SINGULAR Instructions BY KENTUCKY
JUDGE. In the Franklin Circuit Court,
Kentucky, Wash. Devlyn has been convic-
ted of killing Dan. McDurdv, and senten-
oed to the penitentiary for five years. In
noticing tie case, the frankfort Yeoman
remarks:
Judge Nattall instructed the jury that if
they believed the prisoner was. sufficiently
drunk at the time the offence was committed
as not to know what he was doing they were
to find him not guilty. The substance Of
the instructions was about this i: If it az
peared that a man intended to commit crime
before he got drunk and committed it in a
state of intoxication, his drunkenness was
no excuse or palliation of the offence; but If
without having determined to perpetrate a
crime he became too drunk to know what
be was about and in this case committed
murder he could not be held guilty.

AN INTERNAL ATTEMPr.-TheC Cincinnati
Comnserciol gives its readers an account Of
the discovery of fendish plot to destroy an
entire family by blowing up house. + The
preparations had been made, the powder
placed in proper position and all was ready
but the wretches who had been hired to
arrange the preparations could not be bro't to
consummate the revolving tragedy. Atten-
ton was attracted to their movements by the
tarring of the house some weeks before the
other diabohcal deed was planned-and the
police watched closely until they made the
said discovery.

u, BY GEO. D. PRENTICE.
love this holy lime. The forest leaves
Beneath the noiseess dew are bending low,
And family glowing in the starlight pale,
As if the vision that come DER their sleep,
Were of the spirit land. The mountain pine,
Has hushed its melancholy music now, M
The weary winds are slumbering in the heavens,
Or keeping sacred vigils on the cloud
Far glimmering in the sunset-alli is still,
Save that the distant waves are murmuring low
Like lost angel mourning his sad lot
Of exile from the blessed.
At such an hour, to wander out beneath
The eternal sky, to gaze into its depths,
To picture angel shapes on every star,
To listen to the mystic songs that seem
To Fancy's ear to wander down to earth
From the far gates Of Eden, and to feel
The deep and gentle spirit, that pervades
The blessed air, sink like a holy spell
Upon life's troubled waters.
Hank the bell
Tolls out the midnight hour How glorious
And yet how lonely is the face of things
At this still hoGr Of MUSINGS! Vale and hill,
And plain and stream, and lake and ancient wood
Glow in the distance, and religion rests
Upon them like a mantle. @, love,
On ewes like this, to kneel in solitude
At nature'e shrine the gentle dews that battle \
My brow, seem Gods own baptism, and each voice
That spreads in mystic eloquence from sky,
And air, and earth, and ocean, calls the soul
To mingle with the holiness of heaven.
