Our gore cannot soar to that beautiful land, But our visions have told of its bliss, And our souls by the gale-from its gardens are fan •nti,d When we faint in the desert ot . thie.

IVEISHICOEIIAI44..NIto THE HORSE THIEVES. A LAWYER'S ADVENTURES. BY B. COBB, JR. For some months there had been a pair of desperate characters prowling about th e country, doing all sorts of evil deeds, • but mating horse stealing their special business. It was said (and the report had a foundation) that they were 'escaped convicts—villians who had once • been sent from London to South Wales, and who had tried to make their escape and reach this country: That they were desperate characteri was' evident from some of their deeds ; they having re peatedly attempted to kill those who thoUght of molesting them. But the precious scamps were at last 'Caught and • brought before • a justice for examination and commitment, I was engaged as prosecuting attorney, and _made my appearance accordingly, being -de termined that a case should be Made strong enough to hold them. certainly never saw two more inhuman looking fellows who could lay claim to a fair share of intelligence. They gave the • names of Job Gilbrand and Lumen Wear gan. as theirs. The first was a abort, broad shouldered, ball-necked, low-'crowed man, with an ugly vengeful look; and 1. Sort' of tiger restlessness in all his movements.— The second had all his• companion's brutal ity of expression, without the same look of intelligence. He was taller than Gilbrand, but not so massive. As they gazed' around the • assembled multitude they seemed to have one feeling, that was. a desire to ex terminate the whole of us. Blood-thirsti ness was written as plainly on their faces as it ever was in the glaring eye of the caged panther. In short, they seemed to have.no moral perception at all. They were creat ures of lust and fear, and knelt no' other governing principles. Of course it *became my duty to have them 'tionimitted if possible, and I deter mined, to . probe their' characters and careers as deeply as possible, I had witnesses e nough-to swear dittetly to their horse steal ing; blit I was not satisfied with this. They bad engaged a lawyer for, defence; and • he set up .the claim that we knew - nothing. a gainst their characters previous, to the mak ing orthepre - sent charge.: !Here I opened• my hatter, and fired away. I' bed . my wit times present, what they timid Oat sweat I easily arrived at my. introduCtion. I' held, them up to the " gaze • of the multitude as the total:doodad villians they realy were; l l . ed . •n p Abair forting: ?life i u Faigland; • • I .brought : to' life their transporiatien„ b fort Jackson; I toid:of •tbeir; ; ieseape •hence, and wound' up by =fastening upon them• malty dark Crimes sines their arrival in this .conn try. I knew that they had sworn to killSny ii an and Mali • had on more than one oceasion,,tried,to take life. These thiiegs made me more• bitter than I otherwise Might hatre been.. Ever and anon, I brought up some strong point in rascality. I would turn my - eyes- upon ,the prisonerkandimust admit i -that,-even- then with all the zeal of my cause to fire my soul I could not help shruddefing at the glinee which Job Gilbmud gave me. It was not a look of hate nor anger; but it was en ex pression of malevolent, demoniac triumph which seemed to amply that he was perfect ly satisfied—l was having my own way now —that he would have his in his own good time. The result of the trial was just what ev erybody had known it to be, The prisoners was fully committed to await the action of grand jury. As I rose from my seat I .saw Gilbrand bekcon to me with his finger. I went to him and he whispered in my ear. "I'll have your life as sure as there is a God in heaven! There is not a person on earth to keep me from your The manner of his speaking at first stir tied me some, but I boon looked upon it as only a threat—not that he might not have the will to do the deed, but I did - not be lieve that h e had the power. Still I saw, the jailor, and hinted :to limthat be had better look rather Sharpe after these pris oners than was -usual with him, for they were old jail. birds, and up to all tricks o of evading bolts and-b ars and stone walls. Ile told me I need be ander no apprehension of their escape. I went away about my usual busioess, and two weeks had passed from the time of the trial before our justice's court. The ex citement consequent upon the arrest Of the horse thieves had mostly died out, and peo ple let their horses inn without fear of hav ing them stolen. One evening just as I was leaving my office, a man came to me and in formed me that the horse thieves had made their escape. They. had left jail some time during the previons night, and all day-vari ous parties had been in search of them, but without effect. The villains had contrived to remove the heavy , stone sill- into . which the sill of the iron bars of the window were fixed, the cement having been displaced by some iron instrument which they had adroit ly concealed about theta. I asked if any traces had been found of them, and WIT in ferment told =me that two meal answering their description,. had been seen abont ten miles off that morning, making towards the seacoast. I bad been away all day on business and had just returned, when this information Was given me, or I bad heard of it before.--;. However, I wthat every possible means were being employed to . recapture 'the rim; cals and I went home with strong hopes that they Might yet Make ti'ec t uaititairaes of our superior court. ,At first the thought oc curred to me that Gilbrand might make an effort to carry out the bloody effort sworn me; but I was not . under 'apprehen sion, for I did not think he would risk his own neck. I believed he had placed as great a distance as possible between 'me and him self, and. that he would• not again visit our town except upon , compulsion. My wife' heard of the escape of the two prisoners, but she knew nothing, of the threat hich lie made, against me. .1 did not tell her of it at thetime, for I feared she might worry of it, and of course I meant that it should be kept from her now. My house was near • the centre of the village, but some way back from the main street, upon a gentle, eminence, and surrounded by : trees, my garden and' park separating it . entirely from other buildings. During the evening I thought the matter over, and finally made up my mind that the idea of Job Gilbrand's coming to put his threat into execution Was simply ridiculous. I knew—l knew very well—that he had just the will and disposition to do it, and I believe that it would have afforded him a sincere gratification to put • a knife to. my heart; but I 'did not believe he would risk hie own _life _under -any -eircumstences,-for such purpose. Yet on going up to my ' chamber, I examined the pistol that lay in the bureau drawer. ' My business, as col lecting agent for several heavy houses in dis tant parts of the country, required that I should at times have large sums of money by me, and as many people knew of ibis fact, I knew that my premises might hold out gold en inducements to daring burglars; so I had some two years before purchased a good re volver, which I kept loaded 'in my chamber. I never supposed I should shoot anybody, ' but in case I should hoar the footsteps of intruders at night upon my premises, I should not only feel safe with such a weap on, but the possession of .a "six shooter," gives a man ewonderful advantage in an ar gument under such' Circumstances. He can persuade an interloper to leave when mere words might be ineffectual. On the . present occasion I thought I would just examine my pistil, to see it it was all right, for there .was do knowing; whet might happen. If any one should enter my house .1 felt sure that my wife or. self must be awa kened, and then the - weliplin might be an a greeable companion, if nothing more. I saw that-the barrels were all loaded; the caps all sound, and then I put the pistol back into the drawer, and went ; to bed. My wife ask ed me what I meant to-do, and I told her I had• considerable- money in 'the house, and the c ircum s tan c e-had merely reminded me of' my, weapon..'„ 'Welaughed over the idea, of !nit ki ling robber add 'then went to sleep.

