There dwelt some years ago in Bour-
bon county, Kentucky, a drunken,
worthless, one-eyed fellow named
c, whose chief occupations were
getting tipsy and fighting. There had
just been elected a new prosecuting at
torney, who was entitled to part of the
fines which might be imposed on the
malefactors of Bourbon, and he deter
mined to squelch old c. He did
not wait long for an opportunity to
have him arrested. B, the consta-
bic, said, as it was an important case, he
wanted about three days to get an ap'
propriate jury TO try it. On the third
day the new attorney was informed that
things were ready at the court house.
There was the judge, and behind him
the constable On one side sat old one.
eyed C; on the other, the twelve
jurymen, "Jess like him." on benches
forming triangle, each with plug OF
tobacco and jacgknife, the gift of the
constable, whiting away, and, accord
ing to order, splitting TO the centre. The
astonished prosecutor looked at the ju
ry, and exclaimed,
"Whcre did the constable get this
jury?"
The constable quietly replied, 81
thought the prisoner was entitled to be
tried by a jury of his peers, and I've
been out three days hunting 'em up.
pve got twelve here, but if you don't
like 'em, I've got twelve more waiting
outside"
The prosecutor looked out and saw,
seated on the fence, twelve more dittos,
similarly equipped and employed. He
turned to the Court in undisguised
wrath, and said,
"I'll dismiss this easel"
The constable wrote his return on the
warrant thus, "Dismissed by the county
attorney on sight Of the jury," and so il
stands recorded 10 this day. The pris.
oner was discharged, ard left the court
house rejoicing at having been deprived
of his constitutional right of being
tried by the previously mentioned citi
zens. -EDIToR's DRAWER, in Hdrper'S

A lady in town not thousand
miles away was considerable annoyed
by hens who picked the loose plaster
ing from the wall. So one morning
while washing dishes, she thought she
heard her fowls pecking as usual, and
dish cloth in hand, she FASTENED to the
door, and giving her rag warlike flour
ish, she uttered tremendous 'sho.oo!"
Imagine her dismay at beholding, not
the hens but stranger, who, after wip-
ing from his face the drops of dshwa-
ter with which he had been sprinkled
said in perfectly calm voice. "Well,
mum, ifyou've got any more spare rags
l should like to sell you some : .tin-ware

A prominent lawyer was hailed while
passing a jewelry store, by the prop'r,
with: General, come in here mo-
ment, we have something for you to
solve. Ifa man brings his watch to be
fixed, and it costs me ten cents to do IT,
and keep it a week, and charge him
six dollars what per cent. do l make ?
We have been figuring and make it
COO per cent, and have only got up to
one dollar. How much do you say it
would be at six dollars ?" "Well," re.
piled the General, 81 do not wonder at
your perplexity, for it is well known,
and the celebrated Babbage calculating
machine has demonstrated, that at GER
tain points in progressive numbers the
law governing them changes. In this
case the law would change, and long be-
fore it would reach the six dollars il
would run out of per cent. and into
what is known as larceny"

TRG, PA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1872.

More passengers got in; more yet,
and still more. Both seats were filled,
and q file of men were standing up,
holding on to the cleats overhead.
Parties with baskets and bundles were
climbing up on the roof Halfsuppress-

"Well, for clean, cool, out-and.out

A NEw.wAY OF GETTING A WIFE.
"A German doctor in New York, who
is now having more patients than he
can attend to, obtained his wife, few
years ago, in curious way. A mechanic
called upon him to obtain treatment for
his wife, feeble lady, who accompan-
led him. Her case was pronounced
consumption. The NAV, in dismay,
inquired if she could be cured. 81 can
cure her." said the doctor, "but not for
you. l want her myself. l will give
you $1,000 for her, if you will leave her
to be my wife" The dumbfounded
husband hesitated. 1t was death to his
wife on the one hand, and life to her and
loss to him on the other. Then he said
"But l have two children" Every
WE'LL" replied the doctor, 81 will take
them too" The lady consented, the
necessary arrangements were made,a and
she has since been the happy wife of a
devoted but eccentric husband,

MISS II. n. HUDSON.

