when I found hiin op his kne!, grovelling

These were some of the beart-harrowing in -

all the dreadful scenes that followed.
I raised him from the floor, placed him on
a chair and said :
'Alas, Judge C., appeals to me are too late
Jury has taken in his testimony.' ' •
His eyeballs glared at me like those of a
maniac. Then as if wrung by some wonder
ful impulse, be became calm. Indeed, filet
calmness was more dreadful to behold, than
had been his excitement, imprecations, and
agonizing entreaty.

His excitement was returning ; and with
out ret3ecting,-as I sh - ould bare done,l turned
and left the room,, amid the curious looks of
the crowd who had now gathered—for, in
those Western settlements, was no moment
about Gi-and Jury matters,and half the village
a'ready knew the story—l bad just crossed
the court room,l repeat,when I beard a dread

h was succeeded b3tan instant of the most
terrible silence,and then the crowd burnt into
the room.
Judge C--- lay upon the door, with his
blood and brains shockingly scattered about
the little chamber. When I returned, I found
that he-bad drawn his pistol and to his other
crimes had added that of self-morderar
was a ghastly .i ir t,s w-seer, nor shall I ever
forget the memories of that dreadful day,
when I was compelled to behold the living
agony.and dying woes of a culprit Judge, in
sight of that bench and bar, whereat be bad
so often Presided in convicting and senunc ,
ing villains less guilty than he bad been all
the while.

So dying Mr.lienriott took bia bat and
left the office.
• "PIA, you gee the money,_ Charles," said
Grant, as the , boy entered the Shoji.
There .was a g4xl...dital of - earnestness in
the shoemaker's tor4s, •
." No, 4r," replied the lad.
, "Didn't get the Money 1"
"No, sir."
"Wasn't Mr. llentiott. in
"-Yes, sir; but be said it wasn't conven

" Oh, dear l' I am- sorry ;" came from the
shoemaker in a depressed tone.

The woman looked troubled as well as
listippointed. Slowly she turned away and
left the shop. A few moments after her de
parture Mr. Hentiott name in, and after some
words of apology paid the bill.
"Run and get this bill changed into silver

moment-the customer departed. -

poor'seamstress; " I bavn't a cent to bless
myself with; and I owe so much to ti'e gro

The tailor looked troubled and the woman
lingered. Just at that moment the shoe
maker's boy entered.
"Here are three dollars Mr. Grant borrow
ed of you this morning," said the lad. " lie
says he is very sorry he hadn't the money
when you sent for it a while ago."
" How the faces of the tailor and his needle
woman brightened instantly, as-if a gleaut of
sunshine had `penetrated the room.
"Here is rust the money I mye you," said
the former in a cheerful voice, and he . banded,,
her the three dollars -- he bad received. A
moment after and he was alone, but the glad
face of the poor woman whose need be bad
been able to supply; waa distinctly before
him. , ,
Of the three dollamreceived by the- .eedle
woman, two went to the grocer, on aCCOU
tier debt to him,-half a dollar war paid an of
needy colored woman for scrubbing, atid who
was waiting for Mrs. Elden's return from the
tailor's to get her due ; and thus be able to
provide an evening and morning meal foi
herself and children. The other s helf dollar
was paid to the baker when he called to
wards evening to leave - the accustomed roar.
Thus, the poor needle woman bad been able
to discharge three debts,and at the same time
r,e establish her credit with the grocer-and
baker,from whom came the largest portion of
food consumed by the little family.
And now let us follow Mrs, Lee. On her
arrival at, home, empty-banded, from the visit
to the shoemaker's who owed her-two dollars
for work, she found a young girl, in whose
pale face were many marks of suffering and
care, awaiting her return., •
The girl's countenance" brightened as she
came in ; but there was :io answering bright
ness in the countenance of Mrs. Lee, who !im
mediately said : •
" rat-svery sorry, Harriet, but Mr. Grant

The girl's disappointment was very great,
for the smile !he had forced into life instant

deep distress.

