THE BROKEN TRoTH.
BY MAUD HUNTER.

I give thee back thy glitteripg ring,
The little, shining band of gold
For it, to me doth sorrow bring
Sorrow and misery untold.
Take it, and wear it for my sake.
Ali no-my hearts too proud to break.
give thee back the pledges, all
1 give thee back thy freedom too
And think not, though my tears may fall,
Those falling drops are but for you.
All, no but for my love and trust
That now are trailing low in dust
Ah can you give these back to me,
That I, so freely, gave to you
/ now return all, all to thee -
Thou canst not, for thou art untrue.
Where now is my pure trust and love
Gone love no more my heart shall move.
And canst thou give me back my heart s...
The gay young heart gave to thee
thscathed by e'en single dart
Oh canst thou give it back to mes
Thou canst not, for its scared and old
Its warmth and brightness, dark and cold
And thus part. All, Heaven we two,
Who held each other once so dear
Who vowed forever TO be true
Yet now we part without tear.
Each with sad and restless heart,
We tread this dreary world apart.

CoNCERT-GIvING originated in the ale-houses
of Europe. One of the earliest was given
at an ale-house in lane at the northwest
end of st. Paurs Cathedral, early in the
reign of Charles H. by Robert Hilbert. =
He procured a chamber organ and employed
one Phillips to play upon it ; and many shop
men and foreman resorted to the place
weekly to sing and to hear the music as they
enjoyed their ale and tobacco. Here Ben
Wellington got the reputation of notable
bass voice and became composer, though
the songs that he printed were mostly borrow
ed from Playfeld's Catch Book. The next
important movement in this direction was by
the elder Banister, who had good theatrt-
cal vein, and in composition lively style
peculiar to himself He procured a large
room in Whitefriars near the Temple back
gate, and made a large raised box for the
musicians, The room was filled with seats
and small tables, ale-house fashion. One
shilling was the admission fee, and call fol
what you please. He furnished the best
performers, vocal and instrumental, and wal
himself performer on the fageolet. The
room was often crowded. Next tavern-keep
ers hired masters to play, aud gave concerts
in their bar-rooms Finally masters o
music, finding that money was to be mad,
this way, took the business into their owl
hands and in New York buildings a large
room was furnished on purpose for public
music Thus came the music halls and con
cert saloons

The trial of Surratt, like the trial of his
mother, has been farce from thebeginning,
and the only reason he is not hanged like
his mother, right or wyonf, is because the
radicals in charge Of him fear the conse-

The Discharge Of John Surratt.

Special dispatches from Washington
gives further particulars of the discharge Of
Surratt:
John H. Surratt was to-day discharged
from custody by judge Wylie, of the crimi-
nal court. When judgment was rendered,
the judge made short statement of the
case, and closed as follows:
| feel also constrained to dispose of the
case upon decision of Judge Holt. An
officer was charged with crime, and de-
manded an investigation. The president
referred the question to Mr. Holt. The
latter reported against the inquiry, because
the offense had been committed m.ore than
two years betore-even though the officer
waived the privilege of the statute. The
only way prosecuting officer can avoid
such mistakes is in taking great care in pre-
pairing indictments. One of the counsel
has spoken OF there being no precedent COM
pelling the district attorney to anticipate
objections under the statute of limitation
in framing indictments. Now, the reason
of this, in England, is that the common
law declared that there was no time for the
king, and suits brought by the king were
subject to the limitation. In this country
the theory does not hold. Under all these
considerations, |, therefore, feel constrain-
ed to decide upon the whole record and
accordingly judgment is for the defendant.
A profound sensation was occasioned in
the court by this announcement. The dis
trlct attorney at once arose, and the follow
ing colloquy ensued:
Mr. Carrington-Will your honor certify
the case to the court at general term?
Judge Wylie-Not when | try a case
myself, am not in the habit of certifying
it to the court.
Nlr. CaTingtou-I have the right to ap-
peal, ami | ask your honor that the prison
er be not discharged Mr.. Darlington
asked that the court should order the case
to be certified to the court.
Judge Wylie-Not when try case my
sclf / am not in the habit of certifying
the case to the court in baac?
Dir. Carripgton--I have the right to ap.
peal, and ! ask that the prisoner be not
discharged
Judge Wylie-That is your look out.
The prisoner is now discharged.
Mr. Carrington--I then ask that the
prisoners s bail be renewed.
Judge Wyiie-Oh! you can appeal if
you like; but the prisoner is now dis
chaged.
Mr. Carrington not your honor re-
new the bail of the prisoner? | propose

res~The Mauston sStar says: Hop
picking is over About one halt of the
crop has been saved, and perhaps half the
quantity picked is of fair quality Very
many yards have not been touched at all
others yet have standing from one>third to
one>halt the poles. Few growers saved
the whole crop. The result is very discour-
aging to both farmers and merchants, and
in some cases will produce much trouble
and, we fear, heavy lo,s,s But few buy
crs are set in the market, and only nomina;
prices are offered The highest price we
have heard offered to-day, Wednesday, is
only twenty cents. A few growers pressed
for funds to meet immediate necessities,
have accepted such offers. but the bulk of
the crop is yet held by the producers, and
they generally, declare that they win only
sell for price above present offers"

Paris, sept 70.
The Moniteur has the following from
Spain Catalonia is quiet, The news Of
the battle between the royal army under
Parivia, and the insurgents under Serrano,
was momentarly expected, as at last ac~
counts the hostile forces we're nearing each
other. Jose Salamances was sent to Queen
Isabella by Gen. Concha, that young Prince
Asturias might go to the capita! and as
sumo the government Of the nation. The
Queen refused, and returned reply that

bers aud assasins. -

ing in large numbers, and he was obliged
to stop his march and wait for reinforce
ments from Cudad, Real and Badjos,

i'm.
The following accounts come from other
sources:
The revolution In Spain is the result of
union OF the constitutional, moderate and
liberal parties in an effort to overthrow the
reignng dynasty. The feet has joined the
movement because the sailors are unpaid,
and the greater part of the army have re-
voltcd because they are Indignant at the

Queen, resists aud holds the masses in
check as far as it can.

red spirits and gray and it is the great
subject OF laughter now, and will be until
election is over, among Democrats. We
wilI not say that great many prominent
Republicans are swearing mad, for swear
ing is no name for the disgust they feel for
the nauseating dose attempted to be showed
down their throats. 1t is some of the most
respectable Republicans who never swear
that do not hesitate to denounce openly
and in the most bitter terms, the wanton
insult offered them. 1t is such men as
HENRY SIBREE, the candidate of that par
ty for Senator two years ago, and vino has
done more hard work for it, and who pos
sesses more talent than any man in it, :hat
avow their intention to oppose it to the
bitter end. 1t is for Republicans to scowl
and grumblc. 1t is for Democrats to laugh
heartily until the day of our Conventions,
ami then every son of mother Of US MUST
