who was pardoned by the present Legislature
on account of his ill health, and who left the
prison on Tuesday last. June 9th :
I am going home to-morrow,
What joyous thoughts arise,
At the hopes of meeting dear ones
Whom my heart has learned to prize.
In my mind I see the cottage,
Close beneath the mountain’: brow, '
The tall old elms before it,
I'm gazing on them now.
There's a little babbling stvenmlet,
Winding around the hills,
The birds are sweetly singing-—
I hear their echoing thrills.

Q“
Care of Sheep.
Sheep should have provided for them
a covered shed, the bottom of which should
be evenly covered with rough materials
convertible into manure. A- few inches
of these materials, at intervals, through
the wi ter, should be spread over the sur-
face. ‘Moe each week at least, plaster
should be strewn over it. Each sheep
shed should have a yard into which the
sheep may go at pleasure.
Cos-r or KEEPING Snusr.-—It is estima-
ted in the Maine Farmer, that the cost
of keeping sheep, is there, from $1.34 to
$1.84 and $1.90. The cost in the moon-
tainous regions of Virginia, North Caro-
lina, South Carolina and Georgia, would
not come to more than half the sum, as
from the superior mildness of the climate,
the winter feeding would extend over a
much shorter time.
To rnnvuur run R01‘ IN SnsI~:r.—Rot
is often hereditary in sheep. Hence the
great importance of weeding out from the
flock all such cws as exhibited the least
appearance of nnsoundness. Agu.in-—-du-
ring the winter every attention should be
paid to sheep. Study the kind of pasture
that they thrive best on, the kind of hay
grain, &c. Keep them from exposure in
bad weather, and keep them in as high
health as possible, if you would preserve
them from the rot. .

For the Norwalk Gazette.
Death.
“Facts are stubborn things,” and life
is full of them, but Death places the cli-
max on them all. There is not in the
wide world so stubborn a fact as death. It
is an event that happcneth to all, and this
is one of its features. The ingenious
mystifier of truth may find 0. way to -get
out of, or around almost every other fact
in the-universe save this one. Logic and
sophistry alike foil here. Death is death,
and even the Christian’s efforts to make
anything else of it, are fruitless. Dead!
ah dead, oceans of tears and millions of
sighs will not alter the fact. Though the
very life of the mourner is going out af-
ter the loved one, not one word, not one
sigh, nor even a look may the dead give
back ‘to the dying. There stands ameth-
er—a Christian mother—taking her last
look of her child, her dead child. It is
beautiful as ever, oh how lovely, “ an on-
gel now,” whispers one. The mother
raises her eyes to heaven, but they drop
to earth. There lies her darling child
and it is dead. Her heart yearns to em-
brace it, her arms act from weariness of
resz, the loved and cherished burthen so
cheerfully borne may never again be re-
sumed. Soothing words, merry songs
pretty stories are not needed now, the
little one is quiet-—ob, so quiet. It may
be an angel now, but one fact is burning
in the mother's heart, her child is dead.
_ Death is the only event that can possi'
bly happen to cut off all hope. “To
him that is gained to all the living there
is hope.” Let the father, son, or bus-
band be unk ever so low in the dirt and
mire of profligacy and crime, yet there is
hope. They may repent, -they may turn
from the error of their ways, “ wash and
be clean.” And we may love them again.
enjoy their society as well——ah, better
even than before they went astray. Who
loseth much? He to whom much is for-
given. It is possible for the erriug to
deserve our love. The temperance of the
thoroughly reformed inebriate is not a
more negative, but a positive virtue, and
as such should command our respect and
admiration. True, the frowning elder
brothers of society, render it an Hercu-
lean task, for the repentant prodigal to
return, but “ for the living there is hope,”
ane Iwlp too.
But deothis death. Look upon that
pale, cold face, around which perchance a
smile still lingers, a dead smile, it calls
forth no answering joy as in life.-
Take hold of those bands, will they re-
turn the friendly grasp? can you lean up-
on that once strong arm for support ?—
Can you lice without the father, friend
and companion ? If you cannot, you
may die says Death, not one breath will
I prolong for your sake. Oh is not
death a stubborn fact ?
