Got His Answer.

1t is bad enough to see the evil and
depraved crowded into the docks Of
criminal courts, waiting To- eXpiate
their offences. No one can view with
ce such exhibitions of fallen
crimes may be, however degraded
they may have become. 1t is not sur
prising therefore that these emotions
awaken pity when fresh young faces
peer out of the prison cells, and voices
with n tone of music in them echo the
ribald jest and song. Yesterday such
a spectacle was presented at Recorder
Becker's court. Seated among per-
sons whose eeountenanees disclosed ev-
cry shade of evil distorted by passions,
bruised and battersl, were three
young girls. They were far too young
Tor such n place, and looked around
upon the, to them, unusual spectacle,
with eyes that could i'll conceal their
surprise. The court evidently felt
his heart warm i'm kindness toward
them.
He felt that it was fit occasion to
administer that advice for which he is
so noted, and inquired with a sympa-

"Oh it's very funny, sirl" said the

'Did you ever see any thing like it
before?"
ooh yes. I've seen the happy fami-

monkey sits up, and overlOOks the
rest ~ replied the artless creature.

Not the Law.

A good story is told of Judge NJ
presiding in one of the Supreme Court
districts i'm Western New York:
An action was brought in his court
for one thousand dollars for damages
for assault and battery. The facts
were that the defendant, while walk
ing i'm the street with his wife on his
arm, was rudely Accessibility the plain
tiff, whom he had in some way of
Tended, and was called, in loud and
insulting terms, an opprobrious epi-
thet. On being thus addressed, the
defendant left his wife and lEOcked
down the plaintiff, who thereupOn
brought this action. The judge SYM
pathized very strongly with the de
fendant, but, as the case was closely
tried by the plaintiffs attOrney,She
knew that if there was a peg given
the latter whereupOn To hang an eX-
ceptiOn to his charge, the clever law
yer would get a new trial. So, when
the violence to the law had been duly
expatiated upon, in the summing up
the Judge arose and charged the jury
as follows:
Gentlemen Ofthe jury, if the plain
tiff had met Inc walking along the
street with my wife on my arm, and
had called me what it is not denied
that he called the defendant, / should
have knocked him down, just as the
defendant did. But, gentlemen Of the
jury, that is not the law. You may
take the ease, gentlemen"
The jury gave the plaintiff six cents
damages without leaving their seats.

MY MOTHERS GRAVE.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE
The trembling dew-drop, fall

The trembling dew-drops fall
Upon the shutting flowers; like soutsof rest
The stars shine gioriou>ly; and ali
Save me are ble>t.
Mother love tiny gravel
The violet, with blossoms blue and mild,
Waves o'er thy head; when shall it wave
Above thy child,
lis a sweet flower, yet must
Its bright leaves to coming tempest bow;
Dear mother, it's thine emblem; dust
Is ON thy brow.
And could love to die;
To leave untasied life's daIk bitterEtreams; (;
By thee, as first in childhood, lie,
And share thy dreams
And must linger here,
To stain the plumage Of my sinless years,
And mourn the hopes to childhood dear
With bitter tears:
Ay, must linger here,
a lonely branch upon a withered tree,
Whose last frail Leaf, untimely sere,
Went down with thee:
OFT. from life's withered bower,
In still communion with the past, turn,
And muse on thee, the only flower
In 9Iemory's Urn.
And, when theevening pale,
Bows, like announcer, on the dim, blue wave,
stray to hear the night-winds wall
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit flown?
l gaze aboYe-thy look is imaged there;
listen-and thy gentle tone
Is on the air.
Oh, come, while here press
Ny brow upon thy grave; and, in those mild
And thrilling notes Of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child.
Yes, bless thy weeping child;
And Ger thine rn-Religion's hOliest shrine,
Oh, give his spirit, underfiled,
To blend with thine.

A Man Sells His Wife-The Sheriff In
terfereS with the Purchaser.

We learn from the Forest City In
dependent that, on the 23d ult., Dep
uty SheriffWOlf of Holt county arrest
ed and locked up man named Wake,
who was indicted on the charge of
adultery at thelast sitting of the grand
Jury in that county. 1t appears that
an old man married young girl for
his second wife. Old man and young
wife didn't live in perfect bliss. Their
ways were not always smooth. Old
man was in partnership with young
Wake in the peaceful pursuits of
farming. The young man being pos
sessed of enterprise, and Of a disposi-
ton for trading, proposed to buy the
whole outfit. A bargain was struck,
and an inventory of the property was
taken. Among numerous other arti-
cles the old mans wife was invOiced
to the enterprising purchaser for five
dollars. Everything seemed satisfae-
tory, until the grand jury interfered
with the matter, and the officer of the
law lodged the young farmer in Jail, to
await his trial at the next sitting of
the court. We Opine that some Curl
Gus things will come to light on that
trial. Perhaps the young man was
swindled by an older head, and paid
too much for his purchase. We hear
the property wife has been arrested
and sent up for trial also. Old man
has got his money and laughs. .-N.

Senator Wilson introduced bill to
punish prize fighting. The New
York Sunday Mercury actually de-
tends the brutal business, and in an
article denouncing the bill indulges in
the following: .a
srPrize-fighting has been a favorite
snort with large class in this country
for some years. To many muscular
Christians, il is a sort of escape-valve
for natural eXuberance of spirits, and
is as necessary to their welfare rs the
steanl-pipe is to a locomotive. If
these men are prevented by laws from
arranging and having their contests
in the rOped arena, they will crafty
their passions on the public at large.
These fights are To them the recrea-
ton necessary to existence. 1t Is an
established fact that man skilled in
the noble art of self-defense scorns to
attack the weak and defenseless; and
he is too confident of his muscular
power to resort TO the pistol. Unlike
the Puritanical quOndam shoemaker,
they believe i'm living and let live,
and don't seek to prevent other peO-
ple enjoying themselves i'm their own
way. At all events, they do not in
terfere with the Massachusetts cold
vater-drinker at his temperance pow
vows. We call upon the great ex-
champion of America, the Hon. John
Morrissey, to squelch this bill in the
House. We have no doubt III fair
