Mo:n.-*.ir:\T to thi-: BSoBDEBBD BOTLB¿B.—Th? citizens ui' Louisville have erect ed a monument to
W. 11. <;. Butler, the teacher shot by Matt, Ward.
It is an elegant piece of workmanship, built of
Italian marble, about ten feet in height. The inscriptions on its sides arc as follows:
■' William II. O. Buttler, born in Jefferson
tajim-iy, tndiana, Octobers, 1825,
died at Louisville, K*y., Nov.
,   *    2d,l'855." '■-"'
On tlte reverse:
11 A man without fear and without reproach ;
of gentle and retiring disposition; of
clear iBBfla .vigorous mind ; an ac- "
complEshed ¿scholar; a devoted nndsSieeSSrul teacher ;   a mees and
¡nimble Christian."
yin jJhdNqEÜjjpijte :
"He fell by tin: hand of violence, in the presence
of his loving pupils—a'martyr to his iidel-
ity in the discharge of his duty,"
Ou thc South side :
" Tii is monument is erected by his pupils aud a
bereaved community, to show their *p-
preeiatiou of his worth, and to
perpetuate their horror ."'
at his murder."
This is not more a niGirjiment to the murdered
man than to the murderer;   for, on the stone, to
the gaze ofall eyes, is his crime engraved in words
tbat no atonement ean wash away,   liow'much hotter for the criminal's own memory if he had suffer-
■;.t some legal penalty lor the bloody deed.—[Sandusky Register.

A HyjKitlictlcnl Casc.
Some years ago, au awkward cliap in Westers
New York, who obtained liis living by forging in a
blacksmith shop, hired a iiorso one day to carry a
load of wrought nails to the next town, a few miles
distant. While descending a steep hill, the -smith
gave hia hor?e a few extra cuts, thinking to accelerate hid «peed in a place where graduation seconded the motions of the wagon, but the steed stumbled, floundered into the ditch, and kicked the—
bucket. The blacksmith, upou turning tho body
over, discovered that the anatomical harmony ol
the beast's neck *iM destroyed, that the spine was
dislocated beyond the" bone-setter's art, and that in
fact the 'boss' was dead.
With a rueful countenance he repaired to the
owner ofthe nag, and a^ked what Was to be done.
The reply was, -'You must pay for the horse-"'—
The blacksmith demurred, and went to consult a
lawyer.
Th"; lawyer happened to bo away ¿from home,
bjjt his wilet who was prone to mischievous fun,
thought she saw in the-clieiifc food for a little sport,
and inviting him to cuter tiie house, remarked that
she sometimes gave legal advice iu her Jinsband's
, «aa requested htm to" state" his case
plainly.
"Very well," said the blacksmith, seating him-
:self, leisurely, "I'll spose a ease."
"If you please—tliat will do as well as to state
your own," said the handsome attorney.
"Well! yer see its just like this: tí'posinyouwas
an old hoss—an1 I should drive you to mill. And
«•fiosiu 1 should cut you up the leas test mite on thc
flank, aad you should rear up and kick up and
break the lirecchiu, and finally yet* should fall iuto
a ditch, and break yer cussed heel:—who'd pay fbr
yc?—Would IV asked the excited Yulen.i, in a
voice of thuuder. 'No, I'd be hammered into horseshoe nails, and driven into the devil's cloven foot
afore I'd pay the Ehstred cent!' ¡;jj^i;^i;^^^~
The lady decided that lie had a clear case, aud
might go ahead without fear of damages.

lovely wife, the I.r.dy Blanche. She was a delicate and slender girl, with nofhing matronly in
either air, or figure', not certainly over eighteen,
and of rare beauty. Beauty indeed was here, of
tlie first order ; thc high, pale forehead, from whieh
the brown ends fell in profusion j the .leiieaiciy
penciled eye-brows and large, soft, brown eyes, giving with a saddened, but calm look upon the count
—all were perfect in their serene, holy beauty. Henri Guarinois looked sadly upon his lovely wife, the
brido of but four short months, whom he must now
leave to mingle In tho blood and strife of war. fn
silence they stood, till the count, rousing himself
from his abstraction, saiil :
"My good steed Trcbizoihl and my mon-at-cirms

