The convict, wasted by a:fierce dis ease, raised' liilnself - to,a sitting posi. tion'in the bed, with' iijui h . labor, and rai t ding his withered' : . right arm with the other, dltitetifid it as if he would wring it from its socket. as a traitor. oas member of his body. "That arm did it," and' He glared vengefully upon it, and shook`it fierce ly "Did what "Did murder! Put me here to live a _buried-life for ten long-years. Oh! how long, they • have been. 1 have counted them hour after hour in my cell. How long can 1 Jive at the , most?' "Three hours—perhaps four." 'lot) long to live;but Sufficient time in which to tell my story. Ifyou be- Hetes kit will be more than judge or jury have don - e. Would you deceive_ when on your death bed? "my marriage to the girl I had long loved, and who loVed'me With a love exceeding my most sanguine hopes, is : the point, so far as regards the nice applicability- of „the past events to the present certainties, at which my. narrative commences. Dating from the day of :that marriage, there .be. gins a succession of misiortunes, that insignificant at their birth, were grad ually moulded together by extrane ous contingencies until they culmina ted in an an of foul and terrible, if meditated o r intended, that made a branded felon. "My wife and 1 never quarreled.— We loved and ,revered each other too much to trespass or trample, upon. what the other considered sacred.— To be sure, in mere levity and- exul tation of spirits we perforined ,acts that, to persons unacquainted with us and our circumstances, might-seem seasoned with earnestness. To such mitunderstandings, by_a'third person, may be attributed the origin of re ports.that we, my wife and I, lived an unhappy life—a. life -Of turmoil—of blows. Many around us held to such an opinion, but fro - m Mere ignorance of the nature of our lives. "But, I, descending rapidly to the grave, do declare that we 'never, by word, ordeed, transcended thohounds of our great love for eaeh other; or transgressed those ,laws that should preserve the person of the. wife from blow or contumely. It it were possi ble to exist without jarring discord to turn the sweetest sympathies into bitter hatred, ours was that existence. Yet it availed me notin the dark day that came upon my household; but rather offered opportunities by which to strengthen an apparent guiltiness. "Jessie," said. to my wife, one evening, do you stand ,on one side of the room, while I take a position on the other. Give me a bail 'of yarn &Oro the basket, and . then whosoever is hit with the ball the greatest' num ber of :tirties,, shall make a present to .the other. A nice present, of course. "If I lose, my present shall . be- a dressing gown," said Jessie; "but you know you'll have to pay for it." "It will be just as acceptable," I answered. : "But if I lab, you have that ring with the emerald and pearls." Then the loft ball of yarn flew quickly from hand to hand, we all the time, laughing and talking with great glee. A knock at the door and an acquaintance.entered,,finding our faces all flushed with the excitement of the contest, • and each uncertain who was :.the vanquished. I declared that she won-the ring, and -promised to put it upon her anger the next day; which day to her aliVe, never came. About two o'clock that night Iwas awakened to consciousness , by one of those inexplicable preternatural pre- monitions of near danger,- which are often encountered, but generally in a skeptical spirit. My mind was clear- to.reason—not having its delicate powers blunted by sleep. Scarcely were my eyes en closed before I came cognizant of the presence of a cold, clammy nature, by its loathsome -contact with my face, and by its presence union my be-, awn, whereby it nearly stilled the beating of my heart. Naturally, I am no coward ; but the knowledge of the presence of this burden, combin ed with utter darkness, creator of fierce fear, completely unnerved me, and my body shOok like an aspen leaf. The quiet condition of this body, which appertained not to myself, or my wife—its mysterious situation— and above all—the moist, chilly con tact with my face, deprived me for an instant of self possession. The clattering of a blind, or the nibbling of a mouse, seemed like a peal of thunder to my ears; the overstrained eye' saw or seemed to see, ghostly shapes pendent from the chandalier or bed post. I dared not shout aloud norchange 'my position in bed for fear that my throat would be clutched by the in cubus that sat like a hideous night mare fully developed into a reality upon my chest. I experienced such sensations as does the strong swimmer or the ven turous diver, when coming in bodily