The answer was: because we couidn't :;
that's all. They hal formed solemn compact
and put their matters wholly in the hands OF
LEONARD SWEET and Sidney Smith. and these
gentlemen said, with considerable appearance Of
justice, Nov,
You ought not to take couple OF our clients

ton of getting of, while tho others have to
catch the e1teut OF the law That wouldn't

tue depth and breadth OF the Ring"
.s Why" continued the gentleman, tho case
against these fellows ID just abont the samo as 1t
would be against
ZEN BoyD AND his GANG
Of counterfeiters in the same place. Say, for
Instance. that Boyd was in New York. and lie had
sent out twelve men to sell conutcr-
fat money throughout the West. Now, sup-
pose we caught six OF those follows,
and we had them tight SO that they couldn't get
away by any chance, and suppose we had cap
tureA all their money. ana they enOn!Q say 10
us: Now, Won have caught us, and VIC own
that; but dou't you bolieye it would be for the
interest OF the public service if you were to let
ua p!ea.l guilty On one count and take our chances
of gettsug little mildcr term, ami in return We
will give you tho names of tho other six men,
who have about $1utl.00o OF counterfeit money
apiece viii! them, and We will tell You where
thov arc, all Of them, and we will
tell you where Boyd ill., and you can
capture thc whole gang? Now, don't you be-
iievo it would be for tho public interest it ne
wcro to do az thoy ask us, aud break up the
whole id business, instead OF sco.chl.ls it ?
Certainly it woald- Just this was the caBe
with tho Whisky Hing. We couldn't makeit

When Ncssrs. Hutchius and Cochran pleaded

was tho understanding Of their attorney. Col.
Juessen, that no new bond would be necessary

aftor considering the matter, decided that ono

There's little mischief maker,
That Is stealing half our bliss,
Sketching pictures IN a dream-land
That are never seen in this,
Dashing from the lips the pleasures
or the present while we sigh;
1ou may know this mischief maker,
For his name is By-and-By.
He is sitting by your hearthstones,
With his sly, bewitching glance,
Whisp'ring OF the coming morrow
As the social hours advance,
Lettering mid our calm reflections,
Hiding forms OF beauty nigh;
He's smooth 6eceitful fellow,
This enchanter, By-and-By.
You may know him by his winning,
By his careless, spOrtive air;
by his sly, obtrusiye presence,
That is strayins everywhere,
By trophies that he gathers
Where his sombrc victims lie,
For bold, determined fellow
Is this conqEerOr, By-ana-By.
When the calls of duty haunt US,
AND the present seems to be
All the time that ever mortals
Snatch from dark eternity,
Then fairy hand seems painting
Pictures on painted sky.
For a cunning little artist
Is the fairy, By-and-By.
'By-and-By' the wind is singing,
'By-and-By' the heart replies:
But the phantom just above us
Ere We grasp It ever flies.
List not to the idle charmer,
Scorn the very specious lie
Do not believe or trust in
This decelver, By-and-By.

WINTER IN the HEART.

Spring, with its sunshine and showers,
Summer, with soft golden hours.
Autumn, with rlsh fields and flowers,
One by one. all disappear;-
Now are the dreary winds signing,
Thickly the dead leaves are lying,
Nature is mOurnfully crying,
Winter, stern winter, is here!'
Over me. slowly, comes stealing
a cOldness. terror, cOngealing
All of life's vain, flowing feeling;-
Love, hope and joy, all depart;
Friends all around me are falling,
sorrow my soul is appalling,
Low spirlt-vOices are calling,
Winter is come to thy hearth
Hopes Of my youth, gay and splen did,
With beauty and glory attended,
With ives glowing radiance blended,
Have vanished, all vanished away
And now without sunshine and gladness,
iar-reaching vision of sadness,
Changing only from gloom to madness,
Life stretches out, misty and gray.
Oflove. have known but the sorrow;
No longer from joy can borrow
- The rose-linted prism of life;-
Weary with signing and weeping,
Weary with sad vigils keeping.
Low in the quiet grave sleeping.
Soon let me rest. from the strife!
Thus spoke my heart, in misgiving,
Tired oil the struggle of living,
Doubling, regretting and grieving,
Alike for the present and past.
The h ours OF the dark days were neetine,
The rain on the window was heating;
The trees moaned and sobbed. as repeating
Its blows, came the pitiless blast.
A blue rift in the west slowly started;
The lew.hanging rain clouds were parted,
Rosy shafts of pure light upward darrsd,
Enkindling the sky in their might.
Faith sprang up, renewed, in my spirit,
One promise all true hearts inherit,
AT eventide there shall be lightn {"

court of justice i'll the open air not
far away. His curiosity was excited
by the singularity of the event and
the elegance OF the sandal, and he of.
