THE CRIMINAL WIT A ESS, OR The Providential Mail Robbery. A LAW TEU'S STORY. In the spring of 1848 I was called to Jackson, Alabama, to attend Court having been engaged to defend a young man who had been accused of robbing the mail.— I arrived early in the morning, and im mediately had a long conference with m v client. The stolen mail bag had been recovered, as well as the letters from which the money had been rifled.. These letters were given to me for examination, and I then returned them to the prosecuting attorney, Having got through my private prelim inaries about noon, and as the case would not come off before tbe next day, I went into the court in the afternoon to see what was going on. The first case that came up was one of theft, and the prisoner was a yonnggirl, not more than seventeen years of age, named Elizabeth Madworth. She wa.i very pretty, and bore that mild and innocent look, which we so seldom fiud in a culprit. She was pale and frightened and the moment my eye rested upon her, I pitied her. She had been weeping profusely, but as she found so many eyes upou her she became too much fiightened to weep more. The complaint against her set forth that she had stolen one hundred dollars from a Mrs. Naseby ; and as the case went on I found that this Mrs. Naseby, a wealthy widow living in the town, was the girl's mis tress. The poor girl declared her innocence in the most wild terms, but circumstances were hard against her. A buudred dollars in bank notes bad been stolen from her mis tress' room, and sbe was the ODly one who had access there. At the juncture, when the mistress was upou the witness stand a young maD came and caught me by the arm. He was a fiue looking man, and big tears stood in his eyes. 'They tell mcyou area good lawyer,' he whispered. 'I am a lawyer,' I answered. 'Xh3n do save her ' You can certainly do it, for she is innocent.' 'ls she your sister?' 'No, sir ; but, but— Here he hesitated, bat I understood him. 'liasshe no counsel ?' I asked. i 'None that's good for anythiug—nobody that will do anything for her O, save her and I'll pay you all I've got. I can't give you much, but 1 can raise something.' I reflected a moment. I cast my eyes towards the prisouer, and she was at that moment looking at me. She caught my eye, and the volume of humblo entreaty 1 read in her glauce, resolved me in a mo ment. I aroe and went to the girl, and asked if she wished me to defend her. She said yes. Then I informed the court that I was ready to enter into the case, and I was admitted at once. The loud murmur of satisfaction which ran quickly through the room told me where the sympathies of the were. I asked for a moment's cessation, that I might speak with my client. I went a.id sat down and asked her to state candidly the whole case. She told me she had lived with Mrs. Naseby nearly two years, aud bad any trouble before. About two weeks ago* she said, her mistress lost a hundred dol lars. 'She missed it from her drawer,' the girl said to me, 'and she asked n>e about if, but I knew nothing about it. The next thing I 1 knew, Nancy Luther told Mr*. Naseby that she saw :ne take the money from her drawer —that she watched me through the key hole. Then they went to my trunk and found twenty-five dollars of the missing money there. Bat, sir, I never took it— and somebody else must have put it there. I asked her weather she suspected an)' one. •I dun't know,' she said, 'who could have done it but Nancy. She has never liked me, because she thought I was treated bet ter thau she was. She is the cook. I wa B the chambermaid.' She pointed Nancy Luther out to me.— Sho was a stout, bold-faced girl, somewhere about five and twenty years old, with a low forehead, small grey eyes, a pug nose and thick lips. I caught her glance once, as it rested on the fair young prisoner, and the moment 1 detected the look of hatred whioh I read there, I was convinced that she was the rogue that committed the theft. 'Nancy Luther did you say that girl's name was?" I asked, for a new light bad broken in upon me. Off*, sir.' •Is there any other girl of that name about here'?' ♦No, air.' ♦Then rest easy. I will clear you, if all goes right. I left the court room, and went to tb e prosecuting attorney and asked him for the letters I hae had handed him—the ones that had been stolen from the mail bag. He gave them to me, and having selected one, 1 returned the rest, and told him 1 would see that he had the one I kept before night. I then returned to the court room, and the case went on. Mrs. Naseby resumed her testimony.— She said she entrusted the room to the prisoner's carc, and that no one else had access there save herself. Then she de scribed about missing the money, and clos ed by telling how she found twenty-five dollars of it in the prisoner's trunk- She could swear it was tbe identical money she had lost, in two tens and oue five dollar DOtP. 