Once in my life, and once only, I al~ lowed myself to be putb up as a candidate for an office; and I had the fortune to be elected to fill the oflice of District Attorney—an office of little honor, of little pay, but of plenty of work. Ihadaccepted the place at'the earnest solicitation of the judges of our Supreme Court, because they feared 1f I did not,a man would get.it who was-in no way qualified to perform the various duties thereto appertaining; and having allowed myself to be placed there in charge of the legal interests of our-section of New Hampshire, I resolved to perform those duties without fear or favor, trusting that right and justice would bear me out, ;

L had been in officeabout six months, and I had succeeded in convincing a few, at least, of our good people that theyhad a prosecuting officer who could nict be easily corrupted, when a man named Marlo Cropt was arrested for borse stealing, and one of whose first moves after being arrested was to send for me. I went and found him in jail, one of the most sinister looking fellows I had ever seen. He was, I afterwards learned, a half-breed, his mother having been a Mohawk Indian, and his father a Virginia slave driver. Marlo was born in a wigwam somewhere in the wilds of the Alleghauies, and had been brought up by men and women_ who lived by plindering and begging. : At the age of:one-and-twenty, or thereabouts, he left the tribe; and since then, now some ten years, he had lived by his wits, in the exercise of which he had stolen horses and sheep, and other four-legged things, In short, he was a villain of the very deepest dye—so born; bred, and matured. He was rather short of stature, but compact, broad-shouldered, heavy-limbed and muscular, presenting a figure of brute strength such as is not often seen. His face bore very strongly the Mohawk stamp, the Indian standing out above all else; but there was a certain cast of broad, grasping shrewdness, which betrayed the admixture of white blood. , - : Marlo Cropt, when he knew mé" to be the officer who was to present his case to the grand jury, and who was to appear against him in court, assumed a very confidential manner and commenced by intimating’ that he could give me a chance to “make a pretty good thing.” If I would use .my influence in his favor, he was sure he should get clear. This was the first time he ever was arrested in that part of the country, and he did not exactly understand our method of doing business. But of one thing he ‘could assure me, thatifl would like a thousand dollars he could get it for me. = I asked him what he meant. “Bah!”:said he, poking his fingers into my breast—and the end of that single forefinger came with a foree equal to a 'b‘lo;v with the fist from some men—*“don’t go for to be backish with me. I know, and we both know, money’s money, and you may as well have it as anybody. Let it-off easy and I’ll say a-thousand dollars. I’ve got it, mister, and I can fetch it in no time, too. Now, what d’ye say? Is it a go—?i, . .- 7 : “ o o J ‘

I looked at the rascal, and he must have ' discovered from: that single glance that he had approached the wrong man, for his countenance fell, and a fierce light flashed from his eyes. . ; " “You had better do it,” he whispered. " el S

But I only sought to make him understand tkat I would sooner sell my life than my honor; and without waiting to listen to his treaty, I left him., Within a week from that time Cropt was brought before the grand jury, and as he came into the jury room he found time to speak privately with me. “Look here, mister,” he whispered ; “I’]l make it two thousand. You’d better think on’t.” . -Lmade a motion to push him away, when he grasped my arm, and pressed his lips close to my ear. '/ “Mister Leveritt,” he hissed—and I could feel his words burn—*“with me it’s liberty or peoison. With you it’s my liberty or your death!” , He looked at me with a look that was more potent than a score of oaths, and then turned away with the sherit s '. S e The:business before the grand jury was very quietly done. The prisoner’s foul threat had .excited e, and -1 brought forward {he witnesses against him and .questioned them promptly and to the point. The evidence was of a character that admitted of no doubt or argument, and a bill was found, and Marlo Cropt was duly indicted of the erimes which had been alleged against him, and in a few days he would appear on trial, - I had three cases for the commencement on my docket before that of Marlo Cropt; and as there were several other matters that engaged the attention of the court, it was a week before ‘he was brought up. But he came at length, and once more approached me. /L'his time hesaid “IT'hree thousand!” ifil would make the case break down against Him. - L e Villain as he was, with heart as hard and wicked as could be, I had never seen a man who so dreaded imprisonment. Never before had he beep in prison. He had been often apprehended, and had been frequently s B Of his liberty for any great length of tim p,-:,_ms‘mdtanmﬁa%%ﬁ re strong, and e folt as Jf, o old me, that 1o ‘ould rather dia than be st up 1 8 more rosming M&fﬁ ‘V e o e s e

ble lawyers in the State, and the govrnment witnesses were cross .quesioned and brow-beaten unmercifully, ind in addition to this the prisoner rought forward witnesses who had )een paid and prompted for the occaion. But the man’s guilt was too evilent. In my plea to the jury I present-

