
portion of society. I had not been long in
the place when Dean betameimpressed with
the idea that it would add greatly to his im
portance if he were to connect himself with
the church, for he had now grown rather
old to follow the business to which he had
devoted soul and body during the whole of
his life. Accordingly he became a member
of the only one is the plane--a Methodist—
and was received by them as they always re
ceive the "weary wanderers" who are seek
ing to find a refuge against the wrath of an
insulted Deity. After this Dean was much
more respected and as he contributed liber
ally towards the various Charitable demands
of the church, he was fast approaching that
Much desired name of a "pillar."
We had at this time for a pastor a man
wbo preached as if he believed that slavery
was really a "divine institution," and that
his whole duty was to help extend it. The
next spring, however, brought a change, for
the conference sent us a young man, who re,
cently had been transferred from Mae of the
Eastern conferences- He was a man whose
eye denoted no fear; yet there was about hint
that calm and gentlemanly. .demeanor that
tOld•him to be a true Christian. With him
came his wite, a gentle and a kind woman,
whose whole arm seemed to• be do all the
good that lay in her power to every ono. •
Mr. Kinney (therminister)_had—not—been_
with us long when ho gave offeuee to Dean
in ono of his sermons, and—th—e—Tet-lialt—Was
that Dean wade .a great noise abetit it, and
used some very insulting language concern
ing the minister. • This comiug . to the knowl.
edge of the leading moo in the church, Dean
was promptly expelled:froth its connection ;
but vowed that he would be revenged.,

