HARD CASE IN LAw.-Mr G.. veteran lawyer
of ofSyracuse, used to tell a story of-a client, an
impetuous old farmer by the name of Merrick,
who, in oldon times, had a difficulty with a
cabinetmaker. AS was usual in such cases. the
matter excited good deal Of interest among
the ncighbors, who severally allied themselves
with one or the other of the contending parties.
At length, however, to the mutual disappoint-
ment Of the allies, the principals affected a com-
promise, by which Merrick was to take, in full
Of all demands, the cabinetmaker's note for
forty dollars, at six months, payable in cab-
net ware"
Lawyer G. was called upon to draft the nee
essary papers to consumate the settlement,
which having been duly done and delivered the
matter was supposed to be-fully.and amicably
arranged.
@. saw no more of the parties until about six
months after when one morning, just as he was
opening his office, old Mr.. Merriek came riding
furiously up, dismounted, and rushed in, def
antly exclalming, ~ say, Squire, am bound to

A TERRIBLE FIGnr-Two Cinnamon, named
All Chung aud All Pung, had desperate fight

thus graphically described by the Trinity Jour
nal:
At the first round they both discharged a
volley of oaths, accompanied by gestures such
as only Chinaman can make, until they were
both 80 much out of breath that they were
obliged to take rest. AT the second round
both came To time quite fresh, and after q few
passes, All Chung got in q left handler that
knocked his antagonist into China grocery,
damaging the nose and spectacles of the keeper
of said grocery, and landing them both in
pan ofh OF boiled rice. Smarting with pain of
the hot rice. and the blow, All Pung pitched in
and hit All Chung dig in his rice-basket that
made him howl, when each seized the other by
the tail and put in their best licks, until other

tween the belligerants and conducted each to

A FAIR VICrIM OF THE HELLENIC EpIDEyfC--A
young lady Of our city pretty and interesting,
Of course-requested private interview with
her papa, in his library, one day last week, and
told him that she had fixed her affections upon
gentleman whom she knew he would be un-
willing she should wed but without whom she
could not and would not live.
Papa requested the name of the gentleman
who had won his daughters heart but she, 60
ing into dramatic platitudes, declared she felt
assured he would not give his consent, but that
fate had united them in soul that the heli0trope
of her existence must ever turn to the sun OF his
love; that the harmony of earth and heaven
would be marred if two adoring spirits were dl-
vided; If the divine stream of their life did not
unite, and flow through the vale of Time, clear,
bright, and beautiful.
"But who, who is he? Pray tell me" inter-
posed the father.
The name was given, and the parent, without
q moments hesitation, consented to the union.
The daughter then burst into Medean storm
OF seeming grief, which very naturally astonish-
cd her parent.
"Why, what ails you, my dear child? Have
not granted your wish? ! am perfectly will
ling you should marry him you love. What
more can do? one
Signs, tears, groans and wrnging Of hands,
were the only answer.
"Tell me my darling, why you are wretched
Have not given my consent"
ayes, yes, (sobbing violently)-but-but-
"But what?"
"Why, now, nOw-I can't"
Speak out, my child-what is it?'
al can't-(wth great burst Of emotion)-I
can't-O, dear father-I am wretched; for now
I can't elOpe p'-Cn. Gazette.

The London Advertiser states fact which
shows that men occupying prominent positions
are not above the need of the most elemen-
tary Sunday school instruction. 1t says
that q candidate for Parliament at the recent
election, in the course of sn electioneering
speech, was asked "What do you think Of the
Decaloguel Confounded by the inquiry, he
turned to friend, and asked, in o whisper
acquaintance with divinity was on par with
his own, replied by suggesting that 1t probably
meant logging in the army. Whereupon the
candidate declared: II entirely disapprove of
the Decalogue, and will never rest till l see it
abolished" The gentleman was elected, and
is now member Of the new Parliament. The
Advertiser adds: ave pledge ourselves for the
perfect accuracy Of this statement"

A WEALTHY OLD GENTLEMAN.--The present
condition of Uncle Sans worldly affairs is TINS
humOrously stated by the Brooklyn Eagle:
Uncle Sam, after carrying on his business for
the past eighty years, having three wars, buy
ing territory from France and Mexico, building
railroads, specializing in bank, and trading
with all creation, comes out with snug little
balance on hand of twenty-five millions
enough to set up several millionaires
which makes Sam millionaire among nations.
Since our revolution England has quadrupled
her national debt, and other nations Of Europe
have run up score nearly in proportion, while
Sam has paid off bis debts, bought real estate,
and has money laid by for rainy day.

GRIEvNG FOR LOST PEAmS.-It would be
hard to tell whether most joy or most sorrow
has been caused at North Brook, n. j., by the
discovery of the pearls Dozens are bemoaning
fortunes that, In days past, they carelessly flung
away. One matron unavailing sighs over some
'little white things" that she once gave her
boys for marbles A schoolmaster lugubriously
remembered that he had chopped up eight or
ten thousand dollars worth, with his pcnknifc,
ito see what was inside" Another genius
rammsd q pearl bullet dewn his rifle and shot
away his fortune. An old lady who chuckled
six months over her "good bargain with the
peddler,n now discovers that she paid him in
pearls, about seven thousand dollars for cal
loo dress. 1t is needless to say that she hasn't
laughed since. The unfortunate man who had
the $25,00O enc cooked for his breakfast has
taken to bed in utter despair, and refuses to be
comforted. .-Erchangc.

STRENGTH INoREAsED.-A student Of one of
our State Colleges had barrel of ale deposited
in his room, contrary to usage. He received
summons to appear before the President who
said: "Sir, / am informed that you have bar
rel of ale in your room" "Why, the fact is
sir; my physician advises me TO try little each
day as a tonic, and net wishing to stop at the

"Indeedl And have you derived any benefit

We have Methodist preacher here who is q
Jolly wag. A few days since, young man
who had long been attached to his church, and
who was about to leave for New Orleans, came
to bid his pastor farewells-"And so you are
going to that degenerate place, New Orleans,
are you?n 'eYes, sir; but l don't expect to be
influenced by any extraneous pressure OF any
kind, responded the young man, with consider
able earnestness. "Well, / am glad to see you

But do you know the temptations which exist
there?" "Not particularly, sir.O ''sWell do.
You'll find wanton women in the guise Of Peris,
tempting the very elect; and rare wines and
ardent drinks; and you'll find gay company,
