OF my client, and resolved to bring
matters to an issue at once. The next
day, when she called, she directed me
to her sister, by whom she could prove
that Mrs. Gordon could not write her
name: who had seen her make her
mark often, within short time.
The person who professed to have
witnessed the signature of Mrs. Cor
don, was clerk in Peters Office. My
first move was to take steps to arrest
him on charge of fraud, and to sue
his employer for my clients share of
the rents, which he had just collected,
and which he had refused to pay over
to her.
When 1 had proceeded thus far, /
received visit from Peter Gordon.
"What do you mean, sir?" he asked
rather sourly.
81 mean to tjustice forthe widow" /"
/ replied.
"Her husband was worth nothing
when he died"
"But his wife has one-third interest
in his real estate"
1t was sold to me, and she signed
away her right of DOVER"
"Did she?'
Certainly she did"
"Did you see her sign?"
"To be sure i did; so did my
clerk"
"There is warrant out for the ar
rest of your clerk; and | have some
hope that he will turn States evidence,
and convict his principal"
He started back with astonishment
and terror.
"I-I don't understand your he
stammered out.
"Don't trouble yourself, about it Mr..
Gordon, you will understand it all in
due time"
"For Gods sake, don't arrest my
clerk. He will be the ruin of me-
groaned he.
"You should have thought of that
BEFORE" / said.
"Do you mean to say that every
thing isn't all right about my brother
affairs? Because if it isn't, 1 will GER
tainly make it all right you know" he
whined in supplicant tones.
"You say you saw Mrs. Gordon sign
the deed?"
"Well-no; not exactly; but l sup
pose she signed it"
"Don't you know she didn't"
How should l know %
"She can't write! She never even
wrote her name in her life"
Gracious %
Ipressed the rascal closely and made
him acknowledge that his clerk had
signed the name for consideration. ]
would have caused them both to be
sent to the State prison, if Mrs. Cor.
don had not begged me to spare them
As it was, secured the entire income
ofthe estate for my client, and charged
my bill to Peter, who was but too glad
to pay it.

The Martha Washington Monument.

The Louisville Journal has the fol.
lowing of the Martha Washington
Monument:
We had the pleasure, if it was one,
of seeing this monument two or three
months ago. Its appearance was most
scandalous. We could scarcely lay
the ball of a finger upon any part of it
not disfgured by bullet and shot marks.
We suppose that everybody in all that
region who can shoot a gun, has taken
a pop at it at every opportunity.
The monument appears to be about
half finished, and has remained in its
present condition for several years.
The explanation of its being left in this
condition is this A New. York wild
over, wealthy and very vain of his
wealth, was courting, few years ago,
a young lady connected with the Wash
ington family. A monument to the
mother of Washington was at that time
talked of, and the amorous widower to
make display of riches and win the
favor of his lady love, claimed the priv
ilege of building it with his own re-
sources. By the expenditure of several
thousand dollars, he raised it rapidly to
its present height, but he did not rise
in Miss C.'s favor SO briskly as his stone
structure rose in the air. In fact, she
absolutely discharged him, and then, as
was to be expected he Indignantly re-
fused to pay for the laying of another
stone. Of course the structure, as no
one else saw fit to take hold of it, has
ever since remained at just the height
it had reached when the widower was
Tilted.

Gently made an expose of the smart
ness of one of our craft. "The Retired
Physician, whose sands of life had
nearly run out" is discovered to be a
journeyman printer, who, for two years
and half past, has been selling the
gullible public to the tune of two or
three hundred thousand. dollars. The
fellow has done the trade some service
it is true, for he has paid literally for
advertising his Cdnudbis h,dica," /"
and thereby proving the benefits Of
extensive advertising. He has realized
profit of 100000 it is said, and the
I" Retired Physician" can now retire
upon such substantial ldurels. We'll,
all will admit he has been smart. But,
had we been humbugged by him as
others have been, we should be willing
to let him go scott free for his excel
lent sell. True, it is obtaining money
under false pretences, yet the joke is
too clever for us to do more than laugh
at his dupes, and bid him go and sin
no more. Journal

Friendship, Love and Truth!


When friendship, love and truth abound,
Among band of brothers,
The smile of joy goes gaily round,
Each shares the bliss of others.
Sweet Roses grace the thorny way
Along this vale of sorrow,
The flowers that shed their leaves to-day
Shall bloom again tomorrow
CHoRUs-
How grand in age, how fair in youth
Are holy Friendship, Love and Truth"
How grand in age, how fair in youth
Are holy Friendship, Love and Truth"
On halcyon wings our moments pass,
Life's cruel cares beguiling,
Old Time lays down his scythe and glass
In gay, good humor smiling.
With ermine beard and forelock gray,
His reverned front adoring,
He looks like winter turned to May,
Night softening into morning.
How grand in age, &c.
From these delightful fountains flow
Ambrosial rills of pleasure.
Can man desire, can heav'n n bestow
A more resplendent treasure?
Adorned with gems so richly bright
Well form a constellation,
Where every star, with modest light,
Shall gid his proper station.
How grand in age, &c.
