THE FALTHLEIsS HUSBAND
PERcIvAL,

PERcIvAL.
He comes not---I have watch'd the moon so
down,
But yet he comes not---once it was not so.
He thinks not how these bitter tears doth flow,
The while he holds his riot in that town.
Yet he will come, apd chide, and shall weep;
And he will wake my infant from its sleep,
To blcnt, is fcc,sie. vaiiis'ss with my tears.
O! how loy3 a mothers watch to keep,
Over those Sleeping eyes, that smile, which
cheers
NV heart, though sunk in sorrow, fixed and
deep.
had a husband once, WHO loved mc---now
He ever wears frown upon his brow,
And feeds his passion on wanton's lip,
AS bees, from laurel Bowers poison sip;
But yet cannot hate---O! there were hours,
When l could hang forever on his eye,
And time, who stole with silent swiftness by,
Strewed, as he hurried on, his path with
flowers.
lov'd him then---hc loved me too---My heart
Still finds its fondness kindlc, it he smile:
The memory of our loves will ne'er depart;
And though he often stung me with a dart,
Venom'd and barb ID, and wastes upon the vile
Caresses, which his babe and mine should
share;
Though he should spurn me, will calmly
bear
His madness---and should sickness come,
and lay
Its paralyzng hand upon him, then
/ would with kindness all my wrongs repay
Until the penitent should weep and say,
How injured and how faithful had been.

TRIAL OF REV. E. Il. AVERY.

Having announced 10 our readers that
we sent Reporter to Newport for the
furnishing us daily accounts OF the trial
of the Rev. E. X. Avery, on a charge OF
Murder, we cannot better explain the
reasons which will prevent our publishing
these accounts daily, than by inserting
the preliminary proceedings, against the
publication, of which there can be no
possible objection. As soon as the trial
is finished, we shall lose no time In pre-
senting lit the public.
Reported for the Mercury.
THE REV. L. X. AVERY.
Supreme Judicial court of Rhode lis
and and Providence Plantat ons, held at
Newport.
Before Chief Justice Eddy, Judge
Charles Brayton and Judge John Durfee
Monday May 9th 1888.
The court assembled this morning al
the hour often. Shortly after the Judges
had taken their seats MIR. Avery was
ushered in. He bowed respectfully te
the bench, and his bearing was hrT
and collected thoug 9Th his countenanct
was somewhat worn, and his general ap
pearance not indicative of health.
The Attorney General, Albert Z
Greene, Esquire, moved tn at the trial Q, o.
the prisoner proceed or that time be
ASSIGNED for the same. The court ex
pressed its willingness to proceed imme
diately, provided there was no objection
on the part of the prisoner.
Richard K. Randolph, Esquire, one o
the prisoners Counsel, then suggested tn
propriety, in this instance, OF making
pannel sat large," as otherwise it nigh
5e impossible to procure Jury. In
, proposition was acceded TO and an Al
iournment was agreed upon for the pur
pose of effectingit it. The prisoner Is en-
) titled to twenty pcremptory challenges.
A further application was made b

house; both were hurried off to the boat
without any other covering than their
night clothes. 1t was now after mid
night when they took to their oars to re-
turn again, passed the feet i'll safety, and
landed on the main just at day light
During the passage, Prescott became We
ry chilly, and Barton at the risk Of the
loss of the expedition, gave him his great
coat and exposed his uniform. The wa
ter was so low that the boat could not
approach near enough to the shore for
the party to jump on dry land, and they
had to wade knee deep through black
mud before they could get on the beach.
Prescott's and Barrington's legs appear
ed tightly booted, and in that situation
were placed in carriage wi tn the Colo
mel and one or two of his companions,
to be conveyed to a place OF safety
Just as the sun arose they came to the
high grounds, from whence was a full
| view of the Britiah fleet and army. Bar
rington turning to Barton, exclaimed, by
Cd, sir, you have achieved gallant
action. Prescott observed sullen- 81

prisoners. They did not much relish
their curiosity, and complained OF thelI
ill manners. Barton replied that they
must excuse his countrymen, as they
were not often used to such sights. he
received a vote of thanks and supert
sword from Congress. Lee was soon al
ter exchanged for Prescott. But, alas!
the ingratitude of republics. Col Bar
ton was, in helpless old age, immured
for years in prison in the State OF Yer
mont, by the very people whose battles
he had fought until, released by the gene
rosity of the feeling and good La Fay
cite. This disgraceful fact is enough
to stain the judicial annals of any State
and speaks louder than ten thousand ar
guments in favor Of abolishing the Van
dial and barbarous practice OF imprison
ment for debt. There is no create
truth than that imprisonment is too mil
punishment for rugue and too sever
for an honest man. J.

Mr.. Randolph, that the court would di-
rect the sheriff to summon the PANEL
from different parts of the county. The
court refused its interference represent
ing that it was matter to be left entirely
to the sheriff's discretion.
Mr.. Randolph then addressed the bench
in respect to the line of conduct to be
pursued by the New York, Boston, and
other reportera. With the consent ofthc
Attorney General, and of the parties
concerned, the amplesr possible accom-
modations had been made for these gen.
tlepen by Mr.. Mason. the clerk of the
court, but in as much as itwould be high
ly injurious that any report of the trial
should go forth to the public before a
verdict was rendered, and as such a
step was opposed to the views both of
the government and of the counsel, he
should move the court to grant an order
that no publication of any minutes be
allowed till verdict should be returned.
The court said that they could not
Issue such restriction as an order but
that the accommodations for the repor-
tiers had been provided on the express
understanding that they would undertake
to withhold any publication for the per-
| iod required.
The Reporters present declared them
selves ready to enter into the obligation,
provided such restriction were placed
on all other Reporters, resident or from
distance, as would place them in fair
position towards each other in point of
ultimate publication.
The Court said the restriction would
apply indiscriminately and equally to
the Reporters in the State of Rhode ISL
and all others, and that the accommo-
dations would be furnished to those who
declined acceding to the terms proposed.
These pledges having been given by
the attending Reporters, the Court adj
ljourned until o'clock tomorrow morn
ing.
The counsel for the State are,-the
