a low, sad brow, with folde hair,
From whose deep night one pallid rose
White Observation-Disclosures hedarkness throws;
A head, whose lordly, only crown
OF pride, Olympian Juno might
Have worn for the great God delight;
Deep eyes, immixed Of night and fire,
In whose large motion you might see
Her royal soul lived royalty,
Unstained by any earthly soil,
And only caring to walk straight
The road ordained to her by Fate.
Her jeyvslled hand across the KEYS,
Flashed through the twilight Of the room,
double light, Of gem and tune
SIN why she PLAYED, YOU saw that hand
Glide GhOstly white, and fearless wave
Dead faces up from MemoEy's grave.
The freight fickered on The wall,
sweet tears came to the hearts relief,
She sat and sang US into grief
Yet now she played some liquid song
A happy lover wo Id have sung
IL once he could have found tongue.
And now the sparkling octaves ran
Through the quick dance, whose tangled braid
Now caught IL sunlight, now the shade;
And now the boatman's evening song,
As, rowing homeward down the stream,
He sees his maiden's garments CLEAN
Beside the tree-the trusting place
While the sad singer, whiPpoorwin,
Cries from the willow by the mill
Yet howsoe'er her music ran.

The WESTERN JUDIcrARY.-In recent

HE WESTERN JUDlCfARY.-ln a recent lee
ture, before the Mercantile Library AssOcia
ton. Of Boston, Josiah Quincy, Jr., speaking
of the practice of electing cheapjudges: quoted
from Gov. FOrd's history of Illinois, and gave
an amSSsing account of the action of one of
those judges in the case of a man who was
convicted Of murder. the criminal was Fam ed
Green, and when the judge came to pronou,ce
the sentence, he said: 50 Mr.. Green, the jury
in their verdict say you are guilty Of murder,
and the law says you are to be hung. Now, L
want you and all your friends down on Indian
Creek, TO know that it was not me that hung
you, but the jury and the law. Mr.. Green,
the law allows you time for preparation, and
the Court wants to know at what time you
will be ready to be hung" q am ready at
any time, " said Mr.. Green. The judge said,
You must know, Mr.. Green, it is a very Sc
rious thing TO be hung il cannot happen to a
man but once in his lifetime. The Court will
give you four weeks. Mr.. Clerk, look and see
If that will come on Sunday" After the
judge had been informed that four weeks from
that day would come on Thursday his decision
was about to be recorded, when the Attorney
General interposed and said - May it please
the Court in such cases it is usual to prepare
the criminal for his execution by some appro-
pirate remarks, tending to impress upon him
the greatness of his crime, and the necessity
for some preparation for a future world. !"
well, " said the judge, he knows as well as
If / should preach to him four weeks. You
understand ii so, don't you, Mr.. Green" and

encouraging art and industry, by all the
Astounding reciprocities of good neighborhood

HoRRIBLE.-The head, leg and ribs ola nj an,
supposed TO be about thirty years Of age, were
found in the woods, near the Washington and
Piscataway road, on the farm of Mr.. A. Bell,
one mile from the ferry opposite this city, on
Saturday last, by negro man belonging to
Mr.. Bell, who communicated the facts to Mr..
w. L. Brooke, living near the place. Mr.. B.
Informed the coroner, Mr.. Lee, who had ju-
y summoned on Sunday morning, and held
an inquest on the remains, but no clue could
be had to the name or residence of the de-.
ceased, or any facts connected with the death
elected. The flesh had been eaten from the
body, it was supposed by dogs and hogs, and
only his head, one leg, ION which there was a
fine boot, some of his ribs, and his thigh bone,
could be found. The hat found was a new
one, and manufactured by 7. l.. Hughes 4
Co, Of Baltimore. His clothes were of the
finest quality, and apparently new. The on
ly articles found with the clothing were a pair
of gold sleeve-buttons, q new pen-knife, and
watch-guard, also paper containing med
icine, 1t was thought. This melancholy &C.
currence caused considerable excitement in
the neighborhoOd, as it was thought that foul
murder had been committed. but. as we have
said before, nothing of definite character
could be elicited--Aierandria Gazette.