Men say She is prlestess, stern and fair,
Perfect in beauty, and ensphered with calm;
Her rapt eyes lifted heavenwird, unaware
ofdiscord in Creations happy psalm.
know her as kindly, ancient dame,
Benign and garrulous through all the year;
Full of content, amid all change the same
Gladdening the seasons with her great good
cheer.
40 goddess, lofty in fidelity,
But busy, happy, friendly with all men.
Wise and loquaclous, innocently free,
Telling of what shall be and what has been.
Che has unnumbered secrets in her care;
She screens her mysteries with sound and sight;
Yet half reveals their meaning every where.
And hints it in the sunset every night.
She is tender mother in the spring:
She pets each little leaf and blade of grass;
She teaches brooks and rivers how to sing,
And loads the winds with blessings as they pass.
And not less tender when the weary year
Lies down and dies amid the withered leaves .
She hath no more the treasures held SO dear
Yet keeps her quiet patience, while she grievos.
Daily, in trustful. KIM simplicity,
She shows to men her beauty's excellence,
willing that every human soul should see
Upon her happy face Gods evidence.
Alike to poor and rich, to dull and WISE
She gives her flowers her sunshine, and her
breeze;
In every nook she hides some fair surprise,
Ahe leave no spot unloved on lands or seas.
would that we all, like her in rare goodwill,
Made room for all things in our sympathy;
Content t, labor patiently until
GODS message, through our lives, is full and
free.

mistake in life.

tie boy on the Vermont farm, my faith
er took me up to the stable one day,
where row of cows stood in the sta
ble."
Said he, "James, the stable window
is pretty high for a boy, but do you
think you could take this shovel and
clean out the stable ?"
81 don't know, Pop" said James, 81

"Well, my boy, if you will do it this
morning, III give you this bright silver
dollar" said his father, patting him on
his head, while he held the silver dollar
before his eyes,
"Good," said James, "pll try"-and
away he went TO work. lie tugged and
pulled and lifted and putied, and final
ly it was done, and his father gave him
the bright silver dollar, saying
"That's right, james; you did it
splendidly, and now find you can do
1t so nicely, shall have you to do it
every morning all ,ointer."

Speaking of temperance reformers,
some one tells good story at the ex-
pense of one of the most ardent of the m
a person whose whole heart was in the
work to such an extent that he haden't
time to mend his fences or take care of
his farm. A distinguished temperance
lecturer was to address the citizens in
the town where the farmer lived, and
the latter took it upon himself to meet
him at the station, and take him home
with him to ente rtain him. The lee
turer was talkative and full of "the
cause" "There, now" said he, as they
drove by handsome farm house, "any-
body can see at once that Temperance
man lives there. Every thing indicates
it there's thrift and industry and con,
tentment and no doubt happy home
there. Isn't it so?"
"Yes," was tie reply, esquire -
is a temperance man, and has very
pleasant home and family
81 was certain of it," said the lectur
er. "But here is place." he continu ed
as they came to an old house with dilap.
idated fence and a neglected appearance
"that you'd pick out anywhere as the
house of a drunkard. See the old hats
in the windows and the broken dowr
fence, and the neglected appearance
everything has-you can't make any
mistake about such a place-it sticks
out all over it that it's the home of {
sot." lie was about to appeal to hi
entertainer for the truth Of his surmise
when that gentleman pulled rein, anC
turning the team up TO the neglected
fence, remarked with something like {
sigh, II live here"
And what could the lecturer say? HI
might have said, "Well, all signs fail il
a dry time" but he didn't.

A poor Turkish slater, OF Constanti-
nople, being at work upon the roof of a
house, lost his footing and fell into the
narrow street upon man who CHANGED
to be passing at the time. The pedes-
trian was killed by the conclusion, while
the slater escaped without material in
jury.
A son Of the deceased caused the slater
to be arrested and brought before the
Cadi, where he made the most grave
charge, and claimed ample redress.
The Cadi listened attentively, and in
the end asked the slater what he had to
say in his defence.
dispenser OF Justice answered the
accused, in humble mood, sit is even as
this man says but God forbid that there
should be evil in my heart. l am apoor
man, and know not how 1 can make
amends"
The son Of the man who had been
killed thereupon demanded that con-
dgn punishment should be inflicted up
on the accused.
The Cadi meditated few moments,
and finally said:
at shall be so.'
Then to the slater he contiuued,-
"Thou shalt stand in the street where
the father Of this man stood when thou
did'st fall upon him."
And to the accuser he added
nj Oh

prit, even as he did fall upon thy father.

