Their plumed heads are bowed.
Their haughty banner, trailed In dust.
Is now their martial .shxoud
And plenteous funeral tears have wash'd
The red stains from each brow.
And the proud forms, by battle gashed.
Are free from augulsh now.
The neighing troop, the flashing blade.
The bugle's stirring blast.
The charge, the beautiful cannonade.
The din and shout are passed
Nor war's wild note, nor glory's peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight.
Those breasts that never more may feel
The rapture of the fight.
Lffce the fierce Northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau.
Flashed with the triumph yet to gain,

And long the pitying sky has wept
Above Us inblder'd slain.

"Yfcli have come here to be victim

entered my room on the evening of
my arrival at Fairhaven.
"How, and by whom ?" I inquired.
"The Sphinx Mis- Alice Carroll

men who are insane enough to ven

with a flourish.
"Why do you call her the Sphinx?"
I asked.
"Because she is a psrson about
whom
nobody knows anything: A
vko keeps her secrets in a
woman vi;o Keeps
way that contradicts her womanhood.
Two months ago she dropped down
here in compaii with a dried up old
lady for chaperone, and within a fort
night every single man in Fairhaven
was in love with her, and the belles
who had been belles before her coming
were forced to play Mariana, and con
sole themselves as best they might by
planning vengeance on their rival.
Their mamas have done detective
work ever since, in the hope of find

Mi-ery loves company, and I did not
blame him. Yes, I wanted to make
Mhs Carroli's acquaintance, btlt I
diii not intend to lie conquered by her.
Forewarned, in my ca-ae, meant fore
armed.
"I agree with Yates and Thomson,"
r 4uid to myself prospecting on Miss
Carroll's face, as I sat opposite her at
tea. Clear cut features, soft, (lark
blue eyes, with the pure, faintly
flu-died complexion which always ac
companies them, hazel-brown hair
all her own what more was needed
to makea beaut? And then her dress,
almost Quakerish in simplicity
what a refreshing contrast it was to
the grand toilets of the women about
her! In my heart was a feeling of
gratitude for the wretched Charles for
having warned me in time, and sav
ed me from falling a victim Id the
dark eyes and rippling hazel hair and
soft gray dress of "the Sphinx."
Wo were introduced that evening,
but it was plain to see that my manly
grace and beauty failed to touch her
stubborn heart. I was it is unpleas
nnt to confess, but you shall have the
whole truth I was snubbed. Not
that evening alone, but the nest day,
and the next and the next. After
that I avoided the charn.lug Mi
Carroll, and sketched and med. luted
diligently pn the proper method of
dealing with that coutumaciousyoung
woman.
One day when T had been a sojourn
er in Fairhaven for nearly a fortnight
I was Fcrambling over the rocks,
sketching apparatus in hand, my
thoughts as uual buy with Mis-
Carroll. Turning a corner of a huge
projecting boulder, I found myself
face to face with her. She wax vain
ly endeavoring to grap a flower.
wlu'h rooted in a cleft of the crag just
above her head, defied all her efforts.

she replied with amiable Ofngracfntls
ness, putting forth her band for the
coveted treasure"
"rftop a moment, if you pIeao,"
said I, still retaining the flower; "be
fore giving it to you, I wish to make
a 'paction' with you, as the Scotch
say."
The clear eyes looked me over,
which would have made a less self
pised man feel verv small aud hum
ble ; but I was not daunted
"1 find, Mis Carroll." I went on
serenely, "that wondering along the
hem'h and among the.e hills alone is
not pleu-unt" picking blueberries
with only one's own thoughts for
companions i3 a dreary business, as
you will admit, while a solitary fish
er is the most mi-erable of mortals.
Do not you agree with me?"
"Yes," she answered, with a faint
smile.
"Thank you, now I will proceed,
Sppaking mildly, I abhor my fellow
creatures, so tin you ; and friends till
degenerate Into lovers, while mine
but no matter about that. It is suffi
cient that we have eschewed them all
and condemned ourselves to solitude
and lonliness till we begin to feel sad
lv repentant of our decision. To rem
edy the situation, we mut take each
other for friends. You will find me a
very useful person. I asure you; I
can scramble throimh bush and

