For the Journal. una, On finding the autograph of a dear friend, who fell at Chickamauga. This little scrap, once thrown aside. How precious now it seems, It speaks of joys long passed away. And tells of blighted dreams Of a youthful heart once full of love, Cut down in all Its bloom Of a desolate home now dark with grief. And a lonely, silent tomb. It speaks to my soul, In sorrowing tones, Of a loved one, gone away ; Seems chanting, tor him, a requiem. All the livelong weary day. It is but a little tiny scrap Of paper, worn and old Vet dearer is it to my heart Than all " Golconda's gold." In silence still it speaks to me. Of a true heart now at restIt breathes of dear lies broken, And a home among the blest. It seems ss if I hear his voice, And clasp the friendly hand,

Of him who sleeps, the sleep of death, In a fan off stranger land. It tells me, too, of a courage bright As burnished goodly steel Of a heart which loved his country, Braved death for that country's weel. It speaks of untarnished honor, Of a soul as true and pure As " Angel hearts," in that home above. Where our loved one rests secure. It brings to mind the merry heart That guided the skillful handBoth heart and hand lie in the grave, By Southern breezes fanned. It 'minds me, too, of Joys to come, When friends shall meet above No war, no pain, no parting there, Where all is peace and love. E. H. A. Henderson, Ky., Sept., 1866. From the New York Weekly Magazine THE GREAT SYRACUSE BURGLARY, AND WHAT CAME OF IT. concluded. CHAPTER IV. My Western trip occupied nearly three weeks, whnn, about midnight on the fifteenth of July, I found myself approaching Syracuse from the West. I intended occupying my old quarters at the Globe Hotel, and going out to Oakmount at a seasonable hour next morning; but fate willed it otherwise. A misplaced switch sent the train off the track, some three miles before we reached the city and about a mile from Oakmount. As we were running on very slow speed, no one was seriously injured; but the passengers were compelled to walk to town. As one of my ankles was slightly sprained, I determined to reach Mrs. Gilderson's gardener's lodge, where I was sure of at least a blanket and the softest side of a little parlor floor for the remainder of the night. The incidents of that night, so far as they concerned Mrs. Gilderson's family, were so strange that I have persuaded her daughter to write them down and permit them to be incorporated in her own language in this narrative, for the benefit of the readers f the New York Weekly Magazine. Chapter Vi ellen gilderson'8 narrative. Soon after Mr. Duncan's departure I was taken suddenly ill of a fever, which increased in violence until I was compelled to have a nurse to watch by my bedside during all hours of the day and night. My dear mother filled thia office as long as her strength permitted, but in a few days was seized with the same disease, and by the fifteenth of July was unable to leave her room, which was on the opposite side of a wide hall. We had no one with us but domestics kind nurses. Our good physician, Dr. Jalap, had made his final call for the night at sunset, and had left certain medicines to be taken by me every two hours. I had passed the crisis of the fever, but was so weak as to be utterly unable to rise, and scarcely to move my hands. The night was dark and warm, and ail the house was closed, and, as we supposed, securely fastened. It was just after twelve o'clock, and my nurse was dozing in an arm-chair at my side, while I was hovering between dreamland and languid consciousness, when I was suddenly aroused by a click in the lock of my door. Why my nurse had locked and bolted it on that particular night is more than I know. It was usually left wide open, so that my mother and myself could speak to one another ; but rumors of burglaries had recently been rife, and the nurse doubtless took these precautions in consequence. How shall I describe the horrors that followed ! I was instantly wide awake, and fully aware that the mysterious gang of robbers whose depredations had alarmed the entire region, had selected our house and home as the place for a dark night's work. It immediately flashed across my mind that I had heard that their operations were carried on with a degree of skill and apparent knowledge of the premises that indicated collision with servants and that when they had met with resistance, they did not hesitate to add blood-shed, or even murder, to their crimes. I did not faint with terror, nor was I paralyzed. I heard the clicking of the skeleton key as it was turned in the wards of the lock, and finally heard the lock-bolt itseli tly back. But I knew there was another bolt beneath, which could not be moved without cutting through the door itself. To say I was not frightened, terribly frightened, would be absurd. What my dear mother's fate had been or might be was my first thought. I listened intently: there was no alarm or noise from her room, but the burglars were still tampering with the fastenings of my own door. I touch

