BETSY' HAMILTON'S LETTER. Betsy Bick-Old Bf Ma Creen Agalu. Atlanta (Jvntlitution. HILLABEE, TALLADEGA CO., AT.A. Dec. Couti*: I was BO upsot in my mine about Maw and Hunted around BO in the wind endurin'of her spell that quick as she rix I was tuck down with the in'ard fever and sore tbote, and mizry in my head, and what should Maw do unbeknownst to me but send atter ole Miss (?reen. She come a puffin' and a blow in' and her yaller brogan shoes a screakin' every atcp like a new ?ide saddle aud I thought my bead would shorely bust. She weighs up'ards of two hundred, and shakes the houfe as she moves. 3Iaw had stepped to the kitchen to fix a bite to eat. 1 axed 3?8S Green to set down, and she taken the wrong cheer and it fell thu' with her, and abe hollered co ?ou l you could have hearn her spang to old Miss Freshourses, and when she riz and scram bled up she spilt all her yarh truck oul'n ber ridicule. She ramrnicked around thar pickin' of it up, and upsot another cheer, and knocked over the churn er milk a turnin bv the fire, broke the jar all to Hitters, and spilt all the milk Maw had been a savin' for a week. I axed I ber to set down and be seated on that ar three-legged stool. I knowed it was the Oillyeet tliiDg in the house that would bold her bekase our cheers was all a gillio' rickety. I had to yell to make ber bear mo; she had her years tied up with a homespun rag ; lowed she had tuck cold endurin' of that snow and hadn't hearn good out'n her left year ?Cti?o. Our yaller dog sot up sich ft hark at her ridiri' critter, ami drug his block and kep sich a racket Maw she went out Ktid fastened him np in the smokehouse, and bo howled wusser'n ever, aud thc | cbickins and geese let in to cacklin,' nnd the turkeys gobbled, and the guineas ; pot-racked, and I thought in my soul my po' head would split wide open afore 1 she'd ever git back. I never seed sich a time in all my life. And to head it all Flurridy Tennysy i come from the spring with a bucket of water, and didn't more'h land in the 1 door Iel down sue fell, backet, water, gourd and all, and she fetched a yell, and ole Miss Green hollered, and here come Maw a runnin' to see what was the mat ter, and when she seed her bran hew milk jar broke all to flatter ratters she fetched a .'-cream like the house was afire, 1 and they all stood there and mi rated jes like I never had no head. Maw she mighty quick wiped that greasy milk offn her clean Hcoured floor, and ole Mis? Greeu drawed the stool up fore the fire and gin a gruut and sot down. I war thankful she never tuck nairy nolhcr cheer, for if she'd er fell agin I think I I bhould er died. She ontieel her ridicule and tuck out her old pocket-knife sbo cuts ber tcrbackcr with, and let in to cullin' up roots and yarbs to make me . some tea. She bad a power of one truck and another-white warnut bark, Samp eon's snake root, tho devil's shoe-string, life everlasting wild cherry bark, calamus root, and nine ros um and a sight more. I layed thar and let her fix it, but I knowed nary drap of it wasn't a gwino down my neck. She sot it a draw in' by the fire then turned in and filled ber olo cob pipo, run it in the ashes and sot in to smek.n' ; then she up and spit on tho hath wbar my bowl er chicken soup was a warmin'. I had beet *\wful hongry, but that upsot rac so I uidn't kcer if I never seed no moro soup. 1 told Flurridy to dash it out, I didn't want it. The ole 'oman lowed: "Do pray, don't fling out itothin' that's to eat ; fetch it here nnd I'll drink it." That was the feather that broke tho cow's back. I layed thar and prayed to die if I had to go thu' with much more. She flung back ber head and drunk it all down, and turned to Fnrridy and lowed : "Git ono of your Pap's ole socks to tie round Hetsy'a neck; bit's the best thing in the world for tho infiuanzy of the tunsils. I've bad Infor maUon in my thote 'fore now and tied ? a stockin' on it the over night, and by uiornin' bit was well. I allen tie on one er EB own, kase his'n h too full of grit atter be plows all day. J^ow, gimme a couple er yarn etrings to tie round her wrists. Hit's the best thing in the world to keep up tho vibration of tho blood." Jis then ole Miss Fresh ou rs slept in with ber mouth all stick ir.' full snuff, barred tho door wide opeu right fernent my head, and hollered like clio was in a mill, "Why, what on the yotb ails Betsy?" Then ole Misa Oreen layed herself out to tell her what was the matter with me, and upon my word if all she said bad cr been HO, I'd cr been dead 'fore night. "I'll tell you, sister Fresh' ours," says she, purling her pipe, "Belay thar ?B monstcrous bad off ; she has got a implication of nilinieu?s ; you seo she tuck cold in the tunsils of ber tbote and hit's flow to her head and fetched about ail that informa?oL. You eau seo for yourself how rrd ber (twa ia. Wal, that's ali thc occSaica of in'a?u ie vcr tont'? flew tc her ib.ee, and bit's all