This small, solitary e omen appeared to be the se only dent. en of this great, lonely noose. Yet this wan really not so, for when an hour ilea passed them was the sound of a key turning in the lock of the street door, followed by the entrance of a man, who fastened the door after hianself, and advau,'ed along the passage into the par- lor, where the little woman stood mit- ting bread at the table. "Weld, Ruth, is dinner ready?" inquir- ed the man, throwing his hat upon a $hin table and sinking into an arutehatr. "No. Robert; the soup will need to simmer half an hour longer." "You've been out?" "Yes. Robert; I've been at the Old Bailey." "Audi what the demon had you to do at the Old Bailey?" asked the titan, los fug somewhat of his habitual good tem- per and courtesy, "1 have been seeing a guiltless man tried for willful murder; I have been hearing an innocent man condemned to die the death of a murderer!" said Ruth, solemnly. "The deuce. The jury were quick about their work! Is he sentenced!" "lie is sentenced to die for a crime of which he is perfectly innocent." "Innocent! innocent! what the foul fiend do you mean by harping upon that word. How the demon do you know that he is innocent?" inquired Thugsen, ang- rily. "By knowing who is guilty," replied Ruth. "How. What the d—I Oh, the we man has lost her wits!" exclaimed Thug - sen, with a light laugh. "No, Robert Thugsen, I have not lost my wits. Would to Heaven that I had. I know what I ant saying! I know that Cassinove is innocent of the crime for which he is condemned to die, by know- ing too well who is guilty," said Ruth, solemnly, "Who the demon, then is guilty?

The cross-examination of the lad only brought out this testimony with Mereaa- ed force, And here closed the examination of 'witnesses for the defence. The senior counsel for the prisoner arose and addressed the jury in a power- ful spceeh, made a review of the es 1 - deuce, strengthened by sound. logic, il- luntined by clear reason, and warmed by burning eloquence. And at the end of an hour the advo- cate sat down amid murmurs of admira- tion. And here rested the defence. There was no rebutting evidence offer- ed. Th Counsel for the Crown said that they were not disposed to question the previous good character of the prisoner in order to prove him capable of commit- ting that crime which it was already abundantly proved that he had commit- ted. They had nothing to do with the prisoner's past life; they took him up from the moment of his perpetration of the felony that had placed him at the bar; and they would only recall the at- tention of tite jury to that indestruct- ible mass of evidence which neither the logic of the learned counsel who had. just preceded him, nor the eloquence of the talented advocate who had opened the defense, had been able to move. There stood the convicting fact as firma as ever —the prisoner discovered in the 'very act of assassination, with the weapon of secret murder in his hand, held arrested in the grasp of the dying man, whose very last words accused, him as his as- sassin. That was the fact proved by more than a dozen eyewitnesses; the fact that could not be explained away by any ingenuity of sophistry, and upon that convincing fact the prosecution would rest its case. And he resumed his seat. Here Laura turned very pale, and dropped her face in her hands; but only for an instant; then, recovering her- self, she looked up in time to meet Cassinove's anxious gaze with a smile of encouragement. The judge rose to charge the jury, He summed up the evidence on both sides, characterizing that of the prosecution as strong and irrefutable testimony, and that of the defence as an affecting ex- pression of feeling and opinion on the part of the 'witnesses, calculated rather to move the sympathies than to con- vince the reason of the jury, whose duty it was to be guided by reason rather thtn sympathy, and to bring in their verdict in accordance with facts rather than opinions. But after hearing and well 'weighing the evidence of both sides of this case, if a single uoubt of the pris- oner's guilt disturbed their judgment, lie enjoined them, in the name of justice and humanity, to give the prisoner the benefit of the doubt. The judge resumed his seat, and the jury, in charge of the deputy sheriff, re- tired to another room, to deliberate upon their verdict. As the door closed upon the last receding figure, a dread silence fell upon the crowded court room, The shadow of the scaffold seemed to lower darkly over the scene. A stifling asmosphere of mortality seemed to fill the room. And the prisoner and his devoted wife? How bore they this hour of breathless, suffocating Suspense? Life—death—in the trembling balance of fate! Life—death! Oh, God! if it should be life—what an infinite deliverance! what an overpowering rapture of joy! But if it should be death? As the long -drawn agony of this hour grew heavier, with every slowly -passing minute, Laura become whiter, colder, and more oppressed; her face seemed marble, her hands ice, her breath gasp- ing; she was upon the verge of swoon- ing. "For the love of God, a glass of wine for my wife, quickly!" exclaimed Csasin- ore, leaning ove rthe dock, and address - an officer of the court. e man kindly hastened away in search of the requires restorative, and rreseatly returned, bringing a glass of brandy and water—there was no wine to bo Dr. C afk placed the glees at the lips of Laura, and forced her to swallow a few drops, after which she gently pushed it sway, saying: "Thank yon, it Is over now; I will not let my courage fail again; no, I will not indeed, Dr. Clark. I will not, dear Cassinove." And she sat up. She needed all her firmness now, for the Mullen low murmur and subdued mo- tion of the crowded court room an- nounced some vent of supreme interest on hand. She looked up,, and her heart paused in its pulsations; her brain reeled, and her sight failed, as she perceived the black group of the jury solemnly re-entering living with a murderer!

I said it at tic com- mencement of my trial; 1 say it now; I shall say it in the hour of death, and on the day of judgment. My lord, I have done." And with a grave inclination of the head, Cassinove resumed his seat. A murmur of admiration. doubt and compassion ran through the crt.wd. But above this arose the voice of the crier: "Let there be silence in the court while sentence of death is pronounced upon the prisoner." And a silence like that of the grave fell upon the breathless assembly. The judge then put on that solemn part of the judioial insignia, that badge of doom, the black velvet cap, and rose from his seat. The prisoner was also di rected to stand up. Cassinove once more arose, and advanced to the front of the dock. The judge addressed him: "Ferdinand Cassinove, after a careful and impartial trial, you have been con- victed by a jury of your peers of the heinous crime of willful murder. It be- comes, therefore, my painful duty to pro- nounce upon you the sentence of the law.

To same the most restful kind of relaxation is to turn from one form of mental or phy- steal activity to another, bringing into play a new set of faculties or muscles.

Pupil Instructed According to Hie Prob- able Future Station in Life, The whole system of education in France takes cognizance of the situation of the individual in a way absolutely unknown to our American system of ed- ucation. There is education for the masses in France, but this is regulated so that a child, boy or girl, is instructed according to big station in life. If thee child has it in him lie may ad- vance to what rank he will, but in the' beginning he is taught such branches of knowledge as best comport with the lino itet.ions of hie lot in life as it actually exists. When necessity compels the French girl receives an education which enables her to be self-supporting—that is, she is taught a trade or profession. She is taught this, however, in relation to the law that if a man will eat he must work, which is made to apply to both sexes alike in France; she does not, therefore, aim to be self-supporting in order to attain the emancipation of her sex from any of the relations and functions which nature imposes upon women; on the contrary, the trades or professions in which she is most often skilled are those which pertain to the household and to the rearing of children, —Harper's Bazaar. 4 1 • Soothing His Last Home.