Behind him in the halt haw the outlines of, another map, whom I took, of, course, to be McGargan. , This discovery operated tiPon me like the shook of a powerful galvanic battery. There was a horrible,' deadly fear thrilling through me, and , depriving me of both. sense and Tes sa' for a moment; but the ' very weight of the terrible cirounistafice served' .to hervnitie up and in a very brief ipa6e of time I was as calmus need be. _I mean my thoughts were' all collected and m,y instinct sharpiiand clear. My wife slept on, for as yet there 'bad been no noise, mitt that somethiOg that must have awakened me- My chamber was a large square room, and the bed in one corner. The window through which the moofilight came, was dose by the foot of the' bed and another piercing the mute wall, only a few feet off. lletween these two windows stood the .boiaan,. there being on ly the space of one window between it and the bed. Of cotuse I knew there would be but a few moments for reflection. My motion bad caused the assassin to hesitate, but he would not hesitate long. He had come to put: his threats into execution, and I knew the man well enough to know that be would do. it without the least compunction, and that no occurrence would deter Mai. If•I had only given importance enough to previous cir cumstances to have been thoroughly on , my guard, I should have had my pistol; beneath my pillow; but I vas , wholly unarmed, and a successful stratagem couldilone saie me.— With this grim presence • before me my thoughts ran very clear and rapid.. My first thought of suocormy first ,hope of safety —was in .my pistol,. I must get that, •at some rate. I knew enough of human na ture to know what even an assassin would be most likely to do under oettain circumstan ces. Oilbrand did not knoir that be was dis covered, and yet a slight motion of my body caused him to hesitate. He evidentlY fell sire' of his and be would do his Work with the least noise. It was a clear, cold night, and this circumstance helped me to a valuable thought. • "Mary,',' said , speakiag, to my wife,,in a yawning' rani, t hough I Win hot Wholly awake, "I'm cold." • ' • My wife awoke and asked me what .was the matter.: • . • "I'm cold," I replied, "Isn't there an , ex. tra quilt in one of the bureau drawers She said there was, but-did-not •seino alined to be wakeful. As I had anticipated, as soon as • I spoke the lurking assassin (wombed away out of sight in the hall, and' I believed he would remain so while I up and got the quilt. If he did not suspect my knowledge of his presence he would certainly prefer to let me• arise quietly, and then go to, bed again ; than , to attack me• when I might make resistance); for be had reason to suppose that my iwife and self would,be asleep again very sem—, And then I could not leave the room to give any alarm without passing' directly by him, so he would feel safe on that. score. , • I leaped . out of the bed and Went to 'the bureau; I may have trembled some at the thought of death blow while I stood there with my' back to the 'doer, but I felt pretty well assured that all would be 'safe until I got into bed again; and so it proved. I o pened the upper rawer first and grasped My pistol. I Muttered something about not find mg things where they belonged,latid don o pened another drawer, from 'which I ' took the desired article. As I returned to the bed I allowed the pistol to drop by my ; pil low, and then I proceeded to spread the quilt in proper order, never One allowing my eyes to turn towards the door. - After this I crept into bed again, and as, I grasped my pistol and smuggled down .l . remarked - that I shCuld now sleep with twine comfort. By', lying on my left side, my faCe• Was turned towards the hall o -and when Iliad so turfing. ed the bed-clothes that I could, see in that direction without my eyes being seen in ye turdand my right hand was Where it could be flee iiran instant, I was prepared for the result, My wife slept soundly again. .As somas I judged it judicious, I commenced to snore. The sound had hardly left my nasal organs when Job Gilbrand again made his appear ancein the door, and close . behind him oftme Maga' gaW. They. had removed their shoes, and theirtread was noisless. Gilbrand clutch ed his knife in his right hand, and it was half raised as he crept forward. Not a. mus cle in my body moved—not even my beak. —and.my'nerves were like steel. I waited until I could catch' the cat-like gleaming of hie eyes—until loould hear his quick deep breathing—until his murdeious knife was lifted for ,the .death-stroke- 7 and then .1 freed my right arm aid raised my pistol. The movement was instantaneous, , and my aim sure, for the muzzle of the weapon was with. in two feet .61, , his bosom. I lined, and he' started back with a sharp groan.
