A Trial For Murder that Ended with
w the Marriage Service, ...

A greater transition from stress of men
tai anxiety and possible woe to buoyant
life and happiness can hardly be imagin-
ed than was recently presented in Cali
fornia courtroom. 1t was case of muir
der, but, instead of having to pronounce
the death sentence, the Judge performed
the much more agreeable duty Of reading
the marriage service and joining the
prisoner =. in wedlock. It happened in
this wise: Joachim Hanks, captain of
fine schooner lying at anchor in the San
Joaquin River, had a nights drinking
bout in the neighboring town of Antioch
The next morning, George Mitchell,
whisky drinking ne'er do-well, was found
tumbled off the wharf in the mud, .deads
Suspicion fastened. upon Hanks as his
murderer, and he was captured by officer.
after an exciting boat race towards the
schooner, which the captain sought for
refuge. Close by the captains side
through the trial sat Mary Raymond q.
haEdsonle,s elegantly dressed young wo-
man, who watched with painful anxiety
every development. 1t soon became ap-
Mary Raymont had a more then com
ulOu SGdkG III l1C ldtt VI Cdplldu IlaIkS.
who, BY the way, now that he was sober
and we'll dressed, was as fine and gallant
a fellow to look upon as you often see.
The general atmosphere of sympathy
finally became so intense that the Judge,
in making his charge, considered it his
duty to caution the Jury against allowing
it to influence, their verdict. The ex-
hibition of devotion and affection, he az :.
lowed, ,was very touching and beautiful,
but neither he nor they, he remarked
with cruel Judicial logic ( had any more
tossdo with the woes Of these distressed
lovers than they had with the loves of
Abelard and Heloise. Luckily, the
evidence was not conclusive, and the
jury, only too glad not to ruthlessly sever
"two hearts that beat as one,t''Ss speedily
returned a1verdict of " not guilty." and
then. SO quickly as to take the breath
away from the woman spectators of the
trial, the blissful couple stood up in the
1 presence of the Judge and were made
man and wife. e rIlf,f,S

The Northern Lights.
A MORSE SUPERSTITION.

Nay, MOTHER nay; the pictured coal is glowing
Dully and redly on the hearthstone there;
onwas no flame of careless idlers' throwing,
0rrocket flashing through the startled all; /;
Twas but The cleaning of the Northern
All, there again they Redeemed Huntcliff
heights. #
$50, let me raise you softly on the pillow;
See, how the crimson lustre flares and dies,
Turning to! red the long heave of the billow,
And the great arch of all the starless skies;
The fishers say such beauty bodies them sor
row,
Telling Of storm, and wind to blow tomorrow"
And net and gear lie ready for the morning,
Nopresage in that wavering glory shines,
No doom in the rich hues the clouds adorning
They do but say the lingering hours are past,
The gates, the golden gates, unclose at last
'Won, the long hill so steep and drear to
climb, 5n
The tears are shed, and garnered up by time,
The heart beats, freed from all its lonely yearn-
ing; a-
The bar swings back, and flooding seas and
skies,
Burst out the deAthless lights of Paradise
"see, see, by the great valves Of pearl they
stand
Friends, children, husband; see glad hands
outreaching!
For me, for me, the undiscovered land,
Its promise in that roseate signal teaching;
Aye, kiss me, child; the lips will soon be dumb
That yet in earthly words can say, 4 Gomez"
Again the banner of the Nothern Lights
Waved broad and bright across the face of
Heaven;
And in the cottage on the rugged heights,
ne ornSan oy bT
And the calm smiling of the happy dead.
