TAKING AFTER HIS FATHER
We have heard of child "taking after
his father" but not exactly In the way
recorded by cotemporary journal:
We once knew an eccentric old man
in the Nutmeg State in its northern
part, who went by the familiar title of
Uncle Aaron. The old man had raised
a large family of boys, the largest Of
whom-a wild, registering blade--was
named after himself. In speaking of
his family, the old man said. with re.
ry long face: a-- g. .ef-@..a @-'- rei7

"When did you last see it?'
At that moment the solicitor entered
the court, bringing with him upon Il
tray, watch, two money bags, a jcwei
case, and bottle of the same manufac-
ture Of the stopper, and having cork
in it. The tray was placed on the table
in sight of the prisoner and the wit

in the mind of any man pre-
sent Of the guilt of the prisoner.
A few words will bring this me!an-
choly tale to its close, The house
where the murder. was committed WAS
between nine and ten miles Distant
The solicitor, as soon as the cross exam
nation of the house keeper had discov-
cred the existence of the closet and its
had set off on horseback, with
two sheriffs, officers, and after pulling
down part of the wall, had detected this
important concealmcnt. The search was
we'll rewarded. The whole of the pro
perty belonging to Mr.. Thompson was
found there, amounting in value to some
thousand pounds; and to leave no room
for doubt, Il bottle was discovered which
the medical men instantly pronounced
to contain the very identical poison
which caused the death of the unfortu-
nate Thompson. The result was too
obvious to need explanation.
1t scarcely need be added that Smith
was convicted and executed, and brought
to his awful punishment by his own
means. Had he said nothing-had he
not persisted in calling a witness to
prove his innocence, he might have cs-
capped. But God had evidently left him
to work out his own ruin, as just re-
ward of his awful crime.
