THh HURON SIGNAL, FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1882.
Nosed to /M Dock.
There were twentyseve¢ persons
charged with various o�eoa 1 before his
Honor that morning. It was only 18
months ago.
One of the accused was s young girl
of about seventeen, who was weeping
very bitterly. The usual crowd of hang-
ers-on at the police court was leering at
the unfortunate tramp, the irreclaimable
drunkard, the foreheadless petty lar.
monist and the burly burglar.
But there was something in this young
girl's sobs, in this sorrow of the fair.
haired maiden who had passed the night
is the same cell a ith drunken prosti-
tutes, female dive -thieves and women
of the worst class, that was heartbreak-
ing.
Even the bailiff of the court—ac:us-
turned to criminal misery and inured to
to scenes of suffering frem the suicide of
a wanton to the execution of a murderer,
and his parting with his mother and sis-
ters—even the bailiff felt touched, and
walking up to the railing, whispered
some kind wcrd in her ear.
And next to her sat a younz
as death. The humiliation of
aliment is over, help one to go BMW
where where I can get work—a Iway
off, where my story is not know and,
as I live, I will repay your kindne ten -
tole. And there is • young girl," he
continued, "charged with stealing some
lace, up -stairs. Will you see to her 1 I
am sure she is innocent, and in the d ,ok
she forgot all her troubles for a moment
to ask me never to be bad again. It was
that, Mr. Belden, which made me give
up so quickly."
The parting was a very sad one, but
the inevitable had to come, and Hugh
Murray was for six months to come only
"No. 143," in the western corridor.
A few days after he had been in pri-
son, he received a trunk full of new
clothing from his late employer, stone
luxuries in the way of food, etc., that
were specially permitted by the warden,
and the following letter:
"My DLII Heu11,—Please accept the
accompanying little gifts from one, and
keep up a good heart. I scud you some
useful books with which to employ your
time. Yuur friend, who was in such
trouble, was perfectly innocent, and was
discharged, her arrest having been a con-
spiracy; and she is now head saleswoman
of the house where she was accused of
theft. I called and told her yesterday
how bitterly yoe suffered from her sym-
pathy, and the noble girl bunt into
tears, and bade me tell you to be of good
courage and never be bad again."
And a year after this there was a
quiet little wedding in Toronto, Canada,
and the bridegroom was a successful
young jeweller just started in business,
and president of one of the local total
abstinence societies, while the bride's
name was Isabel Daly. And as he held
her to his heart after the ceremony, he
whispered, "Darling, do you remember
that you were wooed in a prison ?"
The one strange thing about the wed-
ding was, however, that when they got
to their new little home there was a let-
ter addressel to Mr. and Mrs. Murray,
and it had a smudge on it. just like as if
an'old-fashioned salt tear had fallen on
it, and all that was inside of it was a
check for $1000, signed by Everett Bel-
den
man, tale
his posi-
tion stood out in bold relief in his atti-
tude and in every feature of his face, in
the nervous clutch of his hands, in the
shifting of his feet, the disarranged hair,
and the silently expressed suffering.
The judge was late that morning, and
kept the prisoners waiting.
"Don't cry," the young man was say-
' ing to the girl who sat next to him. "I
am sure you have done nothing wrong.
I would pledge my life that you have
not. Tell me your troubles and I will
tell you mine. I have been with a whole-
sale jeweller for two years, and I got in-
to bad company, took some gold I was
to work u,) into a bracelet, and sold it.
I first accused some one of having stolen
it, but last night I confessed. They had
me arrested, and I shall plead guilty and
take my punishment."
The girl turned her head quickly, and
between her sobs said:
"But I—I have done nothing wrung;
only one of the girls at the store where
I worked put some lace in my pocket be-
cause—because she is jealous of one, and
then they found it there. and --oh, my
hest la breaking!"
"Hugh Murray, accused of robbing
his employer, what have you to say 1"
"Guilty."
his face was whiter than eve$, but his
mouth was firm and resolute; and after
he had said the work that made him a
convict, he faced the magistrate and
said :
"Your honor, I have said guilty, be-
cause I should be a liar if I said any-
thing else; but, your honor, I have this
to add to my plea: I never drank wine
in my life until last Friday night, and I
was utterly under its influence when I

