AN APOLOGY.

When John Clark Nord Eldon) was at
the bar he was remarkable for the sang
.tToid with which he treated the Judges.
On one occasion, junior counsel, on hear
ing their Lordships give judgment against
his client, exclaimed that che has surprised
at such decision!" This was construed
into contempt of Court, and he was ordered
to attend at the bar next morning. Fear
full of the consequences, he consulted his
friend John Clark, who told him to be per-
fectly at ease, for he would apologize for
him in way that would avert any unpleas-
ant result. Accordingly, when the name
of the delinquent was called, John arose
and eoony addressed the assembled tribu-
nal: ssI am very sorry, my Lords, that
my young friend has so far forgot himself
as to treat your honorable bench with dis
respect; he is extremely penitent, and you
will kindly ascribe his unintentional insult
to his ignorance. You must see at once
that it did originate in that. He said he
was surprised at the decision of your Lord
ships! Now if he had not been very igno-
rant of what takes place in this Court every
day-had he known you but half so long as
have done, he would not be surprised at
any thing you did p

NOTES TO BE REMEMBERED.-Constant
occupation prevents temptation.
God gives every bird its food, but does
not throw it into the ne t.
An able man shows his spirit by gentle
words and resolute actions. He is neither
hot nor humid.
A man is never so apt to be crooked as
when he is in strait.
Our real wants are few.
The stomach tires of everything but bread
and water.
There is one good wife in the country
but every married man thinks he hath her.
A woman's tears soften mans heart
but fattery his head.

A GOOD CUSTOMER.

A few days since, a dignifed person, witt
the bearing and general appearance Of
country merchant, stepped into wholesale
store in the city of Norwich, Connecticut
and in bland tone and insinuating man
ner, inquired of the proprietor if he solo
gin by the barrel-at what price, and if il
was good article. He ''would like to see
sample
Proprietor drew large sized tumblel
nearly full. Country merchant tasted.
"Ah!" said he, as be smacked his lips
with Just suspicion Of light, ''that's good
gin. What can you let me have barrel OF
that for? 2"
Proprietor named the price.
"Remarkable good gin, )" said he, taking
another sip. "That reminds me of some
gin I bought in 1861" and he went on with
long story about that particular gin, stop
ping occasionally to try the sample, until
it was all gone but swallow. The story
finished, he tossed off the balance of it, and
remarked that he liked the gin, and would
come in and leave his order after making a
few purchases elsewhere, and left the store.
An hour afterwards, mhi44e the proprietor
was waiting upon some customers, the GIN
buyer returned, and this time tackled one
of the clerks with:
81 have got to buy some gin to-day and
if you have 6rst-rate article l should like
to see sample ofit.'
Another large sized tumbler full was
forthcoming, and the old fellow tasted of it.
Then he smacked his lips, inquired the
price, and took another sip. Then he re-
marked that it was very cold weather and
took good swallow. Then he commenced
on the gin, and INDUCED in a few reflections
upon how much more gin cost now than it
did in 1888. He kept on talking and he
kept on drinking, and the clerk kept on
waiting to consummate the trade. He was
such dignifed man, and was so evidently
a good judge of, as we'll as large dealer
in gin, that the clerk was not disposed to
hurry him. But as he was about taking
down the last swallow, the proprietor came
round. The suspicion dawned on him that
the country merchant was better drinker
than buyer. Stepping up to him, he thun-
dered out:
"Look here, sir, do you want to buy any
gin?''
The old fellows dignity melted in an in
slant. Putting his-hand in his overcoat he
drew out pint bottle, and in the meekest
and mildest voice imaginable replied:
eyes, half pint in this bottle"

AN ECONOMICAL BRIDEGROoM.-A col
ored citizen of Indianapolis appeared at the
Office of the county clerk and asked for a
marriage license, at the same time inquiring
the price of the document and the addition
al charge for tying the nuptial knot. He
was informed that the entire bill would be
81 40, at which he demurred, saying that he
had promised the 'swoman" to 20 81 on it,
but she'd have to pay the other 40 cents.
He left without the license, to see if his in
tended bride would s'go" the change. That
is reducing the wedding business down to a
moderately fine point.

