With this he begins to turn the metal

voice, the voice of Teresa, sister of Bella

love you so ardently avow, and will marry
you when mamma gives her consent. Until
then no lips shall touch the lips made sacred
by your kiss, no hand shall clasp the hand
that wears your lovely diamond ring. But

remedy; it is better to bear this system
than to inaugurate an evil that We know
nothing of. The change proposed by
Citizen" is very good one, and would
probably meet the appreciation OF
majority of the people. Though am
not an advocate OF ihe present system,
vet we should not be too hasty in the
eradication of this system until we are
sure that We have better substitute.
The second premature objection as di-
yulged by Citizen" is found in his
own words: ''The second cause Is III
the fact that such large number OF the
members of the Convention were legal
gentlemen, looking forward to seats on
the bench, that in their eagerness to fur
ther individual promotion, they
overlooked the general good, and con-
sented to all sorts of ridiculous inconsis-
tencies" II my recollection serves me
well, there was great desire Tor
change at that time, and, according to
the above, these legal gentlemen only
prepared the way for 'furtherindividu-
al promotion" and as the time is near
at hand when the judicial gentlemen
or others must again be selected, be-
ware that the same nice little game he
not again played by these gentleman OF
the Star Chamber. And now that
'fogyism" has been laid on the table
as IA relic Of the past, We hope that the
reform Legislature will expunge the OBJ
noxisous section Of our code and reme-
dy the judicial evil.
THE MYSTERIOUS MIDNIGHT PEDESTRIAN.
For the past three weeks the xuietude
of this neighborhood has been inter
rupted by some unknown person, who
has repeatedly attempted to burst open
the door of Thomas Wallace's house,
and either rob or assassinate him. THE
intention of the villain is unknown.
He first made himself known by trying
to burst the door off the hinges, and
that, too, by prostrating himself,
no doubt anticipating the fact
that Wallace would shoot. After a
vain attempt to ascertain the intention
OF this visitor, ne empted his gun, but
unfortunately he held too high and over
shot him. The villain continues to
keep up his night visitations, and Wal
lace has rel eatedly shot at him but with
no avail. However, steps are being
taken to bring the supposed burglar to-
Justice, and ii it is kept up justice Will
have it's effect. I. C.
