IL IS only flower that give you,
-, hundred leaved, damask-dyed rose;
Smut 1t In there between the dark pages
when that book of encbantment you close.
But when it is crushed there and withered,
And you-still rose in your bloom,
Lift 1t up with your careless white fingers,
Take it out of its magical tomb,
1t will spread with lis fragrance around YOU
The spell of breeze-shaken tune,
An hour In garden of roses,
morning of sunshine and June;
A face that implored with pale passion,
Empty arms that entreated you, sweet,
And heart that had persisted to please you,
Trodden under your pitiless feet!

" 1T cost the Court wonderful deal of
trouble to hear the testimonies of the suffer-
ers; for when they were going to give in their
dispositions. they would for long time be ia
ken with fits, that made them quite uncapa-
BILE of saying anything. The chief judge
asked the prisoner, who he thought hindered
these witnesses from giving their testimonies;
and he answered, he supposed it was the Dew
il. The honorable person then replied, elbow
comes the Devil so loath to have any testi-
mony borne against your" which cast him
into very great confusion.
1.-The scene at the trial must have been
wonderfully dramatic. The court house was
crowded with people, who gave up their bust
ness and came from all quarters to witness the
terrible drama. The prisoner was closely
guarded, lest any motion of his should tor
ture bis supposed victims. He looked upon
the people to whom he had formerly dis
pensed the bread of life, now all scowling
fiercely upon him, and firmly believing that
he was leagued with the enemy of their souls
to destroy them; upon his brethren in the
ministry, all united against him, and thirsting
for his blood; upon jury of his old parish
toner's, all preconvinced of his guilt; upon
his judges and the law officers, all torturing
the evidence against him; and upon his ac-
cusers, who alternately raved wildly against
him, and fell into fits which were supposed
to be the effects Of his supernatural power.
He had no defender, and the honest and
meek defence which he preferred, was re-
ceved as the inspiration of the fiend. The
relatives Of his first two wives were present,
listening, with wrathful souls, to the wit
ness who testified that she had seen the two
women appear in their winding sheets with
napkins round their heads, exhibiting their
mortal wounds, and saying that their blood
did cry for vengeance against him, their MUIR
derer. Aud when his fellow victims, to save
their own lives, admitted that they were
witches, and that ne was their chief and led
their orgies, his last hopes must have van
ished in dismay. To have suffered in a
righteous cause, feeling that sympathizing
hearts were beating for him, would have in
spired him with resolution, but here every
one to whom he should have looked for COM
fort and sympathy was against him, and the
brotherhood of his own church, who should
have stood by his side until death, thrust
back bis appeals with scorn and loathing,
booming his body to death, his remains to
the clefts of the rocks. his memory to oblo-
guy, and his soul to damnation.

tern side of Salem, a sombre and desolate

4 NEW DEP4RTCRE.

With this issue we change our day of publication from Thursday to Tuesday. This change has been found necessary because of the numerous complaints which reach us of the BEE not coming to the hand of our subscribers until the week following it's issue.
 In some instances the fault has been our own. being behind one day in reach ing the press. Wehope by changing the day that some ifnot all, of our sub8crib- CTS, will get their papers tho same week of publication. especially those living at a distance.
