as affectionate as that Of a rabid man towards
bowl of water, he hung his head in confusion
and modification, and was nearly deaf 10 the
words of the Indictment; but he heard enough
of the long complicated, tangled sentences to
learn that the was charged with stealing, ol
embezzling, or cheating, or pilfering some
house or somebody. and he counldn't tell exact
ly which.
"What does he say to the charge Guilty
or not guilty inquired the Judge, peeping oven
his spectaces, with a look cold enough to
freeze mans blood. Guilty or not Guilty 2
The young man venturOd to look up, in
hopes to find sympathsing eye, but all
were cold and unfriendly, and he again gazed
on the sawdusted floor, and trembled with
confusion
"Guilty or not guilty." again vociferated
the Judge, in tone that plainly denoted I'M
patience to proceed with the case.
The broad-shouldered constable, being rath-
er humane man, now stepped up to the
prisoner, and exclaimed

Just at this moment the front door opened,

IT Haint been Steelin' Nothin

A rich incident occurred short time since,
in one of the county courts in Vermont, which
We consider too good to me lost.
Many of the jury, together with the judge,
and lawyers, were intending to participate in
celebration of society of which they Were
members, and were consequently--in their
anxiety to close the term-rushing cases
through with all the dispatch that honor and
justice would permit.
AT halfpast twelve o'clock, one day, an in
termission for half an hour for dinner was
granted, with strict injunction from the Judge
that "all hands" must be back punctually at
one o'clock, to commence a new case of lar
ceny
The dinners, that day, were swallowed with
greateraapidity than usual, and as the clock
struck one, the officers of the law rushed into
court like chickens into mea-tough.
While they were eating their dinners, how
ever, young man from the 'keontry," being
somewhat anxious to see the manner in which
justice was meted out, walked into the court
room, and, as he afterwards expressed himself,
" took squint at all the Seats and seein there
wasn't nobody in the incest one, with a railin'
all around it, fore the fellows got back from
dinner"
In five minutes after the crowd entered the
room the Judge raped the desk with the butt
end of his jack-knife, and with dinifed frown
cried
Silence in the court!"
"Sence in the court" repeated the broad
shouldered constable, leaning on the railing
In front of his honor, Immediately resumed
the occupation of picking his teeth with a
pin.
@Silence in the courtln echoed the squeak
ing tones Of a small, red-headed constable near
the door; and the latter speaker Immediately
commenced elbowing the crowd right and
left, to let them know that he was around.
Already /" replied the judge.
"All readyl" replied the attorney.
Command the prisoner to stand upw
says the judge, "whie the indictment is being
read
The broad-shouldered constable now walked
up to the prisoners box, during the apparent
inomentary absence Of the sheriff, placed his
hands on the shoulder Of the young man, and
exclaimed
"stand up."
"What fur9 !" said the astonished young
farmer.
ITO hear the charge readl" exclaimed the
constable.
"Wall, guess ] kin hear what's goin' Oh
without standin,' as well as the rest on 'en,
was the reply.
"Stand upl ronred the Judge, in burst
of passion --he had just bit his tongue while
picking his teeth; young man, stand up !
Or The consequences be upon your own head"

A BIBLICAL CRITIc.-The best specimen
of original criticism we ever heard was in a
stage coach ride to Berry Edge. Three Of us
were talking about Adam aud his fall. The
point of discussion was the apparent impos-
sibility that perfect man like Adam could
commit sin.
Bat he wasn't perfect9' - calculated one Of
the three.
Wasn't perfects" we calculated in amaze
ment.
mo, sir, he wasn't perfect" repeated our
commentator
What do you mean ?" we asked.
"Well," answered the authority, he was
made perfect, | admit, but he didn't stay per-
feet"
"How 2"
Why, was not one of his ribs removed
If he was perfect with all his ribs, he was not
perfect after loosing one-was he, say I"
Our say was silence. We were convinced
then, that woman was the cause of mans orig
inal imperfecton.- Oatshop (Eng) Observer.

LIFE IN CAIRO, ILL.-A correspondent of
the Evansville Journal furnishes the following
vivid description of life in the little city at the
mouth of the Ohio:
Five or six Dutch and an equal number of
Natives assembled at a bowling saloon, in this
neighborhood last Sabbath evening, and after
partakiug rather freely OF that Cairo beverage
Schneidam Shhnapps, pitched into one anoth-
er, and had regular fight Axes, pistols,
clubs and dernicks were employed for few
moments in very industrious, quick and
lively manner, until the former party van
pushed, when in order to creditably keep up
the rumpus, the latter individuals attacked
and fought each other until all were whipped
into respectable soberness. Each betook
himself away from the scene nursing bunged
eye or flattered snout, heartily cursing the
invigoration cordial" and hattering himself
with the idea that if he did get his eye black
ened or probocis disfgured, he had generously
given his antagonist about "volue received"
A Frenchman dissatisfied with the fare of
Cairo Hotel, gave vent to his Indignation, the
other day in the following style:
/" say landlord, you have one very good
house, by gar, for horse, but not much for
a gentleman. | stop with you three days for
four dollars and fifty cents. | have been sick
during that time, and when ask you for
chicken soup, by gar, you seud me beef soup
with the horns in it. leave this very much
city, and for yourself, you are one d---d
domestic.p
A shout from the bystanders told the effect
as the Frenchman turned away, when the land
lord wisely thought that his hope of redemp-
ton from the slur, lurked in his liquor, so the
next sensible remark was, gentlemen, what
will you take"
