a Lawyer Non-Plussod.


Tho following aneodote, which is said
to be literally true, and of an eminent
New Bedford lawyer, recently doceas-
led, was contributed some years since
to the Knickerbocker AS. however.
all the details were not given, and ON
assumed name given TO the chief ac-
tors, we win relate it more fully horo
ihc lawyer in question, who was then
quite young, was retained as advocate to
case, on which, not feeling himself
suihciently prepared to plead, he wac
very desirous Of obtaining a postpone
ment As, however, the Court had al-
Iready protracted it's session beyond tho
usual period, in consequence off an un-
usual amount of business, of course the
jury were getting impatient TO be ro-
leased from their duties, and he was
well aware that it would be impossible
to procure such a postponomont. up-
less he could allogo some extraordinary
cause.
Fortunately, as the result proved, he
had lively Imagination, and had quick
ly formed a plan which he was very sure
would be successful

he addressed the Court withgreat appar-
ent emotion
"May it please the Court, I have lust
heard of the dangerous illness of NV
venerable mother, who is lying at the
point Of death. Under such oircum-
stances, much as Iregret protractinp
an already heightened session, I must
request that this case be postponed. NV
feelings are so powerfully agitated that
l should be unable to do justice to the
case, feeling, as I do, that my proper
place is at the bedside Of my mother"
The pathetic appeal was completely
successful A feeling of earnest SYM
IPathy for the afflicted counsel porvaded
Iall hearts, and the jurors, though anz-
ious to return to their families, we're not
sufficiently hard of heart, to wish TO
have the business Of the Court pro-
coed at sucha sacrifice of personal feel
Iings.
The Judge, who was a tender-hearted
imam, had risen, and was about to grant
the request Of the counsel, when the
deep hush was broken by a shrill voice,
which proceeded from a lady in Qua
ker bonnet, who was bending over the
railing of the gallery. It was the moth
er of the eloquent counsel, who, so far
from being at the point of death, had
come, without her sons knowledge, to
hear him plead.
"Timothy, Timothyr she exclaimed,
in voice which could be heard all over
the house, "Tla,oHy, Timothy, ho1o of
ten hare / chastised heo for lyiagi"
1t is needless to say that the Court
room fairly shook with laughter, and

"tho Eternal God shall be thy refuge,
and beneath thee shall be the evorlast-

he feared the angel Of hope in her
heart had dropped its head, and folded
its bright wings. But the sweet voices
Of his children, as he called Elsie and
Nellie, doated to his ear from the piaz-
"a, OF the yard, where they walked in
the Summer twilight, and chased his
gloom away.
And now he often heard another
voice, mingling with theirs-the voice
Of Stacy Humes.
Outlines they would come to his
room; Elsie in her mourning dress
Nellie in her robe Of simple white, and
the minister wearing his smile Of in
comparable sweetness. Once the old
man saw tho olergyman's eyes bent
upon his child, with a look he
could not misintorpret. He knew his
sweet Nellie was beloved. And bo saw
more. lie saw her dowy eyes lifted to
the minister's, and a light burning in
them, like that which had lit up her
mothers with such wondrous love for
him, long years before.
Kncoling down, after they left him,
he blessed God that he need not leave
his only child alone in the world, with
out a protector.

two months in a perfect state of preser-

dressed, with powdered charcoal, and
then hanging them in an airy loft.

and dropping burning cinders on dry

tions. Most fires in the country origi-
nate in this way, Be particular to
clean or burn out SCOT once a month,
when the roof is wet.
A RAT.TRAP.-A writer in Moore's
Rural New Yorker, says he fills bar
rel full Of good swill-tho rats soon
learn to come and eat. After a few
days, six or eight inches Of this swill is
dipped out when they still find their
way into the barrel and not out. Six
teen rats were thus caught in one night.
To KNIT HEELs.-To knit the heels
Of socks double, so that they may thus
last twice as long as otherwise, skip ev-
cry alternate stitch on the wrong side,
and knit all on the right. This will
make it double, like that of a double
ply in grain carpet.

much better to hash Take. two or
three slices of pork, fry them, take them
out, slice two onions into the pork fat,

come in contact with water, this glue
may be used with perfect safety. But
few of the many who would like to have

it, take glue of good quality, and dis
solve it in as small a quantity of hot
water as possible; then, while yet hot,
remove it from the fire and dilute it to
the proper degree of thinness by add
ing alcohol, after which it should be
bottled, and the mouth Of the bottle
covered with a piece Of India-rubber,
or anything else that will exclude the
air. Alcohol will preserve the glue
made in this way, for many years, keep
ing it from putrefaction in summer, and
from. freezing in winter. In cold wealth

make it ready for use. This oonve.
nient article has been in use in
England for many years, but has new
er been extensively known in this
country.

had spent the first thirty years of his
life. "Sparod through sickness and
danger, I have got here at lastl" and
his dark eyes glistenod as they wander

beauties Of earth were fading away;
but tho world seemed brighter to him
then, than in the June morning Of his
departure. His soul was at peace; and
he would have been joyful if it had
been day Of storm.
.Ah! in the land Of gold, he had
drunk a cup which was was bitter at first,
but street toward the last. Like some
dark spirit, he had wandered from place
to place, till sickness put an end to his
wanderings. Oh! what weary, weary
days followed! All through the long
days and longer nights, he was left
alone, save an occasional visit from his
physician. 1t was a time for solemn
thoughts. Ay, solemn voices came
whispering Of wasted years, neglected
priyileges crying mournfully, eye
knew your duty, butyo did it not.
While lying on his sick bed, Philip
looked up into his physicians face one
day, and asked him if he thought he
was going to die. The doctor glanced
at his wasted form, his eyes, SO deeply
Isunken, so unnaturally bright, and felt
that he dare not deceive him; for the
wistful looking face pleaded for the
truth.
~ fear SO" He said it very softly.
A slight groan was the only answer
but a tear rolled down Philips face, and
his eyes closed. The physician left
him alone.
