A Cross Examination.

nNE of the most prominent orna-
~ ments of the bar, celebrated for his
genial disposition, found himself about the
close of the war washed ashore high and
dry pecuniarily, in the city of Richmond,
where he was forced to hang out his shin
gle in the Husting Courts. One of his
first clients was youth, who was arrested
at the instance of respectable negro
man Of family, for having Crooked" his
house and severely injured his daughter
with stone thrown through window.
At the examination, old Pompey was put
upon the stand, and proved the charge
in such undenable terms that it would
have gone hard with our friends client
had it not been for the cross examination:
Lawyer" You say one stone came in
to the room where you were sitting with
your family, and struck your daughter ?"
Pomp-" Yes boss"
Lawyer" Where did it strike her ?"
Pomp-(Silence for whie) 81 don't
like to tell, boss"
Lawyer" But you must tell, 1 de-
mand again, where did it hit her ?"
Fomp-" Dat all toollshness, boss; L
tell you it hit her. don't like to tell
where fore desc ladies in court"
Lawyer" But you must answer
Where did it hit her?
Pomp-(Slowly.) "On the buzzum,
boss"
Lawyer" Well, how severely did it
inj ire her 2"
Pomp-" Oh, quit this foolishness
amt gwine to tell"
Lawyer" Again l must insist upon
my question being answered Did it in
jure her 2"
Pomp-(In despair.) No sab! it
did not injure her, but it hit the mans
hand that was payin' 'tention to her."
The case was dismissed Immediately for
want of jurisdiction.

Girls, Opinion of Newspapers.

Margary Dean, in one of her spicy let
ters from Newport, gives the following
piquant discussion between some young
ladies concerning the merits of certain
newspapers. Gaa H aJ
Sitting on the hotel piazza the other
morning, watching group of young Ia
dies, overheard curly headed little
maiden who was frizzled and panniered
and pulled in the height Of style, exclaim,
Oh, | like the Independent bestw A
moment before | could have sworn that
Ia Petite, never looked at newspaper,
and somewhat surprised, | took the lber-
ty of listening further. The Tribune
suits me, !" said her blackeyed companion
Z" / like the Eceniag Post chimed in
stylish saucy looking girl, who was petit
ing somebody over the railing with pond
lilies-a beautiful bunch, by the way,
which five minutes before had seen
gentleman carefully selecting for her from
little urchin's basket. And when, /
wonder, do you girls get time to read the
newspapers Z" Fold them four double,
of course" was the next sentence L
caught, and more puzzled than before, /
very impolitely walked near the group,
when everything was made clear to me
bythe blonde little one saying. II had
rather have newspaper any day than the
best paunier that was ever made in Paris"
| fell back in my seat uncertain whether
to laugh or to feel provoked with the
chatterboxes, who had strolled off to lay
siege to party of gentlemen just from
the beach,

A Beautiful Thought.

God knows what keys in the human
soul to touch in order to draw out its
sweeter and most perfect harmonies.-
They may be the minor strains of sadness
and sorrow they may be the lofiier notes
of joy and gladness God knows where the
melodies of our nature are, and what dis,
cipline will bring them forth. Some
with plaintive tongues must walk in low
ly wales of'life's weary way; others in
loftier hymns sing Of nothing but JOY as
they tread the mountain tops of life /;
but they all unite without discord or jar
as the ascending anthem Of loving and
believing hearts finds its way into the
chorus of the redeemed in heaven.

ENHE following is said to be the last
IL thing written by Artomus Ward:
Only few weeks ago was on exhi-
bition in East Sheeboygair, in bidin
which was formerly ockepid by a pug
ylist-one of the fellers what hits from
the shoulder, and teaches the manly art
of self-deience. And he cum and sed he
was goin' in free in conscience of previ'-
sly ockepying sed bldin with large
yellor dog. He sed Oh, yes;' sed,
Oh, no He sed, Do you want to be
ground to powdcr? sed, Yes, ifthere's
a gunpowder grindist-,' when he struck
me disgustin blow in my left eye, which
caused that concern at once to close for
repairs; but he didn't hurt me any more.
| went for him energetically. His parents
lived near by and l will simply state that
fifteen minutes after / had gone for him,
his mother seein' the PROSTATE form of
her son approachin' the house onto
shutter, carried by four men, run out
doors, keerfully looked him over, and sed
My son, you have been foolin' round
thrashin' misheen. You went in at
the end where they put the grain in, and
come out with the straw, then got up in
the thingumagig and let the horses trod
on you, didn't you, my son ?" You can
imagine by this what disagreeable person
am when I'm angry" 7ia. i.'

Marrying Tiplers.

A word Of warning to young ladies on
this subject it not inappropriate. How
many young women, by uniting their des-
TIMES with tiplers, or men of confirmed
inebrate habits, have involved themselves
in lives of sorrow and often shame
" Yet in spite of all the wretchedness OF
drunkards' wives," says Mr.. Cuyler,
"young woman are continually willing to
marry men who are in the habit of iudul-
ging in the social glass Ladies often re-
fuse the marriage offers Of young men
because they are too poor, or too humble
a family, or too plain in person or man
ners But only now and then one has
good sense enough to refuse to unite her
self with man who will not pledge
himself to total abstinence A rich and
fashionable young man has commonly no
trouble to get wife, even though he is
hardly sober long enough to pronounce
the marriage vow. But teetotaler in
course raiment might be snubbed as
vulgar fellow who has never seen society.
Ladies, before you begin to scold at me
for this impious thing, just look around
and see if it is not true"
Ladies, this is an Important subject,
and you should consider it well. 1t in
wolves your happiness and responsibility
in this world, and perhaps your salvation
in the next. You should reject the hand
of any man who INDUCES in the intoxica-
ting cup. What is riches, station, or
anything worth, without sobriety, virtue.
and character Beware.

The Miser's Lesson.

A MISER, living in Kufa, had heard
IN. that in Bassora, also, there lived q
miSer more miserly than himself, to whom
he might go to school, and from whom
he might learn much. He forthwith
journeyed thither, and presented himself
TO the great miser as an humble commen-
Ger in avarice, anxious to learn, and un-
der him to become a student.
"Welcome p said the miser of Bas-
sora. Wen straight to the market to
make some purchases. T." ~ ''.i
They went to the baker: fHf
Hast thou good bread 7"
"Good, indeed, my masters, and soft
as butter" If,l
Mark this, friend" said the man Of
Bassora to the one of Kufa 'butter is
compared with bread as being the better
of the two. AS we can only consume n
small quantity of that, it will also be
cheaper, and we shall therefore act more
wisely and savingly, too, in being salts,
fed with butter"
They then went to the butter mer-
chant, and asked il he had good butter
Good indeed, and Aavory, and fresh
as the finest olive OIL" was the answer
Mark this, also" said the host to his
guest " Oil is compared with the best
butter, and, therefore, by much ought to
be preferred to the latter"
They next went to the oil.vender.
- Hast thou good oil2' De-
"The very best quality; white and
transparent as WATER" was the reply.
Mark that, too, said the miser Of
Bassora, to the one of Kufa By this
rule, the water is the very best. Now at
home have paiful, and most hospit-
ably therewith will | entertain you"
And, indeed, on their return nothing
but water did he place before his guest
because they had learned that water wa
better than oil, oil better than butter, and
butter better than bread.
"God be praisedw sad the miser Of
Kua, II have not journeyed this long
distance in vain" ~
