It is a public misfortune when a Judge shows himself unable to comoirehend tieptlon ot Jhoae whose fate depends on his aecist6nr't)ne" of the tint requisites 01 a goou juuko mo vnww (would be that he should understand how exceedingly Important his detritions are to those affected by them, End ahould prove himself all re to the feelings which must animate, those, who have the misfortune to require hia aid. The severe and cold Demeanour of a judge who administers rigid justice, snd is betrayed into no comments further than ths ce.a before him positively requires, imparts much more dignity to a tribunal, and evokes much I less bitternrss and Indignation, than the namby-pamby hetoiio of a well-meaning official who sees in ths anxitties of his suppliants an occaiipn for displaying an unreflecting sentimentolism. Few pleasures of memoir sre such apples of Sodom as those which Sir James Wilde let before the vinfox- tunateofiiotr. But it may perhaps be observed that 1 the pleasures of memory sre mostly the Inventions of pcets, and are seldom tasted in roal life. When we lock back over a long course of years over infancy, or school days, or the season of early lover we can easily summon up a vague and general conception of what wa were and did then, whioh is iu a great measure conventional, and is borrowed out of books, but which also reflects the languid interest with which we think on what has long passed away, but retains the chsrm of having happened to ourselves.

If, however, we try go further, and to ask what we did and suffered day by day in the' times we are thinking of, we A sacn become conscious: that the memory is by no means always and that, even where Hi is not unpleasant fur a definite reason, it is vapid anel tedious to us now. Especially when we have hae. our minds shaken by along suspense, when we have eadured wrongs we thick undeserved, and have losu ties which we hoped would be perpetual, it is idle to talk of the pleasures of memory, although time may jhaye in some degree dimmed the first pain which the thought of our griefs and losses occasioned. Memory is rarely pleasant unless it is merely jthe memory of external trials from whioh we lhave escaped, or of scenes and times in which we have come in contact with Something that has en- and purified us. A traveller who has under- gone great hardships, who has had his: courage and resolution taxed, who has been in danger ef his life, and haa seen himself given over to the power' of wild ibeasta ot savages or the fury of the elements, and who then has returned to civiliaatiou and safety and com- fort, may naturally contrast ths present with the past, lsnd may find that to think over the terrors of the 1 latter heightens his enjoyment of the former )8o, too, it Is often better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all and there is a keen satisfaction in going over the events of past times when Iwehave- been, subject to sn Influence' which has (elevated, us, when tender and high feelings were 'elicited, snd our communion wss with persons who icame before us subject to the like lnflaences, sad Forked up to as high a strain.

It is not, however, ue even then that the sensation which such reminis-jcen ces call up ons thst can al ways be called a pleasure of memory. Fonan. et hmc 611m memlniMe juvabit applies almost exclusively to external trials cr to scenes in whioh we have 'been gay snd happy. When the memory is only that' of misery, of times when we have come in contact with that which has repelled and alienated us, and when we have had 1 to endnre, and have been subjected to those afflictions which reveal our' weakneases, and to the Icalamitits that have cast a fatal gloom oyer our lives, then the memory is itself unalterably and (partakes of the nature of the evil1 through which we piave been slowly and sadly carried.

i. I 1 jCai'ital subject of the unhappy individual about whose sanity or insanity so much has recently been said, baa formed a topic of discussion in Parliament. That discussion, however, has been hut partially satisfactory. After all that has been uttered, we have the utmost difficulty in believing in the poor man's sanity at the time he committed the murder. In tiuth, we cannot believe it.

We see not how it is consistent with the known principles of human nature 1 for a man of perfectly sound mind to perpetrate such 'an enormity. There is unspeakable difficulty in the boundary that seven sanity from derangement, and there are, moreover, alternations of hhese states; and, the man may be now, we entirely believe that he was irrational, and, not responsible, -when the deed was committed. We have read everything pertaining to the question of any moment, and to ihU conclusion we are inevitably led. Mr. Ewart, we perceive, haa 'announced his intention to bring on trio subject of Icspltal punishment very shortly.

We cannot respect the humanity of that very estimable member jbur, while he is so anxious to shield tho murderer (from the penalty hitherto inflicted, la it hoi strange that he will not think of the murder itself We have had ever and anon to complain' that all the avmpathy is with, tbe ivil doer, and not the IsuflVrer of evil.

