Tue court had been in session since ten in the 1 forenoon, having taken a recess for dinner and 1 1 another fur supper. It was now ten o'clock, anti the court and jury were alike exhausted; bat li, y hail to finish the cause on trial that night, ami the jury were listening to the summing up on the part of the p, , ,ple by the district attorney, who was calmly and dispet:sionately laying be fore them the evidence, aud, with tremendous force, urging on them the propriety of a verdict against the prisoner. 'Chu judge was a stranger to that bench. Ile i• fr Jill a country circuit, appointed to relieve pr ‘if city business, aud he Lad worked f , r four weeks of the term ' whiSh was hadn pw approaching to its close; and iiitposied of an immense amount of work. He haft won the respect of the bar by his dignified and ur bane bearing, his clear and lucid opinions and dcui,ions, his kindness to younger members of the pr 11, and his st...adfd.d attention to the a alt Lef-re him. But oti from the bench no -aw him. From the uwinent that he left, rhi o .urt room he disappeared. His carriage but is were always closed, anti he drove directly to uts hotel, where he kept his rooms, and did n.,t appear until to return to the court room. It was said that he was a man of great wealth, of c:cgant tastes, of refined and luxurious habits of life. Men wondered wily he submitted CO the drudgery of the bench; to the hard labor which a judge must du. lie did net need the salary; that was evident from his style of living at inJuie and in the city He did not need the position or reputation it gave him: that he had enjoyed while at the bar tad in Congress, when to be in Cougeress was an honor. lie id not do it from love of it; fc..r so one irba knew him would suspect; for while he wad prompt and faithful to attend to duties, he never went one step 'farther, and iD all his decisions was exceedingly careful not to waste time or words, or to travel out of the rcoord, as is the fashion with our judges now. w ho k argumouta is Karnak and old Thebes t 1 r, .31 estate questions iu Rockland 11 o ) retained his judgeship, therefore, re maiu,l a :,übject of conjecture; sad perhaps the moss reasonable suggestion was that he did so tor employment of mind, and to keep himself from painful thought. If so, it was a good plan. Nothing could more effeetually drive away all painful recollections than steady devotion to the business of a circuit judge, provided he could once get the victory for the labor over the mem ories. If painful memory kept him from busi ness it would be of BO avail, but let him once forget the past, in the absorbing interest of ju dicial study, and he mighl, retain the victory.

It was remarked, ton, that from day to day, as it progressed, he had gradually leaned more and more against the prisoner, as if he had become convinced of the propriety of a verdict of guilty even before the evidence closed. This is not an uncommon oc currence. In most oases a man must be super human to avoid this. It may be said that a judge should conceal them, if he has such feel ings. We will not stop- to discuss that now. Cnarles Cameron was no man to disguise his feelings on or off the bench The district attorney closed, and tbe jury rose to listen to the charge of the court. The prisoner was a woman. She was indict oil for the murder of her child, a young infant, and the case had hung, as most cases of this na ture do, on medical testimony. The child was but a month old, and was found dead in its bed. The marks on its body might have indicated the cause of its death, or might have been the con vulsive grasping, of the mother bolding her dead hay to her heart. The prosecution contended for one view, tbe defense for the other. The me dical evidence,. had been at, oit equally balanced It way in proof that the mother lived alone in a house in the outskirts of the city. That she pt a servant, and had frequent visits "irom a oeutl wan, whose(a te the servant had never - seen, thou4h two years had passed during which he was there almost daily She lived in plain and respectable style, was seldom out of her hon e .., saw no other person but this one man, and had two children, of which this child Ras , one, which died one month otter it was born. Ifer usual visitor bad not been seen for a month before her arrest i n the cross elimination the servant showed clearly that , he had a feeling of enmity to the prisoner, growing out of s•mt trifle, but not un common in persons of her nation and position, leading them, as lawyers see daily illustrated, to lie, and verify their lies by oaths, to obtain re v, lige for their real ur fancied wrongs Vicw it in its host light, the case was a dark ) ill who were In the court room scem ,•.i to think S.) tbuaght the prisoner's coun4e2, than whAu time shier could be found in the city To say the best of the whole case it was a mysterious o n o, and none the less so that the pri-oner had sat in court from day to day heav ii) vailed, au I u one bad soca her face, or knew wilat looking person she, was The judge received the testimony fully. Ilia clear mind had taken in every point, and arrang ,..l it with reference to its logical bearing on the ease, so that as he proceeded new light seemed to break on the dark points.

