Caught in his Own Trap.

. a girl l,Iyoung and pretty, and above all
eifted with an air of admirable candor,
lately presented herself before Partisan
lawyer. s@s
"Monsieur, have come to consult you
upon a grave affair. I want you to oblige
a man love to marry mein spite of him
self. How shall I proceed"
The gentleman ofthe bar had, ofcourse,
sufficiently elastic conscience: He re-
fectedla moment, and then, being sure
that no third person overheard him, re-
piled, hesitatingly:
"Mademoiselle, according to our law,
you always possess the means of forcing
man to marry you. You must remain
on three occasions alone with him; you
can then 60 before a judge, and swear
that he is your lover"
"And will that suffice, Monsieur |"
eyes, Mademoiselle, with one further
condition"
"Well"
aThen you will produce witnesses who
will make oath to have seen you remain
good quarter of an hour with the indi-
yidual said to have trifed with your af-
fections"
every we'll, Monsieur, / will retain you
as counsel in the management of this af-
fair. Good day"
A few days afterwards the young lady
returned. She was mysteriously received
by the lawyer, who scarcely giving her
time to seat herself questioned her with
the most lively curiosity.
| tsHopitoI conitaIV
"Persevere in your design, Mademoi-
selle; but mind, the next time you come
to consult me give me the name of the
young man you are going to make 30
happy in spite of himself"
HYou shall have it without fail"
A fortnight afterward, the young lady
again knocked at the door of the counsePs
room. No sooner was she within, she
flung herself into q chair, saying that the
walk had made her breathless. Her
counsel endeavored to reassure her, made
her inhale salts, and even proposed to un-
loose her garments.
"It is useless, Monsieur" she said, 81
am much better"
"Well, now, tell me the name of the
fortunate mortal" :.
"Well, then, the fortunate mortal, be it
known to you is-yourself" |" said the
young beauty, bursting into laugh, ~
| love you; have been here three times
tete-a-tete with you, and my four wit
nesses are below, ready and willing to ac.
company me to o magistrate" gravely
continued the narrator.
The lawyer, thus caught had the good
sense not to get angry. The most singu.
lar fact of ali is that he adores his young
wife, who, by the way, makes an excel
lent housekeeper.

The TRUTH.-There is nothing better,
nothing safer, nothing so sure Of bringing
forth the right fruit in the end, than
truth. Tell your child the truth. Tell
him that obedience requires unpaid sacri-
fees. Tell him that he need not expect
that a purse of gold will drop into his
hand the moment be denies himself of q
coveted treasure. Tell him that the path
of duty is often terribly hard, and seldom
leads to On oil we'll, or seat in Congress,
or to brown stone front house. Tell
him that virtue sometimes brings thorns,
enmities, neglect But tell him that it is
virtue, nevertheless the brightest, the
noblest, and the best gifts, and whatever
comes of goodness it is the one thing de-
sirable, itself above all price. Make him
feel that obedience is pleasure, that good
ness is delight, that love is altogether
lovely, and he will not expect to be paid
for the smallest service and be tempted to
withhold kindness when he is not sure
of O reward. Parents must cease ap-
pealing to the appetites and the avarice
of their children if they would have them
anything but selfish and sensual.

The Duty OF You've MEN IN THE
SoUTH.-The Southwestern, a journal pub
lished at Shreveport, Louisiana, in the
course of an article upon the wants OF
the South, urges the young men of that
section to devote their attention to agri-
culture, and thus take the places of the
thousands of freedmen who have left the
Southern States or been killed during the
war. 1t urges them to prepare, during
the coming winter, for the putting in of
crops in the spring upon the rich but idle
acres of the South. Says that journal :
"We have too many stout young men in
the South, shameless burdens on the
Drawn and muscle of better men than
themselves-worthless young men, who
ride the laborer as the Old Man OF the
Sea fastenened himself on the back of
Sinbad the Sailor. 1t is time that they
were shaken of, and compelled to sweat
for themselves"

