Where near at hand, from streams bright bed,
A lovely, broad leaved lilly threw,
Above the waters ts snowy head.

(The words ran high and were bitter as gsli)
For Lilly said red was unseemly TO wear,
And Rose said white was no color at all.

And ehided them both in accents meek;
With sorrow aud shame the flowers were mute,
And ihenceiOrlh blended Oh womans check!

between his wife and his brother. He also

Their better than she did hun He likewise
expressed his determination to kill his brother
if he did not cease his visits.
Alter the murder, one OF the witnesses met
the prisoner and asked him how he was? Will

why? Williams said e'bccauSe he had killed his
wife-he said he would Kill her, and he had
done it." He assigned reason for it to the
witness which would not be proper to state
Besides the prisoners confession, the testimony
was circnmstantially strong, indicating the
