Resolred, That we Join in that general
sympathy so manifestly exhibited on the oc-

THE RIGHT JURY.-A man out west, in
dictcd for stealing bacon, went to lawyer
and told him his case. The lawyer, strange
to say. advised him to settle, but the man said
no, he had right to be tried bya jury and Il
LAWYER TO defend him. The case came on,
and the witness sworc up to the hub against
the man. 1t was clear to all: even to the at
torncy who had argued for the bacon stcaler.
The jury Went out, and soon returned with Il
verdict of not guilty The man thrust his
thumbs into his vest pockets and went ont
of the court house whistlng Yankee Doodle.
The next day his lawyer met him and asked
him how under heavens he got that c;se.--
Now Squire said the client III tell how the
thing was done, but yc needn't say anything
about it. Eieren Of The jury had some Of
that bacon.'

PLEASE STOP MY PAPER.-l am going to
stop my paper, said misery subscriber of II
newspaper, to enc of his neighbors. II can.
not afford to take it." How much does it
cost you year, asked the neighbour
"rwo dollars" was the reply.
Sand cant you afford two dollars year!
Think of it, only two dollars ayear? 4 year
is long time. Perhaps you have only few
suchto spend on earth. A year, whole year.
and only two dollars year. And what do
you get for your money! a large closely
printed, useful sheet giving YOU The news Of
the week, and large amount Of miscclanc.
GUS reading-philosophcal and you can't
afford two dollars for such paper Il whole
year"
"Wcll, declare ncighbor you talk like an
experienced man. never thought of it in
just that light before, is it only two dollars
for a year and yet the paper comes to me
every week and love to read it: | always
find something in it that is interesting to me.
And moreover on second thought, perceive
that, after all Il good newspaper is about the
cheapest thing Il man can have. lie gets
more reading for his money than he can get
any other way.
True ncghbor; and this shows, that what
have already said, is true it seems designed
almost exclusively for the poor to take

A TroUGurLEss. BUT CRUEL PRAcTICE.-
1t is an old maxim, that the health of the bo-
DIV is affected by the state Of the mind
When body is diseased in majority OF ca.
SEES no medicine is SO ccacious rs cheerful
ness. Mrs. NJ. is in feeble health. Her coun-
tcnancc indicates it. Yet she attends to her
domestic. dn,ics--,.al upon friends and at
tends TO her necessary shopping, but whene-
yer she meets her friends and acquantanccs
she is greeted thus:
"Why, Mrs. NJ. how drcadfully you do
look! You are very thin and pale! You must
be very i'll, for you have changed sadly during
the last few week. sc. &c.
The consequence is Mrs. NJ. returns home
depressed in spirits, and says TO her husband
IL must look very i'll, indeed, for can hardly
meet an acquaintance, from home, who does
not tell me so." Thus are the efforts OF
husband and children to keep the heart OF Il
wife and mother cheerful, completely 'rus-
tr:tcd Such is the effect of these inconsl.
dcratc remarks upon Mrs. NJ. that it is serl.
ousy feared they will hasten fond wife and
mother into the grave.
Should this meet the eye OF any who Is
accustomed thus to address the feeble, let
him think of the effect upon his own mind
if constantly addressed in this way. If you
have suspicious of ill-hcalth in the friend you
meet, why tell him of i,!-Boslon Irdreilcr

SONNET TO A LADY WEEPING.

Nay, do not weep.-een from my boyhool's
years
/ always lov'd pretty woman's eye,
But like my toas', much prefer IL urv',
And not. like concert benches, all in tears.
4 handsome woman don't look very bad
Unless she yawns) when she is calmly
sleeping,
But. o We gods! to see a woman weeping
Is quite enough to drive lover mad
Siphs are delicious: and love them best
When-breathed beneath the trysting tree,
to prove
The sacred fervor of youthful love
They gently heave gentle maiden's breast
But when. with streaming eyes, a woman cries
feel like saying-'Dearest, dam your eyes'
