THE JUDGE'S CHAR GE
•It was late at night, between 11 and
12, when the circuit judge stepped from
thehaekney coach which had conveyed
him from the city halt and mounted
the steps of his dwelling. Though
muffled in fur and , encased in a thickly
quilted wrapper, he shuddered with the
cold while striving to fit his key in the
_night-latch ; for_. the sidewalk( were
white with snow and hail, which the
sharp winds whirled Into the air again,
and left in - piles and ridges around the
doorsteps and area-railings.
With a Sigh of relief, the judge threw_
his•wrappers into a ,:erner, pulled off'
his damp boots, and drawing.:folitY_ a
well•worn dressing-gown and a pair of
faded slippers from a closet behind the
door, prepared to make himself warm
d comfortable, atter a day of unusual
anxiety and fatigue.
Wa," he muttered, rubbing his
hands softly together, as he sank into
the crimson easy chair, who, e cushions
closed around him with is soft and moss
like clasp, ''thank Heaven I am at
home at lost ! Poor felloW ! poor fel
low.! 'I am afraid it will' go hard with
hhim!" •
Here the judgc_paused and-sank into
a train - of thought, which seenied
deep and painful. •,
At length he started upright in-his
chair, thrittahis fbot into the, ivell-trod- -
den ..;lippCr, which;, in his soliloquy,
had fallen to the Imarth-rug, and, heav
ing another deep aigh,'-seenied to cast
off the painful thoughts that had op
pressed him.,
He had just succeeded in crushing
his tormentor,' when til6 rang
with a violence that made him start
half up from his chair.
" Nonsense ! it waS an accident,
Something has touched the' bell. No
one can be coming here at this time of
night !" he muttered, sinking back in,
his cushions ; but 'another peal from
the bell, hasty and sharp, as if some
agititted hand had pulled it with uncon
scions violence, deprived him of all
doubt on the subject. He pushed back
his chair, -folded his- dressing-gown
around him, and, taking a light from
the mantelpiece, went out; but though
he walked fast, another loud peal from
the bell hastened his fmtteteps. A gust
of wind blew out his light as he opened
the door ; but there was enough light
to reveal 'the frirm of a female, who
stood on the door•steps, muffled in a
cloak, and with a crimson-lined hood
drawn over face. In the misty dark
ness beyond he could just discern the
outline of a carriage. One of the lamps
was out, but there was a faint light in
the.other ; and the judge afterward re
membered that it was of cut-glass—too
rich for a hackney coach, and without
the number which should mark those
vehicles.
Without zr akitig divord, the woman
entered the all ; and walked forward ;
for the.study-door was' open, and she
had nearly reached it before the judge
could. close the street-doer against the
storm, which was beating full in his

not, endure these thing's iu me, because
I was said to have intellect, and was
rich; had I - been -- poor, - like himself;
and selfishly weak, he would have
yielded up his pride to my great love.
We quarreled.
_lt matters not how or
wherefore, and he went away. For
months I never wrote. He-shall make
the first advances, I - said, week after
week, until my pride was quenched in
keen anxiety. I wrote then, and his
answer was thatle "as married. He
thought that I did not love him—that'
my exactions and haughty will 'arose
from luck of affection. -He should never
love any woman as he had loved me,
his letter said, but •I had cast
EMI from my heart; turd While his sour
was thirsting for sympathy anti-tender
ness, she; the woman he had married,
was thrown in his way. , lle was in
the whirl of society,' and fancying that
excitement was the second birth oflove,
that his -first passion had perished,
when it was only a resentful sleep, he
pledged himself irrevocably to another.
- Oh, how I had loved that. man !
how truly 1 bad suffered ! but no hu
man creature dreamed of it. why should
they ? I had nothing but my pride
left, and that shielded me from pity, -
though it did not from the anguish
which sympathy would have made
more bitter. This was two years ago.
He did not 'return to the city for
months, and when he' did come back
with his bride, it was - long-hero - re - We
met. I saw her often; though, for she
was frequently in public; but is was
always 'with a burning at •the heart,
and something of- haughty scorn, that
one who could love me could love her,
for she_was am inferior woman in in
tellect and person ; my pride, as well
as my affection, was outraged in his
choice.
, "We met at length—oh, how chang
ed dle was! The-Wbole truth had not.
yet reached his heart, but his energies
were broken, - his self-respect was di
minished ; ho was the most pitiable of
all objects, a man of
. strong energies
suddenly rendered hopeless. Jealous
affection made me kden-sighted, and I
knew all this before we had spokett a
word together. It was a bitter joy to
me when I was first convinced that he
did not love the woman he had mar-.
ried. My pride was appeased by this
knowledge, but as that gave way the
passionate love so long held in check
grew into strength again. It was un
premeditated—we never
: should have
sought each-oth&—but after two years'
separation we were thrown together
accidentally, end alone. It was a ter
rible. meeting for us both—terrible in
itself,.most terrible in its consequences.
For, the first time in our lives we pour
ed out our whole hearts each to the
other. All thoughts of pride or pru
dence were swept away by the strong
feelings of the moment. I cannot tell
you all that was said in that last inter
view. The expressions Of, sorrow and
bitter regret on both sides You have
seen him in the court and know in that
terrible trial he seems calm and unim
passioned. It is only the curb of it
strong will on a burnitig nature. That
day he seemed equally calm, equally
immovable, and this made my grief
more eloquent. I did not drerim of the
struggle that was going on unddr.that
cold exterior, and thinking,that ho did
not suffer -dqually with myself, aban
doned myself to reproaches and ex=
pressions of regret that goaded his al