'Mrs. Naseby,' said I, 'when you first missed the money, had you auy reason to believe that the prisoner had taken it?' 'No, sir.' ♦Had you ever before detected her in any dishonesty ?' 'No, sir.' Mrs. Naseby left the stand, and Nancy took her piace. She came up with a bold look, and upon me she cast a defiant glance, as much as to say "trap me if you can." Nancy gave her evidence, in effect, as fol lows : She said that, on the night when the mon ey was stolen, she saw the prisoner going up stairs, and from the sly manner in which she went up she suspected all was not right. So sbo followed her up. "Elizabeth went into Mrs. Naseby's room and shut the door after her. 1 stooped down and looked through the keyhole, and saw her take out the money and put it it: her pocket. Then she stooped down and picked up the lamp, and as I saw that she was comming out, 1 hurried away.' Then sbe went on and told how she had informed her mistress of this, and how she proposed to search the girl's trunk. I called Mrs. Naseby back to the stand. ♦You say that no one, save yourself and the prisoner, had access to your rooms,' I said- 'Now could Nancy Luther have en tered the room if she wished ?' 'Certainly, sir. 1 mean no one else haj any right there.' I saw that Mrs. Naseby, though naturally a hard woman, was moved by poor Eliza, beth's miser}-. 'Could ycur cook have known, by any means in your knowledge, where your mon ey was ?* 'Yes, sir: for she often came up to my room when I was there and I have given her mcucy with which to buy provisions o* market men, who happened to go along with their wagons. ♦One mjre question : have you knowr. the prisoner having used any money since this was stolen ?' 'No, sir.' I now called Nancy Luther back, and she began to tremble a little, though her look was as bold and defiant as ever. 'Miss Luther,' I said, 'why did you not ;nform your mistress at once, of what you had seen, without waiting for her to ask about the lost money ?' 'Because, 1 could not make up my mind to expose the poor girl,' sbc replied prompt ly- ' You say you looked through the key hole, and saw the prisoner take the mon. cy?' 'Yes, sir.' 'VVhere did she place the lamp when she did so ?' ♦On the bureau.' 'ln your testimony you said she stooped down when she picked it up. What did you mean by that ?' The girl hesitated, and finally said she didn't moan anything, only that she picked up the lamp. ♦Very well,' said I. 'How long have you been with Mrs. Naseby ?' •Not quite a #ear.' How much does she pay you a week ?' ♦A dollar and throe quarters.' •Have you taken up any of your pay since you have been there?' 'Yes, sir.' 'How much *' •I don't know, sir.' ♦Why don't you know ?' 'How should I ? I've taken it at differ ent times, just as I wanted it, and have kept no account.' 'Now, if you had any wish to harm the prisoner, could you have raised twenty-five dollars to put in hef trunk ?' 'No, sir,' 6he replied, with virtuous in dignation. BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, JUNE 6.1856. ♦Then you have not laid up any money since you have been there?' 'No, sir—only what Mrs. Naseby now owes me?' ♦Then you didn't have any twenty-five dollars when you came there 1 ' 'No, sir, and what's more, the money found in the girl's trunk was the very mon ey that Mrs. Naseby lost. Yon might have known that if you'd ODly remember wha 1 you bear.' This was said very sarcastically, and was intended as a crusher upon the idea that she put the mouey in the prisoner's trunk. However, 1 was not overcome entire ly. ♦Will you tell me if you belong to this State?' I asked next. 'I do, sir.' ♦ln what town 1 ' She hesitated, and for a moment the bold look forsook her. But she finally an swered: ♦I belong to Sorners, Montgomery coun ty.' I next turned to Mrs. Naseby. 'Do yon ever take a reeeipt from your girls when you pa}- tbrmF ♦Always.' 'Can you send and get one of them for mc.' ♦She has told tlte truth about my pay ments.' 'O. I don't doubt it, 1 I replied, 'but oc cular proof is the thing for the court room. So if you can, I wish you would procure me the receipt., 'I will do it willingly, if the court says so.' The court did say so. and she went. Her dwelling was not far off, and she soon returned, and handed me four receipts, which 1 took and examined. They were all signed in a strange, stragling hand by the witness.' •Now, Nancy Luther,' I said, turning to the prisoner, aud speaking in a quick, start ling tone, at the same tstne looking her sternly in the eyes, "please tell the court and the jury, and tell me, too, where yon got the seventy-five dollars you scDt in your letter to your sister in Somers?' The witness started, ns though n volcano had Wst at her feet. She turned pale as death, and every Jinib shook violently. 