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.
