THE DEVIL AND THE LAWYER.

The Devil came TO the earth one day,
And into courthouse he wended his way
Just as an attorney with q very grave face:
Was proceeding TO argue the "points In the easev
Now, lawyer his majesty never had seen,
For 70 his dominions none ever had been,
md he felt very anxious the reason TO knew,
Why none had been sent TO the regions below.
That none ofthese lawyers had ever been caught,
And for his own pleasure he felt desire,
To come to the earth and tho reason inquire.
Well, the lawyer who rose with q visage 30 grave,
Made out his opponent conSummats knave,
And the devil was really greatly amused
Tolhear the attorney so greatly abused.
But soon as the speaker bad come to q close,
The counsel opposing then hercey arose,
And he heaped such abuse on the head ofthe frst,
Thus they qusrrelled, contended and argued so
long,
Twas hard to determined which OF them was
wrong,
And concluded he'd heard quite enough Of the
t'fuss"
Old Nick turned away and soliloquizsd thus:
"ff all they have said Of each other be true,
The devil has surely been rotbsd OF his due;
But I'm satisfied now, its all very we'll
For these lawyers would ruin the morals Of hell.
They've puzzled the court with their villsinous
cavil,
And I'm free to confess the've puzzled the devil !;
Ny agents are right to let lawyers slone-
For they'd surely swindle me out Of my throne" !"

The board appointed to test Captain
Rodman's fifteen-inch gun have made
a favorable report, but advise further

has ordered the trial to be continued
until the gun shall have been shot five
hundred times. The longest range
acquired was five thousand seven hun

pounds-the elevation being twenty
eight degrees. The shell was in the
air twenty-seven seconds. At an ele-
vation of five degrees the shell struck
at two thousand yards; on a level
seventeen hundred and eighty-fve
yards. A shell, with seventeen pounds
of powder, exploded in the sand, open
ing a crater three feet deep, twelve
feet long and ten feet wide. After
the sixty-fourth shot the gun was ex-
amined with a star-guage, and no en-

The EARTHQUAKE OF "WEDNESDAY
LAsr.-A gentleman of the Obser-
vatory, Cambridge, Mass, who
sleeps in an upper room of the build
ing, was awakened at q few min
utes before 6 o'clock, on Wednes.
day morning, by an unusual noise,
which he at once recognized as
similar to that Of the earthquake
experienced in New England some
twelve years ago. There was ap.
parently vibratory motion Of the
earth, lasting ten or fifteen seconds,
which ratified the windows and
blinds and shook the bed. The
shock was also quite sensibly felt
In Arnold street, Boston at the
South-end at Jamaica Plains at
Charlestown and at Newburyport.
In the latter city, a gentleman who
was shaving, was obliged to desist.
the unusual motion causing a sen.
sible shaking of hands. At Charles.
town, the rafting of windows and
blinds was quite perceptible. At
Arnold street, lady imagined that
some one was under the bed, shak-
ing it. Some highly imaginative
persons in New York think that
they felt something of a shock there,
too, just about the same time.

House. SPARRows.-These, by far
the ugliest and most impudent of all
British birds, swarm in London and
the suburbs at all seasons, and are
said to number double the amount of
the human population within the
sound Of Bowbells. In the fall Of the
year, and throughout winter, they
congregate, about two hours before
sunset, in the nearest trees, and there
make such q din a. browns at times
even the roar Of London streets. It
is from this cause that so many trees
in the front grounds Of suburban vii
las, which would otherwise be allow
ed to grow to their fair proportions,
are mutilated and cut down to shape
less trunks. The sparrows in such
myriads in large tree are an intoler.
able nuisance, while their drippiDgs
poison the air. They are kept down
in the poplars at the end Of the Ter
race Gardens by the Terrace cats,
which promenade the top Of the walls,
and scale the trees after them, bag
ging them easily during their con.
claves. When pairing-time comes in
the spring, the sparrows, in their
eagerness to build, will fight like IT,
gers for a site for the nest. Year
and after year they build in the open
mouth of the waste-pipe from the
roof, and as regularly lose a portion
of their brood by the sudden showers
which wash them away. Their nests
are most slovenly affairs, and gener-
ally fall to pieces by the time they are
done with.-Ckam6ers's Journal.

CArArx SMrH.-Harper's Maya

CAPTA1N oMfTH.-HarperS MaBa-
zine for November, opens with an
illustrated page in the history of
Capt. John Smith. The page is a
new one, and the cuts good, though
not taken on the spot by "our own
artists" hence, in their tracing,
may be discovered, many lines in
dicatiDg, what is understood by
the poetic license" The writer,
claims for Smith q long line Of an-
cestors, with noble getting. lie
says "he could trace his line of pa
rental ancestry in Lancashire, back
to the Conquest, and his mother "a
Yorkshire woman) was far up on a
family tree" Smith could trace
mark, the subterfuge of q mere
writer Of paragraphs, in groveling
about in the dark for words to make
out the page. Smith could trace. If
he could, why did he not do it, for
the truth Of history? The reason is
obvious. Capt. John, knew nothing
moro Of his early ancestors than
large number of living members
of that very ancient family. In re-
ference to his parentage, the wri-
ter in Harper, says that Smiths
friend Barithwait, wrote, in a SON
net addressed to him on his return
from Virginia.
" Two gres, shires OF England did thee besre
Renowned Yorkshire, Gauntstiled lancashire
Why did not the writer do the
lines in ineligible English for us ?
As they stand, they leave ample
room to doubt whether or not,
Braithwait, himself, knew what he
was talking about. 1t is clear 10.
gic, based on correct principles of
ratciocinatioB, that Smith could not
have been born in two great shircs.
He may have been "born again /"
in modern pbraseology, by getting
religion in Yorkshire, and have
spent his youth in Lancashire. If 80,
and the writer for Harper had any
purpose in indicting the article
headed "Capt. John Smith " it was
his business to clear away the OBJ
security of "Braithwait." 1t is far
enough for people to go back in
new country like this, two hundred
and fifty years, to establish the fact,
that they had great, great grand
parents, who came into the world
in the the natural way. This can
be done by families in the Virgin
State, and we believe that the pur-
pose of the writer in Harper, is to
throw a cloud of doubt on the iden-
tity of John Smith, purposely to
raise the question again of "who
was Smith" This will be boot.
less effort. That there was suct a
man, and that he came within an
ace of having his brains knocked
out, and was saved by Pocabontas,
is fact, settled in the minds of all
of us is q fired fact, that every one
Of us, who has had the fortune to
see the picture, can be qualified to.
There is one new fact brought
forward by the Harper writer, which
elevates Smith in our estimation,
several degrees. 1t is this. Smith
had q coat of arms, upon which
were emblasoned armorial bear
ings This is some evidence of
nobility. Harper furnishes for the
first time cut, of the devices. We
are pleased to notice that Smith had
the good taste, and the good sense
to wear in the centre of his arms,
q likeness of himself. This is the
best evidence that has ever foated
