Rather a misunderstanding

Mr Pilkinston, small farmer in Pennsyl-
yania, was some time ago drafted for the
service of his contry. His wife, though she
possesses but small stock of general infor-
NATION is one of the best conjugal partners,
and she was much troubled at the thought
Of parting with her husband. AS she was
engaged in scrubbing off her door steps, a
rough lnoking stranger came up and thus
addressed her:
Il hear, ma am, that your husband has
been drafted.
eyes, SIR. he has answered Mrs Pix
inston, Though dear knows, there few

their families. :,
"Well, ma am, I've come to offer myself
as substitute for him.
IA what?" asked Mrs. Pilkinston. with
some excitement.
"Tm willing to take his place said the
stranger.
"You take the place of my husband, you
wretch! I'll teach you to insult a distress

Mrs. Pilkinson, as she discharged the dirty
soap-suds in the face of the discounted and
astonished substitute, who took to his heels
just in time to escape having his head bro

Even Handed Justice.

A pleasant country village in Ohio some
years since possessed that which is often de-
MED to places of more consequence "a court
which really dispensed justice. Its chief
was Justice Of the Peace, whose good
common sense and honesty Of purpose coun-
terbalanced his want OF legal lore; and in
consequence Of its straightforward decision,
the Dutch Court, as it was popularly
called, became n great terror to eyil-docrs.
Once upon time case was brought be-
fore his Honor, arising out of an intractlon
Of the liquor law" Of the State, which
then provided for the punishment by fine
of any individuals who sold Intoxicating
beverage to persons under sixteen years of
age, or by less quantity than quart
Upon one of those occasions when gen
eral muster of the militia gave delight to
numerous officers in gay uniforms, and to
large masses of the good people Of the
country, an unlucky wight sought to avail
himself of the q glorious" opportunity to
turnan hencst penny. Providing himself with
q small lot Of ginger cakes and a dispropor-
t;onately large stock of lightning whisky,
he located upon an cleigible site near the
field. Knowing the penalty of the law
against his little enterprise, the ycnder of
"the arden" hit upon the happy expedl-
ens, to avade its provisions, Of selling to his
customers a ginger cake, and then throwing
drink into the bargain,
Justice was not so blind as to fail to no.
tice this arttul dodge, and the next
morning found the delinquent citizen III the
very Jaws of the Dutch Court. The
testimony was short and conclusive, to the
effect that he had sold boy cake, and
then had given him horn; and the de
fendants lawyer put in the defence that his
client sold, on the occasion under consider
alton, not liquor but ginger cakes, we'll
knowing at the time, that salt wouldn' t save
Eim. As he anticipated, the Court pro
neunced verdict Of guilty but, to the sur
pris of the defence, put the fine at fifteen
dollars, instead of the legal penalty of five.
May it please the Court, interposed
defendant $ counsel, is there not some mis-
take in this sentence? The statutes pro-
vido for fine Of but five dollars for each
offence. There is but one offence proven
and we are ready to pay that fine, but VIC
held it az contrary to the plain reading OF
the law, to make the penalty fifteen dol
lars. "
'"There is no mistake at all" replied tht
Court. ''The law says five dollars for each
offence. Now | fines this man five dollars
in the first place, for selling less than :
quart of viskv; fines him, in the seconc
place, five dollars for selling visky to,a boy
and fines him, in the third place, five dol
lars for trying to screen himself behind
gingor-cakc.
The fine was paid, and no appeal taken.
