Ho w f rimtiful is Friendship, in youth's morn, -
Fiir and unclouded, 'tis a graceful flower
We seek for pride and pleasure, and when fife's
fold, stern realities shall come--clipping the
Wings of Fancy, it hears a healing balm
Nat to ibe hope of Heaven.
Mien pleasures purr, teem glowing, and hope's
fall
Casket bean its richest treasores—l could
ttiish eh! vainly it might ne'er be shattered.
°taboold afflicuon'sb!ight fall un thy heart
Nov cairn and glowing. I fain would share thy
Grief, and point thy stricken spirit upward.'
We hate been friends from childhood, the same
bind
Sprinkled the dew baptismal ou the brow
Of infancy,tand watched with ail a Father's
Tend'mess over our erring footareps—
Turn with anxious cans he led ua trembling
To that veered board, unworthy pleat., yet.
From Jeltbsah's prow se we may gather
Strength, for lie bath said 014 those, who early
Seek Ilia love AO never fad to find it.
Oa these and many other kindred tie■
Which biod young heart' to bonds of love and
faith
Is bawd but friendship, warm and undying,
Will it not Nye forever not Heaven
Look with oppmring eye upon our hinny
Deep, pOre outgushuigs?
God shield thee ever
Fram all tam and harm shall be my ardent prayer
And when at last, dear girl, thou too art called
To lay WA burden down, and go and jtin
The motAering multitude, when anxious cares
And stiWaiiii miszivins, with all fevered hopes
Are lost in dark oblivion—then may'st thou •

And (teed spirit opward,nount—prepared

Therefore they vehemently declaimed against

The first day of the assizes, and the court
quite full; the groups of barristers talking in
the lobby—the briefless ones endeavoring to

they had to do. A pale look some of them
had, certainly, but caused more by the last

the goal for the prisoners ; back they came,
and the curious crowd after them; Grace and
her Esther were on a step to see them pass—
`just to see mother,' she said. •
Now for thee
There she was, walking boldly on; the oth r
er funnies covered their heads in their 'cloaks,
or looked down, avoiding the busy gaze of the
idle. But Mrs. Kennedy looked round with
an air of defiance, while her eye lit on her
husband :andGrace.
There ye are--are ye 1' she shouted. Bad
luck to yez both.'
The police hurried her on. Two and two
the prisoners passed.
Look„look, father, dear?' and Grace point
ed to them.
There was eldest son, amongst the
last, with downcast look, handcuffed to ailuth
er lad like himsel£ And they were all thrust
into a cell under the court-house.
The judges came down, the trumpet Played,
and they went into avert.. Mrs. Saunderawas

with their.
'lle's such a nice little man:whispered Liz-
zie to Jane.
'Little,' was a term of affection they bad .
and Jane looked rather-astonished as she saw
the tall soldier, and heated him called 'little:
The little man' was so nice, and talked with
tae children; and so funny, and made them
Laigh so much.
But the crier ordered silencer- and a case
came on. The Kennedys were not the first
on the list, so the party waited.
At last, Catharine Kennedy's name was call
ed, and she was placed at the bar. Mr. Saun
ders, as prosecutor, got on the table and Was
sworn.
He deposed to the money being in the worl:-
box ; that it was Missed, and part of it found
the prisoner's person ; and detailed the facts
With which the reader is accu.inted. - '
think,' sLitl the counsel for the' prosecu
tion, • we must have your daughter on the ta
ble, sir, if you please.'
'She is very young, but, if required, will
take an oath.
Jane was sent for, and though a little tim
id at first, yet very nicely proved her leaving
the money in her work-box, and missing it on
her return from driving; also recognized the
silver found on the prisoner.
But now Grace Kennedy was called, and at
length, after her, name was repe..teil a second
time, she was helped into the witness-boi by
he father. She had been crying, and looked
very melancholy.

