FOR THE JEFFERSoNIAN.
Fall and Winter Advice,

Now is the time for age and youth,
To spend some time in seeking truth;
Spend leisure time by evening tapers
Ia reading books, or reading papers.
Would you at wisdom's fountain drink!
Not only read but learn to think.
Do you expect en- to be wise ?
Just use your mind as well as eyes.
The tongue perhaps may come in play
To help you on in wisdom's way,
But not without bride, sure
You cannot keep that member pure.
Since time is fortune to which you are heir,
You must strive TO improve it with diligent
care.
Are you an old bachelor weary Of life!
The law would allow you TO get good wife.
If you are fair maid of full tN enty-fvr,
You better get married sure as you're alive.
Please remember that now you're right in
your prime,
If you longer delay, you fool away your time.
Are you a mere youth, attending school!
Then seek after wisdom--not act like fool.
And lastly, dear reader, whoever you are,
Stand fast to your duty and never despair.
R. w. HINCKLEY.

Tuesda Nov. l.

sa-The trial of Brown. at Charles
town, was continued yesterday. The
prisoner looked better, and is said to be
improving. The courtroom was densely
crowded. Mr.. Grswold made the open
ing speech for the defense. He claimed
that Brown could not be guilty of trea-
son, as be had never sworn allegiance to
Virginia. Neither did the evidence show
that he had levied war against the State
He admitted that the prisoner bad come
there to run of slaves, and was ameDable
to the laws of the State against such an
act. AS to conspiracy to iDcite an insur-
rectoD, there was a difference between
running off slaves and causing an upris-
ing among them. He was followed By
Mr. Hunter for the prosecution, who clos
ed his argument. and Mr. Chiffon asked
the Court to instruct the Jury. that II
they believed Brown was not citizen oi
Virginia. they could not convict him on
account of treason. The Court declined, i,
and Mr.. G. asked that the Jury should
be instructed that they must be satl'hed
that the offense was committed within
Jefferson County. This was granted
After recess. the Jury came in with
verdict of guilty of treason, advising and
comprising with slaves and others to re-
bel, and for murder in the first degree
Mr.. Chiffon moved for az arrest OF Judge
meDt both on account of errors in the in
dictment and errors in the verdict.

In the case of Brown, further argument
was bad on the request for an arrest Of

cision. The Jury in the case of Coppic

The Baltimore American, after saying
that sit is difficult to decide whether the
Harper's Ferry outbreak should be called
a ludicrous tragedy. or a solemn farce"
thus decidedly condemns the efforts Of
Democratic journals to make political
capital out of it:--"It is perfectly idle,
to say the least, to turn such an event in
to political capital. No party would
dream of indorsing these or similar afro
cities; and it is poor and unworthy class
Of tactics that would seek to fasten the

TELLING THE TRUTH A ScANDAL-Many persons
justify themselves in injuring another's character,
by pleading that they have told only what is
true. They forgot that the truth is not at all
times to be spoken. Perhaps the one Of whom
you tell an odious truth, has repented in dust and
ashes of his fault. and if you keep repeating it, how
can you longer pray that God would cast your sins
behind his back, and remember them no more.
Perhaps God has forgiven the SHINING one and re-
stored his soul to virtue and peace. and will you act
the part of a 6end in taunting and tormenting himl
and restored, is longing. signing. and striving after
his lost innoceuce. and will you crush and kill his
good desire. by robbing him Of the motive which
arises from SELF and the good opinion of
others? Will you break the bruised reed and quench
the smoking fax viii you lacerate the bleeding
sensibilities Of those who are mourning over their
fAultss That you have spoken to the injury sof
another only what is true is no Justification. You
may be . slsSnderer.. still Of the most malignant char
acter, and you are 20, unless q special reason exs0