Before the jury retired, and immediately af ter the judge ceased, one of the jurors, a man of twill and venerable aspect, asked the court if it pr per to request the pri miter to remove her v•il: "1 cannot well determine a question of sueb iuw•.rtauce with reference to a person I have nor, r seen,'' said be The prisoner was sitting in the same attitude, with h •r fa eo turned to the judge, her head lean ing toward him, as if she still heard his voice She bad not moved. She beard the question, however, and with on.: hand swept back her vail Cr , m her volinfrnanee. Nio‘i•r• in any r , iiirt room, since the trial of the L• aniilui Lily Jane Gray, did a face of such royal Deauty limb on the gaze of an astonished jury. She was young, not more than twenty-five. Her features were of exquisite mould; her fore head broad and massive; her eye light blue, and exceedingly clear and rich; her lips of matchless chiseling. lint the agony that was all over her face was unutterable, inde,eribable. She fixed her steady imploring gaze on the judge, turned it to the ju ror who had spoken, and again let her vail fall, .Lod herself sank back exhausted and fainting. It was net till after the jury had retired that the clerk observed that the judge had fallen from his chair. Hastily rushing up to the bench the officers lifted him and carried him to an open window. He revived soon, and the snow on his forehead recalled him to his senses. At first he mattered some inaudible sentences, and then thanking the officers fur their attention, he re sumed hie seat and quietly awaited, with others, the return of the jury. The attack was attribu ted by all present to over-exertion and the close uuss of the room. No one—l am wrong—only one of the persons who were in the court-room besides himself knew of the emotions whieb had so shaken that man. While the jury are delib erating we will go back in the story, and endeav or to make the scene as intelligible to the reader as it was to thuee two. Charles Cameron, the only son of a wealthy lawyer of the colony of Virginia, was heir alike to a large fortune and a stern disposition. The old man had been a Royalist in the Revolution, and never forgave th.• colonies their successful re volt. The son was a \V as violent as his fath er was on the other side, and many severe con tests arose between them on political subjects. It was remarked as strange that the old man, afttr 41 the voileut scenes which bad passed be tween hi:, son and himself, and after all the ea- Mity he had expressed to his son's principles, ,hould have left him his fortune without limitor incumbranco. The sou was in all respects worthy a fortune. He was a polished gentleman, a good companion, a`faithful eocioarlor, and a sple'd scholar, lie removed to a northern state after his fath , :r's death, and soon took a promi nent stand at the bar. Party polities ran high. fie was a candidate for Congress against a man twenty years his senior. Many bitter things were said on both sides, some of which the hot blood of the young man resented with fury, and some which the cool deterutinatioo of the older candidate made causes of enmity that was con firmed by his defeat, and made ten-fold more when young Cameron ran away with his daugh ter, married her, and took her to Washington as his bride. She never went into her father's house again, nor was recognised by him, orb any of his fam ily, when they met, as they did daily, is the streets.

So even are the bottoms and the surfaces of graves, that men begin to feel that level whenever death approaches them and are ready to forget all their differences. Not so John Bromley; he was not like other men Not so Charles Cim..r.o; be was hire j Bromley. "Charles," said Alice Cameron, "I am dying, and I would fain lie reconciled t o wy Will you sok hint to:coute and see me?" He consented willingly, and sent - that very hour a servant with a note asking Mr. Bromley to do Mrs Cameros the honor to inall and soe her. Such a (urinal note seemed strangu in such cir cumstances; but all the town knew that Mrs. Cameron was dying, and he could nut but under stand it as a summons to the deathbed of hi. daughter. fie paid not the slightest attention to it. She penciled with her own feeble hand a petition—a daughter'sprayer—that she might be allowed to loot moreon bis face before she departed to the dread assembly of the dead. lie did not come When Cameron saw his wife lying dead, and the n , ,te returned, nn opened, lying on the little stand lay her head, he vowed a solemn vow that he would never forgive the man that last unkindness, not on earth, not though he stood at heaven's gate and were ex chided for that hatred lie forgot that be would have done just so himself. She left him one daughter fifteen years old Twu years later 'he was seventeen, and exceed ingly beautiful Alt the strongman's heart was bound up in the child; and she was one t o l ove Her form was of the mould of Eve's. Her eye 1188 of the blue of the skies of Eden Her voice was perfect music. For the first two years after her mother's death she was growing into com plete womanhood, and then she was 4 spleudid woman I have some hesitation in attempting to de. scribe her character. It was by no means per fect. It WAS hardly possible that the child of such a father should be very mild and gentle; and, in fact, she wa4 very like him in her firm ness and her determin-ition of purpose Withal she inherited from her mother an amount of pas sion, warmth of feeling, and devotednem to any object of nlT..ctit.o, which, coupled with her fixed ness of will, tusde her a difficult subject of man agement These were the prominent points of danger in her character li%ery thing else was exceeding ly winning and lovely, and even these points rendered her more attractive. If her horse re fused to leap a trice, rsle him at it steadily till he did it If ,he wished a flower that grew on the edge of a precipice, she walked boldly out and plucked it. If on she etlled friend were in need, she never re,ted till the aid was rendered. She had even been known to go alone at mid night for a physician to see her father in a severe attack of illness, because she would not trust a servant. It was not strange that the strong man's heart wimuld itself :tr tint her lie made her his idol. He was grvilit, I; di voting himself more and more to hi, profession, and whi m h e did periir. him «dr to escape his library, it was his joy i b•• by her itt.rivitb!il smile .11 , 1q10.1 it 11./ his house, and he d gay rt tawing•rumu while her father i,,ted over. books An his undisturbed office.

