the prisoners counsel, in reference to some posi-
tions taken by the DIsTRIcr ATTORNEY in argu-
ment, prayed the court for further instructions 10
the jury. The court granted the following:
l. That Insanity must be proved like any other
fact; "that II the preponderance OF the evidence
and leaning, as q whole, inclined that way, they
would be authorized 10 find him insane. "-Rogerss
Iiiai, p. PSI. --
3 That in order to authorize the jury to iud the
prisoner insane, II was not necessary that they
should find from tho evidence that, mt the time Of
committing the act, he was unaware Of its nature,
character, and consequences.
At six O'Clock the jury sent written commun-
cation to the court the purport OF which found,
on their being brought into court, to be inquiry,
what the counsel for the prisoner meant by saying
that tho jury might bring in verdict Of man
slaughter. The court answered that it could not
undertake to say what counsel meant. All that
the court could say was, that an indictment for
murder the jury had the power to bring in q yer.
dict OF manslaughter. In answer to suggestion
made by the foreman, the court farther instructed
the jury, that u they believed the prisoner insane,
he was entitled to an acquttal. The Jury then re-
tired to their room, and ut halfpast eleven o'clock
q m, next day, (2lst July,) came into court, and

An Irishman's Mistake.
South Hardwick, Vt

A correspondent of the Boston Herald
tells the following good story;
A few months ago, as brother ingalls, of
Swampscol was travelling through the west
ern part If the State of New York, he tell
in with an lrishman who had lately arrived
in this country, and who was in quest of
brother that came on before him and settled
in some of the diggings in that vicinity.
Pat was strong, athletic man a true
Catholic, and had never seen the interior
of Protestant church. 1t was pleasant
Sabbath morning that brother Ingalls, met
Pat, who enqulred the road to the nearest
church.
Ingalls, is a good pioCs man. He told
Pat he was going to church himself, and i'll
vited his new-made acquaintance 10 keep
him company thither, his place of destina-
ton being a small Methodist meeting house
near by. There was a great revival there
at that time, and one of the deacons, (who
by the way was very small in statue) invited
brother |. to take seat in his pew. He
accepted the invitation and walked in, fol-
lowed by Pat, who looked in vain to find
the altar, &c After he was seated, he
turned to brother l., and in a whisper
which could be heard all around, Inquired
"Sure, and isn't this hereto church 2"
"Hush " said ingalls,, eff you speak
loud word they will turn you out immedi-
ately"
" DiviI word will l speak at all at all, T."
replied Pat.
The meeting was opened with prayer by
the pastor Pat was cycling him very close.

was standing in the pew directly in front of
Pat shouted " glory. " /" His-s.s-st ye divil,"
reioined Pat with his loud whisper, which
was heard by the minister " be dacent, and
don't make blackguard of yourself"
The parson grew more and more fervent
in the devotion. Presently the deacon ut.
tered an audible groan. His-s.st, ye
backguard, have We no dacency at ALL"
said Pat, at the same moment giving the
deacon punch in the ribs, which caused
him to nearly loose his equilibrium The
minister stopped, and extended his hand in
supplicatng manner, and said," brethren.

Yes, yOur reverence" shouted Pat,

he colared the deacon, and to the utter hor-
ror and establishment of the pastor, broth.

dragged him through the aisle, and with a
tremendous kick, a posterior, as the logi-
clans have it, he laaded him in the vest-
bue of the church.

No Use for Trousers.

On the morning Of the meteoric shower,
in 1888. old Peyton Roberts, who intended
making an early start to his work, got up in
the midst of the display. On going to his
door, he saw with amazement the sky light
ed up with the falling meteors, and he con-
cluded at once that the world was on fire,
and that the day of judgment had come.
He stood for a moment gazing in speech

But Peyion heard not--the judgment

THE SLEEPING BOY
BY CRIsPAN.

twas Summer day, and the sun was high,
And the midday breeze was mild
When the moon was far, and the moon was nigh
With laugh and shout and joyous cry;
Came troops of children wild
Busy children they, with the rushing swing,
With hoop and bat and ball;
With the soaring kite with its heightened string,
With the slender trout in the babbling spring,
The brook and the waterfall.
A noble boy of two years old,
With love in his bright blue eye
With his faxen hair, and his bearing bold,
And dimped cheek from beauty's mould,
Was chasing the butterfly
Past the busy mill, by the falling brook,
In his sports he CHANGED TO stray,
To the bridge below his course he took,
Where he laid him down, through hole to look
To see the fishes play,
Nor stirs he now, but keeps his eye
Fixed down on the little deep,
Where the specked trout goes dartingby;
(He's quite forgotten the butterfly y
And over his senses creep
sumber soft. An hour passed on;
His watch the angels keep;
Tho boy was missed soon the search was done,-
For the mother found her infant son,
On the old log bridge asleep.
