equal success to thine which have attended his former
attempts. At • manes at the Auction Mart Assembly

of the roof, and they manifested no fear at that
rola height. Nor did any accident happen, for
alqmesmeriser's command, they dropp,d down and
were received by him without any hurt. As another
exhibition of his power he was in conversation with
some gentleman, and tor Led and asked a boy how long
It would take to get him under his influence? The
boy replied " Abent a minute," at whieh the spectators
ezpressed disbelief. But the Mesmeriser continued the
inanimation, and then suddenly turned to the bey,
made a pees over his head, and in an instant the boy

" Peter was in the ocean drowned,
A lucklints hapless creetur,
And when his lifeless trunk was found,

Some epitaphs are admonitory. The laudatory ones are
very numerous, and the practice is natural, but often
very absurd, as—
When Vera Nought death, armed with his sword and shield,
Death was afraid to moot him in the
But when his weapons he had laid aside,

Among the beautiful ones were :-1)n Reginald
Heber, Bishop of Calcutta, ob., 1826.
" Thou art gone to the ~;ravo ; but we will not deplore thee,
Though sorrow and darkness one -enfant the tomb,
Thy Saviour has pared through ita portal+ before thee,
And the lamp of ills lore is thy guide through the gloom."
"Thou art gone to the grace, but we will not deplore thee,
Whose Cbsl wee thy ransom, thy amardisn and guide.
He gave thee, lie took thee, and He will redore thee,
And death has no sting, Mace the Saviour has die I."
On lire. Ann Bury, in Beading churchyard, We of
Wight:—
- • - •• - •

Forgive blest shale, the tributary tear

Fontive the wish that would have kept thee here
And Alyea' thy program to the realuki of bliss,
No more confined to grovelling MXIII3I of night,
No rum. a tenant punt iii mortal clay ;
Now should we rather hail th) glorious flight,
And trace thy jounioy to the realms of dip.'
In eonclasion the lecturer made a personal applica-
tion of the subject, and said that he would be satisfied
to have but one word on his tombstone, " liesurgram"
—1 shall rise again. But he would not he satisfied
with it if it were not for the merit' of the Lord Jesus
Christ, for we must all die and rise swain, —"They
that have done good to the resurrection of life, and
they that have done evil to the resurrection of damna-
tion." Be hoped to rise in Christ's likeueer, the hope
of the early Christians, the hope of the patriarchs—
" I shall bn satisfied when I awake, with thy likeness."
, If our oonfideneo ii not in Jesus it is nothing, snd
we are staking all upon • few days' despair, then wrath,
then rain. ti xi grant that wo have that hope which
Ii WI anchor of the soul both sure and stdfast, and
that ontereth into that within the veil. All these
epitaphs will Belli hi erased ; but the name engraven
In God's book of life will remain ongraven in God's
book of glory. May God lead us to reflect upon the
solemn thing. suggested to-night, and if we have
laughed, let us remember that the trifling things of
life will all be lost in that eternal glory, when we
shall exclaim—
"Jny, joy for ever, our race is run
Our goal is attained, the victory won."

( t pplause.)
The MATOR hoped the closing remarks of the lecturer
would not be lost upon any of us, but that what we had
heard this evening would stimulate us to take care that
our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
He moved • vote of thinks to the lecturer, which was
heartily passed.
The meeting was closed with the doxology and
benediction, and the collection amounted to El 1.3 s 7d.

Mr. W. T. Itonears responded, remarking that when
he joined the order there were only a few Courts in
Dorset, and now they are quite numerous enough te
form • large "Dorset" district.
Mr. JOBS Oats gave "The Visiting Brethren,"
coupled with the name of Bra Parchuo, of Weymouth,
who responded, and gave the history and the last five