SIGNS OF A HARD W1NTER.-The phe-
nomena which usually presage, according
to the notions of the very observant in
such matters, the approach of hard win
ter are becoming marked as the season
progresses. Hives are said to be over
flowing with honey; the husks of corn
are declared to be of extra thickness, and
the f1rs OF animals are pronounced ex-
ceedingly rich and heavy. 1t is observ-
ed, too, that the rats are travelling east
wardly in great numbers, and the squir-
rels are making arrangements on an in
creased scale for the storage of nuts.

a piece of maple su gar which he drew
from his pocket, he made dash at me,

in planting kiss upon my nose, greatly
to the delight OF the company.

A GREAT SpEEoH.-Hooper, Of the
Montgomery (Ala3 Mail, once gave the
following report of the greatest speech
he ever heard:
A fellow was indicted up in the old
ninth, when Tom CT was solicitor,
for gambling, to wit: Playing short
cards, at a certain locality known as
Frog Level. Col. N defended him,
and contended before the jury, that
though the States evidence tended to
show that his client, with bottle of Ii
quor in his pocket, accompanied the
crowd, who, it was shown, did actually
play. vet it never did, with absolute GER
tainty locate him as one of the players.
Said he, by way Of peroration:
Gentlemen of the iury-The witness
have told you that Peter Wyatt was thar,
and playing, for he noticed his hand,
and it was a full on queens
Harry Snow was thar, and he was a
playing, for he hilt too little par
William Upson was thar, and he play
ed, cause witness noticed in particular,
that he had nothin' but an ace
Bill Connor was thar, and he played,
gentlemen, for he had the bully hand
four high-heeled jacks
But, gentlemen, when I como to ask
him about Abraham Pitken-my clients
hand-what did he say? Why, nothin' ,
gentlemen, except that if Abe hilt any
hand, he disremembered it! And now,
gentlemen of the jury, because my client
was seen going down to Frog Level with
bottle Of liquor in his pocket, and the
witness can't remember as he hilt any
hand at all, when bully hands was out,
and him the best player in the crowds
that's that say, gentlemen Of the
jury, is that any reason that my client
was guilty of the crime Of gambling?
1t is almost needless to say that the
jury saw the non-sequitur and acquitted
the defendant.

Seven years after that, a wealthy man
entered the political arena, and was pre-

Congressional nomination. The princi-

the name and history of the applicant,
who was a member Of the church, and
one of the most respectable citizens. He
was chairman. The vote was tie and
he cast negative; thereby defeating the

in her bridal robes when I descended the
ladder.
She was magnificent in q green calico
over crinoline full four inches larger
than the rest of her apparel, white
apron with red strings, blue stockings, q
yellow neck ribbon, and white cotton
gloves. Her reddish hair was fastened in
q plug behind, and we'll adorned with the
tail feathers of the defunct rooster before
mentioned.
When it was announced that Lemuel
Lord, the groom, was coming, Sally dived
behind coverlet, which hung across one
corner of the room to conceal sundry
pots and kettles, and refused to come
forth. Mr.. Lord lifted the corner Of the
curtain and peeped in, but quickly re-
treated with a stew pan and few words
from Sally, advising him to mind his own
business.
Lemuel was dressed in blue with bright
buttons. The entire suit had been made
for his grandfather on similar occasion.
His hair was we'll creased with talIow,
and his huge feet encased in skin pumps.
Very soon the company began to gath

But Sally refused to be trotted. She
would be married where she was, or not
at all. We urged and coaxed, but she
was firm, and it was finally concluded to
let her have her own way.
Mr.. Morrison stood the happy couple
Joined hands through rent in the cover
let, and the ceremony proceeded. Just
as Mr.. Morrison Was asking Lemuel,
aWill you have this woman" etc, down
came the coverlet, enveloping bridegroom
and pastor, and filing the house with
dust. Dick had been up in the loft and
cut the strings which held it. Mr.. Nor
rison crawled out, looking sheepish, and
Sally was obliged to be married openly.
