Laughter is day. and so biiety is night aud a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewiichiug than either. But all smiles are not alike.

John T wtiOK; The 'I'iiuon of the liuckwuixlM llnr and I'ul pit. BY CHARI.ES SU JIM KItPIKI.U. 1 can never forget my tir.st vision of John Taylor. It was in the court house o> Lewisburg, Conway county, Arkansas, in ilie sumu.er of 1833. The occasion it-ell possessed terrible interest. A va>t concourse of spectators bad assembled to witness the trial of a young and beautiful nirl, on an indict ment tor murder. The Juii^e wailed at the moment tor the Slleliff to bring in his prisoner, and the ejes ot the i npulieni muliitude alTcentfred on the door, when ' suddenly a stranger entered, whose ap pearance rivelted universal attention. Here is his portrait?a figure tall, lean, sinewy, anil straight as an arrow; a face sallow, billions, and twitchingincessan'ly I with nervous irra ibility; a bro?v broad, soaring, massive, seamed with wrinkles. ; but not from age, for he was scarcely ; forty; ejes reddi h yellow, like the wrath iul eagle as bright anil piercing; and fi ; nally.a tnouth with lips of cast iron, thin, curled, cold and sneering, the intense iexpresMon of which looked the living t m bodiment if an unbreathed curse. lie was habited in a new suit of buck skin. 6rnametited after the fashion of Indian costume; with hues of eveiy color of the rainbow. Elbowing his way slowly through the crowd, and apparently unconscious thai tie waRregarded as a phenomenon, needing explanation, this singular being advanced, and with the haughiy air of a king as cending the throne, seated himself within] the bar, thronged as it was with the dis ciples ol Cuke an<l Blackstune, several of whom, it wan known, esteemed them selves as far superior to those old an.I fa- j motis masters. The contrast between the outlandish garb and disdainful countenance of the utranger excited especially, the risibility of the lawyers, and the j'inior members began a suppressed titter, which g'ew lounder, and soon swept, around the cir cle. They doubtless supposed the intruder to be some wil I liun.er of the mountains, who hid never before seen the inside of a hall ot justic^. Instantly the cause and obj-ci of the laughter perceived it, he turned his head gradually, 80 at to give' each laugher a look, his lip cuiled with a killing smile of iatiniie scorn: his tongue g through hi* teeth, literally writhed like a serpent, and ej-tculated itt> sap like poison in a single word : " Savagesi" No pen enn describe the defiant force which he threw into the term; no pencil WHS*; wh?pw..s3?

