The scene recorded below occurred in a court in
Mississippi. A prisoner, who had been convicted,
was asked by the Judge to stand up for sentence
"Prisoner at the bar" said the Judge, "you have
been tried bya jury of your own selection and found
guilty of high crme that must send you to the pen
tentiary. What have you to say why the sentence
Of the law should not be passed?"
To which the prisoner replied:
81 admit, Judge, that | shot the man but when
he says | was lying behind log when | done it, he
lies. l was squatted down behind some high grass,
and shot at the bulge of him with my rife. You sec,
Judge he had no coat or spenders on and his shirt
stuck out bove his britches | made the worst shot
shots in the swamp never miss bar, hog, turkey or
deer L was very much skeered when | shot and
trembled good deal, or l would have killed him
and L shot at the bulk of him. 1 did it in selfde-
fense, and always said so. He called my wife bad
names, shot pet pig we had, that my wife loved
very much, and threatened to kill me. I'm natr-
rallied, native-born native American, and he's an
Engshman, and had right to shoot him he can't
vote and shot him in sefdeense If you'd lust let
me off this time, Judge, Iii take Bible oath right
here, never to shoot any body in this State never
did shoot any body in this State before and never
will again. Just let off this time, Judge, and I'll
go home and see my dear wife,
"You made most fortunate shot interrupted the
Judge, sin not killing the man.
"Well, you see Judge, was badly skecred.
could have killed squirrel every shot Tn the best
rife-shot in the swamp-but you see l shot at the
bulge of him. Just let me off this time, Judge and
I'll take a Bible oath never to do so again."
"You were fortunate" repeated the Judge, ain not
killing your man-your intended victim. Had You
done so, you would have been guilty of murder Such
depravy the evidence shows on your part is rare
ly witnessed in court of justice, and imperavely
demands that you should have the heavy hand of the
law placed upon you, as a punishment for the high
crime of which you have been guilty and as an ad-
montion and warning to others. In this manner the
laws are vindcated, and public Justice established
and venerated. The sentence Of the court isr that
you be imprisoned in the penitenary of this State
for the full end and term Of ten gears from this day -
"Lor' almighty, Judge! can't you let it down
little? I have suffered nightly in jail Just let it
down little, and I'll never shoot any body again
I'll take Bible oath | won't"
'Sherif," said the Judge, 'remand the prisoner to
JAIL to await the demand of the keeper of the pen
tentiary."
And you pcruse this, reader "our hero" is work
ing out his fate in the Mississippi state prison-and
all for shooting at the "bulge" Of a ncghbor,

THE DEAD SEA.-Though in breadth not exceed
ing ten miles, the Dead Sea seems boundess to the
eye when looking from North to South, and the muir
mur of the waves, as they break on its aint-strewn
shore, together with the lines of driwood and frag
ments of btumen on the beach, give to its waters II
resemblance to the Curious to experience the
sensations of swimming in so strange sea, put to
the test the accounts Of the extreme buoyancy felt in
it, and | was quickly convinced that there was no
exaggeration in what had heard. | found the wa
ter hmos tepid and strong that the chief difficult
y was to keep sufficiently submerged, the feet start
ing up in the air at every vigorous stroke. When
floating half the body above the surface, and,
with pillow, one might have slept upon the water.
After time the strangeness of the sensation in some
measure disappeared, and on approaching the shore
carelessly dropped my feet to walk out, when 10. as
if bladder had been attached to each heel, they flew
upwards the struggle to recover myself sent my head
down, the vlely bitter and briny water, from which
| had hitherto guarded my head now rushed into my
mouth, eyes, ears, and nose and for one horrible mo-
menf the only doubt had was whether | to be
drowned or poisoned. Coming to the surface how
ever, | swan to land making no farther attempt to
walk in deep water, which am inclined to believe is
almost mpossible-EAsTERN TRAVEL.

AN INCH OF RA1N.-We have been struck with
the passage of Lieut.. Maury's Physical Geography
of the Sea, in which he computes the effect of
single inch of rain falling upon the Atlantic Ocean
The Atlantic includes all of twenty-five millions
square miles. Suppose an inch of rain to fall upon
only one-fifth of this vast expanse. 1t would
weigh" says our author, " three hundred and sixty
thousand millions Of tuns and the salt, which as
water it held in solution in the sea- and which, when
this water was taken up as vapor was left behind to
disturb the equilibrium, weighed sixteen millions
more tuns, or nearly twice much all the ships in
the world could carry at single cargo EACH 1t
might fall in day; but occupy what time it might
in falling this rain is calculated to exert so much
force-which is inconceivably great-in disturbing
the equilibrium of the If all the water dis
charged by the Mississippi river during the year was
taken up in one mighty measure and cast into the
ocean at one effort, it would not make greater dis
turbance in the equilibrium of the sea than would
the fall of rain supposed And yet so gentle are the
operations of nature, that movements so vast are un-
perceived"

That neatest of all things in the Drawer, the sto-
ry Of the Widow Lambkin, of whom DR.. Meadows
took so much toll when they crossed the brge on a
slegh-rde, reminds me-" writes Down Easter, of
one of our Maine young fellows, who thus describes
his battle and final victory in fair fight for kiss
of his sweetheart
"A All, now, Sarhh dear give me kiss-iust one
and be done with it,
"'I won't so, there now.'
"''l.hen I'll have to take it, whether or no.
"'Take it if you dare!'
So at we went, rough and tumble An awful
destruction of starch now commenced The bow of
my cravat squat up in half of no time. At the
next bout smash went shirt collar and at the same
time some of the head fastenngs gave way and down
came Sallys hair like flood in milldam broke
loose carrying away half dozen combs One
plunge of Sally's elbow, and my blooming BOSOM
rues wiled to the consistency and form of an after
dinner napkin But she had no time to boast Soon
her neck tacklings began to shiver, parted at the
throat and away went string of white beads scam
pering and running races every way you could think
of about the floor She fought fair, however must
admit; and when she could fight no longer, for the
want of breath, she yielded handsomely her arms
fell down by her sde-those long, round rosy arms
her hair hung back the chair her eyes were half
shut as if she were not able to hold them open
minute longer and there lay little plump mouth all
in the air. My goodness Did you ever see hawk
pounce a robin? or a bee on cover-top? Even
50 settled; and when she came to, and threw up
those arms, and seized me around the neck and de-
clared she would choke me if l ever did so again,
and had a great mind to do it now, lust ran the
risk over again, and the more she chokcd me the
more liked it and now she puts her arms around
my neck and puts her own lips in the way of mine
every day. and calls me her john and don't seem to
make any fuss about it at all. That was a very
sensible girl and she makes good wife too as l am
not ashamed to say any where

ADVICE GRATIs-A farmer called at the house of
lawyer to consult him professionally "Is t. squeer
at home?' he inquired of the lawyers lady. He was
answered negatively. After a moments hesitation.
a thought relieved him. "Mebby yourself can gi'
me information well as squeer, as yere his wife?"
The kind lady promised to do so if she found it in
her power; and the other proceeded as follows -.
ry ye to gwang to mill, with grist on yer back an

once ye shold back up, an up, an pitch up an

the door, that as he had himself passed sentence on
the case, advice would be entirely superluous.
