THE DROVER'S STORY.

—-- ——

we CONGLUDED.

Tho murderer paused in his work for an instant, a3 if to satisfy him selt’ that life and then moved quickly irom the room,

As soon as the sound of his footsteps had died in the distance, the horror stcicken drover escaped through the window, and ran with all his speed to Marquise, where, arousing the people of the hotel, he told his tearful story. A crowd soon collected about him, and accompanied him to the scene of the

was extinet ;

fearful murder.

All about the house was still, but on eapproaching the stable a light was dis: covered within; and, moving roiseless ly to the door, and peering through the cracks, the two_murdere:’s were found in the act of digging a grave beneath the flocring. A rush was made upon tthem, And they were arrested. At the sight of the drover, who was

the first to confront the guilty wretches, . the landlord uttered a shriek of-terror,,

and fell to the ground, while his-accom- lice, as pale asa corpse, gazel upon Pk With aight, no d subt it Was the ghost of the murdered man who stood before him. e.Lhe party now proceeded to the Hiduse, dragging the murderers along with them. Lights were procured,and still, keeping the prisoners with them, the speople entered the room whie¢re lay tae body of the man so strangely murdered instead of the horse dealer. The wife and d&ughter followed.

When the,covening was removed from the face of the corpse, and the ful!

ht of the candles flarel upon it, a wild cry burst from ihe lips of the lan llord’s w:fe.

“My son—my murdered son! Whi has done this?” wAnd with a hysterical scream she fail to the floor. > 7 “ No, no! it can’t be so, mother!’ ex- elaiined the daughter, as she strug- gled to reach the bed. Bat the terrible truth burst upon ber as her eyes fell rpon the mangled form of her brother. ana she also swooned upon the ‘body.

The cries of the broken-hearted femalos seemed to arouse the old man fox a moment; and gazipg wildly at the sight before him. he realized also the terrible truth. (He had murdered his own son!

O.: invest gating the facts before the mazistrate on the following day, it wa: awertain.d that the son of the inn- k cr, wWLowas adi.s pated young man hig viouiel Marquise the previous even- ing, Where, with some of his associates, he had becn eogaged in drinking and gambling till a latS houc; and Leing too much intoxica ed to remount his horse. and ashamed to meet his family, somc of his tellow gamblers had accompaniec him hoine; and supposing the room it, which the drover Lad been put to be vacant, they assisted the drunken man into the window. It was their voice. the lodger had heard; and thus it wa: that the hapies: youth met his death ardour friend escaped.

A accomplice of the landlord proy- to be his own son-in-law, Heari Le- grand.

Prom that awful hour th2 wietele- mothe, ot that murdered boy, marder edy by his father’s hand, remained 2 raving maniac.

¥t is only necessary to add. in econ- cluding this tule of horror, that the drover recovered his money; and jus tice, claiming her due, the two murder- ers, paid the jfenalty of their crime upon the guillotine. Shortly after tho. last event, the people of Marquise, to whom the scene of the unnatural murder had become an eyesore, assembled and level- ed the building to the ground, The spot is now covered*with brambles and this tles,,and pointed out to the stranger as a place to be avoided; for the ignorant thagf:it is haunted by the ghost of the murde:ed son.

A touching incident is reported from Chattanaoga. An utterstianger called on awrespectable fa: mer last week, and asked him if his house had not Leen robled during the war. The tarmer replicd that it had. ‘1, said the stran- ger, ‘was one of the marauding party that did it. T took a little silver locket.’ ‘That locket,’ said the farmer,’ had been worn by my dear child. ‘Here it is,’ replicd the stranger, visibly affected ; | ‘LT am-vich ; let me make restitution. | Here @:¢ twenty dollars for your little son.’(- He wage the farnier 2 $50 bill and received $50 in change, .He then wrung the farmers hand warmly and left. ‘The farmer hassince. dried his tears-and loaded his shot-gun. The $50 bill was a bad one.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has heen a time when the heal- ing of so many dilferent diseases has been cnised by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s Carsrcum Ponors PLASTERS are acknowledged by all avho have used then, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind, All other plasters are slow of action, and reqnire to bs worn continually to effect 2 cures but with t)o«e it is entirely dif- ferent: tho instant ou is applied the patient will feel its effect,

Physicians in ali ages have thoronghly tested ail well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or Jess used as & medical agent for an outward amplication: but it ig only of very recent date that its advan- taves in 2 porous plaster have been discovered, Being, however, convinced of the wonderful eres effected. by Dr. MELvIN’s CAPrsicumM Porovs PLastens, and their superiority over al] other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in thelr practice, for such diseases as rhemmatism, pain in tne side and back. and all sich cases as have required the nse of plasters or liaiment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed. and you wanta ceriam enre, ask your druggist for Dr. Menyiy's Capsicum Porous PLASTER, You can hamlly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you ean rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ¢f ordin- ary plasters, One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and oue plaster will selijuandreds to vour fi iends,

Ask vour druggist for Dr. MrLytn’s CAPST- cum Porous PLasrren,and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents. for one. $1 for five, or $2 fora dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
