These tiny lOtterers the Iarley's beard
And happy units of mum 'oQs herd
OF payfelIows, the laughir suumcr brings
Aocking the sunshine on cir glitt9ring wings
How merrily they creep, Al ! rum and fly
No kin they bear to Iabors lrudgery,
Smoothing the velvet of tn pale hedge-rose,
And where they fly for dim er no one knows
The dew-drops feed them Iot they love the shin
OF noon whose SUI 8 ns " l ing them golden wins
All day they're pa YIN in their Sunday dress;
When night repose eo ,ney do no less!
Then to the heath-belIs ,ple hood they fly,
And, like to princes in theg siumber, lie
Secure from rain and dropping dews, and all
On silken beds in rOomy, painted hall.
So merrily they spend their summer day,
Now in the corn-felds, new the new-mown hay.
One almost fanCies that such happy things,
With colOred hoods and richly FURNISHED wings,
And fairy folk in splendid masquerade
Disguised, rs If of mortal folk afraid,
Keeping their joyous pranEs mystery still,
Lest glaring day should do their secrets i'll.

1t appears that medical experts in
Europe can stultify themselves as sue
cessfully as some of their brethren
here in Yankeeland. A writer in Apple
tons Journal gives an account of the
trial of a man in Belgium, charged with
the crime of poisoning. The alleged
victim of poison, N Rigaud, resided in
Bruges the trial of the person accused
took place in that city, and at that very
time was held a meeting of the royal
medical society, of which the deceased
was a member. On the trial two doc
tors testified confnently to the pres
ence of arsenic, their testimony being
of the highest interest, to professional
men especially. A third expert gave
his opinion that the evidence was en-
tirely inadequate to prove the presence
of poison in the stomach of the deceas-
ed. He is reported to have said furth.
ermore that the process employed
would generate arsenic. Somebody
must have bluadered here, however:
either the chemist in his testimony, OF
the reporters. The last witness sum.

a letter which was handed by the de

to the witness, by whom it was produe

I know a shady bower,
A sweet secluded nook,
Where many a bTight-eyed flower
Bends down to kiss the brook,
Ny path lies down hollow,
Where ripping waters run;
hope no one will follow,
For there's only room for one.
But If d bonnie maiden
Whose name I dare not tell
Should, with wild flowers laden,
Draw near my bosky dell,
I, in q voice c2ressing,
Would tell, and tell her true,
That with a little pressing
There might be room for two.
I'd crown her with wild roses,
I'd throne her on the green,
And whilst she there repOses,
I'd kHeel before my queen.
Should any one perceive US,
In this we'd both agree
We'd tell them to believe us
There was not room for three.

Within garden shade,
A garden sweet and dim,
Two happy children played
Together; he was made,
For God, and she fO1 him.
Beyond the gardens shade,
In deserts drear and dim,
. Two outeast children strsys&
Together, he betrayed
By her, and she by hin.
Together, girl and boy,
They wandered, ne'er apart;
Zach wrought to each annoy,
Yet each knew never JOY
Save in the others heart.
By her so oft deceived;
By him so sore oppressed;
They each the other grieved,
Yet each of each was best
Beloved, and still caressed.
And she was in his sight
Found fairest, still his prize,
His constant chief delight;
She raised 10 him her eyes
That led her not Alright.
And ever by his side
A patient huntress ran
Through forests dark and wide,
And still the woman's pride
And glory was the man.
When her he would despise,
She kept him captive bound;
FOrbidding her to rise,
By many cords and ties
She held him to the ground.
At length, in stature grown,
He stands erect and free;
Yet stands he not alone,
For his beloved would be
Like him she loVeth wise, like hin Hh
loveth free.
10 wins she her desire,
Yet stand they not apart;
For as she doth aspire
He grows, nor stands she higher
Than her Beloved's heart.

JOURNALISM is fast extending through

criminals who are hired out to work are
encouraged to buy newspapers and
books with the earnings they obtain, to

TIM last English files contain the par.
ticulars of the trial at Durham of Mary
Ann Cotton, the West Auckland

surance of from S25 to $50 on the life
of each victim, poisoned during the last
twelve years three husbands, her moth

others. The child was born in Durham
Prison since the incarceration of its
mother few months ago, and the name

A PEOPLES JUDGE.

Judge Upton, Of the Bloomington cir
cult, in a recent railroad case, rendered
decision which will probably open the way
to very important results in regard to aid
furnished by towns, cities. and counties in
building railroads. Among other points,
as we understand his decision, he says:
The town and county bonds issued in aid
of railroad are valid lien on It which
cannot be destroyed or set aside by other
liens Of fictitious character; and that
when the railroad company traudulently
deprive towns and counties Of their rights
and interests by outside sale, lease or con
tract, the injured towns and counties may
recover at common law
1t has heretofore been generally thought
that when county or town makes such a
subscription, the money is gone forever
the only consideration that can be received
back being the indirect benefits conferred
by the road on local property. But Judge
Upton, in the case decided above, State
that the interests Of bona hde stockholders
whether individuals or counties and towns
are not to be submerged under any pre-
tense whatever. In this view of the ques
ton there is no good reason why nearly a
the town and county subscriptions to raj
roads in this State should not ultimately b
recovered from the roads. A director
has no right TO dissipate the interests
towns and counties by unnecessary debt
or proaigate contracts, or watered stoe
which impair the original stock. II
courts have authority under the commt
law to hold directors TO a rigorous accour
10 displace them if they abuse their tru'
and TO exact Of them an administration
the road based on its actual cost, not
fictitious capital If some proceedin
could be authorized by our legislature
maintain the rights of counties as Ii
down in the decision, it would be gr'
relief to those counties burdened with ri
road debts for which they never expect
receive any consideration.