with unwearied patience; besides I
am not nppres-ively amiable. 3011 will
therefore be enabled to quarrel with
me whenever 3011 wish to clear 3our
mental atmosphere."
"Your reccommendation reads like
one of those pathetic appeals in the
Herald, where the advertiser a veri
table Crichton 113 bis own showing
will be happ.y to work for the small
est possible wages if he ma3' benefit
his emph3er thereby," said Miss Car
roll, laughing ; "but will yon not re
pent 3our offer when I tell 3011 that I
dislike dancing and flirtation equally,
never sing duet- nor carry a fan, and
cannot read Owen Meredith's poetr3
nor Ouidn's novel?"
"Bravo ! You are the coming wo
man." I replied. "Now; whatel-e?"
"Nothing else." she answered ;
"but T must have ni3oWif way alwas

that you are not to claim all the larg

That evening the world of Fair
haven was surprised and indignant.
BEOWNVILLE. NEBRASKA,
and even Charley looked at me venge-1
fully, as I sauntered along the beach '
by Miss Carroll's side. But what did
I care? Was I not happy? Very
happy indeed; and a3 the weeks flew
by, r grew happier still in the con
sciousness that each day I was getting
deeper and deeper in love with her.
Did Miss Carroll love me in return?
I had not the remotest idea. Watch
her everso closely, I could see nothing
which could give me reason to hope
that she regarded me in any other
light than that of a friend. Why did
I not aik her? For two reasons:
First, because our compact of friend
ship forbade it; second, because I had
no desire to give her the pleasure of
refusing me. So I kept the even ten
or and soprano of my way, as some
body phrases it till at length there
intervened but a day before my de
parture from Fairhaven.
"Will you go with me to the North
Cliff to-morrow, Miss Carroll," I ask
ed, as we sat by the driftwood fire,
watching the shiplights glimmer on
the bay. "It will be our last day to
gether." A deep sigh from me.
"I was just about to suggest our go
ing;" she answered ; "we will taken
lunch and spend the day iu bidding
a pathetic farewell to all our old
haunts;' this very cheerful.
"How cooly she takes it I" I tho't,
biting in 3 Iipand longing to say some
thing savage aud unchristian in re
turn. Morning broke gray and chill, and
by breakfast-time everybody prophe
sied rain ; but nothing daunted, we
set out for the North Clifie. Miss Car
roll gayer than I had ever seen her;
I very miserable and ill-tempered but
afraid te show it.
We had said the pathetic farewell,
which Miss Carroll wished, first to
one familiar spot, then another and
another; had eaten our lunch with
excellent appetite, and atone o'clock
we were taking our way along the
narrow, rugged path which led to the
top of North Cliff, when all at once
the rain commenced to fall heavily.
Miss Carroll looked at me in dis
may. "Shall we turn back?" she asked.
"No." I said ; "we are miles from
any bou-e, and would be soaking wet
before we had gone a dozen rods, be
sides; we mu -t climb to the top of
the cliff and take shelter under Lesin
ing Rock."

