EXCITING SCENE IN A COURT Room.
AN old man named Stowe was on tri-
al at Janesville, Wis, last week, charged
with the murder Of a young man named
Roberts. On Thursday an exciting scene
occurred at the close of the speech Of
the District Attorney. Mrs. Roberts,
the aged mother of the murdered man,
who had been quiet and attentive lis-
tener to the argument, arose and said
that she desired to make few remarks
to the jury. The Judge requested her
to sit down, but she was persistent, and
the Sheriff was compelled to interfere.
She took her seat for moment. and the
officer stepped away, when she again
sprang to her feet, exclaiming, " He kill
ed my son and l will kill him !" rushed
upon the old man Stowe, and grasping
him by the throat and head, caused the
blood to flow from the wounds she in
ficted. The Sheriff and bis assistants
interfered, and she was forced from the
court room, still declaring that she would
yet accomplish her purpose. 1t produc-
ed quite sensation among the audience
for a brief period, but the officers prompt
ly restored order.

Did not dare call on my sister. the
widow of General Finch ?" and the
tinge of contempt mingled with the look
of surprise and indignation with which
he contemplated the abashed and crest
fallen young preacher.
After reaching his sisters residence,
he questioned her in regard to the mat
ter but she could only tell him that
since her residence in the place she had
been " let alone" in full acceptance of
the term. Determined to understand
the wherefore of such proceeding, he
again demanded explanation of the min.
lister who was finally compelled to admit
that he had supposed from the gossip of
church members, that the woman was
very outcast from society, and that there
had been talk of driving her from the
place.
She will not care to remain" said
the Professor; g but before, she goes /
will sift this matter thoroughly !" and
SO he did, gathering up link by link, tke
whole chain Of scandal until he came to
Mrs. Lawrence. But this she utterly
denied, and Mrs, Thomas was at last
obliged to confess that Mrs. Lawrence
had merely shrugged her shoulders and
curled her lip, when asked her opinion
of her new neighbor.
All, indeed!" was Mrs. Lawrences
rejoinder. 81 remember of thinking
she could not be much of lady, as she
wore faded delaine and did her own
washing"
The Professor preached the following
Sunday, and at the conclusion of the
discourse, repeated the tale of wrong,
adding: "Had this woman really been
poor and friendless, as supposed, what
would the end have been /? Deprived of
her good name, and in consequence. of
all means of earning livelihood, she
would doubtless have been discouraged
and despondent, and sunk down to the
grave a victim of the scandal Of those
calling themselves Christians and who
in the sight of God would not only have
been classed among liars, but murder
ers."

A FRIEND.-We can hardly imagine
richer blessing than the possession of a
true and tried friend ; one who, in sor-
row, will give us sympathy, and in trou-
BILE help; who will faithfully advise and
afectionately love; who will rebuke us
when wrong, and encourage US when
right; who will not abandon us when in
adversely, nor disown when the world
frowns; who watches us, not to find
fault, but to save, and follows us, to do
good. The advantage of such friend,
no tongue can tell, and no description
exaggerate. She is better than healsh or
wealth, and a smile from her brow, is to
be priced above all earthly jewels. If
ours is such gift, we should be thank
ful indeed. 1t is not by the stranger,
nor by the common acquaintance in life,
that we feel solicitations of being re.
membered, but by the we'll chosen friend
who is ever capable, by his presence, to
add to, OF by his absence to diminish,
our pleasures.
Next to the divine and unerring heart
which guides our every path through
life, stands our friend. 1t is to our friend
we reluctantly give the parting hand and
repress the falling tear.-Mary Whit
comb.

ONE OF THE TRAGEDIES oFTHE WEST.
The Davenport Iowa, Democrat tells
the following story =" Hans is good at
pitch" but not a success as a provider.
He won't make any money himself, and
he spends what Gretchen makes. She
interviewed a druggist. He promised
arsenic, smelt a rat, put Hans on his
guard, and gave Gretchen starch instead
of poison. Hans threw up his hand and
went home. 1t was somewhat late and
he could risk it an hour with the would
be murderesa. Next day everything
moved on just the same. Hans didn t
eat very hearty breakfast, and went up
town to buy his provender. At dinner
he came home hungry, and pitched into
the victuals with unspeakable avidity.
His jaws soon lightened on the treacher-
GUS starch. He gavea yell and doubled
up like wounded boa constructor. He
fell on the floor and had spasms. In
short, he took on scollops high. His
wife sat by, enjoying the spectacle, and
tenderly inquiring, :" Wat is per matter
NIT Hans?" When he had become in
sensible, she went up stairs, three at a
time, and let down good sized rope
through an augur hole into the room
where Hans lay. Then she came down
and fastened the rope around his neck,
propped him up in a sitting position, and
again went up stairs. But Hans had an
inkling Of her fell intent, and coming to
himself, with remarkable presence of
mind he undid the moose from his neck
and slipped it around the leg of the din
ner table, then he calmly sat down in a
chair and awaited developments. The
way that table lit across the floor the
next minute was caution. 1t was
yanked all out of shape, and every dish
on it smashed into thousand pieces, and
then the piece of furniture drawn tight
up against the ceiling. Soon after was
heard the voice of his beloved wife from
the upper chamber window, calling out
in accents of grief that her dear lord
had committed suicide, and the neigh
bors commenced to run towards the
house. Coming down stairs she met the
irate Hans, who advanced threatenipgly
brandishing formidable switch, with
which he proceeded to belabor her most
numerically. Gretchen could not see
how it "was come to was" that Hans
could swallow poison with impunity, and
gives it up as bad job. Hans enjoys
his customary evening games, and has
his opinion of a man who can't govern
his own household.
