MURDER OF A HUSBAND.

think il was in the year 1899, that phys
iclan, whose name need not be repeated hose,
fled from below Quebec to Vermont. whero he
-~s -r@Adly arrested on a charge Of f,ui and
cruel murder, alleged to have been BY him CON-
miied in Seigniory near the St. Lawrence
he was accused Of having taken the life of an
esiimable gentleman, a young and wealthy Sci
gnior. the father Of two fine children, at the in
stigation Of their mother, then under "a years
Of age, woman Of refined manners. good edu-
cation, remarkable beauty, and aristocratic fam
ily connections. L
The only question nooied in the Vermont
tribunals was, whether the law Of nations, in
the absence Of special treaty, authorized Stale
authorities to seize persons taking refuge within
their territories and deliverihem overto foreign
powers 10 be tried for life. The Republican
Courts decided that il did not. The physician
was, Of course, released, and when Gov. Van
Ness become Collector OF Cousioms ai the port
Of New York, urged him 10 relate all the cir
cumsiances he could reeolleci. including the law
points. The memoranda still preserve.
s. Many years elapsed returned 10 Canada
and topublic life, and being on business in Que
heo. requested persons Of advanced years and
undoubled veracity, residing 10 and near the
place where the murder had been committed, to
nauate the facts just as they occurred. Well
may we exclaim, Truth is more wonderful than
fiction" r r4 .......

CHAPTER ".

Famine is in thy cheeks:
Need and oppression stareth In thine eyes;
Upon thy back hangs ragged misery;
The world Is not thy friend, nor the worlds law
While his wife was yet very feeble, Sneeks
went to the city aud spent several days in dis
sipaiion and nights in riodng. All that time
he played largely, and incurred heavy debts.--
Soon afier his return he proposed TO sell a
greater part of his farm, and urged as a reason,
that they should DO 50, there would be less hard
Mrs. Sneeks was then very weak both in
body and mind, and she had no one 10 advise
her. s ,rat JasfsE
Anything. anything, p thought she. $50 that
! need not be such a drudge, and work so much
beyond my Strength T as9
A few days only elapsed before she was cali
ed upon to sign deed. and she placed her
name to the document. wholly unconscious Of
The poverty to which she was reducing herself.
The magistrate received her testimony that il
was done Of her own free will, and yet he saw
that she was incapable Of having any inielli-
gent will about H. f..t fai
The following winter Mrs. Sneeks passed
nearly alone. A man. near by, was employed
to get wood and take care of what litile stock
they had lea. This man was very unfailhful
and she often suffered for fuel and -four, and
other uecessaries. Sneeks spent most Of his
time in the city, and before spring he became
a worthless profigate. One evening in
drunken reyel, he fell into quarrel. The
cambatants were separated, but the memory Of
the difficulty ranked in the bosoms Of boih.--
The next time they met, they drew their dirks,
and Sneeks was pierced 10 the heart. s'He
died as the fool deth.v Whata load of cruel
ty towards her whom he had sworn to love and
cherish-what a mountain Of crime he carried
up to the throne Of the Eternal
Mrs Godfrey went to the city and hurried
her father. She apologized for his reckless
conduct by saying
"His wife was very inefficient, and had no
power 10 make home agreeable. Were il 9th
erwise, he might have been different"
Base detractor! Mrs. Sneeks was genial,
loving, faithful woman, and one in every way
calculated to make domestic life attractive. II
Is bad enough 10 have tbs trouble, without be-
ing charged with the crime. She did not go
to see his remains consigned 10 their last rest
ing place her wardrobe was too scanty-
Had she attempted to appear abroad, she would
have looked like a beggar Neither did she
make great show Of grief; still, she was un-
uiterably desolate. Even a broken reed that
can give no support, we cling 10; we would
not have it taken away. We shudder, even
when the tie that bound US to faiihless wretch
is rudey broken. Her heart had been rent
with many sorrows. The current Of her life,

backward, and forced TO channel IFS wa
through the dark and ihorny labyrinth, down
ward and downward, TO utter liopclessness an,

pulsng and solitary appeared the way.
Legal proceedings were entered inio for IN
settlement ofthe estate, and ofall Mrs. Sneeks
property, there remained only the house an,
twenty acres Of lard, valued altogether at tw,
thousand dollars. This would have yieIde,

THE HEART.

ny ELIZA COOK.
The heart, the heart oh, let it be
true and bounteous thing,
As kindly warm, as nobly free,
As eagles nesting wing.
oh, keep IT not, like miser's gold,
Shut in from all beside;
But let its precious stores unfold,
In mercy far and wide.
The heart, the heart that IS truly blest
Is never all its own;
No ray of glory lights the breast
That beats for self alone.
Upward steals the life Of man;
As the sunshine from the wall,
From the wall into the sky,
From the room along the spire;
All! the souls Of them that die
Are but sunbeams lifted higher.
Longfelioie.

