reached the middle he stumbled, his head

fell senseless. They carried him from the

place of si t recv. They had just reached
the street when they remembered that
they had left something compromising be

the olheers arrived. 1 he rent is known.
(iourard wus remanded to be tried befnru

lutt, however, wilt H letter to his mother
informing her of his great trouble mid in
suring her of his innocence. His mother,
hastening to Paris, had secured the ser

The day of trial at length arrived. It
happened, however, that on that very day

tain persons with whom he had important
business. Not having anything tu tlo he
sought the court room for the purMjse of
passing the tunc in observing the proceed
big of the court. 11 is route led him by
the jail where (iourard was incarcerated.
Just before reaching the grim receptacle
of crime and misery, two officers, having
in charge pale young man, apparently
about twenty-one, ctinie lroni tlie prison,
stepped upon tlie walk immediately in
front tit rum, and moved in the Maine di
rection he was going. M. Huston had
then an opportunity to observe the feu
tures of the young prisoner. His fea

all struck the vouns lawyer lavorably
I he three persons walked with rapid
stride toward tlie house, llievliad pro.
ceoded but a abort distance when they were
met by a rosii'tably-!ipieai'ing woiuau of
about forty years of age. I he moment
she saw him she sprang forward and
clasped him in her arms, exclaiming :

The sudden appearance of the woman
caused the ofliccis to halt.
"Mother, why didn't you wait ut the
( otirt House for me? said the youii''
man, endeavoring to smother his emo
tions.
"Because I did not see you then1, Henri,
and I thought 11 haps you inilit not
have your trial to-day after all, and so I
started to nee you at the jail. Hi, my
darling, said the wretched woman, her
voice now broken with sobs, "are they
going to try you to-day 7
"Yes, mother, I am to be tried to-day
Hut calm yoiunrlf. I trust all will he
well with me, for God above knows that
I atu not guilty."
The woman raising herself to her full
hemlit, with flailiine eyes, answered :
"V011 guil'y, Henri I You guilty?
ho dare accuse you T
Then hesitatingly, and seeming to real
iie the full situation of the wretchej doom
that threatened her ion, she exclaimed :
"Uu, 110, no! 1011 are not guilt t ! 1011
cannot be, you are ao good ami true
There ! there ! Now jou look just as you
used t, when oil your kueet I first taaglit

' "Come, come, ofd woman, stand aside
and don't hinder us tuv loinrer. The
young man is wanted ynuder," laid one of
the otlioeni, pointing , toward the court
house.
"Oh, air," said the woman, "do you not
see that be it injured that 110 u inno

"Yea, yea. You aint the first good
woman who has had a bad boy for a son.
Come on my covey. Monsieur le Juge
will see to that."
(iiiftou's progress was arrested by this
pathetic acene. leeply touched by the
appearance of the. mother and son, he
followed tlicm to the court house. Just
as they were about to ascend the steps that
led to the court house, the young man
auu'd a moment.
"Mother," said he, "is M. IJclot eoing
to undertake my defence ?"
Not unless we pay him 111 advance,
and and we have not got the money, you
know.
Ohifiod have mercy ttiion mc," cx-
laimed the young man, completely break
down.
"What shall I do?"
'Come along ; don't stop to blubber
here. The court will appoint some one to

