An Apology.

When John Clark Lord Elden) was at
the bar, he was remarkable for the sang
frOid with which he treated the Judges
On one occasion, a Junior counsel, on
hearing their lordships give Judgment
against his client, exclaimed that she was
surprised at such decision!' This was
construed into contempt of court, and he
was ordered 10 attend at the bar next NOR
ming. Fearful of the consequence, he
consulted his friend John Clark, who told
him to be perfectly at ease, for HE would
apologize for him in way that would
avert any unpleasant result. Accordingly,
when the name of the delinquent was call
ed, John rose and coolly addressed the
assembled tribunal: Il am very sorry,
my lords, that my young friend has SO far
forgot himself as to treat your honorable
bench with disrespect; he is extremely
penitent. and you will hardly ascribe his
unintentional insult to his ignorance. Y on
must see at once that il did originate III
that. He said he was surprised at the
decision of your lordships! Now if he
had not been very ignorant of what takes
place at this court every day, had he
known you but half so long as have, he
would not be surprised at any thing you
did,

A new conner in country village is
always sure to elicit more or less curiosity
and Mrs. Norton did not escape without
her due share from the inhabitants OF
Grassmere. Withtelegraph speed it was
found out that she was a lady between
thirty and forty years of age, dressed in
bombazinc and wore close mourning caps.
Miss Norton was talked of as slender
fair girl with blue eyes and long flowing