SIMPLE EXPERIMENT INELECTRICITY. IN

Get clean glass bottle with rather
large mouth, and hold it over the lamp or
stove to dry it; place it on the table, and
put common tin plate on top of it; now
get a piece of brown paper Ike what is used
in grocery stores; dry it perfectly, take it
up by the opposite corners, and rup iton
the cat back. If Miss Puss has any OBJ
jections, they may be overcome by placing
her between your knees, and rubbing the
paper to and fro across her back; if you
have no cat, your own hair will do, if 1t is
not damp or greasy. After rubbing the
paper five or six times, drop it on the plate
on the bottle. Now, if you put your knuc-
kle to the plate, a bright blue spark will be
seen to fly to it, making noise like the
breaking of small piece of wood. Take
the paper up without touching the plate,
and again put your knuckle to it; another
spark, similar to the last, will be seen. If
you are afraid to take the shock, you may
do as the monkey did that wanted the chest
nuts-put pussy paw to the plate; as soon
as she feels the shock, she will express her
displeasure at such proceedings by splitting
and kicking at the apparatus. This expe-
riment may be varied by putting little pa
per men and such like objects on the plate,
and holding your hand on another tin plate
over them; when the hand or plate is held
near enough, they will hop up and down
quite lively. The only trouble in perform
ing these experiments is to keep the appa-
ratus dry.

SINGULAR DETECTION OF A. CRIME.

Late Austrian papers relate the story OF
a wealthy tanner named Kruntz, residing
in the neighborhood of SIM, who was in
the habit of making journeys, several times
a year to sell his goods and enter into con-
tracts for supplies of different kinds. These
rounds generally occupied about ten days
or fortnight. On the morning of the 18th
of December last he started as usual, but
in the same night his wife and son were
surprised at hearing his cabriolet come up
to the door, and her surprise was changed
into horror on finding in the vehicle the
lifeless body of the tanner, weltering in his
blood. The horse, finding itself at liberty,
had returned home. The authorities made
inquiries, but without leading to the discov-
cry of the murderer. Thetanner had with
him large and powerful dog, but as the
animal was fastened under the cabriolet, he
could not render any assistance to his mas
ter.
After the death of the tanner, his son, a
young man of about 25 years of age, took
on himself the management of the business,
and like his father, made the usual journeys.
About fortnight ago, in passing near q
roadside public house, at the door of which
the landlord was sitting smoking his pipe,
the same dog who had always accompanied
the father, and who was running along qui-
city by the side of the vehicle, began to bark
in the most furious manner, and rushed to-
wards the house. The man seeing his ap-
proach, ran in and closed the door, while
the dog kept bowling and barking most
violently. A suspicion Immediately enter
ed the mind of the young man, but instead
of showing what he felt by any movement
which mig have been observed by the in
mates of the house, he fastened the dog be-
meath the cabriolet; and drawing on to the
nearest town, gave information to the au:
thorities. Some police officers were imme-
diately sent to the house, and in it were
found the empty money bag Of the tanner,
his watch and his pocket book The land
lord and his wife were Immediately arrested,
and will be tried for the crime.

COULDN'T HELP Ir.-In certain town
on the Penobscot river, lived two worthy
men-neighbors and friends but they could
never agree on political questions. In dis
pute one day one of the disputants lost
temper and called the other ''liar, s'fool, -
'knave," and so on. This was his weak
ness. He easily lost self-control; then was
very abusive; and then repented. On the
occasion referred to, he was so chagrined
at the exhibition he had made in passion,
that he soon called upon his neighbor, peni.
tent, purposing an apology. We give, in
substance, the apology:
81 am ashamed of myself for being so a.
busive in my talk to you. To think I should
call neighbor and friend .liar,' fool and
'knave.' 1 am sorry; and have come to
apologize. Forgive me. 1 know not why
it is, that in my talk with you I lose my
temper. But the fact is, you always talk
so much like a-jackass, can't help it !"
