Address to an Au^lo-Savon Jury
In closing his address in behalf of Dr.
Bornard, tried at Eondon for conspirino
- Picrri, Mr. Edwin James made the
Court-room ring with these thrilling spn
ter.ces:
(jviulemen, ! have done. I have dis
charged my duty' towards the unhappy
gentleman at the bar 'to -the best of my
ability, J have discharged it as an En
glish advocate, I believe,' ought to have
discharged it—fearlessly and conscien
tiously. Let me urge you to discharge
yours also fearlessly, firmly and conscien
tiously, You will have the case left in
your hands, after an able reply from the
Attoruey-General, by one who will hold
the scales with an even and impartial hand.
X implore you to let the verdict ho-your
uninfluenced by the ridiculous fears
of 1? rench armaments or French invasions,
suchus Trere raised in Peltier’s case. You,
gpnUeumn, wiU uot be intimidated by for
eigu dictation to - consign the Accused to
tj l ®'Scaffold j you will not prevent and wrest
the law of England to jdeasp a foreign dic-
No. - Teil thp prosecutor in this
case the jury box is the sanctuary of
English liberty.: TeU him that on this
spot your predecessors hfive resisted the
arbitrary power of the Crown, backed byi
toe influence of crowh-sdrving and time-’
Tell him that undei every
difficulty and danger your predecessors
fovve secured the political liberties of the
people. Tell him that the verdicts of En
glish Junes are.founded on £ho eternal aud
immutable principles of justice. Tell him
riiat, panoplied in that armor, no threat of
armament or invasion can awe you. Tell
lim; that though 600,000 French hayondts
riittor before you, though the roar of
French cannon thundered in your pars,
?ou will return a verdict which your own;
ircasts and conscienoes will sanctify and
approve, careless whether that verdict
jlcascs or displeases a foreign despot or
i lecures or shakes and destroys forever the
uhronc which a tyrant has built upon the
ruins of the liberty pf a once free and
mighty people.
Applause broke out in the Court, and
it was some time before quiet could be
restored. •
A contemporary says: “There is

.. •5 1 ® r ® OX6 two of girls ; one is the
Kind that appears best abroad/ the girls
for parties, rides, visits,
baite, and whose chief delight is in
such thifags; the other is the kind that
appears best at home, the girls that are
uselnr ip the, dining room, the sick room,
and aU the precincts of home. They dif
ter widely in character. One is often a
torment at home; the other is a blessing.
One is | moth, consuming everything
aboutber, the other, is a sunbeam inspi
nng life ; and gladness all along her path
way. j; r
Nojv tydoes not necessarily follow t.W.
there sip be two classes of girls.' The
nrfit education will modify both a little,
and unite their characters in one. Girls
are not ,*uadc altogether *for home, any
more than Doys are. Society would be of
but little worth without girls, without
women. The first pleasure and duty of
every woman should be home j her next
should relate to the refinement and well
being of society. But in order that she
may know how to benefit and adorn socie
ty, she must know how to benefit and
adorn home. Hence all girls, rich and
poor alike, should be early Instructed in
ml ithe dirties and cares of home. From
the cellar to the garret, she should know
all that is to be done. From the kitch
en to the parlor she should be complete
mistress.' All the interests of home should
be familiar to her as household words.
Neither idleness, folly or .indifference
should prevent her from engaging in all
the concerns of home life. This will be
te her a school more valuable than the
seminary pr the ladies’ college.
It behooves mothers therefore to feel
that thpy. ure teachers of the first dignity
in position. Their daughters? wiu be
much what they make them. The home
education will lay the true foundation of
character.. It the true principles
life in the young girl’s mind. .It will
give her an insight into domestic duties
and teach her that to be useful is one
great end in life. Book education can
easily follow a good home training j but
good homo training is not apt to follow
the education of the schools. Girls well
taught at home are the girls that appear
wel|everywhere. Give us the well read
girl* and we shall have no need of any
other. They will make the true woman

T Heard a good story the other day.—
Not exactly local, but eminently natidhal,
as it involves a famous politician and an
ex-President, who liate each other tremen
dously. Tiro or three yeafts ago the Rail
road routes, between Albany and Buffalo
were consolidated, you remember, under
the title Of ;Ncw Central, Thuriow Weed
of the Albany Evening Journal, engineer
,ing the matter through the Legislature,
and for this service was to j-eceivo the
handsome siim of £B,OOO, of which Eras
tus Corning, was to furnish 54.000 and
Dean Richmond $4,000.
