PuNcH's CHARoE TO JuRrEs.-Gen,le.

TUNCHS CHARGE TO JURIEs.-Ge ntle~
men OF the jury You are sworn in ali
cases to decide according TO evidence; at
the same time. if you have any doubt,
you are bound 10 give the prisoner tho
benefit OF it. Suppose you have to pro-
nounce Oh the guilt or innocence of a gem
lleman accused Of felony. You will nat
uraily doubt whether, any true gentleman
would commit such offences accordingly.
however strong the testimony may be a.
ga'nss him, you will, perhaps acquit him.
The evidence Of your own senses is. a,
least as credible as that of the Witnesses
II. therefore, your eye,sight convinces
you that the prisoner is a well dressed
person. you have RICH. to presume his
responsibility; and it is for you 10 say
whether respectable person would be-
likely 10 be guilty of the crimes imputed
to him. In like manner, when YOU see a
shabby looking fellow in the dock, charp.
ed for example, with sheep-stea!iug, Tho
decision rests with you ffs,, whether or
not that individual is rag>muflin; and
secondly, how far it is probable that man
OF that description would steal Sheep
vi course as has been before said. you
will always be guided by the evidence;
bu. then. whether the evidence is trust
worthy or not is matter for your private
consideration. You may believe ii if you
choose. or you may disbelieve it; and
whether. gentlemen Of The jury, you will
believe it or drsbelieve it, will depend on
the constitution of your minds. If your
minds are so constituted that you wish 10
tind the prisoner guilty, perhaps you will
believe il; if they be so constituted that
you desire 10 find him not guilty-why
then. very likely, you will disbelieve it,
You are to free your minds from all pas
sion and prejudice if you can and, in that
case, your judgment will be unbiased;
but if you cannot, you will return ver-
dict accordingly. 1t is not, strictly speak.
ing. for you to consider what will be the
effect of your verdict; but if such a con-
sidera.ion should occur to you, and you
canno. help attending to it, that verdict
will be influenced by it 20 ) certain exssn..
retire, you will be locked up ill you con-
!rlve 10 agree. You may arrive a. unan>
unity by fair discussion, or BY some Of
you starving Out the others, or by tossing
up. and your conclusion, by whichever Of
these processes arrived at, will be more or
less in accordance with your oaths. Your
verdict may be right; it is TO be hoped il
will; it may be wrong it is to be hoped
it will not. At all events, gentlemen Of
The jury, you will come to some conclu-
sion OF olhe: unless it should 50 happen
to you that you should separate without
coming TO any.

BErs WADE AND 1.-The following

BErs WADE AND 1.-The following
story. says the Boston Transcript, has
long been favoriie in private circles, but
we are not aware that it has ever appeared
IN print. We believe it originated some-
where in the neighborhood Of old Cape
Ann. A traveller in stage coach over-
heard an old lady from the country thus
addressed her companion:
Friendship, Miss Bishop. is like a
spiders web the least breath of air will
destroy it. Bets Wade and wa. gals
together; all the difference was was
rich and Bets was poor. Well, one day,
Bets Got married, and there's no eend to
the things my husband did gin ibid not
give) that gal. He GIN her sights and
sights % things. He gin her great kee.
Ter tub and little keller tub. He gin her
t,co wooden bowls painted yaller outside
and red inside. He gin her churn and
churm dish too, Miss Bishop; and he
gin her peck of raisins and quart of
tea. and vet that ungra,eful wretch never
set foot inside our house for t,Uo years
One day as l was cading (carding) toe
before the the door-I never though, my.
self above cading toe, Miss Bishop-a
chaise drove up. Who should i. be but
Bets Wade! l thought that must be
polite in my own house, and so says |.
Bets come in.' She came in and she sot
down. Ny husband soon came in, hi,
him the wink not to speak TO Bets, and
that touched her up pretty well. for my
husband always sot everything by Bets
all the world and more TOO, sometimes -
She told him she had been living so long
in that seaport town Paw!ucket. she tho't
she must once more wait her country
friends. That seaport town Pawtucke.:
that made me mad, Miss Bishop It's no
more of a seaport town than Merrimac
River but Joe had lived too long in the
woods to be skeered by an owl, much
more by Bets Wade. Bets asked me il
l wouldn't give her some tea. | told her
l would if she'd wait till tea time come !;
SO went dozen into the cellar and gotta
pound of pound cake and a pound of short
cake. and two pounds Of sage cheese of
my own making-Bsss ., wiaaagse ,asMxessn1 al

and says H. Bets eat = and good Lord
she did eat! if she eat one moulhful she
eat tWo.pounds. should think the cri,er
hadn't eat anything for t,Do months. When
she was filled, she said she believed she
must 60, for she had an an,ic horse and a
new chaise. Antic horse and new
chaise! The horse wan. bigger than
Newfoundland dog, and they had TO tie
the poor creature 10 pos: 10 keep him
from tumbling down, and for the chase,
that was made in Adams day, and then
',want new no it never was new and if
Bets Wade ever got ride off that horse.

to take the poor cril.er into the chaise a.
