nish forth an entertainment abounding with
the soul and point Of lnmnr Many OF these
little legends yet float around the scenes which
gave birth 10 them, and serve sometimes 70
give rest to bar dinner, or TO enliven bar
meeting. Among them is the following:
Judge b, a plain and worthy man,
but no lawyer, was once County Judge Of
Oakland, under The old system. A cause came
on for trial before him on one occasion, IN
which the action was founded in tort, and the
plea Of the defendant, which was special, was
such as to give him the affirmative Of the issue
upon the strength Of which he claimed the
right to open and close the ease. This point
was denied by the counsel for the plaintiff
"who never in the whole course Of his practice
had heard Of such an enornity as the defen-
danfs presuming to open the case" Author
Ties were brought ard cited, however, and the
Judge, after mature consideration, determined
that such was the defendants right and SO
pronounced his decision. After a short pause
during which the plaintiff was grumbling his
dissatisfaction, the court told the defendants
lawyer TO 90 on.
"Your honnor," said he, rising 81 am not
duite ready to open this ease--when ] get
ready / WiH lei The ofher side kloW ]" This
opened, II not the case, ut least the eyes and
mouth of the "other Ade"--who sprang 20 his
feet and beloved forth an awful denunciation
upon the profound stupidity Of the Judge,
whose absurd decision had placed him in such
dilemma. "Yoa sec, your honor, what you
have done--you have actually placed my case
in the hands Of the defendant. lie took pos
session Of our oxen, and when we brought an
action to recover them, he took possession Of
hot alsof' y can't help it sir" said the lear
ned Judge, with great sternness-"The dccis-
ion il made, and il Is too late to alter it, the
Law must take it, course. You must withdraw
your action, and sue again.
'If he does, your honor said the defen-
dant's counsel, II shall plead the pendancy Of
tins action in bar and beat him. Then Mr.,
- said the Judge, Il see no other way
for you but to sit down quietly and wait till
the defendant gets ready to try this cause"
The plaintiff took the Judges advice, but the
'time appointed" has never elapsed" and he
is waiting yet.--Detrot Adpertiser

Let rakes extol a rowing life,
OK freedom pirate, and all that,
OF noisy brats and scolding wife,
And doctors bills, and all that:
Though fools may rail, and jest and scoff,
A wife's the thing, for all that;
The time. they'll find, is not far of,
When so they'll think, for all that,
Tis true, when youth and fortune smile,
And health is firm, and all that;
When wine and song, and dance begnile--'
Variety, and all that;
When every place, where'er you roam
Has Jolly friends, and all that;
You want for. neither wife nor home,
No sympathy, nor all that.
But age comes on with stealthy pace,
And sober thoughts, and all that;
Trouble will show his frowning face,
Sickness, and pain, and all that;
The feast, the bowl, will loose their powers,
And reveiry, and all that;
Then shall we need, to cheer the hours,
A wife, home, and all that
Oh! "when misfortune clouds the brow"
Disease and death, and all that,
Then "woman, then an angel thou"
To soothe and cheer, and all that;
Thy gentle cares beguile our pains,
Our sleepless nights, and all that;
Thy voice thy signing soul sustains,
With hope and trust and all that.
