A bachelor a Ode to Brigham Young. ,
I would I wero a Mormon,
With fcur-and-lwcnty wives,
With twioo a hundred children,
And twioo ten haman lives;
i'd raino mo np a kingdom,
AU of my kith and kin,
And mako a little paradise
For all that dwelt within.
And is it well, obi- Brigham Young,
Or ia lt rightly done,
That you have over forty wives,
Ana I have never one?
And is it well your children count
About five scoro and throe,
And not a single child oan trace
His virtues down to me?
You're but an ordinary man,
Your merits aro but small,
And what a fractional poor part
To each your children fall;
While I perchance on two or three
My genius could bestow.
Ana may thus prove a parent to
A Newton-or a roe.
No sewing buttons on for you,
No rents aro wanting stitches;
Yon have a Bpouee for everything,
One for each pair of breeches;
And then, whon weary day is o'er,
Each evening of your life
You havo a house to visit
And a now and blooming wife.
My love is boundless as thc sea,
As certain to endure,
Enough for four young loving wives
Tm feeling very envoi
Then what a shame, 01 Brigham Young
You've one for every day,
While I in sir gie sad estate
Must mourn my lifo away.
THE LITTLE OLD GENTLEMAN.
CONCLUDED.
"About 6 o'clock, I took up my
hat and went to see somo friends in
the town. When I got back it was
past ll o'clock, and Strange, tho
"housemaid told me, had been in bed
and asleep more* than an boar. I paid
my share of the bill, for I intended
starting early, went up stairs, found
Strange fast asleep, and went to bed
myself. Next morning I was called
at 5, packed my bag, swallowed a
oap of coffee, and in half an hour was
on my way to London. On leaving
the inn, I told the porter that my
companion was asleep, and, as ho was
only going by the 10 o'clock coach to
Brighton, they need not call him yet.
I should not forget to tell you that
while I was dressing in the morning,
?Strange awoke, and that we shook
hands over our disputo of the pre?
vious day. We moreover agreed to
change our plans, and Strange was to
meet me in London on the next day.
As I was closing my carpet-bag, he
asked me to lend him one of my ra?
zors; a thing wbioh I had the greatest
objection to, (for if I am particular
about anything I possess, it is about
my razors,) bnt, having only made
np my difference with him, I could
hardly refuse him BO small a favor.
"The next days I am writing of,
were before railways had extended to
Southampton. Leaving the latter
place at half-past 5 in the morning,
it was half-past 6 in the evening be?
fore I got to town. I went to bed,
got up next day, and while I was sit?
ting at breakfast with my wife, our
servant told me that two gentlemen
wished to speak to me. I went down
to see them, and, before I could
open my month lo ask them what
they wanted, found myself with
handcuffs on, arrested for the murder
of Edward Strange.
"It seems that, finding Strange did
not come down by half-past 9, the
porter went up to call him. He
found the door locked, but no key in
it. After knocking some time on tho
outside, the door was broken open,
and poor Strange was found with his
throat out from ear to ear, and a
razor in his hand. The key of the
door was afterwards found in the
coffee-room uuder the very bench on
which I had eat to drink my cup of
coffee before starting.
"I was brought before the magis?
trate at Bow street tho next morning,
and was by him sent down to South?
ampton, to await the result of the
coroner's inquest upon my partner.
The verdict was wilful murder, and
after commitment by the magistrate
to the sessions, I was pnt on trial for
my life at Winchester.
"The trial lasted only a few hours.
It was fully proved that Strange and
myself had quarreled and had high
Words the night before, and that I
had said I did not care how soon ho
died, so that I could recover the
money I had lent him. A great deal
was made of the fact that by
Strangers death I shonld be entitled
to the insuranco upon his life to the
amount two thousand pounds, by
which I shonld be a clear gainer of
one thousand two hundred.
"It was farther shown that the
razor fonnd in poor Strauge's hand
was mine, and three medical men de?
clared their conviction that, althongh
that instrument ?as undoubtedly
used to kill the dead mon, it mast
have been placed in bis hands after
death. Moreover, there were not
only evident marks of u struggle
abont the bed and bed-clothes, but
Strange's throat was out from right
to left, which no one could do but a
left-handed man, which Strange was
not. Then again, the fact of the
bed-room door being locked, and tho
key hid dose to where I had break?
fasted, told fearfully against me. It
was clear that Strange could not, by
any possibility, have out bia throat
ana then locked the door of bi? room
on the outside. It was attempted by
my counsel to throw discredit upon
this part of tho evidence. The learn?
ed gentleman tried very hard to elicit
_
something which might lead the jory
to imagine that the door had been
locked after the morder, and that
some person unknowingly let tho key
drop in the coffee-room. But it waa
of no avail whatever. It was clearly
proved that the key had been inside
the door when I went to bed, and
that it had never been seen again,
until it was found in the coffee-room.
My defence tried hard to make out
that some person likely to commit
the murder might have been in the
house on that day, but all of no uso.