'A raw days ago a case was heard in the Divorce vbinh draw (torn the nreaidinrr Juflffeaomfl'Terv curious obsoivationsi The plaintiff was a captain in the Indian army, and he sued for a divorce iront bis wife on the ground ot ner improper intimacy witn in, irvbev nfficer in India- It anrieared that the. wife jhad, on a former occasion, been guilty of an aot of the same kind, snd had acknowledged her guilt both to jthe plaintiff and to the plaintiti's mother. But she naa oeen paraonea uer aiuwiu ion the second occasion, ner nusDanti, so long as he suspected mere impropriety, had again pardoned ner, merely sending her out 'of India and the dangenof Indian society.

The evidence, as reported, appears to have fully justified the decision of the Court, and so far every thing was as might have been expected. But the Judge was trot content with this, and he indulged in the composition of a most extraordinary family picture.

He said that he saw no reason why the husband, having shown himself ready to pardon so much, should not take his wife back and live very happily with Nay. the time might come when the nappy pair would look, upon thia interlude as a positively bright and 1 agreeable spot in their pest i lives, and would chat comfortably and pleasantly oyer their little quarrel in the Divorce Fonah ef hoes olim memtnisse juvabit," said Sir James Wilde. The day, perhaps, will come when this merry pair will smile at their chequered past, and enjoy together the Pleasures of In- nerfe.es trood faith Sir James-Wilde- anticipated tbe day when a husband would sit side by jside with his wife and positively delight iu sweet reminiscence that be had shown her before England Ito have lost for ever the right to appear among honest, women, and, after having onee to have indulged a second time in an, intrigue with a her ovm which, although not proved to have been of a criminal riature, would, as Sir James Wilde stated, have afforded sufficient grounds for a divorce as coupled with the former 1 fftnee, had it not been for the renewed condonation of her husband. As yean' go by, thia unfortunate suitor is depicted by the judge as giving himself and the woman he had branded with public shame the quiet satufoction of recollecting their own past history, and also of remembering that he had cast on him the duty of bringing an aged mother into the witness-box to attest his wife's guilt and to describe his own temper, and that he had been obliged to see his most intimate and private correspondence pub dished in the his anguish and his wife's penitence all his sorrows, arid vacillations; sll her shame, and remorse, and, mad station bared to the jpublic eye, and made the common topio of light and MiiuBuig vunvcieuuun.

Between them and their past lives there is' is great gulf fixeoWthat of publicity. The world knows their sad history, and their wrongs and quarrels land. sins have become the property of society.

A ihnBband in auch a case knows that every ene who is with him is henceforth perfectly aware that he has a faithless wife, that he haa' been tricked, and wronged, that this has jhecn for yean the source of great family misery, that ithe burden of this woo has been eating secretly into tbe peace cf all privy to the secret. It is true that in many casea there have been errors on both sides'; and in this particular instance the advocates of the wife tried to show, and the judge seems in Bome (measure to have allowed, that the husband had not 'always kept his temper with a woman who had ao deeply irritated him lEvenif this wore so, the- barb (of hia disappointment is not lest sharp because he has to reveal to a gossiping publio his own infirmities as well as lis wife misconduct.

But for my habit of observation, you see, I might bsve remained out of doors all night for nothing would have induced me to have called yon up, my character being, as you know, independent to BlTaolt." I Dick nevir occupied our Spare Room again we had had enough of his habit of observation and inde-' pendence of character, as well as of Aunt Bertha's spiritual despotism. We did not indeed sell off the furniture of that unfortunate apartment which was always leading us Into so much trouble and expense but we did a bolder thing still we invited Under Trotter to come and live wiih us.

1 Uncle Trotter was perhaps one of the most disagreeable persona alive, and was very aincerely 'ablurrcd by every member of his family, as well aj by his relulions by mairiage, including Mivins him-stl but at the same time he was greatly respected and csreised. His wealth was said to be untold, and his constitution was thought not to be worth a year's purchase. This latter notion was altogether delusive, fir various members of the family had already welcomed him to their hearths and homes, and he had, lived with them graiU for considerable periods, only to leave thtm, not in a hearse, but in a huff, for some other rival relative, whose speculation was doomed in its turn to turn out quite aa unfortunately. Besides his own intrinsic demerits, there wsa thia additional disadvantage in entertaining the old gentleman, that it placed you at daggera drawn with everybody else who had any expectations from him. Bee how 'those crafty Mivinses have got hold of dear Uncle was the general remark in the family, I know, directly he came to Vandeleur-terrace and this feeling was especially fomented by Cousin Grsspall, from whom we bore him sway almost at his last gasp, as thty affirmed, and just when they were about to reap, in bis will, the harvest of many months of servility snd inoonvenientliypocrisy.

