THE CULPRIT JUDGE

In one of the Western states | was

the prairies away from the woodland had
not yet heard the scream of the steam
whistle. All branches of society, Of
trade, business, and professions, were in
a transition state. OF course the Judges
were not men of vast learning or rare
character; and, least | appear vain. I
may add, that the lawyers were by no
means Chief Justice Taneys.
The Judge who travelled the circuit

ANOTHER HAT.FULL, JOEL.

A short yarn was spun TO US last eve
ming of and concerning the experiment. Of
milling of couple of friends of ours, now
or lately sojourning for health and pleas
ure at the Talladega Springs. Il is un-
necessary to give the names of these
gentlemen, but for convenience we will
call them, respectively, John and Joel.
They, it may be remarked, have great
similarity of tastes, and among other PEN
chants, are very fond of fishing; and
everybody knows that the vicinity OF
Talladega Springs offers fine opportunity
10 the skillful knight of the fly.
Thus John and Joel--there being no
religious services at the Springs that day
went out, Sunday before last, 10 the
mill of Mr.. P, mile or two down
the creek, with a view to dinner of
small trout and cream. With them went
their invited guest, Mr.. Smith, and
"Miles" "contrived" them down bottle
or two of wine.
The party was snug; the wind was
propitious; and the fish altogether AMIGA
BILE. A cosy nice dinner of brown and
crisp mountain fish was soon washed
down with few glasses of Champagne,
and then cigars.were lit. As the smoke
curled languidly about their noses, Satan.
(who was invisibly present, without an
invitation) suggested to John, that that
mill was ''a slow COACH" and couldn't
cut much lumber; and John expressed
the same opinion to Joel. Joel thought
differently, and so did Smith.
"Lei try her," said John.
"Agreed," said Joel and Smith.
II was short work; large pine log lay
at right angles across the carriage Of the
mill; and it was agreed 10 ''let her rip"
through this. Accordingly, the gate was
raised and Immediately the stiffness Of
'lhe grand old woods" was broken by the
rapid sharpe strokes of the saw. In a
minute the log was brought up and the
saw went rapidly through.

and John essayad to do so.
But the thing wouldn', be stopped, but
went Gathering away, as hard as ever!
Stop her, John, or by the Lord she'll
split herself in iwo," shouted Joel. But
all the fixtures were obstinate and re-
fused to yield to the exertions of John
and Smith. On went the saw, while
John aud Joel persPired.
Presently the carriage presented some
metallic obstruction to the passage OF the
saw, but "true as steel,' i, went against

In the place Of the smiles. twas wont to wear.
He srrinkled the ebon locks with gray.
And faded the light of the eyes away,
And the reaper smiled at the mourners grief
As he gathered home this ripened sheaf.
Time stood By the forest dim and oil,
As its thousand years were vell nigh told,
And It's fallen kings lay moulderng there,
Where the gray moss swung in the chilly air.
Frsm ocean, to oceans distant shore.
That trackless forest shadowed Ger;
But nations toll, where the wildwood leaves
Were garnered once with that reaper's she&ves.
Time stood on Baaibec's giant walls,
And paced through proud Pslnyrs's halls,
And like an echo of his tread
Game funeral wailngs for the dead;
And now the desert blast alone
sighs or each fallen nonsrchs throne,
The only spirit abroad, that grieves
Over these long since gathered shesyes.
Time leaned against the humble shed
That Sheltered the starving peasants head,
And their hear.st-ings broke as the roof fell in,
The groans OF the dying were drowned in the din.
What recked old time the peasants woes,
Who had smiled On dying nations throes-
Alike to him mans joy or grief,
Al he gathers one more ripened sheaf.
Yet xsiteth not that reaper dread,
For the flower to wither and droop its head,
For he cuts with his sickle sharp and keen,
The golden ear and the ieaiet green.
The bale that sports on its grandsire's knee.
And the gray old man alike takes he,
And he laughs as he binds the tender leaves
VITA the ripened grain Of his harvest sheaves.
Alone that silent reaper stands
As he binds his shesTe with his beny hands.
And he scans the field Of his harvest Ger,
As ne scaned it shousana years before.
And he laughs as he watches the runy toll
or those whose labors he makes his spoil,
For the world and its creatures like Autumn leaves,
lie binds together-Tine's Harvest Sheaves.
