sational. There were fifty or sixty wit
nesses, and the affair occupied three
weeks. Mrs. Haig was put on the wit
ness stand, but her testimony told pow
erfully against the prisoner. She testi-
fed as to Arnold VanmeIre's meek dis
position and Claib Jackson's high tenn
per; related in detail the events of the
latter's visit to her on the morning of
the fatal shooting, when she said be had
declared his intention of killing young
Vanmetre on sight! She was cross-ex-
amited, but to no purpose. Ten minutes
after she stepped from the witness box
the jury, without leaving their seats,
returned a verdict of guilty, assessing
the punishment at fifteen years in the
State Prison.
When the verdict was announced
Jackson was entirely overcome. and
wept like child. Asked if he had any
thing to say against the justice of the
sentence, he responded that while he
would give the world to restore his vic
tim to life, he had nothing to regret.
AS he was led away he passed Mrs.
Haig (who neither by sign nor look re-
cognized him), and said, passionately;
"This is your work. l have wrecked
my life for your sake, and this is my re-
ward" The beautiful and heartless wo'
man pulled her veil more closely over
her face and turned away without a
word.
Jackson's friends carried the case up
to the highest court, but without success.
However, he did not go to the Peniten,
tiary; for, with the aid Of his brothers,
he broke Jail and fled to Texas, where
he met his death in saloon brawl in
Austin. Mrs. Haig, soon after the trial,
removed to Mobile, Ala, and with her
disappearance the curtain fell upon the
last scene Of a somewhat tragic life
drama. 4H

The Second C0mmaM n dment.

The second commandment is no longer
ours in the letter, for the sculptures and
paintings which we see at every turn are
what the second commandment in its
letter forbade, and what the Jews, there
fore, never made, Every statue, every
picture, not only in every church, but
in every street or room, il a breach Of
the letter of the second commandment.
No Jew would have ventured under
the Mosaic dispensation to have them.
When Solomon made the golden lions
and oxen in the Temple, it was regarded
by his countrymen as unlawful. The
Mohammedan world still observes the
second commandment literally. The
Oh ristian world has certainly set it aside.
But in spirit it is still most important
It teaches us that we must not make God
after our likeness or after any likeness
short of the most absolute moral perfec-
ton. Any fancies, any doctrines, any
practices which lead US to think thai
God is capricious or unjust or untruth
full. or that He cares for any outward
thing compared with holiness, mercy ant
goodness-that is the breach OF the sec
ond commandment in spirit. Every at
tempt to purify and exalt our ideas o
God is the keeping Of the second com
mandment in spirit, even although W
live amid pictures and statues and sculE
lures of things in Heaven and things il
earth and things under the earth. Fo
the spirit is greater than the letter--th
letter killeth and the spirit giveth life.

gone. Miss Linda sunk upon the seat
from which she had arisen; the tears
were trickling Own her cheeks, and her
bosom rose and fell convulsively. Over
her dress, over the floor, fell shadow,
creeping slowly along up the white,
washed wall of the school-house, and
while l watched it the tall man with
the black beard stood in the threshold
stood there with both arms stretched
toward her until she turned, and looking
on him, cried, "William! oh, my Viii
liam!" and fell upon his bosom.
At first | had imagined that the black
bearded gentleman was about to devour
Miss Linda, or carry her away to his en-
chanted castle; but when she called him
William the truth dawned upon my
mind, and / listened quietly, when,
some moments afterwards, he knelt be-
side her and spoke thus:
~ have been near you many weeks,
darling-I have watched YOU to and
from the school; and, though l never
dreamed you could still love me, have
loved you every moment since we parted.
When l left you I hoped to return to
you soon, happy and prosperous; but,
bafied and disappointed, could not
bear to bring my grief and poverty for
you to share, and l baffled with the
world, weary and broken-hearted, until
| began to doubt all truth an d goodness,
and believed no woman could welcome
back toil-worn, beggared man, as she
would one who was.glad and prosperous.
saw her arm steal about his neck.
and her lips touch his cheek, and he
went on again:
Better days dawned upon me, and ]
came back again, loving you still, to
WOO and win you; if you could forgive
my long and shameful silence. The first
news l heard, dearest: was that you were
betrothed TO another; and, although it al
most broke my heart, | vowed that il
this was true, I would not mar your new
found happiness by brinaing back the
memory Of the past. Had you loved
him, Linda, you never should have
known that Will Bruce dwe!t among liv
ing men, although he would have
prayed for your happiness while he hae
a heart to pray with, and blessed yor
until his lips were dumb forever"
There WIS another pause, and couIe
hear her sob.
"To-day, Linda, followed my rival
as l thought him, to this door. hear(
the words he spoke, and also heare
your answer. I learnt, my angel, tha
you had forgiven me; that you were still
true to the wanderer whose only meri
was that he loved you fondly, and nj
words can tell you the ecstasy of tina
moment, the balm that that knowledge
poured upon my wounded heart. Viii