Lady Jí lanche was pale, but her eye was as bright
and calm as ever—«he would not, she a warrior's
wile, show liow her heart trembled and sank. After a mutual embrace, one lx>n<j;, last kiss, she with
her own delicate lingers laced his helmet:, Heriia-

SEBASTOPOL NOT TAKEN
"Go, and mayGtod.be with you and keep you.
my noble Henri I"
One instant more, ami lie had vaulted into his
Saddle, and at tho head of his men-at-armp, was
dashing out ofthe courtyard. Their lance points
flashed like diamonds ia tiie moonlight, and the
steel shod hoofls of their horses clanged merrily on
the stones. Ere the outer gate was passed, the
count turned in his saddle and waved a mute flÜOU
to his loved lady; one moment his white crest
mingled with his charger's (lowing mane, t-hene.vl
he was gone, and thegate closed behind him.
Long stood Lady Blanche in that castle door,
with the moon lightingup her sad, pale (ace ; lon^
alter ber husband's loria had disappeared from her
sight, she stood attentively listening to thc sound
ofthe steel shod hoofs, growing faint and more
fainter, till even her anxious ear could eatcii no
further sound ; then witii a sigh, she turned to her
desolate apartments.
The drawbridge ivas secured, the portcullis lowered by her orders, and a vow she registered, to admit no stranger tothe hospitality of her hoard, until her husband returned. Many noble ladies did
the same while their lords wore absent and in peril.
Many teaas were .shed after thc fight of'Kouccsval-
les. The Moors fought like demons. Thc smoke
hung like a pall over the battle Held ; a mingled
clamor as of thousands in agony, .«¡note on the ears
of the despairing Frenchmen. Backwards and ior-
i wards rode the knights and paladins, cheering
and shouting to the men. Foremost was Count
Guarinois, apparently fresh and unwearied. "On.
on to thc rescue! Closeiip! France and victory!''
he shoul,ed,*but to no purpose. The column was
broken and panic struck, and borne backwards in
wild con'usion. The heart oi'Gunrinois.sank when
he beheld the despair and wild retreat ofthe men.
Knights and men-at-arms all seemed to be struck
alike with despair and terror. One more pffijri the
brave Guarinois made. Waving bisiaaoe on high
and putting spurs to his ¿ral hint charger, he rushed
forwards, his white plume streaming iu thc air, and
his olear, high tones distinctly beard.
"Fly not, cravens—ily not J Death to thy Moors!
Forward tend conquer!"
Alas it availed nothing. Thc soldiers pushed
not forwards', and the Moors closed around the devoted warrior and his icw remaining men-at-arms,
trusty followers, who would not leave their lord
in his great peril. Surrounded as he was, he still
fought with desperation, still shouting "France and
victory!" The Frenchmen heard, but they only
made a faint attempt of rallying to his rescue. Ilis
followers were cut down one by one, yet still iie
fought. Laying aside liis lance he seized his ponderous battle-axe. liaising ttimeelfin iii;- stimrps,
he ¿wielded it wiih wonderful strength,and at each
blow a Moorish knight .rolled in the dust, and a
horse careered riderless, over that bloody plain.
But one man cannot hold his ground against numbers, and a well directed blow from a lasce unhorsed the now exhausted but dauntless cavalier Guarinois. As the Moor who had overthrown him was
about to cleave his head from his body, the Kiflfir
Marlotes, one of thc seven Moorish king.-, das'hed
up.
"Slayhim not, slay h,m not.''-' lie shouted, "but
boar him off» prisoner.-''
The day closed iu, and darkness .spread its welcome cloak over that held, which i ad b.vn Ihe
scene ofthe bloody an 1 fetal light of licnce.svallcs.
O, weep, ye men of France over your defeat!
Weep, thon beautiful Lady Blanche, fbr thy brave
Henri lies in a Moorish dungeon '? Hide your heads
in shame, yc cravens, who came not to thc rescue
of tho brave, true Guarinois!
■ In an apratment ofthe palace sat two maidens ;
Xarifa aud Madisma, daughters of King Marlotes.
Xarifti spoke first.    ,
"Do you wish to see this captive, thc Christian
knight V
'■Ay, that I do,
est ofthe maidens. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^—
"Sister, what knight have wc who is his equal ?"
Report says lie is young and handsome, and wc

