4 COURT SCENE AT NoRTHAMPToN.-
Last spring two persons were arrested
for fighting, and brought before justice
Peck for settlement. The counsel for
the defense, an ex- member of Congress,
whose habit OF pIow-DeatinS witnesses
is one of his strongest points, drew out
of one Of the witnesses the fact that he
was Justice of the Peace, and that he
had called upon the parties as a magis-
trate to desist. In his plea the counsel
said the evidence of the witness was of
no value, and would stink in the nos
trils of any jury. The witness at the
close of the trial remarked to the coun-
sci. that he thought his own evidence
would be considered as highly by any
jury, as the services of the counsel had
been by his constituents sghei5 at WaShtng-
ton. On Wednesday the same case was
up for trial and the counsel attempted
the same game upon the witness, who
turned upon him with the reply; 'f Mr..
counsel, you must not use such Ian
guage to me. You tried once before,
but | overlooked it then as yOa 90ere
dyun&." The counsel wilted.

THE POWER TO SAY "No. THE purity
of moral habits is, am afraid, Of very
little Use to man, unless it is accom-
panied by that degree of flrmness which
enables him to act up to what he may
think hight in spite of solicitations to
the contrary. Very few young men
have the power of negation in any de-
gree atflrst. 1t increases with the in
crease Of confidence, and with the expe-
rience Of those inconveniences which
result from the abselste Of this virtue.
Every Young man must be exposed to
temptation he cannot learn the ways
of men without being witness to their
vices. If you attempt to preserve him
from danger by keeping him out Of the
way OF it, you render him quite unfit
for anystyle of life in which he may be
placed. The great point is, not to turn
him out too soon and to give him 8
pilot atfirst.-SldseJ al SmiH.

The TRIALs.-The argument of Rev
erdy Johnson before the military court
was by agreement to have been made
last Friday. The arguments of other
counsel for the defense, and in behalf of
individuals, will follow, and occupy a
week probably. 1t is further calculated
that Judge Advocate Holt will present
the final argument on behalf of the
prosecution on Saturday, the oath inst,
and on the Monday following the com
mission will conclude its work by the
finding and sentence. The sentence
cannot, under the rule, be promulgated
until after it has been approved by the
President; so that the end of the trial
may not be reached before the 1st day OF
July.

A PRACTICAL JoKE.-Everybody is
aware that there is part of "Holyoke
city" called "Tigertown," where a large
portion of the manufacturing capital is
invested. Quite number Of the opera
tiyes live at such distance from their
work that they carry their dinners with
them. For qnite while one honest and
simple-minded lad had been dinnerless,
not that he neglected to take 1t to the
mill with him, but some one (parties
now well known) had stolen 1t. His
mother, wise and cunning woman, as
many Of her sex are, finally conceived
the idea of playing the thief or thieves
a trick, which she did in this way. Ma
king a quantity of nice cake, she COW
cred the same with generous thickness
Of frosting, adding to the ingredients a
like generous quantity Of Tartar Emet-
ic. The consequence was that the ply
sicians were called suddenly into requi-
sition and several boys and young mems
lives were despaired of. We presume
cake stolen again will be handled with
more care by the pilferers.-SprmgfsN

WASHINGTON ALLsToN. Soon after
Allston's marriage with his first wife,
the sister of the late DR.. Charming, he
made his second visit to Europe. After
a residence there Of little more than
a year, his pecuniary wants became
very pressing and urgent-more so than
at any other period Of his life. On one
Of these occasions, as he himself used to
narrate the event, he was in his studio,
rejecting with feeling of almost des-
peration upon his condition. His con-
science seemed to tell him he had de-
served his Affections, and drawn them
upon himself, by his want Of due graft
tude for past favors from heaven. His
heart, all at once, seemed filled with the
hope that God would listen to his pray
ers, If he would offer up his direct ex-
pressions Of penitence and ask for divine
aid. He accordingly locked his door,
withdrew to a corner of the room, threw
himself upon his knees, and prayed for
a loaf of bread for himself and wife.
While thus employed, he heard knock
at the door. 4 feeling of momentary
shame at being detected in this position,
and feeling of fear lest he might have
been observed, induced him to hasten

The PRICE OF CoPPERBBADs.-Itc came
out in the trial Of the assassins at WASH
ington, on Friday, that in one instance
at least the Hon. Benjamin Wood of New
York, editor of the New York News,
and member of congress from New
York city, received $4,000 from the On
tario bank of Canada. There is no at
tempt to deny that the money really
came from Jake Thompson, the chief
rebel agent in Canada, and it requires no
stretch of the Imagination to suppose
that the money was to pay Wood for
using his paper in the interest of the
rebels. This testimony is chiefly inter-
esting as showing how much was paid
by the rebels for first class copperhead.
We do not suppose the rebels have paid
all the copperheads in the North so lib
orally as that, and probably good
many were not paid at all, but worked
in the rebel interest out of "pure GUS
sedness." But Wood was worth this
sum to the rebels. 1t cannot be denied
that he did his work well, and as long
as they had any, we presume the rebels
didn't begrudge the money. But now
that we know the precise price of Wood.
it becomes an interesting question how
much copperheads of lesser note were
paid men who were not members Of
Congress, and had less influence than
Ben Wood, was supposed to have. How
much, for instance, was paid for the
Boston Courier or the Chicago Times ?
These papers worked good deal cheaper
than Wood and his News, we have no
doubt; still it would be interesting to
know the exact amount of their wages,
and we hope the Investigation at Wash
ington will go on till we have all the
facts.-Springfeld Republican. ........-

THE UNsPEAKABLE WoRn.-It is evi-
dent that there is one word which hence.
forth no public man will dare to pro-
nounce in America, unless he does so for
the purpose of execrating that which it
characterizes-we refer to the word re-
1ldiation. Mr.. Wendell Phillips was
thoughtless enough to speak the word
lalely, and the storm of execration was
so tremendous and universal, that even
he was compelled to wriggle himself
outsidge of what he had said.
There is lesson and warning here
to all politicians and to all parties.
which they will do well to heed, and
which they are very likely to heed. No
man or party dare put out a suggestion
of National dishonor when all men and
parties in the nation are interested in
sustaining its honor. The sensitiveness
of the people on this matter is very in
tense, as Wendall Phillips must know.
