1t will be remembered that the Clerk Of
the Court asked Huntington, after Judge
Capron had pronounced his sentence, the
usual question if he had any mechanical
trade, and was answered in the negative. It
seems that he was formerly engaged for
three years, in the furniture business, some.
where in Hudson-street, and on the strength
of this he has been assigned to the cabinet
shop at the prison, under the contract Of
Mr.. C. H. Woodruff. He is engaged in
the simple operation of saving and plan
ing boards, which is less intellectual en-
ployment than dealing in notes in Wall
street. But thereis this about it-he viii

When Nh. Huntington arrived at the pri7
son he remarked in the presence of the
Deputy-Sheriff. and some, of the officers,
that he knew what the prison regulations
were, and intended to obey them. One
luxury he will be deprived of, and that is
tobacco: he has been in the habit of smo-
king fabulous number of cigars per diem,
but the change will be likely to prove ben:
eficial to his health. His constitution IS
said to be much run down, and his counte-
nance looks care-worn and haggard.-X

THE DISMISSAL OF TYING.


Fe have but three words to say. 'served him
right. ."-Church Journal, ( (Ep;scopal).
Served him right How could he dare
To touch the idol of our day?
What if its shrines be red with blood?
Why, let him turn his eye away.
Who dare dispute our right to bind,
With CALLING chains, the weak and poor?
To starve and crush the deathless mind,
Or hunt the slave from door to door?
Who dare dispute our right TO sell
The mother from her weeping child?
TO hush with, ruthless stripes and blows
Her shrieks and sobs of anguish wild?
'Tis right to plead for heather lands,
To send the Bible to their shores,
And then to make, for power and pelf,
A race OF heathens at our doors.
What holy horror filed our hearts
1t shook our church from dome to nave
Our checks grew pale with pious dread,
To hear him breathe the name ofslaye.
Upon our Zion, fair and strong,
His words fell like fearful plight;
We turned him from our sanity fold;
And this we did to "serve him right"

1t makes very marked difference with a
rogue's comforts and luxuries whether he
is at large or in limbo. On the trial Of
Huntington, forger, his father-in-law testi-
fed as to the house of his son-in-law as
follows:
II heard Mr.. Clark describe the contents
of the house of the prisoner; he was cor
rect in his description; some of the vases, l
understand, cost $500 each; be had small
dog which would weigh two pounds, he
gave s36 for him; he had another dog
which weiged $50 pounds; he had a
house full of servants; he had eight or ten
durig the absence of his wife; he had two
coachmen and two grooms; he had man
servant and five or six girls; first and
second cook; this was while his wife was
absent; some of them were discharged
when she returned; understood he had
band of music in his house; he made
purchases every day; he had meat served in
silver dishes on the Sabbath; he was very
particular about his meals, understood
that ne sometimes ordered very sumptu-
GUS banquets; | understood he had six or
eight horses; knew that he was prepar-
ing stable prior to his arrest; l knew that
he purchased a piece of land of Yonkers
for a summer residence"
Justice has tranferred the forger from
this regal splendor TO work shop and cell
at Sing-Sing. The New York Times SAYS:
Huntington reached the Prison last Fri
day evening after the conviets were locked
up, and was shown to cell for the night
without any change in his toilet On
the following morning an officer raped at
his door and signifed that his presence was
desired in the physicians apartment, when
he was provided with the usual striped
wardrobe. He was then conducted to the
BARRIERS shop, and he submitted to the loss
Of his beard. This occupied till IL o'clock

Do you think that because you fail me,

That from out the heart gave you,
My strong love can fade away?
It will live. No eyes may see il.
In my soul it willie deep,
Hid from all; but | shall feel it
Often stirring in its sleep.

talk of the Supreme Being with great fa-
miliarity, II wish l knew how to cure that
lady of her habit have often tried, but

affect this kind of familiarity with the King
