After the Hall. BX Ii. H. HOTPBB. I sit beside my midnight Aro. Tho ball-room roses in my heir; Without the rain ?8 falling fast, And strange storm voices flu tho a;r. My feet are weary of the danoo,/ . '.. The revel whirls within my bram, * And something deep within my breast Throbs with acoasolesa pulso of pain. Yes; I have plucked the Dead Boa fruit, And savored long its rind of gold; Its ashy core norw frets my lip, Its .duBt is Talling from my bold. And though I struggle to forget, And though mv heart bo triply steeled, I cannot banish from my brain A vision of a battle-field. A vision of ?th at solemn hour When won and enecd is tho fight. And when upon the av, fal scone, ' Look down .the tender eyes of night; Whilo, pillowed on bis prostrate boree, And pale bouoatk his raven hair, The ola Broils now upon his lip, Tho man I love lies lifeless there. Ho loved me an such mon ean love, The hr?vo, tho noble, and tho true; He wooed me as a gallant hoart And poet soul alone could woo; He tola in burning words bis love; 1 listened with a startled smile; And spoke of friendship *nd regret, And yet i loved him ail the while. . I loved him-bu11 loved still more Gay balla, flirtations, etylish dress; To hold these fant I spurned away That true heart's wealth of tenderness. He left me with a calm farewell, Too fond to frown, too proud to sigh; I dancod and flirted as of old And ho went forth to fight and die. .And still I tread tho self-samo round Of balk, and operas, and dress; But o'er mv life is creeping slow A miet-)ike pall of weariness. The gayest galop fails to stir - Toliounding lifo my languid feet; Listless I drop my rich hoquet, My eenees sickened by its sweet. Gold lio the embers on the hearth; The dark without is growing gray, And I must woo reluctant sleep, Befofe the dawning of the day. . Back, ghostly Fast, into your tomb; Gloso, eyes, upon th' nu welcome light I am engaged for every dance At the grand ball to-morrow nightl IMPORTANT EVIDENCE. A LAWYER'S STORY. One bright morning in the month of,May, our usually quiet village was thrown into a state of wild excite? ment by the intelligence that Laura Downing had been murdered. Her lifeless body had been found upon the sandy shoro of the large pond, vrith a bullet hole through the head. The ball had entered between tho eyes, and had passed through the brain; rind the empty pistol was found by her side. It may.be asked, "Who waa Laura Downing?" / She was an orphan, and had been generally beloved by all who knew her. Her father, who had been a poor, hard-working man, had been dead for a number of years, and daring the past' five or six years, Laura had worked as she could find opportunity to support an invalid mother; but only a few months be? fore tho time of which I write, that mother had died, and Laura lived all alone in the little cot whioh had been her homo since she waa born-a period, according to the parish regis? ter, of nineteen years. The coroner came, and summoned a jury, and called such witnesses as he could find; and, after due exami? nation and deliberation, a verdict was rendered, to the effect that Laura Downing had come to her death by means of a bullet dis? charged from a pistol; and they believed that said pistol had been in the hands of Oliver Cartwright at the time it was thus fatally discharged. Oliver, Cartwright was arrested, and when the case came before the grand jory, they found a bill against him-a bill accusing him of the mur? der of Laura Downing-and he was committed for trial. "And who was Oliver Cartwright?" He was a young man of four-and twenty years of age, who has been "born and brought up in the town, and who has sustained a fair reputa? tion for honesty and sobriety; though he bad never been regarded as a very bright and promising youth. His parents had both been intemperate, .but they had been dead some years, ?und Oliver bad been at work at the blacksmith trade, and lived with the man for whom he worked. Between young Cartwright and Laura there had not only been a warm intimacy, "but there had evidently been at one limo au engagement of marriage be? tween them. This engagement, os -appeared in evidence before the coroner, had been broken by tho girl during tho previous winter, and since that time Oliver had becu morose and dejected. A young man named Daniel Severance, who had come into the village to assist in erecting a new woolen mill, had been very attentive to Laura, and the general impression waa that she left the old lover for the new one. Oliver Cartwright had the privi? lege of selecting his own counsel, and he sent for me. I was sorry that he did so; for I had heard so much of the evidence against him, that I ' not not only believed him guilty of the crime, but I could conceive of no possible line of defence. Still I could not refuse to go to him in his season of trouble. I found him as weak and wailing as a sn Hering child. He seemed en? tirely broken down, and the jailor told me that he wept more than half the time. As I sat down by bia side, ho seemed to read every thought that was pa&ing within me; for, ; . after Laving looked into my face a few momenta, be caught one of my banda in hi* own, and cried out in eager t?nest v , ? '?Oh, siri I have jaot'sufforod t??is in memory* of any crime; for, aa true aa there is a God in Heaven, I never did btw m to Laura! I would dio for her now ; arid I suffer because'T have lost her! Oh, eave me, if you can not from death-no, no! for I would rather die than live-but eave me from thia horrible suspicion! I did