a conyulsive shndder passed through
his frame, and he expired.
: Meanwhile, Bixton, terribly frighen-
ed, had run over to DR.. Melville's house.
: Well2" asked the doctor.
!" You did not kill him he recognized
meW gasped the william.
The Doctor uttered blasphemous oath.
Some one is now with him." contin-
ued Bixton, pantingly. oh, hide me,
hide me!
No, mol" cried the bafied physician,
"Get out Of my house this very moment,
or shall shout for the polce!'
BiXton implored him not to give him
up. but DR.. Melville, who was perfectly
beside himself with rage, began to shout:
Watch! Police! Police?
The constable across the street heard
the shouts, hurried over to the house Of
the physician, and took the despairing
Bixton into custody.
At the station house he immediately
made clean breast Of the whole trans
action, whereupon DR.. Melville was like
wise arrested.
The physician had regained his pres
ence of mind, and denied Bixton's char
ges against him with the utmost GOODNESS.
But his denials were unavailing in the
face of thedamnatoryc ircmumstancial ev-
ldence confirming Bixton's statements
against him. Indictments for murder in
the first degree were found against them
at the next term Of the Circuit Court.
When the trial came off an able defense
was made In behalf of DR.. Melville,
whose counsel strenuously tried to prove
that Bixton had insiliously robbed the
Doctor, and STOLEN the articles found
with him with the intention of saddling
the guilt on Melville's shoulders in case
he should be detected in his CRIME.
Notwithstanding the able speeches of
the defendants lawyer, the two prisoners
were found guilty, and hung in the pres
ence OF an immense concourse of people
on the 21st of January, 1882.

A Well-Matched Pair

A lady travelling in England tells the
following: Along with my brother, who
was collecting matter for work he was
about to publish, I visited the interest
ing town of Hexham - interesting at
least to him, for it was a fine field for
historical research although, for my
own part, / found little to admire beside
its ancient church. The circumstance
which more than anything else secured
the dingy town a lasting place in my
memory was our taking a lodging with
an extraordinary pair an old man and
woman, husband and wife, who lived
by themselves without child or servant,
subsisting on the letting of their parlor
and two bedrooms. They were tall,
thin and erect. though each seventy years
of age. When we knocked at the door
for admittance. they answered it together
if we rang the bell, the husband and wife
! invariably appeared side by side; all our
requests and demands were received by
both, executed with the utmost nicely
and exactness.
The first night arriving late by the
coach from Newcastle: and merely re-
quiring good FIRE and our tea, we were
puzzled to understand the reason OF this
double attendance; and remember my
brother rather irreverently wondering
whether we were always to be waited
upon by these Saimse twins. On ring
ing the bell to retire for the night, both
appeared as usual-the wife carrying the
bedroom candlestick, the husband at the
door. / gave her directions about break
fast for the following morning, when the
husband from the door quickly answered
for her.
Depend upon it, she is dumb"
whispered my brother.
But this was not the case, though she
rarely made use of the faculty of speech.
They both attended me into my bedroom
when the old lady, seeing me look with
some surprise toward her husband, said:
"There's no offense meant, ma'am, by
my husband coming with me into the
mber-he's stone blind"
"Poor mani" Iexclaimed. "But why,
then, does he not sit still? Why does he
accompany you everywhere?"
"It's no use, ma'am, your speaking to
my old woman" said the husband; ''she
can't hear you she's quite deaf.''
| Twas astonished. Here was compen-
sation! Could pair be better matched'
Man and wife were indeed one flesh; for
he saw with her eyes and she heard with
his ears! It was beautiful to me after
ward to watch the old man and woman
in their inseperableness. Their sympa-
thy with each other was as swift as cleo
tricity, and made their deprivations as
naught.

and, N. Y, woman above one hundred
years old has just died. She had spells
of Keeling young, and would tell over to
herself the events in her life of fifty and
seventy years Of ago, but could tell
little of the last ten years. She came to

the roof of the leading Orange family Of
Ireland at that dark and troubled period,
she nevertheless welded an outlaw with
a price upon his head. He was taken
prisoner at the memorable battle cf
Oulcrt Hill, and sentenced to be h9pge1,
His young wife heard of his eaptrve snd
sentence, and invoked the all-powerful
Marquis of Beresford to interpose his
clemecy in saving the life of her patrsotic
husband.
The Marquis, for once in his life, was
inclined to be merciful to rebels and
gave reluctant premise that he would
interest himself in saving from the gal
lows the hero Of Oulert Hill. And. 80
the story goes, that as Myles Ryan was
about being led from his dungeon to the
scaffold, a free pardon was granted him,
without his knowledge of the influence
that saved his life. The pardon was read

LORY, THE ALSATIAN.

Translated from the French
Lory, the blacksmith Of Sante- Marie
aux-Mines, was not in good humor that
night. He was vexed and ill-tempered.
Usually when the forge fires were out,
and tAe sun had set, he sat on the bench
in front Of his door and enjoyed the pleas
ant fatigue caused by honest work and
the heat OF the day Before dism1ssing
his apprentices he would drink with them
long draughts of cool beer, while the
factory hands passed, going from their
work. That night the old man remained
at his forge till it was time to take his
seat at the table, and while he fingered
Looking at him, his wife thought:
''What has happened to him? Perhaps he
has bad news from the regiment, and dare
not tell me2 Perhaps Christian is ILL"
She dared not ask v hat the trouble was
but busted herself in keeping quiet the
three little blonde heads that chartered
around the table, while munching their
radishes and cream.
At last the blacksmith put away his
plate in anger:
ssAh! the wretches All, the scoun-
drelsln
"What now, Lory, with whom are you
angry?'
"With five or six scoundrels," he
burst out, I" who have been going about
town since morning, in French uniforms,
and walking arm in arm with the Baya-
rains. Some more of those who have
what DO they call it, chosen Prussia
for their country and to think that every
day we see those false Alsatians return
ing! What drink did they brew them? e.
6 But think, Lory, poor children; it is
not quite their fault. They are sent to
such distance AL geria, in Africa. They
are homesick out yonder, and what a
strong temptation it is to return to their
native land and be soldiers no longer
Lory struck the table with his clenched
fist.
"Hush, mother! You women don't
understand. Forever living with children,
and forthem alone, you make every thing
small enough to fit your babies. Now |
tell. you these men are scoundrels
egades-the yilest of towards; and if oul
Christian were capable of such infamy
as sure as my name is George Lory. and
that served seven years in the Chasseurs
of France, would run my sword through
his body!"
In his excitement, half raising himself
from his seat, the blacksmith pointed to
his saber hanging on the wall above the
portrait of his son, zouave, painted in
