WHERE THE suNsEAMs HIDE.

Long ago. a little sunbeam.
On a very dismal day.
Disseminated with the weather.
From his cloud home stole away;
Then his roguish cousin. Southwind.
Spread the story round about,
And to seek the maynard truant
Every sunbeam started out.
BY and by they saw him shining
Through a merry lassie's face:
In her heart he nestled snugly-
1t was such a coy place
That the sunbeams were delighted,
And together quickly cried:
LET us all find lads and lassies,
In whose hearts we. too, may hide"
Thon upon their quest they started
Soon each found the home he sought;
When he entered. quickly vanished
Every sad and cloudy thought.
Now, whenever II is stormy,
In good children's hearts they stay.
And the people all around them
Quite forget the dismal day.

HHY AGEys STRUCK ABEEL.
Mise Guenther on the witness stand Tells
How Abcel Insuited Her.

Miss Emma l.. Guenther was tho most i'm
portant and interesting witness in the trial of
Frederick @. Agens. Jr., at Newark yesterday
for causing the death OF Caldwell Ii. Abeel.
Miss Guenther accompanied her friend, Mrs.
Charles Hurd, and ARens to the restaurant on
the night when Agens struck the blow which is
said to have caused Abeel's death. Mrs. Hurd
preceded Miss Guenther on The witness stand
and corroborated other witnesses for the de-
fence in telling what happened up to the time
of the trouble, but she did not see the blow
struck. having tainted when she realized that
a row was imminent.
Miss Guenther told the story Of what led up
to the row, and said that after twice being re-
buffed when he asked Mr.. Agens's party to
drink. Abeel came over to their table. and,
an 't olive. Asens begged him to go away. ~ Tie
neither moved. Miss Guenther said that she
was acquainted with Mr.. Perry and had met
MI. A6 pee once before; ~, LAWYER haiisch then
sentiment, and she said:
Mr.. Abeel offered a most dreadful insult to
me" Then she began to weep. Kalisch asked
Miss Guenther sobbingly replied "Actss"
Miss Guenther, after some hesitation. said that
Abeel laid his hand upon her In an indecent
manner, and that Agens. on seeing him. asked
raised his arm as II to strike, and ARens, with
out rising, struck. him on tho mouth. Perry
clutched Agens, who overthrow him in HIS
chair, breaking a mirror. Abeel and Perry
then went back to their table, and Agens, the
witness, and Mrs, Hurd left the place,
that she met Abeel at the old Meeker Tavern In
1rvington some weeks before and was intro
duced to him by Perry. She was out riding
with Agens at the time, but he was not in the
room at the time OF the introduction.
The session closed with Agens on.the stand.
He told the story just as others had, admitting
the blow, and saying that the insult TO Miss
Guenther provoked it. On cross.examination
he said that he struck 4 beel a light blow on the
mouth without rising from his chair.
The taking OF testimony will probably be con-
cluded to-day and the case given to the jury.
