Beautiful Srntiments Elo- . qucntly Expressed. The lion. Edward A Hannegan, a former U. S. Senator from Indiana, but now of St. Louis, lately doionded a young mulatto boy of the name of Smith, upon the charge of murdering his wile. The defense, was insanity, caused by hia wife,s infidelity "with another. The defense va3 overruled and the prisoner convicted. Mr. Hannegan made however a very able speech, which is published in the St. Louis papers, in behalf of his unfortunate client. On the infam' of the crime of seduction, Mr. Hannegan thus speaks: There is no offense upon the face of the

earth which tauses auch deep, overwhelming, heart bruising grief and sorrow as does this one single crime of Seduction, whether it be of a man's wiij or daughter. To penetrate a family with the foulest designs in the heart, is an offense which the laws have never yet devised an appropriate punishment for, for it r.ever can; and it is a strange fact that where the sorrow and agony which is caused by an act of that kind, is most pressing, most potent, where the wreck and ruin that follows is most irretrievable, that there the world looks on it most carelessly. The fiend often, too often turns from the sad page of grief and bitterness with scorn, where the occurrence is in the poor man's family, tho poor, humble and obscure, and yet you well know, every man within the sound of my voice, that upon them i; falls with heaviness. Tho high and wealth v man tho weal thy are always called the high I cannot understand why? I know it is very far from being the case. The wealthy man, 1 am sorry to say it is not always the high man.. My definition of a high man is the high in heart and elevated in sentiment, the noble in feeling, the gentle in action, and I look for him and recognize him as much in the ditch, where, with a shirt upon Ins back, he die, a3 though he lived in a a prince's palace. But speaking after the fashion of ilie world, the high and wealthy from injustice like this can turn at once and console themselves with enjoyment and pleasure. Tho rich man can makafjr himself a home anywhere, and he can command unbounded visi.ors and attendants. At his new home he can call to hu sumptuous board, troops of friends tho rich always have friends; the poor man rarely has any; and these friends come to him with their faces all glad with smiles, or wreatLed in sadtieas, just a3 the occasion stirs, bo it what it may of grief or of joy the voices and graces cf the throng are always ready. If grief press at the rich man's heart, the silken voice of the parasite distills into his ear the woll prepared music to sooth him. If, for a wrong like this for which Smith struck, a rich man should strike with the avenging arm at the betrayer of his honor and his peace, the public voice crie3outat once tho deed was righteous, tho death was merited, he has but acted in obedienca to the dictates of his own nature, sustaining his own sacred lights. A trial for him is but a form. He Ämes before j the tribunal with a proud and lofty bearing, which proclaims Lis feeling of security, and he at length go:s forth with the plau- j dits of the world ringing in his ears, he j goes iorin to piunge into inai ease or pleasure which lies strewn in bachanal pro fusion before him Ills wile, she never had, perhaps u idiviued possession of his atleciious; me gay worm always, pernaps, dividad it with her. He has one attraction less now, and it is one as soon supplied by one with fresher lips and brighter e;cs. isot so wun tne poor mau. ms home is the center of all his enjoyment it i3 his earthly paradise. The vife who resides there is queen of all his thoughts and alfections. He comes home at even-tide, and tells over tho earnings of the day or week, upon which they are to rely hereafter for their support, and they count over tho prospect of laying by a little day by day or week by week to provide for days of sorrow. He sits there and looks around the humble dwelling, and feds no sorrow, no care, no wish to wander out in pursuit of licentious pleasures. He is at ease in his body and mind. She is by him: he silently thanks his God for such sweet and precious gifts as those that arearound him, and, above all, he thanks Him for the dear, dear wife that met him when he came back, with the bright, smiling eye, and the warm welcoming kis3. How many thousand such homes as this I have described are spread around us. Do not suppose that I am going to limit this to the homes of the 'hewers of wood and drawers of water." No! It is as much a picture ol the home of the professiocal man. the poor lawyer, the pennilc8 minister of lioa, as it is oi tne poor unser as u was of this poor mulatto, William Smith. Would you take this home away from him who has it? Would you take It away? Would you fill hi3 very dish with loathsome putrifaction? Would you make his home a den of hissing serpents, to coil upon his hearthstone, or nest!e in his bed? Would you plunge your knifa into the heart of her he loves when he wa3 yet away, and place her dissevered head n gory, on Iiis plate to meet him when he next came back would you?. You had better, ten thousand times better do this, than do as the villain doe3 who steals into another's house, and makes his home a brothel, and hi wife a prostitute, to greet him when hel

