Then it was a vision both glorious and
dreadful, to behold the orator. His action,
before graceful as the wave of golden bill

the motion of an oak in hurricane. His
voice became trumpet, filled with wild
whirlpools, deafening the ear with the crash

while with sweet under-song of softened
cadence. His face was red as a drunkard's, S,
his forehead glowed like heated furnace,
hts countenance was haggard like that of q

and bony arms on high, as if grasping after
thunderbolts.

perilous height. His voice walled out for

He closed by a strange exhortation to the
jury, and through them to the bystanders.
He advised the panel after they should bring
in verdict for the plaintiff not to offer vio-
lence to the defendant, however richly he
might deserve it; in other words, not to
lynch the villain, but leave his punishment
with God.
This was the most artfui trick of all. and
the best calculated to ensure vengeance.

Some one sums up the advantages of wo-
men over men as follows :" A woman may
say what she pleases to you without being
knocked down for it. She can take q
snooze after dinner, while her husband has
to so to work. She can go forth into the
streets without being invited to treat at eve

it is too pale, and four it if too red. She
can stay at home in time of war, and we'd
if her husband is killed. She can wear
corscts if too thick-othcr fixings if too
thin. She can eat, drink and be merry,
without costing Cent. She can get di-
