she said, while the first sunny smile lit up
her sweet sad face.

the vacant place beside me, and with the
shrewdness of live Yankee, he guessed

the fair girl his wife. and then there was a
very unbecomming hal la! for minister.

The BRIDES tears were changed into

A Gentle Boy.

BE very gentle with her, my son. said
Mrs. B., as she tied on her little girls bon

They had not been out very long be-

in and threw down his hat, saying,'I hate

Mnnrne. the Murderer.

The case of this young man, who is
shortly to undergo the punishment of death
for the horrid crime of which he has been
convicted by jury ought TO be a warning
to all those who ield themselves willing
victims to vicious habits.
We understand that he was rather fast
young man, and that he married the daugh-
ter of the lamentod Ellington contrary to
the wishes of her parents, more for the
purpose of acquiring property than any
thing else. But Notwithstanding her par
ents opposed the match, had Monroe given
satisfactory evidence of sincere reforma-
ton, Mr.. Ellington would in due time have
treated him as son. But the eagerness
Of Monroe te get means to keep up his fast
habits, would brook no delay, and has be-
come the sworn enemy of both father and
mother of the daughter whom he had ta-
ken to his bosom. When he found lie
could not get from Mr.. Ellington the Pc
cuniary means he so much coveted, he
commenced course of abuse against Mr..
and Mrs. Ellington, which he continued
with little auatement up to the time OF the
murder.
The evidence of the case, as published
in the Charleston Courier, shows that
Monroe had so repeatedly made rash thre'
is against Ellington, that some of the wit
nesses began to look upon him as brag'
gart, and though there was little or nc
danger of the bloody tragedy that has al
ready taken one of the best men in the
country to the tomb. and i. shortly tC
take one Of the worst to the gallows. Up
on several occasions he has said he.woult

An Impressive Warning.

The Hon. David Stuart was engaged
as counsel for the prosecution in the case
of Oscar 7. Caldwell, charged with en-
bezzlement while conductor on the Chica,
go and Burlington Railroad, and which
was tried last week at Chicago and result
ted in verdict of guilty. The closing
speech Of M. Stuart was very able one
and called forth frequent applause. We
give below a short extract from it, and
would most fervently commend its careful
and attsntive perusal to all persons who,
by possibility. may be subjected 10 tempt
alton. 1t is worthy Thousand ordinary
sermons, and may save hundreds of fast
young meh from the career whose end is
perdition.- Scioto Gazette.
"Ah. gentlemen, the pivot on which all
this sad drama turns is condensed into that
single expression, I have lived too fast!
Pregnan: words! They should fall from
this court room like tocsin on the giddy
whirl of young men below. The multi.
tudes that has watched, with varied emo.
tons. but all with intense interest, the
progress of this trial, should carry it forth
and spread it in the saloons and in all the
popular resorts of youth. Ihave lived toe
fast! 1t is the most forcible as it it is the
most graphic expression of the unhealthy
lives that characterizes, shall be allowed
to say, multitude ofyoung men in thi;
beautiful city. In no town in the world
do the centers Of ailurement and tempta
tion bear such proportion to the popula
ton. Extravaganza in dress. extravaganza
in living, dangerous extravagance every
where, is apparent to the observer, nor
need that observer wear purtanical glasses
to see what allude to- Perhaps it is the
inseperable incident Of the marvellous
growth of this great city; and when thing

The world has been listening for years
to stories of Waterloo, the scene of the
last great action Of Napoleon; but it would
seem like a certain other commodity, long

"An individual who owned a suIah tav-

questioned as TO whether he did not possess
some relies of the battle, and as honestly
answered in the negative. But he was
very poor. and one dag while lamenting to

chair story. The chair was bought at an

We have been considering. in several ar,
ticles. the tendency Of modern civilization,
to diminish the relative supply of bread,
and consequently to increase prices, power
ty, and the dependence of some countries
end some classes upon others. The object
Of all political economy is the same, and
may be briefly defned-to make bread
certain, abundant and cheap; in other
words, to make the means of subsistence
easy and sure; judged by this standard,
the political economy of Europe is gradu-
ally tending towards starvation. This
sounds harsh, and is certainly quite con-
trary to the general ideas entertained Of
those wealthy and renowned countries
But, it is not easy to escape this conclu-
sion, if we look steadily at the facts and
their bearings. We need not refer to the
Irish famine, which was most clearly re
ferable to the accumulation Of too great
population on given space, or to the fire.