Mr. Donald Clarke, of the 2d con. of
Huron, has purchaasd the celebrated im-
ppoerted heavy draught stallion "Samisen,"
from Mr. Iai nbert,uf Ripley, for $1,000.
PAINFUL OPgLTION. —On Sunday last
Drs. Stewart, of Brucefield, Mackid and
Tennant, of this village, performed a
very suocessful a ,e»tion in a ycutyp
man named Win. Dempsy, of Holyruod,
who was troubled fur • number of .ears
past with sciatic. The doctor's an
incision in the thigh and stretch ma a the
nerve. The patient is at present under
the treatment of lir. Mackid, and is
progressing favorably.
The Sepoy Lacrosse Club held their
first meeting this season on Monday,
27th ult., in Whitely a hotel, to reor-
ganize tar the season, when the follow-
ing officers were elected: President. D.
E. Cameron; Vice -President, R. Kerr;
Captain, D. O. Cameron; Secretary, J.
Murchison; Managing Committee, A. S.
Campbell, K. McPherson, Frank Itook-
ledge, A. Smith, and F. McPherson.
The meeting adjourned to meet again at
the call of the Secretary. Lucknow' is
determined to keep Our National Game
alive.
On Saturday afternoon last it man
named Quinn went into the sturebelong-
inng to Mr. Geo. Kerr, and asked to be
shown some cloth, which was according-
ly done. Quinn examined the goods
and seemed perfectly satisfied that the
piece shown him was the thing he want-
ed, but on learning the price he became
very abusive and began cursing and
swearing that he could get it so much
cheaper at other stores. Mr. Kerr told
him if the prices did not suit him he was
not compelled to "take them, but that he
(Quinn) must stop swearing or he would
have to leave the store. This Quinn re-
fused to do, and in the • scuffle that en-
sued Mr. Kerr was pushed threulgh nue
of the show windows, after which he
struck Quinn under the right eye with
his fiat, completely closing that optic
and forcibly ejected him trout thd'pre-
mime. Quinn was afterwards cited to
appear before the Magistrate for using
abusive language towards Mr. Kerr, but
the matter was settled out of court,
Quinn paying all costs.—[Sentinel.
There appears to be many different
ways of understanding the true meaning
of newspaper patronage, as it is called,
and as an interested party, we give place
to a disquisition on the subject by ons
who knows whereof he speaks. It will,
perhaps, serve as a mirror wherein cer-
tain persons can see themselves as others
see them.
Many lung and weary years have forced
the conviction upon us that newspaper
patronage is a word of many definitions,
and that the kreat majority of mankind
are either ignorant of the correct defin-
ition er are dishonest in the strici bibli-
cal sense of the word. Newspaper pat-
ronage is composed of as many colors as
the rainbow, and it is as changeable as a
chameleon.
One roan comes in and subscribes fur
• paper and pays for it in advance, and
goes home and reads it with the proud
satisfaction that it is his. He hands in
an advertisement, asks the price, pays
for it, and goes to his place of business
and reaps the advantage thereof. An-
other man says you may put it on your
books, and goes off without saying a
word about pay. Times passes on, you
want money, and want him to pay you
what is honestly due you. He flies into
a passion, perhaps pays, perhaps not
and orders his paper stopped. This is
called newspaper patr )nage.
Another man lives near you, lie does
not take the paper.—he don't like the
editor—the paper is too small fur him—
yet he goes regularly to his neighbor's
and reads it, and quarrels with the
opinions of the editor. Occasionally he
Imes an article he likes and he begs or
gives a few cents for the number. This
is called newspaper patronage.
Another man takes two or three pa-
pers and cannot afford to take a home
paper, but he likes it and comes into the
office and begs one whenever he comes
to town. This is called newspaper pat-
ronage.
Another man likes the paper and
takes a copy for his family, and pays for
it, and does all he can to get new sub-
scribers; he never grumbles, but always
has a cheerful word for the editor. If
any little item of interest occurs in the
neighborhood he informs the editor.
This is newspaper patronage.
Another man has a patent and wants
two dollar notice inserted every week. It
will be of interest to your leaders, he
says; but although knowing it will bene -
ht himself most of all, he does not offer
to pay for it. This is called newspaper
patronage.
Another man has taken the paper for
several years, but has not paid for it,
and comes in with a four or five dollar
advertisement and asks you to insert it
for nothing, because he is an old patron
of yours. This is called newspaper pat-
ronage.
Another man—"a young man about
town," no use taking a paper, he knows
all that's going on. By and by he gets
married, and hands in a notice with
"just give me a dozen copies." He gets
them, and when you mention pay he
looks surprised: "you surely don't
charge for such a thing !" And this is
called newspaper patronage.
Now, isn't newspaper patronage a very
curious thing 1 And in that day when
the gentleman in black gets his dues, as
he surely will, how many of the patrons
enumerated above will fall to his share?
Now it will tie seen that while certain
kinds of patronage are the very life and
existence of a newspaper, there are other
kinds of patronage that are more de-
structive than the deadly night -shade.

The well known Celtic scholar, Sher-

to the Queen street hall, Edinburgh, one
evening lately, spite of the inclement
weather, a large audience connected with
the Philosophical 'institute, to whom he
delivered the first of two lectures on the
history and character of the Scottish
Highlanders. The territory of the High-
lands, he acid, with all the westernlsles,
constituted by far the larger and most
picturesque, as also the wilder and least
profitable part of Scotland. The Gaels
were distinguished especjally by having
a language of their nwn, by manners and

big business now in the sale of St. Ja-

although his sales were large at first,
they have doubled lately.
Another said that so popular has the
Oil become that he could hardly keep
the supply up. Not one to whom we
have spoken but gave it a- high recom-

not be such a demand for it.