comes back with lewd display and blazon harlotry. Smith saw it felt. No more a home, no warm welcome airain no fand endearments, no cheerful evening fireside no form to love and no heart to beat responsive to his own. Pressed as with a üery bolt, the crushed spirit of man rosa at once to fury and madness, and his heart and brain on fire, he bathes his hands in the blood of all that came within his reach, aud first of all in that of her who had mur

dered his peaea and hi3 reason. Niagara Falls. A contributor has furnished us with the following sketch of Niagara Fulls: Imagine yourself in the region of the great f Us. Survey them from above, from below, and from either side- In the midst of that magnificent panorama stands Goat Island, anchored to earth's center, and from age to age presents its calm and patient brow to the down-coming floods; and, with apparent ease, sends their 6trong, furious, lushing waters these toward the American, and those toward the Canadian shores. Upon its edge, just where the pai ted waters, sweeping inward, msh toward the trembling precipice's brink, there stands a Tower. From that lone, trembling tower, look southward; thence come the waters in their might, as if a sea, in some far off region, beyond ken, (whose fountains who shall tell?) had suddenly burst its barrier, and from its fulnesss and exhausdess stoics, noured down those ceaseless Hoods. Rejoicini; in freedom, on thev come; and. heaving and sumin, and rolling and turnbling, and leaping and dashing, and tossing and splashing, for miles in extent, raging and foaming, they fill the whole region with wildest commotion. Then iatherinir strength, and exulting in power; resistless, they hasten and rush to tho verge of that awful gulf. - own, down, they plunge, through mist, and foam, with deafening roar, into the abvss below. The secrets of that dread unfathomable gulf, no tongue can tell, no pen describe. Clustering beneath that whelming tide, their glories or their terrors are forever veiled from our tOo curious eves. The scene is grand beyond description. Language cannot compass it. Word pictures here were impotent. Here, an Irving, a Scott, or even a J3yrou, must needs fail. It were equally vain to attempt L set forth one's emotions; but blessed is the man, or woman eidier, who sees what I saw, hears what I heard, or feels what I have felt standing amidst the ruh, and roar, and foam, and mist, with rainbows crowned: in the majestic and awful presence of the mighty Niagara may I not say in the immediate presence nay, face to fa':e with the Omnipotent? The ground on which you tread, the rock, the earth i:self, eeems to tremble in awe of Him, as if they surely knew their sovereign Lord was near. The contemplation of the sublime and moving spectacle forever changing, yet tho same forever calls forth a correspondins depth and strength and fervor of emotions. Transported with the view, we are lost in wonder, admiration, reverence, devotion, love. From admiration of the visible, we easily pass to the worship of the Invisible the Great, the Good, the form ing, moving, controlling spiiit God. Thoughts crowd upon my brain; they jostle each other, and no one gefs fit utterance. "My Father," thought I, "worketh hitherto," and sure He worketh here. But no mare t-uly here than everywhere. "The heavens declare the glory of, God, and tho firmament showeth His handiwork." "The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof; the sea is His, and He made it; and His hands prepared the dryland." Aes ajjo, the OniniGc word went forth, and, deep down upon the ocean's bed, forthwith the grains and particles of which the rocks are made, came trooping, and in order moved, each to its appropriate place. So each layer was formed. The layers themselves are but the records of successive ages. In His own time, the fiame Omnific word, from the broad bosom of the deep, upheaves to view, His finished work; and lo! an island or a contincLt is born. He moulds and shapes the mountains; Ho scoops out the valiies; Ho opes His fountains, and from copious stores, frth gush the waters; aud from many a hill side and from many a rill, tho sparkling streamlet and the babbling brook begin their glad career. Mightiest rivers, ministers of His, go forch to do his pleasure; and, in their ceaseless flow, arc but the messengers ol His love and power. Ages on ages, since the flight of years began, when men were not, th stars looked down on those pouring floods as they do now. Generations shall come and go; ages on ages more shall pas3 away; still, on they come; and pouring- still with unabated strength. When will their pouring cease! When will those waters rest! Io! God is here, and in symbols mete proclaims His own eternity, not less than ins umnipotence. ' fcrEcrAToit. Somebody discribes the absurd appear ance of a man dancing the polka in this wit:'.

