tween papa and Howard Burton, but 3 did fidt sayariythiiig about it to any one, they were all so sure Howard was guilty^ -~

I told her ; to treat Thomas as usual, and not to speak of our conversation to anyone. After receiving a letter she wished to send to Burton I took my departure for C. I took the first real night's rest that night I had since the death of Mr. Richards. I had previously sworn out a warrant for the arrest of Thomas,; to be served as soon as the jury should pronounce my client not guilty. The District Attorney opened for the people in an elaborate and very able speech^ giving the details of the case, and then proceeded to examine the wit nesses. .: ■

Thomas, the servant, -was the first called. He swore to the quarrel be tween Mr. Eichards and Burton, and that he heard Burton threaten Mr. Richards' life. Notwithstanding I closely cross-examined him, I failed to make him contradict himself, and when he retired nearly everyone in the Court room was doubtless certain that Howard Burton was guilty. The next witness was the hotel clerk, who testified that Burton came into the hotel while he was attending to the guests from the train that arrived in C. at about half past six* Then followed the examina tion^of the bank cashier, who swore that the package of nine thousand dol lars found on Burton at the time of his arrest, was deposited in his bank, on the afternoon of the murder. After calling several other witnesses, whose testi mony was of minor import, the prose cution rested. I then followed, and, after a brief opening address, called the German painter, who swore , f to seeing Mr. Richards send Burtyn on the errand, also to seeing Mr. Richards in the cigar' store after six o'clock on the evening of the murder. When I had finished with him he was subjected to a severe cross-examination, in which he acquitted himself very creditably. Then I called the conductor, who swore to seeing Burton on the train the night of the murder; he also swore that the train left on time, 6 o'clock, The cigar-store man- was next examined, who swore to talking with Mr. Richards at 6:15 p^m., also to seeing him leave the bank with Thomas. My witnesses were all cross-examined thoroughly, but did not contradict themselves in any particular. I then closed my case, and after a few remarks from the prosecu tion, the Judge charged the jury, who retired, and in fifteen minutes returned with a ,verdict of "Not guilty." My client and I s were overpowered with congratulations, and never since in my professional life have I felt as proud and triumphant as I did them v.As soon as quiet was restored, the Sheriff approached Thomas, the servant, and said,, in a loud voice, "Thomas Healy, I arrest you for the murder of Mr. Richards." The excitement in the Court caused by this un looked for and sudden proceeding was most intense. The prisoner was immediately taken to jail, followed by a crowd that _were loud in their expressions of denunciation —the same crowd that a little while before had marked Burton as the mur derecv ;.■ &.<$ ;'■ '■ ■■/'■ .:.; 'V ~

Well, to finish'-this story, I have little to add. I was retained by the bank; officers to prosecute Thomas Healy, and he was convicted of the dime. He protested his innocence to the last, but the night before he was executed he made a full confession, stating that he had determined to rob the bank" .some evening when Mr. "Richards was alone. It was Mr. Richards' custom, he explained, to go to the bank iin the evening, and when he and young Burton quarrelled he (Thomas) .saw his opportunity. His determination was strengthened by hearing Mr. Richards remark on the day of the murder, as he sat at dinner, that, there was an unusually large amount of cash on hand. The note in the case was one that Miss Clara had ■ given him to take to her father some days before, bvt Mr. Richards coming home' before Thomas found him, _it had not been delivered as intended. By the aid of thisnetehehad got Mr. Richards in the bank, and while he was reading it-he struck him with a stove poker, and then cut his throat. He got no money asj the reward of his crime, as the vaults had been locked. s 7, ,1 V, T a The night Thomas made his confes sion, he committed suicide; thus cheating the'gallows tree of its just due. _ -"■ Howard Burton was made cashier oi i^ebank, and married Claraß^haxds within a y^ar, arid they are both still living. ■ '/''■;' ■ "■' '.'■:■_ ;,.

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.

The old year!s out, and the wine's poured

out. To pledge to the friends all true ; From the old year we part, and with hope ful heart, Libation we pour to the new. In good old wine, round each friendly shrine

We scatter the rosy dew ; ' . May flowers spring up round the social cup, To bloom through, the year that is new.

