Judgment Before Argument.

Long time ago there dwelt in city Of the West
not far from Pittsburgh, worthy gentleman who
held the responsible office ofjustice of the peace
He knew some little about law. and great deal OF
natural justice. His decisions frequently excited
the indignation Of the young lawyers who pleaded
before him, but he never suffered himself TO be in.
fuenced by the statutes which were brought up a.
gainst his opinions, the indirect threats OF dis.
appointed law expounders. In fact his Office was
q court Of equity in every sense. 1t was useless
TO bring law in opposition to his sense of right
He used to say, ~ am justice, and bound to ad-
minister justice. and no petty technic,lities shall
eser make me decide against the teachings of my
conscience" 1t is hardly necessary to say that
many curious things happened in the Office of this
Independent justice.
A case was one day brought before the squire,
which certainly required his peculiar system OF
administering Justice John Doe had sued Rich
ard Roe for just debt, but Richard had, by the
cid Of an attorney, found loophole by which he
expected to creep out Of the necessity Of payment
The case wore very doubtful aspect, and both
parties employed lawyers to plead for them.
The Squire heard the witnesses patiently, rose
10 his feet, wrote few seconds at his desk seated
himself again, and gave signs of being ready to at
tend to whatever might be said. The counsel for
Incidence made the most OF his quibbe in speech
which lasted an hour. When he had concluded,
sbe plaintiff counsel rose and Iabored and perspi-
red for another hour to overturn the quibble. He
also finished; and then followed slight pause.
The squire sat still, putting segar and apparently
quite at ease. The lawyers both picked up their
hats. looked at each other and then at the notion
less squire. At length the counsel for defendant
spoke. -.
al suppose you'll require day or two to think
about this case. Squire"
"Can't say I'll ever think Of il again." replied
the squire, with an air of mingled incidence and
indifference.
q "What do you mean" inquired the other law.

~ Jske was little buck negro who belonged to
DR. Tslaferro; and was said to have in his little
frame heart as big as General Jackson's--to say
nothingo of Napoleon Bonsparte and lack Tayl lor
He didn't fear even Old Nick; apd as for GOODNESS;
be was % cool as the tip-top OF the North Pole.
=, One day, Dr.. Tsliaferro. upon occasion of the
scommencement Of Medical College. of which he
bheld the chair of Anatomy, gave . dinner
Among his guests was we'll knewn ventriloquist
Late 10 the evening, after the bottle had done its
work, the conversation turned upon courage, and
the DOCTOR boasted considerably Of the lion-heart
sof his favprte man, Jake. He offered to bet that
nothing could scare him; and this bet the ventro.
quist took up naming at the same time the test he
wanted imposed. Jake was sent for and came.
& '.Jake," said the Doctor, 81 have bet large
sum Of money on your head. and you must win IT,
Do you think you cant"
.'Berry bell, marster," replied Jske, '.jest tell
dis nigga what he's to do an he'll do it. shore"
~ want you TO &, to the dissecting room.-
You will find two dead bodies there. Cut of the
head Of one with large knife which you will find
there, and bring it to u.s. You must not take a
light, however, and don't get frightened"
'.Dat's al, is it," inquired Jake. "Oh! berry
bell III do dat shore for sartin; and as for being
frghten. the debbI heself aint gwine to frighten

y Jake accordingly set off, and reaching the dis
secting room, CROPPED about, until he found the
knife and the bodies. He had just applied the fdr-
mer TO the neck Of one OF the latter. when from
the body he was about to decapitate hollow and
sepulchral voice exclaimed
'Lef my head alone!''
- sYes, sah." replied Jake, 81 aint 'ticlar; and
tuddcr head II do jes as we'll"
He accordingly put the knife to the neck of the
next colpse, when another voice. equally unearth-
ly in its tone, shrieked out
'.Let my head aione!"
Jake was puzzled at first; but answered presently.
sLook yah! Master TolIiver sed must bring
one oh de heads, an you isn't gwine to tool me,
no how!' and Jake hacked away until he separated
the head from the body. Thereupon half dozen
voices screamed out
f"Bying it back bring ii back"
Jake had reached the door, but on hearing this
turned round, aud said
s'.Now-now. see yah! Jes you keep quiet,

"Bring back my head at onet7" cried the voice.
'.Tend to you, right away. sah!" replied Jake.
