And friends, estrapged, exclaim every side:
"Behold Adultery couched with Homicide %
What What though (n dreams) bleeding spectre aings

Love rules you know, he camp, the COURT grove

And cover not bridegroom, bat "exalt your horn.s
Sport once sgain the orange blossoms bright,
Though drops Of crimson stain their modest white:
Solder and piece the broken marriage ring
Despite the shame that 70 each fragment cling;
Lock arms-the arm that clasped lovers head,
With that same arm That LAID the lover dead;
Join lipe-tbe pair that toy cd In awless bliss

Laugh at the fools Of husbands who, perforce,

Is not Intrigue the mother OF Eclat
And murder much more popular than law?
Should the red purchase of your love renursed-
Your second bridal sweeter than the first
Cloud your soft dalance, thrust the thought away,
Adjourn reflection to some far off DAY.
From Nemesis TO Cupid fopdiy turn,

Hence eryhing that appeared ray correspond

upon Philip Barton Key. It did not become during

more his victim than be was hers-and however
much different feeling may be Inspired by the reconcile

otheIs at tho present time not disposed to discuss
this oopsds ration under the aspect Of the question
TIE motive which controlled much OF the feeling in favor
Mr. Sickles, grew out of the fact Mr. Key had accepted
the Inequalities OF Mr. Sickles and that while enjoying
these hospisaitiee, together with the confidence Of
MIR. Sickes, had betrayed his honor, and this
was regarded by all gentlemen as a crime
TO be expiated forgiven But It Is impossible to
of this reconciliation. 1t made public matter
by the political position Of the parties and their con-
rectiops, and you may be well assured that will
tnue to be made public matter, especially in this COM
munity. All the feeling for poor Key has been revived,
all the grief suppressed by the verdict in favor of Mir.
Sickles called forth by the forgiveness ex

case 1t will be long before an American court and
American citizens will again allow themselves
oed by one sided statement 70 applaud the blow thai
sends fellow creature INTO eternity with all his upon

Mr.. sickles should have taken his wife back to his
was probably well enough, and, however much
the taste Of the thing may be questioned, only
