A Singular Request of a Man Con
demmed TO be Hung.

Since the conviction of Conrad Vintner, for the
murder of Mrs. Cooper, in Baltimore county, Ma
ryland, and his confinement in his cell, awaiting
the expiation of his crime upon the gallows, he
passes most of his leisure time in performing on
the accordeon. Fearing that all hope for the
commutation of his punishment from the forfeiture
of his life upon the gallows to the Penitentiary
for life is in vain, he is composing dirge which
he asks permission to perform, on his way from
his cell to the place of execution. A most sngu-
lar request truly, and one which will no doubt be
readily complied with.

III SPLITTING THE DIFFERENcE.-A nice
young gentleman, not thousand miles from
this, after long and assidious courtship. found
himself, one brigh. evening the betroihed Of a
pretty girl, the very pink of modesy. One
nigh, he was abou, 10 take his departure, and
after lingering about the door for some time in
fdget of anxiety. declared and protested TO
Miss Nancy, lha. he could no, and would not
leave until she kissed him. OF course, Miss
Nancy blushed beautifully red, and protested
in turn, tha. she could not and would not do
that. She never had done such thing and
never would until she was married--so now he
had it. The alteration and debate became dee
per and exciting. until the belrothed d bufed out
right, and declared if he couldn't kiss her he
couldn't have her-and was marching of.
She watched him TO the gate, and saw the
fat was in the fire." unless something was
done.
IS Come back, then, said she eoaxingly, "I'll
split the difference with you-you may, squeeze
my hand -
