Tyng.a-Ling. .Ling-Tho Second Triai Of
MIR. Pickwiclk.


The summing up in the case of Bardell
against Pickwick, otherwise Boggs and Stubbs
against Tying, has taken place, and the judges
have retired with pockets well stuffed with
canons and precedents to deliberate upon the
terms of their decision. st. Stephens was
crammed on the august occasion with the
exceedingly whipped cream of fashion and
the exceedingly whipped buttermilk of grave
judges, graver president and counsel, all sleek
with gravity and full diet The great Tying
was there and, anon, he shook his shaggy
ecclesiastical name and uttered his clerical
roar the little Tying was there, meek and
mild-mannered as lamb about to be
led to the slaughter. The array was
valiant one. On the one hand
sat the noble seignors, Drs. Boggs and Stubs,
frowning haughtily and with lowering eye
brows, as Jove sometimes gloared on the
lying Juno; on the other was tho martial array
of the firm of Tying and Son, defeated yet
triumphant. Little Tying had spoken without
the especial permission of Boggs and Stubs,
keepers OF the canons-had spoken in New
Jersey, where an opportunity is never let
slip to hang, and within the jurisdiction of
Boggs and Stubbs. Now, Boggs and Stubbs have
a monopoly of the Gospel in New Brunswick
whom they will they elect unto salvation, and
whom they will they elect unto something
else less pleasant-in short, whom they viii
they elect, and elect him just as suits the
whim of Boggs and Stubbs or, more par
ticularly, according to the amount of
his subscription. New Brunswick got on
swimmingly under the administration of Boggs
and Stubbs, or Stubbs and Boggs-for who was
senior partner has never been satisfactorily
settled-at least so declared under oath both
partners Of the illustrous firm. True, the Jer-
seymen sometimes found fault that they did
not get sufficient Gospel for their money and
it was once or twice whispered that Boggs and
Stubbs were evangelical in small doses though
both Mr.. Stubbs, d. D., and Mr.. Boggs, D. D.,
declare that if any fault was found, it was
found without reason, and it has been salts
iactorily proved on trial that the Jerseymen
would not even hear the gospel Of Boggs and
Stubbs when they could, and were exceedingly
unremuneratve when they did hear it. They
were always a stif-necked race, those New
Brunswickians, and have been known to take
great deal more delight in playing deputy
sheriff at an execution than in listening TO
either DR.. Boggs or Dr. Stubbs.
The Rev. S. H. Tying, junior of the illustrious
Tying senior, surnamed The Thunler had
heard of this distaste of the Jelseymen for the
monopoly OF Boggs and Stubs; and the Rev.
S. II. Tying, Junior Of the senior, had sort of
fancy for playing the apostle, and trampng
from city unto city, making himself martyr
that he might save some souls among the Jer-
seymcn at New Brunswick, which souls it was
the especial business Of the firm of Boggs and
Stubbs to save, if they were to be saved at all,
which was not, in the majority of cases, cx-
pected. Tying, therefore, with an especial view
to martyrdom-for some people like martyr
dom, though it is vastly ncomfortable-went
thither unto Jersey and spake unto the
people in o new tongue, not well understood
by either Boggs or Stubbs. He was placarded
and paragraphed in the county paper-so de-
poses the firm-as Fifth avenue clergyman,
though it is not proved that he proposed any
easier method of getting saved than that which
had been adopted by the illustrious clerical
firm in question, viz, to hear the Gospel and
pay literally for hearing-the latter being a
means OF grace especially in vogue on Fifth
avenue, whence emanated the junior Typg.
Drs. Boggs and Stubbs were oifendcd-not that
they particularly objected to the young apostle
saving soul il he could, but that they objected
TO bis being paragraphed as Fifth avenue
clergyman. Both Boggs and Siubbs were
older men, and neither Boggs nor Stubbs had
ever been 50 paragraphed. Besides, Mr.. Tying
had broken the canons--iirst, in assuming to
ape the apostle at ALL and, secondly in
assuming TO ape the apostle within their jurs-
diciion or cure.
This was the case as laid before the august
court by Boggs and Stubbs, the accusers. The
counsel for the young man demurred not on
| the ground that his client was an apostle and
The son OF an apostle as he should have done
and settled the matter-for 1t has been proved
that lattcr-day apostles arc not altogether re-
| sponsiole beings-but on the ground that
/ everybody was in the habit of breaking the
canons, and therefore the canons were obso-
lete-mere dead lions, which had no earthly
business to wake up and roar al an apostle.
however they might be pricked and goadod by
Boggs and Stubs. II the younger Tying had
violated the canons SO had the elder--hcre
tho elder Tying brstled-so had DR.. Mullen
berg, so had DR.. Garfield, so had DR.. Smith, so
had whole host Of double D.'s, whose names,
TO enumerate Woald be as long as Homer's cats-
loguc OF ships Il was admitted, 80 went On
the wiggcd counsel, that Mr.. Tying had not
the permission Of either Boggs or slubbs
or u the firm jointly considered. Now
il was necessary TO have The permission Of a
majority Of the firm, according TO canon but
in firm OF two there could be no majority.
