1924; this year it will be very lean one, if in.

He was then taken to Albany tried convicted,

And the only reward these daring men ever re-

The conduct Of the captors Of Andre was noble;
but that of the captors of Bettys, was both noble
and heroic. Andre was gentleman. and without
the means of defence; Bettys was fully armed and
known to be desperate. The capture Of the
former was BY accident-of the latter, by enter

THE SPELLS OF HOMIE.

By the soft green light The woody glade,
On the banks of moss where thy childhood plAy'd;
BY the waving tree thro' which thine eye
First locke in love to the Summer sky;
BY the dewy CLEAN, by the very breath
OF the primrose tufts in the grass beneath
Upon thy heart there is laid spell
Holy and precous--ch guard it we'le
By The sleepy ripple Of the stream,
Which hath luld thee into mary dream,
BY The shver of the vy-leaves,
To the wind Of morn at thy casemene-caves;
BY the b. es' deep murmr in the lines,
BY The music Of the Sabbath.chimes
by every sound Of thy native shade,
Stronger and dearer the spell s made.
Rs the gathering round the winter hearth,
When twilight called unto household mirth
BY the fairy tale or the legend old
In that ring Of happy faces told;
BY the quiet hours when hearts unite
In the parting prayer, and the kind goodnight"
BY the smiling eye and the loving tone,
Over thy life has the spell been thrown.
And bless that gift lit hath gentle might.
guardian pow and guiding light!
It hath led the freeman forth to stand
In the mountain battles of his land;
1t hath brought the wanterer oer the seas,
To die on the hills of his own fresh breeze;
And back to the gates of his fathers hall,
1t hath won the weeping prodgal.
Yes L! when Thy heart in its pride werld strays
From the loves Of its guileess youth away;
When the sullying breath ofthe world would come
DER the flow ers it brought from its chdhoods home
Think thou again of the woody glade,
And the sound by the rustling ivy made,
Think of the tree at thy parents door,
And the kindly spell shall have power once more

The following is Judge Duer's address to Strang |

hin, 1t had perceptble effect upon the prisoner,
and the whole audience, appeared deeply impressed
with the awful solempty OF the occasion:

Grand Inquest of the county OF Albany, as Prlnci
pal felon in the murder of John Nhipple to which
indictment on your arrangement you pleaded Nol
Guilty, and for your del'yerance put yourseh upon
your country. The Jury selected from that coun-
try, for your trial. have found you Guilty, and 1t re-
mains only for the court to pass sentence OF death
against YOU. Have you augllt to say why the Juag-
ment Of the law should not be pronounced uponyou!
You say nothing. Nothing is to be said. The
crime for which you are to suffer is OF the deepest
: dye--the circumstances under which 1t was COM
mttcd are of the most atrocous character anu your
. ruilt has been most clearly established. BY your
own confession, you planned and executed the de-
struction of the deceased with the most deliberate
and peridious cruelty. Not with the feroclty Oh