Double ESsei u(io:a.' Some time ago, Charlotte Jones, Iler.iy Fifi and Monroe ixewart were convicted at PiUsburg of 'the murderof George Wilson and. wife the uncle and aunt of Charlotte. On Frvdav last, CnailoLe and Fife

were executed. The Pittsburg Uni ja' r iv.s: On Friday afternoon, Henry Fife and Charlotte Jones, convicted of tho murder of George Wilson and his sister, were executed in the jail-yard of the county. They each had wriltcu statements prepared, copies cf which wo subjoin. Fife read Iiis statement from the scaffold, while the minister attending upon Charlotte, read her "dying declaration." The main feature in them is the re-affirmation of the innocence of Monroe Stewart. The reporters of thecily pres were not admitted, and we have no disposition t6 detail contradictory and unsatisfactory sec-ond-hand statemsnts. In Fi fo's statement, ho said: In a few short moments uf lime, I shall have answered wr my life for the teriiblc crime I have committed, and which I have alreatlv freelv onf.'s.e 1. It must not be m m supposed from wv.at has been published in the newspapers here from time to tim since my arrest, that I am indiderent or careless abyut the awful file I am to suffer, nor must it be supposed that I have suffered no compunction of consciance for the deed that has brought me to a felon's death. Oh, no. I have a! read v undergone more torture of soul than a thousand deaths; and oh! how often, how often I have wished I could restore son and Iiis sister back to George Wil Hfa. Vain thoughts! Maddened with a thirst for gold, and stimulated by diink, I gave them the fatal blow that robbed them of lifo and sent their souls without warning to ihj bar of Gud. My fervent prayer now is. and has long been, that they have been made happy by my wickedness, and their immortal souls are among the redeemed of Chi ist, and I pray Almighty God for Iiis pardon, and that I may be permitted to hope that in tho world of sp'uils, 1 may there, and then hog them to bo forgiven. Charlotte Jones' statement contains the following explanation of her motives: I have now but a few moments to live, and I wish to 'make a statement of the tru'h.

Fife left mo against my earnest wish giving me, as a reason for leaving me, that ho was too poor to support me, and that he was compelled to leave and go and hunt work. He did leave me, iind I was under some apprehensions whether he would return. During his absence, I suffered a great deal, and 1 would have done anything iu the world to have been with him. Wnen I next saw him, it was at Columbia, Washington counly, Pa. I was not willing that Iw should leave again, and I went with him he going to McKeesport and I to my uncle's.

Sometime during Thursday forenoon of the present week, an' Irish lady, McDole, who is upwards cf 60 years of age, was passing down tho hill of spring street, with a basket, on her way to isVroumbega market. A young lady was sliding on the icy side walk and struck her violently with tho sled, knock ing her dow. Her arm was broken by .the fall. She immediately got up, went down the hill, and proceeded to the house of Dr. Shell, on Harlow street, who set her arm and splintered it, so as to secure the splintered bones in their places. .

Astonishing Pref'ormancc. On the 13th of Jsnuary, at Windsor (Eng), Mr. J. S. Rtrey, from the United States of America, had the honor of exhibiting before her Majesty, the Prince Consort, and tho royal family and suite, in the riding-house, his miraculous power over the horse. Several animals were selected as subjects of his experiments. He commenced with a wild colt .eighteen months old, belonging to the Prince Consort, which was brought from tho Shaw Farm, and which had never been handled,' except by halter, and had been chosen by Colonel Hood for the occasion. After being alone with the animal for about an hour and a half, the royl party entered, and found Mr. Rtrey sit'ing on its back, without holding the rein, the horse perfectly quit. Mr.

