Ill's MARRIAGE—DES1UTION—TRIM. \NI>
ESC APB I !
On last Inesdny night an old color-
oilman who had seen the frosts ot
winter and. the blossoms of sluing tor
um "J J 0lU , " rs telling one of o. u
inercbadts.tlmt ho was tired living it
/ llG tnerenaut, who said he
"‘J s “ * ls, * c ‘; llt 1,10 1
. colored
a 8°°d j'’ke, called to a
woman passing by, who said she would
marry him. We wont across tli
street to witness the eeremouy.
The old man said: “I’se not worthy
■sieh ’uinan as you is.’’
With her ebon cheeks tinged with
blushes, she answered: "I’ll take yon
just like you is, nnd Be no* burden to
you as I’ll s’port myself’
The pair then stood up and after
the usual ceremonies were made man
and wife. After tin- congratulations of
friends present, arid the hope that the
loving couple as they trend the thorny
paths of litV, would meet with naught
but pleasure, they were sent oil their
way rejoicing. But soon the old man
was seen skiwly and sadly weudiug bis
way back, having left his bride.
A warrant was now issued for bis av-
rest and a trial Inatitiited. By this
time a large crowd had gathered nud
there was no trouble in empaneling a
obtuining ; . witnesses, Judge, T - law- i
]"iy,
yers, etc.
Judge J. calltd tlie'Conrt to order,
and instructed the State to proceed
with tbe evidence, the witnesses were
swovn ali d examiued.
Gu] _ J># id behalf of the Sate, arosej
nn ,i u L.Mi p - el,;,, t h-it
•
f needed no argument nnd, therefore,
ho submitted it to the jury.
Col. II. then followed in a very
forcible speech. He appealed to tlm
sympathy of ,,, the jury . in . behalf , , of Ins
client, upon whose countenance lie
said was depicted honesty and truth.
He read extracts on marriage us an
ordinance instituted by the Divine
Creator, Who said: ‘‘Be ye not un-
eqally yoked together,’’ lie claimed
for his client tfiat this was not an
equal match, for his bride, whom ho
thought was “as pure as the driven
snow,’’ was nothing more, than a flirt.
Col. J. then followed in a closing
speech, and said, if tlm bride was not
‘•as pure as the driven snow,’’ neither
was the crime which the old man
had committed in deserting her; and
furthermore, that the law which Col.
H. had read was no Jaw at all. H ,J
said he would base his argument on
the work of Noah Webster, which was
authority, aud would be for ages to
come.
The prisoner was noiV called upon
to make his staement. He now
thought everybody in earnest and
came forth in a trembling voice aud
spoke as follows:
‘‘Gentlemen, Islands’fore you to¬
night charged wid a crime dat I is in¬
nocent of; and as dere have beeu no
courtin’ nor ’lustration on de part ob
eider one on us, I thought she was not
in earnest, for she told Aie arfef I left
ye all dut she would, not hub me, I
swar she did.” [Here Col. H., the
prisoners attorney, went to him aud
told him to spealf louder, as one of the
jury could mot hear well.} “Well,
gentlemen, I isn’t got de wind to talk
much louder.”—But he burst forth in
t >nes which made the nightair resonant,
reminding one of the rumbling,of dis¬
tant thunder: “I is now fifty-five year
old and neber was guilty of anything
wrong in my life, I swar it right now
’fore you all. I is done. If you finds
me guilty I can’t help it.”
The jury then went out and render¬
ed a verdict of guilty, recommending
the prisoner to the mercy of the Court.
His Honor passed sentence on the
prisoner in a touching manner, telling
him that he was surprised that he
should Jeave one so beautiful and ae¬
complished. The Judge’s eyes were
filled With tears, and when he conclud¬
ed his remarks there was not a dry eye
iu the assembly. Ho turned the pris¬
oner over to the sheriff till morning,
when he would be carried to jail, and
from there to the penitentiary for ten
years.
Col. H. went to the prisoner and
told him lie had done the best he could
for him, and now his only hope was
in flight,

and shot around tho_-yeqm®y, and