Speak kindly, soothingly, lovingly to
the bereaved, they will feel grateful for
your sympathy, but tell them not it
is wrong to mourn. Tell them not to
say with tearless eyes “ Thy will be done.”
If your heart has ever bled as theirs is
now bleeding, and thou hast found “balm
"in Gilead,” still show them thy scars, and
“ as face answereth to face in the water,”
so will the heart that has been touched
by kindred suffering “answer to heart.”
The “dead are changed,” our little ones
may be cherubs in heaven, our friends
guardian angels and ministering spirits
to us, but it is a long time after they are
gone, ere the still small voice may be
heard, for the clamor that grief is ma.-
king over the dead. We know not what
it is to be dead, but we know that “Je-
sus wept” with the living. ***

'1'ho Blessings of a Good Deed.
BY '1‘. s. ARTHUR.
“ I should like to do that every day,
for 0. year to come,” said Mr. William
Everett, rubbing his hands together in
an irrepressible pleasure.
Mr. Everett, 2:. stock and money bro-
ker had just made a nice “operation,”
by which a clear gain of two thousand
dollars was secured. He was alone in
his office, or, so much alone as not to feel
restrained by the presence of another.-
And yet a pair of dark, sad eyes were
fixed intently upon his satisfied counte-
nance, with an expression, had be ob-
served it, that would at least, have exci-
ted a. moment’s wonder. The owner of
this pair of eyes was a slender, rather
poorly dressed lad, in his thirteenth year,
whom Mr. Everett had engaged a short
time previously, to attend in his office and
run on errands. He was the son of a
widowed mother now in greatly reduced
circumstances. His father had been an
early friend of Mr. Everett. It was this
fact which led to the boy’s introduction
into the brokers oflice.
“Two thousand dollars !” The bro-
ker had uttered his satisfaction ; but now
he communedwith himself silently. “Two
thousand dollars ! A nice little sum
that for a single da.y’s work. I wonder
what Mr. Jenkins will say to-morrow mor-
ning, when he hears of such an advance
in these securities?”
From some cause, this mental refe-
rence to Mr. Jenkins did not add to our
friend's state of exhilaration. Most
probably there was something in the
transaction, by which he had gained so
handsome a sum of money that, in calm-
er moments, would not bear a. too close
scrutidy—something that Mr. Everett
would hardly like to have blazoned forth
to the world. Be this as it may, a more
sober mood, at times, succeeded, and al-
though the broker was richer by two
thousand dollars than when he arose in
the morning, he was certainly no happi-
er.
An hour afterwards 0. business friend
cafple into the ofliee of Mr. Everett, and
son :—
“ Have you heard about Casson ?"
“ No, what of him?”
“He is said to be off for California
with twenty thousand dollars in his pock-
et more than justly belongs to him.”
“What!”
“ Too true, I believe. His name is in
the list of passengers who left New
York in the steamer, yesterday.”
“The sconudrel l” exclaimed Mr. Eve-
rett, who was by this time considerably
excited.
“He owes you, does he ?” asked his
friend.
“ I lent him three hundred dollars only
day before yesterday.”
“ A clear swindle.”
“ Yes it is so. 0, if I could only get
my hand on him.”
Mr. Everett’s countenance, as he said
this, did not wear a. very amiable ex-
pression.
“ Don’t get excited about it,” said the
other, “ I think he has let you of!‘ quite
reasonably. Was that all the sum be
asked to borrow?”
“ Yes.”
“ I know of two persons, at least, who
are poorer by a. couple of thousand dol-
lars by his absence.”
But Mr. Everett was excited. For
half an hour after the individual left,
who had communicated the unpleasant
piece of news, the broker walked the
floor of his oflice with compressed lips,
a. lowering brow, and most unhappy feel-
ings. The two thousand dollar gain in
no way balanced the three hundred lost.
The pleasure created by the one had not
penetrated deep enough to escape oblite-
ration by the other.
Of all this the boy with the dark sad
eyes had taken quick cognizance. And
he comprehended all. Scarcely 0. mo-
ment had his glance been removed from
the countenance of Mr. Everett, while
the latter walked with uneasy steps the
floorof his otlice.