'Be comforted, my poor young lady

the strange girl threw open her cloak

which a few white roses were crushed:

touching earnestness, and folding the
cloak over her person again, 'would

The wretched. girl covered her face
with both hands,. aid for the-first
time during the interview during the
interview burst"into- tears After
weeping with . unreStrained violence for
a few. moments, she Uncovered • her
lace apd with a sad 'smile suddenly
seized the judge's hand between both
of hers;-kissed it, and left -the room
sobbing bitterly. Before the: judge
could Overtake her, or offer her any of
those civilities which her beauty and
evident station Seemed to" demand, she..
had opened the bah door and hurried
out into the dark night. He caught
one glimpse:of her garmentg as she en
tered the carriage, and then, but for
the muffled roll of wheels passing
through the,storm, nil that had passed
within the last half-hour might have''
been a dream.
The next day, when the judge took
his. place on the beneli, the spectators
remarked -that his" eyes were more
heavy than usual, and that his face
was almost as pale as that of the pris

his cheeks were blood-red. He half
started to his feet, dropped again as if
a bullet had cleft his heart, and, after
one- brief — shudder, - -sat. — motionless - as
before, gazing not upon either judge
or jury, but pole and marble-like, on.
his own clasped hands..
Among that sea of human faces no
so moved the prisoner, —and a boy,
muffled in a cloak, pressed so eagerly
onward just after, that it served to
draw attention "from the unhappy man.
Though the crowd was so dense that
it seethed impossible for any. one to ad
vance 'a single step, the lad forced his
Way till he reached those who stood
nearest the prisoner, and, gathering his
cloak about him, stood within a few
paces of the heart-stricken man, pale
and motionless also.
At length the judge_ began to de
liver his charge. He was paler than
usual in such cases, while an express:
ion of stern sorrow lay upon his fea
tures, and gave depth and solemn pa
thos to his voice. Still, though he
seemed more agitated than any one had
over seen him before, his intellect was
clear. „The evidence was against-the
prisoner: there was no.clue, not a sin
gle thread, upon which an honest mind
might fix a doubt.
The prisoner . never lifted bio face
but the boy behind him stood immov
able, with his large eyes rivetcd. on the
judge, and bardly_seeming_to_hreathe._
As the summing up grew more against
the prisoner the boy began to waver.
He reached feAh one band, and grasp
ing the arm of a stranger that stood
near, thus prevented himself from
falling to the floor. .
In the midst of an Bpinion, bear
ing decidedly against the prisoner,
the . judge caught the glance fixed on,
him by this singular boy. The blood
rushed to his cheeks—he stammered—
put his hand to his forehead, and
went on, but his voice was more sub
, clued, and more than once tears were
seen to flood his eyes.
- Night came on, the jury had been
out three hours, and all that time the
crowd remained immovable, and in
the front, .with his -eyes bent on the
stooping head of the prisoner, was
that pale and: trembling boy. They
came in at last, with the unspoken
destiny of .a human being imprinted
on their faces: The boy looked up
an them as they- ranged themselves
in the jury box ; from one to the
other his shrinking eyes were turned
and then, with one wild struggle,' ho
forted a passage into _the crowd.
Guilty ! . That fearful word has.
sealed the death-sentence of two hu—
man beings. Three weeks after the
trial the prisoner was found dead in
his cell. • A paper of powdered opium
which was found in his bosom was all
the explanation of his death that ever
reached - the - public. A week.. after,
the judge received a funeral card,-
which surprised him not a little, for

