The convict drew forth Fine Ear

times, and then placed him within the

he said in broken voice:
"If do not return be kind to him. !"
Then having armed himself with al,
enormous bar Of iron, he ma, ched with

the rebels hurled at his head. With
a few blows of the bar he made the

GUILTY BUT DRUNK.
Dan Marbles Story OF the Georgia Judge.

Dan hierbies story OF the Georgia Judge.
Many years ago. while the State Of
Georgia was yet in its infancy, an &C.
centric creature, named Brown, was
one Of its Circuit Judges. He was a
man Of considerable ability, of inAexi-
BILE integrity, and much beloved and
respected by all the legal profession,
but he had one common fault. His
social qualities would lead him, despite
his judgment, into frequent excesses.
In travelling the Circuit, it was his al
most invariable habit, the night before
opening the court, to get comfortably
corned,' by means of appliances COM
mon upon such occasions. IF he could
not succeed while operating upon his
own hook, the gentlemen Of the bar
would generally turn out and help him,
1t was in the spring Of the year, TAX
ing his wife--a model of woman in
her way-in the old fashioned, but
strong 'carryall,' that he journeyed
some forty miles, and reached the vii
laSe where the court was to be open
ed next day. 1t was along in the eve-
ming of Sunday that he arrived at the
place, and took up quarters with le-
lation Of his better half,' by whom the
presence Of the official dignitary was
considered singular honor. After
supper Judge Brown strolled over to
the only tavern in the town, where he
found many old friends. called 10 the
place, like himself, on important pro-
fessional business, and who were prop
erglad to meet him.
Gentlemen" said the Judge, tbs
quite long time since we have enjoy
ed glass together--let us take a horn
all round. Of course, Sterritt lad
dressing the landlord,) you have bet
ter liquor than you had the last time
we were here-the stuff you had then
was not fit to give dog"
Sterritt, who had charge of the
house, pretended that every thing was
right, and SO they went to work. 1t is
unnecessary to enlarge upon drinking
bout in country tavern-it will quite
answer our purpose to state that some
where in the region Of midnight, the
judge wended his very devious way
towards his temporary home. About
the time he was leaving. however, some
younger barristers, fond of spracti-
cal joke and not much afraid of the
bench, transferred all the silver spoons
of Sterritt's to the Judges pocket.
1t was eight o'clock on Monday
morning that the Judge rose. Having
induleed in the process Of ablution and
abstersion, and partaking Of cheerful
and refreshing breakfast, he went to
his room to prepare himself for the du-
tics of the day. ssa st
"Well Polly" said he to his wife,
Il feel much better than Iexpected 10
feel after that frolic Of last night"
.Ah, Judge" said she reproachfully,
.you are getting too oid--you ought

. "Ah, Polly. what's the use Of talk

IT was in this precise instant Of time
that the Judge, having put on his over.

usual custom, to give his wife part

And thoughts Of innocence for angels meet

No noiseless gliding, as on sin intent

And His lips parted With holy smile,
When, with their upward, sunny gaze, drew
The little fearless forms Of infancy
Ah, blessed little ones! Their rosy charms
Leaned on His bosom, all unpaled BY fear
Sercncly resting in His mighty arms
Who framed the glory ofcach starry sphere
No thoughts Of sinful years for them uprosc
No grief or shame to mar their sweet repose
Then let his lowly followers not disdain

Manufacture OF Pills.

As we are decidedly pill-taling people
in The United States, il lns long been sub
jrct of 10 little consideration among mann.
iariurers, how the material could be kept

edly been put in requisition, hut still the de-
mii1i has thus far exceeded the ability OF
pill.denl'rs to meet. A mortiiying confess

seriously think of disputing the assertion
that we are pill devouring nation. II is II
