A Chapter FROM MISS PARpoE's SKETCHES.
A vast deal of very romantic andatlectlng
sentiment has been from time to time con-
mitted 10 paper, on the subject of the Trrk-
ish females drowned III the Bosphorus, ard
some tale writers have even gone so far as
to describe in the character Of Witnesses,
the extreme beauty and tue hcart-renderlng
tears of their victims.
The subject is assuredly one which lends
iisefto horid phrases and highl wrought Pc
RODS; but it is unfortunate. that in this case,
as in many others, the Imagination far out
runs the fact | say unfortunately, because
those readers who love to "sup full OF hor-
rors.' when they have swept over the al
fecting image of beauty struggling against
the grasp of the eSccutioner, and dark eyes
looking reproach upon their murderer from
amidst the deep waters which are soon to
ouench their light forever, do not like to de-
scond to the sober assurance that none o
these things can be: and that the veraciou'
cbronicIers, who have excited their sensI
bilties, and mislead their reason, have only
built up a pathetic sketch upon inference
and in reality, know nothing al all about th'
matter.
Pherc is no romance in one OF thes'
frignful executions--all is harsh, unmittl
gated horror. The victim may or may nc

Wbene'er sing Of thee
The snyrtle branches wave upon my brow,
And glorious memories throng around me now
The very name was once spell,-
A watch-worl in the earth
ayilh thee the arts first deigncd to dwell
And DER thy gentle hearth
The social shirt spread her cleaning wings;
And made il the glad home Of pure and lovely
things.
The snowy marble sprnng to life
Meath thy Promethcan touch;
The breeze with sunny song was rife;
(Where row awakens such y
All that was brightest, best, with thee was found,
And thy sons trod in pride thy classic ground
The burning eloquence which dips
lis torch in living FIRE,
Flowed, like n lava-tidc, from lips
That, from thr funeral pyre
OF by-pist ages pluckcd burning brand,

glorious land.
They tell me thou art nothing now
spuru the unholy thought!
The beam is yet upon thy brow
Which erst from heaven it caught
Let then the baneful, blghtihg mockcry cease!
Still art thou beautiful, my own fair Greece
Firm hearts and glowing souls remain
To love thee glorious one!
And though no hand may clasp again
Thy once celestial zone
BETTER to worship ut thy runined shrine,
Than bend the knee mt one less proud and pure
than thine!

Court begun and holden at Burlington
within and for the county of Chl'enden,
on the last Tuesday save one Of August,
A. d. 1885,
The Grand Jurors within and for the
body of he county of Chltenden aforesaid,
represent to The Court, that they have vl>l
tea and examined the Common Jail in
Burlington, and regret TO find that it yet
remnlns the subject Of the same complaint
which has been made by the Grand Jurors
tor some years past.
Though kept as well as ought to be ex>
pecled, considering it's bad construction
and dllapdaied state, it is, nevertheless,
offensive and unwholesome.
The Grand Jurors woud particularly
present to the Court the Cact. that there
are no separate apartments for male and
female inmates of the prison.
The rooms originally designed for the
detention of criminals and those charged
with crime. are SO darh damp and danger
Gus to health, that 1t has been found neces.
sary at times, to put such into the debtors
apartment, thus placing the unfortunate
the accused, and the guilty in immediate
association, while confined under the au.
tho''iy of the lao.
The state of the prisons in any country,
is justly considered criterion, by which
to Judge of the humanity and advance ir
civilization of tho people but presenting
as this Jail does, a melancholy exception
to the evidences Of the progress of civil
za' ION around it, we might well dread ;
Judgment founded upon such criterion here
From the present state OF public opinion
we are happy in feeling assured, that tb,
barbarous custom Of imprlsoning for debt
will be speedily done away, and no plac
of confinement be required for the homes

even those convicted Of crime, we canno
perceive the propriety of adding to tn
horrors Of close and solitary cell, tn
