TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS,
BEAU HACKETT AS AN AMATEUR SKATER,
[From the Chicago post,'
My ph`ysibiti ecltidatioif 'hits been
sadly neglected. When I was a boy
I had 'some , experience In climbing

ments; and the surgeo•muscular op•
eration of taking a loot off my deli
cate figure when I was already as
short as a boy of my ago had any
right to be, caused me in later years
to avoid studiously any physical ex•
ertion that was not absolutely ne
cessary to my health and well be
ing.
Therefore,
Skating is a new thing tome. I
never studied the art in my boyhood's
sunny years, and I never practiced
it ; but I am prepared to assert from
actual observation and experiments,
by the subscribers, that skating is a
humbug, and skating-parks aro a dia
bolical invention that. could have be
longed to no other ago than the one
in which we live.
I rejoice in the acquaintance of
several young ladies who skate.—
They commenced as early as the last
Fourth of July to persuade me to
learn the glorious art ; and they have
prosecuted their endeavors unceasing
ly ever since. As the cold weather
advanced, I-became a little alarmed,
and tried to convince them that it
would be to their advantage to repu
diate my friendship ; but they insist
ed that I Was an exceedingly proper
young man, and cultivated me more
intimately than ever.. . I
began to
think that sum Mer ail the year would
be agreeable, notwithstanding philos
ophers have contended that if such
wore the case we would not know
how to appreciate it. The first morn•
ing that I found ice in my pitcher I
came near fainting; and when I saw
an advertisement in the papers of
skates for sale, it absolutely made inc
sick. I was not troubled, however„
until Christmas day. I had made all
the neCeSSary arrange Merl is to spend
that ancient an n iv ersaryin , quietand.
was wending my way homeward very
peaceably-•in the afternoon, when I
was' attacked by a bevy of my skating
female friends with their arms full of
skates. Flight was impossible. I
had to face the music. I resorted to
strategy in the first place, but it was
a failure. I told thorn I had no skates.
They offered 'to present me a pair.
My gallantry was challenged and I
could say no more on that head, but
I begged them to go with me some
where and let me practice a little on
saw dust before I appeared in public
on the ice; they refused. I told them
if they would go home with me-I,
would have my back yard flooded,
and we would skate there till dooms
day ; but they bad the skating park
fever and all of my propositions were
powerless. Finally 1 become charita
ble, squandered the price of a pair of
skates, and accompanied the impor
tuning bevy to a skating park.
The first thing I did on entering
the park was to laugh. I laughed
vociferously (one of the young ladies
said it was vociferously) to-see how
stupid I had `been. Anybody could
skate ; I knew it as soon as I,saw it.
Why, it was just as easy t 1 Bpuro
ed my tutors; I would have no die
taLresses with pettieoats; :old lhein.to
stand aside; I could paddle my own
canoe, and so forth. They stood a
side; I paddled. I buckled on my
skates and stood upright, with -hope
springing eternal in my human
breast, and struck, out boldly. : In
less than cne tenth of a SeConil after
wards I struck in boldly, head fore
most. I don't think I tell ; but I be.
lieve that. an acrobat, with a million
triumphs in his favorite art cluster
ing about his person, could not have
performed the feat that I performed,
and I believe that an experienced
phrenologist could have examined the
impression that my head made in the
ice and drawn therefore a very mica--
rate map of my intellect. I was sat
isfied, and told my crinoline keepers
t,hat if they would crown me with
laurels. I; would leave as soon as the
gatekeepers would let me. They
were not so impetuous as myself, arid
contended that I should slay a
while.
One precious - little creature, with
Satan in her eye, ,took me by the
arm, and said I had nothing to fear;
she would give me a lesson and make
a skater of me. She would teach We
the whole art in a remarkably short
space of time ; she would do anything
in fact that any reasonable man could
exact, and I went forth with her, feel.
ing tolerably happy. We struck out

