POETRY. 4ft SABBATH bimVG. BY GEORGE D. RRESTICK. Tis holy time. The eyeuing ehade, Steals with a soft control, O’er nature, as a thought from heaven Steals o’er the human soul; And every ray from yonder blue, And every drop of falling dew, Seoul to bring down do human woes, From heaven, in message of repose. O'er yon tall rock the solemn trees, A shadowy group incline, Like gentle nuns in sorrow bowed Around their holy shrine; And o’er them now the night-winds blow So calm and still, the music low, Scorns the mysterious voice of Prayer •Soft-echoed on the evening air. The mists, like incense from the earth, Ris@to a God beloved; And o’er the waters move as erst The Holy Spirit moved; The torrent’s voice,the wave’s low hymn, Seem the far notes of seraphim, And all earth's thousand voices raise Their song of worship, love and praise. The gentle sisterhood of flowers, Bend low their lovely eyes. Or gaze through trembling tears of dew Up to the holy skies; And the pure stars come out a!>ove Like sweet and blessed things of love, * Bright signals in the eternal dome To guide the parted spirit home. There is a spell of blessedness, In air, and earth, and heaven. And natnre wears the blessed look Of a young saint, forgiven; Oli, who, at such au hour of love, Can gaz.e on all around, above. And not kneel down upon the sod With Nature’s self, to worship God. “Give mo a kiss, my charming Nall,” A lover said to a blue-eyed gal; “ 1 won’t,” said she, “ you lazy elf, Screw up your mouth and help yourself.’ MiSCTLLANjgOTfS. A HOliKY JURY: OH, THE DOUBTFUL CASH OF DAVID DU BIOUS. “ Rogues must hang that Jurymen may Aine.”—Pope. The public have doubtless heard of the fate of poor David Dubious, whose ease was decided by a hungry jury.— Hut it may not he uninteresting to some of our jreaders to state a few of the particular circumstances attending that decision. It was a case of life and death, hut one doubtful and difficult to decide. The evidence was entirely circumstan tial, and in many respects, contradic tory. The prisoner, unfortunately, bore a very had character, and many people did not hesitate to say that, “ if j " K ‘ i,n he had not committed murder, he was none too good to do it.” Hut what made hi* condition still more unfortu nate, was tlio condition of the stom achs of the jury. They had been kept out all night, and it was now near the hour of dining! Consider, then, the perilous condi tion of this poor prisoner, his life de pending on such untoward circum stances" presumptive evidence, a doubt ful character, a hungry jury. He might have got over the two first, but wo to him whose life depends on the last.— V comfortably filled stomach is one of the gest guaranties for acts of justice, kindness, and charity. Trust a hun- mv jury with one’s life! Never! Hun- fttr renders a man savage, and he who has a stomach to let, has' seldom any bowels of compassion. In the case of David Dubious, seven of the jurywere for hanging, and five for acquittal. Thus they had been for some time, without any prospect of Both sides were con- both felt bound in honesty, and by their oath, to adhere to what ever they considered to be the true state of the ease. Said those in favor of hanging: “ The man is very evidently guilty, and we could answ er neither to God our country, should we consent for their inability to think alike, and per- ♦niptorily sent them back, declaring, with an awful shake of his wig, that they should neither eat nor drink until aka’ the case of the prisoner was decided, tifeti “ Alas!” said one, “ we must cither agree on a verdict or agree to starve.” “ The latter we can never agree to,” said another; “ self preservation is the first law of nature. What time is it, neighbor I” “ It wants half an hour of dinner time.” “Only half an hour! We have but little time to spare. We must agree before dinner time, by some means or other. Its almost twenty-four hours since we have eaten a morsel, and to miss another meal would be absolute suicide.” Those who are in favor of hanging, are usually more fixed in their opin- ions than those on the other side— thus exactly reversing the only charita ble maxim of criminal jurisprudence, done. Oh my stomach! to wit: That “it is better twenty guil- , he hung.” ty persons should escape, than that an innocent one should suffer. This was most unfortunately true, in the case of poor David Dubious. “ It would be a thousand pities,” said one, “ to hang an innocent man.” “ That is very true,” replied one of the opposite side; “ but then you know it is better that twenty innocent liorsons should he hung, than that one guilty one should esca|*e; so the max im says.” j “ Why, as to the maxim,” says Jon athan Standout, “ there may be some thing in that But still I have been hitherto in favor of the acquittal of |M>or David, because I hail by doubts about his being guilty. Howsomever all manner of doubts must yield to cir cumstances. So far as I can see, the evidence is bv no means clear of the We are all agreed now, except one, and I tliink he’ll come over in time to dine., What say you, friend Avery, ifVe hang the prisoner and go to tier, or no I” Why, indeed, gentlemen, I really don’t know what to say. I see no satisfactory proof of the man’s being guilty. Its a hard case, a confounded hard. Our dinner must be nearly rea dy ; and something ought to be deter mined on soon. Really, gentlemen, I think you had better agree to acquit him.” “ Oh, we can’t do that, positively,” said another of the original seven. “ A majority of us have been in favor of hanging from the first; and now all have come over except you; eleven against one. “ It wants but ten minutes of the dinner hour,” said Obadiah Lanklev. “Only ten minutes!” exclaimed Ich- abod. “I’ve done, gentlemen, I’ve - ■ 1 11 ' — — Heaven.born charity, like the the pure sunshine gladdens, enlivens and erhers the soul of man.

I acknowledge the prisoner to be of little or no value to the community, and as likely to he guilty of murder as the best of us.— Hut then, we are hound to decide ac cording to evidence.” “ And what,” said Obadiah Lanklev, “ is to f l»ecotne of our stomachs in the time?

But to go the length of starving on his ac count, I couldn’t possibly think of it.” “ But have you no mercy, no bowels of compassion I” said Ichabod Avery. “Bowels of compassion!” exclaim ed Obadiah lamkley, pressing his hands sadly upon the gastric region—“how can a man have bow els of compassion w hen there isn’t a morsel of any thing in his stomach ?

As to the prisoner, I’d stick to him till all is blue, if I wasn’t so infernal hungry. But I am not bound to commit murder on my own stomach. Wherefore, gentle men, much as I regret taking an inno cent man’s life, I must in this place agree to a verdict of guilty.” “ Well, well,” said Joseph Judg ment, looking at his watch, “ it is a hard case—a monstrous hard ease, it wants but a quarter of dinner time— and our landlord informed me he should cook those fine canvass backs. The prisoner, as far as 1 can understand the evidence, is as likely to be,t cent%s guilty; I dont know w think, indeed. One thing is certain, however—I must have some dinner— I tan't think of starving—my con. science won’t let me. Gentlemen, I’ll ree to anything that’s reasonable.” which she was careful low. Suspicion vanished and so did the ale, emetic and all down the throat of the satisfied husband. After spitting out the taste, the lady finished her glass, but seemed in no hurry to retire. She fixed a foot-tub of water before an easy chair as if she intended to bathe her beautiful little feet. But small as were those feet, there was not water enough to cover them. The husband began to feci ami he wanted to retire. “Wait only a few minutes, dear said his loving sponse; “I want to read the news in this afternoon’s Delta. I found it in your pocket.” A few minutes more elapsed, and then—and then, oh ye gods and Dan o’ the lake, what a time! The husband was placed in the easy chair. He be gan to understand why the tub was there ; he soon learned what ailed him. Suffice it to say that when he arose from that chair, the lllek had left his hat.