1 waited until the people,could see her emo tions, and then 1 repeated the question 'l—never—sent—any,' gasped Nancy. 'You did " I thundered, for I was excited now. I—l didn't,' she faintly uttered, gras ping at the railing by her side for sup port. 'May it please your honor and gentlemen of the jury,' I said, as soon as I had looked the witness out of countenance, 'I came here to defend a man who has been arrested for robbing the mail, and in the course of my preliminary examinations, I had access to the letters which had been torn open and robbed of money. When I entered upon this case, and heard the name of this wit ness pronounced, 1 went out and got this letter which I now hold, for I remembered to have seen one bearing the name of Nan cy Luther. This letter was taken from the mail bag, and it contained seventy-five dollars, and by looking at the post mark, you will observe that it was mailed on th e very day after the hundred dollars were ta ken from Mrs. N'aseby's drawer. 1 will read it to you if you please.' The court nodded assent, and 1 read the following, which was without date, save that made by the post master on the outside.— 1 give it verbatim: Sister Dorcas—l cend yu beer sevente five doleis which I want yu to kepe for me til I come horn I cant kepe it heer cor I am afraid it will git stole. Dont speke wun word tu a liven sole about this cor 1 dont want nobadc to kno I hev got enny money. T am fust rate hcer ony that good fur nuth in snip of liz madworth is here yit—but I hope tu git rid of her now. Giv my luv tu all imjuirin frens. This is from your sis ter til deth NANCV LI THEII.' 'Now, your tioncr,' I said, as I handed him the letter and receipts, ''you will see that the letter is directed to Dorcas Luther Somers, Montgomery County. And you will also observe that one hand wrote that letter and signed these receipts. The jury will also observe. And now 1 will only add: It is plain to see how the hundred dol lors were disposed off. ScveuUrfive dol lars were sent off for safe keefnng, while he remaining twenty -five were placed in the prisoners trunk for the purpose of cov ering the real criminal. Of the tone of the other parts <?f the letter, 1 leave you to judge. And now, gentlcmeu, I leave my client's case in your hauds.' The case was giveu to the jury immedi ately following their examination of the let ter. They had heard from the witness' own mouth that sbc had no money of her own and without leaving their seats, they return ed a verdict of "NOT GUILTY." I will not attempt to describe thq scene that followed: but if Nancy Luther had not been immediately arrested for tbeft, she i would have been obliged to seek the pro tection of the officers, or the excited people would have maimed her, at least, if they had done no more. On the next morning, I received a note very handsomely written, in which I was told that "the within" was only a slight I token of the gratitude due mc for iuy ef forts in behalf of a poor defenceless maid en. It was signed "Several Citizens/' and contained one hundred dollars. Shortly afterwards, the yoath who had first begged me to take the case, called | npon me with all the money he could raise, but I showed him that I was already paid, and refused to take his hard earnings. Before I left town I was a guest at his wedding—my fair client being the happy bride* Nancy Luther was tried, convicted and sent to the penitentiary, where she is now undergoing the puuishment which she in tended for my fair client. Who pities her? I Thus, by a mail robbery, an innocent maiden was saved from the jaws of ruin, for with the evidence so strong against her, the jury conld not give any other verdict than "Guilty." I have always looked uj>on this as a spe cial providence to save an innocent girl, and bring the real criminal to justice. My client charged with robbing tbe mail was also acquitted, notwithstanding the set tled convictiou in the mind of the com munity that ht was not "above suspic | ion." I left Jackson a happier anu a richer man, for I went there fearing that my cli ent would be convicted, and 1 would be un | paid. Translnthms f fhe BiWe. The first translation of tbe Bible into : Eoglish was made by John Wvckliffe. lie | translated from the Latin Bibles then in i use. The Translation was made some time j before the year 1384, as Wvckliffe died iu | that year. Tin* translation was never priot > ed, but there are several M$S. of it iu. j England. Iu tbe year 1527, William Ttudal, a Welshman, first printed the New Testament at Antwerp. This translation was not made as former ones bad been, from the Latin vulgate, but from the Greek original. In 1586 the whole Bible was translated by Myles Coverdale, published in folio, and dedicated to Henry VIII. In 1587 Mathews' Bible, as it is called, was printed with the king's license, of which there was another edition iu 1551. Math ews is certainly u ficticious name, as John Rogers was the translator. In Quecu Mary's reign he was burnt for printing this very Bible. In the year 1539 Mathews' Bible was published, with alterations and corrections, in a large folio, printed by Grafton, which was also called C'ranmcr's, or the Great Bible. The next revision and publication of the Bible was made under the care and direc tion of Archbishop Parker. And as sev eral Bishop.