riz from tho iuiluanzy of the tunsils i.nd allegory of her thote, and hit's fetched on the new rutligy and mineral jetus in tho spine of her hack, and hit's fast n workin' of ita wnw to'arda tbeimmate al fever: and if it should happen to turn into the old fashioned tyforward fever that's a raidin' now, why bit would kill her shore. I jis tole ber Alaw hit was a tarnaital blcssin' she sont atter me in time." Then olo Miss Fresbours spit out her snuff*and lowed : "I tole 'email I knowed Betsy or some of 'em over here was g w me to be sick, for no longer'n night afore las' I dreamp of seein' Flurridy Tennysy marry, and I seed berna plain as I see my hand afore me." I was n gittin' sicker and Bicker every minute, and when she let in to tell about how sick ole man Wiggins was with the white swcllin' and couldn't git not hin' to lay on his stomach for n \vcck3 and what ailed tbis'n and that'll and tother'n I reckin it would er kilt me ; but jes then Maw she stepped to the door and lowed : "Come in tothor house, sister Green, you and sister Fresb ours, and git a bite to eat ; we'ers all BO ailyficd to day I never fixed mach, but sich as it is it's clean, nnd you're welcome to it." And the minute they landed out I rix and buttoned the door, and jerked off Pap's old sock and them string? and flung o'i a piece of light'ood, ?nd hustled into my duds in a hurry, H 1: ce rod if I got any wusser she'd dost me to death, and I had no notion of dy in' by her hands. I tole 'em all if they couldn't send atter the dock not to send atter nobody. ."Tis sweet to love, but Oh ! how bitter To love a gal and then not git her." That's the poetry Sam Dave Thompson writ me.

Forty years ago, Col. John Armen, tne famous criminal lawyer of Chicago, ate a poisoned biscuit before a .Michigan jury, and hy that act secured tbe acquit tal of a woman charged with attempting the murder of her husband. From that time until now the story of the poisoned biscuit has been told throughout the Northwest many hundreds of times hy lawvers and others, and it has seldom been told correctly. So far as is known thc true version hai never appeared in print. Bi ncc the incorrect story of the matter has received such v. ide circulation, a reliable narrative of the incident will doubtless prove readable to many. Somewhere between the yean of l-l') and 1845 the wife of a farmer of Hills dale County, Mich., baked some biscuits one Sunday morning and then went lo church, leaving her husband to take din ner alone. As he sat down to bis meal, however, a young farm labore r came to thc house and joined bim at his repast. Each ate of the newly baked biscuits, but quickly found them unpalatable and put them aside. Neither one bad eaten more than half a biscuit. IJoth were soon taken violently ill and displayed strong symptoms of arsenical poisoning. Thc young man recovered from bil sick ness "after some days of intense- 'uttering, hut the farmer lingered in a dying con? tlition for more than -i year, an?l finally expired. Sixteen years before this lime the farme r had marric'l li is wife for her money. She brought him $3,900. He purchased n farm with this ninon nt and in a few years he became quite forehand id. His greatest enjoyment, apparently, was to annoy his wife in every conceiva ble mininer. Hi-* favorite amusement wa* to pull their little child out of bed in the night and beat it cruel ly." They Dually concluded to obtain a divorce from each other. The farmer agreed to iii ve his wife a lien on his property for |l,OOO for the support of herself arni child. The mortgage was made out and placed in a lawyer's hands to await the divorce. Thc wife, in consideration of thc mortgage, signed a quil-clairn deed to all her husband's property. Oo tho eve of thc granting of the divorce the farmer secured the mortgage arni de stroyed it, intending to put Hie deed on record after the divorce was granted. His wife discovered thc cheat and-stopped the divorce proceedings. She then deliberately planned lo kill her husband. Hhe sought a reconciliation and went hack lo live with him. One day. she disguised in male attire, went to Hins dale and purchased aquantityof nrscnie. Thia she mixed in a batch of biscuits and left them for ber husband to eat. In a short limo ?he was arrested. By law the woman could noi bc tried for murder because her husband had lived more than a year aflct he was poisoned, ??ihc was indicted for poisoning und put on trial in Hillsdale. Mr. Van Arman, then a young mau with a law rd lice in Marshall, Mich., defended her. A young French chemist from D?truit tes tified against thu accused, ile wai tho only chemist that Detroit afforded, and he was a very incompetent one. This voung man swore to the jury that he bad analyzed several of tbe biscuits which the prisoner bad made for her husband's eating, and had found they contained arsenic. From thi-i quantita tive analysis he swore positively