JOHN HENTHORN'S TRIAL. - One j by one the charges were read over; He, .John Hen thorn, stood chargd with baring stolen a handsome gold watch,- four other articles of jewelry, and some . bank notes from Ebenezer Grant, commercial traveler ; and he was charged on the Becond count with having the above mentioned articles in his possession, knowing them to hare been stolen, t He was only a lad just eighteen ; he hod no friends in the great city, which seemed to him so hard-hearted at that moment, to be continuing its business iwith the ,ame eager roar as ever, while he stood on his trial. lie had no friends ? . Yes, he had a dear little friend his little sister Lucy. She was standing . by, listening to the man who , read orer these charges in a hard, dry matter of-fact style, and then asked her brother yes, though ; she could hardly, believe it, it was her own brother John, who stood there in the dock, between . two policemen asked her brotherif he was guilty or not guilty. She listened eagerly for John's reply. She saw his mouth open and make an ineflectual attempt to form the word; at length with a great gasp it Came 'Not guilty.' : :r: r .r - ; ..- y- Little Lucy breathed more freely. Her little finger was laid upon her lips ; her thin fsce was paler than ever, but her eyes were' bright and anxious no, not so much 'anxious as watchful and eager. She knew now for she ha d heard her brother speak that John was innocent ; and ' though she knew for she was nearly famished how sorely he might have been tempted by necessity, yet John's word was passed and John was innocent. ; John was innocent; but John must be proved innocent T She knew that the gentlemen ranged -in rows before the judge were all clever lawyers, who could prove that John had stolen nothing; so she slipped down from the crowd amongst which she was standing, and being so small she passed unobserved ,-to the corner of the lawyers' seats. She watched all their faces for a long time., Some of them were busily engaged in turning over great masses of paper and parchment ; others were sitting moodily with their hands pressed upon their foreheads, briefless barristers, who were meditating upon the inequalities of the world, and how it was that 'that densely stupid Frumblefrump had his hands full of cases,' and they, 'who could beat his head off at billiards or any other gentlemanly employment,' were left briefless. Amongst these unhappy and involunta rily idle barristers, was one who had for fourteen years frequented the courts and never met with that treasure a brief. He had no connection- no one to give him a start. His little fortune was slowly ebbing away. He had man aged to pick up a few pounds in a'vari cty of ways. He had sometimes com municated the first intelligence of an appalling accident, which he had been fortunate enough to witness, to some of the daily papers, and had received a few shillings for his trouble. But bit by bit his little capital the careful, hard-earned savings of a loving father, the vicar of a little country living dwindled away. He was thinking, with his head between his hands, thinking bitterly of his unprofitable life j he contrasted his own position of compulsory idleness and unavoidable gentility with the industrious and grateful toil of the day laborer. He pictured the roughhanded man returning from his work tired, but not ' exhausted the merry faces "and the hearty ' greeting the crowing children and the radiant faced wife. lie then thought of himself, Edmund Carew, returning to his lonely chambers, with pale face and dejected spirits ; and Edmund Carew was about to curse the day of his birth, when a light ' finger was laid upon his elbow, and a face paler and sadder than his own looked op 'at him. ' 'Will " you make the judge let my brother off ?' 'Who is your brother, my little woman ?'.' .. . ' - '' :i Little Lucy pointed to the dock. Now, by some means or other Edmund Carew' s ears had heard the charge against the lad in the dock, and his memory had retained the outline of the case, though his mind had been occn pied with bemoaning his own unhappy lot. He looked up at the .lad and saw a fine, manly young fellow confronting the whole court. ' In an' instant a lesson was taught - to the lawyer. Here was a youth friendless in a great city, and yet boldly keeping a good heart in the presence of a most crushing and cruel trial. ' The sight lent a fresh courage to the briefless barrister's heart. ' The judge spoke :. : a " : Havejrou any coansel?' ' 1 ' No, my lord,' said John. Then, Mr. Frumblefrump, I think,.