Like children at play through some sunny day. We sport with our years like toys ; We part with the old, like a tale that is told, And welcome the coming joys._ But tho' the old year we are parting here, We part not with old friends too, For the'friends we have known, through the time that's flown, Are deaier than friends that are new.

The rich gold hair of the young and fair The eye of the lover, may prize, But the silver shed on an old friend's head Is dearer in friendship's eyes. ■. Thus standing between the gray and the green, . / Whichever way turns our view, May smiles adorn the eve and morn Of friends both the old and the new.

THE KING'S PICTURE.

[There is in every human being, however ignoble, som^ointof perfection; some one place where (as we may fancy) the veil is thin which hides the divinity behind it:— Confucian Classics.'] The King from the council chamber Came weary and sore of heart; He called for "Hiff the painter, And spake to him apart: " I am sick of faces ignoble, Hypocrites, cowards, and knaves ! I shall shrink to their shrunken measure, Chief slave in a realm of slaves ! " Paint me a true man's picture, Gracious and wise and good ; Dowered with the strength of heroes And the beauty of womanhood. It shall hang in my inmost chamber, That thither, when 1 retire, It may fill my soul with ita grandeur, . And warm it with sacred fire." So the artist painted the picture, And it hung in the palace hall: Never a thing bo goodly Had garnished the stately wall. The King, with head uncovered, Gazed on it with rapturous delight, Till it suddenly wore strange meaning And baffled his questioning sight. For the form was his supplest courtier's Perfect in every limb, But the bearing was that of the henchman Who filled the flagons for him; The brow was a priest's who pondered His parchments early and late; The eye was a wondering minstrel's Who sang at the palace gate. The lips, half sad. and half mirthful, With a fitting tremulous grace, ~ Were the very lips of a woman He had kissed in the market-place ; But the smile which her curves transfigured As a rose with a shimmer of dew Was the smile of the wife who loved him, Queen Ethelyn, good and true. " Then, Learn, O King," said the artist, " This truth that the picture tells — How, in every form of the human, Some hint of the Highest dwells ; How scanning each living temple For the place where the veil is thin, We may gather, by beantif ul glimpses, The form of the God within."

MUD PIES.

Under the apple trees, spreading and thick, Happy with only a pan and a stick, On the soft grass in the shadow that lies, Our little Fanny is making mud pies. On her brown apron and bright, drooping

head, Showers of pink and white blossoms are shed; Tied to a branch that seems meant just for. that, Dances and flutters her little straw hat. Dash, fn|l'of joy in the bright Summer day Zealously chases the robins away, Barks at the squirrels, or snaps at the flies, All the while Fanny is making mud pies. Sunshine and soft Summer breezes astir, While she is busy, are busy with her ; Cheeks rosy glowing, and bright sparkling

. eyes \ ''•< ' Bring they to Faany, while making mud pies. ;, v ; ■'■..■■

Gravely she stirs, with a serious look, "Making believe" she's a true pastrycook }. Sundry brown splashes on forehead andeyea, Show that our Fanny is making mud pies. Bnt'all the soil of her innocent play, Soap and clean water will soon wash away ; Many a: pleasure in daintier guise Leaves darker traces than Fanny's mud pies.

T;oung Lady :." Have you Been Bridget about? I can't find her anywhere j£ Pat: " Share an bedad didn't I see her jißt now asleep in the kitchen, Watching the bread baking. Coarse Protestant (to Ritualist clergy-, man) :" How are yon off for cat's meat?' Beverend Ritualist: "What do you mean by cat's meat?" Coarse Protestant: "Lights." The passion for foreign travelling is ex tending. It is no longer confined to man. It seems to have seized upon other portions of the animal creation—one, especially, which, might have been thought little likely to be subject to its influence. A book is announced with the title "Insects Abroad." Let us hope that many of them have gone abroad, never to return. ! Mabel: "O, Aunt! do look at these two frightful insects running about together 1" Aunt: "My dear child, they are only ear wigs !" Mabel: " What disgusting creatures. I wonder how they can like one another. i Sir Hercules Robinson has annexed Fiji. A labour worthy the Hercules. ■
