A recent case has come under the notice of the Editor, in which a person whose apprehension was sought in England, and who was described in the POLICE GAZETTE, gave himself up to the Colonial Police. The prosecutor declined to take any further action in the matter, but the case necessitated the despatch of two telegrams, the cost of which had to be re- funded by him. To avoid such expense, the Editor requests, that if there is reason to believe that a fugitive offender is likely to go to the Colonies, and the prosecutor is un- willing to incur any expense, with a view to obtain his surrender, a notification be made in the communi- cation sent to this Office to the effect that the offender is not to be arrested beyond the United Kingdom. The necessity for the adoption of such a course will be apparent from the fact that the POLICE GAZETTE is circulated in the Colonies. sought for stealing £ 60 16s., the monies of the London and South- Western Railway Company, age 23, height 5 ft. 5 in., complexion fair, hair light, eyes grey, speaks with Irish accent and feminine voice ; dress, black diagonal frock coat, brown mixture tweed trousers and vest, hard felt hat.

THE MUSTER ROLL. ( An incident of the late American War.) A BATTLE had been fought, And on the plain, unmindful of defeat or victory, The slain and wounded lay. Grim death was busy still, unsatisfied, Gathering the remnants of that sad day's spoil. As night drew on, Two men of God were seen, moving amid Those scenes of death and dying agony, As, nerved by heavenly strength, and tender care For souls, they sought to comfort dying saints By whispering in their ears His promises For whom nor life nor death can separate ; And to the Lamb of God whose precious blood Can cleanse from every sin, to point the gaze Of those whose day of life was almost past, Their sins yet unforgiven. And now they stand Beside a manly form, outstretched alone, His helmet from his head had fallen, his hand Still firmly grasped his keen but broken sword ; His face was cold, and, thinking he was gone, They were just passing on, for time was precious, When a faint sigh caught their attentive ears— Life was still there— so, bending softly down, They whispered in his ears most earnestly, Yet with that hush and gentleness with which We ever speak to a departing soul :— " Brother ! the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, Cleanseth from all sin." The pale lips moved, And gently whispered " Hush /" then they closed, And life seemed gone ;— But yet once more They whispered those thrice- blessed words, in hope To point the parting soul to Christ in Heaven,— *' Brother ! the precious blood of Jesus Christ < Jan cleanse from every sin." Again the pale lips moved, All else was still and motionless, for death Already had his fatal work half done ; But gathering up his quickly failing strength, The dying soldier, dying victor, said,— " Hush ! for the angels call the Muster Roll, I wait to hear MY name."— They spoke no more, What need to speak again 1 for now full well They knew on whom his dying hopes were fixed, And what his prospects were ; so, hushed and still, They, kneeling, watched,— And presently a smile, As of most thrilling and intense delight, Played for a moment on the soldier's face, Ana with his own last breath he whispered " HERE !" Oh ! grand And blessed death, quite ready for the call, He heard his Captain's voice ; life's battle fought, Life's victory won, the soldier thus received His welcome and his crown ! E. J. 0.
