Does he ever think when the winds aro cold,
And the hunger causes a ceaseless pain,
And toe storm is heating his garments old,
And etsilling his heart, with its dull refrain;
Does he ask how it IS in many a life
The roses ere always in sweetesb bloom,
While his are the longings, the endless strife,
The days of sorrow, the nights of gloom?

Of waongs that embittered, cif wounds thatbled,

HANDCOCK IS FREE.
The Airy Declares Him inneeent of His
Daughter's Itturder,
ME JUDGE'S 'FAVORABLE ODABGD.
The Handcock case was resumed yester-
day morning at Toronto.
Lizzie Hendee& is a daughter of the
prisoaer. She testified that Sophy kept her
money in a purse, which Was not foundafter
the accident ilie aleo said that Sophy
wee accustomed to carry this puree in her
pekoe. Questioned regarding the creditors',
Lizzie testified that they had never pressed
tor their claims. Lizziees recital of the eon-
versation between her and her father tallied
frith what has been already fetid by former
witneseee. Her evidence was not shaken in
the least by cross-examination.
Mrs. George Emboden, another daughter
of the prisoner, was the next witness. She
testified that she had arrived at her father's
house after ten o'clock on the day of the
death of Sophy. She denied the assertion
that there had been dirt soattered over one
of the pools of blood. She testified that her
father never had a gun or pistol, and that he
was always affectionate to Sophy.
nee Pram Am:rune= non. a
Thomas Handcook, second eldest son,
next testified. Ile corroborated. the testi-
mony of the former witnesses,. He mid he
took a,pistol there on Monday, after the
accident, and that is the one Detective
Greer found, He took the revolver there to
guard the premises.
Henry Handcock, another son, went over
the Rune ground as the others had done.
'Wm. Wilcox testified to hie hayingsecured
Dr. Harrington to attend, to Sophy, and thee
he loaned his brother-in-law the revolver he
used while guarding the house.
Mrs. Henry Handcock and Miss Polly
Hendee* also testified in favor of the
defence.
Philip Handeock, a brother of the de-
ceased, said she had a purse, which aho used
to carry. The feeling between his father
and Sophy was very good. Did not notice
any sand or mud on the blood.
Rev. Mr. :Milner, a minister of the 'troth-
odist Church, had -known the family for
about seven, years. Koew the Handeock
family well. The old mail was sincere, with
a sensitive temper. He coult1 not keep a
secret. He knew the deceased girl. Hand-
cock looked upon her as a favorite daugh-
ter.
Ala. J. Bailey had known the Handcock
family for seventeen or eighteen years. The
old man's character was good as far as he
'knew. Hie disposition toward the deceased
was affectionate.

derson, DCSES Watson, Owen Nicholls, Mrs.
Jane Stott, John Aylett, James Dobson,

ter, and the amicable reletions between him
and the deceased.
EVIDENCE IN REBUTTAL.
Dr. McFarlane, called by the Crown in
rebuttal, said he had examined the skull,
end he did net think it possible that a bul-
let could have made the wound. The wouud
was produced by a hard, solid substance, as
if something, swung from the hand with a
handle, had crashed down 011 the skulL
His Lordship—I understand the Crown
does not consider it inaterial how the blow
was struck.
To Mr. Murdoch witness maid he &Mid
not account for the particles of lead found
in the wound.
Dr. Adam Wright did, not, think tbe
wound could have been caused by a pistol
shot. The fracture could only have been
done by an instrument of weight, evidently
swung in the hand.
This finished the evidence.
Mr. Murdoch renewed his application
that the case be not allowed to go to the
jury, but the judge ruled otherwise.
THE JUDGE'S CHARGE.
.After addresses of counsel the judge
delivered his charge. Tho following are the
salient points to which he directed
their careful and earnest considera-
tion At the outset he told them
that the evidence in the case was purely
circumstantial and it was a very difficult
one. They must find that the facts were
consistent with the guilt of the prisoner
and inconsistent with any other theory.
There was no question that the girl was
murdered, but the simple question was,
Who did it? It would be danger-
ous to conclude that the stories
told by the prisoner differed, as it
must be borne in mind, that the repetition
of those to whom he spoke might be faulty.
They must be satisfied with some theory
in order to convict the prisoner.
The evidence as to the finding of
lead had been incontrovertible by
witnesses for the Crown. It was almost ab.
surd to suppose that if the wound had been
inflicted by a leaden instrument it would
have loft the same lead impacted in the
skull. It looked like a bullet, and it would
be unsafe, it would be dangerous to convict
the prisoner unless they could reconcile the
not with the father's guilt.. "Thiess you can
find that the wound was inflicted by &pistol
in the hands of the prisoner, said his Lord-
ship, you should not find him guilty. That
theory, of course, does away with the
prisoner's momentary passion. If he • shot
her it must have been a wilful and pre-
meditated murder. If he did the shooting
he must have provided himself with a pie-
tol, which he never before was known to
have, and gone at it coolly and deliberately,
when everybody was away. Now stop
there. Is it reasonable that he would
have acted as he has acted had such been
the case? He must have felt assured that
the bullet would be found in the girl's head.
But in the face of that he goes and tells the
first one he meets that he was alone with
the girl in the house. It seems reasonable
to me that if the prisoner was guilty of
shooting the girl he would have endeavored
to ehift the crime Ma to some person else.
Manslaughter would, of course be 'noon-
eistent with the idea that Ilandcock shot
her.
TNE JURY ktIcELY DEMD1Ss.
His Lordship having concluded, Mr. Mur-
doch rose and requested Min to direct the
attention of the jury to the missing purse,
which he did. The jury then retired, it
being 5.15 o'clock.
At 6.33 they returned,, and on being asked
as to their conclusion; the foreman said
they had decided that the primmer was not
guilty. There was a flutter of excitement
all over the court room. Mr. Tytler, on
behalf of the prisoner, asked for Heed -
cock's discharge, which was immediately
ordered by His Lordship. The prisoner
stood up, and, in a tremulous voice, said:
Thank: you, my lord."
The man who had been resting under the
terrible accusation for so Many monthe
stepped out int freedom again, put on his
overcoat, and made a rush for his Wife and
family. They were all in tears, from the
mother to little Dannie, and the joy they
felt and which was given expression to in
weeping, touched the Onlookers;

