The owner of the knife, l» wever, induced him to make it sixty dolâ€" lurs, and the amount was placed in the hands of stranger nutaber 2.

He was Some curiosities of our criminal proceâ€" dure may have been not‘ced in the reports from that stern temple of justice, the Sesâ€" sions House, Clerkenwell. A woman 64 years of age, for stealing a towel and an apron, was sentenced to 12 month‘s imâ€" prisonment, with hard labor. A youth of 19, for abstracting a purse containing nalf a crown **shd othor moneys" belonging to his father, got five years‘ imprisonment, with hard labor. Perhaps these were bad offenders, and previous convictions were certainly proved against them ; but the senâ€" tedices,at least, show that justice wus not tempered with any large amount of merey. As soon, however, as we come to those highlyâ€"favored culprits, tme wifeâ€"beaters, we find merey supremely aseendant and interceding _ in _ their _ behalf _ most efficaciously with her sterner sister. Wm. Powe!, a young and heaithy brute of 81, was convieted of having assaulted his wife and occasioned her actually bodily harm. The "harm" consisted im having been braincd with a poker by her loving lord and master, who, after an angry altercation, launched the poker at her head, javelinwise. No wild Indian could have thrown his totmahawk more nest!y. The "poker being short and worn at the end," entered the woman‘s forehead and there stuck fast. It was pulled out, not by her muscular Lbusband, but by a passing stranger, whom q’s of murder brought to the spot. The vietim hovered for days between life and "Averse from being convicted for grave tisdeamor and suffering the penaities of the law, a dog belonging to one Theodore Gordon, of Shepherd‘sâ€"bush, has played a wensible part. It had been taken before M2. Paget on the serious Accusation of bitâ€" h* a lad‘s pantaloons, and the evidence bp the charge of ferocity was going hard against it, when the creature entered the eourt. â€" Immediately comprehending the withation, it jumped upon the magistrate‘s detk, and, in lieu of a speech for the deâ€" feuce, fondled he representative of offendâ€" ed justice ; theu settled down down quietly upon a chair, where its unimpeachable beâ€" havior during the remainder of the case so wrought in its favor that, in place of being dYangerous it was declared playful, and libâ€" erated without even the necessity of fnding bail. It is evident, like Artemus Ward‘s kangaroo, this Shepherd‘sâ€"bush mastiff was ertremely intelligent. Had it BDitten the magistrate or worried the usher, or even barked at Spestators who thronged the Court, it mi;;htb" met with the divest fate. But thedog knew thit there was a time for all things, and that in the Hamâ€" mersmith Court an affable, enguging manâ€" per would be preférable. Inreviewing the conduet of this thougtful animal, one is almost tempted to regret that it dannot imâ€" bue some of the lords of creationwith equal sagacity. If some ot them=only kaew when to be quiet, a great step would be pelied t» go home without his money, a sadder and a wiser man. His loss is all the more severe in view of the fact that the §60 was intended to complete a payment on his farm.

The cymbalum was also used in the cloister. The abbot had hLis codon, or small handbell, shaped liko the orifice of a Greek trumpet ; with this he summoned to his oratory or study the servile brother whose duty it was to attend to his . call, whilst the petasius, or large kandvell, would be used occasionally to call the monks in from enltivating the fields.

In the night time the noctula or dupla, or clock bell, struck to remind the brethren when they shou‘d mse aud pray ; wiiilst the dreaded corrigiâ€" uncula, or scourgingâ€"bell, summoned the ascetics to their flagratory devctions. But the beli of all others, which awoke, and ever awakes, in the breast of Catholics the profoundest emotion, is the silver toued nola or choir bell, rung at the conseeration ofthe elements: when that shrill end irâ€" regular ringis heard through the church, the mouks fall prostrate and cross themâ€" selves; the dread miracle is being at that time consumated ; and only the most bigntâ€" ed or unimaginative Protestant can withâ€" stand the indescribable thrill enused by the tinging of the saer mental bell, whilst clouds of insense typify the floating heavenâ€" ward of the preyers of the faithtul, ud the crowd without the chancel screen bow down simultaneously in mute advration before the elevation of the Sacred Host.

He was a Scotehman, and had beena brought up a rigid Presbyâ€" teriau. â€" "Ab, well." said he, "they think ill of me at home for changing my religion; but there is my brother Aleck, who took it most to heart. He was on his way last year to California, and turned off the road a bit to see me, and to try and bring me back into the fold. When he got here he spent the whole evening lesturing me, and theu went to bed.

Thompson has created a painful sensaâ€" tion throughout the civilized world. A few weeks sinee the Chicago Times published a detailed statement charging the Dr. with having rumed the peace of a family named De Land, of Grand Rapids, Mich. It was said that Mrs. De Land had gone to Enrope to study music and cultivate a fine voice, avd while there she had formed the acâ€" quaintadee of Dr. Thompson, who had acâ€" complished ber ruin. This story was widely cireulated, although denied by her husband, and the cffect was so painful on the mind of the victim that it produced a sudden and fata) termination on Sunday last.

Another thought there would be too much work, whereupon we proposed to discharge the whole family and live on white oak bark and elderberries, Another wanted the afternoons and Sunâ€" days to herselt, and we assured her that we wanted her only for an ornament, as we proposed to pay her $2 a week, and do all the work ourselves, Aunother was takâ€" ing musie lessons, and wauled to know if we had a piano.
