A Very Polite Judge,

Governor Ford, of Illinois, tells a very rich
anecdote OF one Of the early judges Of that
State, but the Governor does not put upon
record the name of the sensitive and consider
ate magistrate.
At the court over which this Judge presided.
a man by the name of Green was Convicted Of
murder, and the judge was obliged TO pass
sentence of death upon the culprit Calling
on the prisoner to rise, the judge said to him
Mr.. Grecn, the jury say you are guilty Of
murder, aud the law says you are 70 be hung
want you and all your friends down on In
dian Creek TO know that il is not who con.
demn you it is the jury and the law Mr.
Green, at what time, sir, would you like to be
bung; the Law allows you time for prepars.
tion?'
The prisoner replied, " May il please your
honor, am ready at any time; those who
Kill the body have no power TO kill the soul.
My preparation is made, and you can FIX the
time to suit yourself; ii is all the same to me,
sir"
"Mr Green" returned the Judge, ait is a
very serious matter to be hung Il can { hap
pen to man bat once in his life. unless the
rope should break before his neck is broke,
and you had better take all the time you can
get Mr. Clerk, since it makes no difference
to Mr. Green when he is to be hung, just look
into the almanac and see whether this day
four weeks comes on Sunday"
reported that that day four weeks came on
Thursday.
Then" said the Judge, "Mr. Green, IL
you please, you will be hung this day four
weeks, at II clock 1"
The attorney general, James Turney, Esq,
here interposed, and said,
MAY il please the court, on occasions Of
this sort, il is usual for courts TO pronounce a
formal sentence, TO remind the prisoner Of his
perilcus condition, to reprove him for his guilt,
and to warn him against the judgment in the
world to come "
"Oh, Mr.. Turney," said the judge, "Mr.
Green understands the whole matter; he
knows he has got to be hung. You understand
it, Mr. Green, don't your"
Certainly" said the prisoner.
"Mr Sheriff, adjourn the court.
Four weeks from that day Mr.. Green was
hung, but not so much TO his satisfaction as
his appearance prOmished on the day Of his
conviction.

One sees queer things set in little type in
the newspapers sometimes, conveying by i'm
p!ication all sorts of doctrines, disclosing peo.
pie 9 Ideas of happiness, when they least sus-
pect it, and affording clew to the faith in
p.aDy heart that is a sealed book to those
that know 1t best, and yet all set forth so
many times daily in dull advertisement
Sometimes, as in this agate expression Of
{" a want We have peoples definitions of
things, which set Webster and johnson at de.
fance.
Without cncumbrance What young
mother, when she feels for the first time her
hrst bOTn's breath, would ever imagine in the
new blOssoming Of her new love, that any
where beneath the sun there should exist
lexicon, wherein under the E's il should ca
thus: Eff, Eg, Eli, FL, Em,
EN-.
ENcrMBRANcK, n young human bengj
child.
There. what do you think Of that, ye Old
fashioned grandmothers, whose love is visited
upon the children even to the third and fourth
generation? "Rachel weeping for her en-
cHmbranoes - here am L and the eHcNm
6rances thou hast given me-" "And the lee
pard shall lie down with the lamb, and a lit
tie emcHm6rance shall lead them"
Those little motives in pink and fair dimity,
that stir the pulses like d clarion, that nerve
up the weary and light up the hope, and fill
up the signing with songs are encumbrances
So, then, the sweet little candidates for hea-
ven'S kingdom, that dance around the thresh-
old of the open heart and enter unforbidden
that keep the world from growing old in sor-
row and in sin, are encumbranccs all!
And when they are elected-fOr go, alas
they sometimes areas the greenswari bro
ken into little hillows everywhere, and the
Rachels that will not be cOmfOrted, 50 sadly
attest, think yet when the mother rocks the
empty cradle, and looks upon the impressed
pillow, and finds in tho " till' silken tress
and pair Of little shoes that were laid aside
for sandals of light, that she finds the name
Of the wearer under the Ems?
That when the poet sighed
''Tbere is no fock, however watched and tended
Bat one dead lamb Is there
There is no firesids how'er so defended,
But hath one vacant chair''-
or when he who sang the " Airs of Palestine
declared
"I cannot make him dead!
His fair, sunshiny head
is ever bounding round my study chair,"
