it seems believed to be the real mother of
the pretended heir, has since that period
married respectable man who was entirely
ignorant of her misfortune until she was ,b-
puned to give her evidence, but who, with
a commendable philosophy consented, and
indeed insisted, that she should obey the pro-
cess of the law, disclose the whole truth, land
prevent the triumph of injustce.-Hc sat in
court while she gave her testimony, and re-
turned with her to their residence.
We arc informed that the fact that this
woman was at the house of Mrs. kimball, at
any time, or that any other female gave birth
to child there, was wholly unknown to the
defendants, or to any other person except
the Kimbal family, the Doctor and the pl-
tative father of the child until shortly before
the trial, when slight circumstance seized
upon and followed up by the sagacity of coun-
sci, led to the subpGning of the girl and her
seducer, and to the disclosure made by them
on the trial for the first time. We understand
the plaintiff and her witnesses came to court
in the confidence that the great secret was
unknown to the defendants, and that the ST.
tuation of all who had possession of it render
cd disclosure impossible.
How dIscouraging then, is the moral which
this case presents, to all who contemplate
the commission of frauds, in the hope that
the most wary caution will secure them from
ultimate detection And how appalling is the
mass of legal and moral crime that in this
case may have been committed LIST. A cri-
minal conspiracy to effect an unlawful object.
I'd. A legal crime in the false personaton of
an heir. Sd. Perjury of the deepest and
blacklist dye; and possibly the murder ofthc
girl, by dcpriving it of its natural nourish-
ment, and committing it to an unnatural
mother.
Surely, the lessons taught in our courts Of
justice arc powerful dissuasivcs to all who are
inclined to enter upon career of vice and
crime,

the present work, which is written in the pu-
rest Hebrew, anf a fidelity highly crcditable
to the eminent scholar who has been SO long
engaged in the work.--Thc preface to the
Hebrew edition speaks of it as having been
brought from Jerusalem with other sacred
rolls and manuscripts, at the destruction of
that city, and carried into Spain, where the
Jews had their most celebrated colleges to
the eleventh, century. On the discovery of
printing, the manuscript was copied and car
ried to Venice, where it was printed by Or
der of the Jewish Consistory of Rabbins in
1913, and is now for the first time translated
into thc English language and published.
The Royal Asiatc Society had copy in
Calcutta, and gave orders to the Rev. Mr..
Adams to translate it; but it was abandoned
on hearing that translation was already III
progress. 1t IS full of interest, and written
with warmth of picty and sacred devotion
worthy of taking an equal rank with any of
the Missing books not strictly canonical. 1t
does aot differ with the Bible in a single in

Scripture, with the single difference in clro-
noloy Of some SO years, by making Noah

with he creation of Adam, and ending with
the death of Joshua. Joscphus refers to this
book and the great Mcndclsolln extracts CO.

ic and published in England. Professor
Stewart has lately reviewed it. The dis

BY any narrow mind.
The very horses knew his weight
When he was in the rear,
And wished his box Christmas box,
To come but once year.
Alas against the shafts of love,
What arlnur can avail
Soon Cupid sent an arrow through
His scarlet coat of mail.
The harmaid of the Crown he loved,
From whom lac never ranged;
For though he changed his horses there,
lis love he never changed.
lie thought her fairesi of the fares,
So fondly love prefers;
And of ten, amongst the twelve outsides,
Deemed no outside like hers.
One day, MS she was sitting down
Beside the porter pump,
lie came and >nclt with ali his iu',
And made an oilcr plump.
Said she any taste will never run
70 like so huge man;
So must beg you viii come here
As little as you cun."
But still he stoutly urged his suit,
With vows, and signs, and tears,
Yet could not pierce her heart, although
lie drove the Dart for years.
In vain he woocd, in vain he sued,
The maid was cold and proud,
And sent him off to Coventry
While on his way to Stroud.
He fre,ted all the way TO Stroud,
And thence all back to town;
The course Of love was never smooth,
So his went up and down.
At last her coldnoss made him Pine
To merely bones and skin;
But still he loved like one resolved
To love through thick and thin.
"Oh, Mary! view my wasted back,
And see my dwndled calf;
Though have never had wife,
I've lost my better half"
Alas in vain he still assailed-
Her heart wlthstood the dlnt;

Worn out at last he made vow
To break his beings link
For he was so reduced in size,
At nothing he could shrink.
Now some will talk in waters praise,
And waste Il deal of breath
But John, though he drank nothing else,
He drank himself to death.
The cruel maid that caused his love.
Found out the fatal close;
For, looking in the butt, she saw
The buttend Of his woes.
Some say his spirit haunts the Crown,
But that is only talk;
For after riding all his life,
His ghost objects TO walk,

With moanless fow

And there alone
He gszed upon the lcajen stream,
And feared to punge---l heard scream,
And he was gone.
And then form in manhood's strength,
Come busting on, till there at length
He saw life's bound
He shrunk and raised the bitter PRAYER
Too late-his shrek Of wild despair
The waters drowned.

Back turned his dimming eye, aud sank,
All foil Of fears.
How bitter must thy waters be.