to topple overat'asmBTnent's notice
bSnce its name. Grimly we plodded
on, and at length, wet. cold and for
lorn, gained the wished for shelter,
and sat down to tlie contemplation of
our own wretchedness. Steadily the
rain fell from put the laden sky I
steadily as thong'i it had a mind to
bring about a soond deluge, if possi
ble, and from out our covert we watch
ed it in unavailing wrath.
"It has rained four hours," said
Miss Carroll, shivering and taking out
her watch, "and there is no prospects
of its holding ii) we msi3 as well
makeup our minds to go b ick to
Fairhaven. Good heavens! what is
th it?" springing to her feet in terror
as she spoke.
Well might she be terrified, for at
lb-it moment a great mass of earth
and rock, loosened l3 the rain, shook
a if from ail earthquake Shock, tot-
tered, and then fell sullenly. heavil
down, down to the base of the cliff
five hundred feet below. The path
was gone, and in its place there 3awn
ed a chasm more than a score of feet
in width. We were" seemingl.y shut
off from all escape, and as the thought
came to us we gazed at each other In
silent horror.
"That is unfortunate," said m3
companion, recovering her presence
of mind first. "We shall have to re
main here autil help comes, shall we
riot ?"'
Help! Why we would not be mis
sed before morning, and how could
she endure the night's cold and ex
posure? No, I would make my way
down, or die tr.ving. and with the re
Solve come an irresistible longing to
hear from Mi-. Carroll's lip- that ahe
loved me. -Let her but tell me so
once, and then even death would be
sweet.
"You cannot remain here over
night." I said to her. "f must con
trive to get ilown and bring men with
ropes and ladders. Alicia! Miss Car
roll ! if I fail, if I lose my life, you
will think of me sometimes ?"
"If you die." she interrupted, "the
chances will be largely in favor of
my dying ton. in which casp it would
not be possible to think of 3ou, Mr.
Rodney."
"You are wantonly cruel. " I re
turned ; "will you not say .something
kind to me before I go?"
"You have been ven useful," she
said slowly, aud looking at me indif
ferently. "Your compliment makes me think
of the sentimental Teuton woman,
who said that, her husband was the
handiest thing about the houe. ex
cept the new cook stove." I rejoined,
forced to laugh iu spite of myself
"Do ou know what the hero of a ro
mance does in such au emcrgeucy as
this?"
"No." she answered, "do .you ?"
"He clenches his hands tightl.v.and
pours forth iu burning words his
adoration for the heroine whom he
has long loved iu secret."
"How much romance diftr3 from
reality," said Miss Carroll. "J nm, or
ought to be. a heroine, and-my whole
;soul centers in the thought of mv

THURSDAY. DECEMBER 3. 1874.
"I look at your lovely face and for-
get all earthly consideration?, supper
among the rest." I answered.
"I am not lovely at present," re
turned she; "my nose is too 'darkly,
deeply, beautifully blue.' "
"After all." I said, ignoring her re
mark, "the novelist's view of the
casp is the bet one ; if people are
doomed to perish, how much better
to die loving and I eloved.'
"On the contrary, how much bet
ter to reflect in their last moments
that they have not made simpletons
of themselves," replied Miss Carroll.
"Mis? Carroll!" I exclaimed, "a
villian would scramble down, leaving
you to perish, unless, unless you con
fessed your love for him. What if I
were to do so?"
"You arc not a villain." phe repli
ed, "which alters matters very much;
bo it is not worth while to speculate
on what I should do if you were to
abandon me."
"Heartless woman," I cried, indig
nantly. "That is right, Tf you are angry
you will be less liable to take cold,"
she said.

"As you have told me of your in

"This is the first time you have ev

a tone which was meant to be re

"You cau think of chicken and

you," and with that I swung myself

Highlanders have the habit, when
talking their English, vuch as it is, of
interjecting the personal pronoun
"lie," where not required ; such as,
"The king he has come,", instead of
"The king has co'me." Often in con
sequence, a sentence or an expression
is rendered sufficiently ludicrous.
Thus a clerg3man opened his dis
discourse: "My friends, 3-ou will find the sub

A Strange Story of a Dead Plan's
Tcngeance.
Jealousy, Persecution, Snlclde, Mur
der, knd a Ghostly Confession.
From the St. Louis Globe.
To what spiritualism is going lo
lead is a problem which is puzzling
niaii3' minds. It is a problem, too,
which seems in a fair wa3 to find a
solution at no distant da3 if we m:i3
rely upon tlie accounts of the various
wonderful. manifestations which ure
being published from d:3r to da3.
Formerly the ghost visitants con
tented themselves with rapping,
writing, tipping tables, moving furn
iture, speaking with the lips of per
sons over "whom the3' were supposed
to have control, aud playing other
pranks which were interesting and
unaccountable, but which appear to
have no particular purpose, useful or
otherwise. But in these latter da3s,
if we can place confidence iu the
manifestations which have been pro
duced at the Kate King seances, at
the Edd3 homestead, and ia various
nfiier manners and places, spiritual
ism is advancing at a rate which, if it

