NEVER FEAR.


BY GOODWIN BARNEY.
Though the clouds are black as night,
Never fear!
Though the lightning's deadly bright,
Never fear
Though the thunderbolt is red,
Though the shaft of death is sped,
God is present overhead
Never fear !
Though the tyrant's axe is bright,
Never fear
Though the black cloud is in sight,
Never fear /!
Though foemsn is each knave,
Though coward is each slave,
God is with the freeman brave
Never fear !
Though the bigots' curses rise,
Never fear
Thongh the martyrs faggots blaze,
Never fear
Though they strive to cripple youth,
Though they treat good deeds with ruth,
God is ever with the truth
Never fear
Though the storm-god flaps his wings,
Never fear
Though the tempest death song sings,
Never fear!
In the clouds are blue specks fair,
Through the dark houghs blows an air,
God is present every where
Never fear

THE VAN NESS CASE DECIDED.

The Van Ness and Conner case has been de-
cided, and the petition of the applicant, Mrs Con-
ner, was dismissed. The Court granted the mo-
lion OF the counsel for the defence, and maintain
ed two propositions, viz: that in order to estab-
lish marriage, it was requisite to prove that the
contract was made in good faith, and that it was
followed by cOnsortio oite, and that in this case
no such evidence had been produced.
Mr. Brent Immediately declared, upon the de-
livery of this opinion, that he would appeal to a
Court where he could get justice--the Supreme
Court of the U. S. Some OF the ,lury also mani.
tested great dissatisfaction at the opinion because
it prevented them from acting on the circumstan-
tal evidence that had been adduced. 1t is said
that the jury would have been divided on the
question, had it been submitted to them. Wash
