DOMESTIC HAPpIsEss.-Dcpend on it,
there's great deal of domestic happiness
IN well-dressed mutton chop, or tidv
breakfast table. Men grow sated of mn-
SIC, are often too wearied for conversation,
however intellectual but they can always
appreciate well swept hearth and smiline
comfort. A woman may love her husband
devotedly, may sacrifice fortune, friends,
family, country for him-sRe-may have the
genius ola Sapphos the enchanting beau
ties of Armida, but melancholy fact. If
With these she fail to make his bone com
Portable, his heart will inevitably escape
her. And women live so entirely in the
affections, that without love their affections.
are void. Better submit, then to house
hold tastes, than doom yourself to a love
less hoaae. Women of the higher order
of mind will not run this risk they know
ihat their feminine, their domestic duties.

~
. "Gentlemen Of the jury" said Western
lawyer, cit is With feelings Of no ordinary
conmotion, that rise to defend my injur-
ed client from the attacks that have been
made on his heretofore unapproschable
character. feel, gentlemen, that though
. good deal smarter than any of you, even
the Judge himself, yet am utterly imcom-
petent to present this case in that magnani-
NOUS and heart-rending light which its i'm.
portance demands; and trust, that what
ever lack in presenting the subject, will be
immediately made up by your own natural
good sense and discernment, if you have
got any.
'sThe counsel for the prosecution, gentle
mon, will undoubtedly heave dust in your
eyes. He will tell you that his client is pre-
eminently man of functions-that he is a
man Of undeubted and implacable verscity-
that he would scorn to fetch an action
against another, merely to crafty his own
personal corporosity; but, gentlemen, let me
cautionate you how to rely upon such spa
cious reasoning like this. myself, appre-
bend that this suit has been willfully and
maliciously fotch, gentlemen, for the sole
and only purpose Of ow-beating my client
here, and in an eminent manner grinding the
face Of the poor; and apprehend, also, if
you could but look into that mans heart,
and read there the motives which have i'm
PEELED him to fotch this suit, such a picture
of moral turpentlne and heartfelt gratitude
would be brought to light as has never be-
fore been exhibited since the Falls of Niaga-
"a.
"Now, gentlemen, want to make bril-
liant appeal to the kind symmetries of your
nature and see if can't warp your judg-
ment little in favor Of my unfortunate
client here, and then shall fotch my argu-
ment to close.
"Here, gentlemen, is poor man, with a
numerous wife and child depending upon
him for their bread and butter, wantonly
fetched up here and arranged before an in
telligent jury on the charge of ignominious-
~ hooking-yes, hooking six quarts of new
cider. You, gentlemen, have been placed
in the same situation, and you know how to
feel for the unfortunates Of my client, and
humbly calculate that you will not permit
the gushings of your sympathizing hearts to
be crushed in the bud by the surreptious
and superogating arguments of my ignorant
opponents Of the other side.
"The law expressly declares, gentlemen,
in the beautiful words of Shakespeare, that
where no doubt exists Of the guilt of the
prisoner, it is your duty to lean on the side
Of justice, and fotch him in innocent. If
you keep this fact in view in the case of my
client, gentlemen, you will make friend of
him and all his relations, and you can alters
look upon this occasion and reflect with
pleasure that you did as you have been done
by. But, if on the other hand, you disre-
gard this great principle of law, and set at
nought my eloquent remarks, and fotch him
in guilty, the silent witches of conscience
will follow you over every fair-corn6eld,
reckon, and my injured and down-trodden
client will be pretty apt 70 light on you some
of these nights, as my cat lights on sarser
of milk"
