T. Great Wag,

Judge Dolly, an cmiucnt jurist ia Gcor-
gia, forty years ago, w4s a great wag as
wei as a Judgc-witty as well as wise
Ills gravity gave effect even to his joke,
aud these were more frlIucn, than his de-
c.siuns. One of lis fancics was to take
people down who were in the habit Of ex
a-gcra'ion. The way he used up Austin
Edwards, keeper Of the hotel at Eberston,
is a caution to all s,ory-tellcrs, of whom
Austin was the prince. lie always told
the truth, and mare.
One morning, at the breakfast table,
this long bow landlord had been relating
one Of his extraordinary yarns, aud Judge
Doo'y, being at the hotel and listening to
the story, sat in solemn silence till it was
over, and then remarked that he had an
awful dream in the night, and was very
much ropresscd this morning. The land
lord was awake IN moment, aud begged
the judge, if it would be 10 violcuce to
his feelings, to relate the dream, as all
would Ike to hear it. The judge suIl de-
cliued, as it might hurt the feelings Of
others.
90, do tell it, juigc-we must thavc l'!!'
urged the landlord aud the company
iuing in, the Judge proceeded as if he
were about to sentence Il criminal to be
hung:
"Wcll, | cgmed last night that two
lawyers and myself had retired to a lri-
vatc room to divide among US fee re-
ceivcd from a hard case which had been
carried through with a mighty deal Of !y-
ing on all hands. While We were set
Ting the division, in steps the devil, who,
without any formaIity, said he bad come
for us-we had told lies enough, and if
be left Us any longer We might repent,
and SO be would lose US. We did our
best to persuade him to let US off, but he
was incxorablc, till at last | ventured to
ask lin if he would take a substitute.
"'Whom do you offer ? he asked.

few years since, and Judge Dooly is gone
too, and there is no harm now in telling
the story.
