Peach and Honey, A Gentlemanly Drink

"A ks
 Old Judge Cole, of Texas, was characterized by his attachment to that seductive beverage called peach and honey, and by his hatred of whisky and whisky drinkers While holding court at Austin, two men were brought up on charge of drunken affray. It was plain case; the row had occurred in the public street in open day and there were fifty witnesses to the whole transaction So the two delinauens pleaded guilty by the advice of their counsel, and threw themselves on the mercy of the court They were then brought up for sentence separately.
 "You are guilty of an affray," growed the Judge.
 "Yes your honor" whined the offender, thor oughly frightened
 Drunk, suppose" grunted the Judge.
 | es your honor," murmured the prisoner with some faint hope that having been drunk would mitigate the punishment
 Drunk on rye whisky Ill warrant roared the Judge in voice of thunder.
 Yes, your honor, drunk on rye whisky"
 ''M Mr. Clerk, record a fine of fifty dollars against this man. and send him to jail for sixty days. shall fine the next one who is guilty under such aggravating circumstances a bun dred dollars, and send him to ai for six months"
 This was poor comfort for the unfortunate fellow who was waiting his turn, and now came forward with fear and trembling. As he passed along by his lawyer that thoughtful gentleman whispered ill his ear: "When the Judge asks you what you got drunk on tell him peach and honey" He took his stand.
 " You too are up here for any adfray," growled the Judge, gnashing his teeth as if he would like to bite the culprt at the bar.
 "Yes, your honor."
 Drunk, too, suppose
 "Yes, your honor, sorry to say it--drunk- very drunk"
 Drunk on rye whisky too, suppose"
 "Oh, no, your honor, never drink whisky. got drunk on peach and honey"
 The Judges features immediately relaxed--. Leaning forward and raising his spectacles he contemplated the prisoner with interest, and then with something like tenderness.
 "Ah! sir" said the Judge bandly, "peach and honey, ah! that's gentlemanly drink, sir. The court sympathzes with you, and does not regard your offence as very serious" Mr. Clerk, he continued, ir softening tone, center fine of one dollar against this gentleman, and dis charge him on payment of cost
