Next morning the jury went into COURT and gave, to
the astonhment of many the verdict of not guilty.
The juryman who played unsuccessful game for hu-
man life, still lives, much respected citizen of this

member of the Memphis bar, and the accused has. as
believe, gone to higher court; but neither of

marveed at the verdict, eighteen years ago have ever

For the Spy.
The Union in Worcester.


Can anybody tell us, Mr.. Editor, when the wings of
Worcester are going to hold their ,tng ''to the
Union." Boston folks getting geaty ahead of the
wings Of Worcester. They have ''saved the Union
In Boston, and have their attorneys coporteurng
'doaUa east the State o. Maine ''to the Uaon'
there.
Really, Mr.. Editor, it is high time that the wings of
Worcester got together and let off some patriotism
Their reputation loyal citizens is sinking daily, and
will continue to sink till they get together and proclaim
to Mr. Webster and his friends and to the South that
slave hunting is not unpopular in Worcester and Wor-
cester countj; that the citizens of the county have
''conquered their prejudices' and that they are now
ready to turn out and hunt fugtves with ''alacrty-
No private assurances that the law will be enforce, here
will suffice. They must hang out their flag inscribed
''prejudice conquered 'ugitves hunted with aacri-
iy."
P. 81 forgot an essential part of what they must
put their flag. They must, also, nscrbe 'fiee soil
suppressed" ''no rpoachf language against the patri-
archal institution; against its diflsion.'

power OF this simple arrangement to evolve cleo

,Snobs and Marriage EVERY of
the middle rank who walks through this
life with sympathy for his companions
on the same journey-at any rate, every
man who has been jostling in the world
for some three or four lustres-must
make no end of melancholy reflections
upon the fate of those victims whom So
ciety, that is Snobbishness, is immolatinp
every day.
With love and simplicity and natural
kindness Snobbishncss is perpetually at
war. People dare not be happy for fear
of Snobs. People dare not love for fear
ofSnobs. People pine away lonely un-
der the tyranny of Snobs. Honest, kind
ly hearts dry up end die. Gallant, gen
erous lais, blooming with hearty youth,
@~ II into bloated old bachelorhood, and
ourst and tumble over. Tender girls
wilmer into shrunken decay, and perish
solitary, from whom Snobbishness has
cut off the common claim to happiness
and affection with which Nature endowed
us all. NY heart grows sad as / see the
blnndering tyrant's handywork AS |
behold 1t, swell with cheap rage, and
glow with fury against the Snob. Come
down, say, thou skulking du!ness. Come
1owD3tnop stupid bully, and give up thy
ornttI gnoSt And arm myself with
swofdisnd spear and taking leave Of my
anily, go forth TO do battle with shat
seff"s ogre; and giant that brutal dest.
