THE LITTLE HAND.

BY FRANCES S. osGooD.
We wandered sadly round the ROOM
We missed the voices play,
That warbled through our hours of gloom,
And charmed the cloud away
We missed the footstep loved and light
The tiny twining hand
The quick arch smile so wildly bristit,-
The brow with beauty bland
We wandered sadly round the room,-
No relic could we find,
No toy of hers, to soothe our gloom
She left not one behind
But look there is a misty trace,
Faint, underlined and broken,
or fingers, on the mirrors face
A dear, though simple token!
A cterub handi-the child we loved
Had left It's impress there,
When first, by young Ambition moved,
She climbed the easy chair /;
She saw her own sweet self, and tried
To touch what seemed to be
So near, so beautiful aud cried,-
Why there's another me!'
Dear hand though from the mirrors face
Thy form did soon depart,
| wore its welcome, tender trace,
Long after in my heart!

until late on Friday night when officers
Wooley and Hoffman, who had been on the
lookout for him. met him going into his resi-
dence in Grove-st, with candle in one
hand, and young, beautiful, and respecta-
ably connected girl whose name we FOL bear

except by description. but they arrested him
and took him-to prison, whittier he was fol-

marriage, which was 10 have taken place on

Dougherty, who was fully aware that one
wife is all that is allowed by the law here,
wished TO rid himself of his frs: rib, and
packed her off into the country where she
at present remains. wholly ignorant of the
capers her husband has been cutting up here.
On Tuesday night, Doughery took Miss

going to get married then instead of Satur.

his own residence in Grove street where he

love and honor, fell his victim. On Friday
when she returned home, she stated TO the
family that she had been married the nigh,
before, and as she named the Minister, her
father believed her and said nothing about
il. On Saturday, however when he was
sent for to come to prison and see his daugh-
ter, the whole truth was told TO him, and
rushing at Dougherty with the ferosity of a
tiger, he would have killed him on the spot,