ed. off before he was removed. The darkey
could give no account of himself. The min
ister was arrested at ixtee. In. vain did he
protest his innocence. The proof was sum..
ment to.condemn. him in the minds of that
community, and , he was led away to the woods
to be executed. His wife follenved, and,.be
cause of her earnest pleadings and his,previ
one good character, they relented from their
purpose and took him to the. jail, there. to
await his trial. His .wife stayed with him
during the whole• of his long confinement,.
(some four or five months,) and won. not a
few friends by her unwavering devotion to
her unfortunate husband.
The time for his- trial drew near, and al
though sev eral lawyers • had been engaged,
they all deserted him for some eause_or , oth
er, and most 'of them were now arrayed a
gainst him. A few of us had our surpicions
that_Dean's money was at work among them,
but we bad too much regard for our own wel
fare to say anything.
The day of trial came, and after•some lit
tle preliminary business had been arranged,
Kioney's case was called.
"Where is your counsel P' Asked the
Judge.
"1 have none sir," he said• politely. "I
have / engaged several, and they have all for•
saken me."
"Well, it is hard," replied the' Judge,
"but the case will have to go , on. Will any
gentleman volunteer to A• fe < < , • ,
As the Judge asked this question a death
like silence prevailed in the court house„that
*as almost painful to bear. Several minutes
elapsed, and still no answer.
When the trial bad opened a rough-look
ing_young_man_had-been-seen-to enter the
court room and quietly take' his position in
the crowd. He had a wild and reckless look,
but was not noticed much, on account of the•
interest that was manifested in the trial that
was going on. In his hand was the iuseper.
able companion of the e woodsman—a trusty
He watched a few moments, and see
ing no one offer their services, elbowed his
way through the crowd, and; stepping in
front of the Judge's desk, said :
"If it please your Honor, I will defend the
prisoner."
The Judge was dumbfounded, and came
very near making use' of an .oath, but rep i
membering the dignity of his position, ask. I
ed:
are
"Who r you, sir ?"
"My name matters not," was the reply.--
"The courtesy of the Court would allow me
to practice in one case, at least, But here
is my license, signed by the highest tribu
nal in the land," at the same time handing
the Jud;re a lar : e earchment sheet u ion
which was affixed the well known seal of the
Supreme Court of the United States. The
Judge glanced it over, and folding it up
handed it back with a dignified bow, saying
as he did so:
"That is sufficient, sir."
The man took a seat at the rough bar, and
the ease proceeded. The lawyer who was to
open the case arose, and proceeded to state
- what he expected to prove, and having fin
ished his part of the speech, ventured to • in
dulge In some remarks concerning the stran
ger. Not a muscle of the unknown moved,
and save for fiery flashing of his eye, one
might have taken him for a mute, so calm
and undisturbed did he appear.
Having finished, .the witnesses were called,
and one after the other were examined
Kinney's attorney asked but few questions,
and wok no notes whatever. Silent and un
concerned he appeared among,that motley
group. The evidence was very conclusive,
and we were already looking upon the pris
oner, as he sat in the criminal box, with his
care-worn and beautiful wife by his side, as
a convicted man. When .Dean was called,
however, a flush was seen to cross the face
of the stranger. The prosecution had fin.
ished their interrogations, and Dean was a
bout to step down from the witness stand
when he was called back by the counsel for
the defence.
Fixing his' eye steadily on him, but still
maintaining
. his almost statue-like position
he commenced questioning him. Dean quiv
ered like an aspen leaf beneath that search
ing gaze, yet managed to answer to the ap
parent satisfaction of thoie who were array
ed against the prisoner. The questions put
to him were but few and brief, and soon he
was dismissed.
Kinnny's counsel called but one .witness
in the defence, a man who kept the only
drug-store in the place, and he swore that he
had sold Dean a large dose of a powerful,nar
cotic two or three days before the disappear
