time the evidence did not appear to touch the pris-
oner at all, and he looked about him with the most
perfect unconcern, seeming to think himself quite
safe At last the surgeon was called, who stated
that deceased had been killed by shot, gun shot
in the head, and he produced the matted hair and
stuff cut from and taken out Of the wound. 1t was
all hardened with blood. A basin Of warm water
was brought into court, and as the blood was grad

A True Story.

There lived some years ago, in the town Oh,
in Connecticut, a man who was much addicted to
the practice of converting others property to his
use and benefit without it, or and. The cIer-
gyman of the town suspecting him of making too
free with his hay, had one night concealed himself
in his barn with dark lantern. The thief soon
appeared and tying up bundle, had just left the
premises, when the Reverend owner, instead of
bawing You scoundrell you what do you mean
by stealing my hay! disengaged the candle from
the lantern and dexterously applied it to the com
bustible load The bundle was soon in light
blaze, and the unucky fellow suspecting that he
was pursued by some person with light, laid his
feet to the ground with uncommon agility. But
il was in vain to escape the pursuing fire. The
blaze increasing brighter as he ran, seemed to his
terrified imagination to come nearer Than ever; til
venturing to look round to discover the extent OF
his danger, he perceived to his astonshment tha
the stolen hay was on fire. How it came so, puz-
zed him not a little. But the conscious guilt as
sisted his natural creduty; be settled down upor
the conclusion that the fire was sent down from
heaven to admonish him for his transgresson.-
Full Of this alarming notion, he gave himself NJ
rest until he had gone to the parson, and made
confession of the crime and related the warming
from heaven. The Reverend gentleman humor
ed his creduty, under the idea that it might re
| form his life. He was not mistaken; for the blaZ
| ing hay made so deep an impression on the fel
lows mind, that from henceorlh he forsook his e
vii course, became a valuable member in society
s. was united to the flock of the judicious clergy
man who had assisted so materially in his refor
nation. He finally died an honest man, in the firm
belief of the interpositon of Providence, in set
ting fire to the stolen hay. The parson kept tn
secret till the poor man was laid in the duets bu
then, even the clerical tongue could not resist tn
desire of communicating so curious an incident.

As Speaker in Congress, he gave great license to rowdy

His greatest claims are that he is in favor of the mme-

SOUTH Observation-Disclosures MOVEMENT
We learn on authority not to be doubted, that COL
Memminger, widely known as distinguished
statesman of South Carolina, is making Jealous
exertions to have a law passed requiring masters
to have their slaves educated. A movement will
be made on the subject at the next legislature.
Col. Memminger is citizen of Charleston, amen
Der of the legislature, and highly popular. With
in year or two he has become professor of re-
lgon, and this movment Of his, would seem to be
actuated by the best motives. AS might be expect
ed he encounters great opposition, but not with

Calls thee in beauty from the dust;
Thou contest in the morning light

In dreams meet thee as of old.
Then thy soft arms my neck enfold,
And thy sweet voice is in my ear;
In every scene to memory dear

In every hallowed token round;
This little ring thy finger bound
This lock of hair thy forehead shaded,
This silken chain by thee was braided;
These flowers, all withered now like thee,

This book was thine-here dist thou read
This picture, all yes here indeed,
see thee still

Here was thy summer moons retreat,
This was thy favorite fires ide seat,
This was thy chamber, where each day,
sat and watched thy sad decay;
Here, on this bed thou last did lie;
Here, on this pillow, thou ddst diel

Thou art not in the tomb confined;

Let earth close DER its sacred trust,
Yet goodness dies not in the dust.

Thou to fairer land art gone
There, let me hope, my journey done
To see thee still