HUNG HIMSELF UP TO DRY.-A
farm laborer attempting to drown him
self, an Irish reaper who saw him 60
into the water leaped after him and
brought him safe to shore.
The fellow attempting it second time,
the reaper second time got him out;
but the laborer, determined to destroy
himself, watched an opportunity, and
hanged himself behind the barn-door.
The Irishman observed him, but
never offered to cut him down.
When, several hours afterwards, the
master of the farnyard asked him upon
what ground he had suffered the poor
fellow to hang himself:
"Faith," replied Patrick, Il don't

In certain small town on the Mis-
sissippi lived a man who made horse
trading business. He bought up horses
for city market, and was considered
pretty good on trade
One day, a long, lean, queer, green
looking specimen of the Western coun-
try arrived at the dock with boat load
of horses. He enquired for the horse
jockey.
Daddy sent me down with some
horses" he said in a half idiotic tone.
"Who is he?
Daddy"
"What do you want for your horses?'
"Daddy said you could set your price,
was The response.
"Let me 60 down and look at your
horses" said Brown, and accordingly
they were soon at the boat.
Brown examined the horses, and nam
ed the price he would give for this one
and for that, and the country pumpkin
made no objection, although some ofthe
offers were not more than one-half the
worth of the animal. One of the by
ISLANDERS said to the couutryman that
he was being cheated, but he returned ::
Daddy said Brown would set the
price," and so Brown had it all his own
way.
At last they came to another animal,
which did not look so much superior to
the rest.
81 must have more for this ANIMAL"
said the fellow. Daddy says he can
run some."
"Run! !" said Brown, "the nag can't
run worth a cent.
Daddy said so and daddy knows"
"Why, I've got one up in the stable
that would beat him all hollow"
"Guess not" said the fellow, "lets
try EN-; I'll bet the whole boat load of
horses on 'em." Brown smiled.
"I'll llstake five thousand dollars against
your boat load" said Brown, winking
to the crowd; "and these men," select
ing two, ''shall hold the stakes"
Browns five thousand dollars We're in.

board the horse boat.
One of the crowd started to remon.
strate with the idiotic fellow, but he on.
ly responded:
"Golly! dad told me he could run
some, and daddy ought to lose if he was
such tarnal fool to tell me that when
he couldn't"
Browns sleek racer was brought down
and Brown mounted him. The coun
tryman led out his animal and Chamber
ed on his back, looking as uncOuth and
awkward as the horse he proposed tC
ride.
The word was given and they started
amidst the laughter of the crowd. AT
first Brown was at the head and it look
ed as if the poor fellow was going to be
badly beaten, when suddenly the horse
plunged forward and the Jockey was lef
far behind. Such going had not been
seen in those parts for long time, anC
poor Brown was crest fallen AS the
cheers of the bystanders fell on his ears
"I'll take the sponduliX,' said th'
countryman, riding up. dad wa
right, the anermal can get round lit
tle.n
Brown tried to say it was all joke
but the fellow would have his money
81 guess l won't trade today hi
said, as he put up his old rough leathe
pocket book, "I'll go back to daddy
In vain Brown tried to induce him t
trade, but he pushed off his boat, resC
lutely, saying:
"Id better 60 back and tell daddy.
Brown was completely sold, for h
knew at once that the green countryma
was little shrewder than people imag
ined him and just come there purposel
to win his money from him.
} Next time he did not ridicule hors
that daddy" said could "run some.

4 Little too Smart

A Detroit thief went to the door of a
house, rang the bell and asked the
servant to call her mistress, as he had
particular business with her. The lady
came, when the stranger informed her
that Mr., naming the name on
the doorplate, had sent him to the
house to get twenty dollars which was
due him. But for one thing he might
have got the money. The lady's hus.
band had been dead seven years.

A clergyman once preached a very
long sermon from the text:
Thou art weighed in the balance and
found wanting
After the congregation had listened
about an hour, some began to grow
weary and went out, others soon fol-
lowed, greatly to the annoyance of the
minister. Whereupon he stopped in
his sermon and said:
That is right, gentleman, as fast as
you are weighed pass OUT
No one else passed out.

AT Poltsk, in Russia, last November,
a rich proprietor, while returning home
with 5000 roubles, just borrowed from
a neighbor, was assaulted by masked
man, who demanded the money or his
life, and secured the former. The next
morning the proprietor entered the
room where his son was sleeping, and
was appalled, TO find a loaded revolver
and 5000 roubles under his pillow. In
transport of shame and rage the father
seized the revolver and killed the unfilial
thief.

AN APPROPRIATE REPLY.-A cer-

for his long sermons with many divis-

among the teens, and had thoroughly
weried his hearers, reacned, at lenghth,
kind of resting place in his discourse,
when, pausing to take breath, and
looking about over his audience, he
asked the question, Sand what shall l
say more?" A voice from the congre,

earnestly responded, "Say amen"