ance of the negro.
The counsel for the prosecution arose and
ono after the other proceeded to portray the
heinous crime , that had been cotnmitted f the
clearness of the evidence, and the consequen
ces of such an act upon the community.—
Am... those echo took 'art in the case a-
gainat the prisoner where some w o ba
earned cousiderablo reputation as legal men.
All of them .did their best. . _
The people of those back settlements -are
easily woved.to, acts of violence, and it was
only brthe aterts appeals of the judge they
could be iudueed to let the law take its course.
Having fair 4 coeVicted Kinney,in the minds
of those assembled., they turned on his attor
ney-and again hurled at him-all the torrent
t--denutrei4ory—cloqueoro—that—they _.
masters of'.
The listeners became restive, slid soon were
heard shouts of, "Bang him I. What right
has ho' to eorao.here to meddle with our af
faits."
Still the lawyer Who was• speaking went
on, an atlength 'some of the more impul
sive made a dash , at• the youcg stranger, with
e intention of lynching hilt. Seizing his
rifle and springing back, he said, bringing it
at the same time 'to his shoulder:
"Back, - cowards. -- Advance one step _and
-I-will fire: lam Vitt one among many, but
I;will sell •my life as dearly as possible."
Awed by. hie determined, manner, arid the
stern voice of the judge, they cowed down
titre he again. seated himself, keepirig his
eyes on the assembly with his rifle still in
his hand.
The prosecution finished; and now came
his turn. He. arose and. leaning one hand
on his rifle, commenced in rktoqe of voice so
low that it could hardly be heard. But di
rectly he. began to warns- with the subject
and as he proceeded it seemed as if an un
earthly being stood in that rough court room.
Throwing back the long 'dark hair, that fell
in thickness around his head and neck, he
proceeded directly to Deat:es evidence, and
soon 'showed conclusively that it was all a
mass of inconsistencies. The audience were
beginning- to- open - their- eyes Dean left
the. room.— Then turning to the prisoner he
told the jury of the
,wrong that had been
done him; of'the villainies Dean had prac
ticed toward him ; how he had himself hired
a man to steal the negroes; how he had hid
the negro in Kinney's stable•loft ;. bow Dean
had been prompted to all this by the fact of
being expelled from the church. By this
time_the_apectators were all on their feet,
and their heavy breathings could be heard
distinctly. Next 'wheeling suddenly around
he dealt out upon the lawyers who had as
sailed him such a display of forensic talent;
abashed
,and confused they lowered their
heads and tried to hide their shame as best
- ' I
Again turning 'to , those of the audience
who had attackeLitim,—he—proceede - d — o
plead for mercy upon the wretches who had
thus attempted to barter away the life of an
unoffenning man. Such a display of elo
quence I have never before heard nor never
again expect to.' It was like the whirlwind
driving all before it. It was more than that
excitable people could bear. Some shed
tears, others yelled only as a Texan can.—
All were roused to their highest pitch. .
He finished and took his scat, and the
State's Attorney arose and seeing the turn
that the case, had taken begged - the crowd
to becalm, and asked the jury to acquit.—
They did so, without leaving their seats.,
Amid tumultuous. shouts, 31r. Kinney and
his wife were borne back to the parsonage.
Some•of the roughest made an attempt to
seize the most prominent lawyer who had
been arrayed against the prisoner, but again
the stranger sprang to his feet and. standing
between him and them waved them away,
while with his rifle at Ms shoulder he said.
"Back, cowards. back He is but one
and you are many 1"
The crowd fell back, and in the confusion
of the moment the stranger disappeared.
Dean was , never again seen in the place,
an'
. not long after a power orattorney came
authorizing one of the most prominent men
in the place to dispose of his property and
send him the proceeds.
Mr. Kinney preached the next Sunday,
but it was . last sermon with us. He
had enough of Texan life, and returned
North. When the present war broke out
he went as chaplain of one of the Now York
regiments and was killed at tho battle , of
Savage Station.

