He could do it in those DAYS when his stock

changing fashions when much of a jewellers

Ralph listened to these explanations with

possibly show the sale? The old gentleman
admitted that he had a lot of his fathers old
account books up in garrett; but it would
be very troublesome to get at them; and

was not an affair of mere idle curiosity; and
after that he entered into the quest with ar
dor. Pilgrim, his father had kept each wear
sort of rough day-book, in which he en-
tered transactions as they occurred, with oc-
casional short annotations. And at last, after
long troublesome search, they found the
book for the years 1760 and 1861. Nothing
was to be made of the first; but in the Sec

voices OF winds wall through the hollow sky,
Like smitten instruments the forest rings;
The brown dead leaves are as Egyptian kings
Laid each by each, embalmed in spicery-
A sweet dull scent of death whose majesty
Weareth the crown which life hath laid away
Their dust enduring past their living day.
Though these were kings that unremembered lie.
Who now shall speak the names of them, or tell
Their deeds? What story of them yet lingereth?
As: This was lord of red host that fell;
This died before the ripening of his praise;
And this, gold-garmented, fulfilled of DAYS.
Went down the wind his way to happy death.

Littlepage, the FOrger.

HIS DUMBNEss PRONOUNCED FEIGNED
BY MEDICAL EXPERTS.
James Littlepage, who was convicted
of forgery in the Henrico County Court
and sentenced to the penitentiary, made
an application to the Governor for par
don some time since.
1t will be remembered that when
Littlepage was convicted the iirst time
he lost his speech, since which time he
has been dumb. This was one of the
principal grounds upon which the ap-
plication for pardon was based. The
Governor, after giving the matter much
consideration, determined to have Lit
tlepage examined by medical experts.
He accordingly appointed on the COM
mission Doctors Joynes, Cullen, Wal
ker, Whit, and Cunningham. Ysster-
day these gentlemen visited the prisoner.
They found him IN good health, and
after vainly endeavoring to get him to
speak, they administered ether. AS
soon as he was under it's influence ne
began to talk. The first thing, Little
page said, "All right, ] will tell the
whole truth about the matter, although
l am gene up for two years" Several
questions We're propou1ded by the doc
tors, to which he quickly responded in
an intelligent manner, Littlepage would
have made full confession if the doc
tors had seen fit to question him in ref
erence to the matter, but as they were
sent to ascertain if his dumbness was
real or feigned, they only questioned
him sufficiently to satisfy themselves
on this point. After Littlepage had
been revived he refusedpto speak. The
doctors then told him his little game
was up, and he would have to go over
to Col. Swann's.
The governor refused to pardon HIM.