He came to us, however, immediately upon our invitation, without repaying them a shilling for all the, expense that he had been to them, and with a number of handsome that these miserable people had bestowed upon him at different times unknown to one another. I Costly gifts i'rom the old Qraspslls, which it must lhave made thtir hearts ache to. purchase walking jstick with a gold handle from the elder son a snufl-'box from the younger; a Wordsworth elegantly bound (a pig would have been better pleased with 'pearl) from one of the young ladies and evens box of pills, with a pieus hope that they would do dearest uncle good," from the very smallest Qraspall. What 1 disliked most in the old gentleman waa his chuck ling over thtse presents, and turning into ridicule 'their unfortunate donors; but besidea his behaviour in thia respect, Uncle Trotter was quite unbearable. In the first place, hit habits were so unpleasant that, rather thsn have him live with us, I would have preferred that Cousin Diok'a Urrier should have occupied lour Spare Room for a permanency, and even brought up there that family ot puppies of whose arrival I waa in agonised expectation throughout her stay.

Then the tionble he cave wsa something incredible; the Syoie Room bell waa always ringing, and meals being eaten there at all hours except those at which the rest of the household were accustomed to take them. He smoked unceasingly, too, and upon one occasion, jthri ate ned to light his pips with the flycatcher, because lucit'ers were brought to him for that purpose in place of wax lights. An angel in the house as life-boarder, would, I believe, be unpleasant to any married woman myself; spinstere may and do tolerate volunteer Icompanica under the same roof, but with us it is dif-jferent heme is not borne unless, for some portion of 'the year at least, we enjoy ir, Darby and Joan fashion, with our husbands. Moreover, as I have hinted, Uncle Trotter was not an angel but rather ihe reverse. He left ut aummaiily, after a domestic fracas, the news of which delighted all the family, both thoae who had lodged and boarded him, and those who hoped to lodge snd board him.

He removed from our root to that ot the Limpe's, who had long been looking out for that happy chance. They were even ao fortunate as to be the la whom Uncle Trotter visited and they received his last sigh. He had nothing else to give them, aa it turned out, for he had aunk the whole of his propeity in a Life Annuity. Our Spare Room was now once more in our hands and began to invite our dear fiiends from the country like an Inn Signboard at election-time. Then Mivins and I determined upon a line of defence that ahould be impregnable we came to, the resolution to let Lodgings to Single Gentltmen.

This wss inconvenient, but so, probably, is the shell of the tortoise it was undignified, but so is digging rifle-pit in the presence of sn enemy it had, however the advantage of insuring safety. It wss a conclusive reply to all persona inviting thcmselvos to No. 1, Tandeleurt lace, that circumstances over which we had no control (and I never wrote a truer sentence) had compelled us to let our Spare Room:" Then I took counsel with my old friend, Mrs. Brown, of the Beige. iwsre Road Lucy Gill as waa when I was Martha Tiivet who, being in reduced circumstances, had commenced the "furnished Apsitment" business two or three yesrs ago, and after several mlsad venture pertsinlng, I suppose, to sll commencements, was succeeding in it to a marvel.

Success was not ao much our object, aa security we wanted lodger, not as a means of livelihood, but simply as garrison. There was therefore very little doubt that we ahould btf easily suited. But don't take very young gentlemen," aaid Mrs. Brown, for such are often in hiding from their relatives, and their relatives sometimes refuse to settle jtheir bills upon their restoration to the domestic 'circle snd don't take very old gentlemen, for they sometimes decease in the home, snd there ia difficulty in getting the parish to bury them." -j This advice seemed rather hard in Lucy (whom I remember all heart, or nearly so), but it was sound, 10 far as it went, and founded upon practical experience, So ws took the first middle-aged gentleman Mr. Adolphus Conroy who rang the front.door bell with an eye to our Spare Room.

The apartment pleased (him, the teims pleated him, my offer to cater for him pleased him, and, in short, he expressed himself and in very appropriate terms aa satisfied with every, thing. After Uncle Trotter, almost sny inmate would have made a favourable impression, but Mr. Conroy was really pattern lodger. Ho was little high im his manner to me, but then how could he know 'that I as not dependent upon his custom, like other landladies Doubtless, thought he regards ma as hvpy who will burn his coals snd drink his tea, snd lay the decrease of his butcher's meat to the account of the cat; so I wss patient with his supercilious ways. He waa really very sice-looking he had, I must say, an aristocratio air about him very different jfrom Mivins who, however, is worth all the aristo-rsts in the world his luggage, was of great bulk, snd jvtry heavy altogether, he was a sort of lodger one couldn't well help looking up to.

