been this Fall. Allow me to Introduce TO you
my young friend, Mr. H., who ntends to prac-
tee IN our circuit.
The old lady drew herself up to her full
height, and with a COuntenance expressing the
utmost Indignation, replied: Judge =,
you are the last person from whom should
have expected such treatment. You might, at
least, have spared me this insult in my own
house."
"Insult, Mrs. L. sad the Judge, with the
greatest astonishment 'What Is the mean.
ing of all thisl am entirely unconscious OF
having done anything to injure your feelings
in the least"
"You are, indeed" replied our hostess "Do
you not regard it as an insult TO a lady, to in
troduce to her such n worthless creature as
that" pointing to H., who stood by the side Of
the Judge, cap in hand, and lost in utter
amazement at this unexpected attack upon his
character
"Why, Mrs l.. )" continued the Judge, "ths
is Mr.. H., one Of the most respectable young
gentlemaR in our country, You certainly must
have"
"Respectable indeed" interrupted our land
lady in scornful and indignant manner. 4

And you, Judge p, to be travelling in
company with such Il creature. never would
have believed il, mad not beheld II with my
own eyes.
MY dear Madame" said H., stepping for
ward, "you are mislaken---sone one nusl have
been imposing on you"
"Don'L dear madame, me--Vou brazen idced
trolop," exclaimed the old lady "How dare
you come into my house? Out Of my house

"Surely, Mrs. L." said the Judge, cndeavOr-

strange mistake about all this. | assure you
that you are entirely mistaken in your surnse.
This young gentleman is we'll known to all the
members OF our bar. Mr., f. you are we'll ac-
quqinted with Mr.. Fl; Where is Mr. F.?
The Judge looked around, but all had dis
appeared save the actors of this ludcrous scene.
As soon as we saw that matters were coming
to a crisis, we all left the room, and going round
the house placed ourselves in position where
we could hear all that was going on within,
without any danger of being discovered.
lu the meantime, Mrs. h., insisted that the
Judge and H., should both leave the house.
Not being able to find any one to aid them
IN their extremity, and despairing Of convinc-
ing her OF the mistake she was laboring under
they mounted their horses and rode to the mex,
house.
As soon as they had departed we returned ia
the house, and complimented the old lady OH
the resolution and spirit she had shown on this
! trying occasion.
( As she had now successfully repealed this as.
saull Oh her dignity and the character Of hei
house, by driving out the invaders, she soor
became restored to her usual equanimty. She
repeatedly declared during the evening, that
nothing but her own eyes would convince her
such had been her esteem for the character Of
| Judge t She declared that under the
same circumstances she would have driven
from her house the President Of the United
States.
That night F. slept in the bed reserved for
the Judge, and RECALLED himself with many lit.

/ In truth, we who remained, were treated with
unusual attention, The Judge, who soon an
ravelled the mystery, was for short time very
/ Indignant; but being very sensitive to ridicule,
he pIomShcd forgiveness upon condition that
we would not tell the story on the circuit.
/ H, however, said it was too good TO keep
although he was the principal sufferer.
Our hostess was for long time unappeasa

the mediation OF a handsome silk dress.
