LONDON LITERARY LIONS OF THE DAY.
In charming mansion in St. James place,
secluded some what from the roar and tumnll

poet Of the "Pleasures of Memory" whose

his bald, ripe forehead.) disquali6es him
from taking his long accustomed walks

Impudent peltifoggers, as our readers

brow beating Of Witnesses. Here is new
instance In Justices Courl 'down-easl'
a trial was under way for lrespass IN cutting
wood from a neighbours premises wi.hou,
authority. One of the plainnf's witnesses
was plain old farmer, whose testimony
went clearly and directly to prove the
charge. The defendants counsel, blus-
lering man of brass, after the most approved
fashion of country pe''ifoggers. thought to
weaken The force Of his evidence by proving
idiocy to be trait Of his family. He ,here-
fore interrogated him thus: 'Mr,- you
have a son who is an idiot, have you not !?
Yes, Sir Does he know any thing -
Very Iiule.' How much does he know p

you don The witness was allowed TO re-

YOU'VE SIGHTED ME.
BY E. w. ELLSWORTH.
With rose in my button, persuaded to rove
Away DER the meadow, my Jenny to see;
My heart was as faithfully honest in love,
As ever lassie could need it to be.
J whstlpd, and sang, and swung my cane,
Thinking of nothing at all but Jane;
And there in the garden greeted my bird,
But imagine my wonder at what heard
"Charey," said she, "you've slighted me-
You We sighted me
You've sghted me:
Charley" said she, ''you'v sighted me-"
o answer me quickly when was 1t, and where !?
By every planet of glimmering fire
l vow, protest, assever, and swear,
Jane is the Joy of my darling desire
Awaiting me nothing was telling her so;
Twitching her bonnet she turned to go;
Turning, she went, and turned once more,
With her hand on the handle of the door:
''Charley,' said she, "you've sighted me-
You've slighted me
You've sighted me;
Charley" said she, ''you've sighted me-
Besieged with blue-devils, and dying at heart,
Sorrowing sorely, tarried away;
Eating nor sleeping, and moping apart,
Fill over the meadow, with careful cane,
Came the grandmother of my Jane:
"Ah, Charley. ah, cruel you re killing her fast

Blackberry cordial is made by adding one
pound Of white sugar TO three pounds Of

produce Of those Eastern lands where men
are temperate both by the influence Of the

poor sinner was doomed to commit one Of
three great sins, and had his choice which
he would fall into. The first sin was mur-
der; The second was not, bu. it was some
thing very bad, though we csnno. now re-
member exactly what i! was and the third
was to get drunk. THIS poor sinner, lef.
TO his own weak, unassi.ted judgment, ven-
tured on getting drunk, as being in appear.
ance free Of the atrocious character Of the
two other crimes offered 10 him, and per-
haps being TO his taste not wholly abhor-
rent. He made his selection, and got drunk,
and then committed the other two crimes
as accompanlmenls to the crime of his
choice.
