Testimony Enough.

A story is told of very eminent
lawyer, in New York, receiving q Sc.
we're reprimand from a witness on the
stand, whom he was attempting to
brow beat. 1t was an important is
sue, and in order to save his cause
from defeat, it was necessary that Mr..
A should impeach the wiLness,--
He endeavored to do it on the ground
of age. The following dialogue en-.
sued:
"How old are You ?"
"Scventy-two years"
"Your memory, of course, is not
so brilliant MS it was twenty years
ago, is it ?"
II do hot know but it is."
"State some circumstances which
occurred, say twelve years ago, and
we shall be able to see how we'll you
can remember"
II appeal to your honor if am to
be interogated in this manner--it is
insolent."
"Yes, sir, state it," replied the
Judge"
"Well, sir, If you compel me to dc
it, / will. About twelve years ago
you studied in 'udge H-'s office
did you not ?"
Eyes"
swell, sir I remember your father
coming into my Office and saying to
me, Mr.. D., my son is TO be ex'
amined tomorrow, and wish you
would lend me fifteen dollars TO buy
him a suit Of Clothes ! remember
also, sir, that from that day to this
he has never paid me that sum-
That, sir, remember, as though i
had been but yesterday"
The lawyer said, considerably abash
ed: -
"That will do, SIR" To which tn
witness replied:

A specnIniio /.


took place in Baltimore, few year,
since. As an evidence of the trutl
ofthe event, it is said that the com
pamons of the young woman were not
very long in discovering that one OF
their number, all Of sudden, left
their ranks:
"Ilow do you sell these flowers p
said n goodlooking stranger of one
of the Southern States to pretty lit.
tie damsel in the market, who had
hitherto been compelled to sell pinks,
poses and similar notions, honestly
to maintain herself and family.
"Twenty five cents, sir" said the
maiden, holding up to the gaze Of the
stranger sweet scented bunch.
"Cheap," said the gentleman.
"Indeed they are" said the maiden.
$50 much so that l cannot posi-
bly, conceive how you can make u
living at the business"
"Ah, sir" said the pretty little
damsel, "the times are so hard that
we are compelled to do the best we
can. BY economy, sir, we manage
to get along. Did those who live in
glittering palaces but know how Sc
we're is the lot Of the poor and defect
ed, we might, perhaps, get a trihe
more for our labor But, alas sorry
/ am to be compelled to say it, truly,
justice is blind, and dim, indeed, is
the vision Of opulence."
Here the stranger, touched by the
powerful remarks of the pretty flow
er-girl, was seen to drop his head and
let fall tear Of sorrow. Recovering
however. he continued as follows:
"Here, my pretty one, why not
turn your attention to something
more profitable 2"
II know not what, SIR" said the
girl.
"Why not turn your attention to
speculation 2"
"But / know not what kind, sir"
said the girl; "and if did ! am not
possessed of the capital"
oh" said the gentleman, "there
are some kinds of speculation in
which to meet success capital is not
required"
"Name it, sir"
Marriage"
"Sir," said the little maiden, ''my
chances in that kind of speculation
are poor-poor indeed. "
perhaps not so poor as you imag
inc"
IL have now on my hands n dear
father and mother to support by my |
little earnings, and to marry youth
as poor as myself would only be heap
ing misfortune on our already over
burdened shoulders"
"Bnt, perhaps, in the search you
might fall in with some one who has
more of this world'r treasures than
yourself" -
"But to get him." modestly articu-
lated the girl.
"Twcre an easy task if he loved
you"
"But where shall / find him p
Which way shall l look"
"Ilere, my pretty one" said the
gentleman, at the same time throwing
his eyes upon the young girl in such
Il manner as to leave no doubt on her
mind that she was adored by the
stranger,
The couple became more
intimate with each other The stran-
ger bought the flowers of the maiden,
and, as compensation, he gave her
II fortune of one hundred thousand
dollars, with written contract that
himself should be thrown into the
bargain.
They are man and wife; the aged |
parents are comforted in theii declin-
ing years the maiden is no longer
obliged to vend her nosegays, and
the stranger, doubtless, blesses the
hour he visited the City of Monu-
ments, and went to buy the blue. eyed
charming flowers.
