The cause was opened by the plaintiffs
counsel, and all the scraps of evidence they
could pick up were adduced in his favor
The defendent had a great number Of witness
es and pleaders, all bribed as well as the Judge.
The evidence deposed that they were in the
self same county when the brother died, and
saw him buried; and everything went with
full tide for the younger brother. The judge
summed up with great gravity and delibera-
tion:-'' And now, gentlemen Of the jury,
bring in verdict as you shall deem most just"
In few minutes the judge said, care you
agreed? Who shall speak for youa''
SO We are all agreed; our foreman shall
speak for us.''
s'Hold, my Lord replied the miller, sswe
are not all agreed
Why" said the judge, in surley manner,
q what is the matter with you-what reason
have you for disagreeing.''
:'I have several reasons, my lord,'' replied
the miller. g First, they have given all the
gentlemen of the jury ten broad pieces of gold,
and me only five, which is not fair. Besides,
have many objections to make to the false
reasoning of the pleaders, and the contradic-
tory evidence of the witnesses"
Upon this the miller began discourse that
discovered such a vast penetration Of judg-
ment and extensive knowledge of law, that it
astonished the judge aud the whole court
As he was going on, the judge in surprise,
stopped him.
Where did you come from, and who are
you ?'' he asked.
g L came from Westminster Hail. replied
the miller. g Ny name is Mathew Hale, Lord
Chief Justice of the Kings bench. 1 have
observed the iniquity of your proceedings this
day therefore come down from the seat you
are in no way worthy to hold. You are one of
the corrupt parties in this iniquitous business.
will come up this moment and try the whole
case over again.
Accordingly Lord Mathew went up in his
miller's dress and hat, began the trialfrom the
commencement, and searched every circum-
stance of truth and falsehood he evinced the
elder brothers. title to the estate, and gained
complete victory in favor of truth and JUS
tice.

name and is done in no theatres walls, but in
the open face CT day OF holiday afternoon,
all the world is there, looking on. The rivers
bed is dry and grassy; for it is only at sea-
son Of unusual rains, that the slender noun
tain torrent rises sufficiently high to I'LL its
banks. Here, below the bridge del Mar, is a
broad, open space, well suited TO the game of
eI tiro de las palornas.
The birds are thrown up into the air by their
owner, and whoever has gun and pesetas
may have a shot at them. The person who
has the privilege of firing first, and has the ad-
vantage of position nearest the thrower,
pays fee of peseta, provided his shot proves
a successful one. In that case, he is also enti
lied to the pigeon. If he misses his mark, he
pays nothing and gets nothing. Thereupon, as
many persons as choose to give a couple of
reals for the privilege of shot, may fire as
fast they like, until the poor bird either falls
or gets away. If killed, it belongs to the sue
cessful marksman, and it is brought in by
small boys, aided by dogs, whose share Of the
sport is by no means the least As half-a-
dozen guns may be let off the same moment,
there is Judge present to decide all disputed
claims among the Sportsmen. His interference,
however, is rarely necessary; for the boys,
and even the dogs, seem always to know, as if
by instinct, to which one Of the guns belongs
the honor of the victory, and the prize. Most
birds which get off cut of the range OF the guns
in the bed of the river, are brought down by
the peasants who lie in wait under the neigh
boring trees, for chance shots, and who are al
lowed to fire at any fugitive coming within
their limits. Occasionally, fortunate pigeon
scars high in the air, above the reach of all
missiles, and after describing few circles in
mid-heaven, shapes its course to its wcll-re-
membered home, on some house-top in the
city. IT'S so much clear gain to the owner,
besides life saved to the poor bird.
This game of pigeon-shooting is a fayorite
diversion with the Falencians. The marksmen
vie with each other in showing their skill, and
the best shot carries off load of popular hon
| ors, besides birds enough to make stewpie.
| A holiday, at the same time, is made for hun
| dreds, and even thousands, of spectators, who
cover the river-bed, the quays, and the bridges.
SO idle, so easily amused, are the dwellers
! on these happy shores. With trihing toll, the
earth yields them its increase. Their wants
! are few and simple. They think not of the
morrow. Grant them, then, but an occasional
pigeon shooting or Bull-fght, procession of
priests, or parade Of soldiers, the sight of a
prince, or even an elephant and monkeys, and
their happy, needless hearts, will want no more
to render life a perpetual merry-making.

