A CAsE.-Miss Fitznancy-elderly
maiden-charged Mr.. Cleaver, the gay
young man who was accustomed to carry
home her marketing, with having forcibly
kissed her in the entry Of her own house.
Mr.. Cleaver, although proud of his per-
sonal appearance, was short-very short
considering his whiskers; his height,
even in French boots, reached only to
four feet eleven inches. Miss Fitznancy,
on the contrary, being fond of extremes,
ran up foot higher-and stayed there
being of remarkably right department.
She swore the abbreviated, yet amorous
bucher kissed her ! by assault-and
hauled up for it. Butcher-with some
expressionof disgust, more emphatic than
necessary-denied the charge. Butcher
was fqt-lady wasn't. Cleaver had an
tipathy to what he irreverently termed
'scraggy' women and vowed he hadnt
kissed her, and wOaldnti Money
couldn't hire him to.
Being cross-examined, lawyer inquiries
of the lady the circumstances--ten o'clock
in the entry-resisted all she could.
but he presevered, and triumphed -
Lawyer says Did not he stand on any
thing but the foor?'
NO ! he stood on the hoor-no chair,
stool or anything else being brought into
But, my dear madam, this is impossi-
BILE you are twelve inches taller than
him. How could he reach your lips?
Lady hadn't thought that, but she was
not to be tripped by the glibbest lawyer
Of them all, 50 she replies
Oh ah ! well-I know-yes to be
sure but then you know--I scroOched
Z HHle! !

Nothing further, your honor

The rule is universal. tits true fall the pro-
lessions. 1t is so now; il has been so; it will
be so while our present institutions continue.
You must throw man upon his own resources,

countered and maintained voluntarily, or UNI
