When homeward it is laid ; Or watch will keep, o'er tiroes deep, If there a grave bo made ! O human love, eo tried, so true.

It was but the Monday previous, at Mrs. Moore's, that George Berkley, after dancing with rue twice in i-ti.ie.-.-sioii, had asked Lie if he mlht have tho plea-tiro of escorting tae to tho Uieatro the next evening. 1 should l very happy." But in stead of wading oiT with hint ta all the glory of my s-pring cttlro, I was obliged to tell 1:1m. when lie called for mc, look ing so h:::!d-ome, too : I regret it extremely, but papa wishes m t wait a year r two yet befont I.go out v. ith gentlemen.; be thinks me rather ttx young." I dare say my papa's con-; eier.ee mu?t hrtve-tnotu him, or else :uy tloleful looks troui.ioii l.im, for as wu xvero lini-rihiug de.--.eit, ,t said : Annie, if you would like to go to tho thoatro tis-idght, run upcta:r-i and get ready. I will take you." " After all," aid "l. as I mounted tho stairs. "I cau wear my beautiful bonnet; nn.i perhaps ho may be there who knows?" Ere another hour I was absorbed In the misery of poor Eflie 1). aris. I turned uiy head to wipe away the starting tear, when 1 ! but a little dielaiieu from rue. sat George Berkley, with that odious Marion Kayuioiid! My tear- remained frozen to my eye lids, and the woes ol Jennie and Eflio vani-iie i .ii thin air. Wlienloe i lay was over, I rof e with the iuv.u.-ii.Ie determination to adjure h;s ac(ji:uiiit:ince tit once and for ever. A for her detestable creature! The tears so Miude.d my eyes, I could scarce ly follow papa through the crowd. He dropped my arm a moment to find tho carri:e, and I stood chilly and cold in the damp l ight air, till I heard his ifiipatii-:.t tone ; t'ome, Annie, n:;i.;fe!"- I dartc 1 f rward. sprang through tho p ti door, which closed rapidly, aud away we wHi led. Leaning back among tho cushions. I Jet my pride u ml grief have full sway. There wa-. a .-ufT .p:iti::u serj-ati-.m in my throat that eaut-ed me to lower the window ly my side, when a gruff voice exclaimed : " Good heavens, Maria ! what do you want any more cold air In here for? I am nearly frozen now !" Merciful heavens ! who was that? Where was I? Surely that was not papa's voice. At this moment a ray from a passing gaslight shone upon the opposite seat, and to my horror and dismay, instead of the gray hair and placid" brow of papa, wa.-, a ma-s of very Mack hair, a heavy rn.usta.-he, a keen bl-i.-k eve, and a nio-t f..rr..bi iMe Countenance. I wa-ji;-t ai mute-saying one des'l-erata shriek -Papa! papa ! '" wheu my ami able rui-u-.-, s;.ke again : ' Maria, w hat makes you so sulkv? I ho-e, the net time you go to the theatre, you'll g with one of your beaux Elridge, for instance. You'd be sweet cnouuh for him. I dare say. Maria, are you asleep.-" I held my breath In agon v. Who could he 1 ? lle"st:rcly could not have murdtTol pupa u:.d stolen his carriage.

I tried to tpeak, but could only stam mer forth : ' I. indeed, sir I I could not help It. It was a a mistake !" and burst into a violent Hood of tears. In the name of Niole!" said he, ad vancing, "who are you? Don't be so agitated. niis, but please to explain t what I am Indebted for this unparalleled honor." But I could not explain, for my sobs were bursting forth with redoubled vigor. " I entreat you to bo composed," his tone softening considerably; there is no occasion for such distress. If you are iu trouble, mUs, and 1 can relieve you, I shall be happy to do so." ' Indeed, sir," said I, striving to re gain my self-posseffslon, ' I am very sorry, but I mistook your carriage for my father's, and did not perceive It till I neard you speak; and then I was so frightened." And hero I cried again. To r little thing!" ejaculated he In an undertone; then aloud: "Don't feel so badly; it is only a little blun der that can easily bo rectified In the morning. " Oh." said I eagerly, "then yon be lieve mo, and don't think me an Im postor?" Ho threw back his head and laughed, while the white teeth gleamed under his moustache; then said gravely : "I don't think you look like an Im postor; although let me see. are you sure vou don't want the spoons?" " Sir," I returued with much dignity, " my father's namo is Morton. We live In " " Excuse me, Miss Morton, for my presumption ; and now, if you will allow me to suggest, my sister's room is un occupied, and I think you had better re.-t there till morning. If you wish, I will call my mother to attend you." "No no! I beg you will not I would rather stay here; and as soon as day dawns, I will return home, for I know papa will be almost crazy about me." "And," sail he musingly, " if I wake mother, I suppose she will be almost crazy about Maria; although I ap prehend the has made the same mis take us yourself, for I saw her turn from her friends th" moment before yuu entered the carriage. 1 am afraid papas and brothers Joti t make very gal lant escorts, else this awkward alfair would not have happened." " Indeed !" exclaimil I, rather piqued, " papa left me but an Instant to find the carriage, and then called me, but I sup pose the rain and darkness blinded me." " And," returned ho, " Maria stopped a moment to speak to some friends, and I, being a little out of patience, sprang in ahead of her; but I am very negligent. Allow me to present you to Mr. Graham Thornton." Here he made a low bow. As 1 bowel in reply, I looked keenly at him, and found that my first Impres sions were erroneous. He was hand some very handsome, and posses-ed that calm 'dignity and quiet manliness that always lit a true gentleman like a gaiment. Very dim-rent, thought I, from the bahyi-h iia.mby-paml.yism of that odiou.-, George Berkley. He had been set utilising me as closely as I him. and now sttid : You look rather pale. Miss Morton, and I icfer you don't feel any the better for your night's adventure." Without waiting a reply ho strode down tho hall. Presently he returned, bearing a silver waiter, laden with cake and wine. During our repast he asked my opin ion of his. conduct in the carriage, and said he had been annoyed at the theatre that evening. I could not but smile to think how nearly our feelings were allied. Scarcely had we finished when through the deadened sound of the rain. I heard a carriage driven at a furious rate. "Oh, It's father!" iaid I, springing up. As Mr. Thornton quickly unbarred the doors, in w alked papa, accompanied by a young lady. "My darliie !" cried he, " how could you run uwuy from obi papa?"