A GOOD ONE
D wing the first year of the war,
when change was scarce and some large
firms were issuing currency of their
own a fun et went to a store in a
neighbori'ng town and bought some
goods, and gave 'the merchant a five
dollar bill, of which he wanted seven-.
five cents back, The merchant count
ed out the amount and handed it over
to the farrnev. He looked at it a nio
meet, and then inquired; 'What's
this I"lt." ‘ s my currency,' said the
merchant.- 'Wal. it good for
nothing whar I live,' .said the farmer.
'Very n•ell,' replied the merchant,
'keep it until you get a dollar's worth
and bring -it to my store, - and I will
give you a dollar for .it
The farmer pocketed the change,
'and departed. A few days after he
went into the same store, and bought
goods to the amount of one dollar and
after paying over the identical seventy.
- five cents, Im.took out a handful of
pumpkin seeds and counted aitt twen
ty five of them and, passed them over
to the merchant.—'Why, what's this
said the, merchant. 'Wel,' says the
farmer, 'this is my currency and when
jou get a dollar's worth bring it out
to my place and I will give you a dol

All the air, with Imbreathed peace

Battle Between two Snakes
As I was one day sitting in my ar
bor, my attention was engaged by. a
strange rustling_ noise at some paces
distant. I looked around, and beheld
two snakes of considerable length, the
one pursuing the other with great cel
erity. The aggressor was of the black
kind, six feet long-; -the fugitive was
a watersnake, nearly of ,equal-- dimen.
sions. They soon met, and in the fury
of their first encounter, they appeared
in an instant grimly twisted together ;
and while their -united tails beat the
ground, they tried with open jaws to
lacerate each other. Their heads were
compressed, their eyes flashed fire; and
after this.conflict.had•lastedmbotit-five
minutes,. the second found means to
disengage itseif, and hurried towards
the ditch. Its antagonist instantly as:
sumed a new posture; and half creep
ing, overtook and again attacked the
other, which phiced itself in the MIT
attitude, and prepared to resist. The_
scene was beautiful : thus opposed,
they fought with the utmost rage; • but
the Watorsnake Seemed desirous of re-,
treating towards the ditch, its natural
element. This was no sooner perceiv
ed by the keen-eyed black one, than
twisting its tail around a Elthlk of hemp,'
and seizing its adversary by tbe throat,
not by means of its jaws,
but twisting
its, own neck twice round that of the
watersnake, it pulled the latter back
-from the ditclL -To prevent a defeat,
the, watersuake took hold ; likewise of a
stalk on the bank, and by this acquis
=ition, became a match for his fierce op
pohent. Strange was it to behold two
great snakes, strongly adhering to the
ground, fastened together by means of
the writhings which lashed them, to
each other, and stretched at their full
length. They pulled; but pulled in
vain, and in the moments of the great : -
ent exertions, that part of their bodies
which was - entwined seemed extremely
small, while the rest appeared inflated).-
and now and then convulsed with
strong undulations rapidly 'following
each other. Their eyes seemed on fire,
and ready to start out of their heads.
At one time the conflict seemed decid
ed. The - Watersnake bent itself into
two gfeiit, fOlds, arid by that operatiou
rendered the other more than common
ly
outstretched. The next minute the
new struggles of the black one gained
an unexpected , superioiity; it acquired
two great folds like Wise, which neces
eerily extended the body of its own.
These efforts were alternate. Victory
seemed doubtful, inclining sometimes
to the one and again to the other, till at
last the stalk to which the black snake
was fastened, suddenly gave way, and
they both plunged into the ditch. The I
water did not extinguish their viudic
live rage, for by their agitations I
could trace, though not distinguish,
their mutual attacks. They soon re
appeared
bn the surface, twisted to
gether ns on their first onset; but the
black seemed to retain its wonted su
periority, for its head was exactly fixed
above that of the other, which it in- . ,
cessantly pressed down under the
water until it wits stifled and sunk. -