The general glare, however^ %as im mediately diverted,by the advent of the fair prisoner, who then came in surround ed by her guard. The aopivfition was m ?ugli to dri'ye avaint mad; lor her's was h style to bewilder the tamest imagina tion. and melt the coidest heart, leaving in both imagination and heart a gleaming picture, enameled in tire and fixed in a frame of gold from the btars. It *as the spell of an enchantment to be felt' as well as seen. You might feel it in the flush of her c untenance, clear as a sunbeam, brilliant as an iris; in the contour of her features, sy^mmetrical as if cut by the chisel of an arils ; in her hair of rich au burn linglets, flowing without a braid, softer than silk, finer than gossamer , in the eyes blue aa the heavens of a South ern summer, large, liquid, beamy; in her motions, graceful, swimming, like the gentle waftures of a bird's wing in the summer air; in the figure, slight, ethere al, sylph's or seraph's, and. more than all, in the everlasting smile o( the rosy lips, so arched, so serene. so like star light, and yet possessing the power of magnetism to thrill the b holder's heart Ai the unfortunate girl, so tastefully dressed, so incomparable as to personal charms, calm and smiling, took her place before ihe bar of her Judge, a murmur of admiration arose from the nitililu le. which the prompt interposition ol the court, by a stern order ol "silence," could scarcely repiess from swelling to a deaf ening cheer. rile Judge turned to the prisoner: '? Emma Miller, the court, ha^ been in formed that your counsel, Cel. Linton, is sick. Have you employed any other ?" She answered in a voice sweet as the watble of the nightingale, and as clear as the song of the skv-laik : " My enemies have bribed all the law \ers, even my own, to be sick; but God will defend the innocent I" At this response, so touching in its simple pathos, a portion of the auditots buzzed applause, and the rest wept. On the instant, however, the stranger, whose appearance had previously excited such merriment. Marled to his feet, ap proached the prisoner, and whispered something in her ear. Site houn.hd six inches from the fl ior, uttered a piercing shriek, and then stood trembling as if in the presence iif a ghost from eternity ; while the singular bein>r who had caused ~ O her unaccountable emu.ion, address, d the court in hi-* sharp, r inging voice, sonorous as the sound of bel! uietal : " May ii please jour honor. I will ns sume the ta>k of defending the lady." ?? What," exclaimed the astonished Judge, "are you a licensed attorney ?" " The question is irrelevant And imma terial," r> plied the stranger, with a ven omous sneer, " as ihe recent (untitles en titles any person to the right to act as counsel at the request of the party." " But does the prisoner request it," in quired the Judge. '? Let her speak for herself," said the stranoer. ** 1 do," was the answer, as a long drawn t>igh escaped, that seemed to rend her very heart stiings. The case immediately progressed ; and a* it had a tinge of roinuttic mjstery. we epitom'ze the substance of thu evidence. About twelve months before, the tie fendat.t had arrived in the villaye, and opened an establishment ot milhueiy.? Residing in a room connected with her shop, and all alonu she prep ired the ar-i cles of her trade wi ll unwearied labor and consummate taste, ller habits were secluded, modest, and retiiing hence she might have hoped to avoid notoiiety, but for the perilous gift of that exirordinary beau'y which to ? often to the po >r an.I frit ndless, proves a curse. She was soon sought after by all those fire-flies of fash i hi, the pro'esMbn of whose life, every where, is seduction and ruin. But the beautiful stranger rejected ihrm all wi h mutter-.ble scorn nilti loathing. Among these rejected admirers was one of a char acter from which the fair milliner had ey erything to fear, iiirarn Shore belonged loafamilv, at once opulent, iirflaetuial ? and dissipated. He was him>eli licen-' tious, brave, and lerociously. revengeful | ?the most famous duelist of the South- j west. 11 wasgentrsllt known that he had made advances to win the favor t>f the l ively Einma anil had shared the fate of all others ? a di-dtiuiul repulse. " At nine o'clock on (Jhiisimas night 1837 the people ol Lewit>burg were s-.ar tled by a loud 6cream. ns one in mortal terror, while following that, with scarcely j an in'eival, came successive reports oil tiienrols.

I did it," caid the beautiful milliner, " 1 did it to Barn my honor 1" Aa may be readily imagined, the deed caused an intense sensation. Public opinion, however waa divided. The poor er classes credited the gir.'si version of Ihft/l^cMi i lauded her in terms of merer less eulogy. Bui the friends of the deceased, and ol hia lamily gave a different and dar ker coloring to the affair, and denounced the lovely homicide as an airuciout c>i slam. and displaced ,h*ir. feelings in ? re. voiling partiallsyl The Judge committed her without the privilege of bail, and the sheriff chained _hy m the felon> dungeon! Such is'a brief abstract of the circum* stances developed in the elimination ol witnesses. The testimony closed and the pleading began. * .

At tl.e proper lime, however, lie sud denly spring to his leet, crossed the bar, and took his phj e almost touching ihe jury. lie then cummunced in a whisper, but it was a whisper so mild, so clear, so mutterably ringing and diarinct, as to fill the hall from door to galleries.

But it w .4 in ti.e peroration that he reached his ii iiitn ot terror and sublimity, llis fea tures were livid as those ol a corpse ; his very hair seemed to stand on end ; his nerves shook as with palsy ; lie tossed his hand wildly towar.l heaven, each finger stretched apart and quivering like Hie tltnie of a candle, as he closed with the last words of the decea ed liiram Shore ?" 1 ell ray mother that 1 am dead and gone to Hell!" His emphasis on the word hell embodied the nemo of an ideal of horror ; it was that wail of immeasurable despair. No language can depict the ef fect on us who heard i .

Indeed, misan thropy revealed i self as the prominent emo'ian. The discourse was a tirade against infidels. in which class the preach er seemed to include everybody but him self ; it was a picture of hell, such as Lu ctfer might have drawn, with a world in 11 imes for his pe? ctl.
