At the prisoner ho looked askance." And his narrative, though clear, was
yet delivered with any tiling but a ped

The piisyner took hiso.it;ami th- :i bis Mile a-sised by her father, came in and sat beside him. She was indeed a woman

fading and trembling creature tb.at woman sometimes ic, but the strong, seli-r-upportfd, and all enduring being that is, indeed, but a little lower than the a;:g: Is. All 'poke, and spoke kindly to la r and to him. The trial went on; I sat fronting the witnesses, the prison
er, and Webster. The first ei idence ii.tioduf ed was that of the old farmer;
lie testified that as lie was riding dow n
to town, he overlook and passed two
men. one was Croton the pedlar, ami
the ether a man in a slouched hat, jean
i nml ivifh Ids boot outside his
pantaloons: he pased these men am
slopped awhile at a neighbor's, and
then rode oa. Pretty soon, as he was
jogging along, he heard, just as he
reached the crotch or fork ot the road
in the forest, a cry for help; by turning
right ltdo the other branch ol the road
he came upon the traveler who hat
velcd now a-davs. He parted w
companion at the old pond, by t
butternut, a little before you conic te
the folks spoken of by the farmer, no (the pedlar) went west to the Connecticut; he heard of the robbery, but sawno description of tb.e rohhe r, nor dreamt it was bis comp tiiion until a short fn-ie since the old firmer had roccgrdzH him and (old him so. Upon being (old by the counsel for the Sta'e to point out
the man woo had neon wuu mm, no
turned round .and pointed to the prisoner; ;ts he did so be met Y cbster's d irk and soul-searching eye fixed full upon him, and hishand evidently trembled. His tab:, however, had beet, consistent; he had recalled unions small occurrences, and spoken ol them out cf their proper places, which roomed to show that his tale .bad not been
learned, but w as in ttu'.h v oi d for word correrf. Poor Slater's case seemed desperate; he had not a single witness, and several of those against him, particularly tite old farmer, and the one who testified to his purchase from the pedlar, were undoubted; then his coming into possession of a I nge, sum oi money from an unknown sou ice, and just at the moment of the robbery.
Tor myself, 1 believed him gmlty, ami
as I looked at his noble with, whose countenance, spotless and colorless as
alabaster, wa yet before tne as calm as
tbiil of the dead, my heart mod within me. I ut the last w itness had not yet left the stand; Croton, the pedlar, turn
ing from the withering glance of eb-
ter, stood, his back against the pillar.
his eyes fixed upon the ground, and his arms folded aw aiting the cross-examin
ation, which was the prisoner's sole remaining chance. Webster, when the
council tor the state said to hint with a
patronizing air, "The witness is yours,
Daniel, had arisen. and when lite pedlar lifted his eyes he saw fronting him, and within two feet, that dreaded and dark countenance, the fall eye fixed upon him, and the hps pressed close; he would have sprung buck but the pillar was behind him "Civo me that paper,"1 F.iid Webster, in alow determined tone that made our nerves as well as

For the money w hich Slater had received, it was discovered years after, that it bad been left him by bis other rival. P.rentford, w ho knew his difficulties. For Webster llie trial was of immense importance; it laid the foundation of Ids fame. How he could see that paper and guess what was in it
man's waistcoat pocket, was more toaii Yankee and even at this day there, are many in that neighborhood who think the great man can really see thro' a pine board; .and Webster himself still tclh with great effect the anecdote of hi- seeing (he paper hi (he pocket of tbo "man in the sttiped jacket." and bow he puzzled all enquirer-: by sayinc. as ho fixed his keen eye upon them, that it must bo it pretty poor lawyer tli"t could not see into a man's waist-

The youthful adventurer should not be permitted to enter on the stage of hfo w ii h these chimerical nod high-wrought ideas of llm future, that often occupy the mini', shutting out the sober realities of exis'ence, and unfitting it for the j.ei form w oe of its duties and ac(nil cnier.; -, as well as its rational en-

In ib" huovanev of youthful feelings, and amid (!): allurements that surround, enthral and captivate the youthful heart, we art" loo prone to look upon the world as a glittering panorama of light, puri'v aad beauty, and the reins are too often thrown upon the neck of fincv. while imagination wanders forlb, uncopifrolh d amid the. hixuriitr.ee ot its
