A HARD CASE IN LAw.-Mr. c., a
veteran lawyer of Syracuse, used to tell a
story of client, an impetuous Old farmer, by
the name of Merrick, who had difficulty
with cabinet.maker. As was usual IN
such cases, the matter excited a great deal
of interest among the neighbors, who sever
ally allied themselves with one or the other
of the contending parties. At length, how
ever, to the mutual disappointment of the
allies, the principals offered compromise,
by which Merrick was to take, in full of all
demands, the cabinet-maker's note for forty
dollars, at six months, payable IN cabinet
acurc!
Lawyer G.-was called upon to draft
the necessary papers to consummate the set
tlement, which, having been duly executed
and delivered, the client was apprised that
the matter was fully and amicably arranged
A.-saw no more of the parties until
about six months after, when one morning,
just as he was openinghis office, old Merrick
rode furiously up, dismounted, and rushed in,
defaptly exclaimed:
~ say, Squire, am I bound to t"he 'cf'
fins ?"
1t seemed, on the note falling due, the OBJ
stinate cabinet maker had refused to pay him
in any other way.

A FRANK CoMMENTAToR.-Mr. George
Winston, says recent Boston paper, was
devoted Baptist of Mississippi, and an
equally ardent Democrat. 1t was hard to
tell which had the warmest place in his af'
fections-his wife, his church or his politi-
cal party. On one occasion, he had several
friends spending the evening with him and
before they retired, he took down the family
Bible, to read portion of scripture and
have word of prayer. 1t so happened that
he opened the sacred book at the Epistle to
Titus, where the Apostles says, "Put them
in mind to be subject to prineipalities and
powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready
for every good work" AS it was habit
of his to comment on the text as he went
along, when he came to this passage he took
off his spectacles, and with gravity suited
to the time and place he remarked:
"Mere, my friends, is where differ with
Brother Paul. Mr. Jefferson tells US that
the true doctrine is, men in Office should al
ways be obedient to the people; and agree
with the great author of the declaration of
Independence. The Apostle was no doubt
great preacher and Good Christian; but
it is clear enough be was no Democrat"

Amusing 8eaomg.

messed scene at the railroad station short
time since, which afforded much amusement
to the bystanders. A very we'll and show
lily dressed man, with very prominent nose,
alighted from the cars, and stood watching
their departure, when he was bluntly accos-
ted by an old ragged son of Erin, "a recent
importation, who still retained the frieze
coat and corduroys, and was evidently but
little Americanized, in the following man
ner:
"Arrah and be me sowl-is this yer
self, Mr.. O'Nayle?"
The gentleman (?) looking at first very
much surprised-and then shocked-and
lastly indignant, replied:
"Ye're mistaken, sir; my name is not
O'Nayle."
(which"
"NIe name isn't O'Nayle."
"Isn't it now and ye're not a ONayle,

All this was vocifsrated very rapidly, and
in a tone of deep indignation, as the ':jintle-
man of the rag business" replied:
"Me name is Neil, sir but I've no 0 to

THE FARMERS WINTER FIREs1DE.
By J. p. GRANBY.

By Up. GRANBY.
The farmer sits in his old armchair,
Now his labor is Ger for the day,
Close by his wife and his children fair
His classes raised to his locks OF gray;
He smooths the paper upon his knee
Kindly he smiles, and listens the while,
The wife tells of Johnny and Nellie,
OF roguish Kate and Mary so mild.
How fast they learn in the winter school
That their books are all carefully through;
And asks for money to go to town,
On the morrow, to purchase them new.
The boy is glad, but works out his sum
Nellie, near by reads faster her book,
But knows no word, when the page is done;
For catch they fathers approving look.
The freight streams from the open CRATE
The chill of the winds is felt not there
Happy indeed is the farmers fate,
Granting much joy, and not much OF care
Cunsant, an angel for good hovers near,
Which throws charm round his lowl,' nole-
Love binds this band with ties stro's anu uear'
Meier to be broke, where'a. they may roan''
Now Kate ne'er it,te, skips here and there
Says the full moon is up, clear and bright,
That there never was night more fair
And begs John to 60 slide, it's so light.
The boy reluctant puts by his book
Quickly are donned warm mittens and hood,
While mother says, with an anxious look,
'Be careful, my children, kind and good"
Now list the parents to their joyous shout.
And their pulses quicken with deigh'-
The fire of youtL has not yet gone out,
Through the lapse of years, and changes anu
blight.
The busy wife now forgets to sew
The farmer takes her hand in his own'
"A he did on day long ago,
Saying, "My Kate, >: in the same sott ''he'
0, very still they sit, ana look on
The freight glancing up but no word
Say they, for each is thinking upon
Past times; and sighed, that they had so erred
Sometimes to speak harsh words. Resolved they
To do better in their future years.
The wife her head on his strong arm lay
One kiss he gave-she smiled amid tears.
The door flies ope-in come the fair youths,
Chatting together right merrily,
Till father takes the book of Gods truths,
And reads, while they all attentive be
And then together kneel they in prayer
Rendered thanks and remembered praise
Earnest the words that are spoken there,
Heartfelt the prayer they so humbly raise.