:J Si-:

ENDS THOU AIM'ST AT, BE THY j'Pardon . me, my lord,' said Edmund, rising, 'the prisoner was not aware, but I am instructed by his friends to undertake his defense His friends ! John looked around in amazement. His friends ! , yes the barrister had said his friends ; but he could not understand it ; for he could not see his little Lucy' standing by the barrister's side. . ; The case then commenced. The coun. sel for the7 prosecution called his wit- ' nesses.1 The claimant of the articles, the waiter, the boots, arid the bar-maid at the inn, were all called to prove that John Henthorn must have been the thief.' It appeared that John had been in the habit of frequenting the 'Blue Boar,' in the hope of meeting with some employment, as the 'Blue Boar' was a, rendezvous for' persons ' Beeking tutors, travelers, : etc. 1 : The claimant of the goods' was" described as a commercial, traveler f he had met' tlie1 prisoner at the inn, and had had some conversation with him. " He deposed to having lost his watch and other articles ; 'he gave the number of the notes, 'and identified the watch and jewelry.' ' i ! ; ' The bdots, bar-maid'and waiter were called to prove that the first witness had a watch ""when he arrived at the Blue Boar.' The '"'waiter', noticed t it, 'particular,' as the commercial, room clock had stopped, and he had 'asked the gentleman to be so good as to give him the 'hexact' time. , ' The bar-maid proved that the commercial gentleman and the prisoner had talked a long time together at the bar ; that the commercial gentleman had taken a few glasses of spirits, and had gone straight to bed, after John Hen-' thorn had left the inn. - 'Was the commercial ' gentleman intoxicated?' ' !' No sir, not that; but he was carelesslike in his manner, when he bade the prisoner good night.' ; 'When did the gentleman first mention his loss?' V, . 'When he came down the next morning-' . Police constable 113 Z was called to prove that the watch and other articles were fouud by him at the prisoner's lodgings, No. 137 Little Ze bed ee st. ' While these witnesses were being examined, an old gentleman had made his way into court. He now sat beside Edmund Carew; he wore a large pair of gold spectacles, from beneath which there beamed a large pair of benevolent looking eyes. He never looked about him, but kept his eyes fixed on the wit-, a esses, as one by one they filed into the box. . . - ( Edmund Carew cross-examined the witnesses for the prosecution. His interest was aroused; he was working for another; his own troubles were forgotten ; others beside himself were friendless; and it was anew joy to him to find' some one whom he, helpless and useless, could defend. He threw his whole soul into the case, and he cross-examined with s keenness and rigor, and the parchment-faced attorneys nodded now and then at one another. Mr. Ebenezer Grant lost his nonchal--ent manner and his tone of supercilious indifference, as the young barrister pressed home a few pointed questions. The bar-maid ceased to be coquettish, and the waiter to be positive. Finally, the barrister declared his intention of calling witnesses for the defense, and began by ca'ling ' Mr. Blenkinsopp. :. ; ' When Mr. Blenkinsopp entered the box, poor John Henthorn gave way altogether. .He leaned forward, buried: his face in his hands, and sobbed ; and Mr. Blenkinsopp's voice tremb'ed a little as he described himself as the senior partner in the firm of Blenkinsopp, Fussel & Fudge, attorneys. He identified the watch and notes and other articles,, as his own. .' He deposed to having given them into the charge of the prisoner on the afternoon of the day on which the robbery was alleged to have been committed.. ' ' Would he tell the court the circumstances under which he had intrusted these articles to the prisoner? Yes. He was summoned on the day he spoke of.to attend a large and important meeting in the city. He left his office about noon, and on his way to the place of meeting he turned'into the Blue Boar' (o get some lunch. He met the prisoner in the common room ; got, into conversation with him. r While there he discovered that he had brought his watch, and notes of value, and some few trinkets with him ; ; he had done so unintentionally, as he made it an invariable rule to leave all articles of value behind him when he attended public meetings ; he gaveJthem to the prisoner to " take charge of. u - ..--:;J .-.!; 'Did you tell the prisoner your name?'

GOD'S, THY ; C OUNTRVS AND TRUTH'S!"

