MISCELLANY.
Correspondence of Arthur's Hume Gazette.
m AFFECTING COURT INCIDENT.
" LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION.''
We take pleasure in relating an inci
dent which greatly enlisted our sympa
thies, held us spell-bound by iis interest,
aud finally made our hearts leap with
joy at its happy termination.
In the spring of 1S3S, we chanced to
be spending a frw days in a beautiful
inland country town in Pennsylvania.
It was fourt-week, and to relieve us from
the, somewhat monotonous incidents ol
village life, we stepped into the room
where the court had convened.
Among the prisoners in the box, we
saw a lad but ten years of age, whose
sad, pensive countenance, his young and
innocent appearance, caused him to look
sadly out of place among the hardened
criminals Ly whom he was surrounded.
Close by the box, and manifesting the
greatest interest in the proceedings, sat
a tearful woman, whose anxious glance
from the Judge to the boy left us no room
to doubt that it was his mother. W
turned with sadness from the scene to
inquire of the offence of the prisoner,
and learned fie was accused of stealing
money.
Tfie case was soon commenced, and,
by the interest manifested by that large
crowd, we found that our heart was not
the only one in which sympathy for the
lad existed.- How we pilied him!
The bright smile had vanished from hi
face, and now it expressed the cares f
the aged. His young sister, a hrigl t
eyed girl had gained admission to hi;
side, and cheered him with the whispei
ing of hope.
IBur that sweet voice, which before
caused his heat t to bound with happi
ness, added only to the grief his shame
had brought upon him.
The piogress of the case acquainted
us with the circumstances of the loss
th" extent of which was but a dinii-, 1.0
more !
The lad's employer, a wealthy, mi
serly, and unprincipled manutacttuer,
had made use of it for the purpose o.
what he called "testing the boy's hon
esty." It was placed where, from its
very position, the lad would oftest see
if, and least suspect the trap. The day
passed, and the master, to his mortifica-
-tion. not pleasure, tounu ttie com un
touched. Another day passed, and yt
his obj.t was not gained. He, howev
er, determined that the boy should take
it, and so he let it remain.
This continued temptation was too
much for the boy's resistance. Th
dime was taken. A simple present for
that little sister was purchased with it.
But while returning home to gladden
her heart, his own was made heavy by
being arrested for theft ! a crime, the
nature of which he little knew, l hese
circumstances were sustained by seveial
of his employer's workmen, who were
also parties, to the plot. An attorney
urged..-, upon the, jury the necessity of
making the "little rogue " an example
tov others, by punishment. Before I
could see raauy tears of sympathy for
the'lad? his widowed mother, and ftith
fuTsisterts' But their eyes were all dty
how, aud none looked as if they cartd
for aught else but a conviction.
The accuser sat in a conspicuous
place, smiling as if iu fiend-hke exulta
tion over misery he had brought upi n
tnat poor,1 but once happy trio.
' We felt that there was but little hope
:ibr,the boy, and the vouthful appear-
ancefpf Jhe Vattoruey, who' had vol mi,
tee feu in his defence, 5 gave . no encour
agementi us we learned it was the rouug
man's maiden plea his first address-i-H
e5 appeared : greatly confused, , a nd
v reached to a desk near him, from wh ich
r he look the Biblefthathad ren Used to
solemnize trie! tesRmooj This ""move
ment i-was. received with general - laugh
ter tid taunting rtimaric 'tanwag vhich
"iwe rieard a harsb fellow, ;lose to us, cry
" He forgets what it is. Thinking to
get hold of some ponderous law book,
he has made a mistake and got the
Bible."
The remark made the young attorney
blush with anger, and tim.iag his flash
ing eyes upon the audience, he convim -ed
hem that there was no mistake, say
og " Justice wants no fietitT took."
i lis confusion was gone, and instantly
ie was as calm a- ihe sober Judge on
he bench. Th-- B.b'e was opened, and
?very eye was upon him, as he qui' tly
did IHsurely turned over the leaves.
Amidst breathless silence, he read the
jury this sentence :
"l.KAD US NOT INTO T K M PT AT ION.
We lelt our htait throb at the tiound
of these words. The audience looked
it eacli other without speaking ; and the
jurymen exchanged glances as the ap
prnpiiate quolatiou canietl its moial to
i heir hearts. Then followed an address,
which, for pathetic eloquence, we have
never heard excelled. Its influence was
like magic. We saw the guilty accuser
leave the room, iu fear of peisonal vio
ence. The prisoner looked hopeful
i he mother smiled again and before
its conclusion, there was not an eye in
the court room that was not moist.
The speech, affecting to that degree
which caused tears, held its hearers
spell-bound.
The little time that was necessary to
transpire before the verdict of the jury
could be learned, was a period of great
anxiety and suspense. But when their
whispering consultation ceased, and
those happy words, " Not guilty' came
from the foreman, they passed like a
thrill of exectricity from lip to lip, the
austere dignity of the court was forgot
ten, aud not a voice was there that did
not join in the acclamation that hailed
the lad's release. The young lawyer's
first plea was a successful one. He was
soon a favorite, and now represents his
district in the councils of the Common
wealth. The lad has never ceased his grate
ful remembrances, and we, by the affect
ing scene herein described, have often
been led to think how manifold greater
is the crime of the tempter than of the
tempted.

