trial, in ruling out the offer to show that
the prisoner was under apprehension of
Fisk's violence, end erred in excluding
proof that Stokes was watched and docged
by unknown parties; also that unqualified
persons were on the jury On these
points they will ask that new trial be
granted. This is tie only chance the

Adoniram Podse got a liberal price
For the truck that he took to town:

And the wood was straight on the top of his

And crooked and gnarled below
But the heavier part, on a rutty road,

Adonirams Bible was worn and old
From the usage that it he'd got;
But piece of knowledge that was never told
Was whether he used it or not;

For he was not much of doer

With the story that they were poor.

To Sroan when the minister PRAYED

And how much money he paid;
And he had: in frame, in his old front room.

Adoniram Podge kept hired man,
And he fed him on cabbage and beans,
Which were kept cooked up in an old tin pan.
Along with some pig-weed greens;
And he made him work from the break OF dav
Til the sun took its final lurch,
And locked HIM then of a quarter his pay,
That the savings might so to the church.
Adoniram finally died one night
And left the farm to his son,
Who follows as near as a true son might
In the course his father run;
And he daily drives to the market town
With the mare and her spawned legs;
And he boards up money and salts it down
BY selling his butter and eggs.

Ali memories gather sweet, ye said,
About this little kitchen,
As ever rocks and ancient trees
Are won't to grow the lichen.
1t is an humble place, know,
Unlike the roorHs OF story,
And vet the westean door lets in
A food of golden glory.
1t hangs the low and smoky walls
With tapestry, whose shining
Was never equaled yet by loom,
Nor could, by man designing.
And yet, among the things | see,
None gives me so much pleasure
AS three young children in the sun,
Who strive to take their measure.
Three little shadows on the wall
They view with smiling glances,
And yet it fills thc.F mothers heart
With many gathering flncics.
Win each noble figure cast
Upon Times glowing mirror?
Or will their souls contract 10y sin,
And show but dwarfs Of error =
Or will their mo Their live to see,
With bitter, bitter crying.
The shadow Of three little graves
Beside the fourth one lying
That precious one, long gone before,
Who claimed our first affection,
And carried by Our Fathers hand
From us to Heavens perfection.

For ouc Thou hast already,
And help me guide the loved below
With hand both strong and steady.

Adoniram Podge was lank and lean
AS withered up stalk of corn,
And his face was solemn as ever was seen
Since the days when Adam was born.
He lived on a farm on the edge OF town,
And he managed to keep on his legs
by hoardlns up money and sailing it down
When he sold his butter ana eggs.
His face Was as long as piece of chalk,
And his eyes were little and gray;
And he hacked when he opened his mouth to
talk,
And twitcbed in an awkward way.
His voice was sharp as steel spring trap,
And his head was minus of hair
But he covered it up with an old fur cap
That his gran dfather used to wear.
