The Il Haddonfeld eng Eramaner tells
a good story aud vouches for its truth:

railroad company. fond of female society,
paid court 10 two young women, servants,
in gentle family. As % after of
course they were made welcome, and re-
galed with tit-bits from the cupboard. At
each visit the supper tray, after it bad
left the masters table, was set before
then. and they generally did ample JUS
tice to it. BY some means it oozed out
that these ardent lovers were both mar.
ried men, and it got to the ears of their
lady lovers. The latter were Of course
indignant, and as a suitable retribution
for the imposition practiced upon them,
obtained two young cats which they made
into nice looking pie.
On the night of the next visit from
their unsuspectiDg admirers, piece of
the pie was cut as though it bad come
FROM the supper table, and the two sat
down with keen relish, and satisfied
the cravings of their hunger When
they bad finished their repast, they were
asked bow they eujoyad their supper
"First rate, said one; "capital," said the
other. "Then run home, was the reply, |
"and tell your wives you have had your
suppers of eat piel" To convince them
of the reality of the trick that bad been
played upon tbcm. one or two of .he paws
of the deceased feines were produced and
exhibited. As the despicable husbands
made their ignominious retreat, they were

flight. News of the affair got abroad,
aud whenever the two men showed their
faces, they were met with ceaseless cries
of "mew, new, me~," aud they were
compelled to leave the place.

This was a singing retort, and Mac
felt it; but another worsbipful member OF
the Court--a dry, hard looking old black

work, and completely demolished the
young lawyer:
"We might fne you," be said, "but we

The present war is frequently said to
be a war for GoyeTnment-a war to
show to the world that We have Govern
ment. This is bet partial expression
of the right and duty of the Fight. Tit
is the surface only of the truth. The
war that the United States Government il
wagiDg, is war for the rights, the prop
erty and the. frshcises of many millions
of its citizens 1t is a war for tae direct
rights of twelve millions, as against the
direct usurpation of three millions. Il is
not for honor merely, not for barren rights,
but for vital and fudefeasible rishts, that
can only be parted With when inexorabIe
fate extinguishes Nation. and its wreck
is swept away with the Debris of things
