I'm Growing; Old.
Tho following stanzas first appoared in the
Andover Advertiser, ?nd are sato to have been
written by a lady of New York city:
I'm growing old-'tis sorely so;
And yet now ?hort it seems .
Since 1 was bot a sportive child:
Enjoying childish dreams I
I cannot neo the chango that como?.:
With such an even pace; : ..
I mark not when the wrinkles fall
Upon my fading face.
I know Vm old,- and yet my heart
Is jost as young and gay
As e'er it was before my locl?o L ,
Of brightbYow?j turned to-grjy: ' 1
I know these oyes to other oyes ? > ? i
Looked-not eo bright and glad i
As once they looked: and yet -'tis not Vi '
Because my heart's moro sad.
I nover watched.with purer joy
The floating clouds and glowing skies,
While-glistening tears of-rapture lill
These old ano fading eye?.
And where I mark the chock, where once,
The bright rose used to glow, ? I
It grieves me not to eeo instead '
The alraondd crowu my brow.
I've seen the flower grow old and' palo,,
And withered moro than I;
I've ?eon it lose its eveiw charm,
..? Thou droop away and die.
And then I've seen it rise again,
Bright ab the beaming sky,
And young and pure and beaut iful
. And felt that BO shall I.
Then whatuf I am growing old
My heart ia changeless still,
And God has given mo enough i
Thia loving heart to AU.
I love to seo the sun go down,
And lenthoning shadows throw
Along the ground, while o'er ruy head
The olonds in crimson glow.
I see beyond these gorgeous cl?ude,
A country bright and fair,
Which heeds no sun; God and the Lamb
ita light and beauty there.
Ol I am glad I'm growing old!
For every day I spend ,
Shall bring me ono day near that
Bright day that has no end.

HUNTED DOWN, TALE OF THE 1? EST.
BY W. SCOTT WAT.
Tho time-a beautiful summer's night
in tho year of our Lord ono thousand
eight, hundred and fifty. The scene
the social saloon of the beautiful steamer
Mercury, as she steamed swiftly down
the Missouri ri Vor." ^
"I'll ploy poker with any chap present,
for five, ten, fifteen, or twenty dollars
ante," said a rough looking customer,
walking to a table and throwing a pack
of cards upon it; .'who'll ploy?"
"How mitch anto did you say, stran?
ger?" asked a green specimen of human?
ity, on the long, lank, and bony order,
from his seat ia tho corner. 1 His cloth?
ing was of rough .material and fifc-him
poorly ; his hat was a beaver that looked
os though it had seen muon rough triage
and many storms; his forehead was-high
and well formed, his nose prominent,
and his eyes dark and small. The re?
mainder of his. faco was covered with
thick, coarse hair.
"Five, ten, fiftoen, or twenty, is what
I said," the rough looking customer re?
plied, seating himself at the table and
running the cords through his fingers
"you know how to play, I suppose?"
"Wal, 1 reckon Jim, Bijowu' -knows'
somothin' about keerds when his dad
dr a wed his last breathe a' play in' all
fours! The last words he sed were 'right
'em up an' shuffle 'em out, gardner ;
high, low, jack an' the game for us, or a
busted biler! :Yes, stranger;" the green
customer .concluded, "I'llplay you poker"
for ten dollars ante. I can't begin aby.
higher 'an that 'cause I'm rather scarce
o'Un." .
"A green one," whispered the gambler
to a friend, as Jim Brown seated himself
on the opposite side of the table, "and if
I don't clean him out of every cent he's
got, in less than two hours, ' my name
ain't Joe Sparks, that's all."
Tho cards were now shuffled, cut and
dealt, the ante.posted in the middle of
the table, and the game commenced.
Brown vtta allowed to win until he had
pulled abor fifty dollars to his side of
the table, aad then tho luck suddenly
turned and his oppouent began to win it
rapidly back.
"Jingo 1" bc exclaimed, "I never had
sich luck in my life. Can't git nothin'
but deuces au' queens, an* queens is the
durndes unluckiest keerds in the whole
pack. If my father was alive an' here
now, he'd say to me, Jim Brown o'
Arkansas, I can't own a son o' mine
when he holds sieh hands as them
jingo! I've lost agin!"
"Let us raise the ante to twenty dol?
lars," said Sparks, pulling tho money
from tho centre of the table.
"Jingo! its too much! You'll bu3t
mel" exclaimed Brown, half jumping
from his chair, "but I'll try it, maybo
a raise in the auto 'll change tho luck.
Shuffle 'om up."
Sparks dealt the cards out, one at a
time until each had five, and then placed
a twenty dollar bill in tho centre of the
table.
"Jingo!" exclaimed Brown looking at
his cards, "I'll bet twenty-five on her, if
Ido loso."
"See your twouty-fivc, and go ono
hundred batter, said Joe Sparks with a
smile.
"See your hundred, and put five hun?
dred on top of it; there's no use o' bet
tin* without you bet, ns dad used to say,"
Brown ejaculated, takiug n roll of bills
from an inside pocket and laying the
amount ho had bot on tho table; and
then, turning suddenly round, ho said to
a man who had been sitting behind him
from tho time the game had commenced:
"Look a here, stranger, I'vo seed you
lookin' into my band twice, an' then
wink at this chap I nm pinyin' with, un'
if I see you do it again I'll smash you in
the face, that's all!"
"I'll see your five hundred, and go one
thousand botter," said Sparks, putting
up tho money.
"Jingo! yourmeau bettin'," exclaimed
Jim Brown, of Arkansas, "wal, I'm still
in, I guess; I'll go ye tivo thousand bet
tcrl"
"I call you," said his opponent, lay
ing down the required amount of money
in large bill?.
??suii
"What yon can^-beat," returned the
other; laying down foar.?eeo.on the ta?
ble, "pretty hand, ain't it?V A I
KYes. * it is^?V*j?ng?! go*
j ist thefame-haudiexaetlyi" said Brown,'
showing'tWac*, also:1 . " . J
"*Thnnd?r?tionr' exclaimed Sparke,'
"what does this mean* eight BOOS in one
ijftok of carda-who ever heard tell of tho