contact; unforewarned, with a corpse "beneath the surface of- the water— when-nature acts like an electric bat tery, and discharges volumes of fear at the slightest movement; or like one in the dark, who encounters a skeleton. I waspeculiarly situated;_surround ed by an immensity of terror; expan. oioB in/awn:inch as.. it thoughts ',a n d T nop'omt:ln habiliment that gave them a gigantic appearance; immers ed into the sea of dread and doubt, and .finally completely cowed by fear. Now reason made its appeal to the frightened soul. The mere comae:inns. ness of bodily contact with, his suggesteti; its Substitin Oaf i ty, 'hut I hesitated to Inakt•tlie'firet move . anent, hostile" - Oti otherwise: There was a lialf-fornied supposition in -my' mind, that. if. I. stirred. there would comp upon me. Mr oneet by, the incu bns that . I could not "withhold ; this hesitancy to action I partly Overcame by"the"circutrispeet, rising of my left. 'arm—it was free. I moved my right instantly, and .eotemporaneously,with that movement - the.weight -upon thy face was removed to my neck. little more stealthy infeatigatiOr, still fearful of an attack , by, an. insidious enemy, and I found that my right hand and arin as tar as the,elbew was temporarilv'paralized i .Or in that con- . dition called, %sleep ;", that:the hand. was cold andivithout sensibility, and, it wits tbat'objetrViattd. reStedo l upon my,face.- .. • , , Of course I was much elated at the discovery, -.and ashamed . that . I had been so. easily - alarmed at, art accident that was susceptible Of-so easy an-ex planation. In= order. togitte my Wife an account of the abstird occurrence, I' turned-aver; my present- position being a reclination upon my In tnyrelief,•consequent upori what rconsidered & correcto-explanation of my fright, the weight upon my-chest hadbeen forgotten ;, now, the 'change of my position recalled it -very -un pleasantly and inopportunely; even before I hail ioub4ed my wife. Imagine, if you can, the result of this audden 'knowledge that my op. presser had not bedn explained away. Think how quickly- all `the reasons which had been carefully revolved froin the mental perplexities in which I had been 'entangled; were effectually con trOverted, and holm absolutelyinys tory and fanatic horror again swayed the sceptre. - - . - There Wfis - then, aiieing or thing in the moth ;hat did not belongthere, -never had been there previous to that' niaht and My deduction&were faulty. The result was that I lost all control over my passione—that I was laShed into-a - fury-of despair, by the fear, of the presence of a supernatural being. Clasping the object upon any breast l i with my left hand, with my right nerved with terror knowing no re straint, and numb, to all eensation of pain by reason of its paralysisi.stritek heavy, treacherous blows... It had soft hair, and at thiS I pulled and tugged, in this paroxysm of horror, in - my great agony of mind I shrieked for aid—notwithstanding my efforts en countered no resistance.—and called Jessie to awaken. There was no re-- sponse. The passive Submission to blows of the :object grasped in my left hand, was extraordinary—the si ienceof my -wife unaccountable._ Then for the first time during . the struggle did I„ thinkof Jessie's re markable sound slumber, and con nected with the burden, I could .not, separate the identity of. - my wife from that of the object 'of my vengeance. Pushing the weight `aside, I leaped from the bed and lighted the gas. My wife was dead, ~ It was her head,--that I had, so of ten fondled ; playing with its silken tresses—kissing them dear lips—look ing into those lustrous eyes—that - had so confidently reposed upon-my-breast Yet not more than five minutes had elapsed since. my awakening. I cannot believe that 1 am her mur derer, even, though -the law so seals me with the crime: But the arm, now so shrivelled and withered into its present form, came not so by a punishment from heaven. After my condemnation, doubting as did -my agency in her death, yet hatingthe instrument that had known no pity or gentleness in its blows, held it, that arm, as a sacrifiee_to my dead wife, in the fire, until the flames sapped its life, blackened its beauty, and burned out of it all the setnblance of hitman form. These are the reasons why I. bate it, and have hated it since that night. I am thankful that my stay upon earth is so diminished. 