The Boy Preacher Era.

BUYING A JURY.
A Verdict of MansIaughter that
Cam High.

A travelling man from Houston told
a good one to Chicago reporter the
other day. He said Houston Hebrew
wa, arrested and put on trial for
murder, few years ago. He had
killed n man in row, but as the
victim was 'no-good" nobody seemed
to care much about the matter. The
Hebrew, however. was frightened to
death, especially as three-fourths oil
the jury were Irishmsn. The accused
was merchant-you know thu
Hebrews control about all the mercan-
tile trade in the southwesJ-and there
was but one OF his race on the jury.
His was a man named Cohen. / don't
care to mention the accused's name as
he is now most respected and one OF
the wealthiest citizens OF ST. John,
Arr. Although on trial for murder the
prisoner was admitted to bail and
managed to get an interview with
Cohen, in which he said to him: "De

An Unalantad Infant.

An Unelected Infant sighed out It's littlo

And wandered through the darkness along
the shores of DEATH
Until the gates Of Heaven, agleam with
pearl it spied,
And ran TO them and clung there aud would
not be denied,
Though still from earth rose mutterings-
"You can not enter in;
Depart into Gehenna, you child of wrath
and SIM"
At last the gates were opened; a man with
features mild
STOPPED down and kissed the weeping and
Unelected Child.
Immortal light thrilled softly down ave-
nues of bliss,
AS on the infants forehead the spirit
placed a kiss.

brow"