of my feet taken with the sky fur a
background; and as ,negnii•crl that

means) I heard_ one ,of my, skates

together. We . glided along very
!smoothly until we reached the centre
of the park, when I became too eenfi
dent and struck out again. The re.
suit was the unkindest cut of all. I
measured my length on a slippery
! foundation, and to add to my misery',
I heard something tear just as I gain
ed a horizontal 'position ; and before
I had been prostrated a minute . l was
sure from the inexpressible coldness
of the ice as it came in contact with
an exposed part of my pfrBoll, that
something had been tore, I could not
get up, for fear of making myself ri
diculous, and I concluded' to he there
even though I melted my way into
China. My feminine protector ask- •
ed me•if 1 was fiart, and why I didn't
get up. I told her I was looking at
the reflection of my face in the ice

A MODERN OTHELLO TO LOVE,
Madness and Blurder.
The London Journals devote much
space to the trial of one George
Townley, for the- murder of At Miss
Goodwin, to whom he had been en
gaged to be married. The theory of
the defence was that the crime was
Committed while the prisoner was in
a paroxysm of insanity, and the the
ory was backed up by some of the
most eminent medical authorities—
that of Dr. Forbes Winslow among
-the rest. The circumstances of the
case bear no,remote apology to that
which Sbakspere has immortalized :
[Vroiat the London Times, 15th.]
Dr. Winslow was actually brought
forward to prove insanity, and did,
in fact, state opinions, in the very
words that we hare cited; - which
would have tended to acquit Othello.
The trial to which we refer is that of
George Townley for the murder of
klisN Goodwin, which took place be
fore Baron Martin, at Derby, on Fri
day and Saturday last. The prison
er, unlike his prototype, was describ
ed as it man of very quiet and refined
manners, a good linguist, and an ac
complished musician.
But dnder this gentle 'exterior
there was concealed,
.as.„ the event
showed, an imperious will and an in
exorable vindictiveness that might
have belonged to a hero of tragedy.
Though in a somewhat lower station
of life than Miss Goodwin, he bad
formed her acquaintance at the house
of one of her own relatives, and had
became desperately attached to her.
She returned hie love, and they re
mained engaged, with a short inter
ruption, for nearly four years. Town
ley lived: near, Manchester,,-and Miss
Goodwin, with her grandfather, Cap
tain Goodwin, at Wigwell HaU,. in
Derbyshire. Letters constantly pass
ed between thorn, many of which
have since been destroyed, but are
proved by 'secondary, evidence to
have expressed faithful affection on
both sides. The prisoner's want of
means had always been recognized
as an obstacle to the marriage; but,
in the course of last summer, a more
formidable impediment arose. 'A
clergyman,' whose name is not given,
the Cassia of this Bad history, had
been staying with Captain Goodwin,
and there. made proposals to the
granddaughter.
He was accepted, and Miss Good- 1
win, who had already spoken of him I
to her betrothed as the most delight. I
ful of men she had ever met, wrote at
last, on the 14th of August, to beg I
that the former engagement — alight
be broluin off. She does not appear
to have mentioned the true cause,
but, on the contrary, attributed it to I
her grandfather, and assured Town
ley aat she would not marry if he ,
could help it. 'That letter seemed I
to have turned his brain.' He had';
always been reserved, but he now I
became moody, sleepless and nerd
volts. He replied, however, to Miss,
Goodwin in two letters,. which betray
no truce of excitement, but are com
posed in a very natural tone and with
much self command.
In these he pleads for a last inter.
view, and there is evidence to show
that she at first consented, but imme
diately afterward' wrote to stop his
Coming, saying (with little regard to
truth) that she was 'about to leave
Wigwell that very day for an • indefi
nite time. Townley went, neverthe
less, the same night to Derby, and
on the following day, August 21, took
his ticket for Whatsandwell, the
nearest station to Wigwell. Thence
he walked past the Hall to Wirks
worth, and tried to find out from a
friend of the Goodwin family wheth
eh his suspicions were trite. By the
advice of thiS gentleman he returned
to Wigwell, between five and six o'
eloek, and asked fur Miss Gopdwin.
The servant showed him in, and he
Was left alone with his victim. his
manner was O'er] coo! and collected,
and 'like that of other people.'
What passed between this time
and nine o'clock, when Miss Good.
win was brOught back a corps to her
grandfather's house,ls :mystery.—L
The two remained for an hour or-so
'in the garden, and then walked out
together along a high Toad and down
a lane. It may_ he presumed that
'the prisoner now ascertainedfrom
Misa Goodwin '
' for the first time, that
he had been deceived and thrown
over in favor of another suitor. A.
laborer saw them - in close conversa
tion in the lane about half past eight,
and very shortly afterwards ar.other
laborer heard a ,- Moaning noise in
that direetion, ran forwitird; and met