ed the hand ot 31rs. 31arsham, my

UUiOC,, VTIiU TT Ck J 1H HlJlllg 1 LI C LA ai IU chair at my bed-side, and she instantly awoke. I said to her : " Keep perfectly still, say not a word. " She was a woman of great courage and presence of mind, and two or three whispered sentences made her completely aware of our dangerous position. And here the thought occurred to me, that an inner closet, that could be reached only through my own chamber, contained all our silver, jewelry, and money, and that the burglars were at work as if they were aware of this fact. What should we do? We had no neighbors nearer than the gardener's lodge no fire-arms, even if we had been able to use them; and under these circumstances an outcry for help would have been of little avail. Mrs. Marsham went to the open window and looked out. It was perfectly dark, except when occasional flashes of lightning in the distance betokeued a coming storm. If we made a noise, we should only precipitate the burglar's movements. They might attempt to batter down the door. Just then a heavy peal of thunder drowned all other sounds, and before the echoes had died away, Mrs. Marsham had thrown up the sash, and, stepping upon the window sill, hr x sprung out upon the ;urf beneath. Fortunately the distance was not great, and she sustained no serious injury. V ith me, it was then a question of time that is, if she escaped without being caught by confederates who were doubtless watching below. To add to my fears, I then heard a new noise (the burglars were becoming bolder and less guarded in their movements). It was the sound of a sharp instrument cutting the wood of the door. But the door was two inches thick of solid oak, and progress was slow. With what inward alarm I watched and waited, and waited! By the dim light of the night lamp, I next saw the sharp point of the augur bursting through the wood. Then a fine saw was introduced, but the robbers evidently feared that its harsh grating would awaken the occupants of the room, and it was withdrawn and the auger substituted, as the quieter instrument of the two. It were vain for me to attempt to describe my emotions during the next quarter of an hour. There was apparently no help coming, and I prayed for it as I never prayed before. The robbers' intention was evident. It was to bore out a piece of wood in the door large enough to introduce a hand, and then slip back the bolt which was under the lock. The hand was soon introduced, and the fingers sought for the lock. The bolt was there, but the little knob which had been attached to it, had been broken off long ago, and since I can remember, I had been compelled to introduce some small object (generally a hair pin) to push the holt back out of its socket. But I was no longer able to control myself. Nature assorted its sway over reason, and I uttered an involuntary scream. 1 here was an instant s pause at the door, and then loud demands that I should open it, under penalty of immediate death. I don't know whether I could have risen from my bed to comply with the ruffians' commands, but I did not; and then they resorted to a new and most fiendish method of accomplishing their purpose. It seems that my mother's chamber had already been entered, and herself bound and silenced by a pistol held at her head ; but the burglars had not discovered the courted treasure in her room; and sought for it in mine. She was now brought into the hall, and I heard the ruffians exclaim " Tell your daughter to open the door, or we will kill you on the spot." I remember making an effort to rise, when I heard the sharp quick report of fire-arms on the lawn below, a rush of feet on" the stairs and and John 1 mean Mr. Duncan you know the rest better than I do. Chapter vi. This point of my story takes me back to the time when I reached the gardener '8 lodge. I had just arrived there, when Mrs. Marsham came flying against the door in breathless haste, exclaiming " there are robbers at the house, for heaven's sake run quick!" We needed no further alarm. My revolver a constant traveling companion was in my pocket; the gardener seized a fowling-piece, which he always kept loaded, and forgetting my sprained ankle, we ran for the house at the top of our speed. ' As we approached we were more cautious, and stealing up in the shadow of the portico, we saw the burglars' sentinel at the door. As soon as we came into view, he fired upon us and ran. His alarm prevented any evil consequences from his shot, which was returned from the gardener's gun, and we left him stretched wounded upon the ground, and rushed up the familiar stairs to the upper story. I have no clear recollection of what followed. Shot were exchanged in quick succession, and when the tumult was over, we found one of the burglars lying dead on the floor, and the gardener with a broken arm, while I had escaped without a scratch. Mrs. Gilderson bad been bound and gagged, and Ellen was apparently lifeless, but they were both restored in time, although it was not until after weeks of watching, as their lives trembled in the balance. Chapter vii. The explanation and denouement of the foregoing incidents are very simple. We learned afterwards that the Widow Grey was the leading spirit of

a daring band of villains, that operated as occasion seemed propitious in various parts of the country. She stopped at the Globe Hotel under pretence of having lost sundry trunks that she never owned, and her alleged rich widowhood made it easy for her to impose upon the credultity of the landlord and his friends. She had made large purchases at various stores to be paid for when her trunks should be found, or in default of their ever making their appearance, to be paid for from fresh remittances. She had been so charmed with the country, that Bhe had looked at several residences with a view to their purchase; and singular to say, nearly all of them had been mysteriously robbed soon after. Her brother baa arrived to assist her in recovering her lost property, and this very brother had visited Mrs. Gilderson's house but a week before, under the pretence of giving his opinion upon the expediency of the proposed purchase; but really to ascertain the best means of entering the premises and ascertaining where the valuables were kept, and was killed by my hand on the night of the attempted robbery. I need not say that the Widow Grey disappeared' from Syracuse before morning. She may now be the Widow Brown or the Widow Black for aught I know; but from a newspaper report, I think she was finally caught in some of her nefarious misdeeds, and is now looking out for her trunks or something else from between the bars

ot the feing Sing prison. Mrs. Gilderson and her daughter left Oakmount as soon as they recovered; and ail I have to say in conclusion is, that Ellen doesn't stay alone o' nights any longer. MEDICAL.
