GRIM HUMoR.-The following blithe para
graph from New York paper illustrates what
passes in that city for fun:
To-day our murder market is steady. Con-
yictions weak, with a downward tendency.
Chances for new trials brisk and improving.
Ccrtainties of executions scarcely quoted at all
There are eight convicted murderers in the
Tombs, and four awaiting the action of the
courts, Only one is counted on as poor con,
tribution to the galows and he is poor man
who killed his wife in a drunken quarrel.

Many years ago lady sent her ser,
vent-a young man about twenty years
Of age, and native OF tho country Of
where his mistress resided-to n neigh.
boring town, with ring which required
some alteration, to be delivered into the
hands OF q jeweller. The young man
went the shortest way, across the field;
and coming to n little wooden bridge
that crossed n small stream, he leaned
against the rail, and took the ring out
OF the case TO look ut it, While doing
Sc, it slipped out OF his hand and fell
into the water. In vain lie searched for
it, even till it grew dark. He thought
il fell into the hollow Of stump Of n
tree under water but he could not find
il. Tho time taken in search was so
long, TINT lie feared to return md tell
his story-thinking it incredible, and
thai he should even 10 suspected Of
having gone into evil company, md
gained it away or sold II. Tn this fear,
he determined never to return-leit
wages and clothes, and fairly ran away.
This seemingly great misfortune was the
making of him. His intermediate life
we Know not but this-aiter many
years absence, either in the East or West
Indies, he returned with considerable
fortune. He now wished to clear himself
with his old mistress. Ascertaining she
was living, he purchased diamond Of
considerable value, which he determined
to present IN person, and clear his char
acter by telling bis tale, which the credit
Of tbs present position might testify.
He took the coach to the town above
alluded to, and from thence set ont to
walk tho distance Of few miles. He
found, We should tell you, on alighting,
n gentleman who resided in the neigh.
borhOod, and was bound for the adjacent
village. They walked together; and, in
conversation, this former servant, now n
gentleman, with graceful manners and
agreeable address, committed the circum.
stances that made him leave the country
abruptly many years before. As he was
telling this, they came to the very wooden
bridge.
"Therc, said lie, sit WIS just here
that dropped the ring; and there is
the very bit Of old tree, into hole Of
which It fell-iust there"
At the same time he put down the point
Of hi0 umbrella into the hole of a knot
in the tree, and, drawing it up, to the
astonishment OF both, found the very
ring on the ferulO OF the umbrella.