The reputa tion of the lawyor did not suffice to satisfy them that it was any thing more than the enmity of the man that induced the proceeding, and they employed counsel to oppose. One evening, not long after this, Mr. Cam eron come somewhat suddenly from his library, through his drawing room, and into a small parlor which was devoted to books of the lighter sort, and to musical instruments. He was seek ing an authority which his library did not fur nish. lle found something he did not expect. Possibly the freedom of life which he hail permitted his daughter might have authorized it; certainly it ought to have excused it, though it was a zoning!! affair. Kate was sitting in no equivocal position with a gentleman. His arm was round her, her head on his shoull.•r: and she was in such a splendid flow of spirts that it was not until her compan ion called her attention to him, that she saw her father standing in the door with a brow like a thunder cloud. "Young man, leave this house?' was the first remark of the father. "John, keep your sue" was the firm response of the daughter, u she rose and met her father's eye with a look that waa as firm as his. War was declared—that was manifest. The young man was John Bromley, grandson of the father of Mrs. Cameron, oousin of Kate, and the first of that family who had ever been seen in the house of the Cameron. Ile now interposed, with some oonfusion indeed, but politely: "Accident makes it necessary, Mr. Cameron, what I had intended to defer until a more auspi cious time, when our present' hostile aspect might be somew lilt changed. But doubtless—" "Explanation is unnecessary, Sir. I have re quested you to leave the house; oblige me by sparing tue the trouble of enforcing my request." "Stop a minute, John, I will go with you:" Mr. Cameron looked at his daughter calmly, half smiling at the 'plait which he in fact ad mired. "And where do you propose to go? To Ste phen Bromley's? I fancy you will not And a welcome there." "I don't etre where, father. I love John Bromley, and I will go with him to the world's end." "And leave me, Kate?" There was a look of pain mingled With the sternness of her father's face and it melted her. The next instant they were alone, and she lay folded in her father's arms. But the charmed bond that bad held that father and daughter to gether was injured. We can not pause to relate how it was bruised more and more, and finally broken. ft was enough that Kate was deter mined to conquer her father; and all the evi dence be furnished tier that John Bromley was an abandoned °her -utter, unfit for her to love, but served to convince her of the father's injustice. and after a success ion of violent saws, the end eame and she disappeared. . He made no search for her. His heart was well-nigh broken. His home was absolutely desolate.

Soutctune+, in the solemn nighte, he would remember the beloved wife of his early years, and would weep bitterly in his lonesome room. Oftener still, his radiant daughter would appear before him in all her young loveli ness, and he would shuddir as he thought what milk now be her fate, aicandoned to the tender uter,t,.... of a cruel world. Aml .o years rolled on, and he grew old fast; and when Kate Cameron should have been twen ty-live her fAther was prematurely old, and his thud was broken by his sorrows.