Grace commenced, in a faltering voice, to
tell her story. Her bonnet was off; and her

CHAPTER X
The crown counsel said, quietly,' You must
go on, My girl. You had the money in - your
hand? Did you put It back in the purse?
' No, air,' sobbed she. ''
~ •
' Was'the prisoner, , tit the bar in the room
while you had the meaty in your handl.-
Come, now, tell; tell me' •
'1 can't—l can't, indeed, 'sir!' s c reamed
Grace, a fresh torrent breaking forth.
• The judge blew his nose.
'My good girl,' said he, ' you are old enough
to know what an oath Is. You have sworn to.
tell the truth, and the whole truth; go on,nnd
tell this gentleman what happened' lifter you
had the money in your hand.' ,
' I can't, indeed—l can't, indeed !'said Grace.
A stifled sob was heard from the gallery ;
!the tears rolled down - all the little girls' cheeks.
' She gave it to me I—she gave it-to moony
lord!' shouted the prisoner.
It wad a sudden reaction. Ail ' looked at
the speaker—could it be possible!
The woman perceived the effect her excla
mation produced, and repeated- She gave it
I to me, not to tell that I , had seen her take it out
liof the box.' I
'Oh, mother, mother!' said Grace, looking
round, 'You know I didn't.'
'Don't call me mother, ye lyin' divil—you're
no child of mine. You gave me the money as
sure as lam standing here. Was it for this I
took ye from the stranger that wouldn't keep ,
ye, ye brat? Was it for this I reared ye up ,
decent, ye good for nothing bastard?'
'You're a liar!' shouted a stentorian voice
from the gallery—'-You'lp a liar!' it repeated l
louder again ; 'she is A bastard, bat as hon. j
estly bora as any in this court; and this is the I
way,' he shouted on, 'that you have kept your
word and fulfilled your trust I' -; ,
All looked up at this extraordinary proceed
ing. There was Charles Burton, leaning over
'the gallery, with flashing eye and dilated nos:
tril, shaking his clenched hand at tho prisoner. l
She looked ut him, screamed, fell back faint
ing, antkpas removed. Grace looked up, and
the eyes'of both met. The instinct of nature i
E.
spoke; and Grace, 'scarce knowing what she
did, stretched out her arms towards him, and
he, holding out his hands to her, cried—' My
child! aiy child! my child!' and fell back him
self inse'psible.

was whispered from mouth to mouth. ' A
young lady came forward and touched one of
the Miktoysted's arms. i
' Let me see him again, George,' she asked;

for a moment. ' It's Charlei Burton,' she said,

them. There was a crowd of tenantry at the

i Yes; these are the worda,he 'Wily spoke right
on,' telling the gravest and weightieSt truths
so unostentatiously that the veriest cirivie
thought hits merely telling, MI own' thonghta.
tAs he warmed up in his discourse, his ponder
!ous right-hand wadi emphasize someirupor
tant thought in such away that the' unanimities
'vote of the whole assembly would !lain pro.
krounced it the very perfection of dumb rheto
lric. There was not a single contortion of the
body. It stood like an ) oak: There was not
lan uncouth misshaping of the face. It looked
I placid, yet earnest as 'the Sun. There was no
1 agonizing glance 'of the eye to heavep as if tai l
draw-fire thence to consume his entrgorJets.—
His eye glanced tuelningli, and earnestly, and
truthfully around on the . .sea Of 'Upturned faces'
before him. As for gesticulation, he had not
even a stamp of foot to give power to some
i grand chili:ln f laming eprewling -atter. turban
though his digits extended were the only eini.
I dition on which Laraetcould Prevail. His ges
i ture was that of his right band, and that as
1 natural as the blow of a blackimith's-arm as
(he strikes the iron '-on-thi solid anvil.• : As a
speaker heseemed the. veryi perfeetion of aim.

But while he exhnited these traits, t't di!
not quench' that 'certain enthusiasm withuut
which a speaker cannot gain nr eked attent!on .
1 anywhere, much loss at The West. His 'elk
like firmness, his -pbetiotin' gvat'culathir, his
manly, but not Overstrained voice; with his en
tire demeanor en 'the sturip; carried to every
i one the belief that this man - was Moved deep
'ly by what he uttered. And 'it was a noble
sight to witness how perfectly breathed his'
i own spirit into the mass before himind moved
l i it OS with restless power. 1 Simple in eizech
and action as he was, the multitudes ever and'
anon broke out in , loud commeattation.
His Linghing, eye proved his love of a good
joke, and he gave them a fine, practical illus-1
i tration in that speech. It was just nft , tr , his )
!celebrated Post Office -Report. ii which he 11--03
exposed without mercy, the Corruptions Which,
had crept into that department 'One large i
mail contractor was speei.lly grieved by the
report and threatened to horsewhip Mr. Eiving
nt the first opportunity. The pugnacious con.
tractor, it seems. was a man-of the Tomillemb
species, and as Mr. Ewing- related the threat.
and spread ont his own ,brawny proportions
to our gaze, it was impossible not to laugh al
most to split our aides. 'Just to think of hi. , -
