It might hive been the bias f his accustomed exercise in the op n air, or tho want of tho sight of ihe hi se sky, and of his old home, or adiead of the fate which might become his, or aad there were many who believed this it might have been the workings of his own mil conscience, thai were making such wild work with him- Hut certain it i, that although when he was first confined he seemed rigid glad ar the day npproached, in whioh he would have the chance of meeting the charges against him in open conn yet. a the lime drew near, his spud's drooped and it was obsvrwd, that the more often he conversed with his lawyer, tho more gloomy he became and that the very mention of the trial drove the blood from Lis chock. It was observed, too, that after these interviews, ho walked moodily up and down tho room with his arms folded end mutlerred to himself, as those do who have heaw burdens on their hearti and that his face was p. to and wast od, and hi? look troubled. At other times he remained lot hours with his arms crossed oa the table, find libs forehead resting upon them, in such deep thought, that ho did not move wb.cn persons camo in. There were many among his fiiends who attributed his changed appc. raticc to bis conlinomont and mental anxiety ;s to fbc result of his trial, ami still persisted in their bthef of bis innocence but then there j were those who thought otherwise, mid who fancied that re men h-d began its work, and that, as tlm day of retribution approvdicd.

jdid not like it it ctcmed a harbinger of a i darker fafe.

Neither i ope nor dread cm hasten or protract the steady march of time and in dun tim.-, the day of trial arrived. It wns a bright dav in the autumn, when :-kies are cloudless, and tho Melds and trees were clad i:i rainbow liveries. It w as aa idle time, too, in the country, and from far and near ihe inhabitants of town and hamlet gathered in to sea the sight. A man wsth his life ai steak, and struggling and battling lor it, with so mighty and .-direwd an adversary as law. It was indeed a great sight. It was worth going miles to witmass. Nor was it the less exciting that they knmv the victim, and that many of tl.em had hitherto admired his noaio and upright character and loved the man. Hut he had shed blood, and must pay the forfait. The court-house was a venerable old stone bud ling, standing by itself in the midst of a green lawn and at some distance from any ho use. Hut its solitude was now broken by ihe human voices for from every quarter peoplo were pouring in old and young, females, and even children, were there. Some were speaking on different subjects of the times of tho difficulties with England of the stata of the crops and one old man, bioken down and tottering, of his field 3 of what he intended to plant in them on the following year and of young trees which ho had set out of tho pleasure he anticipated, in petting under their shade, when they should become great, and tall, alio over snaaow were saplings nov d bis house. nay thoy won bd grow-t.iL-t am in a lew years, woim! ba unite shady and the oat l-.mow laughed, and sh' nit his h-aad, and rubbed his hands, as l:e thoug'itof it. In three weeks, the soil was on his co'din and when these trees were grown, they had passed into the possession of strangers and tho hands that n'ante 1 them w- re dust. S nm wor : talking of tb .-vingol tee mur.a r ana of Wirklilfe and of what a pe:.-t lie ha. been to tho country round so quarrMsonie and what a pitv it was that a line young fellow, like Harry Blake, should have to die for having slain a man like him. Then they spoke cf .Mary Lincoln an I one of them lowered his voice, raid said, that he he , .i, t:.;s her. Ho had seen the doctor, who had been r.t Mr. Lincoln's twice a day. tineo Harry Ii lake's imprironmeut. and he had -aid. that he was afraid it would go hard with her she was very ill. '1 lien the conversation was interrupted by the arrival of more new comers. In another part of the lawn, an old man was leaning on a cane, addressing a croney, w ho seemed as old and time-warn as himself. 'Ah! neiglibnt Williams,' said he, 'this is a very sad business. I knew his father before him; and I have known Ilarrv since ho was a mar babv -who'd thought it?' Neighbor Williams shook his mad; as much as to say, that nobody would have thought i';,bat seemed to think further expression of opinion unnecessary, for he said nothing. Ho w a a warm-hearted little boy; and a vrv hkelv man a very likely man,' continued the first speaker. 'It grieves me lo sea him here. It dees indeed, neighbor M'id.iams. Aain neighbor Williams shook hi; ne, u prooan.v to intimate, mat n Lrneve a bun too; but as bc-lore, ho lemained si t lent. It is a matter f some uncertainty, how lorn- ncichbor Williams might have been thus entertained by his companion, had not their conversation been interrupted by a general buzz of 'Hero he comes!' The next moment, Harry Hlake walked through the crowd, with an oilieer on each side ol him. lie was exceedingly pale but his face was full of calm determination, and his step firm and strong. lie looked neither to the right nor left and, apparently without noticing a soul, entered the court-house. The crowd g ithered close at his heels and tho next instant, were striving, and strugg'ing, and fighting, to obtain a good position, in tho court room. Harry L!ake seemed quite collected and the crowd felt somewhat disappointed that a man who had committed a murder should look like other men. Some whispered that he was a hardened reprobate, not to show same remorse and others said, that none but an innocent man could appear so calm and composed. There- was a great deal of whispering and talking among them, whilst the jurywas getting empanntlled but when mo counsel for the prosecution rose lo open the cause, they were so silent, that they seemed nol even to breathe. He dwelt briefly, but clearly, on the facts already known, lie stated that he should prove, that, on the day of the murder, the prisoner am 1 Wiekhfl'e hrd been together at a tavern, m l far from Shenectady that a quarrel had arisen between ' them, c.:id blows had passed that the prisoner had knocked Wickli'de to the floor that Wicklitfe had fled, and that the prisoner had only been dctaiimd from following him by foiee, and had then called all there present to witness that he wouM be revenged on that man for the wrong done him, if it cost him his life that lie" had finally been released by those who held him, on promising not to follow WicklilTe, but that he had positively refused ta prouvse that the quarrt I should stop there. I cat shortly alterwards he left the house s'.mie, taking the path which Wickiiffe had already taken that two of the persons who had boon at the tavern with him shortly afterwards left the inn, and took the same ro?d which be bad taken that on arriving ai a very lonelv put of it they were alarmed by the cries of a person m distress, and ut

tering the vvoids. 'Mercy, Mercy!' That these persons galloped to the spot from which the sound seemed to proceed, and found a man kneeling at ihe side of another, just murdered, and grasping in his hand a knife, which was driven to the haft in the breast of his victim; that the murdered man was Hiram Wieklitte. the person with whom the prisoner had just quarrelled, and oa whom he had sworn to b avenged, and that the person Kneeling at his side was Harry Hlake, the prisoner. There were foot-prints about the road, where there had evidently been a struggle, and these foot-prints had been examined, and compared with the foot of the prisoner, and were found to coincide in size. lie slated his case concisely, yet clearly , and seemed to think the facts sufficiently, strong to require but little exertion of eloquence or ingenuity oa his part. It is needless to lamer oa the detail of testimonv confirming tho case which the lawyer had stated in opening. It was most clearly proved, although every flfort was made, by a severe and strict eross examination, to embarrass and confuse the witnesses.
