A TRUE LADY, was once walking q

tifal clothes, wondered If she took half as
much pains With her heart asshe did with
her body. A poor old man was coming up
the walk with loaded wbeelbaTroW. and Just
before he reached us, he made two attempts
TO go into the yard Of house. but the gstei
was heavy, and would swing back before he.
could get in.s a.

received his thanks with pleasant smile, and,
she passed on.

ferred also sold up to 8. Ohios were strong at

however, in the trausactions worthy Of special

WIITING ron DEATH.
The Educated Murderer Confined in the
Hampstead Jail.


Hampstead Jail.
William Delaney, the murderer of Capt.
Lawrence, who is to be hanged In Hampstead
on the 10Th Of December, Is not resigned to hts
fate. Recently he attempted to starve himself
TO death, and abstalned from food long enough
to nJure his health. The Tumor that his mind
is becoming affected has no foundation. For q
time he was sanguine OF having his sentence
mitig ted, and said that N new trial would not
cost more than tJOO no could procure that sum.
Delaney Is the first man in New York State
convicted under the statute that IN axes homi-
eide, accompanied 10y robbery, murder In the
first degree, whether prem editatcd OF not. There
H. m ureteuce made that he intended to Kill his
victim. Judge Pratt, who tried the case, was
not converssnt with the statute, and was sur
prised at the District Attorneys refusal to ac-
cent a plea OF guilty of murder in the Second de-
gree. After the trial District Attorney Downing
visited Delaney and explained his position as
prosecuting counsel, Delaney listening and an
swering intelligentlv. The District Attorney
offered to send his clerk to assist Delaney in any
correspondence he might wish TO make, but he
prisoner laughed and said, II can COM pose and
write a much better letter than you might sup
pose, Mr.. Downing. | don't look much like a

and there he ceived an excellent education.