&d the case as itam to me,and as | T believed it app to every reason[ing man. And I presented te the jury f the man they were about # pass judg- § upon, asking them to @k at Bim as:he sab before them., ' & The charge of the wdgg!é was very Wrief,’and entirely against the prison@r, ind the g#ry were out just twelve ‘mnutes” when they returned a ver“dict of “Guilty.” il iMarlo Cropt trembled not an atom at this, for ne had been prepared for but when the judge, in solemn accants, pronounced his penalty—five years at hard labor in the State prison =+he shook like an aspen, and for a moment I thought he would break down. Dut presently he revived, and g!% ked aronnd until his eyes rested “#pon me, and when. he saw me he beckonéd m& to come to him. ;I looked at his hands; they were ironed and emply, and I went to the dock. ’ -“Thomas Jefferson Leveritt,” said he, speaking my whole name, as if he - would fix theidentity beyond dispute; “I am going to prison to stay five years, and I shall see you again. When I come out I shall look for you. If you are in China, I'll go to Chipna. I will find you,” and his voice sank to'a low whisper, and, without the least tone of profanity, but with a reverence for his oath, he swore solemnly he would pay me for this. Marlo Cropt went his way, I went mine. Some one told my wife that the prisoner had called me to him after the trial, and that he had spoken: to me in a very solemn and strange manner, and she asked me what he’ said to me. Her question confused me, and I was not prepared with an .answer, and I told her:that 1 could hardly remember what he did say. : “Thomas,” she said, “you are afraid to tell me.” P ; And then she quesfioned me until I was forced to admit that Cropt had‘ threatened me, and then I told her the rest of the story~how he had sought to buy me off before the trial, And to.close the scene I laughed as thotigh ‘the whole thing were a rich farce. One evening about two weeks after the trial, my wife came in feeling quite fatigued, having been absent all day. : ‘ : “Bertha, wliere have you been®’ I asked. . s : “To the State Prison,” was her anSWer. : ‘ “The State Prison!” I reciterated. “Wh&t in the world have you been doing there ?” : “Looking at a certain prisoner they have confined there,” she replied. “One whom I might wish to recognize should I eyer meet him ocutside ‘those walls.” “You allude to Cropt,” I said. - She nodded assent.’ And then I‘told her she was foolish, and begged her to forget the man entirely. S = e *“Thomas,” she said, with a degree of feeling that startled me, “I have séen thdt man,-and I tell you that we both have occasion to dread and fear him.’ I shall not forget him, though I will try henceforth not to worry myself as I have during the two weeks that have passed since he was tried and condemned.” : o R gl SR sok ke R e The attractions of my New ITampshire home were not strong enongh to hold me after I had found an opening in.the West, where the promises of success were equal to bonds issued by good fortune. ‘lt was about two years after the trial of Marlo Cropt, that I packed up my books and family treasures, and took up my march for a new and thriving town in Minnesota; and. within a year after my settlement in the new home I was richer by hundreds of do}lars than I had ever been before. In fact, I litetally tumbled into a nest of good luck, . Three years passed away, and- in the midst of my comforts, a troublesome thought of the outecast’s oath came once in a while to chill me; for the term of the man’s imprisonment had expired. And I knew that my wife had thought of it, too; but she said nothing to me, and I said nothing. to. her. ~Another year passed—and. another—and Marlo Cropt was well nigh forgotten. Time passed, each returning season: bringing new gains and new honors, until there were touches of silver in my hair, and a. grand-child ‘ecrawled upon my knee when I went home at night from my office. > : :

‘lt was a dull, dismal, drizzly afternoon in October, when the door of my office was opened, and in walked a stranger, a short, thick-set, gray-hair-ed man, with a mufiler around his ¢hin, and a soft felt hat pulled down to his eyes. I could only see that his face looked swarthy, sad his features were those of a half-caste!

It was Marlo Cropt—come now after a lapse of almost twenty years—for what? Was it to fulfill his oath ? If so what should I do? The idea of crying for help had been dismissed the moment he entered and laid aside as only a last resort; because to your thoroughly desperate villain an outery is the signal for the d-ea!th stroke. The man looked at me and then stared carefully around the oftice, and next. sat down and threw off his mufiler, winding it carefully around his left arm. Then he raised his hat without entirely removing it, looking straight at me, “Mr. Thomas Jefferson ILeveritt, do you know me?” . . : “QOf course I do,” I replied. : “Speak my name then.” “When I knew you iyears ago, you were called Marlo Cropt.” ) “Well, if your memory’s as good as that,” pursued my yisitor, in a quiet, whispering way, without betraying emotion of any kind, “p’r’aps there is zom’?thing else that you.can rememer. B SR e -

As he spoke the last words his manner changed as though he had been a piece of pyrotechnie contrivance touched by a match of the exhibitor, He 'leaped to his feét, his whole fuce ablaze with fierce vengeance; and while with his right hand he drew an enormous bowie-knife, with his left he grasped me by the throat, hissing between his teeth: “You don’t forget mg; oath! I have never forgotten it—never! I've hunted for you, and I've found you! You put me on! What did you gain by doing so? ‘Take that!” He sought to strike me, but with the quickness of thought and the strength of desperation, I caught his | right wrist with both my hands, and | held him at bay. 1 lheld that awful | knife suspended; but the grip of that { hand on my throat was choking me. 1 could not cry out, and, ug&ﬁ tightened I found it difficult to breathe.

