For the Marshall County Democrat. REFLECTIONS On the death of Mother Chaplin, which occurred in the last hour of Its')!?, aged 71 vears. Please j roaJ ired account of a vir"tuous woman, . . ' contained in the last chapter of Proverbs, commen cing with the 10th verse, as the most appropriate OBITUARY. That parent home 1 that parent home ! None other with it tan compare; nfeigned love from that white dome Flow'd frenY and rare so fresh and rure. The weary Pilgrim there could rest His fainting body and his soul; With every comfort served the best, Pure friendship's goal yes.fntnd&tipa goal. But death"; rhtl Mild that light hath quench'd, And chill'd that hearth-stone fire; That noble form his touch hath blanch'd, O cruel ire ! most cruel ire. But one there is who fcc!athe chill Beyond an earthly power to heal; Whose bosom heaves with sorrows fill Bereft of weal its greatest weal. And sons there arc in middlolife, Who deeply feel the bitter pang; Who freely own 'mid earth's rude strife, This is the fang their kee nest fang. And daughters, too, whose care-worn look Too surely speaks life's poisoned darts; Up to this, time, to Mother took Their aching heart oft aching hearts. And always found a pillow soft t'jion her feeling matron breast, Al " hen in infancy so oft This booci pivs.s'd--yea, warmly prcss'd. And friends there are, true mourning friends, Who did tins home appreciate; Who think this earth can't make amends Nor compensate dkrst, compensate. O Earth! a desolation, thou, Without the christians "blessed hope;" That if he w ell performs his vow From death bro't up again bro't t. That aged sire may this rejoice, And sons and daughter in their grief; That soon they'll hear the Bridegroom's voice That brings relief O, blest' d relief! The mnrriagc sf.fper of the Lamb, Yea, soon will summons all the guests; Wlitre he will pour the holy balm Into their breasts now veounded breasts O Friends! that we may largely share Her spirit w hile we sojourn here; That with her we may enter there, To us so dear so eery dear. Warsaw, Feb. 1st lböü. E. S. W. THE ROBBERS ROOST. BT JOHN KENNEDY It was a sultry afternoon that I crossed the Mississippi river, and negligently traveled on mv way towards Greenfield. The cool shade which covered the road, and way tne time so pieisaniiy was aware of it, the sun was down and darkness gently dropped its black veil over the face of nature. I looked about me, and became alarmed i the density of the forest. The sighing of the wit.d, tlie rustling of a bush,

the hooting of an owl, 6tartled me. inland i und the door had no fastening what-

the thick shades of almost every tree I imagined a wild beast ready to spring upon me, and from behind the tree's monstrous trunks, I expected some hideous animal to r dash fuiiously at me. I carried my revolver ready for any emergency, and loosen - 3 6 3 ed my heavy knife in its scabbard. But I,. 1 1.. AA I irxn.ri..

anything but satisfied with the result of doubt of b.-inj in a Roboers Roost it my InvsatigatioaS). But when I looked , would leave a hole open which would cxabout me, and saw the heavy gloom which j po6e me to du ir fne. At length a plan hung upon everything, and (lie prospect of came to mv relief. I moved the bed from being devoured by wolves, 1 concluded ! over the door and taking the clothes off.

first to inquire the distance lo the next stopping place, and if it was loo far, to remain where I was. The door opened and a husky voice said, who's there?' . i f t: .1 I .II ! A stranger, 1 repirwu, anu lunowing up by asking hew far to the next Stopping plac 1 could near clear murmur of voices, and then a reply came, 'ten miles or more.' I dismounted and fastened my hoisu to a post, and as I ascended the old rickeiiy stairs of the porch, they screeched a (lis - mal dirire, ami the nam. h-an hounds mnipped savagely at my heels. The room which I entered presented ' "l h a repulsive appearance, that 1 start- ' I " I SR mm I gast. The eyas of several rough Uncouth