later reduce it 10 one 01 me exuci sci-

gained the power of materializing
and dematerlnJizing tberii-elves at

parel, as well as in the bod.v. which
they wore When in the fly.-h. More
than this it is asserted in some quarter.-
that they have the power of tak
ing upon themselves the
IMAGKS OF GIVING JrCX,
and in their shape and likeness doing
evil deed-, for which their counter
parts must suffer. If this be true
and it would be difficult to saj bat
is impossible in this age the crim
inal records of the country will be
fore long present some curious feat
ures which were utterty unknown to
former ages.
Of ibis sort is the strange story
which ia here to be related.
At Mendola, Illinois, lives a medi
um of extraordinar3 force, named
Bett.v Milton. Although it is but a
short time since her powers in this
line have been developed, she has suc
ceeded in producing manifestations,
according to the testimony of respect
able, intelligent and credible witness
es, which are fully equal to anof the
phenomena which have been observ
ed among the most advanced Spiritu
alists. She does not compel specta
tors to sit in darkness while the ma
terialized forms of disembodied spir
its flit before them, nor does she get
out of the reach of investigation by
shutting herself up in a cabinet; but
all the phenomena are produced
while she rils entranced among the
audience, who are thus able to judge
for themselves whether she is part3 to
an3 fraud.
Latel3' she ha- been troubled 1)3' the
presence of n spirit whom she feared
and dreaded, but who, in spite of all
her efforts,
PERSISTENTLY STROVE
to gain control of her organization.
It was evident that this spirit desired
to make through her some strange
and dark statement, and its nature
could be guessed at b her occasional
wild mutterings concerning hatred
and murder, revenge and remorse
She gradually 3ielded to the influence
of this troublesome spirit, and finally,
near the close of October to be ex
act on the -3rd he stood beside her,
in the shape of a slender, tall oung
man, with long hair and German
features. There were a dozen or
more persons present ali of whom
saw him, ami saw that the medium
was in estate of trance while lbe-ma-terialiZe'd'
spirit made his
GHOSTLY CONFESSION
in these words, which were heard by
all present:
"I come to make a confession, to
express m remorse, to atone as f:tr as
I may for a wrong done. My name,
when in life, was Karl Reysfadt. On
the night of May S, lbGJ. I murdered
Andrew Garrity. It was my crime
for which Martin Fynes died in Al -
j ton Prison
I was, at the time, in
1 spirit form, but assumed the likeness

done, in order that he might be eus-j auother jury, and Fynes was sent to
pected of the crime and hanged for It. j the State Prison for a third trial, but
I stole his knife; I purposely eucouu-j
tered two men who knew him, that
they might honestly swear to haviug
seen him near the scene of the mur
der; I hid the bludgeon where it was
found at his house. I did all this
that I might be revenged upon him
for a great wrong he had done me. I
was the instrument in the hands of
an nil-wise Justice in taking the life
of Andrew Garrity, for he deserved
his fate; but my purpose was evil. In
ni3 later spirit life, in higher stages
of progression, I have learned for
giveness ; I have been taught to re
pent the deed of my wicked heart.
For this reason I have come back to
attest the innocence of Martin
Fynes."
Having finished this confession, the
form began to fade, aud shortly disap
peared, and was never seen again.
The circumstance was so singular
that inquiries were set on foot by two
gentlemen Mr. N. Moultou, of Men
dota, and Mr. B. Lnugley. of Cen
tralia. They discovered that there
had been such a person as Andrew
Garrltj; that he had been murdered
as stated in the spirit-confession; that
Martin F3nes had been arrested and
tried for the murder, and that he had
died iu the State Prison at Alton.
Thev also discovered that Karl Re
stadt had been ill-treaded b3 Martin
Fynes, and that he was dead when
Garrit3 was murdered.
The trouble between F3nes and
Re3stadt had begun at Lasalle near
ly TEN YEARS PREVIOUS
to the murder of Garrity, when and
where they were both courting the
same girl, whose name was Ellen
Glover. This was when the Illinois
Central Railroad was being built, and
Lasalle was known as a "hard" place,
being pretiy well filled with saloons
and rough characters. Fne3 drank
quite freeby, and Reystadt not onlj
drank beer, but was guilty of playing
the guitar and writing verses. This
combination of bad qualities was too
much for Ellen Glover, and she mar
ried F3ues. Fynes had been jealous
of Reysfadt during his courtship, and
his jealousy stuck to him after mar- posed crime were forgotteu, until the
riage. It "was not enough that he time of the remarliKble revelation,
had gained the object of his affec-j -"t purported to be made through
tions; he felt bound to degrade his , the mediumship of Miss Betty MII