lie was soon seated in the prisoner's
box to wait the proceedings of Court.
J he young lawyer followed the oflieor
into the court room und sealed himself be
hind the bur. After scanning more care
fully the features of the prisoner, he said
to himself : "If that young man is guilty
of any serious crime, then I am 110 judge
of features."
Presently the loud tap announced the
approach of Monsieur le Jugc.
"Ollicer, said the prosecuting lawyer,
is Henri (iourard in court?''
lie is," was the reply.
"Has the prisoner counsel?" asked the
Judge.
No. Monsieur; I expected M. Helot to
Icfend me, but he refuses now."
"Why docs he refuse?" asked the
Court.
"Because 1 have 110 money to pay him,"
was tlie reply.
" I hen, as you have no means to em
ploy counsel, the Court will see that you
have counsel."
The judge now addressed a respectably-
appearing lawyer present, but he declined
under the plea that he had pressing busi
ness. The Court then addressed several
other lawyers, with the same reault. At
this moment another lawyer entered to
whom the judge said :
Monsieur Mordaunt, the Court desires
you to undertake the defense of Henri
Gonrard, the prisoner nt the bar."
"Ah, yes; your Honor can always com
mand 111 v poor service; but in view of the
pris'oncr'a means I mean the nature of
his great oflou.se 1 think that he had
better plead guilty and be done with it."
A sob of deep, broken-hearted anguish
resounded through the court room; it was
from the poor mother, who heard ill this
the knell of her son 'a doom.
"If the court please, I will undertake
the defeuse of the young man," said M.
(iaston, in a voice whose tones attracted
the attention of every 0110 in the court
room.
With somo surprise at the youth of the
young lawyer, the judge asked ii he de
sired assistance, to which (iaston replied
that he would undertake the entire charge
of the defense.
The ease was then ailiourued one day (o
give M. (iaston an opportunity to consult
with tlie prisoner.
1 lie prisoner was the only son ol tlie
poor woman present, and she was a widow.
A lew days before (lie commission of tlie
crime wit 11 wlncli lie was ciiarseii, lie
came to Paris for the purpose of ubtaining
employment, lie soon mime tlie ac
quaintance of a very friendly appearing
man, who took much interest in him, and
kindly offered to assist him 111 obtaining
cniiilovmeut. One evening he was invi
ted by his friend to accompany li tin and
examine some personal property he had in
the But' Madeleine III a certain hiiildin
he had rented. Although it was quite
late, Henri, usseiili'il. On their way his
friend overtook another iierson with whom
he was acmiuiutcd, und whom he also in
vited. His friend now informed him that
he greatly desired to enter a building
which be pointed out. savin" that was his
stole, but as he had forgotten his key he
produced a small nun bar which he
li.unlril to Henri, U'lling him to pry open
one ol tlie shutters. 111 a moment the
young man understood that he was in the
presence of burglars, und, horror-stricken
at the thought, he attempted to run away;
but ere he had two gotten steps he received
a heavy blow on the head which felled him
to the earth insensible.

whom he had started out with had made
his escape, while K I n't had been cap
tured. The next illuming the trial began. The
ex-galley slave repeated the same story
that he had originally told. On the cross
examination by M. (iaston, however, at
Gitl he sustained himself but at length he
stumbled, hesitated, and became confused,
und it was evident that his testimony was
considerably shukeu. The chief clerk of
the murdered luan was then put oil the
stand, and to the iiueslioiiH put by M.
(iustoii, it Wat learned that no blow! had
been found on the floor below the one
where M. llertrand's body was found, und
where Hichrt had testified that the pris
oner had struck his head on the counter.
The officer who first discovered the
prisoner testified that on the spot where
(ioururd's head rested there was a great
pool of blood. M. (iaston then called the
surgeon who testified that the wound on
the head of (iourard could not
have heeu made m Hichet had sworn
that it was inftit'ed by a club or tome,
heavy instrument.
With this evidence the young lawyer
rested his case, and it went to tlie jury.
The jury retired, and after an hour's
absence returned into the court room with
a verdict of not (jml'y- The greut, the
rich reward of M. (iaston was the ulnioat

and son took their leave of their geuerous
benefactor.
Years rolled on; the croup d'etat of
December '1. 1851, had made and un
made many. M. Pierre (iastou had de
voted all his energy and eloquence against
the usurper. Hut like many others, he
ad been crushed. His greut practice in
the law, that he had been years build up,
had been swept away, as had bis fortune