"Why, sister, you are letting your thoughts ily
too far witii you. Bernardo would not have allowed him self to be taken al; all."
renounce thy faith. " Become a Moslem, and with
joy I will receive thee."
A derisive smile played for a moment on his
handsome faeo, 1ml Guarinois answered not.
'■Now, listen, Count Gnorinois; but become a
Moslem, and thou shalt have either of mv fair
daughters for thy wife. Thou speakest not! If thou
Wishes! more, more will 1 irivetheo. Speak boldly
then, whal is Giv f'iu-fh.T wish'.'"
Kindly Uie King Marlotes spoke} r<;r Era loved
his noble captive, and would fain win him for himself and daughter.    Nut one moment did the count
i,pause to think, but clear and promptly came thi;.-
: answer.
"God forbid, and Man his dear mother, that I
should renounce the faith of Christ, mid adhere to
Allah. I want no ".-¡fe. I have one in my sunny
France; I do not need another one in Spain, No
kindly though you have .spoken, and generously
offered me thy child, I cannot abjure my faith OT
break my marriage vow,''
lung Marlutes*;- eyes hashed, and he clenched his
hands ¡n i\igo.
"Think once again. Count Guarinnis. Tffc offer
ofa king's daughter shoold not be lightly refased.
Accept, and life, liberty, and power are thine, henceforth. .Kefuse. and the lowest dungeon I possess,
is thy life-long abode!''
No muscle of thc count's face  moved, his eve 	
quailed not .before the flewe rage of liie king.    No    v.ilhin liiy balk
thought of yielding had place a moment   (hough       "-Vobh
his heart sank.    Finn nml calm Be stood in Ids high
courage, and his voice faltered not though he knew
that his answer would shut him onl  fiorever*frora
the pleasant light of day.    Again he repented, and
his voice was clear and high :        ,
"I cannot change my faith, or break my vow for
love or life."
Marlotes sprang from his scat in fierce rage, and
hoarselj he gave the order:
"Hind him hand and foot. Bear him to the dungeon, keep him beneath tiie vault, let him lie and
perish!"
They chained him with heavy bolts of iron and
rattling chains, and led him out. One last, lingering, wislfnl look he cast HpOp the bright heavens,
and spreading vales, lit up by the glad warm sun,
then a step forward, and thc heavy, durk door that
was to shot bim in from all the bright life closed.
On through the stillness and gloom they led bim ;
down steps and along passages, till they reached
the lowest dungeon in the castle. Thc only light
that entered that dismal cell crept ¡n through ¡wo
chinks in the thick walls, high aboi e hlfl head, so
that he might never hope to catch the smallest
glimpse of beautiful nature. The ray of light was
gray and cold, and the irallswcre rough and chill,
iu the dismal place henceforth tobe the life long
abode ofthe young, brave knight Guarinois. When
he had entered (lie dungeon, he turned and saw
-Marlotes standing nf (he eotra006<
'■This, sir knight is to be your resting place.
Once more,. I otter yon your freedom, if yon will
but embrace thc faith of Allah,"
Guarinois turned away, saying :
" Close the door.    Ay, bolt and bar it strong,and
so destroy all hope."
"By the beard of Allah," exclaimed ihe king,
"'but thou art a stubborn knight."
The door closed, and the echoing tread of the
soldiers was heard no more.
even years have passed in gbom and WOO. ftUd
only three times in each long weary year bad Count
Henri Guarinois breathed the free air. Three festival days in every year had he been led forth
chained and guarded, tobe the sport and mockery
of the assembled throngs. The seven years had
slowly dragged on in hopeless misery, wearily,
with no hope of change save by death.
An unusual bustle and clamor in the world without had aroused Guarinois front his apathy and
despair, and when his jailer brought his food, be
asked hirn the cause.
" Is it," ho asked, "anolher feast day when I
shall be brought forth from hence to become (he
mark of scornful words and hate? or does some
brave young night wed the daughter of Marlotes,

