POE T RY. I
_Mtts. BUTLEWS points.
Below we give some specinxens of the literary
taste and genius of Mrs Frances Butler, better
know, perhaps, as Fanny Ketnltle. lfany thing
“’l"lll"g5t evidently intended to pitzzle
pursuit, he had at last been led dire-ctly,to
the near vicinity of Jack Long’s lint. This
created much siirpfise; for no one had sits-
pected Jack of bad habits. But Hinch and
his villians bruited fur and wide all the
circumstances tending to criixiinate him.
After "tfllilttg these things as notorious as
possible, attracting as great a tlegreé of
pulillc curiosity as he could to the farther
investgatiori, which he professed to be
carrying on lortlte purpose of fixing the
<llUIlICl'lS guilt beyond a doubt, the horse
was ttticxpectetlly found tied with a lariat
«to a tree in S1 dense bottom near .Iack‘s.
t.This scented to settle the question of his
criittitial ly, and there ~\v;ts it generuloutcry
;t‘aise(l around him on all sides. Far though
the inajot'ity of those most clztmorotis it-
gainst ltim were horse-tliievcs tlieimelves,
yet according to the doctrine of “honor
:iino:ig tltieves.” there could be no greater
or iriore unpitrdonablc enormity cotntiiittcd
than to steal among themselves. ‘He tniist
be warned to quit the cottnty,’ was in the
month ofevcry body, and he was warned.
Jack with great simplicity gave thorn to
understand——tbat be “"215 not ready to go
—that when he was, he should leave - at
his leisiire—but that if l.is convertience:
aitd theirs did not happen to agree, they
migltt irtalte the roost ofii. This left no
:tlterit:ttive but force; and as no individu-
’,al f lt disposed to take the personal te-
sponsibility tipon ltimselfofa collision with
so Llnpl‘()ttllsll|Q_‘ it looking body, l-Iirtch, eit-
found,we prefer to let the reader have the henefitt
of the search. They are wellcalctilatt-d to set
the young blood to coursing in old veins. We
have not the voltttnc of these poems, but copy
the extracts as quoted iii the review of it
by the London Quarterly, and from the Quar-
terly. into the May number of the'Eclectit: Mag-

strong law with Jack. Bounding tip, he
seized a vessel and started for the stream
—-—thc little ones poutirig wistfully as they
looked after him frotn the door. It was
against Jack's religion to step outside the
door without his grin; but this time Mol-
ly was in a hurry for the water, there was
no time to get the gun, and it was but a
short way to the’stream. He sprang gaily
along the rt’t’t‘t'row path down the hill and
reached the brink. The water had been‘
dipped tip .:3pd,lie‘wa’_s_ retu'rii‘i'.b‘g fit rapid
pace tltrough the thicket,when,where itwas
very high and bordered close itpon the path
he suddenly felt something tap ltim on each
shoulder, and his progress impeded strage-
ly. Al the some instant 3 number of men
rushed from ambush on each side of hitn,
several of them holding the end of the
stout raw-ltide lasso,_ which had been
tliroivn over him. He instantly put forth
all his trerriciidtious strength in :1 convul-
sive cffort to get free; and so powerful
was his frame that he would have succeed-
ed but for the stire skill with wlticli the
lasso had been thrown that bound him ,0-
ver either arm. As it was, his remarka-
ble /igor, iierved by desperation, was suf-
ficient to drag the six strong men who
clung to the rope after l:int. He heard the
voice of l-linch shoot eagerly, ‘Down with
him! Drag hint down!’ At that hateful
sound a supcrriatttral activity possessed
him, and writhing with a quick spring’ that
shook off those who clung around his
limbs, he had almost succeeded in reach-

The round, happy face of his wife greeted’
ltiin with smiles from the door as be ap-
,pr0acltcd, while his little boy and girl, not
brown and rttddy, strove with emulous
short steps paltering over the thick grass,
to meet him first, and clinging to his fin-
gers, prattled and shouted to tell their mo-
ther of his coming. He entered, and the
precious rifle was carefully deposited on
the accustomed ‘books’ of buck’s ltorns
nailed against the wall. The smoking
meal her tidy care had prepared-\vas dis-
patched, and the hunting adventures . of
the day told over. Then he threw him-
self with his great length along the bnffa‘lo
robe on the floor, to rest and have a romp
with the cltildren. \Vhile they were
climbing over his large body, and scra_m

From this time poor Jack was in hot wa-
ter. Shortly after ahorse was stolen from
a rich and powerful planter in the neigh-
borhood of the town. The animal was a
fine one, and the planter was greatly on-
raged at the loss, for he was one of those
who paid “black mail” to the Regulators
for ‘protection from all-such annoyances,
immunity from deprcdations not only‘ by
themselves, but from any other quarter.-—
He now called upon them to hunt down the
thief. as they were bound under the con-
tract’ to do, and return the horse. Hinch
collected his band with great parade and
proceeded to follow the trail, which was
readily discoverable near the Planter's _ .
house. Late irt the evening he returned spoke for some water for her_(lQf_.D‘€,S?“'— Pf‘

of every amusement the country offered.
We were soon actively and entirely ab-
sorbed in a daily round ofexcititt-,r chases.
One day several oftlte neighborsiwere in‘-'

mustered for it grand ‘Deer Drive.’ In this
sport dogs are used, and ttitder the charge
oftlte ‘Driver,’ as he is called, they are ta-

rousing and dri'ving out the’ deer, who
have a habit of always passing out from
ope l_ineo'f t‘i‘itr'b'er to another at or near
the siitirne spot, and these places are either
known to the hunters from experience or
observation of the nature of the ground.
At these ‘crossing places’- the ‘Standers’
are stationed with their rifles to watch for
tlte coming out of the deer, who are shot
,-up the opposite edge ofa line of timber,
iovera mile i_ri width, while the ‘Driver’
fpenetrttted it with the dogs. On our side,

his family disappeared, nor did any one

For a little while there were various ru-
mors, but the whole affair was soon for-'
gotten amidst the frequent recurrence of
similar scenes. ,
It was about four montlts after these oc-
currcnces that with a friend I was traver-
sing Western Texas. We-were bothanx-
iotis to familiarize ourselves with the _to.
pography of the country, and to combine,
as much as possible, amusement with our
researches into its natural history. About
equally zealous for science and the ‘sports,’
we made it a point, on reaching any dis-
ltrict which promised mtich for either, _ to
'niake’ some excuse for stopping.