me have right to the great treasure o
your woman's hearth
She did not speak, but her head sunl
lower still, and her white arms twine'
themselves tenderly about the bronzec
neck of the man with the black beard.
A week later the village paper re
ported the marriage of Miss Linda Har
rington and Mr.. William Bruce, and gu
school was without mistress.

ToOmbs Would Give but Not Sell
Seed.
ATLANTA (Ga.) Republican,

We are informed that Gen. Toombs
has twelve acres OF wheat of the ''Blll
Dallas" variety on his farm near Wash
ington, Wilkes County, which his neigh
bors estimate will yield thirty bushels
per acre. 1t is entirely free from rust,
while the crop generally is seriously In
iured. Gen. Toombs has been sowing
this variety for about thirty years, and
has never had rust. Commissioner Hen.
derson, hearing OF these facts, approached
Gen. Toombs with proposition to pur
chase fifty bushels for distribution
among the farmers Of the State. The
General Indignantly refused to sell fol
such purpose, but said, "If that is what
you want with it, will give you on'
hundred bushels" This is entirely con
sistent with the usual liberality and pub
lie spirit Of this distinguished Georgian

THE DAILY STAR
THE LITTLE FACES.

The dearest recolleciions
OF all my life's affections
Come glowing on tine gray that follows day'
iris but a breadth Of gloom,
dim, deep study-room
Whose windows at the end shine far away.
tTis then a row OF faces
Sweet, childish faults or graces
That glisten thro the prosy, sluggish gloom;
Lips sweet as mlgnonet
Speak greeting to me yet,
And light the darkness with their rosy bloom.
Thus all the old affections
STIR walked by recollectfons
To float on nerv'd pinions far away:
They seek thru out the night
Some place to end their Tight.
And still whisper with the dawning day:
20 precious little faces,
drink your tender graces
With every feversh quvcr OF mine eyes!
o rosy lips breathe on,
Tho be passed and gone.
listen in my grave Of tears and sighs!'

A TRAVELLER in Norway, last summer.
came to village early one morning,
and was struck by the air Of gloom which
pervaded the street. Unable TO speak
q word Of the language, he could not
ask the cause Of this. and concluded
that some sickness or financial trouble
had fallen upon the community. As
the day wore towards noon, however.
the houses we're closed, shop-windows
were covered, all trade and business
ceased. II was death, thenP Pres
emily he saw the people gathering for
the funeral. There were the village Of
ficials. the noblemen from the neighbor-
ing chateau. and apparently every
man, woman and child in the village.
II must be some dignitary Of the church
who was dead, or some county official.
As he stood watching the crowds pass
ing down the little rocky street, he
caught sight Of the face OF German
known to him. He beckoned to him.

nate, apparent;yr he said.
"Ah. no. II il only young maiden
who il dead. No. She was not beau
tiful nor rich. But oh. such pleasant
girl. monsieur! All the world seems
darker now that she Is deadr'
II Is q singular fact that, when we
reach middle life and look back, IL Is
not the beautiful, nor the brilliant, nor
the famous people whom we have
known, that we remember with the
kccnest regret; but some simple. sim
cere, pleasant soul, whom we treat

was with us.
Go into family, or social circle, or
even into ballroom. and the woman

rule, is not the belle, nor the wit. nor

| fine tact and warm heart never allow
her to say wrong word in wrong
place.
The "pleasant women are the at-
traction that everywhere holds society
and homes together. Any woman,
however poor or ugly, may be one q
them; but she must first be candid,