on them, greatly to the di-gust of the
young German, who was so cut by
this conduct that he left Lasalle.
In 1S5S Mrs. Fynes died, her death
being probabh accelerated 13 the
brutal conduct of her husband, and
Martin moved to Carlinville, in Ma
coupin county, where he worked at
blacksmitbing with a cousin named
McLaughlin. At Carlinville he
found Reystadt. who had openpd a
small sal. on there, and the old enmi
ty was renewed. Martin again per
secuted the 3'oung German, and ridi-
eu!ed him by relating the story of his
unsucces?fu! courtship, until the lat-

persecutor, which onl3 drew him in
to another and deeper difficulty, and
shorty afterward he was found dead
in his bed, having poisoned himself
with prussic acid. He left a state
ment to the effect that he had killed
himself, but tbrft Fynes was responsi
ble fin bis taking off, rlmi that he hop
ed after death to accomplish
A DEEPER VENGEANCE
upon the man who had made life a
burden to him.
Martin F3nes occupied himself
with drinking and neglecting his bu
siness, until the spring of lSu"2, when
he went into partnership with an old
Irishman named Andy Garrit3. in
the purchase of horses and mules for
the St. Louis market. At last he
persuaded his partner to let him take
a drove to St Louis, which he sold
for some So. 000, but returned to Carl
inville without an mone3, declaring
that lie had got drunk and had been
robbed b3 gamblers. Garrit3 refused
to believe this stor3. and had F3nes
indicted for embezzlement. He was
released on bail, and a few ds3s after
his release Garrit3 was found dead at
the tide of the road leading to his
house, with c fraMured skull and sev
eral stabs in the back. Near the bod3
were found a beaxy club, which had
been one of the instruments of the
murder, and a bowie-knife, which
was identified as the prcpert3 of
Fnes. He whs therefore arrested
and indicted, and his trial took place
at the next term of the Circuit Court.
On the trial the evidence was con
flicting. Two men swore that they,
had seen Fnes, on the night of the
murder, near the place where tiie
bod3 was found, Jf4th a bludgeon iu
his hand, and that the3 had spoken
I to him, but he had not answered
mem. r-our oiner persons tesiiiieu
that lie was at a distance from the
spot where the murder occurred, and
accounted for all his movements dur
ing the night. It was proved, how
ever, be3ond a doubt, that the knife
which was found near trhe mardared
man was h"i3 property. Several other
cireum-tances were put in evidence.

In these proceedings there was
nothing unusual or supernatural, but
there were some circumstances con
nected with Fynes prison K-fe, i-n iall
aud In the State Prison, which are
en tirel3 unexplainable. except In?
view of the revelation which pur
pprt3 to have been lately made b the
spirit of Karl Beystadt, through tbo
mediumship of Miss Bettj Milton
While in prison, Fynes professed to
have been visited and persecuted by
the ghost of the young German, who
uppeared to him, when his cell was-
diml3 lighted, even in the presonce
of other persons, telling him that he
(.Fynes) was. going to be hanged, and
frightened him to such an extent
that it was thought best never to
leave hith alone at night. The only
person besides Fynes who claimed to
have ever seen this spiritual persecu
tor, was one of the keepers, who de
clared that he caught a glimpse o
him at a time when Fvnes' cell-mate-was
removed for a few minutes. Ho
described the ghost intruder as ba
ing THE EXACT COUNTEHPART
of Martin Fne3, standing b3 his eldeji.
and differing from him in no particu
lar of dress, form or feature. The
keeper was so astonished at this vis
ion, that he hastily closed the door
and called for help. In a few mo
ments it was opened, but thecounter
part had disappeared, and Fjmes was
h'ing on his pallet in a fainting con
dition, or in a state of trance. There
after F3nes declared that the murder
of Garrity had been committed by a.
demon that had taken his form and:
had possessed itself of his knife, and
that this demon had frequent' visit
ed him iu the jail at Carlinvillo and?
in the State Prison, terrifying him;
almost to death. Of course he was
regarded as insane, and the keeper
who declared he had seen the vision
above referred to was considered as
being in no better mental condition.