Bro. MOWLILM was also called on, and geld that when
be joined there were only 20 Foresters in Weymouth ;
but since the district had risen to upwards of 5.10 mem-
bers. They had experiencel a great deal of sickness
and paid much money for relief, ant not only the
Foresters but the ratepayers generally mast feel the
benefit, for the men who had received allowance from
the society wonid not have been able to support their

always asked him for the use of the schoolroom, for
their business meetings, that the younger members
might meet without the temptations of the public-
house, and he very cheerfully consented. Ho quit)

such societies, and it is a humiliating thing foe any man
who lives by honest labour, If be is laid up for a few
weeks, to have to go to the State for eupport. He
hoped he might live to see the day when every labour-
ing man will earn so much money that he shall be able

Bro. Reetelte responded, stating that the Court had
placed £4O to their credit in the bank, had paid £25 for
sickness, and £lO for funeral money, and the total
worth of the Court is £l2O. At the lut High Court at
Nottingham, a law was passed that they should have a

and have • smaller allowance per week-(hear.)

A TEETOTAL MISSIONA.RY CHARGED WITH
ASSAULTING A MARRIED WOMAN BY
KISSING HER.
At the Blandford Dlvi.lonal petty sessions,
Joseph Vaughan, of Stermineter Marshall, who for
about 10 years has been an active temperance missionary
and for some time past one of the travelling agents of
the Dorset County Temperance Association, WRS charged
with having on the 14th October last assaulted his abeth
Cross, wife of James Crow, labourer, of Stickland. The
IMO excited considerable interest in court, several of
the principal supporters of the temperance cause being
present, as also the Rev. Hr. Churchill, at whose seg.
, guidon the prossedinp were taken.—lir. Howard, of
eymonah, defended.
Elisabeth Cross, a young married woman, with pale
mentenanee,but of rather prepossessing appearance, who
gave her evidence in • straightforward manner, stated
that she resided at Btlekland, and on Saturday, the
14th October, she left home about 10 a.m. to go to see
bee mother, at Milton. When she got to Bth:skirted
School she saw the defendant wining towards her from
Milton, down the bill. He leaned over a gate as she
passed by, and neither looked or spoke to her ; but as
she was going up the bill he followed and overtook her,
and asked her if • man named Butt lived near. She
told him "Jest over the hill," and then walked on.
When she got to Dumberry Lane defendant again over.
took her, and commeneed to talk to her. He said,
"This is a nice lane for oourtine—(laughter)—to
which she replied she did not know !anything about
that; she was a married woman. He then said "He
did not see any harm in a lark," to which she replied
she did not want any. He then commenced pulling her
&boat, put his arm round her neck and kissed her,
walking by her side to Houghton Down. Just before
be left her Jame* Guy pass by them. The defendant
then went down the horse road through &Fate towards
Houghton, and she went on to her mo!her s. where she
arrived about half-past 11.
Cross-examined—The distance from my house to my
mother'. house is &boat five miles. I first saw Vaughan
about 200 yards from the schoolhouse, fie did not
kiss me till I got to Dewberry Lane. On the way he
put his arm round my neck. He did not at first suc-
ceed, but kept on trying to kiss me. I got away from
him, going on the opposite side, and he followed me,
putting his arm round my neck two or three times in
about 100 yards. James Guy wood us. I did not at
first say that Gay passed us till Mr.Claurohill questioned
me. I told Mr. ChurithilL
Er. Howard : Who is Mni Churchill; is he • police.
man I—(laughter).
Mr. Howard was Wormed that Mr. Churchill was the
clergyman of Stickler:id, and be then apologised.
I told Mr. Hodges at first that no one passed us.
The cause of my giving two answers was because Mr.
Hodges and others come to my house and kept On ques-
tioning me, and I got confused. I remembered it
when I was at Mr. Churchill's, I told Mr. Hodges that
I first saw the defendant coming down the hill. I did
not say I first saw him leaning ore,. the gate. I know
Mr. Vaughan wall, and have attended meetings where
he spoke several times. I told him my husband would
expose him at the next meeting. All that occurred
was on the highway. I have been married two years.
I lived first at Milton. I don't know a man named
"Black Jaok."--(Mr. Howard was proceeding to ask
complainant about her previous character, but was
stopped by the Chairman. —When Vaughan left me he
