-Yl) Homs’*. BY U1BUAKKT LISLIR. I have a home, a happy home. Just suited to my mind; The sweetest joys that earth affords. Within its walls I find. When tossed on life’s tempestuous sea. Rough gales and storms I meet; Within its harbor, calm, serene, I seek a safe retreat. I have a home—my girlhood’s home— Where dwells my precious mother. Together with my father dear, My sisters and my brother. Sometimes we all assemble there, A merry, happy band . And cheer each other on the road Toward the "Better Land." I have a home, a blessed home, Thun all beside mure sweet; There loved ones here'and Christ so dear. Some day 1 hope to greet. Forever and forevermore. Beyond the shining sun. We’ll live in peace and harmony. When life’s hard labor'i done. Forever and forever more. We'll walk the streets of gold; One-half the pleasures there in store Have never yet been told. There’ll be no tears or sorrow there In that land of the Blest. “Where the wicked cease their troubling. And the weary are at rest.” Greeneastle, Ind.

Fourth Precinct for investigation. Tho police put no faith in Wilson's alleged confessing. They think that ti is a dodge on his part to get back to New York. A Western detective kept for many years a scrap book, in which he pasted accounts of crimes in which rewards were offered for the arrest of the criminals. Turning over the leaves of this volume a short time ago, he checked off all tho cases in which the fugitives had been caught, and found that a surprising number weie still at large. Then he reasoned that Leadville was a likely place for snch wanderers to drift into, and resolved to go there. He frequented the public resorts of that city for weeks, looking for men answering to the book's numerous descriptions. One night ho observed that a roisterer in a barroom had a peculiarly flattened finger. That was a mark of John Ott, who committed a murder at Tazewell, III., in 1869 and for whose arrest an offer of $1,000, still held good.
