His manner Of reaching his conclusions, and
writing his opinions was Well known. Il IS be-
Iieved he took little part in the consultations Of

short, detached sentences, sometimes not at a
bat when he did. hitting the exact point, and
dltiusing additional light on the principles in
question. When appointed to deliver the opjn-
len, he generally made an examination Of the
authorizes, and sometimes, 1t must be admitted,
too br't an examination. His habit was then
to think chiefly without the ald of his pen, and
out o! The reach OF books. IL did this in his
chamber, on the street, a. the table, sometimes
on The bench during thr progress OF other eau
ses, and not unlreqHen'Iy IN the public room Of
his hotel. Persons Who.aPpfoached INN on these
occasions, were struck WITH, and sometimes

terminlng on what principles 10 pitch the cause,
without mentioning it particularly. He did
all the labor OF thought before he commenced
to write, and he never wrote until he was ready.
Before he began the very sentences we're for
med in his mind. and when he assumed the pen,
he rarely laid it aside until the opinion had
been completed. The bold, beautiful, and lrgi-
ble character OF his handwriting, ami its free
dom from a7asure, induced those who read his
manuscript, 10 suppose that he transcribed
them, but this was very rarely, if ever done; he
bad 100 little time, and too mnch horror Of !he
pen to attempt it, Such method Of writ ing
undoubtedly possessed great advantages. Ii

BEDFORD Pa FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER TO- 1858.

F 'u@tF, on the sOhhdeSl pFinClpIeS OF JuFiSpTu-
dence no allegation should be permitted against
him here. He certainly had smaIliaults, which
to small eyes were large enough TO shut out a
perception of his great qualities. He despised
the anlse and the cumIn, and necessarily lost
the respect OF those valuable members of the
State, outside and inside of the bar, who do the
least important things FIRST and the more lmpor-
tant last. Frank, generous aud con6ding, he
spoke on the bench and elsewhere, of persons
and OF things, with that impulse which anone
but an honest heart can know; and in doing so,
he occasionally lost in dignity as much as he
gained in the pleasure of giving expression to his
real sentiments in his own way. II, as presi-
ding officer, he had preserved order more rigld-
ly, his Court would have been a more solemn
place, and il he had attended more directly to
what was passing before him, the business would
have been more efficiently despatched. But e.
nough Of what be was not. The qualities which
he possessed were striking and peculiar. That
which most impressed those who knew him
best, was The exceeding Kindness Of his heart
The knowledge ofthis was a key to his charac-

Popping the question.

But why don't YOU get married?' said
q bouncing girl. with a laughing eye, to u
smooth-faced, innocent looking youth,
who blushed up to the eyes at the ques-
ton.
well, L said the youth, stopping
short with gasp, and fixing his eyes
upon vacancy, with a puzzled and foolish
expression.
well, 90 on, you what?' said the fair
cross questioner, almost imperceptibly in
clining nearer to the yonng man. Nov,
Just tell me right straight out, you what?'
why, 10, pshaw, | don't knowIh
you do, say you do now l want
TO know.
'Oh, can't tell you.
4 say you can. Why you know I'll
never mention it, and you may tell me, of
course, you know for haven't l always
been your friend?
We'll, you have, I know replied the
beleagured youth.
and I'm sure [ always thought You
liked me- went on the maiden i'll tender
and mellow accents.
ooh, do, upon my word-yes, indeed
I do, Maria said the unsophisticated
youth, very warmly, and he found that
Maria had unconsciously placed her hand
il his own palm.
Then there was a silence
'And then-well John?' said Maria,
dropping her eyes to the ground.
'Eh oh--well said John dropping
his eyes and Maria's hand at the same
time.
I'm pretty sure you love somebody,
John; in fact said Maria, assuming
again tone of railery, Il know you're in
love, and. John, why don't you tell me all
about it at oncc?'
We'll, u
'JFal, 1! Oh, you silly mortal, what
is there to be afraid OFF,

ria by the hand, and looking in her face
with most imploring expression.
why, of course you know, John, I'll
never breathe a word of it--you know |
wont, don't you, John?' This was spoken
in mellow whisper, and the CHEEKY
lips of Maria We're so near Johns ear
when she spoke, that, had he turned his
head to look at there might have occur
red an exceedingly dangerous collision.
We'll, Marie, said John. I've told you
now, and so you shall know all about it.

We'll, Maria, do you think Tn too
young to get married?
Indeed do not, John; and I know it
would bea good thing for you too, for
everybody says the sooner young people

With iinglng void, old and worn,
Grind on, wandering minstrel brown!
love to hear its echoes borne
Around our maple-shaded town.
Although the notes be harsh and rude,
The all suggestive simple air,
With soul and spirit unsubdued
Comes from the hurdy-gurdy there.
Back, at each distance softened tone,
Each half forgot, familiar strain,
The faded dreams in childhood known
And haunting memories come again.
All, sad and Wild, and brave and gay,
The changing measures float and fall !
l sec the dancers figures sway
In rhythmic cadence through the hall.
hear the neigh end horn aud drum
| see the plunes and shining steel,
And standards tapping as they come,
And cen the heavy tramping feel.
As Scotland's windy pibroch rings,
From ba!lad-songs and olden tales,
Up start the shades Of hunter kings,
And ride along the broomy wales.
Or, as the German measures thrill
The cfin waltz and lyric wild,
Dim, graceful thoughts the fancy fill,
And eyes are mostoned, though they smile.
The negro chorus rises free
What "grcat composer yet has found
Such quaint and plaintive melody
In all his monstrous maze Of sound
Hurrah tits Yankee Doodle's chime!
Hurrah the stormy Morseillaise
Pcrfidious Louis, hide thy time f!
Cheer, boys of Scott and Taylor's days.
Let cognosccnH whet their wits,
And breach their Wllimscys DER refined,
The hearty ballad-lnusic fits,
Thank heavens, my untaught ear and mind.
SO. welcome to our western shore,
Brown minstrel from across The water
But play thy programme through once moro,
And take my blessing and a quarter.
