It was found, on entering the room with a duplicate key, that the male and female had not been the only persons therein, but that a male child, about four weeks old, had kept them company. The baby was very unsumptously clothed in a late copy of the Allentown Democrat, and another dirty r&g was wrapped about its body. The inhuman parents had left the little waif to the tender mercies of the world—hud abandoned their offspring.

My. fellow-countrymen of America, men of the press, I have done you one act of justice—of all your bitter articles, I have read not one. I shall never be troubled in the future time by the remembrance of any unkind word you have said of me, for at this moment I recollect not one. I had such faith in you, such pride in my countrymen, as men with whom, above all others, the cause of woman was safe and sacred, that I was at first astonished and incredulous at what I heard of the course of the American press, and was silent, not merely from the impossibility of being heard, but from grief and shame. But reflection convinces me that you were, in many cases, acting from a misunderstanding of facts and through misguided honorable feeling; and I still feel courage, therefore, to ask from you a laD'r hearing. Xow, ns I have done you this justice, will you also do me the justice to hear ma seriously and candidly ?

Is not truth between man and man and between man and woman the foundation on which all things Have you not, every individual of you, wbo must hereafter give an account yourself alone to God, an interest to know the exact truth in this matter, and a duty to perform as respects that truth ?

He said he was one of the losers of bonds, in the late bank robbery. About one year ago the bank notified owners of bonds, through the village paper, that they would not be responsible fur the loss of bonds placed in the bank for safe keeping. Not taking a home paper, he failed to get the notice; the consequences is he did not remove his bonds, but the burglars did—all of which came from bis not taking village papers.

The painting was such a striking one that Byron's mother was unable to drive it from her mind, and when her son was born, the thought of the mother became life in the person of her child. The otherwise perfectness and symmetry of his form and the extreme beauty of his face, were all that saved his life, and saved to English literature a shining light, for the monstrosity of a little babe with horns, hoof and tail was too much even for the attending physician, showing rather conclusively that the origin of the soul of the child was not in that place, the keys of the frod door of which are kept by St. Peter.
