4 DUTcH JUDGE.-A friend gives an
amusing idea of a dutch Judge" in
the following sketch
He was about to sentence a prisoner,
aud on looking around for him, found
him playing checkers with his custodian,
while the foreman of the jury was fast
asleep. Replenishing the ample judi
cial chair with his broadcast person, he
thus addressed the Jury :
"Mr. Norman and toder Jurymens-
Der prisoner, Hans Nleeter, is vinished
his game mid der Sheriff, and has peat
him, but shall take care he don't peat
me. lie has been dited for murder be-
fore you, and you must ping in der
verdict. but it must be 'cording to der
law. Der man he KILT wasn't kilt at
all, as it is brooved he is in the Jail at
Morrisdown for sheep-stealing. But
dat ish no matter Der law says, ven
dere ish a tout, you shall give him to
der prisoner; but dere ish no tout, so
you see he ish guilty. Pesides, he ish
a great loafer. hat know'd him Witty
year, and he hasn't done a sditch of
work IN all dat times, and dere ish no
NO one defending OF him for DER Twin,
and he is no use to nc pody. l thinks
it would pc good plans to hang him for
de example. Idink, Mr.. Voremans, dat
be peter pc hung next fourt' O. July, as
der militia ish goin' to drain in anoder
county, und der would be no vun goin'
on here"
1t should be added, to the credit of
the jury, that in spite of this LEARNED
and impartial charge" they acquitted
the prisoner" finding him mot guilty.

lowing of q ssheo tanner " in that place:
"One of the remarkable sights on
the 4th Of July, was Mr.. Twining and
Queen Bee. The day before he came
into our Office with an old plug hat. tie
had two holes in it about midway to the
crown-one in front, the other in tho
back part. Holding tho hatin his hand
and turning it over 50 us to show that 1t
WINS empty, he said, You see that this
hat is now empty" Tomorrow | intend
to have q swarm of boos i'll it making
honey. and | intend to wear it on my
head with the bees in it. Sure enough,
on tho Fourth, as wo were going INTO
the grove, we came across MT. iWllIhS,
He was located under Il shady tree, and
WAS exhibiting to an admirjng crowd OF
mon and women his wonderful patent
bco-hiye. On his head was the idcntl,
cal hat that he had shown us the day
before. 1t was literally covered Hove
with bees, busy at work, going III ant
out at tho oritices before mentioned
All tho spare space in the hat was iiilc'
with now combs that had boon made
within twelve hours. In his hand h
held the Queen bee, which he was show
ing to every one who would venture nea
enough to gaze on and admire the won
derfui little insect. During all the tim
he was giving an eloquent and instruc
five lecture on tho habits, worth an

rVne Two Armies.


AS life's unbending column pours,
Two marshaled hosts are seem
Two armies on the trampled shores
THAT death flows back between.
One marches to the drum beats roll
The wide-mouthed clarion's bray
And bears upon the crimson SCROLL
ssOur glory is to-slay."
! One moves in silence by the stream,
With sad, yet watchful'eye'
Calm as the patient planets gioam
K That walks the clouded sky.
SAlono it's front no sabres shine,
No blood-red pennons wave;
It's banner bears the single llno'
".Our duty is to save"
For those no death-beds lingering shade'
At honor's trumpet-call,
With knitted brows and lifted blade
In Glory's arms they fall.
For these no clashing falchions bright
No stirring battle-cry;
The bloodless stabber calls by night
Echo answers Here am | ~
For those tho sculptor's marble dust
The builders marble piles,
The anthems peaing DER their dust =
Through long cathedral aisles.
For these the bosom sprinklod turf
That floods the lonely graves,
When spring rolls in her sea-green SURF
In howery foaming waves.
Two paths lead upward from below
And angels wait above,
who count each burning drops fiow'
Each falling tear of love.
Though from the Hero'sbleeding breast
Her pulses Freedom drew
Though the white lilies in the crest
Sprang from that scarlet dew
While Valor's naughty champions wait
Till all their scars arc shown,
Love walks unchallenged thro' the gate
To sit beside the Throne
