Beautiful .AlIegory.

Mr.: Crittenden, of Kentucky, was
at one time defending man who had
been indicted for capital offence.
After an elaborate and powerful de-
fense, he closed his effort with the
following striking and beautiful al
legofy:
=" When God in his eternal council
conceived.the thought Of man's5 5crsa:
zion, he called 70 him the three min
isters who constantly wait upon the
throne Justice, Truth, and Mercy

all the dark paths which he may have
to tread Then, God mademan, and
said to him, 20, man, thou art the
child of Mercy; go and deal with thy
brother.'%". 5. :.
The jury, when he had finished,
was drowned in tears, and against
evidence, and what must have been
their own convictions, brought ina
verdict Of not guilty.

DOVER, October 8, 1872.

My DEAR Boy The double-barrel
that you sent came safely to hand,
and / was only shot at once while |
was carrying it home. Bill Silvers
popped at me from behind the fence
as was passing his house, but l had
loaded the two-shooter as soon as L
got it, and he didn't Jump up from
behind that fence but once.
l am glad that one Of the barrels
is rife, as need it for lo4s range
practice. The other can fiil with
buckshot; and can ri idle a man nice
ly at close quarters. 1 meas ito. try
both barrels on those Jetts when l
meet them. You see, old man Jett
stole a mule from US in the war, and
when it was over pap laid for him
and killed him. Then Niger, Tom
Jett, as, we called. him-the: black
faced one-he laid for pap and plug
ged him. Then 1 picked 9 fuss with
Tom, and cut him into giblets, and
since that time his brother Sam has
been laying for me. 1 know it is his
turn, but 1 think my double barrel
will prove too much for him.
If you want to see fun come down
for a while (and bring a rifle. II
don't tmake any difference which sid>
you belong to, aad it isn't even nee
essary to Join the militia. 1t is easy
to get up grudge against somebody
and all you have to do ls to lay iol
your man and knock him over. Be
hind my pig pen is one of the sweet re- {
est hiding places I know OF, and 1t is
SO handy A good many people come
within range in the course OF a week
and man can pass his time right
pleasantly.