'When you have lived a ,life of solitude such as mine, with a doubt such as mine for an invisible companion, you too would gladly seek its conclusion. * * * * * * * The convict died that night. The prison warden confirming the truth of the convict's narrative, adding that the marks of blows upon the body of his wife--=the absence of all cause to create sudden death—and the 'unfa vorable testimony of many of the witnesses who had interrupted their amusement, the evening previous to his wife's deceasti, were formidable arguments-against the innocence of the convict. If the convict's story was true, and I had no reason to believe it was false, it was certainly an instance of remarkable complicity of circumstan ces sufficient to embarrass both Judge and Jury. It was doubtles case of unintentional murder, committed by the convict in a state of frenzy--o-rig mated and finished under the Infra once of a superstitious mind, too ea lily excited by such a situation as - that in which be had been placed. THE FLUTTER FAMILY. Mrs. Flutter was at Church last Sunday. She always is at Church; and she never forgets her fan. 1 have known her for many years, and have never known her to be in church with out a fan in her band, and rime arti cle upon her 'person that rustled con stantly. Her black silk dress is death to devotion over the space of twenty feet on all sides of bar. She fixes the wires in the bonnets of her little girls, then takes their hats off entirely, then wipes their noses,then shakes her head at there, then makes them exchange seats With each other, then finds the text and the. hymns for' them, then fusses with the cricket, and then fang herself unremittingly until she can see Something else to do. During all thid time, and, throughout all these exercises, .0(a:only article of dress on the fidgety person that has 'Tales in it, rustles.

They o'6 not all as restless as Madame, butAti6 cliviic teristice; of the . blood are manifested among them all. They „never know repose, and what is worse than this they dread if•tiot despise it. They are immense Workers-nOt'that they do More and work harder than their neighbors, but they make a greatfuss about:it, and are always at it. They rise early in the morning, and they sit - up late at night.; and they do this - from year's end to year!s end, wheth er they have.anythiog to do or not. They cannot sit still. They have an unhealthy impression that itiS wrong for then) not to be "doing something" all the time. Nothing in the world will make them,so uncomfortable and so restless as -leisure. Mrs. Flutter could no more sit down without knit ting work, or u suck to darn, in her hand, than she could fly. As she has; many times remarked, she would die if she could not , work.

The craving- of a smoker 'for his pipe or'ciger, the incessant han kering of the opium eater for his drum the-terrible .thirst Of-the :drunk ard for his caps--a.ll , these are legiti mate ilitistrations - of , the morbid de sire ofthe Flutters for action and me, tion. The -man-who has the.babit of using - .narcotics is' not-,more.restless and , on happy_ without his--accustomed stimulus than they are with. nothing to do.Y In truth, °I believe' the desire for action may lbecom e just:as morbid a paasion of - the soul as that which most degradeis and deniortilizes man kind. " • • . NOT A HAPPY WOMAN Mrs. Flutter is dot a . bappy woman; and as I have intimated before, she seriously: interferes with the happi ness and the spiritual - prosperity of those - about her. When she can find nothing to do then- she, worries.— Those children of her's.'are worried to death. If, in their play they get any dirt on their faces,_they are im mediately sent to • make themselves cream. If they soil their clothes they are shut up until -reduced to a proper state of penitence. , They. are kept out Of all draughts of air for fear of a cold; and . if they should take cold, why, - they must take medicine of the ino,-t; repulsive character as a penalty. If they cough out of the wrong cor ner of7their mouths, she suspects them of croupy intentions; .. andlt they-ven ture-at some unguarded _moment, on a cutaneous eruption, they are i rnnie diately charged with. the measles, or accused with the small-pox.. if they 'quietly sit down for a moment of re pose she apprehends. sickness, and stirs them about in order to shake it off. Even -sleep is not sacred to her, for, if she finds a flushed face among the harassed -little slumberers, she wakes. its owner to make.affectionate inquiries. Her =husband, as Istated died two - -years ago. She worked up on his nervous system to such an ex tent that-be was glad to be rid of the world and her. I think a man would , die 'after -a while,- with constantly r .looking at the motion of a saw mill. The jar of a locomotive makes the toughest iron-brittle at last.; and the wear:and tear of a. . reckless wife is beyond the strongest maul's end uranee. AN INCIDENT IN MR. DOUGLAS' COURT •EXPERIENCE.
