A POETIC PRISONER.

́PLEADED IN VERSE,

From the dock at the Clerkenwell (London) Sessions, suma few weeks ago, a tall, grey

haired, bild-beaded man, of 61 years of ago, pleaded in pross and varse for a sentence of three years, and got what he asked fey. ॰།།

George Morley by name, the man claimed to be upholsterer, decorator, painter, salesmio, linguist, elocutionist, and poet. It was bo- cause he bad added to his many accomplish.. ments that of a dasposter of furnished lodgings that he found himself in the dock,

He pleaded guilty to a series of charges of robbing furnished apartments, and to assaulting Joha Rogën.

Since #889 it was proved prisoner had had sentences of two (twice), four, six, and twelve month hard labour for theft and fraud, and Detective-Sergeant Allerton, said that he had robbed many houses in West London, where be bad pored as a retired police officer..

to mitigation he produced a long manu- script, and addressed Mr. Wallace with great dramatic effect, banging the dock rails to emphasise his points.

"My lord," he begas, "I have pleaded guilty. because i have no desire to waste the time of

the court-2&

"That is not a very good reason," interrupt-

"Alio, because I am guilty," Morley con- tinued.

"And what is more," said Morley, dropping, jolo vents:-

I bail the hour that fads me bore,"

Before your honour, as my judga,

And all I say shall be slacare;

From truth I will not budge.

The wonder is, sir, that we have not met at as earlier date, inasmuch as for some time now I have been looking forward to, expecting, and, indeed, preparing the way for this present, yet pleasant, legal tableau. There is, as you know, French saying, 'Tout vient a qui sait after- dre (everything comes to him that walts),"

PHILOSOPHY OF CLOUDS.

"I have waited for this hour, and it has come : and I am glad of it rejoice in it, and have a welcome for it. You know, air, that Providence gives thick bides to animals that must exist in cold climates, and to men that are reserved for sorrow it gives a genuina jovial spirit. Indeed, the inner side of the darkest cloud

Is bright and shining.

I therefore turn my clouds about

And to-day wear them inside out

That you may see the lining.

I have to admit that a warning voice has often

whispered in mine ear!

Be careful, George, or for the law courts you

are fated,

J

Then in the newspapers your case it will

appear, Where legal stories aro no pitbily narrated. "I have done wrong with my eyes open, wil fally and fully alive. I have made my own bed, and intend to lie upon it as cheerfully as iny age and constitution will permit.

Magos est veritas et prevalebit." Thus
