= julie appeared 50 wretched, that
Madame Mulner consented to accom-
pany her. In vain, however, was her
intercession; Madame B. would not lis,
ten, to Julie, but ordered her instantly
to collect her clothes and never appear
before her again. Madame Mulner
endeavored to speak a few words in her;
favor, but with a glance Of contempt
Madame B. turned from her and enter
ed another apartment. ''
"Come with me-" said the irritated
Madame Molner, u will send by and
by for your things" 90 '., '.' y {.
She seized jules hand and carried
her off, while She, overcome with grief
at being SO roughly dismissed, lost all
recollection Of the fatal borrowed Pei
crime. & 1'
Seated at the bar Of court Of JUS
tice, is young girl, her head sunk upon
her bosom, her hands clasped at her
knees, and SO pale, so motionless as to
resemble marble statue OF Grief. She
had been weeping, but the tears had
dried upon the cheeks they had wither-
ed. A curious crowd We're around her,
gazing on her with various sentiments,
among which, however, compassion pre-
vailed. 7'
"Poor child" said an old man, they
say she is already Condemned"
She is pretty" said another, but
what pity, she is 50 pale" ~
".Of what is that young girl accused?'
asked another who had just entered the
hall. This was addressed to an orange
woman. who had left her shop to the
care Of a neighbor, that she might SOON
er learn the determination of the jury,
who were shut up deliberating the case.
"They say she replied" the young
girl is accused Of stealing an embroider-
ed Pelerine from The lady for whom she
was working. A friend Of the accused
atfirms, on oath, The, unhappy girl only
boriowed'it TO wear one evening, with
1.-The intention Of replacing it, and was
about to send it back when she was ar
rested, on the suit Of that wicked woman
whom you see there. But let me tell
you, she viii fare The worse for having
brought that poor child here, merely on
account Of vile piece of flowered mus
| lin !"
aMon Dieup exclaimed an old SOL
dier, gazing at the accused, "iti is Mad
emoiselle Julie, the daughter of our
colonel, who was Killed at Wagtam p
and ,dashing the tears from his eyes, he
disappeared from the court. '
While the audience in the courtroom
were thus occupied gazing upon, and
talking about the unfortunate Julie, the
Jury were busily weighing the case, and
lat last felt forced, by the laws, and by
| their consciences to condemn her. One
| iurymen alone listened in silence and
earnest attention to all which had been
said, and felt great regret that one SO
young, and hitherto 50 good, should have
her young dayyssso cruelty blasted, mere
" for moment Of vanity, and without
having committed a premeditated fraud.
He addressed the jury with fervor, and
the holy eloquehce- Of charity spoke to
thei, hearts, softehed the rigor Of JUS
'tice, and at length every one concurred
il the opinion Of the defender Of Julie.
AS the jury entered the court a solemn
silence prevailed. The foreman stood
forth, and declared the case had been
faithfully examined, and the Jury now
pronounced the accused dcquitted.
90 Thunders Of applause burst from ev-
cry voice and every heart around. A
young man rushed, through The crowd
and stood beside julie. She started on
hearing his voice, and crying -"Oh, |
am not thief~ fell insensible into the
arms Of Gustave, and the crowd gave
way as he passed out with his tender
burden. Madame Mulner joined them,
whispering, !" A carriage awaits US be-
fore the, court, houses" and the party
disappeared from The eyes Of the joyful
and Commissioning spectators.
The above narrative was obtained
from the compassionate juryman, who
had the pleasure Of saving. the young
girl from a sentence Of infamy. He
has often said, that was the happiest day
Of his life. i..,.,, y ,NI,'.. }.s5 +.
