This case will probably come before the
next General Sessions. In the mean time
aprivate rehearsal of it took place in the
chamber Of Lawyer H, on Saturday
last. On that day Doctor W. d
p Place, called on Lawyer -
with his bill, and requested payment for
i. Lawyer II, who dearly loves
briefs, thought the DOCTORS bill was not
brief enough, and according, took several
exceptions to it, and demurred against
paying 1t. The doctor, on the other hand,
quoted several medical authorities, to show
that the bill was most eyuitablo one, but
the lawyer insisted that medical men
knew little or nothing about equity, and
neither in law or equity was he bound to
pay It. Such special pleading did not,
however, satisfy the doctor, and he put in
"a rejoinder to it, which so irritatod the
lawyer, that he altogether forgot his ordi-
nary civil prectice, and rushed to the door
Of the room and fastened it, and then tax
ing up case of loaded pistols, he handed
one OF them to the doctor, and told him
that as they were both gentlemen BY pro-
iession, the matter should be settled in
stanter, and the bill paid off with "blood
tor blood" The Dr., however, declined
the honorable invitation, and declared he
never drew blood from any one but his pa
tients, and as the lawyer evidently was
not patient at present, he might retain
ms blood for some other opportunity. The
Doctors GOODNESS only Increased the law

IN, rendered the case so urgent one, that

BEING IN LOVE.

The epoch Of being in love. notwith-
standing all, is the most agreeable in the
whole course of life. The soul has then
no waving to crafty existence is at its
highest premium, for it is then we are far
thest from Indifference. 1t is Better and
pleasanter thing than money getting or
courtship, or sullen study, or maddening
ambition. There are solitary objects; be-
ing IN love is participated with another,
and therefore is a more social pleasure.
The romantic tinge which often coors our
conduct is an agreeable characteristic: it
increases the attraction, and confers d
hallowed charm upon the passion. Being
IN love IS a restraint upon evil feelings---a
situation favorable to virtue. The love of
woman is correction of mans perverse
nature, end while its season lasts, il al
ways mends the heart. The memory of
that delicious season, its little adventures,
hopes, fears and enioyments, always comes
over us with a rush ofpleasing warmth
sun beam piercing the clouds of depar
ted time and irradiating TOR a moment the
hearts darkness. Being in love mingles
us with the better things of life-keeps
beautiful forms perpetually before the eye
las pleasing dreams--elevates the spirit
cur views It tempts mans han
kerlng disposition with the gentleness Of
beauty and snbdues his proud spirit to the
of tears and careless of mild !
ness and persuasions. In short, being in
love is sort Of millennium, far above all
LIES other good; and he who has never
it is a miserable animal, who
IS ignorant of the highest Joy this distcn-
Dered life possesses for mortals. -lSout6cyn

For peace is with the dead, and piety

Could find no rest. He taking her cold hand,
Raised her, and would have spoken; but his

In tndcr-tone compassionate her name.
The voice of pity south'd and mcltod her.

THE INTERESTING YOUNG LADY.

l y
Whoever is al all in the habit Of goine
to evening parties must have frequently
observed, sitting ON the sofa by the fire
side, with an air of the most profound me
anehQly, the interesting young lady. She
/ is generally damned in between two TAI
old ladies, who talk across her, But in
lwhose conversation she neyer bears d part
Her facets usually long, something be
tween tallew and spermaceti in complex
ION. a long cork-screw ringlet bangles
down at each side, round which she occa.
sionally twists her fore finger in solemn
melo-dramatic style. Evidently her tho'ts
are star away" She never utters syl-
liable to any one. Now and then she wrin-
kles her forehead, just to denote the in
tense misery that is passing within. Her
postnre,so far as can be contrved between
two fat old ladies, is essentially pictures
que; her head thrown back in delight
fully negligent manner; her eyes turned
up to the ceiling; and her legs crossed,
with the toe ssanting downwards straight
as ruler, and one Of her hands thrown
carele$sly on her lap, upside down.
AT each introduction she bows in the
most elegant style Imaginable. A gra-
cious smile lights up her features for mo-
nent, after which she relapscs into her
former Unconscious state Of profound
thoughtfulness. Blue, diversified with
white, is her constant dress; not an orna-
ment is to be seen, except that little sim
pie black cross. which gives the final touch
TO her interesting appearance, making her
look like the most touching of all beings,

We clip the following pi9uant COM
Ipliment to the bank-representative,
from the leading paper in Portland, his
native place. After the speech just
made by Mr.. p, which the Rodney
Telegraph say, ''resembled great FIRE

the Portland suggestion should be a.
dopted. Subscriptions should be imme-
diately opened for building the 0reser-

wards the expense:-B.
dts great pity that some adyen-
turous Yankee does not set about in
venting a machine for reporting the
speeches of Mr.Prentiss, the new NJ. C.
from Mississippi, without which his elo-
quence must be lost to the whole world,
saving only the few who happen to be
in the Capitol when he holds forth.
He made a speech here a year and a
half since, which the Gazette said
could not be repotred, and which beg
CARED language to do it justice. BY
an article in last nights Gazette, we
perceive that he has made just such a.
mother at Memphis, Tenn, which is
said to be powerful beyond descrip-
ton" Its a great pity that such a
deluge Of burning eloquence should be
lost, partic llarly as it is so superior to
to any thing uttered by any other man.
lfno other plan for saving it can be
devised, he ought to be required to
speak into reservoir, from which small
'tcams might be permitted to flow into
distant parts of the world, particularly

AT least one-half Of all the business
prepared for the action ofCongrcss was
left unfinished at their adjournment on
Monday. So much for the nine DAYS
speeches Of such members as Mr.. Bond,
the disorganizing efforts Of John @.
Adams, the speaking against time Of
Wise, Prentiss, and others Of the Wing
party. Seven months have been spun
out by a reckless opposition in a con-
slant war against every measure Of the
Administration. 1t was only enough
that any proposition, no. matter how
simple, was brought forward on The
Government side and it was sure to
bring some Wing speaker to his feet.
II IS thus that the time Of Congress has
been wasted and onc-half Of tie public
besiness left unfinished. And such
must continue to be the case at all fu-
ture sessions SO long as the country is
cursed with an opposition in venal al
lance with The banks and money pow

TO THE PEOPLE.

| We have carefully perused the able
speech Of the talented young Senator, Mr.
ALLEN, Of Ohio, on the bill to separate
| the Government from the banks.
Mr.. Allen has shewn in mastery man
ner, not only the wisdom, but the expedi.
ency of such separation, and at the same
time, exposed the most glaring miscon-
duct Of the Bank Of the United States,
without prejudice or favor.
We may well say, Ohio has cause to be
proud of such a man, and that in him the
cause of Democracy will find bold and
eloquent advocate.
The following extract is from Mr.. AL
LENS speech, delivered in the Senate of
the United States, Feb. 90, 1898:
SIN the year 1890, the United States
Bank loaned to SO members Of Congress.
the sum Of $l92,l6l 90
In 1881, to 50 members, 322, l95 90
In 1882, to A do. 47S.766 00I
In 1888, to Sc do. 374.766 DOL
In 1884, to SO do. 23S,5s6 DOL
Thus ending the panic session Of '34 the
bank ofthe United States, struggling for
of its charter, distributed in |
leans Sl.647,0Sl to 265 members Of Con-
gress!!!
A sum greater than the aggregate sal
aries Of all the members Of both Houses of
Congress, during the same period of five
years, and equal to one-fifteenth part Of
the whole annual revenues and expendi-
lures Of the Federal Government.-lNn-