Several times he sought to free his right hand, but finding my two hands ‘more than he could overcome, he turn--ed his attention to my-throat. Thus far his grasp had been below the larnyx; but now he raised his broad tﬁﬂ‘m‘ b above that strong; bony cartilage and pressed it upon the soft, pretty soon changing the position of his fingers, so that it seemed as though-he was literally tearing both gullet and windpipe from my neck. A moment 8o and then my breath stopped entirely. I thought of removirg my right hand to remove the grip from my throat; but if I did that knife would find my bosom. I was a child in the ‘hands-of a master, for that man wasa perfect IHercules— literal Sampson—while I was a very slim-framed man - With one last effort of strength, I reeled backward, and we both went to the floor, overturning the tables and chairs as we went down. %

My hold had relaxed, and in thefall his right hand had been freed, and his left still gripping my throat. I saw the knife gleaming in the dim, uncertainlight. I thought of that scene.in the court rcom twenty. years before—the jury’s verdict—the sentence —and the half-cast’s oath—l thought, too, of the loved ones at home—and then— A blaze—a crash—a roar, as of the wreck of worlds—a falling of the weight from my bosom and from my throat —and alll was darkness and chaos! 3 ;

~ When I came to myself, the office was full of people. Two physicians were supporting me, while my. wife whas telling a story to the crowd; and pretty soon the last part of the story was told to me: 2 S She had been to the school house ‘With an umbrella to escort home the children. - On the way home she niet a man whose peculiar appearance attracted her attention. She'took him for one of the old forest rangers and trappers who come to the settlements to obtain jobs as guides to emigrants over the prairies; and .as he passed her she detected something familiar in the small portion of 'the face she saw. All the way home she tried to think where she saw those -features before; and just when she reached the sitting- room and saw the pistol upon the mantle, the truth flashed upon her. - The moment her mind was turned into that channel, she had no doubt, not a particle. She felt sure the victim had gone to fulfill his old oath; and with only one idea in her mind she caught up the pistol, made sure that it was loaded, and started upon the run. She reached the oflice just as we went over; the crash of the tables and chairs prevented us hearing her. She saw the knife raised for the fatal blow; and heaven itself must have lent nerve to her hand, for when shie had fired and had seen the halfbreed roll over, she sank down fainting and powerless; but she soon revived, her anxiety for me giving her strength, and was able to help the neighbors when tliey came running 1. A .As for’ Marlo Cropt, he probably never-’knew what hurt him. - The bullet had ‘e_ntglzéd‘ near the left temple and came out just above the right ear. - Whern I fully recoyez&d my senses, and 'would have expressed my fears for my wife, she smilingly said to me as though to tarn my thoughts from the subject, “I'homas, you never but once accused me of doing adownright foolish ‘thing, and that was when I wenb to the State Prison to look at Marlo Cropt. What do you.say now ? IFor my part,” she added solemnly, “L think it was the most sensible thing I ever did, for even then I had a strong presentiment that it: was my duty to know that man.” And I could not dispute her declaration. e Shea

| TIME’S CHANGES. "~ Alexander H. Stephens’ Euloginm Upon . ° Abraham Lincoln, - - ° Upon the occasion of the presentation to Congress of Carpenter’s picture of Lincoln signing the emancipation ‘proclamation, A. H. Stéphens, ex-Vice-President of the Confederacy, delivered an address, from which we make the following extract: e Every fountain of his (Lincoln's) heart was overflowing with the milk of human kindress. So much deeper, from my attachment to him, was the pang in my own breast as well as in those of millions at the manner of his taking off.. That was the climax of our woe, of our trouble,and the spring from which came afterward unnum‘bered woes. As 40 the great histori--cal event which this picture commemorates, and which we are here to commemorate, this is a subject, perhaps, as remarked by my friend from Ohio: (Garfield), which the people of this: ‘day and genieration are not exactly in a condition to weigh rightly and judge correctly. One thingz has been remarked, emancipation was the-chief object of Mr. Lincoln. What was the chief .object? The idol with. which his whole soul was concerned was the preservation of the Union. If the emancipation of the colored race be a boon to that race, and Providence has yet to determine that, it denends much on themselves.: If it is, I, representing the Southern States -here, may claim in their behalf ‘that freedom was never finally consummated until the Southern States sanctioned the Thirteenth amendment, which they did every one of them, and by their own constituencies., - - R R