- were eutpoloycd in it, it is sometimes called the Bishops' Bible. This was piinted iu 1653. The Kngiish Roman Catholics, in 1582, made a translation of the New Testament,' in English, from what they call the authen tieal Latin—meaning the vulgate—and be cause it was printed at libeims it is usually called the Rheimish Bible. And in 1609 they also priuted the Old Testament, at Donay, called the Donay Bible. In the reign of James I. a new, complete and more accurate translation of all the Holy Scriptures was made by fifty-four learn, ed men, appointed by royal authority, and was printed in folio in 1611. • This last is as true and good a version as we can have, and wo .shall not want another till length of time and change of language shall render it obscure and unintelligible. ANTIDOTE FOR POISONS.—A correspon dent of the London Literary Gazette, allud ing to the numerous cases of deaths from accidental poisoning, adds : "I venture to affirm there scarce even a cottage in this country that does not contain an invaluable, immediate remedy for such events, nothing niofe than a desert spoonful of made mustard, mixed in a tumbler of warm water and drank immediately. It acta 8 an erne tic, is always ready, and may he used with safety in any case whore one is requir ed. By making this simple antidote known yon may be the means of saving many a fol low creature frotu an untimely end." NEW CURIOSITIES OF LITERA TURE.

A peddler of tin ware, who had been traveling from plantation to plantation with bis cargo of 'notions,' found but a limited .sale for bis lanterns, an aaticle of which he bad a very large stock. In despair of get. ting rid of tbcai be offered them at what h p called 'a very reduced-price,' ret he found purchasers as scarce as clover in sand hills. At length a tavern keeper directed him to a farmer, who, he said was very uiueh in want of the article. To the house of this ready customer went Jonathan, determined to get bis troubles worth out of him. The first person lie met was the overseer, who was louugingby the side of the road. 'You dgn't want to buy a lautern, do ye?' askel Jonathan. 'Yes, though, I reckon 1 do,' returned the overseor, 'how much meiight you ask for one? ' ♦Only 37 i cents.' 'Well, suppose you giu iue one.' The pedler accordingly gave him a lan. 1 tern, and receiving hi- money, proceeded 1 onwards. 'You don't want to buy a first rate lan tern. do ye?' said he to tire overseer's wife, who was washing in the spring. 'Yes,' was the reply, 'Mr. 13. has been wantiug one this long while.' Jonathan accordingly served her out one at the same pi ice he had bargained with her husbaud for. At the barn, before he reached the farm house, he tnet the son of the planter — 'You dou't want to buy do | you?' 'I don't want one uiyself, but I'll take j one for father, who has been after one this long while.' Jonathan accordingly pocketed another thirty-seven aud a half cents, and became one lantern lighter. 110 now advanced boldly up to the Louse, J and meeting the old ladv at the door, itn- , 'aadiately put the question to her—'You . dou't want to buy any first rate lanterns do you?' 'lndeed, but.l do,' sasd the old lady, 'uiy husband lias beeu wauling qne these sis months past—and I am glad you have couie. VOL. 29, NO 23. Jonathan accordingly deposited a lan tern with bet, and received in return anoth er thirty-seven and a halt cents. He now ceparted, almost satisfied with the spec he Lad made. At some distance from the house, in a field by the side of the road, he espied the old gentleman himself, and hailed him with the old question : ♦Tou don't want to buy a first rate lantern do you?' ♦How much do yon ask a piece,' inquired the planter. ♦Fifty cents, and I guess that's cheap enough, considerin they've corneal! the way from Connecticut.'' ♦Well, I'll take one,' said tbe old gentle man. 'Hadn't you better take a half a dozen?' asked Jonathan, "there's no knowing when a tin merchant may pass this way again. If yon will take a half a dozen, I will let you have theui for thirty-seven and half cents a piece. The planter took him at his word —and the pedler took to his route, after having disposed of ten lanterns where only one was really required. ** * SORROWFCL JESTS. —A young lady asked a gentleman the meaning of tbe word 'sur rogate.'