went by the horse rued to Hilton. I saw him go
through the gate. I rode home from Milton with Mr.
Gillingham. I told m mother what had occurred.
The reason why p were not taken sooner was
because of want of means, and my husband said that as
it was only • kiss it did not so much matter—(loud
laughter).
James Gay, a young bad, stated that on Saturday,
Oek bee 14th, he saw Mrs. Cross and Mr. Vaughan
walking together on Hos/hien Down. That was about
half peel 10. Houghton was about six miles from
Blandford. When be passed them be was about 10C
yards off. Vaughan was a step behind Cross.
By the Chairman: I believe Vaughan is the man,
but I will not swear he is.
By Mr. Howard: I did not tell Mr. Hodges that the
man I saw had • bleak moustache, but a black beard.
Mr. Howard, in an able defence, said ie the first
place he must apologies to the mart for taking up
their valuable tires by addressing them on this trivial
are, and be believed that alter they had heard his wit-
nesses they would dismiss the charts. The oase was
one of that alas, which were easily made, but very
difficult to disprove. No doubt to many such a charge
would be treated with Indifference or passed off with
a langh, but his client's character was at stake, and it
would be ruin to him If he were convicted. For ten
years Mr. Vaughan had acted as missionary in the tem-
perance cause, and daring that time he had paid 3000
visits to the homes of, the people, and had borne • very
' high character as a husband, • father, and in his public
eapasity. The acidosiss against such • man, on such a
Ouse. should be of the dearest kind and supported
by the strongest testimony, and the considerations
were—First, was the asisolt committed, and secondly
was the women • oomenting party. She admits that
before any liberties were taken she walked with him
100 yards., and that after he kissed her she kept in his
company till they met Gay. Would not • woman,
having any respect foe her character, have stopped Guy
and told him she had been insulted. But she did not
even speak to her mother, bet allowed three weeks to
elapse before she said anything about it. She also said
over said over spin when interrogated by Mr. Hodges
and others that she did not meet with any one, but
when interrogthed by Mr. Churchill she admitted that
was wrong, Was this woman then worthy of credit,
having mode two differeet stetements. On his client's
behalf he most positively denied the sharp or that he
spoke to the woman at all. His duty that day
was to walk from Piddlehinton to Blaudford. He
left Chlselborne at 9 a.m., and got to Blandford at IL2O
having to meet • patron by appointment at hallpast
eleven, and was it likely that a man having such an
appointment would delay kis time hyping Lk some
distance to toy with • woman. The ease, ache had
said before, was of vital importance to the defendant,
who if the charge was considered as proved would lose
his tharseter and his situation ; and even royalty had
been compelled to go into the box to disprove (bargee
stalest oheraoter. He hoped therefore that the Bench
when they heard the evidence of his witnesses, would
dismiss the ease. Mr. Howard then called—
Charles Mullett, who stated that he WIA • maroon.
ter at Ohiselborne, and had known Mr. Vaughan
several years as • missionary of the Dorset County
Temperance Association, On Saturday, 14th October,
he was at witeme's house and he walked with him
about three quarters of • mile. He directed him along
the rest to Abbey Milton. Vaughan left his house
about half-past nine. He always bore an excellent
character.

Mary Inn Hammond, wife of Mr, Hammond, sand
oho kept the Temperanse hotel In Blandford. On
Saturday, 14th October, defendant came to the house
to meet Mr. Noel], the enernary of the Temperance
Annotation. He same la at half-pan 11, and said he
had walked.
Mr. Henry Hodges, draper end outfitter, Market, plan,
Bleadford, said he had known the defendant some
years, and in his sneaky as heasarer, had paid kiis his
gamy 8 years. He was of unexceptionable &neater.
WHAMS had seen Mrs. Cross about the charge. On
the 9th November he went to her hone to company
with Thomas (Marren having on], heard of the matter
the night before. She thee stated that whilst she and
Vaughan were in company together she neither saw
man nor woman. He then asked her why she did not
summon him at one. Her husband said it wan from
want of means, and tickled that as It was only klas he
thought it was not worth while to see about it. She
also said that the int saw Vaughn loaning over a gate
near BM/Aland schoolhouse, but that be then chd not
bake any none of her, hut followed her up the hill.
