The pipe, % lily.lIke and weak,
Does thus thy mortal state bcspeak
Thou srt ey'n such,
Gone with touch.
Thus think, and smoke tobIcco.
And when the smoke ascends on high.
Then thou behOld'st the vanity
OF worldly stun.
Gone with puf.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
And when the pipe grove foul within,
Think on thy soul denled with sin;

Thus think. aud smoke tobacco.
And seest the ashes cast away;
Then to thyself thou msyes. say,
That 10 the dust
Return thou must.
Thus think, and smOke tobacco.

So was the Plant Of great renown;
Which mercy sends
For nobler ends

Thus think, aud smoke tobacco.
The promise, like the pipe, inlays.
And by the mouth Of faith conveys
What virtue fl1ws
From Sharon rose
Thus think, and smoke toblcco.

Their than that the shooting was dore
without criminal intent. u fact to which
the coroner's jury failed to give express.

In view of this fact, Justice Bsueh
had no alternative but to hold her.
Accordingly he made out mitti".us
and she was to-day brought to the city
aud gwen to the custC dy Of the sher-
i'll, but he did not commit her to Jail,
as an application for her discharge on
writ of habeas corpus had been made
to his honor, Judge Zane. This alter
noon number Of witnesses were ex-
amined, including Miss Anderson her
self, aud Mr.. Secmans, the father Of

the trigger, The pistol was
discharged, and imme diately
Seemans started to run, exclaim

Guiding deceased, had been in the
habit OF pointing it at one another mud

was an entire absence of any criminal
intent, aud States Attorney Hamilton.
when the testimony had all been ellie
tied, stated that he could not ask the
Judge to hold her, and her discharge
was ordered.
The Judge, however, took occasion
TO speak in terms Of censure Of the
carelessness exhibited in handling the
weapon, including in ms structures Mr..
and Mrs. Smith, at whose house the
shooting occurred, Upon the release