His mode of lite was all that could be desired. At about 11 a.m., he left the house, attired In the first style of fashion, and returned at seven to his dinner after which he would kmoks a couple of pipes, snd then retire for the night. He never made a complaint of any sort, nor sny ob. nervation upon' the weekly bills, sava one that they were WrtmiWy chip. Really, Mrs.

You may be all wrong from first to last No the way to find out for certain will be this do you and Brown come and take tea with us this very and then yon shall look through the keyhole of eur Spare Room, and see whether our lodger is the stme ss vour Mr. Somers." 1 "Which if ho Is, I'll baste him," obierved Lucy, taking up hearth- brush, and looking more formidable than I ahould ever have given her credit for. I had never believe any of those stories about Mrs. Brown's complete subjugation of her husband until then, He was once a sergeant-major in the army, and stands sis feet three in his stocking-feet still the power of a eye. is, I believe, almost inconceivable a'U ough it as never necessary for me to use it with Mivins.

I Well, they came these two to Vandeleur-terrase end before we sat down to tea, what do yon think I obairved that there waa something odd about Mrs. Brown's dress, although crinoline dees hide most things she actually had that hearth-brush stuck through her pocket! The' law wouldn't right her, the said, she was determined to right herself with ithe strong hand, in case my lodger was tho man she anticipated. The sergeant-major was to stand in the passage, and seei that he made no I thought this a most dreadful proposition, and insisted upon no such; thing taking place in my house but Mivins, I am sorry to say, opposed me point-blank. He even auggesttd that who had been wronged also by this gentleman, should ssaist Mrs. Brown, while hs himself assisted the sergeant-major in overawing.

I wonder what Aunt Bertha would have said had she hesrd him make such a proposal 1' How earnestly I hoped that my lodger would not oomein that evening, would never come back at all or better still, that he would turn out to be the Mr. Adolphus Conroy which his manners and appearance had always led me to expect the personal description which Mrs. Brown had given of Somen, tallying so accurately with his own, however, that this last hope was very faint indeed. vi 1 I At 6.46, as usual, the unsuspecting man cams home, land we could scarcely prevent the avenging female on jthe first floor from descending upon him forthwith, when she recognised his voice andtep.

The sergeant-imajor, however, represented to her how much sweeter her revenge would be if she waited till he had his 'slippers on, and his pipe alight, and he had made 'himself, as he fondly imagined, comfortable for the ievenins 1 ao ncor Mr. Adolnhus Conrov dined in peace. At eight p.m., the sergeant-major and my husband softly descended into the passage, and stood the one on cne side, the other on the other of our Spare Room doe r. I remained on the stairs, with my heart going pit-a-pat, I can promise you, and wishing what waa coming was well over. 1 The intrepid Luoy stooped down, and looked through the keyhole, "It's Semen," observed she, in a voice trembling with snticirated triumnh: "it's the verv man himself.

He's got bis horrid feet upon the mantle-shelf, just as he used to da in our house sad he's reading the isame volume of Bjron's poems.

I never aaw any man so frightened in my life Mivins, under the idea of burglars, wss quite a Julius Cscssr compared with him. His eye wandered incsolutely from the hearth-brush! to the sergeant-major, and lit upon me at last with really quite a pitiful expression. Oh, Mrs. Mivins," ssid he, I never meant you sny harm. Do, pray, protect me." harm at all," exclaimed my husband, presenting our little account carefully made up to the latest dates no harm at all, if you will settle And thit," added Mrs.

Brown, dropping another 'courtesy, and drawing forth a document of a similar nature. 1 I "I have not got one single farthing," observed Mr. Adolphus Conroy with desperation. i I draw a veil over what followed 1 indeed, I was so upset that I became entirely When I recovered, the sentinels were still at their post Mrs. Brown's colour was rather heightened her hearth-brush was broken in two my unfortunate lodger was" sitting on the csrpet of our Spare Room in a supplicatory attitude.

"I don't ask you to Tote sight of me; Come with me to his house, Mrs. Brow if you will not trust me." 1 Trust you exclaimed that lady with the loftiest scorn. Nevertheless, since there was offered this 'scintilla of hope, she put on her bonnet, and accompanied her victim in.