As the afternoon waned, the broker’s
mind grew calmer. The first excitement
produced by the loss passed away ; but
left asense of depression and disappoint-
ment that completely shadowed his feel-
rugs.
ntent as had been the lad’s observa-
tion of his employer during all this time,
it is It little remarkable, that Mr. Eve-
rett had not once been conscious of the
fact that the boy’s eyes were steadily
upon him. In fact, he had been as was
usually the case, too much absorbed in
things concerning himself, to notice what
was peculiar to another, unless the pecu-
liarity as one readily used to his own
advantage.
“John,” said Mr. Everett, turning
suddenly to the boy, and encountering
his large earnest eyes, “ take this note
to Mr. Lcgrand.”
John sprang to do his bidding, received
the note, and was of with usual fleetness
But, the door which closed upon his form,
did not shut out the expression of his
sober face and ‘humid glance from the
vision of Mr. Everett. In fact, from
some cause, tears sprang to the eyes of
the musing boy, at the very moment he
was called upon to do service ; and
quicker than usual though his emotions
were, he had failed to conceal them.
A new train of thoughts now entered
the broker's mind.-. This child of his old
friend hadbeeu taken into his office from
a kind of charitable’ feeling, though of
very low vitality. He paid him a couple
of dollars a week, and thought little more

about him or his widowed mother. He
had too many important interests of his
own at stake, to have his mind. turned
aside for 0. trifling matter like‘ this. But
now, as the sad face——f0r it was unusual-
ly sad at the moment when Mr. Everett
looked suddenly towards the boy—-lIn-
gored on his mind, growing every mo-
ment more distinct, considerations of du-
ty and humanity were excited. He re-
membered his old friend, and in the
pleasant hours they had spent together.
in years long since passed, ere generous
feeling bad hardened into ice, or given
place to an all-pervading selfishness. He
remembered too, the beautiful girl his
friend had married, and how proudly that
friend had presented her to the world as
his bride. The lad had her large dark
spiritual eyes, only the light of joy had
faded therefrom, giving place to a. strange
sadness. . _
All this was now present to the mind
of Mr. Everett, and though hetried once
or twice during the boy’s absence, to ob-
literate these reflections, he was unable to
do so.
“ How is your mother, John?” kindly
asked the broker, when the lad returned
from his errand.
The question was so unexpected, that
it confused him.
“ She’s well——thank you, sir.
very well, either, thank you. sir.”
And the boy’s face flushed and his eyes
suffused.
“ Not very well, you say ?” Mr. Eve-
rcttt spoke with kindness. “ Not sick, I
hope ?”
“No, sir, not very sick. But”-—
“Bnt what, John?” said Mr. Everett;
enconrugingly.
“ She’s in trouble,” half stammcred
the boy, while the color deepened on his
Not so
cc.
“ Ah, indeed, I’m sorry for that.-
What is the trouble ?” _
The tears which John had been vainly
striving to repress, now gushed over his
face, and with boyish shame for the
weakness, he turned away and struggled
for 0. time with his own overmastering
feelings. ‘
Mr. Everett was no little moved by so
unexpected an exhibition. He waited,
with a. new born consideration for the
boy, not unmingled with respect, until 0.
measure of calmness was restored. '
“ John,” he then said, “if your moth-
er is in trouble, it may be in my power to
relieve her.”
“O, sir I” exclaimed the lad eagerly,
coming up to Mr. Everett, and in the
gratefulness of the moment laying his
small hand on that of his employer, “If
you will, you can.”
Hard indeed could have been the heart
that could have withstood the appealing
eyes lifted to the face of Mr. Everett.-
But Mr. Everett had not a hard heart.
Love of self and the world had encrusted
it with indifference toward others, but
the crust was now broken through. V
“ Speak freely, my good lad,” said he
kindly. “ Tell me of your mother.-
What is her trouble ?”
“We are very poor, sir.” Tremnlous
and mouruful was the boy’s voice. “And
mother isn’t well. She does all she can,
and my wages help a little. But there
are three of us children, and I‘am'the
oldest. Mother couldn’t help getting‘_be-
bind with the rent, sir, because she” hadnt
the money to pay it witb.” '-
“This morning, the man who ownsthe
house where we live came for so‘Iu_e money
and when mother told him that .sh0,had
none, he got, 0, so angry, and frightehed
us all. He said, if the rent wa.sn’ti paid
by tomorrow, he’d turn us all into the
street. Poor mother? She went to bed
sick.” ' '
“ How much does your mother owe the
man?” asked Mr. Everett.