AUG. 24, 18C. i "I agreed to call at the prisoner's lodgings in Zebedee street.' - 1 V.Didyou call there?' 1 r ) Yes ; and heard from the landlady that Mr. Henlhorn had been arrested. .The couriBfl for the prosecution here asked ' a question. 'Excuse me, Mr. Blenkinsopp, was it not rather a foolish thing to trust such valuable property to a total stranger V ' ' " J : : 'Not when your have studied men and their faces so long as I have. An honest: man carries his . charactes in his face.' , i : y . s- . ' The watchmaker wag called to prove that he sold the watch to Mr. Blenkinsopp, about a month previously. ! ' A clerk from Mr. Blenkinsopp's office was called to witness the- numbers of the notes, which" had been drawn from the' bank early on the day before the robbery, and the numbers entered in his private pocket-book, according to custom. ' Mr. Ebenezer Grant would gladly have ' closed the trial at this stage, but his patience was doomed to a further trial. ' '-"". An inspector of the .. detective force was called, and he gave evidence as to the character of Mr. Ebenezer Grant and. in the course ot it a slight history of the commercial traveler's career came to light. He was a traveler ;' but the firm' for which he traveled was not to be found in the Directory. Before he left the' court, he was . arrested on more than one charge, and there wu3 some talk of indicting him for perjury. . John Henthorn was . acquitted, of course, and he and little Lucy were invited, together with Edmund Carew, to dine with old Mr. Blenkinsopp. And then John Henthorn told his story. Af ter receiving the watch and notes, he remained at the 'Blue Boar' in the hope of hearing of sgme employment. While waiting, he met Mr. Ebenezer Grant, who had been most affable and most prodigal of his promise to get John employment. ; John admitted that he was very much taken with his companion,. and that he had confided too much in him ; he showed him the watch and the notes; and Mr. Ebenezer Grant had taken a great deal of interest in the story, and had examined the notes and the watch, and pronounced on the quality of both. He had endeavored to per suade John to give them up to him to keep; he had declared he knew the old gentleman quite well ; and when he found that this task was unsuccessful, he made hints that John did not understand then, but the meaning of which he now understood fully, namely,' that they should go off with the money and divide the spoils. '. John then tcld more of his own history. ?How his mother had died , when he was young, and his father only lately, leaving his sis-tor and himself totally unprovided for ; how they had sold the little furniture in the cottage in which they had lived, and had come up to town to seek their fortune, and how all their little fund was spent. When the little dinner party broke up I think every body went home happier. Edmund Carew felt happier. It was not because he had made a good start in his profession, for he was hardly aware of that; he had been interested in the case, and had forgotten himself.' It was not because Mr. Blenkinsopp had compelled him to take one of the banknotes as a fee, declaring that1 the case was . his own, and Edmuad Carew his barrister; it was not because he had made the acquaintance of the senior partner of an influential firm of city lawyers. I think the happy faces of the brother and sister whom he had befriended made him feel happy; but this I know, that when he reached his lonely chambers, tbey did not 'seem so lonely as usual; a fragrant memory seemed to be present, a frail, fairy-like form seemed to move about them ; and when he fell asleep," he dreamed' that a light little finger was laid upon his elbow and the two little eager eyes were gazing into his. , -: r -j. . f; - t Mr. Blenkinsopp went home Happier. He was a lone old man. He had a benevolent heart; but he was odd. - People thought him a stern old man ; but they did not know the painful story ot his life ; they did not know of the sweet home he had when young, and how in a week the old home had- been broken up and he had been sent to the care of a stern old aunt, full r of precise kindness, and sharp, prudent and saving ways ; they did not know of . the up-hill fight he had endured, nor yet how he had forsaken many a pleasure, and many a gain, that he might go home and watch by the ! side of his sick old aunt, who had been the making of him ; still less did they know the " story of the old Bible, which his aunt had read so regularly to him when he was a lad and which he read so regularly to his aunt when she was an invalid ; they did not know of that night when tue stenmees of the

