A WESTERN Court ScENE.-By Jerry
.No6s-Judge B OF Missouri, was in
many respects remarkable man. He stood
six feet too in his boots, and was as fond of
a frolic as the most rattling lad in the coun-
try. He could drink more liquor 'lfl'
heavier 'bag o. meal and play better
game of poker than any man in the Cir
cut. These admirable qualifications, Of
course, rendered him the most popular Judge
on the bench of his State. Yet he never
lost his dignity while on the bench. There,
he was stern, naughty, and digni6ed. The
least approach to familiarity, while he was
sitting in court, was always resented by a
fine, and sometimes by imprisonment.
Well, it happened one dav, while he was
'holding court that Mr.. Dewzenbury, a
rough looking, but independent customer,
came into the court room, with his hat on
his head This the Judge considered an in
dignity offered to the court, and forthwith
ordered Mr.. D. to take off his hat.
To this Nj. Dewzenbury paid no atten-
ton, which being observed by 'his honor,
he ordered the sheriff TO take that man S

THE TRIAL AND EXECUTION OF
CHARLOTTE CORDAY.

CHARLOTTE CORDAY.
When she was seated on the bench of the
prisoners, she was asked if she had de-
fender. She replied that friend had I'M
deriaken this office, but not seeing him, she
supposed his courage had failed him. The
president then assigned her the young Chau-
veau Legarde, afterwards illustrious by his
defence of the Queen, and already famous
for his eloquence and courage in causes and
times when the advocate shared the peril of
his client. Chauveau Lagarde placed him
self at the bar. Charlotte gazed on him, as
though she feared lest, to save her life, her
defender would abandon some part of her
honor.
The widow of Marat wept while giving
her evidence. Charlotte, moved by her grief,
exclaimed
Yes, yes-'twas that killed him.
She then related the Fermentation of the
act tor three months; her project Of stab
bling him in the Convention and the ruse

Il confess said she, with humility, 'ha,

'What did you hope to effect by killing
him?'
'Restore peace TO my country

Since he is dead, perhaps the others will
tremble.'
The knife was shown her, that she might
recognise it. She pushed it from her with a
gesture of disgust.

Judge -- had effected settlement
OF accounts with one of his neighbors, a
very parslmonlous man, and it was found
impossible to make correct change within
three cents, which the judge said he would
hand to the other at any subsequent period.
Some days after, while the judge was upon
the bench, and in the midst of cause, the
avarlcions nei ghbor, whose brains could not
rest while the three cents were absent from
his pocket, appeared in the courtroom, and
with slight ceremony, beckoned to his deb
tor to grant him an interview. The Judge,
who was so unfortunate as to stutter some

the applicant. and arrested the progress of

SHAKESPEARE'S VIOLETS.
By C. SWAIN.
sLike the sweet South
That breathes upon bank of vlolets,
Stealing and giving odor.''
Sweet violets-the morning bids
Ye ope your silken eyes,
And shake the moisture from your lids,
AS star of dew
On heavens blue,
Or atom of the skies -
Unclose those velvet lids and see
Who comes by Avon's stream.
The light of whose divinity
Would break an angels dream!
TITS Shakespeare dips
Your purple lips
In inspirations's beam!
Oh gifted fowers-oh ! glorious hues,-
The golden morning saith
Oh ! magic of the poets muse
That triumphs over death,
And keeps the mind
Of all mankind
Still listening to his breath!
The affairs of great Jove are gone
So earthly idols bend.
The pyramids shall one by one
Beneath the sands descend:-
But we, sweet flowers,
Shall wreathe the hours
OF man-till nature end
Awake, violets, ye virgin throng!
Awake, renown to claim
New married to immortal song,
New linked to Shakespeare fame:
The world shall bless
That loneliness
Which shrines so dear name!

oEElNG THE PANORAMA =; OR, HOW Mr.
LARKINs CAME NEAR GETTING HIS MONEYS
WoRTH.-The editor of the Pinsburg Sum-
dag .uercury ( Mr.. jones' tells the following
good one, as happening at an exhibition now
in that city.
Larklns is money-making man, and
calculating man, and when he goes to any
expense, ne expects to get the worth of his
money.
The other night Larkins took Mrs. Lar
klns to see Donnavan's great Panorama.
The two tickets cost the round sum Of fifty
cents, and as the money was freely paid, it
may be inferred that Larkins had been read
ing, and had fully believed, the praises of
this exhibition, which have been published
in the daily papers.
When the picture commenced moving,
Larkins took out his pencil, and began to
cipher on the programme which he held in
his hand.
They say it is two miles long in this
bill,' said he, 'and if it should pass in less
than two hours, I'll set it down for hum
bug. 4 show that doesn't last two hours
isn't worth quarter. However, Ell soon
figure it out
Larkins took out his watch and shutting
one eye, began to calculate at the rate the
the Pan Drama was moving.
Now, my dear, I'll have it. lve ascer-
tanned the rate of progress exactly let me
see-fve and half yards make one rod,
pole or perch-nought's nought-fve and
carry two -
All at once he dropped the pencil and
looking Mrs. Larkins full in the face, ex-
claimed in voice which made half the au-
dience turn around:
wife we're in for it and no mistake y
Hush don't talk SO loud my love said
Mrs. Larkins. 'What on earth's the mat
ter p
'The Natter replied Larkins, 'why,
we've bought our tickets, and we are bound
to stay till the thing lets out!'
well what of that? Pm sure the pic
.ure looks very nce.'
1T does, does it ? cried Larkins the cold
perspira.ion starting from his brow. Il can
tell you, you'll have enough of it then. IFS
nowjus half:past eight-nought's nought
six and carry-if that cursed thing two
miles long we'll get out TOMORROW euening
Exactly at sun DOZEN! In PHYS name what
will become of the poor children:'
And good thing it was for those two
dear little pledges left at home, with nobody
to take care Of them but thoughtless nurse,
that Larkins made mistake in his figures,
or that the Panorama was not quite two
miles long-we don't know which. Had
the calculation been all right, the little dears
would have seen no pa-nor ma either

