A Competent Witness.

civilian Loak, who made you?"
William, who was considered a
fool, screwed up his face, and look
ing thoughtful and somewhat be-
wildered, replied, "Moses, !
s'posc."
''That will do,' said counselor
Gray, addressing the court. "The
witness says he supposed Moses
made him; that is an intelligent
answer, more than I thought him
capable of giving, for it shows he
has some faint idea of scripture.
l submit that it is not sufficient to
entitle him to be sworn as a witness
capable of giving evidence.
sinister Judge" said the fool,
"may l ak the lawyer a question:
"Certainly," said the Judge.
"Well, then, Mister Lawyer, who
dye s'posc made you?"
"Aaron, I s'pose," said counselor
Gray, initiating the witness.
After the mirth had somewhat
subsidized, the witness drawled ont:
"Wall, meow, we do read in the
book that Aaron once made calf,
but who'd thought the darned
critter got in herew
The Judge ordered the man to
be sworn.

by a Christian standard should de
sire to obtain anything whatever
without paying for it fair equiva
lent of some kind.
2. If farms forced to sale under
their value were as thick as notes
in market, and men should make a
daily business of buying them at q
discount ruinous to the seller, the
evil Of buying real estate on such
principles would be as great as that
Of note shaving.
No bargain is fair which, all
things considered, is not, at the
time, honestly supposed to be as ben
eficial to one party as the other.
1t is said if such a principle were
carried into business it would very
greatly impede the conduct of af.
fairs; we reply that no man should
expect in the great battle of the
world between sel6shness and be-
nevolence, to win without severe
conflict. No man can be honest,
just, kind. and moderate in all his
desires, without taking a.p a cross.
Better that men should be larger
and fortunes smaller, than that for
tunes should grow while manhood
sinks.
Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1871-06-16

Society is rapidly changing here;
the young men adopt new ideas,
and the old regime will soon pass
away. The fine old Southern gen.
tleman, he who wore a black dress
coat in the morning, carried q gold
headed cane, and encased his small
feet in tight French boots with high
heels, whose mouth betrayed the
stain of tobacco, who winters in
New Orleans, spending money ad-
vanced by his consignee upon the
next crop, easy, careless good-na-
tured and generous-in short, the
high type Of the slaveholder-has
gone from our gaze like q beautiful
star, a lost Pleiad, never more to re-
turn to the scene Of his glory. The
faro banks of St. Charles street know
him no more. The claret that he
loved is set before carpet-bagging
Legislators and the revel ofthe lobby
corruptionist is heard in the homes
Of Washbowl street. Occasionally
a poor specimen may be seen in a
different form, another manner Of
dress, sad and subdued look, the
expression Of one "who hath had
losses" l lately met one whom l
remembered in palmy days at the
Hotel St. Louis. He was weary of
the world. We talked Of the good
old days, and l listened to the oft
repeated story of oppression and
robbery, and as we talked we un-
consciously drew near to contigu-
Gus bar. He took a brandy straight,
and for fear it might have been a
little weakened by age, he had some
absinthe in it. I marked his tremb-
ling hand and watcry eye, and knew
how it would be with him. Old
Mother Otard is a tender nurse to
grief; she will soothc it to the
grave.