Othello himself, if he had -not discov
ered his fatal error, could hardly have
used more characteristic language.
The defence was in substance that
though clever, self-possessed and ami
able, Townley lied been from an ear
ly age 'somewhat peculiar,' that this
peculiarity bad been aggravated into
intellectual derangement by the blow
his affections had received, and that
when he revenged himself by a milr-.
derous deed, he was not a responsi
ble being: Some of his relations had
been in confinement, but ho had ex
hibited no indications of mental weak
ness, except that he had not a good
head for business up to the time of
his disappointment, and he bore this
shock as calmly ae moot sensitive men
would be likely to bear it. The proof
of insanity was almost entirely ex
post la4o, and mated on the testi
mony of Dr. Forbes Winslow: That
gentleman examined' Townley for
le first time some three months af
ter he was imprisoned. He found
that he denied the existence of a God
and of a future world ; that he would
not acknowledge that he had, com
mitted any crime at all; that he ex
hibited no contrition, and :he: repeat
edly maintained that Miss Goodwin,
being betrothed to him, was his prop
erty; which be had a right to retake
at any cost. Being pressed further,
he asserted that he had the same
right in the ease of any other prop
erty that. alight be stolen from him,
and denied: that any one was enti
tled to sit in judgment on him.
On another occasion be talked
wildly.: of.six consairatqrs . Whom he
knew to be plotting
These expressic;ris led Dr.' Meilow
to the cenclusiion that this moral
sense was more vitiated' than that
of any one within the Doctor's expe
rience, and, combined with 'a wild
maniacal aspect,' convinced him that
Townley was of unsound mind in
November. The Surgeon of the jail
deposed that the prisoner was in a
simile' condition in August,and upon
this acquittal was claimed. Baron
Martin ruled that 'if he kneW that
the act he was doing would probably
cause death, and that the doing it
would subject him to !evil punish
ment, there was criminal responsibil
ity' A verdict of guilty followed.
THE DYING SOLDIER'S TALE.
[prom the Columbus (Ohio) Crisis.]
A. boy of some
,eighteen summers
lay on the battle field near Freder
icksburg mortally wounded. He lay
all day, unmindful of the scorching
sun and the roaring artillery. Gan
non balls flew past., fanning his pale
cheek on their deadly mission, but he
knew it not. At last he awoke to
consciousness and looked around
him. The moon was shining calm
ly on the boyish face; the blood ooz•
ing slowly from his side was evidence
that his youn g lfild was almost spent.
For a moment lie pressed his tremb- -
ling hand to his side to ease the
throbbing pain, and the pale, blood
less
lipS parted with a sigh Of agony.
A wounded soldier near, hearing his
groans, inquired if he was badly
wounded. 'Yes,' replied the dying
hoy, am dying, and I want my
mother ! for when they compelled
me to leave her sho bade me come
back to her, for I was the staff of her
declining years.. I ,promised her I
would, bat t am dying now, and shall
never see her more.'
The boy went on to say, for it
seemed to relieve his mind to talk,
when they told my mother her only
child was drafted and would have to
go to war, she said not a. word until
.we were left alone ; then she Came to
me and laid her white arms around
my neck and kissed me. I could not
speak then, so .l returned her caress
silently. At last shespoke; 'George,