As tho trial weut on, even I, who
knew my innocence, could not help
allowing myself that the evidence,
though purely circumstantial, was
very strong ogainst me. The only
points in my favor were that, on the
day of the murder I was supposed to
have committed, I traveled up to
London, and had not thc least ap?
pearance of a mau who lind anything
ou his mind.
"Again, Strange was known to
have had on his person a gold watch
nnd a purse containing a few sove?
reigns aud twenty-live pound notes,
the numbers of which later were
ascertained nt the bank of South?
ampton, where he had procured them
in exchange for a bank-post bill.
The watch had been taken, and was
never traced; the sovereigns hnd also
disappeared; but the bank notes had
been exchanged at tho Bank of Eng?
land on tho day of thc murder, and
before I, as I fully proved, had any
communication with any one in Lon?
don. Of this last point ray counsel
made tho most, but it did not help
me much, if anything. The jury re?
tired, and after deliberating about
half an hour, returned into court and
declared, through their foreman, that
I waa guilty of tho wilful murder of
Edward Strange.
"Gentlemen, a mau who has gone
through that ordeal-who has henrd
the jury pronounce him guilty of a
capital crime, and heard tho judge
pass seutcuco of death upon him-a
man, I say, gentlemen, who has gone
through that ordeal and still lives to
tell thc tale, may (or am I presump?
tions?) be looked upon as a man who
has really gone through what, in
these days, would bo called a sensa?
tional time. I heard every word the
foreman said, and found myself won?
dering what the judge's black cap
of which every ono has heard but
few havo seen-would bo like. Then
I was in a kind of dream for a time
until I heard the words condemning
me to be hanged by the neck until I
was dead. A sensational effect upon
me, gentlemen, or I am presumtious.
And will you favor me, Bir, with a
light?
" 'In spite of appearances,' said
this little old gentleman, smoking
with exceeding relish, 'my friends
did not believe mo to be guilty of tho
fearful crime for which I was to be
hanged by the neck until I was dead,
in ten days after the trial. They
moved heaven and earth to obtain a
commutation of my sentence, and,
after a great deal of trouble, they
succeeded. At the time of which I
speak, there was in England a tem?
porary but strong re-action against
capital punishment. I cannot recol?
lect all the circumstances of tho ease,
but in a trial for murder two men
had been condemned to death and
duly executed, and shortly after they
had been hanged by the neck until
they were dead, their supposed vic?
tim made his appearance, well and
hearty. Tho public took up the
question of not hanging upon circum?
stantial evidence, and I benefited to
the extent of my life by the tempo?
rary excitement. I was respited, and
condemned to transportation for life,
and very shortly afterwards-for in
those days transportation was in full
play-fonnd myself on my way out
to Van Dieman's Land, a convict
lifer.'
"For seven long years, gentlemen,
did I nndergo this punishment for a
crime of which I was perfectly inno?
cent. Curiously enough, the mau
who really had murdered poor
Strange, as ho afterwards confessed,
went out in the same ship with me,
condemned to seven years transpor?
tation for burglary. He must have
heard me tell my story and declare
my innocence over aud over again;
for in the colony we worked toge?
ther in the same gang. He was
afterwards assigned to a master who
lived near the prison where I had to
Blave out my time, as in those days
'lifers' whoso sentence had been com?
muted from capital punishment, were
never allowed to leave the chain
gangs. Bnt after three yeors in Van
Dieman's Land, this real murderer
took to his trade of burglary. To
avoid being captured he fled to the
bush, and on a party of police being
sent after the band to which ho be?
longed, he shot a constablo in cold
blood. He was captured, sentenced
to be hanged by the neok until he
was dead, and two days before his
execution, confessed that ho hod
murdered nt Southampton, a person
called Strange, for whiuh another
; person had been seutened to death.
"His statement was taken down,
, and it was exact. It appeared that
he bad been bidden for several honra
? in tbo inn, intending to steal what?
ever be could lay his bauds on.
, Early in the morning, he found his
woy into poor Strunge's room, boping
to pick op something before the
I lioiiHo waa astir? But his entrance
awoko Strange, who straggled for a
? few minutes with him, and he kept
bold of bim. The razor which I had
lent Strange being still lying on the
bed, he murdered his victim with it,
and then put it into S tran go's linn il, in
urdur to make it appear that he bad
committed suicide. He secured the
watch, the purse and the bank-notes
of tho murdered man, and stole out !
of the bou80, looking the door of the
bed-room on the outside, and hiding
the key. He declared that he had
got into Strange's room before I left
the house, and that, for some time
after, his fear was lest I should come
back. Had I dono so, tho murder
would, in all probability, have been
prevented.
"When the .statement made by this
convict had been duly verified, and
when certain references had been
made to tho homo authorities, I was
duly liberated. That is to say, gen?
tleman, I obtained tho royal pardon
for having committed a crime which
I never committed. And very sensi?
ble I am, goutlemcn, of tho roj'al
clemency. Though it seems odd."
"All tickets, gentlcmeu, all tickets
ready. "
The train had reached the ticket
platform at Vauxhall.
"Ah! yes!" said the little old gen?
tleman, producing his; "mine's a re?
turn ticket, but it hud very nearly
been otherwise. "

At the two great Fairs of the Mechanics'
