- ? ? ' " ?-=-; HoDtoron?. 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. " FISHER & LOWRANCE. COLUMBIA. S. C.