I can say for myself, and for those of my immediate circle ‘'of acquaintances, and for the whole Southern people, that there’is not one who would change the condition of things, resubjugate the colored man, or put him in the condition lie was in before. Ilf there is one in all the South who would desire such a change, I'am_not aware of it. S, S e

Men of the North and of the South, of the East and of the West, I would to-day, on this commemorating oceasiom, say: “Let us one and all within the sphere of our duty, whether in public orin private life, see to it that we do not violate that divine trust committed to us.” Down South we are doing the best we can-for the colored people, hoping earnestly that the%' will fit themselves for a higher eivilization. The flag no longer floats-over provinces, but States; no'longer over subjects, but over citizens, whité and black. Why can we, not look hopefully to the future? Let harmony and peace prevail; let sectional strife be done away with, and then theré’is a higher and grander future-for us.— But if the embers of the late most lamentable war are left, and a little additional fuel comes to flame them up again; if the conflict of classes, the conflict of labor and capital, the conflict of race, that profound ethnolog--Ical question which we have all got'to settle, and the most difficult one ever committed to the consideration of statesmen and philanthropists,’ shall ever break ouf,,and these dangerous elements be -again aroused, I greatly fear that the recent troubles'and disasters through which e have just passed will prove to be but the shadow, the penumbra of:a deeper and more dreadful eclipse which will come upon this continent, blighting and blasting the best hopes of mankind.— Should that,be 'so, then.some future bard mmay sihg: - o ot e

CLNY Nt L 5 n—— % « ‘The Hon. George R. Wendling’s Attack Upon It : From & Secular Standpoint, : S (Ind’anapolis Sentinel, March 7,) - : . A/fineaudience assembled at Mason_ ic Hall last night to listen to.the lecture of the Hon. George R. Wending, of Shelbyville, 11linois, in reply-to the recent lecture of Col. Ingersoll. Maj. ‘Gordon in a few words intreduced the: speaker as a citizen of a sister state, whose fame as an orasor was familiar to our-people. e N - Although the ‘lecturer oceupies a high place in public estimation as an orator, it is scarcely possible that a single person in the audience was prepared for the splendid intellectual treat ‘which he gave them; and even those who disagree totally and entirely with his views must confess that merely as ‘a lecture in language and delivery it was far beyond what was expected. 'Where modern infidels claim to argue ha shows. that:-they but - use old” and worn out arguments.— Where assertions are made he meets them by flat denial. Where metaphysical -discussions are introduced he takes the same ground, and the nicety with which his statements are adjusted leaves no weak point to invite attack. - The statement that each natior creates -its own God 1s met by the statement that all each nation hashad its idols, but that the ided of an infinite -spirit is ‘ghich is in some form taught everywhere is not a creation of the imagination, because the imag- . ination in its wildest flights creates nothing new,"all it can do being to combine old forms anew. e

‘The charge that men creats a God from’ fear of the future was met by the statemeént that atheism creates cowirds, who skullk through the byways of life, afraid of the Creator.— He sliowed how. skepticism’s claim to be able tounlock the mysteries of nature is. entirely overthrown by the mere challenge to explain gravitation, protoplasm, force,»mot.ion,vor how it ig that a drop of water is as wonderful as the ocean. -

.. The lecturer declared that it is necessary to growth ‘and progress that men should have an ideal, and then in : a-grand flow of eloquence painted the condition of society when, the pagan Philosophers taught before Christ ~ came into the world. As the lecturer in ore bold sweep gave the histoiy of -eighteen Christian centuries, the audi- - rence listened as if spell-bound. . He then showed how all other religions fostered caste; how Christianityalone taught universal brotherhood and the ‘worth of the souls of men, and that progress of the present age was the -outgrowth of this belief. The point, . keen and bright asit was, was seen by all ‘'when he said that if all the preachers should abandon their calling their 'places would have to .be filied by the philosophers, and ere long the people would be complaining of: the new -priesthood as sponges ard hypocrites. His summing up of the necessity of religion in preserving the: State, all business interests and home - by means of honest consciences was a fine display of logic and eloguence.— ' At no place did he touch any sectarian doctrine, but spoke of the -church as the aggregate of the Christianity of all thie churches. e closed with a * scathing rebuke to hypocrites in the churches, expressing the belief that ‘the attacks of modern infidels wauld result in good by causing the cliurch and societly to investigate and act. .
