told him, with an air of secrecy, that her

sought other company, frequently passing
his evenings from home, which made her

Hutton to be wise man. she thought he

husband was cured. He no longer sought
the company Of others, but treated her with
constant love and kindness.

finally to the accusation of wilfnl murder

The evidence, as given before the com.

passionate expressions used by the prisoner
indicative of desire to be avenged on the

SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL.
MAY MORNING.

Over this title appears, in Graham's
Magazine for May, mezzotint, which the
editors inform their readers is "one of the
most splendid specimens of art ever pub
lished." 1t represents young lady in very
low necked night gear, reclining on a
couch, her head resting upon the palm Of
her right hand, and upon the bed large
book which she appears TO be reading. The
only indication of "morning" about the
picture is slight glimmer of day on the
horizon seen through the open easement.
We never saw SO bold an attempt to impose
on the public as this same picture exhibits.
The design is beautiful, but the artist never
could have been so insane as to paint a
blooming girl in bed to represent May
morning. The publishers must have
thought with Juliet
THAT which we call a rose,
By any other name would smell as sweet;"
and accordingly affixed to their embelish-
ment the name Of "May morning"t to which
it bears about as much resemblance as a
cabbage does to rose. 1t is evidently got
up to save the expense of an engraving
more appropriate to the season.
GopEy's Book is far superior TO Graham.
His "Rose and Lily" is beautiful engra-
wing, really emblematical Of the season-as
is also, the "Maying Plate" in the same
book.
