The HoN. I. F. MARsHALL-C Contempt of Court.
The Cincinnati Enquirer is responsible for the fol-
lowing:
Hon. Thomas F. Marshall (late member of Con-
gress from Kentucky WINS defending man charged
with murder, in Jassamine county, Judge Lusk pre-
siding.
The testimony against the prisoner was strong and
Tom struggled hard on the crossexamination, but to
little purpose for the old Judge was inexibe in his
determination to rule out all the improper testimony
offered on the part of the defense.
At last Tom worked himself in high state of ex-
citement, and remarked, that Jesus Christ was con-
vcted upon just such rulings of the court that tried
him."
"Clerk said the Judge, 'enter fine Of $40 against
Mr. Marshall"
"We, that is the first time ever heard of any
body being fined for abusing Pontus PLATE" was the
quick response Of Tom.
Here the court became very indignant, and ordered
the clerk to enter another fine.
Tom arose, with that peculiar mrth-provoking ex-
preston of countenance that no one can initiate and
addressed the court with much gravity crcunl-
stances would permit, as follows:
"If your honor please as a good citizen, feel
bound to obey the order of this court and intend to
do SO in this instances but as don't happen to have
$50 about me, shall be compelled to borrow it Of
some friend; and as see no one present whose con-
fdence and friendship have so long enjoyed as your
honor's, 1 make no hesitation in asking the small
favor of loan for few days, to square up the
amount Of the fines you have caused the clerk to
ter against me-"
This was a stumper. The Judge looked at Tom,
and then at the clerk, and finally said:
"Cerk, remit Mr.. Marshalls fine 1.-THE State is bet
ter able to lose $50 than am.

Our HoMEs.-Genius hath its triumphs, fame its
gores wealth its spendor success its brgth rewards
but the heart only hath its home. Home only
What more needeth the heart? What more can it
gain? A true home is more than the world-more
than honor and pride and fortune-more than all
earth can give--the light, the MONDAY sun may not
yield and yet the tiny flame of pure beam of love
enkindleth and sympathy makes to burn forever.
Home how more beautiful thou art how like an
untaught religion golden link between the soul and
heaven! when the presence of pure heart makes
thee radiant and the music of affection floats like the
chorals of unseen cherubims around thy tranquil
hearth!

An Ode to all Mankind.
BY J. @. vetSe, N. D.

All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
As tits your case, alone, not mine, plead.
Ye who have felt, or feel them, know the pangs
Mans doomed to bear, when the remorseless fangs
When he would seek the dagger or the 'Bowl,"
To end his misery by the potent spell
Of deadly poison, or the polished steel
Ye who have writhed and groand from night to morn,
Cursing the hour that ever ye were born!
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping 'twould quench the flames that madly burn'd
In evry vein, as If your blood were turn'd
To molten lava
To him who hath felt this,
need not speak, as he knows what it is.
But such as only feel the incipient spark,
Should read this o'er, and ev'ry sentence marx!
Upon the tablets of their memory,
AS none may tell how he'll tomorrow be.
But all should know in dark afaiction's hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power, -,
To their pain, so prompt. they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp Necromancer's wand,
Like some good Gen of the olden time,
Whose ev'ry act bespoke his power sublime.
Within this city-throughout all the State,
In ev'ry town and hamlet, small or great,
Some can be found who know the power WELD.
Having tried it-know it was to the N shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
Upon Scamanders banks, in battle bore
They know it sav'd them from the blush OF shame,
Preserved their health, and dearer far their name,
For who confess the pain that spoiled his rest
Sprang from source impure, to say the least.
Ye suffering thousands who may read this o'er,
REMEMBER, ALONE can you restore
To health and usefulness.
That you may know
I have the means and power for doing SO,
| here will state. Let each note what say.
My motto always is-NO CURE NO PAY.
Pm found with ease, my names on evry tongue.
The suff 'rers friend, and yours too.

THOUGHTS OF HOME.
By GEORGE W. BENNETT.


Obi could say "I'm home tonight"
What rapture II would bring
Unto my young and wayward heart,
Where pure affections spring.
I'd clasp my aged fathers hand
Upon my throbbing breast;
For soon, ! know, he leaves this vale
For an eternal rest
My mothers form would caress
In earnestness and love;
And think of all the joyous songs
She taught me by the grove.
NY sisters, too, with whom I've played,
And fondiy cherished here;
I'd soothe the sorrows of their hearts,
And check each silent tear.
I'd greet my brothers noble form
Upon this earth once more;
But ahl perhaps we ne'er shall meet
Till on yon distant shore.
But soon, trust, if life is spared,
I'll meet with those at home
Beside the winding healthful stream
Where / have loved to roam.

swept through the press in fifty hours, and offered for

A SLY DASH AT THE CRITTER.-One of our SUBJ
scribers, says the Rhode Island Republican, who hap
pened to be in Newport last summer, got down into
the bar-room at very early hour, when 10 who
should come in first but tall well drrssed Quaker
gentleman, who had been attracted thither by the
"yearly conference" The friend looked about for
moment and then turning to the boy inquired:
"Boy, dost thee ever make lemonade9"
"Certanly, sir great deal every day.
"We make me glass. Take that largest sized
tumbler'
Boz mixes ingredients and pours in water about
half fall
"SSop-leave vacancy. Has thee any old nice

"Tes, SIR"
"Nel, pour till tell thee to STOP"
The boy acted accordingly

eyes"
"Wel, then, pour till tell thee to STOP"
1t was DONE and the boy mixed the contents of the
tumber which was brim-ful, in the usual mode, our
Quaker friend raised it to his lips and poured down
in one continuous stream, the whole arrangement,
without the interruption of breath. Then with a
look of satisfaction to the inner man, which, on such
accasions is seen but not described he sat down his
glass and inquired what was to pay. He paid and
turned to go away, but stopped if he had forgot
ten something just he reached the door, and cast
ing his eye to the fountain of refeshment where he
had imbibed the exhilerating beverage exclaimed
Lad, thee is very small boy, but thee does make
a gi-gr grand lemouade.'

OUNCES FOR THE TABLE-We know, from per-
sonal observation, that few persons are acquainted
with the best method of preparing ounces for the
table; it is simply this Bake them, remove the skin
slice and serve them with cream and sugar. Pre-
pared in this manner many prefer them to the peach

To PRESERVE CIrRoN.-Take lbs of sugar to

Put the sugar in preserving kettle with little wa

coriander Put in as much of the citron as the syr-
up will cover, and cook till you can run straw
through, then place upon plates to dry. Molasses
can be used instead of sugar. A little citron thus
prepared, if used in mnce or dried apple pes will
add much to their flavor
