Wild the dark winds sang on; the drifting snow
Wrapt the wan corpses in its plying shroud,
The drunkard fingered in the wines red glow,
Where on the air fell laughter long and loud.
The eastern heavens blushed with waking life,
The crimson day across the orient broke;
In lands where breezes with warm sweets are rife,
The mother and her angel child awoke!

Western Elouuence.


Gentlemen of the jury" said a West
ern lawyer. 1t is with feelings Of ne
ordinary commotion that I raise to de.
fend my injured client from the attacks
which have been made on his hitherto
unapproachable character. | feel, gen
tlemen, that though a great deal smart
er than any of you. eve the Judge him
self, yet | am utterly incompetent to pre-
sent this case in that m~agnanimous and
heart-rending light which its Importance
demands, and | trust, gentlemen, that
whatever I lack in presenting the subject,
will be Immediately made up by your
good sense and discernment, if you have
got any.
The counsel for the prosecution, gentle
men, will undoubtedly heave dust in your
eyes. He will tell you that his client is
pre-eminently a man of function-that
he is a man as undoubted and implacea.
BILE veracity-that he would scorn to
fetch an action against another merely to
CRAFTY his own personal ~corporosity;
but, gentlemen, let me ~eautionate you
how you rely upon such spacious reason
Jag like this. I, myself. apprehend that
this suit has been wilfully fetched, gen.
tlemen. for the sole and only purpose of
brow beating my client here, and in an
eminent manner grinding the face of the
poor ; and I apprehend also if you could
but look into that mans heart and read
there the motives that have impelled him
to fotch this suit, such a picture of NOR
al turpentine and heartfelt gratitude
would be brought to light as have neve
been exhibited since the Falls of Niagara.
Now, gentlemen, | want to see a bril-
liant appeal to the kind symmetries of
nature, and see if / can wrap your Judge
ment a little in favor of my unfortu-
nate client here, and then I shall fotch
my argument to a close.
Here, gentlemen, is a poor man, with a
numerous wife and children depending
upon him for their daily bread and but
ter, wantonly fetched up here and ar
ranged before an intellectual jury on the
charge of ANONYMOUSLY looking-yes,
hooking six quarts of new cider. You,
gentlemen, have been placed in the same
situation, and / humbly calculate that you
will not permit the gushing o fyour symp
erthising hearts to be %squenched in the
bud by the %surruptions and s~uperogating
argument of my igorant opponent on the
ether Side.'

A Fatal Misstep and a Sad Honey.

A young man named Charles Albaugh
belonging to Cleveland, Ohio, was a few
DAYS sincetried, convicted and sentenced
to the State Prison for robbing the
mail. He had previously born a good
character. The Columbus Ohio Gazette,
gives the sad picture of the case and its
last incident:
Charles Albaugh is only 20 years OF
age, and the events Of the past few
months will fill an important chapter in
his life's history. On Christmas day he
eIoped with his landlords daughter, a
Miss German, in her sixteenth year, went
TO Alexandria, Penn, and was married.
An effort was made to keep the affair Sc
|cret, but it was discovered by the. girls
parents, who were highly incensed at their
daughters imprudence. On the 18th of
January, Mr.. Prentiss, the U. S. Mail
Agent, arrested Albaugh upon a charge
of robbing the mail. He was taken TO
Cleveland, tried, convicted and sentenc-
ed before the United States Court, and
upon reaching Cardington, on his was to
the Penitentiary, the young wife came
Iabord the cars to bid farewell to her con.
vict husband. The meeting was a pain.
fully affecting one. She begged him to
keep up his spirits, to make a firm re-
Esolve to do his whole duty while in pris-
on. She vowed to stick to him though all
the rest Of the world should fnrsaaae in;m /:
for, said she, Charley we are both
vouns we nave years of happiness in
store for us, and when your time has ex.
pired, we can 60 to some land where the
offence will not be known, where we can
live happily together, and carr our hon
est Livelihood" The poor girl nerved
herself to the task, and as she WHIPPED the
tears away from the cheeks of her young
husband, she never whimpered. The car
was full Of passengers, who witnessed the
scene with fearful emotion. The conduc
tor who, at the request of the officers,
had kindly delayed a, few. moments, to
give the couple an opportunity Of meet
ing each other, at least notified them that
he could DELAY no longer, and the whistle
gave notice that the cars We're about
starting. Keep up your courage like a
man, Charley" said the heroine, and as
she kissed his cheek, she turned to leave
him, but overpowered by her feelings,
that she had thus far kept under control,
she fell fainting in the arms of the by
ISLANDERS, who carried her gently into the
station-house, and the cars rooled over
the rails with increased speed, to make
up for the detention.
