His garb Was torn, sparse and filthy; his face all bloated: and bloodshot; his hair matted with dirt; and his bowed form quifering With delirium. Certainly I never saw 'a more pitiable object. Sorely that man was born a villain. I l moved my place to obtain a fairer View ofhis . •face. He saw my move ment and turned his head. He gazed upon me alsingle instant, and then cevcring his face with his hands, he sank powerless into his seat. . e Good God I" '.l' involuntarily ejaculated,' starting forward. "Oh ! Wil---." 'I I had hdf spoken his name when he quickly raised his head and cast, upon me a look of such imploring agony that my tongue was tied at once. ,The'n he covered his face., again.

"And What has doneithis ?" I ask ed myself. And a voice • answered from. the( lowlysleeping place, " The (lemon ofi . the.wine table , But this WAS I ncit all'the work—no, go.

He—said John Anderson was in prison. I hastened to zee him. The turnkey conducted me to his cell, the key turned in the huge lock, the ponderoui door swung With a sharp creak upon its hinges, land I saw a dead body suspended by the neck Iron the .grating of the window. I loOked at, the horrible face; I could -. see nothing of John Anerson there—but the face I had seen in the court-room( was Sufficient to connect the twc, and I knew that was all that was left on earth of 'him whom I had loted so And this was the last of the de mon's work, the last act in the dra ma!' Ah! froni the first sparkle of the red wine, it had I been down— , down— down, until tlie foot of the hill had° been finally reached.' And when 1 . turned away froni that -cell, and once` 'more Walked' amid the flashing saloOns and-revel hells, I wished that my voice had power to thunder the life story of which I had been a witness, into the ears of all living. I - • THE RAILROAD COMPANY AND THE • PAIPIENGER. I • Into the question 140 abundantly discussed of late in the pia:ilk prints and periodical; and now even in po litical caucuses and conventions, con cerning the initrial rights and obli gations of the railroad companies and the public, I shall not enter. Yet ii may contribute something to a bet ter understanding; and - so indirectly to a solution of that problem, to have a clear idea oi l 'what a railroad cor poration is, what are , the hazards, what the toils, what the duties, diffi culties and dangers of those who are connected with, and who 'have done most to create, develop and-carry on these great highways of, the present century, the arteries', which supply the whele body-politic with its vital circulation—trad.e and commerce.
