DREAM OF A QUAKER LADY.

There is beautiful story told of pious
Quaker lady, who was addicted to smoking
tobacco. She had INDUCED herself in this
habit until it had increased so much upon
her, that she not only smoked her pipe q
large portion Of the day, but frequently sat
up in bed for that purpose, during the
night.
After one of these nocturnal entertain
ments she fell asleep, and dreamed that she
died and approached heaven. Meeting an
angel, she asked him if her name was written
in the book of life. He disappeared, but
replied, on returning, that be could not find
it.
'Oh,' said she, do look again it must be
there
lie disappeared again, but returned with
sorrowful face, saying that it was not
there.
OH said she in agony, 'it mnst be there!
l have an assurance that it is there! Do look
once moren
The angel was moved to tears by her en-
treaties and again left her and renewed his
search. After long absence, he came back,
his face radient with joy, and exclaimed,
I'VE have found it, but it was SO clouded
with tobacco smoke, that We could hardly
see it,
The good woman on awakening immedi-
ately threw away her pipe, and never induls-
ed in smoking aga:n.

CO An anecdote is related of court
held in village not thousand miles from
Paris, during the past year, which we regard
as one of the richest in its line, Of any that
has been recorded, and give it to our read.
ers. rs nearly as we recollect it.
The case on trial was for the sale of in
toxicating liquor. The principal witness
was sngularly obtuse; and though confess
ing to have made purchase, could not for
the life of him tell what the article was.-
The most ingenious questioning would not
bring it out. At last the Attorney asked
him "IIow did it taste!"
81 DINO !" replied the witness.
Here "the court" intcrposed, alleging
that to be an improper question, and inquir-
ed of the attorney why he put such an in
terrogatory.
"Well, your honor" replied the attorney,
sT was unable to make the witness tell what
kind Of liquor he bought, but thought if he
would tell how it tasted, the Court might be
able to determine for itseifw
The hit WAS too palpabie: and not even
the solemnity of the place or the cause, was
sufficient to repress the mirth of the audience.
