And l - v the landscape before me lie
Through mists ,f burning tears—

No light nor joy I --e;
Nothing but > »U .out wan: is mine,
And no one ear, > for me.
A sparrow was twittering at my leet,
\vith it< hoaittifid aubtirn head,
And looked at me with dark, mild eyes
As it picked up crumbs of hn ad:
And ai 1 tome, in words as plain
As the w ords of a bird could he;
• I'm only a sparrow, a worthier bird,
li st tli.1 dear Lord i ;.r, - for no-.
A iily Wit- growing l-.-rb- !• • hedge.
lieautiful, tall, and white.
And it shone through tlieg! is-v leaves of green
Like an angel clot lied in light
And it said to me, ns it waved it- iicad,
On the breezes -oft mid free :
*• I'm only a lily, a useless llov.s r,
l?ut the Master cares ior me
’fheii ii seemed tlist* the It tit I of the loving
Lord
Over niy head \vu' laid
And lie s..: i to me : " o faithless child,
Wherefore art thou dismayed '

Capt. John Brown, of which we know evert
minutest d-tail, a# it happened in *"<- 1"1

' child in its mother’s arms and walked
cheerfully on to the acafluid, thankful that
; he was ‘ allot'.id to die for a cause, and not
merely to pay thadebt of nature as all in tut.’"
Respecting the statements contained in
the above paragraph, quoted from the book
above mentioned, 1 solemnly declare:
I. That (.’apt. John Rrown was not “al
lowed to lie in bi> bloody clothes till the
day of bis execution," but that be was fur
nislie I with a change of elutliiug as prompt
ly as prisoners in such condition usually
are; that lie was allowed all the clothing lie
desired; and that his washing was done at
hi - w ill, without cost to himself. As an of
fhvr, charp-d with liis custody, l saw that
iw was at all times and by all persons treat
ed kindly properly and respectfully. I have
no recollection that there ever was any at
tempt made to humiliate ordinal treat him.
Capt. Rrown took many occasions to thank
me far my kindness to him, ami spoke of it
to many persons. Including bis wife. Fn
turtle t proof of the kindness lie received at
my hands, I will state that Capt. Rrown, in
. bis last will and testament, bequeathed to
mo hi-- Sliarju-’s rifle ami a pistol. Further
more, on the night before hi* execution
• apt. Rrown and bis wife, upon my invita
tion, took -upper with mound m.v family at
. >n r (aide in our residence*, which watt a part
< ! the jail building.
:!. I have no recollection that the* Sheriff
-aid to Capt. Rrown “yon area game man,'
and received the reply quoted in the above
paragraph, nr that any similar remark* were
ina le by either of the parties. I am suro
that m-ilh i those remarks nor any like
tin :n v.t re made at the tiim*. I lie only re
marks Hindi* by ('apt. Brown between his
e 1! and the read >id were minnionpUce re