“ 0, it is 0. great deal, sir. I’m afraid
she’ll never be able to pay it, and don’t
know what we’ll do.”
“ How much ?” .
“ Fourteen dollars, sir,” answered the
lad.
‘_‘ Is that all?” And Mr. Everett
thrust his hand into his pocket. “Here’s
twenty dollars. Run home to your moth-
er, and give them to her with my compli-
ments.” ‘
The boy grasped the money eagerly,
and as he did so, in an irrepressible burst
of gratitude kissed, the hand from which
he received it. He did not speak,‘ for
strong emotions choked all utterance ;
but Mr. Everett saw his heart in his
large wet eyes, and it was overflowing
with thahkfulness. A ' '
' “Stay a moment,” said the broker, as
John was about passing through the door.
“Perhaps I had better write 0. . noteto
your mother.”
“I wish you would, sir,” answered the
boy as he came slowly back.
A brief note was written, in which Mr.
Everett not only offered present aid, but
promised, for the old recollections, that
now were crowding upon his mind, to be
the widow’s future friend. For half an
hour after the lad had departed, the bro-
ker sat musing, with his eyes upon the
floor. His thoughts were clear, and his
feelings were tranquil. He had made
on that day the sum of two thousand
dollars by ‘a. single transaction, but the
thought of this large accession to his
did not give him a. tittle of
the pleasurn be derived from the bestow-
al of twenty dollars. He thought, too,
of the three hundred dollars he had just
lost by 0. misplaced confidence ; yet even
as the shadow cast from that event began
to fall upon his heart, the bright face of
John Levering was conjured up by fancy,
and all was sunny again.
Mr. Everett went home to his family
on that evening a. cheerful minded man.
Why? Not because he was richer by
nearly two thousand dollars. That cir-
cumstance would have possessed no pow-
er to lift him above the shadowy fretful
state the loss of three hundred dollars
produced. Why ? He had bestowed of
his abundance, and thus made suffering
hearts glad ; all the consciousness of this
pervaded his bosom with awarming sense
of delight.
Thus it is that true benevolence carries
with it, ever, a double blessing. Thus it
is, that in giving, more is often gained
than in eager accumulation, or selfish
withholding.

Hdfus Choate on Pllrtatton
The Dalton divorce case, which has
been on trial during the last Week 01' “'0
before Judge MerrI_c, of the Mass, Su-
preme Court, sitting In Boston, 18 finished
—jury disagreed. From Mr. Choate'I
speech on behalf of Mrs. Dalton, the dc-
fendant in the case, we extract a charno
tcristic passage : ' _ _
It is said that there was an Intimacy bo-
twecn Helen Dalton and Sumner because
of the drives, the rings exchanged. E119
books given. An intimacy of.some kipd
——a light and frivolous, objectionable In-
timacy—one which as long as she 18 I
living woman, is to be the sorrow and re-
pcntance of her life, did exist. They will
say, as Mr. E. O. Coburn expressed It"
that there was a flirtiation between Sum-
mer aud Mrs. Dalton. I answer yel,
there was, and exactly in the words of E.
O. Coburn, that it was only 0. flutatron ;
that it went no further,_and that It might
have gone further, but It was stopped.
answer, this second great piece of circuit.
stantial evidence in the words of their wit-
nesses, that it was a. flirtation only, and
there it stopped. I answer In my own lan'
guage, also, in the next place,_gent_lemen,
which I greatly prefer, that this Intunacy,
which since the days of Joseph Addison,
has been called a flirtation, ( a. vulgar, grol
but most expressive word, but with the
sanction of the great master of classic
lore, Addison however)—-this which we
call flirtation, as circumstantial evidence,
proving the fact of adultery, 18 wholly
worthless.