The plan succeeded, and the money was
paid over. But as Mr. Weed did not
think it wouldrlpok well to have the stock
stand in hisi' own name, he had it made
over to an Old and particular friend of his,
Mr. Mclntosh, who had made money as a
railroad- contractor- r It was understood
between parties that Mclntosh was to
bold the stock, and then quietly n^l- P it
oyer to Weed. But unluckily, Mclntosh
died suddenly one fipeday, and forgot to
leave a.win. So the administrators, in
making up the account of the assets, stum
bled upon the certificates for this $B,OOO,
and put them down to Mclntosh’s credit,
su K ) 9 sin ?> 9f course, they were his.
" *bc debte were paid and a handsome
balance was left for the widow, the attrac
tive Mrs. Mlolritosh, who wpa married a
few weeks |ago to JITr. ex-President Fill-
More! Thuriow’s eight thousand dollars
went with the widow, into the arms of the
man whom. Thuriow hates, probably, as.
badly as ope man can hate another. For
a politico scandalous yarn it is not bad,
and makers fun.—Cor. of the' PMada.

The following sagacious predictions are
made for the year 1858:
Through thi 5 whole course of this year
When the moon wanes, the night will grow
dark.
On , several occasions during the year
the sun mil rh e before certain people dis
cover it, and sot before they have finished
their day’s work.
It is quite likely that when there is no
business doing, many will be heard to
complain of hard times, but it is equally
certain that all who hang themselves will
escape starvation.
If bustles anji hoops go out of fashion,
a church pew jwill hold more than three
ladies.
There will be many eclipses* of virtue,
some visible, others invisible.
Many delicate ladies, whom no one
would suspect, jwill be kissed without tel
ling the mama’s.
If the incumbent of a fat office dies,
there will be ai dozen feet ready to step
into one pair of shoes.
will pe more books pnblishe(
than will find pjayefs.
If a young la|dy should happen to blush,
she will be apt to get red in the face with
out the use of paint ; if she dreams of a
young man three nights in succession, it
will be a sign of something; if she dreams
of him four timjcs, or has a toothache, it
is ten to one she will be a long time get
ting either out pf her head.
Dinnerr and entertainments will be
given to those who have plenty to eat at
home, and the poor will receive much ad
vice gratis, legal and medical excepted.
He who marries this year will run a
great risk, especially if he does it in a
great hurry. ~
He who steals n watch gives tattlers oc
casion to gossipj and will be apt to involve
himself and pride in disagreeable relations.
Many young j ladies who tope for it,
but little expect 1 dt, will be married; and
many confidentially anticipating the glori
ous consummation will be doomed to wait'
another year.
Finally, there; exists but little doubt
that this will bp a most wonderful year,
surpassing in interest all that have pre
ceded it.
Extraordinary Births.—lt is sta
ted by Burdock Ithat the wife of a country
man in the Mqiscow district hud given
birth to 69 children at 27 confinements—
four times four at one birth, , seven times
three, and sixteen times twins. In the
year 1809, the Vienna newspapers con
tained the following announcement
. Maria Ann Helen, the wife of a poor
linen weaver in Neulerehenfeld, 20 years
married, bore at. eleven confinements, 32
children—2B living and 4 dead j 27 were
males and G females; all were begotten by
one man, and nursed by herself. She had
at her last confinement threechildren, one
living and two dead.' Her husband was
a twin, she herself one offour. Her moth
er had produced 38 children* and died du
ring a confinement with twins. The great
est number of children ever produced at
one birth appears to have been six all of
whom were boys and all dead. The wom
an who gave birth to them had been thrice
married, and had already given birth to
44 children; during her first marriage
which lasted twenty-two years, she bore 27
joys and 3 girls; in her second marriage,
which lasted but three years, she bore 14
children—3 at the first, 5 at the second
and 6 the third confinement.

Reminiscences of College Lift.
CHAPTER IL
■ Sopxe students at College would some
times commit acts infertile, for which
they would be suspended or
expelled, according to the nature of the
offence. There was an individual there
by the name of Harry Noble, yho was an
obstinate, independent student. He iVas
very fond of a jokei particularly if it could
be perpetrated at the expense of another, i
He had often made the Faculty the sub
ject of his tricks. Not only would he play
tricks of various kinds, but very frequent
ly he would bo found absent from his room
during the hours appointed for, study and!
also absent after night widiout permission.
The President often reprimanded him tor
such acts Of disobedience j the professor
faulted him for neglect of his studies; his
fellow-students admonished him; but he
was deaf to the gentle admonitions of the
professors and the kind advice of his class
mates and others, still pursuing his course
of. insubordination - and maintaining his
obstinacy. The Faculty, finding that all
their efforts to prevent him from violating
the laws of the institution were fruitless,
concluded to suspend hipa from the insti
tution for three weeks, thinking that he
then would become .penitent and conduct
himself properly when he would again be
allowed the privileges of a regular student.
