to meet him, as she was, without mo.

livion of his sin in Other countries we
know not, but let us hope that he may
strive to atone for the life he has led.
Old Mr.. Boyer forgase Arthur, and
buried the two side by SIDE, in his place
in the Cemetery. To-day, as strangers
traverse the grounds, the story Of the
two lovers is told to them by the keeper,
and often their graves Gull forth tears,
even from those who kuow them not.
IT'S thus the lives Of these two noble
beings ended. How hard it seems to us
that two that loved each other so, wero
not permitted to live to enjoy one ano,h-
er's society. But their happy dreams
were cut short in the morning of their
glory, aud they are no moro.

Twelve nv tho rlc.,-

About twenty years ago, when Frank
lin Pierce aud the present Senator Clark
stood at the head Of the Hilsborough
bar, in New HamR Rghire, thern was upon
'he docket celebrated suit called the
"horse case" The asti9n was Brought
by Smith :E 5ones, tho livery stable
keepers, against one White, to recover
the value of a pair Of horses alleged to
have been killed by the defendant while
conveying al insane man to the asylum
at Concord. There WAS plenty of proof
that the horses died soon after their ar
rival there; but the defendant took the
ground that they died of disease, and
not by being overheated, and that suf-
6cient time had been allowed them to
travel that distance With case. Tneu it
became necessary to show the jury the
time of starting aud the time Of arrival.
Many citizens were brought forward,
among them tall, bony, slab-slded,
lsnky. sleepy-looking fellow, who ofieil-
ted us hostlcr ut the stable. The follow
ing is she substance of the c..c!aaing
portion of the exauinasioa.:

Kicked by a Mule.

Jake Johnson had mule. There was
nothing remarkable in the mere fact Of
his being the possessor of such an ami
NAL, but there was something peculiar
about his mule. He-the animal.
could kick higher, hit harder on the
slightest provocation, and act uglier than
any mule on record
One morning, riding his property to
market, Jake met Jim Boggs, against
whom he had an old but concealed
grudge. He knew Boggs' weakness lay
in Dragging and betting; therefore he
saluted him accordingly
GLOW are you, Jim? Fine morn
ing"
Hearty, squire" replied Jim. "Fiue
weather. Nice mule that you have.
Will he do to bet on?"
''Bet on Guess he will that. I tell
you, Jim Boggs, he's the best mule in
this country"
"Great smash Is that SO ?' ejacula-
ted Jim.
"Solid truth, every word of it. Tell
you confdentially, Jim, I'm taking him
down for betting purposes. 1 bet he can
kick fly off from any man without its
hurting him."
"Now, look here, squire" said Jim,
II am not tetting character, "but Iii
bet you something on that myself"
"Jim, there's no use don't bet, 1
don't want to win your money"
Don't be alarmed, squire, I'll take
such bets as them every time"
"Well, if you are determined to bet,
| will risk small s.akc-say five dol
lars"
"All right, squire, you're my man.
But who'll lie kick the fly off? There
is no one here but you and L. You try
it,"
"No," says Johnson : ~ have to be
by the mules head to order him."
sob! yaas," says jim. "TLen prob
ably I'm the man. Wa'aal, I'll do it /;
but you are to bet ten against my FIVE, If
risk it."
Gall right" quoth tho squire. "Now
thcrs is a fly on your shoulder. Stand
still" And johnson adjusted the mule
"Whist, Jervey," said he.
The mule raised his heels with suef
velocity and force that Boggs rose in the
air like bird, and alighted on all fours
in muddy ditch, bang up against rail-
fence
Rising, in a towering rage, he ex-
claimed. "Yaas, that Is smart! know
your darued mule couldn't do It. You
had that all put up. wouldn't be
kicked like that for ffty dollars. You
can just fork over them ere stakes for it
any way"
"Not so fast, Jim !; Jeryey did just
what said he could; that is, kick fy
of u man without its hurting him. You
see, the mule is not injuyed by the
operation. However, if you are not sat
isfed, We will try it again as often as you
wish"
"The deuce take you." growled Jim.
"1'd rather have barn fall on me at
orcc than have that critter kick Inc
again. Keep the stakes, but don't say
anything about it,"
And Boggs trudgod on in bitterness of
soul, murmuring to himself, "Sold, by