individuals were turned uppn me, and I j

felt in their glance, something more of the j ; ferociousness of tlio wild beast, than the j gentle of human beings. 'Take a seat, stranger,' 6aid a burly, thick-set rmn , . w Inch groanet as he handed me a chair, groaned pitoously with its inGrtnij ties. As 1 cast a glance upon the group ; before me, 1 seemed to hesitate, which was) instantly noticed, and the officiating man, who seemed to be landlord, cam? fbrwai d and in a conciliatory tone, and a style as gentle as could be expected, said: j Sorry we can't accommodate you bet- ; tpr. ttrsamn hut malt Yourself at home ' F - - " we'll do the best bv vou we kin.' . J A significant glance passed among ti e men as the host concluded his hospitable invitation, which did not escape mv no-' tue. At length supper was served, consist- j ing of corn bread and bacon, and for this i meagre fare abundant apologies were offered. f er listening a short time to their disgusting conversation, I informed my host I would like to retire. Will vou leave vour saddle bag6?, said he, with a bland smile, as he extended his monstrous hand to take them. No sir,' I replied, while a heavy frown gathered on my brow, 'I have a very safe place to keep them,' he rejoined, while his blood-shot eyes stab bed me to the heart. No doubt.' said I with a meaning nod, but I would prefer taking them with me.' This conclusion was received rather coolv. and as I Lrepared to leave the room one of the men espied the handle of my ; revolver protruding from beneath my over-' mat. 'Hello, stranger!' he exclaimed in a: 9 I quick tone, 'let's see that 'ere pistol, will you?' So sttddee had been the demand, and in j such seeming innocent curiosity, thai I put my hand back to give ll to him. But a second thought decided me, and 1 replied, that it was no great curiosity, and 1 would show it to him in the morning. By this time the men had gathered a - round me, and seeing things looking rather peculiar. I backed myself through ?. door, followed bv the host. When the door was closed, I could hear loud murmuring, and an oath or two uttered in vehement toHes. The landlord hurried up a feeble nair of I r - K'lirs anil a fi-w v:irds from lh landitur , 4 & pushed open a door and bade me enter. I glanced around the apartment, and showed b? mr actien that I was dissatisCed with its appearance. It is the best I can do for you, stran - ger,' said he. 'and you needn't be afraid of thm follows down stairs, thov won't hurt Vou. I shall not be alarmed,' I replied, as he eKMSO the door anu uescenuea tue steps. I was somewhat annoyed at the appearance of things, and determined to place myself in the be?t possible position of de - fetis". I examined my quarters closely, ever, nor was theie anything convenient ' with which it could be secured

j Determined not to be baffled. I tore a ( It would afford sune point ol escape. j strip of board from the wall, and with mv I ISut then the robber would hare a fair knife cut a piece sufficiently long to make chance; could surround us: and murder us ' a brace from the lower cleat of (he door to without a show of defence.

But an easy moving of the bed a roused mc and in an instant I was wi le j awake ? moved sevcrsl lissea quits sana

and then all became quiet. I listened a

few moments but could hear nothing. Presently there came fa'nt whispering j from an adjoing room: my eyes followed j the direction and I saw a small stream of i light pounng through an opening, and had a fair view of the operations going on with- i in. So horrible was the sijfht I there beheld that its recollection will never be erased from my memory Hanging from the bed, and with his j head nearly severed from his body was an old my headed man with the purple cur- ! rpnt f lifo cfaadlltr ofroa;.,n, f, it.. ! a . .... a j L vi I T iJ L 1 1.(1111 111 ' 11 U , I 1 1 Mi; gash . I reeled a moment with dizziness, and ; was about to withdraw fmm the scene J when the dor softly r.pened and a person j entered. Tili l looked again and three of the ! men I had seen In the barroom were stan ding near the dead man. Why Halts,' said one, 4I thought you had fixed your customer by this time.' WVl! have trouble with that customer' replied Hans, shaking his head, 'he is up to something, he put his bed on the trap.' ! The devil,' they both exclaimed, and looked at each other in surprise 'We must manage him some way,' said Hans, 'for he hftj money I am certain.' 'Hadn't we better attend that 'ere gal, ; first?' suggested one 'Yes, the old man is fixed for, for the gal.' and picking up the light they left the room What girl, thought I. Is it possible some person as ufortunate as myself has been compelled bv necessity to ston here. I listened eagerly and presentlv a crash came, followed by a shrill scream. 1 sprang toward my door, but recollected that I hid it well secured. I hesitated a moment, when another scream more tor-I i iiic than the first, followed by a sharp! crack of a pistol. It was but the work of , a moment to unfasten the door and dash out. As I sprang into the passage, I met two men, who tired simaltaneon. bwt with j out effect. I leveled my revolver and j j sent the contents of one barrel through ' ; the head of one, who tumbled heavily! down stairs dragging his companion with him. I rushed Into the room, and found the girl sheltered behind the bed, keeping Hans at bay whh a revolver.

which was flowing from a wound la her neck, 'I frar, vir, that my life is short, and I , sincerely thank you for your kind protection,' she feebly murmured, ar.d sank back exhausted. I was about to offer some assistance when I again heard steps on the stair tod earnest talking as of persons remonstratio Thinking the attack on the door would be renewed, I dtew the bedstead against it. and threw the light bedding over the the head-board, and thus formed a kind of! kM.. 1 llV.l.l 11V1 X.

'I won't, are you there?' .yes 'Close?1 1 YV I felt a slight movincr of ti e bed over ! 'the trap, during which time the man on the outside kept up an incessant jabbering.

I I searched fbi the revolver the girl had 1 used, and fortunatlj found it, and was happj to discover that but one load had been shot out of it, which I replaced, and being thus reinforced I felt more confident of victory. But to ovecome this gang seemed almost hopeless, as their numbers might be rery larife, and I so far from assistance. Bui might not some providential circumstance transpi: .' to deliver me from the hands of thess desperadoes?