''Ha. ha, so thou art caught by tin- reports concerning this brave infidel captive knight!-"'
Three days had Henri Guarinois been imprisoned, though his piuco of confinement was light and
large, aud he liad been treated with ail kindness by
tho King Marlotes. He was aroused from a revery
iuto which he had fallen by the opening of bin prison door and the entrance of the jailor, accomnani-
The jailer replied :—
■ " These trumpet sounds do not announce feast or
bridal Joy ** rather hunger and sorrow. It is John
tiie Baptist's day, when all join in jousts and tilts.
The king Marlotc?.in his joy bas placed a target as
a spearanan's mark, but so high iu air that all have
failed to reach it to pierce the ring, or tli row it
down. Marlotes in his fierce rage has proclaimed
by heralds through tho town tliat no man, woman.
or child shail taste food till the prize he ¡rained."
Springing to his icet, the pale Guarinois spake
out :
'• Xow help rae God were I but armed and moim-
ted oa my own grfty SVebüsond, ali would enjoy
tlieir food full soon, for whatever the height, Í
weuld reach the prize,"
The jailer marvelled. Would this pale knight,
who in chains liad languished seven weary year?,
attempt what gallant practised spearmen had failed in?"
"List to mc, sir jaiier. Give mc my trusty steed,
if he is not long since dead, all caparisoned as of
old ; give me the trusty lance I 'brought with me
from home, and my good armor, and 1 will win the
prize or die."
The jailer spake with wonder in his voice :
"Seven years of gloom sod imprisonment have
not robbed thee of thy brave spirit. 1 will repair
to the king Marlotes, ami report to him thy words.-"-'
What hope has sprung up in thy heart of steel,
brave (iuarinois? The jailer sought and olifüiiu-il
admittance to thc king. The jailer found him seated in his listed ring, with a black cloud on his
brow. He whispered to him the captive's boast.
Marlotes laughed in scorn, then ¡urning to his
knights he said :
"Listen, and you .shall hear brave tilings. My
prisoner Guarinois has Ihis day made the boast that
wero he but mounted oil his old gray steed, with
lance iu rer-t, he would win the prize ye till have
failed to gain, or yield his life blood at my feet."
All assembled laughed, though the king said to
them:

all of ye have failed so shamefully."
Turning, he gave thc order to have the captive
and his horse brought forth.
"Ita, ha," lie laughed, 'twill be a pleasing eight
to behold the enfeebled lord who has borne gloom
and chains, meet his old, ragged sleed. and armed
cap-a-pie in rusty armor, charge in tiie brilliant
sun right at the mark. Me thinks tlie sun will blind

When Guarinois appeared, the king and his
knights langbed more loudly, Ilis horse, old. gray
Trebizond, neighed and plunged so furiously, fha"t
lie freed himself from the groom and rushed madly
to his master, who stroked bis no longer gjossy
neck, and whispered to him, and he was quiet by
bis side. They girded on his suit of mai! ami cuirass, all rusty as they had hung on tho wall; they
laced his helmet on his pale and shrunken face,
and gave him his lance. Tiie knights walched
Guarinois closely, and laughed in anticipated scorn

calm and haughty before him.
"Hast thou found thy couiinement irksome   sir
count?" '
"Any knight would chafe at aconnnement, king,
no matter how pleasant an abode, which keeps him
from mounting his steed with armor girded on. and
lance in hand."
The king smiled, and after stroking his beard
and pondering a moment or two, he Vain «poke
earnestly and hurriedly.
"Now, by the name aod for the sake of Allah
-■1'il steed to be mounted by so gallant knight,"
they cried ; but the laugh was hushed, for wiih all
liis former grace, Guarinois vaulted lightly into
the saddle. Once he slowly rode round the listed
ring, then halted before the king. Marlotes laughed.
"All hail, sir knight," be said. "Do thy best,
