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, Iho piisoner watched bis _. chance, and shot around tho_-yeqm®y, and through the ceding'with dim lamp-light his form wa would ®, 8 ? en havedirtie ' a velocity winged that credit to the steed' pac^rbea oL-Pcgastis, slnckening not his tb« cries of “shoot him, him!” has rang out on the heard night air; and he not been seen or of since.