! IIa rev then made a few remarks in regard to. bis great experience m the treatment of this noble :mimil;a drum was afterwards handed to Mr. Rarey, which lie beat with fury whilst sitting on the horse's back, witiiout tho colt exhibiting auv siirns of fear. The royl party afterwards withdrew for a few minutes, and on their return found thö animal lying down; and Mr. Rtrey knocking its hind legs together, one of which li3 put again? his face. Afterwards a restive horse, from Mr. Anderson's ßtables, in London, which Mr. Rarey had boforo handled, was placed at one end of tho riding-house alone. Mr. Rarey went to tho other end, and at his command the horse walked quietly up to him. He then made the horse lie down in the presence of the Queen, when Mr. Rarey crawled between his hind legs, and over mm in various ways. r.ir. nirey then rolled the horse on his back. The horse t was aucrwards pir.cea m various position. and in whicu it stood without holdn A third horse selected by Mi. Meyers, the riding master, as a very nervous anij mal, was then brought in , and ia a few mmuts afterwards it was made by .Jr. Rarey to do all which had been done by the other horsc3. At the conclusion of this exi.ibitation of Mr. Rarey's wonderful power over the hoise, his Roval Highness the Priiicj Co:sort expressed to Mi Rarey his g.tltliiC.lilOil illMi : .,.i . i-- n .

The appearanco of a man upon the scene of being constitutes a new era ia creation; the operations cf a now instinct coma into, play that instinct which anticipates a life I after the grave, and reposes implicit faith upon a God alike just and good, who is the I P'e'oe( 'rewa-der of all who diligently i seek Iliai.' Aud in looking along the' long line of being over rising in the scale from higher to get higher manifestations, or abroad on the lower animals, whom instmct never deceives can wc hold that man, immeasurably higher in his place, and infinitely higher n his hopes and aspirations than all that ever went before Lint should be, notwithstanding, the one grand . j error in creation the one painful worker, in the midst of the present troubles, a slalo into which he never is to enter the befooled exj ectant of a happy future which he is never to see? Assuredly no.

Hugh Jftlcr. itTl know that if women wish to escape the stigma of husband-seeking, they must ; act and look like marble or clay cold, expressionless, bloodless; for every appear-, ance of joy, sorrow, friendliness, antipathy, admiration, disgust, are alike constiued by tho world int an attempt to hook a husband. Never mind! well meaning women have their own consciences to comfort them, afier all. Do uot, therefore, be too much afraid of shoving yourself as you are, affectionate and gooa-hearted; do not too harshly repress sentiments and feelings excellent in themselves, because somo puppy may fancy that you are letting them come out to fascinate him; do not condemn yourself to live only by halves, because if you showed too much, imitation, some pragmatical thing in breeches might take it into his pate to imagine thai you designed to dedicate yourself to Iiis insanity.Jane Eyre. The Aütcmx of Life. Not manr months before the death of the Jato Judge Davis, on the occasion of a dinner party ut his house, at which Mr. Justice Story and other eminent jurists and lawyers were present, the conversation turned on tho" comparative advantages of the different periods cf life. Some thought that the seasons of youth and manhood were fullest cf enjoyment, and others gave the preference, for solid satisfaction, to the period -of age. Judge Davis did not slate his opinion until he was invited to do so; and then, in that calm and benignant manner for -which ha was remarkable, he said; "In tho warm; season of the year it is my delight to be iu the country, and every pheasant evening . while I am there, I love to wit at ' tho window and look at some beautiful trees which' grow near my house. Th murmuring of tho wind through tho branches, andtho gentle ply of the leaves, and the flickering of light upon them, when the moon is up; , fill me with an indiscribable pleasure. 'As the autumn comes on, I feel very sad to see these leaves falling one by one; but when they are all gone, I find that .they, were only screens before my eyes; for I experience a new.and higher satisfaction as I gaze through the naked branches at the glo- ' aious stars beyond." , . , , , ' "3TTbe Chicago Press estimates the
