was. She appeared to be very much excited, J and witness did not think she knew what she j was doing. From daily observations, saw j that Mrs. Ould was a very industrious wo man. W. L. Fleming testified that he knew no thing about the shooting.…

This closed the testimony for the defence. — Mr. Johnson then made an application for bail. He said that the testimony had proved the most extraordinary friendship on tho part j of the accused for Meade, on which, consider

ing his persona] appearance and general ac- | complisamenta, he coukinot compliment her very highly. Meade had evidently perjured himself, as had been proved by the testimony of respectable witnesses. He was but slightly hurt by the shot, at…

Christmas. tt would seem a remorseless piece of irony to extend to our people the usual greeting of •' A Merry Christmas." In the midst of a land desolated by tbe iron foot-prints of war, with half a million of their best and bravest sleeping…

dark and threatening clouds still brooding over their future, it seems like the utterance of heartless sarcasm to exclaim, " A Merry Christmas."

Yet, it was in the moral midnight of the world that the Christmas star first rose. It was upon an altar whose prestige had de parted, that its mild lustre first fell, illumina ting it with a glory such as the first temple had never known. It…

Christian Anniversary may be incongruous j and inconsistent in times like these; but Christmas, in its true method of observance, ■ is the very festival for periods of darkness and

tribulation. It brings its gold and£rankinccuse ] and myrrh not to kings in their purple, but to ' poverty in its lowliest estate. It converts the i

stable into a palace and the manger into a j throne. It leads us to the feet of Him who \ came to '« visit us in great humility," who re joiced in the companionship ot* the sorrowful j and meek, whose miracles were performd not I only to attest…

anniversary with the exuberant joyousness of j former years, it may, at least, bring us conso

The speech of Mr. Raymond, a part of which we published on Saturday, has, no doubt, been read with interest by every person who feels j

any Anxiety with regard to the present condi- \ tion of public affairs. It takes the ground held by the whole Union party throughout the

war, with the exception of Thad. Stevens and j a few followers, who were then, and continue to be now, quite as good Secessionists as Jef fkbbon Davis or any member of his Cabinet. If the promises of Mr. Raymond be sound, his conclusions are…

A flash of pleasure sprang to her face when she saw me. "Oh! I thought you had gone wl*h the rest," she said. .. said I, "I have not gone yet, but I am going presently. I came for yon."

We were all three ludicrously amazed at. the sudden metamophose that had taken place. Teecie was too simple not to show that she felt the change in herself, felt it keenly, with a strange delight and a strange shyness. Nurse had so long been…

in hor or me, or in both of us, 1 did not in- j quire. The change was not an unpleasant one. Wo strolled out of the garden, and into the lane, and we talked earnestly all the way. On our way back 1 said: "And you're not afraid of starving with…