his benefactor that Jie was a well-to-do

CIRLS' COSSIP.
Pkakkst Am V. Mrs. Black was talk
ing to us girls the other evening about mar
riage. Nic has got oil all her own daugh
ters, and is full of wisdom on the subject.
Girls ought to exert themselves," she
saitl, "especially when a kind Providence
semis a good imrli 111 their way. Heaven
helps girls who help themselves:." "But
what is one to dor asked lunula, whose
nose is of that delightful shape that she
can say anything without seeming rude.
"How did you manage Yourself, for in
stance, Mrs. Black?" "That was a differ
ent matter. I had only to select one from
a number, I had so many proposals. But
girls who find themselves rapidly approach
ing the fatal first shelf should really exert
themselves to please and interest the must
eligible men of their acquaintance."
-But that would be flirting," said
lihoda, "would it not?"
"Most certainly not, my dear. It would
be simply showing that you wish to please,
and a really clever girl knows how to tlo
that without going too far."
I wonder if she ever read Mrs. Hannah
More, and her precepts for the guidance of
"young women of quality." I suppose the
Misses Black simply proposed to every eli
gible mail they met until they found some
one goose enough to say "Yes."
Charlie is awfully afraid of a girl here,
a Miss Church. We think she means to
propose to him. If she does it. will be
very mean of her, for all our set know that
Charlie is Maud's property. But then,
there are somo girls mean enough for any
thing. And al'terill. they am not wore
than men, many of whom never think of
flirting with a woman until she is some
body elses wife.
None of us like Miss Church. She
goes to early prayers every morning of her
life a practice which surely ought to
make her amiable ami nice, but does not.
To be with her has the sauiu effect as
looking into an unhcenming mirror. It
sours one. Mie sum to .ilaiul the other

such n thing in my life." "Oh I beg your
pardon, replied Miss ( liun-h, "but I had

