Mary Jones had got some real gold esr-

"wen, my daughter" said Mrs. Lee,
what is there wonderful about that ,''
Why, said Lucy, her father is 90 poor,
and the family have SO few Of the necessaries
Of life
There are other good reasons" said Mrs.
Lee, Why should be very sorry to see your
face dishgured by adding gold to your ears;
but the fact that woman is poor is no sign
that we shall not see her bedecked in iewelry.

to the comfort Of the family. could but

dispense with some of the jewelry, and buy q
comfortable set Of spoons"
Mrs. Lees sister, Aunt Sarah, as the chill
dren called her, sat quietly knitting in a cor
ner, as this conversation was going on but Is
Mrs. Lee concluded this last sentence: Aunt
Sarah said, " You remind me Of two women

Ohio. They were young, the wives Of me-
Hhanics, their worldly circumstances about
alike. There were no railroads in the State,
at tfat time but these two women started
one dsv on the canal, to 60 to the city, about
twenty miles distant, for visit just as they
stepped in to a boat, each husband handed his
wife FIVE dollars, for making any extra pur-
chases she might wish.
"They went to the city, and spent a day
very pleasantly. One Of them spent the Eve
dollars her husband gave her for a nice brass
kettle, and some equally necessary articles for
house. keeping the other spent her money for
a beautiful pair of earrings. A few days af-
ter their return the owner Of the earrings
sent to borrow the brass kettle, just TO cook
some dried fruit, but the mistress Of the kettle
sent word back, that she might cook her ap-
pies in her earrings. Since then, L often
think, as see a woman with a lump of gold
dangling from each ear, that il is not certain
that she has anything better than earrings
to cook her dried apples in"

WHAT Is Law Law is like FIRE; and those
who meddle with it may chance to ''burn their
fingers
Law is like an eel-trap, very easy to get in,
but very difficult to get out Of
Law is like lancet, dangerous in the hands
Of the ignorant; doubtful even in the hands of
an adept.
Law Is like sieve, you may see through it;
but you will be constantly reduced before you
can get through it,
Law is like an ignis fatuus, or Jack 0 Lam
tern; those who follow the delusive guide, too
often find themselves inextricably involved in
bog or quagmire.
Law is like a Prussic acid-a dangerous
remedy; and the smallest dose is generally
sufficient

AN ARKANSAS LEGIsLAFoR-A member
elect of the lower chamber of the Legislature
of Arkansas, was persuaded by some wags of
his neig borhood, that if he did not reach the
State House at ten o'clock on the day of as
sembling, he could not be sworn, and would
lose his seat. He Immediately mounted, with
hunting frock, rife and bowie knife, and
spurred till he got to the capitol, where he
hitched his nag. A crowd was in the cham
Der of the lower house, on the ground floor,
walking about with their hats on, and smo-
king cigars. These he passed and ran up
stairs into the Senate Chamber, set his rifle
against the wall and bawled out:
Strangers, whar's the man that swears me
in!'' at the same time taking out his creden-
tials.
"Walk this way" said the Clerk, who was
at this moment ignitipg a real Principe, and
he was sworn, without inquiry.
When the teller came to count noses, he
found there was one Senator too many present
The mistake was soon discovered, and the
huntsman was informed that he did not be-
long there.
"FoOl tchO with your corn bread?" he roar
ed; 'you can't funk this child no how you
can fix it-I'm IN elected to this ere Legislator
and I'll 60 sgin all banks and eternal i'm
provements, and if there any Of your ora
tory gentlemen wants to get skinned, Jest say
the word, and I'll light upon you like a mig
ger on a woodchuck. Ny constituents sent
me here, and if you want to floor this two
legged animal, hop on, just as soon as you
like, for though L m from the back country,
I'm a little smarter than any other quadruped
you can turn out Of this drove"
After this admirable harangue, he put his
bowie knife between his teeth and took up
his rifle, with Come here, old Suke! stand
by me-" at the same time pointing at the
Chairman, who, however, had seen such peo-
pie before. After some expOstulation the man
was persuaded that he belonged to the lower
chamber, upon which he sheathed his knife,
flung his gun on his shoulder, and with pro-
found congee, remarked:
Gentlemen, beg your pardon. But if L
didn' t think that lower room was a grOggery,
may be shot,