However, of coune, when we took the place we tonld not tell what might happen, and it waa of no at. hiring a houie only just big enough for ourselves ar.d no more, and that's how we c.me to hare our Spue Room. We are not rich people, Mivins and I but we are in what one may call easy circumstance. that if, we should be so if it were not for that extra ehamber, for my part, and although it does look ioprnceand elegant, I wish were walled up, or thrown into the dining-room (as it might be, only tlat they the doing away with the party-wall would bringdown the house), for really the trouble it In CMt me, and the expense it ha. been to poor dear limns, nobody should be most particular about in the wsyofsdvice" to all young people setting up home-keeping, and especially in town, ia this Whatever house you take, my young friends, whether big or little, be sure you have no such thing as a Spare Room.

If you must look out for contingencies and nothing's worse, as faros my experience goer, or .0 likely to prove dissppoiutiug and provide an apartment in atfeancs, as it were, at least don't famish it. Then you can say to all friends from the country who write to ther are coming through Town always through," even if they a week that you would be above all things delighted to lective them; only you have no extra sleeping accommodation whatever. Of courte, they will reply that snjlhing will do for them 1 that you may litttr them down where yon pleaae that they know hew to rough it, and only require that welcome which they are well awtre they will receive at your hands, (to. The variety of ingenious which these goad 'people give is most extiaordin ary. ut to all of them you can reply, with truth, that it ia a thousand pities, but you have no Spare Room.

Ah, happy pair, who have received a hint to this effect while there was yet time, and profited by it There is a bachelor of my acquaint-snee who haa adopted this course 1 in respect to his drawing-room it ia a very beautiful apartment, but entirely unfurnished, with the trifling exception of a wreath of plaster. flowers on the ceiling, above the place where the chandelier expeeted to king. He enteitaina his unmarried friends, and smoke, in all hi. rooms indifferently but when he is esllednpon by ladies, be tskea them into the drawing-room, and remarks When I marry, this be furnuhed exactly as the lady of my choice shall direct, who, indeed, shall also nave ner way in every otuerpar-tkular." It is extraordinary how respected that man is in domistio ciroles, although he has not the most distant intention of marriage, and would not ex-. anange tne privilege 01 smoking in 111a Dcaroom (as he had onee the indelicacy to confide to me) for five-and-foity wives.

There is, therefore, nothing more advantageous and chesper than an un-fumishtd room while to married persona of smsll income it is indispensable. If they once furnish their Spare Room, it is all over with them their house ia roade a hotel of at once. Knowing you have a Spare' Room," writes Aunt Bertha, I make no apology for craving your hospitality for a few days- ihe May meetings begin at Exeter Hall on the 14th, and I would not miss that desr good man, Mr. Howler, upon any account it is uncertain when his addreia will be delivered, but perhaps Mr. Mivins will be so good as to procure me this information." Aunt Bertha does not think much of poor dear Mivins in his spiritual character, although he never dares breathe ao much to me, who know his real worth, and what a genuine good creature, without one halfpenny worth of cant, he ia but she puts great fsith in hie information regarding everything metropolitan, ever since he once put hir into a 'bus which dropped her at the very door of Mr.

Tabernacle. It is a very difficult matter for my hus. bsnda who is only concerned with city matters, to find out about Mr. Howler, whoso name he has never hesrd in his life but this is the least of the evils Aunt Bertha's coming occasions us. The house is placed under religious martial law for a week certain, and the servants unanimously gave us warning after the first twelve hour, of her.

Then my cousin Dick informs us, by letter, that ho would not stoop to ask a favour of any other persons in the world but ourselves, his character being, as we know, independent to a fault, but that he is very anxious to exhibit a terrier at the Islington dog and feeling sure that we should never forgive his putting up at an inn, why, he will make use of our Spare Room and he ventures to say that we have some sort of a kennel for a little dog that can stand in a corner of tbatapertment, as he dares not let it sleep out of his sight. Sick is certainly a great ohange after Aunt Bertha but, Indifferent guest as she wis, I can scarcely say ho ia an improvement. Be keeps hours which, except that they are always late, are very uncertain, and is not to be trusted to extinguish the light in the lobby, nor even to pat the. chain up, after he has got in wben he does get in a feat which he sometimes finds a Utile difficult.

The last time this occurred, we felt the mere certain of (his, inasmuch th it after about a quarter of an hour the noise altogether ceased, and long aflerwarda our belated guest let himself in quite easily.