infineitIFFS IN SESSION,
'Whey Meet in Toronto and Found a Per.
Mattefit Organteation.
The sheriffs of Ontario held their annuel
pow -wow yesterday at the Pahnor House,
Toronto. The folio:min were present
Sheriffs McKellar, Wentworth ; Watt,
13rant ; Springer, Waterloo ; McLennan,
Victoria ; Glees Middlesex ; Brady, Ox-
ford ; Welland, ; Bowles, Dufferin ;

Mowat, Toronto ; Pruyn, Lennox and Ad•
(lintel* ; Gillespie, Widclifield, York;
,Hoesie, Perth ; Clement, Halton ; Dawn%
Lincoln ; Davis, Haidimmid.
(inc of the chief subjects discussed was
the desirability of having greater uniformity
in the tariff of sheriff's tees. The idea that
prevailed was not that any difference should
be ,made to the public or litigants, but that
reihunera,tion should be made for certain
services for which the law at present makes
uo provision. Sheriff McKellar proposed
that fees for all services should be funded
and ehei Ufa paid by Wary according to
work done. This did not meet the general
view and no action was taken.
An evening eession was held at which it
was decided to hold an annual meeting in
Toronto on the third Thursday in January.
Officers were elected as follows : President,
Pheriff Glass, Middlesex ; Vice -President,
Sheriff Dawson, London; Secretary -Treas-
urer, Sheriff Deans, Haldimand '• Executive
Oommittee—Sheriffs Proctor, HossieeWatt
and Broddy. The annual fee was placed at
$2. • •
Mr. John Winchester, Provincial Inepeo-
tor of Legal Offices, attended and gave au
address on the duties of a sheriff, the meet-
ing expressing pleasure at his presence by
adopting a cordial vote of thanks.
The meeting adjourned at 11 o'clock, well
satisfied, with the result of their conference.

"John," said a lawyer in one of the big
buildings down town one day, "run into
Mr. Joues' office and tell him I'd like to see
him for a minute or two."
"Yes, sir," answered John.
Mr. Jones' office adjoined that of the law-
yer. Indeed, Mr. Jones' desk and that of
tbe lawyer's were within ten feet of each
other, aid if the wall that separated them
hadn't been so thick, ,and if the lawyer
hadn't been so dignified, he might, himself,
by shouting, have informed Ma Jones that
he wanted to see him.
Now, it wouldn't have taken John more
than a quarter of 4 minnte to go to Ma
Jones' office and the journey would nob have
fatigued him. But the office telephone was
still nearer.So John called up and had
the central give him Mr, Jones' office, and
whoa he got Mr. Jones' office Mr. Jones
happened to answer the call, and John told
Mr. Jones that Mr. Robinson, the lawyer,
wished to see am.
41 What Ir. Robinson ?" asked My.
Jones:
t"ehe next door Mr. Robinson," answered
John. -
`4 Oh," said Mr. Jones ; "all right."
He went into Mr. Robinson s office.
" That's a, very lazy boy of yours, Robin-
son," he said.
" No, he isn't," said the lawyer.
"Yes, he is,"' said Mr. Bones.
"Why do you say so ?" asked the lawyer.
"enthuse,' answered Mr. Tones, "when
yon told him you wanted to see me he
called me up by telephone instead of walk-
ing thirty steps to my office.
" That i.en't laziness," said the lawyer,
"it's genius. I'll raise John's salary."—

Buffalo Naive : They fought. It was near
the edge of a precipice where they meta
and the deadly hate of ages flamed forth;
a hate which nothing but blood could
satisfy. Little they reeked of the beetling
cliff which overhung the jagged rocks that
lashed the waters of the lever below into
foam. Rage blinded them to everything
but their racial antipathy. Rifehing toward
each other they rained cruel blows on each
other's bodies. Then came the final deadly
embrace and the struggle for advantage.
Li hie by little they neared the edge of the
precipice. ,Fiercely and more deadly. they
struggled on. Inch by inch they nearedthe
yawning chasm over which no mortal could
plunge and live. Will not the mad strife
cease ? Nay, it grows more recklessly

