Now 'aunt Rebecca, in nodding false curls; lace coiffure, and eighteen year-old style of dress, was a very different sort of lank figure, and the latter was by no means the most prepassessing of the | two.

Driskive Ivvore Water.--Sct a pitcher of water in an jnhabited room, sorbed from the room nearly all the respired and perspired gasses of the room, the air of which will have be- come purer, but the water utterly fifthy, This depends on the fact that the water has the faculty of conden- sing and absorbing all gasses, whiclf it does without increasing its own bulk, The colder the water is, the greater its capacity to contain these gasses. At ordinary temperature, a pint of water will contain a pint of Carbonis acid gas, and several pints of amuonia, This capacity is ncar- ly doubled by reducing the tempera- ture to that of ice. ence water kept in a room awhile is always un-- fit for use, and should be often re- newed, whether it has become warm, ornot. Aud for the same reason, the water in a pumpstock should be pumped ont in the moriiiug before any is used. That which has stood u the pitcher all night is aofit for codee water in the morning. Impure water is more injurious to the health than impure air, and every. person should provide the means of fresh, pure water for the domestic uses. Experience of a Barrister.

And pray Mrs. Tucker, werd you ever 'in trouble' in Loudon for robbing your lodg- ings? I thought she attempted to answer, but no soand escaped her lips. One of the ushers of the court handed her a glass of water at my suggestion, and she seemed to recbver somewhat, I pressed my question; and at last she in the same low, agitated voice, * Yes, I have been, 'ITkunow you have, Mr, Thorn- dyke, 1 believe, was your bail on that occasion, aod the matter was, understand, compromised --arranged --ut ull events the matter was not pressed.

There appeared to be in- decision or hesitation in their deliber- ations ; but at last Mr. P rose, and with sume osteutation of manner addressed the court, In discharge of my duty to the defendant in this action, my lord, upon whose fair fame much undeserv- ed obloquy has' been cast by the speeches of the plaintifi's connsel-- speeches unsupported by a shadow of evidence--I have to state that, anxious above all things to stand perfectly justified before his neigh- bors and society, he has, at great trouble and expeuse, obtained the presence here to-day of the witness Elizabeth Wareing., 8he had gone to veside in ¥rance with a respect- able English family in the situation ot housekeeper. We shall now place ber in the witness box, and having done 80, I trust we shall bear no more of the slanderous imputa- tions 80 freely lavished upon my client. Call Elizabeth Warcing into court.' A moment of surprise and curiosity agitated the entire auditory at this annonncement. Mr. Silas Thorn- dyke's naturally cadaverous coun-- tenance assumed an ashy hue, spite of Lis efforts to appear easy and jubilant; and for the first tine since the commencement of the proceed ings I entertained the hope of a suc: cessfal issue. + Mrs. Wareing appeared in answer to thé cull, and was duly sworn ' to tell the trath, the whole truth, and nothing bat the truth? She was a good-looking woman, of perhaps forty years of age, and bore a strik- ing resemblance to her son. She rapidly, smoothly, and unhesitatinaly confirmed the cvidence gflcadly to a title. She trembled, T observed, excessively; and on examining coun eel intimating that he had no more questions to 'ask, turned hastily to leave the box. J * Stay--stay my good woman,' I exclaimed, 'you and I must have some talk fogether before "we part. She started, and looked at me with frighteced earnestness; aud then her nervous glances stole towards Mr. Silas Thorndyke. Thera 'was no comfort there ; in his countenance 'she only saw the rbflex of the agita- tion aud anxiety which cmarked her own. Sleek Silas, I could sce, al- veady repented of the rash move he bad made, and wou!d have given u good deal to-get his witness safely 'and quietly out of court.

The profoundest silence reigned in the court as I reiterated the ques- tion. * Yon must answer, woman,' said the judge sternly, 'unless you know your answer will criminate your- self? : The witness looked wildly round the court as if in search of counsel or sympathy ; but encountering none but frowning and cager fuces-- Thorndyke she could not disceru™in the darkness--she became giddy and panic-stricken, and' scemed to lose ail presence of mind. * He--he--he," she at last gasped, 'he mixed it.

A movement among the bystanders at this moment attracted the notice of the judge, and be immediately ex- claimed. * The defendant 1ust not leave the court I' An officer placed limself beside the wretched murderer as well as forger, and I resnmed the cross-exambination of the witness, ' Now, Mrs. Tucker, please to look at this fetter.

Now, woman inswer. Was it your son-- this young man who, you perceive if guilty cannot escape from justice-- was it he who forged the names of the deceased Mrs. Thorndyke, and of John Cummins attached to it ? ' Not he--not he !, shrieked the wretched woman, 'It was Thorn- eke torn dyke bimself? And then with a sudden revulsion of feel ing, as the consequences of what she had uttered flasbed upon her she exclaimed, ¢ Ob, Silus, what have I said 7--what have I done ' Tanged we, that's all, you accurs- ed devil! replied Thorndyke with gloumy ferocity. 'Bat 1 deserve it for trusting to such an idiot: dolt aud fool that Twas for Jdoing so. The woman sank down in strong convulsions, and was, by direction of the judge, carried out of the hall. . The anxious silence which preva- ded the conrt during this scene, in which the reader will observe I play- ed a bold, tentative, and happily. successful game, was broken as the witness was borne off, by a loud murmur of indignation, followed by congratulatory exclamations on the fortunate termination 'of the suit. The defendant's counsel threw up their briefs, and a verdict was at oftce returned for the plaint!ff. ; All the inculpated parties were speedily in custody ; and the body of Mrs. Thorndyke having been disin- hear the tvitness whilst under ex- without it cannot make a mags amination, IT requested the lights teired, it was discovered that she should be brought in.
