CrncuMsrANrIAI E%v1pENcE,--I have heard
some very extraordinary cases Of murder tried.
| remember in one where | was counsel, for a
long time the evidence did not appear 10 touch
the prisoner at all, and he looked about with
The most perfect unconcern, seeming to think
himself quite safe. AT last the surgeon was
called, who stated that the deceased had been
killed by a shot, a gun-shot in the head, and he
produced the matted hair and stuff cut from and
taken out of the wound. 1t was all hardened
with blood. A basin OF warm water was brot
into court, and as the blood was gradually, soft
ened, a piece of printed paper appeared-lhe
wadding of the gun, which proved to be halt OF
a ballad. The other half had been found III the
mars pocket when he was taken. he was
h~anged.-Lord Elaon's Note Book.

COUSINTNG.

A country gentleman lately arrived at Boston.
and Immediately repaired to the house ofa rela-
tive, a lady who had married a merchant of tina,
city. The parties were glad to see him, and in.
eited him to make their house his home las he
declared his intention of remaining in that city
but a day or two.) The husband of the lady
anxious to show attention TO a relative and frienC
OF his wife, took the gentleman's horse tc a liv.
cry stable in Hanover street.
Finally, the visit became a visitation, and the
merchant, after the lapse of eleven DAYS found.
besides lodging and boarding the gentleman, a
pretty considerable bill had run up at the livery
stable. Accordingly, he went to the man who
kept the stable, and told him when the gentle.
man took his horse he would pay the bill.
"yery good,' said the stable keeper, II I'M
derstand you.0
Accordingly, in a short time, the country
gentleman went to the stable and ordered his
horse to be got ready. The bill of course was
presented.
sob, said the gentleman, "EIr. -, my
relative will pay this"
Every good sir, please to get an order from
Mr.. ----; it will be the same as the money.u
The horse Was put up again, and down went
the country gentleman to the long wharf, where
the merchant kept.
"\Vell," SAID he, ~ am going now,''
care yon? ?" said the merchant, "well good
bye"
well, about my horse the man says the bill
must be paid for his keeping"
''lVell, suppose that is all right, sir"
"ies-well, but You know Pm your wife's
cousin"
yes" said the merchant, II know that you
are, but your Aorse is not"

POETRY.
THE THREE HOMES.

"Where is thy home 2" asked child
Who. in the morning air,
Was twining flowers most sweet and wild
In garlands for her hair;
"My home?" the happy heart replied,
And smiled in childish glee,
sis on the sunny mountain side,
Where soft winds wander Free"
Oh! blessings fall on artless youth,
And all its rosy hours,
When every word is joy and truth,
And treasures live in flowers!
"Where is thy home2" l asked of one
Who bent with flushing face,
To hear a warriors tender tone
In the wild woods secret place;
She spoke not, but her varying cheek
The tale might well impart /;
The home of her young spirit meek
Was in a kindred heart.
All! souls that well might soar above,
To earth will fondly cling,
And build their hopes on human love,
That light and fragile thing!
"Where is thy home thou lonely man 2"
asked a pilgrim gray,
Who came with furrowed brow, and wan,
Slow mnsing on his way;
He paused, and with a solemn mein
Upturned his holy eyes,
"The land seek thou meier hast seen,
My home is in the skies !"
OH blest-thrice blest! the heart must be
10 whom such thoughts are given,
That walks frem worldly letters free;
Its only home in heaven!

A CUNNING NEGRO.

1t is said that Mclaughlin, one of the "AIurrel
gang" who was lately hung in Favette cn,,n,,,
stated before he was hung, that he had stolen
much property, but few negroes--he vas opposed
to stealing any thing that could talk. lie stole a
negro fellow a few years since, took him 10 New
Orleans at a great expense and attempted to sell
him there, but the fellow objected and said he
would 'tell Gu him" if he sold him at n. Orleans
he wished to 60 farther up the river. He then
went to Natchez, but the fellow disliked that place
ana wished to go higher up; he then went to
Louisville, bat when he got there the fellow told
him that he had got close TO a free state and that
he wanted now 10 be free, and that if he did not
pay his passage to Cincinnati he would denounoe
HIM to the authorities of The city as a negro thief.
Mclaughlin dared not to object, and took the
fellow to Cincinnati and left him. When last
heard from he was still residing in that city as a
free negro.-Houston Telegraph

MICHIGAN CONVENTION.

we see that the bill calling a convention to re-
ihodei the constitution of the State Of Michigan,
has passed the Legislature and IS now a law. The
delegates are TO be elected on the first Monday in
May next. One Of the proposed reforms we un-
%derstand, is the election of all the officers Of the
State by the people. disappointing power hith-
efto lodged IN the Executive of the States, has
oeen SO shametully abused, so completely prosti-
'u'ed TO party purposes. that the people every
where are coming up to claim the exercise of this
privilege themselves. This remark is not appli-
caeie TO Michigan particularly, for we know moth
ing how this privilege has been exercised there,
oat 1t Is applicable to the manner in which offices
have generally been bestowed. The people know
mat they are equally as competent to the selec-
fion OF Judges as the Governor, or the legislature:
and as they believe that influences, may, and are
often brought to bear upon a single man, or body
OF men, which cannot be brought upon the great
mass OF the people, they are wisely determining
IN the different States to take their appointments
from their Governors and Legislatures and to make
item themselves.--Ky. Yeoman.