Mrs. Wm. H. Vanderbilt and her son
Cornelius are. both widely knownas wise
and generous dispensers of charity. They
have recently given to their parish, St.
Bartholomew's, in New York, the fanot and
most perfectly equipped building in the
world for honse missionary and charitable
work. The cost is $500,000, and it occupies
a most useful location upon Forty-second
street, east of Third avenue. It is a superb
building of five stories, with mezzannues
which give space for gymnasiums and in-
dustrial training schools. The plan includes
all the requirements of a mission church,
school, club house, industrial class roma
and exhibition hulls, a spacious restaurant,
bath rooms, gymnausium and recreation
rooms. The property has been given entire
to the parish, who will maintain it to the
extent that it is not self-supporting. It is
O great gift to the hard-working poor, and

Early Se.otch Church Discipline.
In 1648 the session of Galatea unanimously
concluded end ordained that two of the
Town Elders should " molt of them, night
about, go visit the tonne and Gatesbye on
the Sabbath nights about seven hours, and
see that none be iu toune except the inhabi-
tants thereof." At every tair or race there
were Elders told off to perambulate the
market place or the race course, as the case
might be, and report every, immorality thee,
saw or heard. Not a wedding or a merry-
making could be held without ecclesiastical
detectives being sent to engniTe into all that
happened thereat, and inform the kirk ses-
sion of the numbers present add the nature
of the entertainment. .And any remissness
on the part of the Elders in discovering and
detailing immoralities was not only censured
by Presbyteries'but complained of by the
'
people.— The Discipline of the Church,"

further issue of handbills relating to the
god Kristina among the natives. The chair,
on this occasion, was taken by Mr. Dhondu
Shatnra,o Geiud, who said that handbills
containing a gross libel on their great
Hindoo god had been eirealated by the
Bible Tract Society. A great slur was east
on their god Krishna, and it was high time
to take steps to nip in the bud each mis-
representation, whialr greatly wounded the
religious feelings of the Iliniloos. He was
quite astonished on reading the contents
of the handbills. He advised them to
memorialize Goyerement, praying that the
missiona,riee should be stopped trona inter-
fering in their religious matters and defam-
ing their gods. Mr. Narayan Rowjeebtioy
said he was deeply grieved at the conduct
of the missionaries who had circulated the
handbills. It was a gross outrage on the
god Krishna, whom they held in thehigbest
esteeni and reverence. They should take
steps to prevent the libellers from desecrat-
ing their god in such a way. Since the
Queen's proclamation of 1858 leroteeted
their religious freedom, no one had a right
to interfere with their religion. After sev-
eral gentlemen had expressed their eopinion
in favor of organizing a strong protest
against the conduct of the missionaries, it
was unanimously resolved to ask the
maharajas to convene a monster meeting to
take steps in this matter, and to memorial-
ize the Government, praying fee redress.—

But I am glad to say that soon after I
began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I saw

A DIECHANICAL GAMOW.
Dr. Graves, the Whiskey Poisoner, 'W*11
be His Own Hangman.
A Canon City despatch says : Dr. Graves
will be hanged by a machine which has no
duplicate in the world. It is so fixed that
he will hang himself. The execution chant-
ber is a small room with a ten -foot ceiling.
A noose is suspended over a pulley in the
centre. • The other end of the rope paves
along other pulleys to' a rear chamber and is
there attached to a 500 -pound iron weigbt.
• This weight is on a shelf that is held in
place by a lever, on the end of which is
receptacle holding fifty-six pounds of water.
In the bottom of this water vessel is a stop-
per attached to a chain, which is in turn
attached to the under side of a door that
rests on springs under the noose. When
the criminal steps on the door, the noose is
adjusted, the chain is pulled by the spring
door, the water is let out of the vessel, the
lever springs the 500 -pound 'weight, and the
'doomed man is yanked to the ceiling in a
jiffy, his neck being broken en route.• '
Meard the Roar at 88. Kitts.
One summer afternoon the writer was
driving from St. Catharine's to Thorela
with a resident of the vicinity, and, Niagara
being alluded to, he mentioned his disap-
pointment with the roar of the Fells.
" Why," said the resident, "you are mis-
taken on that point. It can be heard very
plainly here, though it is a good ten miles
away." Upon this he stopped the horses,
noel at once, from the left hand, came a,
heavy sound, that grew upon the ear till it
was really awesome with its suggestions of
immeasurable force and etereal duration.
"Well,"asked the resident, what do you
think of it now?" The writerinetantly took
back all that he said or thought in diaper.
agement of the voice of the Falls. There
was no room for contempt with that muffled
roar coming through ten miles of throbbing
air to prove its treinendoes thrapass. lia
the Indians of the trackless forest been
there, it would beveled them to the catar-
act in a bee lite. Why, then, was it nob
heard at Suspension Bridge or the Falls
village? The explanation is very easy. The
nearer noises covered the Bound. Slight by
comparison as they were, they blocked the
path to the ear. Hold a finger close te

and it is a million times bigger than the
