The history of his life is like story of
romance. Like the Paladins Of old, he
won the heart Of his bright lady-love by
years of perilous toll, and only won her
to see death snatch the prize from his bo-

love. Many Of his personal friends had
been tempted to settle in the colony, and
when Mexican army oyerran The Goun-
try and drove back the inhabitants by fire
and sword, he eagerly FASTENED to their
aid. 1t is said that his horse gave out,
and no Other being oblalnable, he walked
thirty miles to join The army at San ia

In 1919, the following agreement was
entered INTO by the governor, deputy
governor and magistrates of new Hamp-
shire, to discountenance that sinful prac-
lice ofwearing long hair:
"Forasmuch as the wearing of long
hair, after the manner of rullans and bar
barous Indians, has begun TO invade New
England, contrary to the code Of Gods
word, which says it is a shame for man
to wear long hair. as also The commend
able costume generally Of all the godIy OF
our nation until within this few years.
We, the magistrates, who have subscrib-
ed this paper, (lor the showing of our in.
nocency in this behalf do declare and
manifest our dislike and dples,alion
against the wearing of such long hair, as
against thing uncvil and unmanly,
whereby men do deform themselves and
offend sober and modes, men, and do
corrupt manners. We do, therefore,
earnestly entreal all the elders of this ia.
dietary, (as often as they shall see cause)
10 manifest their zeal against it in their
public administrations, and to take care
that the members Of their respective
churches be not dcfled herewith, that
so, such as prove obstinate and will not
reform themselves, may have God and
man to witness against them"

Circunlsiuuiiol Evidence.

Mrs. Childs, in her Letters from New
York. gives an account of poor Ger
man youth, an emgrant, who was hung
in tina, city, for crime of which he was
not guilty.
A few years ago, poor German came
10 New York, and took lodgings, where
he was allowed to do his own cooking in
the same room with the family. The
husband and wife lived in perpetual
quarrel. One day the German came into
The kitchen with clasp knife and pan
Of potatoes, and began 10 pare them for
his dinner. The quarrelsome couple were
in more quarrelsome alteration than usu.
al, but he sat with his back toward them,
and being ignorant of their language, felt
in no danger of being involved in their
disputes. But the woman, with sudden
and unexpected movement, snatched the
knife from his hand and plunged it into
her husbands heart. She had sufficient
presence Of mind TO rush into the street
and scream murder.
The poor foreigner, in the meanwhile,
seeing the wounded man reel, sprang for
ward to catch him in his arms and drew
out the knife. People from the street
crowded in, and found him with the dy-
ing man in his arms, the knife in his hand,
and the blood upon his clothes. The
wicked woman swore in the most posi-
tive terms that he had been quarrcling
with her husband, and had stabbed Him
with knife he always carried. The un-
fortunate German knew too little of En-.
glsh 10 understand her accusation, or tell
his story. He was dragged of to prison,
and the true state of the case made known
through an interpreter: but Il. was not be-
lieved. Circumsanlial evidence was ex-
ceedingly strong against the accused and
the real criminal swore that she saw him
commit the murder.
He was executed, notwithstanding the
persevering effort of his lawyer, John An
thon, Esq, whose convictions olthe mans
innocence were so painfully strong, that,
from that day to this, he has refused TO
have anything to do with acapital case.
Some years after this tragic event, the
woman died, and on her death bed, con-
iessed her agency in the diabolical trans
action; but her poor victim could receive
no benefit from her repentance. Society
had wanlonly thrown away its power to
atone for the grevious wrong.
The results of the late foot races in
New York, show that our coun,rymen
are no match for Englishmen in that kind
OF work. We supposed tina, fact TO have
been satisfactorily established years ago.