calculating and money making man, and

DoN'r HURRY HAGGINs.-This proverbi-
al Kentucky phrase, originated in the adj
dition Of curious protecting clause to
note given by the worthy Mr.. H. After the
usual promise to pay in ten months with
interest, value received, Sc, following pro-
mise was prudently subjoined-'and it is
expressly understood that in the payment of
the said note, said Haggins is not to be hur-
ried.'

PRUNING PEACH Transforming the
peach is very little practiced, simply because
Its great advantages are generally unknown.
Most cultlvators however, must have notic-
ed the great difference in the size of the
peaches, and still more in their quality,
grown in one case upon young and thrifty
trees, and in the other on old and strunted
ones. Old trees might be rendered thrifty
and productive Of large delicious fruit if
regular system Of pruning were kept up
The tendency in the growth of this tree,
when neglected, is to form long and bare
branches, with leaves and fruit only at the
extremiies, shutting out the light from the
rest of the tree, attended with slow and d.
mnutive growth. Judicious pruning, by
shortening in, commenced while the tree
lis young, and continued yearly, will pre-
serve round handsome head to the tree,
and young and thrifty shoots will start from
all parts of the branches, even down to their
very commencement at the upper extremity
of the trunk. Old trees have, in some instan-
ces, been much benefited, by the rough and
unskilful trimming by winds, and new and
healthy branches have sprung up and borne
finely on old and stunted trees which had
thus been accidentally relieved of a part of
their useless limbs. A. J. Downing says :
1--WE have seen two trees of the same age side
by side, one unprnned and the other regular
ly shortened in, and both bearing about four
bushels. The fruit of the latter was. how
ever, of double the size, and ncomparably
finer.' A similar experiment, made the past
season by the writer was attended with quite
has great success.

GARDEN AUToMAToN.-AtE uston, in OK
lordshire, England, there is garden with
many curious ingenuiies, which are very
amusing. On approaching a certain spot a
hermit rises from the ground, and entertain
ing one with meat and appropriate speech,
sinks down like Jack in box. There is
a small rock ky island in the midst of lake,
which is full of wa,ery tricks. The visiter
is politely requested to walk up and view
this spot, and after satisfying his curiosity,
and proceeding TO walk down again, the
foun,aineer hobs down, turns a cock, and
sends jets d'eau flying on all sides of the
victim, one stream having for its object his
legs, and another his head. After this re-
ceplion, he is conducted TO look at spaniel
hunting duck, by the force of waler-lhe
automalons diving and pursuing each other
by turns. Beyond is grotto; hedge of
sparkling Jets of water rises from the ground
to guard it; mimic cascades foam down in
tiny ca,aracts, and countless streams shoot
up, and appear to lose themselves by being
caught in their return, and not suffered to
fall down again. Here, too, nightingale
discourses liquid music, and arched jets of
water with one another, and now and then
delightful showers tell the visiter that it
sometimes rains when the sun shines.

MUSICAL FIsHEs.-Aquatc animals are
generally supposed destitute of the means
Of making themselves heard and if they
communicate with each other, it is usually
supposed that ii must be otherwise than by
sound. The seal, has, it is believed, pc
culiar and distinct cry; and the grampus
snorts as it attains the surface. Frogs and
other amphbious animals croak loud and
long enough; but in all these cases the
sounds are emitted, not under, but above the
water, and by creatures rarely more than
half aquatic. The cetaceous races have
warm blood, and suckle their young and
fishes so called, are considered as we shall
presently show, enormously, silent race
The long-eared BaaIami,e is justly reck on
ed the strangest ass mentioned in history.
and seal v creature emitting sounds may
truly be reckoned very odd fish indeed
A party lately crossing from the promotory
in Salse,te, called the MEATS Tongue, to near
Sewree, were about sunset, struck by hear
ing long and distinct sounds like the pro-
,racted booming of distant bell, the dying
cadence of an EoIian harp, the note of a
pitchpipe or pickfork, or any other long
drawn-out musical note. 1t was at frs,
supposed to be music from Parel floating at
intervals upon the breeze; then it was per-
ceved TO come from all directions almost
in equal strength, and to arise from the sur
face the water all around The vessel. The
boatmen at once ntimaled that the sounds
were produced by fish Astounding in the mud
dy creeks and shoals around Bombay and Sal
settle; they were perfectly well-known, and
very often heard. Accordingly, on inclin-
ing the ear towards the surface of the water,
or better still by placing it close to the
planks of the vessel, the o'es appeared long
and distinct, and followed each other in con-
slant succession. This fish is about the
size of perch.