Those three weeks of suspension Vr§re
spent by him in town among his "lady
friends,” as he expressed; it. fie said he
had a “ high old time” 'there in the en
joyment of the ladies’ society. At the
expiration of the three weeks he returned
to College and claimed admission info hia
class again. After promising to do bet
ter in the future, he was received.. Noth
ing was done by bim to direct particular
attention to his actions' until the night
before Christmas, when ho performed an
act of fool-hardiness that would not have
been attempted by any other-one among
us.
The individual upon whom Harry in
tended to play the trickj was the Doctor,
(for so we called the President D. D.).—-
He was a man of a robust frame, with un
eayen features, a prominent hooked-nose
and an eagle eye. His countenance gen
erally wore a cross, sulleb; look; his lips
were thin and he was pas
sionate and at times impetuous; he was
unflinchingly firm and not easily frighten
ed. Hence mischief-makers feared him
exceedingly, for wo unto them if he caught
them in the act of committing a depreda
tion 1 _ Notwithstanding these prominent
traits in the Doctor’s character which were
clearly visible, he possessed others which
were not so apparent. He appeared to be
remarkably tender-hearted. He would
weep over acts that he v jiad done in the
heat of passion or on of the mo
ment. Sometimes while reprimanding a
j student for some transgression and while
his eye was lit up with tye fire of anger
and apparent vindictiveness depicted upon
his countenance, his features would imme
diately assume a different expression and
he would plead with him as teara'stoie I
down bis* furiowed cheeks. I wifl no\j
return to Harry Noble’s adventuire-the
night before Christmas. He oame to my
room that evening and me for some
rigging of disguise, as he to ff cel
ebrate the night .before Christmas. 1 ’ I
had nothing that would please him but a
sheeb which he threw over his shoulders)
and lie then went to some of the other
rooms and procured more f* fixings ” to
gether with a- mask of uprightly deformi
ty and ngliness. After onuying himself
in a moßt ridiculous he visited
several-houses in the neighborhood, and
after frightening their inmates and caus
ing a general squalling among the chil
dren, he teturaoi to College boasting of
his succete abdekfo* with the idea of do
ing a dariug deed.
He said tome; “ Now feme up right,
and I will gointo the Doctor’s study and
scare him out, of his wits.” “Scare the
Doctor I’’ exclaimed l; ff you’ll find your
match there; besides, if he catches you,
WO to poo* Harpy Noble }’f He said that
be had neVer yet frightened him, and he
would like to see bow the "old chap”
lopked whenfee was badly scared. I ar
ranged his odd dress and wished him a
safe retura as he started for the Doctor’s
study.
tcW moments' after, I heard a great
noise in the passage as if some persons
were rnnnjng for their lives. I rushed
out to see if possible the excitement, but
only get a glimpse of Harry as he fled past
me, hotly pursued by a person whom I
thought looked like the Doctor. Helter
skeltor they ran down the steps, along the
passage and out at the door, when Harry,
shielded by the darkness of the night,
succeeded in getting away from his ear
nest pursuer, hut not until ;ho had lost in
his flight most of his dress. ;
After the noise had ceased and the
crowd which assembled had dispersed, I
w
ent to my room and there sat Harry No
ble divested of his accoutrements blowing
and puffing like a steam engine. I inqui
red how he made so fortunate an escape.
Wiping the perspiration from his heat
ed bbw, a cool night as it was, and en-,
EDITOKS AND proprietors
deavoring to suppress his emotions, of
; fright, he related his adventure in the fol
lowing language: “ I Went to the Doctor’s
door and rapped; he told me to * come
iny I opened the door and, leaving it
ajar, stepped in about six feet and began
to address him in « Very threatening man*
ner and to enforce my threats by very em
phatic gestures; X saw him spring from
his ohair .’’“Did he springyrom you?”
I eagerly inquired. “No sir,” ho resum*
ed, “he jumped directly for me as 1
turned to run. I thought I felt his pow*
erftd gripe upon as I did so. In attempt
ing to get out at the door, and when al
most withiu his grasp, the sheet caught
upon the door-latch and I thought my
days of grace wore surely ended; hut I
gave the sheet one powerful jerk as a feel
ing of despair came over me, I leaped forth,
and although afterwards olossly pursued,
now lam ftee.” J‘ See there, how I have
torn your sheet 1” I looked and found it
almost.torn intwain. “Well, did you
succeed in scaring him,” I inquired.—
Why, if I didn’t exactly *carc him,”
said tiarty, “X made him run like blazes;”
' It was even so, but he was the pursuer,
not the pursued, and Harry found out that
t yres not an eaigr matter to frighten the
Doctor. •; v '