THE OLD WIFE'S KISS.
The funeral services were ended, and as
the voice of prayer erased, tears were has
uly wiped orf from wei cheeks, and lonjr
drawn sighs relieved suppressed and cho
king soba, us the 'mourners' pepared lo
take leiive of i lie corpse.'
It was an old lnuii that lay there, robed
for the gruve. More than three score years
had whiteneiul tliose locks, and furrowed
that brow, and made tho3e stirTlimbs weary
of life's joui ney, and all the more willing
to lie down and rest where weariness is no
more suffererl. and infirmities are no longer
a bnrneti. The aged have but few to weep
fur them when they "die. The poostbf
those who would have mour'ffed theit"Toss,
ii.-ive pone to the gruve before them; harps
hat would hnve sighed sad harmonies, are
scattered and jrone. And the few who re
main are looking eradleward, rather than
graveward to life's opening; ruiher than
lo its closing goal; are bound to, and living
m the- gencrati'. ii rising, inore than the
generation departing.
You:h and beauty have many admirers
while living have many mourners when
dying. Many tearful ones bend over their
coffined ciny, many sad hearts follow in
their funeral train. But the aged has few
admirers, few mourners. '
This was an old man, and the circle of
mourners was small. Two children, who
had themselves passed the middle of- life,
and who had children of their own to care
I for. and to be cared for by them. Besides
these, and a few friends who had seen and
visited him while sick, and possibly had
known him for a few ; years, there were
none others to shed a tear except his old
wife. And of this small company, the old
wife seemed to by the only heart mourner.
It isrespectful for friends to be sad for a few
minutes, till the service is performed, and
the hearse is out of sight. It is very prop
er and suitable for children who have out-
rrown the fervency and affections ofyoutb.
to shed tears when an aged parent says
farewell, and lies down to quiet slumbers,
Some regrets, some recollections of the
past, some transitory grief, and the pangs
are over. iS'ot always so. But often what,
little true genuine sorrow there is !
The old wife arose with difficulty ftom
her seal, and went to the coffin to look her
last look to take her last farewell.
Through the fast falling tears, she- gazed
long and fondly down into that pale, un
conscious face. What did she see there 1
Others saw nothing but the rigid features
of ihe dead; she saw more ! In every wrin
kle of that brow, she read the history of
years. From youth to manhood, from
manhood to old age in joy and sorrow, ii;
sickness and health it was all there; when
tliose children, who had now outgrown the
sympathies of childhood, were infants lying
un her. bosom and every year since then
there it was ! To others, those dull,
mule monitors were unintelligible; to her.
ihey were the alphabet of the heart fam
iliar as household words !
And then the fature ! 'What will be
come of tne ? What shall I do now V S' e
did not say so she did not say anything:
')"it she felt it. The prospect of the ohi
wife is clouded. The home circle is bro
ken, never to be re united the visions of
the heanh-btone are fccattered forever. Up
to that hour, there was a home, to which
the heart always turned with fondness
But that magic is sundered the keystone
uf that sacred arch has fallen, and now
home is nowhere ihis side of heaven 1
What shall the old wife do now ? Go and
live with her children, be a pensioner upon
iheir kindness, where she may be more ot
a burden than a bossitur----so at least sh
thinks ! Or shall she gather up the shatter
ed frn otripnts of that broken- arch, inaki
ilietu her temple and her shrine, sit do-i.
in her chili solitude besides its expiring
fire, and die ? What shall she do dow ?
They gently crowded her away from the
dead, and the undertaker came fuiwari
with the coffin-lid in his hand. It is all
right and proper enough of course it must
be done: but to the heart mourner, it brings
a kind of shudder, a thrill of agony, as
when the headsman comes forward with
ms axe ! The undt r'aker stood for a mo
ment with decent propr e'y, not wishing to
manifest a rude haste, but evidently lesi
rous to be expeditious as possible. Just as
he was about lo close the coffin, the old
wife turned back, and stooping down, im
daj, when a band divine shall, gaiher.its
scattered. Just, and rebuild, fcrfc&tnoruHtjr
its broken .walls. v r
May the old wife's kiss, that linked the
liring wiib the dead, b the token, of a
holier tie, that shall bind their ( spirits in
that better land, where tears are., wiped
from nil faces, and the days of their mourn
ing are ended.