He at in the chair lean ing bark listlessly, waiting the coming in of tho verdict, and no one would have dreamed that he was more than ordinarily interested in what was going on. The night crept slowly on. The day wan ap proaching; and still no verdict. The clerk had fallen asleep; the constables at nodding on the steps that led up to the bench; tho counsel had gone out, and were R01:1A.414 thauselves at a neighboring hotel with cigars and punch, discussing the trial and the news of the time, with an occasional joke and story by way ofrenlivenment. The candles had burned down And the long wicks obscured the light, so that it was ditfiralt to see across the court-room The low hum of conversation had given place to profound silence, and now all was hushed, as if thy• tune repose that blessed others, guilty or knnoe•mt, were blessing the prisoner and the court alike. I;nt an observer, had there been one, would tare been startled at the scene which the court room now presented in all this stillness. The judge, from letting his gray eye rove around the room, had, when he saw that no one observed him, fixed it on the prisoner, who •;at in a large chair, erect as before She had removed the rail from her faoe, and sat uncovered, with her pre fixed on his countenance. Neither could see th.! expression of the other's face. Each knew that the other was looking, hut neither gave any indication of the knowledge. Her face was (slut, but full of deep, ardent, earnest love, min gled with impending anxiety. Could his have been di.tingm shed, the similitude would have been star' ling Souly the night wore on.

It was a nice question. and. in the pre,snt in stance a terrible one. • For a father to direct a jury in determining the character of his dauLfhter on presumptive evidence, was a work requirin ; .! great mental determination. But he did it cal in:y, repe-tting what he had said before, and saying In substance that though no evidence of had char acter, it was entitled to its weight in connection with the other evidence in the ease.

Tt HS CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK - - VILLANors TRANsArrioN —We encoun- tered a German named Null Iteymer Snyder of Allegheny, at the Mayor's office yesterday morn• iug, who was there to complain of a daring rubbery, by which he is deprived of a chest of valuabl.• t.,14, without which he is unable to prosee Ivo hi. business. He had been working at W•• Newton, with his brother, Conrad R.,uu••r sw.der, but on Tuesday they came to the twinging with them their chests, which they I.l,osited with Messrs. 13inghatn, at the canal. It . appears that during the afternoon, two stone-masons called at the warehouse and pre sented a counterfeit order for the chest of the first named individual. This he obtained. The superintendent of the warehouse, Mr. Stu'tee, uteolug C..nrad shortly rfterwards, informed him that the chest had been- taken way, when the whole transaction was made maui feat. Soine time afterwards the thieves returned for the other chest., when Mr. Stulbw seised one of them. He broke loose on Liberty street, but was recaptured, when a desperate fight ensued, the swindler endeavoring to use a knife. A party of his friends interfered and he made his escape. This is certainly the most barefaced swindling we have heard of for sometime, and we earnestly hope, nut ,Hily for the sake of the unfortanate Germain, but that the villians may get their due, that they may be speedily arrested. —Pittsburg Paper. A Thu. RAILROAD PUFF.--The editors out West have a peculiar style of puffing "over the left." Witness the following, which we dip from the Cincinnati Enquirer. We think the milk which is served up at the Burnett House is somewhat rieher than is usually found at the hotels in the QllO6ll city. The Enquirer says: "A passenger on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad, was yesterday suddenly seized with swamp in the stomach as the cars approached the depot at Glendale. The conductor supposed it to be a ease of Cholera, and a physician was seat for. After an examination of the patient, an emetic was administered with el:twit happy but astonishing results- ; thirteen ounces, avoirdupos weight, of batter was ejected. On investigation, it was learned that the sick man, prior to his de , had drank three glasses of milk at the Barnett Flom. We must commend the richness of the Burnett Hesse milk in these degenerate times, but at the same time, protest against the roughness of a road that produces such tusk& We sin informed that a recent has been sled by the Directors of the road in the PONIES Mks, and any infringement be pun ished to tie fall extent of the law.

It was covered up about two feet below the surfeee, without any thing a. a protection against' the pressure of the earth, and, on being dug up a few days ago, the loathsome creature, after staring for a moment with its bright, beautiful eyes, leap ed away as if it had been crossing a foot-path.-- We are quite aware that toads have been found alive after more than three years confinement somnt• of them having been found in the heart of rocks, where they must have remained for thou sands of years; but the experiment recorded is nevertheless interesting as it affords an addition al confirmation of one of the most inexplicable fact! in animated nature. Above the toad's grave the flowers of three summers have grown; heart ease and mint have struck down their roots to wards the reptile, but were far from reaching its narrow house, in which, if undisturbed, it might have slept and lived for innumerable ages, till, perhaps, released by a convulsion of nature, raising what was once Morayshire from ender the waters of the ocean. Man has been called the tenant of a clay tent—his life, if compared with geological epochs, is less than an instant. It is otherwis with testis, that we spurn from our feet, for when buried alive, they have an humor tat; which may continue till the elemeatamelt with fervent heat, and the whole framework Ware be dissolved.—likria rammer.