Annie dear, how do you feci now?' For an answer. I was gr.-eted with the most terrific shriek 1 ever heard, and the made frantic attempts to open the door." Here our loud and continued laughter wakened the sleeping Inmates, aud a voice inquired : " What is all this funs about?" "Oh, mother!" said Mr. Thornton do come down ! I have something rich to tell you; and call father, too!" Papa, interposed and said we had tres passed on their hospitality already too long. So we withdrew, but not before our cards were given, and promises made of future friendship. As Maria and I exchanged a kiss, I noticed that we were nearly the saine height and size, and dressed In almost the same manner. I will le generous and confess she is a little hit prettier than I. One pleasant evening, not long since, I sat in the dim moonlight, listening to low-breathed words from my lover, Mr. Thorton, whn the aim quiet was dis turbed by a violent rintr at the bvli. 81. 60 and We both listened intently, and I heard the tones of George Berkley Inquiring of the servant if Miss Morton way at home.

Wicliffe, now United Mates Attorn'-y here, then Circuit Judge. Th trial was in t e court foil e at Burr 'burg. T. Tho i.pson was t.rosecuti.'g atto-tiev, and Phil Thomp-i.n Sr. and Colonel Thomas C. Bell, now a-slstant I'nited St-ites At torney here, appeared fcr the d dense. Ed. Butts was circuit clerk. Collins had b on a 6o4uV-r in the Fed eral Army, whilj every man on the jury, tho prosecuting a.torney, circuit clerk and the judge himself had fought for the Confederacy. The witnesses were brought forward and a plain case of theft was made out against Collins. Tho only dependence of the defense was the testimony of Col lins's daughter, Iiose, who was to prove an alibi. She was a beautiful woman, with a well rounded flgur... deep black eves a complexion in which the hues of health sat boauteously enthroned, and black hair that swept unconfiued almost to tho floor in long waves. She was made to tell her 6tory for all it was worth, and Colonel Bell made a touching plea, appealing to the sym pathies of the jury for a beautiful woman in distress with ail tho power of lan guage he could summon.

In the midst of a glowing sentence, how ever, he found the ju-y yawning, looking out of the window and wholly Inatten tive. Breaking off his pathos, the old lawyer leaned back on the table a moment, eyed the jury quizzically with a humorous twinkle in his eye, and said : "Look here, gentlemen, this stealing was dono during the war. and you can t do anything with a man for that. You, Tom MaudyL" he contiuued, turning and pointing to the foreman of the jury a snapping big Kuutuckion; "don't yovi remember that sheep you stole in Pow ell s alley ? You cau t convict Ed. Col lins."' There was a general waking up ot the jury, and a smile went round. "Aud you. Dan Bond; you know that horse you stole from Lord Alexander in the spring of ls02? You can't send a man to prison for stealing cattle." The smile bro:e into an open guffaw in one or two places, and half a dozen men on the baci seats stood up. As the old mau took up the jury one by one and recalled his shortcomings tho laugator became general and con tinuous. Finally he said : "And there's my Pnll. Wasn't he one of Morgan s worst horse thieves' Wl at cau he say against Collins? And you Ed Butts; you remember that raid on 'that olu Yankee sympathizer In East Tenne t:e?