The cars were whiting at the station of one
of our Western railroads. The engine was
puffing andtlosing. The baggage muter was
busy with baggage and" * checks. The men
were hurrying to and fro with chests and
valises, packers and trunks. Men, women,
and children were rushing for the cars, .and
hastily securing. heir seats, while the" loco
motive snotted, and puffed, and-blowed.
A man carelessly dressed was Atanding on
the platform of the depot.' - He was looking
around him, and seemingly paid little atten•
ticin to what was passing. It was easy to
see that he was lame. At a hasty glance
one might have easily supposed that he .was
a man of neither wealth nor influence. The
conductor of the train gaits him a cottternp.
tuous look; and slapping him familiarly on
the shoulder, be called put—.
Hallo;Limpy; better get aboard, or the
cars will leave you behind."
"Time enough, I reckon," replied the indi

his seemingly listless position.

"All aboard!" Cried-the conductor. "Get
on, Limpy," said be, ss be passed the lame,
carelessly dressed man. •
The lame man made no reply.
Just as the train was slowly moving away,
the lame man stepped on the platform -of the
last car, and walking in quickly, took a seat,.

of our friend. • _ .
" Better not he so rough, young man," re
t u rued the stranger. -
The conductor released the carpet bag-for
a moment and seeing he could do no more then,
he passed on to collect the fare from other
passengers. As he stopped at a seat a few pa
ces off, a gentleman who had beard the con
versation just ,mentioned, looked up at the
conductor, and asked him—
" Do you know to whom you were speaking

‘"No, sir."
"That was rater Warburton, the Presi

The color rose a little in the young man's
face, but with a strong effort be controled
himself, and, went on collecting his, fare as
usual.
Meanwhile Mr. Warburton sat quietly in
his seat—none of those who were near him
uld unravel the expression of his face, nor
tell what would be the next movement in the
scene. And he—of what thought het He

Presently the conductor cacrielAck. With
a steady energy he walked up to Mr. War

What Kind^of Words to use
. .
Use simple, familiar 44i:it-Saxon words,in
preference to those of Latin and French orig.
in. 'the latter seers finer and more high
sounding, - but the . fortner are - stronger and
more _expressive, "Act‘ yob will be, able to set
forth more clearly in them what you - have to
say. If your thiautlit is a great , one; simple
words Will befit it ; if it is a. trifling or com
mon-place, your grand phrases will only
make it seem- ridiculous. Father, -mother,
brother, sister; home, happineEs; biriven, sun,
moon, stars, light, beak; to sit, -to stand; to
go, to run, to stagger, are Angle Satoh
words; as are most of those used to eipress
habitual notions, and designate persons and
objects familtar and dear to us. We may
say in Latin-English, "Felicity Eaten& , vir
tue," but, "Well-being arises froth Well
diaine—Saxon-English—is a far better word
ing of the same idea. Mark the strength,
expressiveness - and majestic miarement,pf the
following lines from Byron's "Destruction of
Seonacberib," in which nearly all the words
are Anglo-Saxon : •
For the Angel of Death spread his wiage on the
blast, ,
And breathed in the face of thelue as ho passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed' deadly and
chill,
And their heart's beat-but once and forever lay
still. '

SOMSTBING ABOUT SCHOOLS.—We know a
man who last: - summer hired four colts pas
lured on a farm,-some five miles distant. At
least once in four weeks he got iato a wagon

fared. He made minute inqeiry of the keeper
as to their health, their watering, he
himself examined the condition of the pasture,
and when a• dri , season, came on, made spe
cial arrangements to have a daily allowance
of meal, and he was careful to know that this
was regularly supplied.
The man had font- ohildren attending
school kept in a small building erected at the
cross-roads. Around this building on three
sides is a space of land six feet wide; the
fourth side is on a line with the street.
There is not a shade in sight of the building.
Of the interior of the school house we need
not speak. We wish to state one fiict only.
The owaer , or these colts, and the father of
ihose children, has never been. in. that
school house to inquire after the comfort,
health, or mental food daily-dealt out to his
off.pring. In the latter part of summer we
chanced to ask, "Who teachej your school Y"
his reply was "be did not know, be,believed
'her, name was-Parker, but he had no time to
- look after school matters."--Anier. Ag.
Tair.—That that; may be mixed up ln the
most complicated and absurd manner, and
yet not, wholly spoil the graMmar, appears
fromtie following curious bit of verse whicli
has been often printed, but is good enough
to be repeated as long as almanacs arc pub
lished :
Now that is a word which may often by joined,
For that that may be doubled is dear to the mind;
And that that that is right is as plalii to the view s
As that that that that we used,is as tight 4 need too ;
And that mat that that that line dad id it Is right—
In 'accordance with grammar is plain fa our sight.
