ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

WEXFORD, JULY. 15.--Yesterday Baron RICHARDS
addressed the grand jury. He said—l am very happy
to be able to inform you that the duties you have to per-
form at this assizes are light indeed. There are not
more than five or six bills of indictment to go before
you, and those of a light and ordinary class of crime.
After the trial of three persons for burglary, and of a
young lad of about twelve yerrs of age for stealing a
watch,
Baron RICK ARDS said—This disposes of the whole
criminal business. I wish I could dispose of the county
Tipperary as easily.
The Court then rose.

EARLY RISING.--I was always an early riser.
Happy the man who is 1 Every morning day comes to
him with a virgin's love, full of bloom, and purity, and
freshness. The youth of nature is contagious, like the
gladness of a happy child. I doubt it any man can
be called " old," so long as he is an early riser, and an
early walker. And oh, youth I—take my word for it
—youth in dressing-gown and slippers, dawdling over
breakfast at noon, is a very decrepid ghastly image of
that youth which sees the sun blush over the moun-
tains, and the dews sparkle upon blossoming hedgerows.

THE MAIDEN'S LEAF.—A daughter of the first
Earl of Gowrie was courted by a young Highland
gentleman, much her inferior in rank and fortune.
Her family, though they gave no encouragement to
the. match, permitted him to visit them at the castle
of Ruthven, in Perthshire, and on such occasions the
chamber assigned to him was in a tower, near another
tower in which his lovely mistress slept. On one of
his visits, the young lady, before the doors were shut,
gotinto her lover's apartment, but some person of the
family, having discovered it, told her mother, who, cut-
ting off all possibility of retreat, hastened to surprise
them. The young lady, however, hearing the well-
known steps of her mother hobbling up stairs, ran to the
leads, and took a desperate leap of nine feet four inches,
over a chasm of 60 feet from the ground, alighted
.on
the battlements of the other tower, whence descending
into her chamber, she crept into bed. Her mother having
in vain sought her in her lover's chamber came into her
room, where, finding her seemingly asleep,
she apolo-
gised for her unjust suspicion. The young lady eloped
the following night with her Highland laddie and was
married. The chasm between the towers is still known
under the appellation of " The Maiden's Leap.'—
