"That feeling" said he, that will take

condemnation. Men and women need
properly training even for the physical
duties Of life. Ii it is necessary to

much more necessary to train child

so general that some women know No

should be ruled by love and charity.
1t is not out of place for a man to talk
child talk to a child. The power Of
5elt.control is an essential qualification
to a good parent. Parents should
never evince anger toward child.
Parental wrath begets filial alienation.
A man who in anger strikes little
child deserves to be hanged by his ears
until he begs for mercy. 1t is mis-
take to trust entirely to the teacher tue
intellectual training of the child. What
is commonly called mischief is q very
good quality. To avoid mischief put
things they should not have out OF
their reach, and things they should have
in their reach to direc. and encourage
their ingenuity. 1t is from >>lr mothers
that We get our vocabulary. A refined
and cultured mother in the household
is worth more than all the grammars in
creation. The child who learns good

and found a man at her bed side, and
like true virtuous lady she screamed,
when az she said the nea in whisper
Fsaid "hush, you'll, wake the others,
but Mr.. Booth rediculed the idea that
from that subdued "hush," composed
the conversation Of Starkey at Rigney's
store she could recognize in Starkey
the man who was at her bed side. Rig
rey's evidence was reviewed as per
haps the most important after all of
any that had been adduced.
Mr.. Booth passed the point with ear,
restness that it was remarkable that
nothing but u small neck-bow out of
all that was stolen had been recovered.
He did not believe that this neck bow
ever belonged to Mr.. Rignsy. He then
reviewed the evidence Of Timothy Till
man who said that Starkey came home
at u o'clock on the night of the robbery
and also that of Sergeant Whelan who
Tillman told he came home at two
o'clock in the morning.
This Mr.. Booth contended covered
the hour when the robbery was com
mitted, and the evidence Of Tillnan he
says stood uncontradicted.
After ain able defence of an hour and
twenty minutes Mr.. Booth closed his
address, aud Attorney General Gray
commenced at twenty minutes Of six
O'Clock to sum up for the State. Mr..
Gray said he agreed with the learned
counsel that tile laws should be ad-
ministered fairly to rich and poor,
white and black, but it will not do to
frown down the sworn testimony of this
girl Maggie Haggerty by saying that
she could not recognize it. for she said
that it was the voice of that man in the
dock, for she had heard it often in the
two weeks previous to the robbery; and
then the finding Of tho neck-tie in the
house iu which the prisoner lived, Is
confirming evidence.
Mrs. Rigrey tells you upon her oath
that without having suspected this man
of tho crime, she knew the drawers that
be had on were her husbands as soon
as she saw them. He then renewed
the testimony of all the witnesses, and
left the case with the jury.