TOM CORWIN'S DREAM.
A Boston correspondent relates in a
former number of llnrpir't Mnijiuine the
following anecdote of "Tom" Corwin :
It was when "Tom" was at the lenith
of his sipiilarily, and when a word from
him turned the scales generally. It is a
well-known fact that he never affiliated
with any church, ereetls being of secondary
importance, thu the definition of Christi
anity, for him, being found in James, I.
2". He was always a firm supporter of
the Gospel, however, ill the town of I, ,
aud he regularly held u pew ut the church
where his wife was a devoted member; but
as for himself, its four walls seldom or
never held him. Poor Tom Corwin !
Now the minister at L being, in the
course of things, about to leave, a younger
aspirant for pulpit honors made hi ap
pearance in due time, and before his pre
decessor should th-part, he made it in bis
way to converse with him fnt'ly and fully
ou the various members of the church ami
eongregalioii, Of course Mr. Corwin
came in for a full share of the discussion,
und the incoming pastor made very minute
inquiries concerning this persistent "black
sheep" who wouldn't allow himself to be
washed, Being assured that in u long
ministry it had been impossible to impress
him, the awful sense of his duty in the
matter so overpowered our friend that he
determined to call upon Mr. Corwin and
endeavor to the best of his ability to talk
him over.
So, accordingly, one day a marked one
it proved to be in his calendar he pre
sented himself tit the floor, and was de
lighted to find the object of his search at
his table. Seeing another gentleman lires-
nt, however, be felt called upon to re
mark that "as he had come for a private
interview, he would, etc., etc. Mr. Cur
win answered linn that the gentleman in
iiiestioii was his biolher in-mw, and, as
such, the recipient of his most secret
thoughts; consequently, anything of a 0011-
hilentia nature was perleetly safe with him,
and could he said then and there.
Seeing thus no alternative, the devoted
helper of souls opened tire, and for an huur
poured into the courteously attentive car
of his listener his torrent of alternate in
vective, entreaty, threatening, and promise.
lieu lie ceased for want ol breath and
wolds, Mr. Corwin. in the mildest way
possible, answered thus :
".My dear mend, you have dune your
duty us you see it, and I thank you for
your apparent interest in iny spiritual wel
fare, but I can best answer you, in return
for your kindness, by relating a dream 1
had only last night. Do you know Jones?"
"Oh yes, he is one of our deacons, and
a very fine num."
"Do you also know Smith ?"
"Yes, indeed; he is another of our first
men, and renowned for his piety."
"And Thompson do you happen to
know him ?"
"Certainly, certainly," quoth the parson;
"he is one of the pillars of our church."
""Well," proceeded honest Tom, "iny
dream relates In all of them as well as tn
myself. In my dream, which is singular
ly distinct, we all died, und started together
011 the Kime road toward the bar of Gol
for our final judgment. As we ap
proached the gate of the Celestial City, we
were very much surprised to see that
the great tribunal was being held outside
the walls. I'poii a high and commanding
seat we saw the judge, in whom we recog
nizril Father Abraham in judicial robes,
his lii ui-set features and long flowing beard
alike proclaiming him to be tho true pa
triarch. Great crowds were all around,
and I must acknowledge my knees trem
bled tinder me, ami there was a sore quak
ing at my heart as we drew near. A man
at his feet had a well-thumbed ledger on
his knee, in which he made search as
Father Abraham called out, one by one,
the names of that countless throng. Soon
I heard the name of Jones called, and
Jones left iny side to attend the summons.
''Jones,' said the patriarch, 'are you
the Jones who is deacon of the church at
L ?'
'"Yes. Sire.'
",ook out Jones' account there.'
"The man searched for it iu his ledger,
aud, finding it, handed it up.
"'1 find you accredited with having
given twenty-live dollars toward the belfry
of the church. Is that so ?'
" 'Yes, Sire.'
" 'I also find that you have given ten
dollars yearly to the supMirt of the Gospel.'
'"Yes Sire.'
'"But, oil theotherside,yoil are charged
with oppressing the poor, collecting enor
mous rents, and foiL't'ttiug to imv vour itist
tines. I'll have none of you ! Take Jones
away In the left !' And I saw poor Jones
vanish from before 111 v eyes into the throng
of goats.
"'Smith!' Tremblingly Smith awaited
his doom at the patriarch's feet.
"Give mc Smith s tteeouiit. Smith, arc
you the Smith so conspicuous for piety in
the church at L ?'
' 'Ye, Sire'
'"I find you accredited with lilleen dol
lars Inward building the church. Is that
so?'
"'Yes, Sire.'
" 'I also find that you paid five dollars
toward the expenses of the church, Is
that true?'
"'Yes, Sire.'
"'But, ou the other hand, I find that
you have traded with your fellow-man in a
way that is hardly up to the golden-rule
standard. It is recorded that you used
two measures in your business, one large,
to buy by, aud the other small, to sell by
Is that so ?'
"liiiw came the words, 'Yes Sire.'
"'I read here, too, that your evil tongue
has crept around lies, mid hasu t hesitated
to bear false witness against your neigh
bor,
"Iower still: 'Yes, Sire.'
" 'Away with him ! wolves sheep's cloth
ing have 110 entrance here !
"And then I heard and it was like
the blast of a trumpet to my awed car
1 0111 ( orwin I Is loin ( orwiu here?
and I. shaking in every limb for I knew
1 had been nothing to the church tin
sworod, and staggered up to hear my
disiiii.
"'Tom Corwin,' said the stem voice of
rather Abndiuui, 'are you thejnotorious
loui torwin ot L 1
''Yen, Sire,' I answered.
" 'Uuve you spent any thing for tlie
belfry?'
" 'No. Sire.'
"'Ilavo yon waited uhhi the service of
thp church every Sabbath?'
' -No. Sire.'
" 'These things I diinl charged against
you, Sir; but, on the other side, are you
the luan who signed a note for your friend
to ahield him, and then suffered such loss
that you beggared yourself?'
" 'Yes, Sire, but it was u long time ago.'
' 'Are you the man who dares to give
rents to the poor when they cannot meet
the demands ?'
" ' I am afraid so, Sire.'
"Are you the man who keeps the ninth
commandment, and lets your neighbor rest
in peace? Sheriff, bring 1110 tlie ke.i !
Tom Corwin, enter the Golden (late !' "
And Tom, the incorrible, smilingly
bowed tlin parson out.