—Girls are awfully jealous -of each

distinctive fault. See them when they
are introduced, or when they Meet at
a ball or croquet party See how
coldly critical they look at each other;
how insolently - their eyes rove over
every portion of their "rival's Alress ;
rend in their faces the outspoken scorn
as the,result of their scrutiny : ' You
think you hav'e done it very-well, but
you'have made a fright of your Selves,,
aud . l em much better than you!"—
Watch their disdain of ~the more ad-•

How bold she is ! how over-dressed

they are deep, theywill overpraise her
enthusiastically ; but the ruse is gen

one, and simply counts for what, it is_
—a clever feint that don't answer. It
is quite a study to watch the way, in
which girls shako_ hands together, or

The Fashions
Gentlemen this spring will wear
overcoats with a wide rolling collar,
cut away to some extent, and about as
short as usual. • Vests will be mostly
single-breasted„ open low _enough to
admit a fair _view.of__ the shirt-bosom,
Pants ivill be snug in the leg as ever.
The new spring overcoat is something
between the regular overcoat and a

price is to be increased. Nothing like

,DRESSES.--It is stated in
some of our fashion-books, that short
dresses are to be all the rage, and they
are even to take the place of the long
trailing skirts in our ball rooms. What.
is timantby.sliurt.dresses,_we presume,
is the dress as worn at present on the
street, which we regard not only as the
neatest, most tasteful, and ladylike of
any introduced probably during the
past century. What is known, in the
fashionable world and in 'popular par
lance as street-sweepers, cannot be dis
pensed with too soon, as they are ab
solutely.ridiculous in, every senie, of
the word. But few persons, we ap
prehend, would desire to continue that
fitshioM.-- It is - expensive,irrconveThenr
and certainly not comfortable or hand
some. In crowded thoroughfares they
are all the time liable to be trod upon,
and -when the crossings are muddy
and the pavements damp and' unclean,
they require a certain amount of lift
, in;g which is both awkward and labo
rious. Besides this, the trailing of an
expenSive dress on hard ground or
bricks wean-. them out, soils their col
ors_ and destroys-the beauty and the.
fineness ortheir texture. Let the short,
Warlifing dress, be continued by all
means ; , the neatest, the most
tasteful and the most, becoming of all
- ,
others. —3
• Sown few years ago, a clever Young
Englishman, named Laurence Oliphant,
attained suddgn position in that cowl-,
try for diplomatic, literary, and Parlia
mentary cleverness. He obtained a
seat in Parliament, moved in the high;
est circles of society, and was a great
favorite in the fashionable world., He
was 'Once seen sauntering into, the
Traveler's Club with two men leaning
on his arms—one His Royal . Highness
the Prince of Wales, the Other His
Majesty the King of Denmark ! Such
a future as that which lay before this
handsome, fascinating young diplo
matist, says an English . paper, any. man
might have envied. Suddenly, how
ever, Laurence Qliphnnt was missed
from his place in society—from Club,
and "" House," and Opera. Where he
had gone none could tell. Even his
constituents at Stirling were.unable-to
get any accurate information-concern
ing him, and as he made no appearance
at the recent election. another man'was
chosen in his place. He has at last
been discovered, however, in a semi
religious, semi-socialistic community,

Erie, where the once Idolized star of
Belgravia now follows the plough and
wears the homespun.
THU: 11AND.—Arsene Housaye says
in his lateA essay on female beauty :
Irish girls have 'the most beautiful
hands. English girls have too fleshy
and plump hands. The hands of Am
erican girls are ton . long and'• narrow,
the fingers of German girls are too
short and , palms(too broad, Next to
the Irish girls, the daughters of Po
land dese,rves the ,palm, so, far as the
beauty of the hand is concerned. ,
The hands of French, Italian end
Spnuisli 'girls may be called indiffer
ent, though there are more Irautiful •
hands id Im• seen France and Italy
than in Spain. The Parisiennes be
stow a great deal of care on their,
hands. and the consequence is that su
perficial and' inexperienced observers
will believe that they have finer hands
than the women. of any other part of
France or any other country.