POETRY.
THE SNOW SHOWER.

ny wM. CULLEN BRYANT.
Stand here by my side and turn pray,
On that lake below thy gentle eyes;
The clouds hang over II, heavy and gray,
And dark and silent the water lies;
And out Of that frozen mist the snow
In wayering fakes begins to flow;
Flake after flake,
They sink in the dark and silent lake.
See how in living swarm they come
From the chambers beyond that misty veil,
Some hover awhile in air, and some
Rush prone from the sky like summer hail,
All, dropping swiftly or settling slow,
Meet, and are still in the depth below;
Flake after fake,
Dissolve in the dark and silent lake.
Here delicate snow-stars, out of the cloud
Come floating downward in airy play,
Like spangles dropped from the glistening crowd
That whiten by night the milky way;
There broader and burlier masses fall;
The sullen water buries them all;
Flake after fake,
All dressed In the dark and silent lake.
And some, as on tender wings they glide
From the chilly birth-cloud, dim and gray,
Are joined in their fall, and side by side,
Come cllnging along in their unsteady way;
As friend with friend or husband with wife
Makes hand in hand the passage Of life;
Each meted fake,
Soon sinks in the dark and silent lake.
Lo! when we are gazing, in swifter haste
Stream down the SHOWS till the air is white,
As, myriads by myriads madly chased, theight,
They fling themselves from their shadowy
The fair frail creatures Of the middle sky,
What speed they make with their grave 70 nigh
Flake after fake,
To lie in the dark and silent lake.
l see in thy gentle eyes a tear;
They turn to Inc a sorrowfnl thought
Thou thinkest Of friends, the good aud dear,
Who were for n time and now are not;
Like these fair children Of cloud and frost,
That glisten for moment and then are lost,
Flake after fake,
All lost in the dark and silent lake.
Yet look again, for the clouds divide;
CLEAN Of blue on the water lies;
And far away on the side,
A sunbeam falls from the opening skies,
But the hurrying host that few between
The cloud and water no more is seen;
Flake after fake,
AT rest in the dark and silent lake

Public Printer.

In the House Of Representatives, on the
Ord on a motion of Mr.. Goode, Of St. Louis
to give the appointment of Public Printer TO
the Governor, quite an animated debate a.
rose. The question of public printer was
debated at some length, but the proposition
to give the Governor appointing power, was
very properly negatived. Mr.. McAGee
made the best suggestion, viz--that the Of
fee should be open to competition, and the
work awarded to the best bidder-to the
man or men who would give sufficient sure.
ties for the faithful performance of the work
and do it for the lowest price. This would
give all chance. Some members were for
giving it to the Governor, in order to get the
subject out of the House. Others thought
that the appointment of Senator might be
given to the Governor on the same ground.
The idea of many was to get the work out
of the hands of Mr.. Lusk, and they did not
care much where it went. The objection
to Mr.. Lusk is mainly political, and if a
wing is not to have the work we know Of
no eleverer a democrat who could GET il.

From the National Intelligencer, of the
28th, it appears that some manifestations Of
interest to the West are making. We copy
the following:
OVERLAND MAIL TO THE PAcIFIc.-
Mr.. Benton yesterday endeavored 10 have
an amendment Of some Importance attached
TO the Post Office bill, but it was ruled out
of order. 1t was to authorize the Postmas-
ter General to contract for carrying the mail
in coaches, wagons, and sleighs between In
dependence, in Missouri, and the Bay Of
San Francisco. 1t will be recollected that
the subject ofregular overland communica-
tion has engaged the attention of the people
Of st. Louis and of Sacramento city almost
at the same moment. Mr.. Benton will no
doubt bring the matter up in some other form
before the session closes.
TELEGRAPH TO THE PAcIFIc.-Amone
the important subjects now before the House
of Representatives may be mentioned bill
reported yesterday by Mr.. Farley, from the
Committee on Territories. 1t is the Senate
bill authorizing the construction of subtle
ranean line of telegraph from the Missouri
or hlsSlSslppl river W Tie IdclIlc oceaI.-
The utility of such a work, if the price oil
transmission should not be too high, is self
evident, but the question whether it would
be secure from Indian depreciation or the
malice of bad white men is a matter to be
well considered. The difficulty of ascertain
ing break in the wire is not one of the least
but human ingenuity at present is equal tc
almost anything.
On motion of Mr.. McDougal, the House
ordered to be printed the 'letter of ]. C.
Fremont 10 the Editors of the National In
telligencer, communicating some general re-
suits of recent winter expedition across
the Rocky Mountains for the survey of a
route for railroad to the Pacific"

& Speck of War.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Republican, writing under date of the 3Oth
ult. says
When the Presidents annual message
was given to the country, a voice of disap-
pointment was heard coming up from every
quarter, complaining that he had not SO much
as compimented the Queen Of The Antilles
with passing notice, although the Black
Warrior outrage, and many others of a sim
liar character, remained unsettled. This
singular omission is chargeable to Mr.. Mar
cy, who carries his peace policy to extremes
as is proven by the Gipson claim. AS a
dernier resort to save the sinking ship, the
Administration has at length determined to
kick up a war with Spain. The message
is now in course of preparation recommen-
ding resort to arms TO enforce indemnity,
and TO seize upon Cuba. 1t will satisfy the
cravings Of the most reckless fillibusters,
and must lead to the resignation Of Mr.. Mar
cy, who is opposed in toto to the whole move,
ment, and the reorganization of the Cabinet
Such are the conclusions of the politicians
here, drawn from very safe premises.