hps of her dead husband, then staggered
to her seat, buried her face in her hands,

sirht forever !
I'hat kiss ! Fond token of affection, anil
of sorrow, and memory, and farewell! I
have seen many kiss their dead many
such seals of love upon clay cold lips but
never did 1 see one so purely sad, so sim
ply heart touching and hopeless as that !
Or if it had hope, it was that which looks
beyond coffins and charnel-houses, and
damp, dark tombs, fo the joys of the home

row, but recoils again, elastic with faith
buoyant with hope. Buthere was no
beauty, no poetry or romance, '.' The heart
of the old wife was like the wearv swim

Years passed away. William Clare had
graduated with the greatest honors at col
lege; and report said he was engaged la
be married to a very beautif al young-heiress
he had met at a-ftishionable-watering
place. Alas for man's constancy'! and
was sweet Cecil so soon - f orgotton f ; No :
at the dim twilight houryowben- others me
mories were busy at his heart," when the
large brilliant eyes of his betrothed were no
longer fixed on his, he-could hear , the soft
sweet tones of Cecil murmuring 'Do you
love me, cousin. Willie?', -And; then h
would fly. and banish memory in thje srnfle
of the beautiful Edney Beltnonf.; - -
'Twas a dark arid gloomy, nigh C when
they were married ; and dark were the fates
ihat hung o'er ihein. During the. evening
his bride presented him rwith-.a glass of
wine, saying 'you will pledge me in tNs.

'O.-ily for once,' as he whispered his vow
never to touch. He could not refuse and
the glass was drained to the boiton. 'D:d

the mortification of being a drunkard's
wife had undermined u rather weak . cons
titution and she died. ' ,
And where was Cecil all. this time , Inf
i ho far off chine of Italy dying of a broken
heart! mingling her sighs wi.h every ,fra-
gnmt breutii of air that fanned her, pure
ransparent brow. Cecil Clare was ,.not
beautiful. There was not a feature the
Poets would have called regular ; but s.he
was exceedingly lovely her .pure transpar
ent skin richly mantled by the crimson vel
vet of the hectic flush made her look more
like a guardian Angel from the spirit land,
than a mortal. She had -traveled : in fore
ign lands, had mingled with the grave
md gay, yet she longed for the- quiet of
ner old mountain home. - , : 5
'Twas a bright spring dny : when sad-
hearted friends laid the slender form of Ce

citement had been too. much, and for many

Cecil, that is smoothing back the soft gol
den tresses from thy pure cheek, and -gaz
ing so intently inio thine eyes?. IS ay, start
not, 'tis W ilhe ; thy own wandering WJte!
Cecil opened her large dreamy eyes, and
placed them on .the sunburnt, Jace -before
ier. surely, she, was dreaming : that
could not be her own beautiful cousin.
She placed her thin hands before her eyes
to shut out the vision. ' . , .. . wt '

in her ear, 'look up ; 'tis Willie come for