not kill her-I did not barm lier! I never so much as touched n hair of her head with cruel thought!" . "Who could haye killed her?" I asked,' "You do not think she killed herself?" "No," he replied, quickly, his eyes flashing, and his fingers toaring into the bosom of his shirt. "I think Daniel Severance killed her. I left her by the pond-left her alive and well -and presently afterwards I saw that bad man come out of the bushes, aud she took his arm, and they walked away by theredge of tho water." Cartwright's words and manner had a* powerful effect upon me. Under ordinary circumstances, I shoukl have said that he waa speak? ing tho truth j but there was such strong evidence to be disposed of before I could see my way clear to believe him now. I could not help sympathizing with him; and I was willing to boTieve if he.had done tho homicide, ho had done it under a state of mind which would give good grounds for Betting up a defence of insanity. But when I spoke to him of this, ho was pained beyond mea? sure, and refused to listen to the proposition for a moment. I then proceeded to detail to him the circumstances which would be brought up in evidence. "First," said I, "it will bo sworn to by several reliable witnesses, that iou have, at various times, been eard to threaten Laura Downing with dire personal injury, if you saw her again in the company of Danie! Severance." "That is true," replied the prison: er; "I only did it to frighten her. And I meant to frighten her for hex good, for I did not believe that Daniel Severance was an honest man." "It will also bo sworn that you once exhibited to Miss Downing n pistol, at the same time telling hei that you had bought it on purpose to shoot her with." Cartwright did not deny it; ho said that "he never meant her harm-he only meant to frighten her away from a bad man." "It will furthermore be given ic evidence," I continued, "that on thc evening of Miss Downing's murder, you followed her out to the point, where you again threatened her." "Yes," ho replied. "I knew sh< was going to meet with .Danie Severance. "You were seen to have a pistol ir your hand on that occasion, und yoi were heard to take an oath that yot would shoot her, if elie would not re turn with you. A Mr. Nichol's boy who was driving home his cows heard you make that fearful threat.' And even this the prisoner did no deny. He only said that ho was st il trying to frighten Laura into obe dienco to his wishes. "But," said I, "the pistol whicl was fonnd by the dead girl's side ha been recognized as your own." "That may be," replied Cart wright, for when I found that Lauri spurned me, and would not listen, '. sank upon my knees and prayed ti her. I dropped my pistol upon tb sand at that time, and I know I dit not pick it up again. She turne< and left me upon my knees, and ther I remained until I saw Severance joii her. They disappeared together, an< then forlorn and broken hearted, crawled home, and people thought because they found mo in sud torturing agony, that there wa blood upon my hands. But, befor God, my hands are clean. Danie Severance must have found m pistol; and it was he that kille Laura!" Such was the substance of all tba I coidd gain from my client; and must say that I really thought hil insane; and tried to get him to ac knowledge the homicide, and allo^ me to set np tho plea of insanity; br lie would consent to do no sue thing. The solemnity of Iiis ai surnnce, and the unmistakable lov which he still held for tho dead girl staggered my belief iii his guilt e> cecdingly. There was no variatio in his manner of speech at all nothing in whioh I could detect th slightest outward sign of fulsehood. Finally, I called in two physician; and they both agreed that they wer willing to testify under oath tin they did not consider him of soun mind; and in their presenco I urge him once more to confess tho killin; and I would save him, at least, froi tho extreme penalty of tho law. "My God!" he cried, with teal streaming down his cheeks, "if thought there was ono drop of th? doar girl's blood on my bauds, would kill myself in a moment! never did her harm-never!" When we went out of the cell, bot the physicians expressed tho opinic that the young man was insani and I determined, let como whi would, that I would base my dufen< upon that plea. Tho idea of dofent ing bim against the homicide was n< to be thought of. In fact, there did not Bcem a link in the phain wanting. At Ant, I h?d based some hopes I upon tho fact that Daniel Sere,rance had not been seen since the evening j of the girl's death; bot his absence | was easily accounted for. He had finished the work he had come to do: he had been paid in' full for his labor, and he had gono out to the {>ond to meet Laura Downing for tho ast time on that evening, as he was to take the oars early on the following morning. Even Oliver Cartwright admitted that he had so understood it. i And there could be nothing strange or suspicious in tho fact that we could learn nothing of Severance's whereabouts, beoauso his employers only knew that he belonged to some part of Virginia, and they knew that he was going in that direction to 'assist in?putting up a flouring mill; but as far as the location of said mill was concerned, they never thought to inquire of him. I might make some handle of this fact; but I could place no dependence upon it, because the men who owned tho woolen mill would give such testimony as would satisfy the jury that no suspicion could bo legitimately attached to it. ^CONTINUED TN OUK NEXT.
