The origin of the saying, ''gone where the
woodbine twineth," is attributed to the slate
lamented" Fisk. In large cities, where there
are no green lawns, or gardens in the rear, q
green leaf or healthy twig is looked upon as
a refreshing oasis in the wilderness of stone
pavements and brick walls. So at the cor
ners of many tenements may be seen the
green-leafed woodbine twining itself around
the water-spout. and extending even to the
slated roof. Upon this ordinary sight the
ge-dimensioned brain OF the fnancier
seized, and instead of speaking of tn, collapse
of any enterprise or the sudden extlnguish-
ment of pet scheme, as having ''gone up
the spout" the more refined expression was
used, ''gone where the woodbine twineth."

LORD NoRBURYs PRETENDED MI9rAKE.-
Lord Norbury had frequently observed low
prisoners attorney touting in the dock for
business among the prisoners, and was de-
termined to punish him. So on one occasion
when the attorney was climbing over the
rails of the dock after comforting with the
prisoners, his lordship, pretending to mistake
him for prisoner, called out to the jailer:
"Jailer, put that man backbone of your
prisoners is escaping.
Whereupon the ,jaier thrust the lawyer
back into the dock; but having worked his
way to the front of the dock, he addressed
the judge, when the following conversation
took place between them:
"My lord, there is a mistake. | am an
attorney"
81 am very sorry, sir, indeed, to see a
gentleman of your respectable position in
the dock as prisoner"
"But, my lord, have not committed any
crime"
"Oh sir, have nothing to say to that
that must be decided by jury of your
countrymen."
"But, my lord, there is no charge, no in
dictment against me.
"Then, sir, you will be discharged by pub
lie proclamation at the end of the asszes,
ordering the ,jailer to put back the prisoner.
Whereupon the officer thrust back the limb
of the law, and kept him until the rising of
the court, when his lordship sent to the
jailer message to let him out.
