in tbe line of pain, or ache, that had ever
beset poor frail humanity.
I am quite certain no magician in his
most terrifying habiliment could have
been more frightful in appeurauce than

He suddenly stepped np to two young

done, load calls were made every where

soon that gallant, young and nob'o son
of Lincnliiton appeared on the stand and