if he would look over the book he said she
might leave it, and he would see. Later on
the same evening he sent an invitation to his
daughters 10 drink tea with him. When the
meal was nearly concluded, he said: ''Chil-

a little dark person, dressed in black, who
scarcely spoke, so that l had time for good
look at her. She had soft lightsh brown hair,
eyes Of the same tint, looking straight at you,
and very good and expressive; reddish com
pleXion, wide mouth-altogether plain; the
forehead square, broad and rather overhanging.
Her hands are like birds claws, and she is so
Short-sighted that she cannot see your face
unless you are close to her. She is said to be
very shy; and almost cries at the thought of
going among strangers.

THE MARsEILLEs HYMN.

Oh! that is song 1t is the magic wand
that, with wondrous power, changes the boy
into the man! Go to Paris; enter the first,
best theatre; take the audience by surprise,
and sing in the midst of the performance
Gallons, enfans de la patrie,''
and you will witness something most extraor-
dinary. The whole assemblage, actors and
audience, will at once arise, and, as with in
spired voice, hymn forth, .4llons, enfans de la
patrie. The children will shout with joy and
toss their caps aloft; the women will wave their
perfumed handkerchiefs, and an excitement
will be raised that will continue long after the
verses shall have been sung And woe to that
power that should attempt to quell this ex-
citement in the moment of its might! Let
the government forbid the singing Of this song
as strictly as possible; experience has proved
that the MarseiIiais will be sung to the end,
whenever its first tones have been raised in a
large assembly. The effect of this hymn is
truly wonderful; it often appears as judge,
descending among men, and demanding an
account of their acts. Fools to think its role
is finished. All revolutions, all emeUtes which
have occurred since its composition, have but
verified its influence and its importance. The
Harseilles Hymn is one of the greatest tri-
un,phs of which music can boast-it is the faith
and the trust of a nation.

SKETCH OF LUTHER.
by CARLYLE.


4 course, rugged plebeian face it was, with
great crags of cheek bones-a wild amount OF
energy and appetite! But in his dark eyes
were floods of sorrow and the deepest melan-
choly, sweetness, and mystery were llthere.
Often did there seem to meet in Luther the
poles in mans character. He, for example,
of whom Richter had said that his words were
half battles; he, when he first began to preach,
suffered unheard of agony. 90, DR.. Staupitz,
DR.. Staupitz, said he to the vicar general of
his order, l cannot, cannot; l shall die in
three months. Indeed, cannot do it, DR..
Staupitz, a wise and considerate man, said
upon this Well, Sir Martin, ifyou must die,
you must but remember, they need good
heads up yonder too. So preach, n an, preach,
and then live or die as it happens
So Luther preached and lived, and he be-
came, indeed, one great whirlwind, of energy,
to work without resting in this world and
also before he died he wrote many, very many
books-books in which the true man was--for
in the midst of all they denounced and cursed,
what touches of tenderness lay. Look at the
Table Talk, for example.
w e see III 1t Il little UlTt, HdfIHS dllSnIOu dt
sunset on the bough of pear tree that grew
in Luther's garden. Luther looked up at it
and said I" That little bird, how it covers
down its wings, and will sleep there so still
and fearless, though over it are the infinite
starry spaces, and the great blue depths of
immensity. Yet it fears not--it is at home.
The God that made it too is there"
The same gentle spirit of lyrical admiration
is in the other passages of his books. Coming
home from Leipsic, in the antumn season, he
breaks forth into living wonder at the fields of
corn. How it stands there" he says, erect
on its beautiful taper stem, and bending its
beautiful golden head with bread in 1.-THE
bread of man sent to him another year" Such
thoughts as these are as little windows, through
which we gaze into the serene depth of Mar
tin Luther's soul, and see visible across its
tempests and clouds, the whole heaven of
light and love. He might have painted-he
might have sung-could have been beautiful
like Raphael, great like Michael Angelo.