A Hard One.
Bill bad been' to sea; and on his return
he was narrating to his uncle an adventure
which he had met on board a ship,
"I was one night leaning over the taffrail
looting down into the mighty ocean;" said
William, "when my gold watch fell from my
fob and immediately sunk out of sight. The
vessel was going ton knots an hour; but
nothing daunted, I sprang over the rail down
and after a long search, found it; came up
close'under the stern, and climbed back to
the deck, without any one knowing I had
been absent."
"William," said his uncle, slightly eleva-
ting his broad brim and opening his' eyes to
their widest capacity, Low fast did thee say
the vessel was• gaing ?"
"Ten knots an hour." •
"And thee dove down into the sea and
came up with the watch, and climbed up the
rubber chains
"Yes, uncle."
" "And thee expects me to believe thy sto
ry ?"
"Of course I You wouldn't thinicsof 'cal

"William," replied the uncle gravely "thee
knows, I never call anybody names; but

come to me and say, Josiah I want to find
the biggest liar in Philadalphin, I would
come straight to thee, and say to , thee, Wil

A VISION.
. .
The. followi ng, accMint of a vision is from
the Western MOlion Advocate r:
N. B. had teem tiviee Married, but was I
left a; second time a widOwer with.= (laugh- '
tees and one soni After these bereavements,.
Mr. B. inferrett the Lord diduot dethign him
to ebjoy the blessing of a wife; and be re
solved to sacrifice all personal , oontenienies
and enjoyments of the conjugal relation, and
never attempt to 'select another partner in
life. This resolutionhe sacredly. kept for
nearly tbree o yearti„iih the argitinents and
3
counsel etthe ininiate •of the Circuit, in the
State of Delaware . ; tirevaifeclo Oif hint to
change his Mind. The consideration of his
numerous family Off diiiighters rot:ll4ring so
mueli a. mothers mire. and instruction, was
one of the strong reasons thatindimed bin
to admit that his resolution Might be found
in error. The minister, encouraged by the
good impression he had made, and the in
fluence he bad gained over Mr. 8., took the
liberty to name to him an, excellent wife and
a good settler for his children, and.appoint
ed the time and :place for Mr. B. to meet
him and be introduced to her. Some oc
currence took place which prevented Mi. B.
from meeting the minister aecordidg to ap= -
pointment. The minister, intent upon,. his
plan, proeured Mr. B.'s consent to meet him
a second time, and the appointment was
,made; but an unexpected Providence again
prevented Mr. B. from being there at the
time. They then made a third arrangement,
and Mr. -B. determined, if life and health
permitted; he would certainly meet his friend,
'andle_made • acquainted with the lady re
=emended. Before the time arrived, how
ever, Mr. B. was admonished is a dream
that the woman so favorably spoken of by
the minister was not the one be ought to
marry, and he was conducted in a vision to
the residence of the young lady that would
be a suitable helpmate, and that Providence
designed jiDrilimlhe_diatatite-was-sisty
-Fniric and he had only traveled twenty
miles in that direction. Yet the map of the
whole road was laid before hie mind, and
the way he should go so distiuetly marked
in his dream that ho seemed perfectly' fa
miliar with all the' road. He dreamed the
distance to be traveled, the name of the
young woman and the name of her step
father, Col. Vickers, the appearance of the
house in which he lived, how it was paint
ed; that it was situated near a river, with a
warehouse near at hand. He dreamed, alto,
that there were five young ladies belonging
to the, same 'family; and he had the one
selected for him so accurately described in ,
his dream that ha could easily • distinguish
her from the other tour. In the morning he
awoke, and thought nothing of his vision,
except as an extraordinary and remarkable
dream. The next night he had precisely the
same vision repeated, and the same things
presented to his mind in a still more vivid;
manner. Mr. B. then began to think that
their might be some indication of Providence
in hia dream; and all that day he made it a
subject of sincere and ardent prayer that God
woulddirect him in the way he should go in
a matter so graie, and involving so much in
' st-to-hinaself-artd-his-mo - -- , - • . -..
That night be had the vision repeated a third
time, and he determined then to follow . the
directions furnished him, and fully test the
'circumstances of the dream by a practical'
examination, and see if the results would be
developed as he' dreamed them. He immedi
ately sent a note to the preacher, informing
him that he had changed his mind, and must
decline meeting him at the time appointed.
Mr. B. started in the direction indicated by
his vision, and after the twenty miles he was
acquainted with, his dream was his only ,
guide, He, however, had no difficulty, foe
the map of the road was so vividly impress
ed upon his mind, that ho was able to ilia
•tinguished his road from all others. The
gentleman whose name was given him in his
dream he had never seen or heard of. B e
knew the farm as soon as he saw it. The
house and everythiog about it, appeared pre
cisely as they had been presented.in his vis
ion. , He alighted hem his horse, and en
tered the beautiful house. The personal ap
pearance of the young lady was so vividly i
impressed on his mind by the vision thrice
repeated, that he readily' recognized 'her is
company with four others, whom ho found,
in the same family. lie soon ascertained the
name of the young woman,
and found it to
be Sarah T., according to his dream. This
young lady had determined, and had often
said, she never Would marry a widower.—
Miss. 7. said the very moment she first saw
Mr. B. she felt a strange tremor pass over
her whole system. .She had a vivid impres
sion that he was a widower, and that he had
come to see her. She afterward confessed
that a sudden emotion of affection for him
arose in her heart as soon as he came into
her presence. Mr. B. obtained the pleasure
of au interview with her that evening, an d
a
was successful in securing her consent to
visit her again; and.address her on the sub
ject of marriage. He., however, dlci not tell I
her• his dream till she had engaged to become
his wife. After a courtship ()fa few months,
they were happily married, and lived togeth
er for more than fift y years. Mr. B. died
on the 25th day of March, 1842, and Mrs.
B. lived until the 7th of April,' 1847. For
sixty years perhaps, they were both • distin
guished and useful members of the 3letho
dist B . isco .al Church.. - ~.
That was a good joke on a young, and gal
lant Hoosier officer, who,on receiinisga note
from a lady ''retinesting the plealsurn of his
company" at a party to be given at her house,
on the evening designatfd took his volun
teers an 4 marched them to the youngli.dy's
residence. Whaa it was explained to
that it was himself alone who had ,been

Jack Frost, like the grasp of a miser„

snow bird is remarked amorq ornitholeg,iste
for the obscurity which hangs around its hits

the sooiety of man. Whence it atimekiiir
its exit is as sudden as its entrance,) no one
has been able to discover% it is supposed ,
by some to be in reality another bird, omy
that its plumage, by some mysterious and ir

There is a. feeling of melancholy, passing over
the Mind when the bleak and dreary. land—