- ' ' : i

yWi."-, VO.f34. aunt had forsaken her, and the story of a loving Saviour's death had laid hold upon her heart, and he learned to see there was more reality in that word than he ever thought of, and went to his room to read and : pray,' but not to rest.: They did not I know' how ' the bright and happy truth had at length' dawned ' upon j him, and how he' had changed in all but the cold, stiff manner that he could not change $ for though the heart was warm and tender that beat within, there was needed something without to draw forth the kindlier manner.' - 'US'. John and his sister went borne happier that night ; for' John's misfortunes had proved his success, and he was to go to Mr. Blenkinsopp's to morrow and commence' his occupation' as a clerk there at a fair salary. " '-' '' John,' said little Lucy, as she bade her brother good night 'I have thought of a nice text for to-day. i 'So have I, Lucy. ' : What is yours, John?' v? J ' 'No, tell me yours first, Lucy. ' l ,J 'When my father arid mother forsake me, the Lord taketh me up.' - And now yours John.' ' -y'Kt '' :-' ; " 'I have been young, and now am old, yet never saw I the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging their bread.' That's the text that came into ray mind when Mr. Blenkinsopp i told me I could go to him as clerk. I remembered our dear father's life, 'Lucy, and how he wore himself out in trying to help others, and how he always said he could trust the providence of God, because he knew the grace of God.' " Then they parted for the night, arid little Lucy knelt beside, her tiny, bed in that dingy little room, and thanked God for his care, ,and prayed a blessing on the good old man and the noble, young man who had befriended them that day. '., '. "','', ' There was a wedding some years after this, when Edmund Carew, Esq.,tQ. C, was married to Lucy Henthorn,' only sister of John' Henthorn,' Esq., of the firm of Blenkinsopp fc Henthorn, and a very happy wedding it was, and people remarked that old 1 Mr. Blenkinsopp looked the merriest of the party till the bride and bride-groom went away, and then it was noticed that he coughed a good deal, and muttered to himself and wiped his spectacle glasses very often. The Quiver (English Magazine ) , Warning to Those Using Ink. ' The Cincinnati Chronicle mentions a very peculiar, case of sickness whichj has been developed in one of the mem bers of a family residing at West End, in that city. A. little girl, aged about fourteen years, is a member of the First Intermediate School, and has been in - the habit of cleaning.. ber pen by sucking the ink from it, and then swallow-; ing the saliva thus poisoned. And it has not been an nnfrequent thing for,, her to take a bottle of ink i and drink . from it as she would water. Jvery re. monstrance of teachers and parents was. disregarded, until the poisonous fluid had permeated her whole system, and created a disease which, if it does cot baffle the best efforts of medical men in that city, will: require a long siege; of, sickness and suffering. The habit of cleaning pens with the mouth is not an uncommon one, and- though the' saliva. may be immediately spit' but, there yetre mains enough ink in it, if the practice is continued, .to gradually and surely pass over the system, and; being poisonous, must do harm. A word to the wise should be sufficient. '' ; .Singing. . , Singing is the . utterance of joy, of grateful joy; originally of pious joy, we may well believe, if weturn back to the ; earliest records: Then sang mioses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord: I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously, the -horse and his rider hath he thrown into ' the sea. The Lord is my- strength and ' song, and he is become my salvation.' 1 In the Psalms the ' nations, the kings doms, the righteous, the saints, the heavens, the earth, all are called to sing; , to sing with gladness and shout for joy: . God's majesty, his might, his grace, ' his truth," . his " patience, all - his ' attributes, are to be i subjects : of our songs; and 'everthing that hath breath' . is commanded to sing; The invitations to praise, in the six concluding Psalms, rouse the soul as with a whole band 1 of music. James H. Kimball in Congre -Rationalist. ; - .i . r34 ;?-. ; " . . A paper, published la Palmer, Mass I . says: - 'Whoever rides thro the moun-. tain towns of our State during the present haying season will see scores of women at work in the field. In a ride of half a dozen miles last week we coun. :- ted thirty women raking hay. In most, cases they were the wives and ' daughters of the farmers' , who own the 'fields. ! Men's help is scarce and high, and the women of the family, like true helpmeets, turn in and help gather the crops.

We are glad that the county press has commenced drawing attention to the system of swindling carried on between county ' officers; wholesale 1 stationers and large city printing houses, t It has assumed gigantic proportions, and should be checked forthwith.'
