MAIDEN's LEAP YEAR PSALM OF LIFE.
Tell me not in idle Jingle,
Marriage is an empty dreamr
For the girl is dead that's single,
And girls are not what they seem.
Life is real life is earnestl
Single blessedness-a f1b!
"Man thou art, to man returnestH
Has been spoken of the rib.
"Life is long, and youth is fieeting,
And our hearts, though tight and gay,
Still, like pleasant drums, are beating
Wedding marches on the way.
Lives of married folks remind us
We can live our lives as we'll,
Anticipating, leave behind us
Such examples as shall tell"
Such examples thGt another,
Wasting time in idle sport,
A forlorn, unmarried brother
Seeing, shall take heart and court.

TRIAL OF Col. G. w. BAYLoR.-We copy as
follows from the Houston Telegraph ofthe 18th
ult.:
THE trial of Col. Geo. W. Baylor. who un-
fortunately killed Gen. John A. Wharton in
this city just before the war closed, has been
the principal matter of interest in the District
Court, Judge Sabin presiding, for several days
past. Yesterday the evidence was finished,
and the argument Of the counsel followed.
The case was submitted to the jury last night.
1t was one ofthe most distressing and grev-
Gus mistortunes of the time, whether consid-
cred in relation to one side or the other. Both
were gentlemen of very high standing, and
mad many relations aud friends. Both were
noted as good men, brave men. rs soldiers and
gentlemen. They became embroiled in an Of
ticial military difference, became embittered
toward each other, became involved in an All
cry alteration, personal collision ensued,
and the result was that high-souled Wharton
lost his life at the hands of the noble-spirted
Baylor. 1t was a public misfortune and q
public grief. We never knew u case In which
there was at the same time such general sor-
row and so little unkind feeling toward either
Of the parties. And the distress of their re-
spective families was beyond imagination or
relief"
From papers Of a later date we learn that
the trial has been postponed till the next term
Of the court.