that the husband had swallowed less than a grain af nrsenic. Thu chemist further swore Lhat a grain of arsenic was n deadly loso, and that even less might be fntal. There were no railroads in Michigan nt that early day, nod there ?.vus not another chemist nearer than Chicago. Mr. Van Arman, Who had studio ! chem istry in hisyouth, and had even delivered lectures on tho subject, plainly saw tho Frenchman's testimony was woefully incorrect. Mr. Van Arman contended before tho jury, that a grain of arsenic (vas only a medical dose and that the Jefcndant's husband, therefore, must have become fatally ill through ?orne other agency than poison in tho biscuits. Ho could produce no expert testimony to substantiate bis theory because no experts were wfthiu reach. Knowing that a grain of arsenic would not effect tho human system, bs caused a number nf biscuits to be baked by a physician of the town, each of them containing a grain of the deadly substance. Fortu nately for bis client, there wero none of tho origiual biscuits to be had, and the jury could not murmur against thc sub slitution of uew mies. Unving proved by tho physician's who made them that tho biscuits wero proper ly poisoned, Mr. Van Arman, near the beginning of bis closing argument, gracefully ate one of them bufore the jury and continued to mid riva them. He remained in their sight for several hours, and took pains to show then? thut ho swallowed no antidote. The grain of arsenic produced no ill effects on him. Tho prosecuting lawyer could not argue away tho plain fact of the harmless, though poisoned biscuit which tho jury bad seen eaten. When the case was given to them they very promptly acquit ted the prisoner. The truth regarding the biscuits of which the farmer partook was, that they contained four or five times as roach arsenic as the young chemist swore they did. The commonly accepted version o this famous story buH always been ibat Mr..Van Arman ato one of the original itoisoned biscuits just as he closed bis inal argument, and that, after making bis bow to tho jury, he hastened out of the court room uud swallowed a vast quantity of emetics ns mum as tbe door closed behind bim. Thia incorrect story is said to be quite annoying to Mr. Van Annan, as it represents bim resorting to a disgraceful trick to secure the acquittal of bis client. The Heavenly Shepherd. Deep in the midnight that preceded the festival of Spring, nt which the two finit eons of the human race were to bring a thank-offering to tho Creator their mother saw in sleep a wondrous dream. The white roses, which ber ypsngerjum had planted around his altar, were changed to olood-atainou roses, ana more fully blown, such as ahe bad never before seen. Sho tried to pluck them but they withered" beneath her touch Upon the altar, whereon milk alone was the principal offering, now lay a bleed lng Iamb. Voices of lamentation -were heard around, and amid them one voice of despair, till nt last all died away into tones of melody, such as she had never heard before. And a beautiful pluin lay before her more beautiful even than tho Paradise of her youth, and npon it wandered, in th likeness of her son,, a; shepherd clad i white. The red roses were in his bair, and in his hand he held a harp, from which those tones of melody came forth He turned affectionately towards her began to ? approach-and vanished With him vanished the dream. And as the mother awoke, she saw the day-dawn red and blood-like; and abe went forth with a heavy heart to the fee Uval of the tbaukofferiog. The brochera brought their offerings -and their parents returned homeward Bal at evening their younger son came not back. Pul. of anxiety, the mother sought for him, and found only his seat tc red and mournful herd. lt? himself lay all bloody by the altar: the rosea were stained with hia blood, and the agonizing voice of Cain rang loud from a neighboring cavern. . Senseless she sank upon the. corpse of her son, and a second time the vision appeared to ber. The shepherd whom tao saw tn that new paradise, was lier ion. The red roses were lo his hair tweet tones resounded from hia harp and he sweetly sang to her, "Look op ward to the stars ic heaven ; myjireeping mother, look upward. - Behold your ghi teriog cht riot there ; it bear? us to other plaint, to a more beauteous Paradise, than thou in Men sswest ; where the h!;.- ?: d rose ?>i innocence more | fully blooms, and sighs are changed to sounds of melody." The vision disappeared ; andKvearose with new strength from the pallid corpse . of ber son. And on the morrow, when ibe had bedewed bim with her tears, and crowned him with the roses of the altar, his father and mother buried him by thc ! sitar of his God, in the light of a beau- i tcous daydawn. And oft at midnight ?al they by his grave, and gazed toward heaven, upward to the higll-llioviug chariot ol stars, and -ought tti* ir shep herd there. - Col. II. 1*.
