TRIAL.-Fhe Boston Atlas tells MS nj
one OF the most interesting but awful cases in
the record OF crime, which was tried before the
supreme Judicial Court, at the recent session
IN Berkshire. George Norris was indicted
Tor an infamous assault on a female. lust turn
ed OF fifteen years, and that female was his
own daughter. She herself was of course the
principal witness in the case, and the labor O,
counsel was directed to the enquiry, whether
1t was fabricated charge, combining conspi-
racy and perjury of the most foul degree. OF
was true recital of q wrong most abhorren,
and detestabie. The Atlas gives the follow
ing particulars.
The child herself was little else than san.
gel ruined" The publicity ofthe accusation
had brought her into general notoriety, and
vlllalny had marked her for his own. What
ever she might have been before this occur
renee, she appeared on the witnesses stand
but as fallen spirit. Yet there was a per-
sonai beauty In her appearance, and an acute
ness and selt-possession in her replies, that for
the moment forbade suspicion; and, indeed. il
the story could have been fabrication, it was
conceived and proclaimed with fertility OF
invention hardly possible to belong to beino
OF her sex and age.
Although more than year had elapsed be-
tween the time the alleged deed and the time
Va eiiais llllle cEedtuFc-Onc OF the
smallest specimens Of a woman-had hardly
lost the simplicity of an infant, and while re-
citing her story, was overwhelmed with the
agony other situation. She had not yet :.lost
her original Brightness
The inquiry was most painful one; man
on trial for his life on the accusation of his
own child, repeating her story under the SOL
emnity OF an oath he defending himself on
the ground that this wretched being was gull
~ OF gross perjury with intent to take his life,
and destitute OF all that moral principle which
ne ne had been at no pains to impress upon her
The thousand incidents that seemed to require
explanation nhis part; the wonder that such
an accusation could be made at all,-could be
invented with all these incidents, if false
could be persisted i'll without motive, and sub
stantIally adhered to at ali times, the startling
nature OF discrepancies that arose in the in
genlous cross-examination, the bias, now
this way, and now that, ola GREATNESS and
crowded auditory; the tear which more-than
once glistened in the eye of the woman Jury,
might have formed a study for the observer
OF human nature, unequalled in the records OF
justice.
The jury acquitted the prisoner Whether
the public voice confirmed their verdict is
much more doubtful. One thing is certain ;
the child had better met her death in the sup
posed field other shame, or passed to another
world In the presence of the Court.

What brings the bright and shining leaf,
The scarlet Poppy wears,
A consolation for our grief,
a solace fer our cares;
The ancients wreathed the brows of sleep,
With the rich Poppy flowers,
For slnmber dries the eyes that weep,
And pictures happier hours;
And in its scarlet blossom rests
healing balm for wounded breasts.
Yes-fowers have tones-God gave to oac
language of its own,
And babe the simple blossoms teach
Where'er its seeds are sown;
His voice is on the mountains height
And by tho rivers side,
Where flowers blush in glowing light,
In Lowliness or Pride;
We feel DER all the blooming sod,
1t Is the language Of our God.
He spreads the earth an open book
In characters of life,
All where the human eye doth look
Seems with mis- glory rife;
He paints upon the burning sky
In every cleaning star,
The wonder of his homes on high,
Shining to faith afar;
His voice is in the tempest's wrath,
And In the soft south zephyr's path.
For us, frail, feeble things of clay,
Are all these beauties given,
The glorious, widespread orb of day,
And the bright starry heaven;
The far stretched waters, and the land,
The mountain, and the plain,
These are the free gifts of his hand,
And shall they plead in vain?
Rocks, hills and flowers, their homage pay,
And shall we worship less than theye
No-from the green enameled sod
Let the SOULS praises rise,
The living temple of our God,
Arch'd by his own blue skies.
There, let thy grateful praise be heard,
There, let thy prayers be given,
And with the hymns Of flower and bird,
They shall ascend to heaven,
And sooner reach the eternal bowers
Breathed over beds of blushing flowers.

busy with politics that he really had no time
to pay his DEvoIRs to the lady and her proper.

wen, the Duke visited the lady, and exam
med her face, form and carriage, with more
attention than he ever had done before. You
know that one gets so familiar with ones cou-
sin that one scarcely knows, till somebody
points it out, whether she be handsome or moi.
Now Made. de Broglie is very pretty. She

private dancing Is not very much better. Then
her hgure-it is perfection. She dresses with
exquisite taste. Her eyes are the BRIGHTEST
hazel--her check the most peach-like in bloom.
Her teeth, too, are an exception to the teeth Of
Parlslan ladies in general. Seeing all this.
the Duke wondered he had been so blind be-
fore, and applauded the taste Of his friend
Gulzot. He visited this pretty cousin so Of

chief was that NJ. Guizot was every day ask

Inc Duke loved his fair cousin, she loves him,
he forgot NJ. Guizot, and sued for himself
The marriage will shortly be celebrated.
The moral is that when people want to get
married, they should not WOO by deputy,

COUNTING BY PRoxY.-'The Paris cores
pendent of the New York Star relates the fol-
lowing story in his last published letter:
A pretty piece Of scandal-no, it does not
quite belong to the Scandalous Chronicle
but a piece ofiove strategy has recently made a
noise here, and has become the talk of the
saloons. Letme add, EN- PAssANT, that bit
of scandal is now here received with more
GoUr than in the saloons Of Paris--no, not even
in the drawing-roons of New York But to
my tale.
The Due de Broglie, is widower-so is
Mr.. Guizot. The Due had one wife, namely.
the daughter Of Madame ID. Stael NJ. Guizat
had two. The Duc's first venture had been
SO happy that he was not disinclned to make a
SECOND. NJ. Guizot, being bold man, thought
he would make third trial OF matrhnony.
Now in happens that the Due dc Broglie
and NJ. Guizot, as leading politicians in this
vile de Paris, are very intimate. Therefore
Guizot knew that the Due had a pretty cou-
sin, one Madernoiselle de Broglie, who has a
very pretty property in her own nght--about
$4,000 year, which is not to be sneezed at,
especially in Paris, which does not boast very