I have the honor to say, and shall re-
fer to authority to warrant it that as cir-
cumstantial evidence of the crime of adul-
tery, it is not entitled to the slightest
consideration. There is no fact in all our
social life better established, than that a
young married woman may admit aflIrta-
tion, and accept a certain degree ofpleaI-
ure from it, and yet her heart not be
touched for an instant by a. sentiment of
dangerous love; and yet_ start back
when 0. proposition of crime Is Intelligibly
made to her, as if hell yawnrd under her
feet. I submit that our own obsevation
and the books we read—our Addisonl,
our Edgeworths, and our Walter Sotts
-—'all we observe and all we read, goes up-
on it-—the flirters are in one class, and
the adulterers in another. They belong
to totally distinct species, _wIth totally
distinct moral and sensorial develop-
ments. Everywhere we ridicule, gentle-
men, and satirize her whom we call va_In_,
and slight,' and coquetish she Is ridi-
culed and characterized; but from tho
adulteress we turn with aversion an
derision. We satirize one as foolish ; we
turn from the other as wicked. We hold
up one as 0. warning for herself, for her
own correction ; of the other we say :—-
. “ Oh no! we never mention her.”
One is giddy, and the other is wicked.
It is a fact not creditable to any of us,
married women hover, for the
great part of their lifetime, in this region
of vanity and flattery, ‘and yet never
dream of taking the dark descent. Is It
not a fact ? A How many wife will flutter
her plumage to the music of flattery, and
yet when the romance is broken by a
solicitation of ‘chastity, will start, and
with hands upon her ears, fly as if a gob-
lin damned stood before her. It 18 a fact
perfectly well established by all observa-
tions of life, that a. woman may Indulge
in these sentiments, accept this treatment,
and feel this pleasure, ‘whose heart is
never touched by illicit love ; and I sub-
mit that, unless the heart is conquered,
adultery is imposible. I submit thatt his
conduct, upon which my learned brother
is about to insist, is worthless in thejudg-
meut, of the law, as circumstantial evi-
dence to establish it, and I oppose it on
that ground; and we cannot misunder-
stand each other so much as that you
should think I approve this sort of con-
duct.
‘ I go as for as you, any one, in the moral
condemnation of it, and I have no wordl
to defend it, is under levity, its frlvoli-
ty, and its danger ; but I meet you as I.
lawyer, as an observer of life, on all we
know of the heart of man or woman, and
I submit that tens of thousands of wives
have gone so far and yet could never just-
ly be suspected of having taken the last
final step.
Permit me to remind you, under his
H0nor’s direction, of the decisive expres-
sion the law gives in this case. In acnso
much stronger than these letters make
this case, a judgment has been rendered
bv one of my brother ecclesiastical
Judges, a. wise man and a. good man who
understands life and the nature of men
and women. He knows that ten thou-
sand fashionnble women come home at
midnight from parties, to find their hus-
bands asleep. ay, and to be conscious of a
truer pleasure, when they he down by
their sides, from the admiration, from the
devotion, of the flattering throng, whose
words have been playing around the head,
but come not near ths heart. Therefore,
I doubt not we shall all agree upon my
brother’s polshed denunciations of the vice
of flirtation. In the case to which I have
alluded, the judge said the letters had
been much examined and commented upon.
He had read them over and over again,
but he did not intend to follow the coun-
sel iu their comments. They were written
in an ardent and romantic strain, the
man (Bush) soliciting interviews for crim-.
inal purposes—for it was impossible that
his object in addressing a married woman,
being himself a married man, could be
mistaken for any thing else—-but still,
they were by no means conclusive that
the woman had proceeded to the last ex-
tremity of guilt. The court must he sat-
isfied, not only of the guilt of the mind,
but of the body. This case shows, again,
that a. woman may be guilty of. little or
great sins, and still not plunge into the
lowest depths of crime. It is beyond all
manner of controversy the women do go
further than all this, or these moral and
beautiful platitudes in which my brother
will by-and-by indulge, Without being
guilty of adultery. To all that we will
answer, we agree with him perfectly ; but
it is worthless for his object, and unless he
can go further than that and show-—be-
yond the fact of theintimncy, and beyond
the facts, of the alleged flirtation, beyond
and over all these—some act of guilt, and
establish it by other, and collateral, and
strong proof, then I respectfully submit
to you that the libel fails on this part of
the case. ,
