Begins its. gentl, sercnadc.
And though Mt moon upon the hills

And whispers to each flower ii meets
Some gentle word that's full OF sweets,
Still the dearest songs il knows

There is not star in yon blue sky

Until its wandering glances rest
On that blue wave it ives the best;
Then il begins to tell once moro
Things sweet as if unheard before
The beauties Of tho land may smile.

With those soft dews that wet the cheek

F" Murder will Ont. T"

If we remember rightly, it was Lord El-
don who was presiding over the bench of a
London criminal court, before whom the in
| cldent occurred. a man was upon his tri-
al for the murder ola man who was found
dead upon Hampstead Heath and bullet
in his body showed the manner of his
death. He had been last seen in company
with the prisoner; but as there was no
other testimony bearing against him, he
| stood with unabashcd front before the Judge,
ond smiled in ridicule at the attempt of the
| Kings counsel to convict him of the homi
eide. Lord Eldon was holding in his hand,
and listlessly between his fingers, the ball
which had been extracted from the body
Presently he beckoncd to an officer to ap-
proach the bench, which he did when his
lordship inquired in an under-tone, if the
murderer had been searched. "He has,
your lordship; but no money was found
upon his person nor is it known that the
deceased had any money in his possession,
beyond about sovereign in change. The
only thing we found was part ola street.
ballad, from which large F had been
torn.
g Let me see it," said the Judge. 1t
was handed TO him by the officer. In the
meantime in manipulating the bullet be-
tween his fingers, his lordship detected
pieceof blOod-dricd paper; moistening, and
gradually unroling it, it was found to be a
three-corncred piece of a street ballad; and
on comparing it with the torn ballad, which
had been laid before him, it was found to
fit exactly, and to complete the whole-
This piece of paper which had formed the
wadding of the gun, was at once put in cvi-
dence; the man was convicted and after
wards made full confession fhis crime
We have never heard more vtraordinary
