A BATTLE SCENE. 
[Thk following description of a battle, written by B. F. 
Tati.or, has rarely been excelled in the best efforts of the 
masters of the poet's art. ] 
Then the rattling roll of the musketeers, 
And the muffled drums and the rallying cheers, 
And the rifles burn with a keen desire, 
Like the crackling whips of the hemlock fire, 
And t.be sighing shot and the shrieking shell, 
And the splintered fire of the shattered hell, 
And the great white breaths of the caution smoke, 
As the growling guns by the batteries spoke 
In syllables dropp’d from the thunder of God— 
The throb of the cloud where the drummer-boy trod I— 
And the ragged gapes in the walls of blue 
Where the iron surge rolled heavily through, 
That the Colonel build* with a breath again, 
As he cleaves the din with “close up, men I” 
And the groan tom out from the blacken’d lips, 
And the ttie prayer doled slow with the crimson dripis, 
And the benrny look in the dying eye, 
As under the cloud the stars go by ! 
But his soul marched on, the Captain said, 
For the soldier in blue can never be dead I 
And the troopers sit in their saddles all, 
As the statutes carved in an ancient hal), 
And they watch the wldrl from their breathless ranks, 
And their spurs are dose to the horses' flanks, 
And the fingers work, of the sabre hand— 
Oh, to bid them live, and to make them grand I 
And the bugle sounds to the charge at last, 
And away they plunge, and tbe front is passed. 
And the jackets blue grow red as they ride, 
And the scabbards, too, that clank by their side; 
And the dead soldiers deaden the strokes iron-shod, 
As they gallop right on o'er the plushy red sod; 
Right into tin; cloud all spectra' and dim, 
Right up to the guns black-throated and grim, 
Right down cm the hedges bordered with steel, 
Right through the dense columns, then “right about 
wheel I”

THE GARNET RING. 
Ddrino the first year of my practice as an 
attorney, clients and causes were so few with me 
that I found it an agreeable change from the 
dullness of an almost unfurnished and unfre¬ 
quented back office, to visit the court rooms, 
where I not only became familiar with tbe usages, 
arts and means of success employed by skillful 
lawyers, but where I could see human nature in 
its perplexities and struggles, its feebleness and 
power, exciting in me an interest aud sympathy 
that the drama has never equaled. 
One. freezing morning during the first, week of 
December, my office having been wholly inno¬ 
cent, for the season, of all artificial warmth, was 
too cold and cheerless to he endured any longer. 
It was enough to quench the light, of hope and 
fire of courage in the most hot-headed and enthu¬ 
siastic young man, so 1 determined to leave it, lbr 
awhile. I took down from its hook my old over¬ 
coat, the ever-rcady and unflinching friend of 
two or three winters, which, regardless of digni¬ 
ty as an outsider, had never shrunk from the 
duties of a frock-coat, dressing gown, sick-gown 
and bed-clothes. But. alas ! on this tireless, cold 
morning, when it would have been so grateful to 
my poor heart and poorer purge to have found it 
transformed into one of the thickest beavers,fur- 
lined and fur-trimmed, invincible to the fiercest 
•• If it is anything that can be brought to bear 
in favor of the prisoner, tell me forthwith,” I 
said, “for she is an innocent-looking girl, aud 1 
am very much afraid things will go hard with 
her.” 
“ She never Btole them tilings,” he said deci¬ 
sively. 
“ They were found in her possession. That is 
a strong legal proof and 1 am afraid that it will 
decide the case against her.” 
“ Are you a lawyer ?” be asked. 
1 answered that *1 was. 
“ Are yon her lawyer ?” I 
“ 1 am going to defend her; if you can tell mo 
anything. I warn you that there is not a moment 
to lose.” 
Well, then, some of the same fuzz and trim¬ 
mings tltai’s on the stolen clothes is on this girl 
on the stand.” 
“ Is that so ? Are you sure ? 
“Sure as cau he.” 
“ Well, that’s something, or may lie.” 
“Then 1 know that big ring on her forefinger 
as well as 1 know my hand.” 
“ Do you ?" 
“ I’d swear it." 
“Well, we’ll give yon a chance to. What is 
your name ?” 
“Miles Allen." 
“ Keep on hand where you are, and we’ll take 
care of this poor girl, if we can.” 
I sent, a line up to the Judge, in which I offered 
to defend ttie prisoner. He announced this fact, 
I took u seat behind her, and the trial went on. 
Tho Interview with Allen and the note to the 
Judge had prevented me from hearing much of 
Mary Murray’s testimony; but the prisoner seem¬ 
ed to have lost nothing of it. She questioned 
her closely as to thuir personal relatione, and 
from the answers she drew out. it was evident 
that Selina’s pretty face had excited considerable 
attention in a young mau who boarded at Mrs. 
Wilson's, and whom Mary Murray chose to con- i 
eider her beau: that Mary bad shown ill-will 
toward Selina on making this discovery, and 
made some slanderous remarks concerning her. 
and had even uttered a few threats for her warn¬ 
ing. 
1 permitted the prisoner to elicit these facts 
without interruption, and I must acknowledge 
she did it. with a tac-t which surprised me, arid 
which I could ascribe only to stromr woman wit. 
At my request, he ordered Marv Murray to be 
recalled. She appeared, quite red with anger. I 
examined her as to where she obtained the gar¬ 
net ring, and, as I anticipated, received only 
unsatisfactory ami contradictory answers. 
The Judge requested her to remove it from her

I detained her for further examination. 
“ Have you any employment at present ?” I in

She answered in the affirmative, 
“ What is ii ? 
“Cap-making.” 
“ Who is your employer ?” 
This she told. 
modestrlooMng Selina White was t hat girl though 
she was now in the prisoner’s dock, on trial as a 
boarding-house thief. 
“Now," said the Judge, turning to the clerk, 
“I think we will look ai those stolen clothes 
again.” 
They were produced, and, on being examined, 
there was found, fastened to some bead trimming 
which ornamented the dress, a bit of brown 
plush, the same in shade and fabric with that the 
clerk had secured. 
In the meantime an officer had returned from 
Mary Murray’s lodging? (where he had gone at 
ray suggestion,) with a brown plush cap. which 
she lmd lately finished; and, ou comparison, it 
was found that its material was the same with 
the shreds before tbe court. 
The testimony was now all in, and I arose to 
make the defence. I went over the evidence, 
and showed that there was nothing against the 
prisoner but the one fact of possession—always a 
strong one. 1 admitted, but iti this case out¬ 
weighed by the apparent malice and guilt of the 
girl Murray, who had not only bated and plotted 
to ruin her. but had stolen from her herself. 
In proof of this I alluded to her jealousy, her 
threats, and her too great readiness in throwing 
suspicion upon Selina. 1 dwelt on the circum¬ 
stance that a bit of jilusli, which appeared to be 
cutting from Marv Murray’s work, whs found 
upon the stolen dress, although it had been 
packed away for a long time previous to being 
found in the prisoner’s possession. It had not 
been shown that Selina White ever had any 
plush, or had ever been In Mary Murray’s room 
to obtain it. 
“Then how,” I asked, “did 111 is detective shred

RIDDLE.