coolly; "it mean? that you got your aces

"What do .yon say?." asked Sparks.
"Xiooy that yon got them' four aces
oat o' your coat pocket," returned tho
other;, taking tba money from the, table,1
andi ptfttinjjlt lri'his'pbckefs.
"And i say that you are ii1 fiarl'L ex?
claimed the gambler, drawing, a ;k?ife,
"ami if you don't hand that money 'over
in fire "Seconds, IH1 try this Arkansas
tooth pick on yod."
"Joe Sparks," returned the 'Other, his
small black eyes flashing as he draw bis
knife, "that's a gamp tv?o can play nt,
bat hold awhile. I have a few words to
say to you. Yod, ? h?ve a short story" to
tell you, and ? want your attention.
"Ten years ago," Brown continued,
keeping his oyen fixed upon tho faco of
Sparks, "ther?lived- about thirty miles
West of St. Louis, ono David Stanley, a
farmer, who hod a daughter as good and
as beautiful as on angel-you know how
beautiful she was, sir-bat of her beauty
I will notjfurther speak. "Well, this yoong
girl had. suitors by the score. ' All (the
young men for miles around, dreamed1,
t h ought, and talked of her, and as she
was not a flirt, she was more annoyed
than otherwise by the attention of so
many.! But it is only with two of these
?oung men whom we have to deal, and
'll speak of them at once.
. While.Brown was .sneaking, his late
?opponent stood motionless, his knife
grasped tightly in his right hand, and
his gaze fixed on the face of tho sup?
posed green ono.
I. v?nevof her suitors, "the narrator con?
tinued, was Charles Elton, tho son of a
neighboring farmer, and she loved him,
and him alone, an only such true and
I noble women ctfh love, and" whon he
asked her to become his wife, she laid
her head on his breast and told him she
would. i
* 'The other, yo}lDg.~man alluded to was
Henry Bardwell, gi St. Loais. ' He 'had
persecuted this young girl willi his at?
tentions for many months, notwithstand?
ing she had rejectocUais offer of marriage,
and told him that*she cotild never caro
for him more than n friend. Well, when
ho heard that.alie was sqon to bo married
to young Elton, ho .grow madly jealous,
and swore that she should never bo the
wife of auy other than himself."
"What bav? I gotto do with all this?'
asked Sparks, growing pale, as Brown
mado a short pause.
"I will tell you in a moment; you musl
hear me through," was the reply, "thi
story will soon be ended. The night on
which Charles Elton WAS. to.make Lizzie
Stanley his wife a'rrivc5j"and with a lighl
and happy heart he mounted his horse,
and rode to her father's house, to fine
his intended wife a corpse! Yes, she hat
been murdered by tho hand of Heurs
Bardwell, while going to a spring noi
fifty yards from the house. Her fathei
BOW the deed done from tho window of hi;
room, where he was confined by sick
ness.
"The murderer fled Soon as the bloody
work was accomplished, and since that
hoar I hare never ceased to hunt foi
him. Yoa start when ycu'hear me ns<
the.-pronoun L and well you may? for ]
-am Charley Elton, and not green Jin
Brown, of Arkansas, as you suppos?e
mo to be, and yon"-he bent his beac
forward And ,hissed .the words througl
hui teeth-?"you are Henry Bardwell, thi
murderer of Lizzie Stanley!"
His late opponent remained motion
less and speechless, and Elton, as ho wil
be oalled hereafter, continued:
"Perhaps yon doubt my word, but !
will soon dispel your doubts. Look a
me now, aud seo if you don't kuow me'?'
As he said this he pulled tho false whie
kers from his face, and disclosed a hand
some countenance.
At this Bardwell stepped back, but in
stanily recovering himself, he clutche<
his knife" tighter in his baud, and said:
"Well, suppose thia is nil, true, sup
foso you're Charles Elton, arid suppos
'rn Henry Bardwell-what of it?"
"Why," hissed the othor, "both of u
will never leave this boat alive, that'
all. I haven't tracked you through
dozen States, aud followed you near te:
years, to let you slip through my fingers
No, Henry Bardwell, you know m
too well to think that; but I will giv
you fair play. You have a knife and s
nave I. They1 are as near alike as it i
Eossible to get knives, so come up on th
urricjune deck, and we'll settle the nfiai
at once."
Tho'two men ascended to the uppe
deck of tho steamer, followed by o nun
ber pf passengers, and stopped, facin
each other just aft of the smoke staci
The captain appeared, and tried to dis
suado the men from their purpose, bu
his wolds had no effect whatever.
. "Now, murderer," hissed Elton, as h
raised his knife, "defend yourself. Th
thirst for revenge i* consuming mc!"
Their knives were both raised abov
their heads, and then they descended
flashing brightly in the moon-light, an
then clashed together with a shar
sound. Both the men were skilled i
tho use ef the Bowie, and it was evidet
to thc spectators that the contest, as ft
as strength and skill was concerned, wt
equal.
Fiercer and fiercer grew the fight; tri
knives flashed up and down, and clashe
loudly together. Each man kept h
eyes fixed on tho face of his antagonis
and neither moved from the position t
had first taken.