The following is saitl by the Timtt, of
Madisonville, Intl., to have occurred at that
place : The other night, w hen one of our
prominent society young men called to see
his girl, he found licr mother silting quiet
ly before the lire. After bidding him
"good evening," she looked him full in the
face and said : "Do you really love my
daughter Fiuiiia ?" "Well ah my dear
nia lame," stammered the youth, turning
red in the face, "I have only bis 11 coining
to see your daughter two mouths, und I
really think you arc a little premature in
propounding such u question. "Units
where we differ, young man. If the seed
of yoiir sowing now will lning forth a mat
rimonial harvest, I'm willing to put up
with ymi a while longer, but if vou arc
tinning here three nights out of tile week
just to pass uwuy time, You had better
cease coming at mice. " 1 en. ell, really,
madauie," put iu thu youth, his voice all
in a quiver, 'since you press me so closely
for an utisvitT I must udmit that I am
very fond of Kuinia. and that I live for
her alone " "Yes," broke in the anxious
mamma; "that's the trouble with you
young men; you Waste too much time liv
ing for a girl alone when you ought to be
living with her. I'm a plain, old-fashioned
woman and always say what I think. Now
I'm willing to give you a month longer as
a trial, but if at the end of that time I
don't see 11 spank in' new ring on F.mma's
linger, your visits to this house will be cut
off." And then, to the great relief of the
young man, she left the room and sent in
her daughter, who of course, was utterly
unconscious of the "gotid licks" her mother
had been putting in lor her.

During the day of iny arrival I saw a
few men sweating under the labor of pull
ing two sacks of flour on a toboggan, and
several dog trains. The dog trains are
amusing if not admirable as a means of
transporting freight. They are made up
of Indian dogs, collies, mongrels scrub
yelpers, Newfoundlands and mastitis, with
now aud theu a bulldog. The driver goes
behind and urges them on with snowballs,
now and then finding it necessary to go
forward ami make a la.y cur work up to
his collar by giving him the bight of a
packing rope. Poor brute! Probably it
is his only bight of any kind for many
hours. I asked onu tlog team man what
he ted his dogs on and he said:
"Tallow and Indian meal."
"Are they trained?"
"No; we jiick up all sorts of dogs and
work them 111 very soon by putting a
good tlog ou tlie leati.
"Do they never balk ?"'
"No; dogs are the blankest I'ihiIs in the
world while thev are the sagaciousest an
imals. Why, when them dogs near about
pull their toe-nails off coinin' up 11 steep
hill, they bark out their delight when I
go up and put them on the head and cull
them 'good dogs. Horses or no other an
iuials won't be fed on such tally. Why,
these dogs will stand it to be cussed for
miles and then be tickled to death at a pat
on I lie head.
The men hauls say the dog learns spoil
goods like the mischief. They are all the
time tipping them over and rolling them
around.

The cia'umstaiiees of the most heroic
and romantic deed connected with the late
Kvcringhaui disaster was related to us yes
terday. After the boat had been banked
and a roster of the crew was called, As
sistant Pilot Wingate tlid not answer.
"Where is Wingate?" some one shouted.
"Asleep iu his berth," wus the answer,
und by this lime the supports of the upper
deck were being eaten rapidly away, and
the flames circled round and round over
the hurricane dn-L. licking the glass of
the state mom doors, to disappear now ami
anon through the black curls of dense and
stifling smote, then again to streak
the black sky like the livid pulse of de
struction that it was. and then to soar away
and vanish into the oblivion of heat to
scar the invisible alums of the air. It was
iu the midst of this panorama of horror
that a black form was seen rushing toward
Wiiigate's berth and impending death.
A surge, a crash, and the door gave way,
and Wingate and his reseuer,through ways
left fn-e by Providence, escaped iu safety
to the shore. This negro, on hearing that
Pilot Wingalo was iu his state-room, ban
ished all fear of his own safety to rescue
him, whicluwas ojnic ill return forth Hav
ing of his own life by Wingale when the
Wylly went to piece against the Fort
Gaines bridge lust April. He was going
under for the third time when Wingate
snatched him from his grave. This was
gratitude ami heroism equaled by no in
stance iu the calamitous records uf many
and many a day, ami deserves a monument

expensively attired and wore bangs.
He wus her ufliuuccd, an economical
young man, iu short, a pluiu, every-day

He dared to venture the remark that he
"liclieved in leaving everything precisely
tho same as the divine hand of Providence

"Do you really, Churlie ?" she asked.
"Yes," he continued, "remember, my

"No, Charlie, that 'a no; in fact, Kve

A Philadelphia man, in a sleeping-car,
