Why is il, in fact, that the tone of NOR
atty in the high places of society is 50
lax and complaisant, but for want of The
independent and indignant rebuke of sos
ciety! There is reproach enough poured
upon drunkenness, debauchery, and dis
honesty of the poor man. The good peo-
pie who go TO him can speak plainly-av,
very plainly, of his evil ways, Why is
1t, then, that fashionable vice is able to
hold up its head, and sometimes to occu
py the front ranks of society! II is be-
cause respectable persons of hesitating
and compromising virtue keep it in connle.
nance. 1t is because timid woman strets
ches out her hand to the man whom she
knows to be the deadliest cnem. of morx
atty and of her sex, while she turn cold
eve upon the victims he has ruined 1t is
because there is no body TO speak plainly
in cases like these. And do yo think that
society is ever to be regenerated or purix
fled under the influence of these unjust
pusillanimous compromises! | tell you

BALTIMORE COUNTY CeURT.-The case
of Peter Bond, tried in this court on Sat
urday last, was one Of which the details
were truly hearl-rending. The prisoner
who appeared TO be about fifty years of
age, was indicted fog the murder of his
wife, with whom he had lived in the en-
ioyment of conjugal, affeetioa and happi~
ness for a number d years, and by whom
he had nine children, the Youngest of whom
was about two years old at the time of
the alleged murder The particulars of
the transaction we're detailed by two of
his own daughters, who appeared to be be-
tween Ia and l7years, and were the only
persons present of the commission of the
deed. The prisoner lived near Reis,ers>
town, and one morning in the latter part
of September last, he was sitting quietly
on the side of his bed, md his wife sitting
close by, sewing, with her back toward
him, when he, unperceited. took from
uDderthe beds axe. with which ne struck
her violent bow on the head, his daugh>
ter interferedand took the axe from HIM.
but he recovered it again, and repeated
the blows, which occasioned her immedi-
ate death. He manifested no alarm, but
left the house, and returned in the even
ing, and was met by his son, near the
house. who asked him where he had been,
and be replied that he had been almost TO
Baltimore. The defence set UP by his
counsel was INSANITY, and a number of
witnesses were examined by them to sup-
port the defence, and so conclusive was
the evidence on that point, that the jury
acquitted him without leaving their box,
upon the plea of insanity, and in pursu.
ance of he act of 1888. Oh. 1877. which
provides that when any person indicted
Tor misdemeanor, sets up the plea of lu
macy or insanity, it shall be the duty OF
the jury to find whether such person was
lunatlc or insane at the time of the cnmo
mission of the act, and still is Innate =
IL rs the duty Of the Court, under the pro-
visions of the said act to cause him TO be
seat to the alms~house of the county. or
the hospital, there To he kept until dis
charged nv the course Of law.
In the same Court, at this term. an in
dlctment was found against man named
Knight, and another named LytIe. for the
murder of the wife of Height. which has
been continued until the mex, term of the

THE CHOSEN FAIR.
Tune.-"sottn.on alRail."
When cupid with his fatal dart,
Fills with Thrilling pangs the heart,
OF some young beau caught-in the snare,
OF sonoc chosensfair,
Of some chosen fairs
or some chosen fair
Of some young beau caught in the snare
OF some chosen fair.
His bosom swells with every beat,
Whenever he the loved one meet,
Hevows at last he will declare
His love r..his chosen fair, sc.
With boots, and tights, and ruffied breast,
Thus. nicely fixed, quite in his best,
With small brim hat and ear locks bare
He seeks his chosen fair, &c.
This smooth faced beau, with kid.gloyed
hands,
And gold-head cane-his maiic wand,
With would~be bouyant step lie dare
Visit his chosen fair, &c.
With cane in hand, trips thro' the streets,
And ;wirling every chip he meets,
Till opposite the dwelling where,
Lives his chosen fair, SIC.
First lightly knocking al the door,
Then little harder than before;
The door fy's ope--upon him stare,
The maid Of his chosen fair, &c.
Come, walk in sir the maid quick cries,
Git seems to me YOUR in disguise,)
Please take that seat and sit down there,
And wait for your chosen far, &c.
The maid then leaves him TO his wits,
He in his chair uneasy sits,
Goes to the glass to brush his hair,
Still waits for his chosen fair, &c.
But now the softest tread is heard,
And Miss trips in-fne plamagcd bird,
Good morning sir, heard you were
In wait for chosen fair, &c.
ETHEREAL Sylph! exclaimed the beau;
How long been wsiting--do not know,
But waiting naught-for things so rare

About the chosen fair, DC.

Has in:your heart her work begun;
If SO, pray tell me-now declare
Who IS your chosen fair, &c.
How blest indeed, must that one BIO,
Who with her charms enraptures thee;
Must be in truth the fairest fair,
If she's thy chosen fair, &c.
'Tis you, the stripping fam would say,
But boundless JOY took speech away;
He could say naught-he could but stare
Al his loved chosen fair, &c.
pray YOU tell me who's so blost;
Said she-still smiling at TIE jsst,

Your smiles for that chosen fair, &c.
