There is some hope for that young
lady who was sent for by the Court to
appear as a witness in a case pending
at our last term. A writ was handed
to a young and dashing officer of the
the law to serve upon her immediate
ly. He proceeded OH horseback to
her residence, and informed her that
he had an attachment for her. She
replied that she was very glad OF it,
and she could assure him it was fully
reciprOcated. He desired her to get
ready and they would proceed to
Court Immediately She didn't like
to court in the daytime, she said, but
if he would come back in the evening
she would be ready. The young Off
Ger was somewhat taken abaek at this
rejOinder, but not being used to such
repartee, he did not comprehend the
depth of her meaning. He finally
told her it would be necessary for her
to go with him Immediately, as the
Judge was waiting for her. She
thought it was q short notice, but on
the whole it would be well enough, for
she did not believe in long eOurtships.
This last rejOinder opened the young
officers eyes, and he explained to her
that it was a writ Of attachment he
had from ihe Judge OF the Court 10 ap-
pear as a witness in the case Of -
as. -. This story il just as we
heard it, and we do not hesitate to
say that tn young lady in question
will make Ler mark Ia the world as
sure as fate, and any young man who
could stand such frankness has n sure
thing on single blessedness.

ChrlstIanIIy In Japan.

Japan is more and more surprising
the world. Since the days of the RO-
man Emperor Constantine no such
revolution has taken place like that
which is now in progress in Japan.
1t is only few years since Japan was
practically closed to the rest of the
world. But how in these few years
she has leaped forward! Railroads,
canals, steamboats,, telegraphs, with q
radical change in tine form of govern
ment, indicate the Japan of to-day,
Our latest news is to the effect that
Christianity, by an imperial edict, has
been promulgated throughout the
Empire. The ancient and absurd re-
strictiOns which excluded foreigners
from the country have been abolished
and Japan is now opened to the en-
terprise of the world. We have spe-
ciaI reason to be proud of Japan. She
is the hopeful and promising pupil oil
the young Republic of the West. In
the future Of Asia it is quite manifest
that Japan is to be = great Power
Russia is doing her best in the North
Great Britain is doing much in the
South; but Japan, yielding to the in
fiuences Of modern civilization, yet
retaining her autonomy, gives fail
promise Of setting q grand example to
the other nations Of Asia Nations, u
says the Holy Scripture, "shall be
born in a day" Japan, like Rome Of
old, keeps alive the hope that "thC
kingdoms Of this world will yet be-
come the kingdoms Of our God"

Weighing the Evidence.
Ftom lie NclD Orleans Picdy

From tie Ncw Orleans P;cdylHle.
A short time since a worthy Mag
istrate of this city had rather difficult
question to decide in the solution OF
which he struck out path hitherto
unknown in Jurisprudence. II seems
that twelve negroes appeared before
him. each one of whom swore posi-
lively that himself and the other elev-
en- had done a certain amount OF
work on a steamboat, and was enti-
fled thereby to wages. 1t was a
steady streak, each one Of the dozen
swearing the same. On the other
side appeared the mate of the boat
and eleven deck hands, who all
twelve. swOre directly and point
blank to an opposite state Of facts to
those testified to by the twelve plain
fifs. Here the evidence closed leav-
ing the Judge to make up his mind.
His Honor scratched his head, look
ed wise, pOndered a few moments,
and then said: "The law makes it the
duty of the Court, when in doubt, to
weigh the evidence. l shall proceed
to DO so in this case. YOu," turning
to one of the suing darkies, "take
your crowd over to Mr.. - IA grOce-
nv store in the vicinity, and have
them weighed, and bring me a GER
tifcate of their weight from the
clerk. And you" turning to the
mate, "do the same with yourself
and witnesses. This Court must
make up a judgment somehow"
The mandate of the Court was
obeyed; the contestants appeared
with their respective certificates, the
mates party outweighing the other
by nine pounds, which was sufficient
TO turn the scales of justice, for judg-
ment was given for the boat.

4 CHAMPION Wiser.

Human nature is truly a strange
compound and there is perhaps moth
/ ing which illustrates human frailty
more vividly than the use Of money
Some there are who seem to nut No
value on the dollar, while to Others il
is Almighty" The motive which
prompts s human being, apDarer tIy
rational, and possessing the ability t,
surround himself with every comfort
to deny himself the plainest necessi.
ties of life, and dwell in want anj
/ squalOr, is hard to be understood
And yet such there are.
| Buffalo just now lays claim 10 the
champion miser. An account is Civ
en- of man who is worth at least two
hundred thousand dollars, and vet it is
said, he never buys an ounce Of food,
a particle Of fuel, or a stitch Of cloth
ing, but begs everything. He lives in
a tumble down, story and a halt
| frame house on Michigan street, with
/ doors and windows shattered. nearly
/ the entire front portion open to the
street, and all his surroundings char
acterized by the most abjeet want and
/ deSOlatiOn. The two rooms he Occu-
/ pies are in the filthiest condition i'm
aginable, and hardly fit for a dog to
live in. The plaster is falling from
the walls, the windows are out, and
the cold wind sweeps through the
place in which there has not been a
/ fire in fourteen years. His bed room
is filled with old barrels, oyster cans
and other trash, and his bed is merely
heap of straw and rags IN the CEN
ter of the room.
| These squalid surroundings are pre-
cisely in keeping with the appearance
of the man, VINO, it is said, looks
worse than the majority of vagrants.
/ His face is pale, his eyes are cold and
sharp, and his whole demeanOr repul-
sive aud shabby in the extreme. At
tired in lOOsly fitting, torn and shab-
by garments, with dirty black neck
cloth, and an old battered hat upon
his head, he looks the ideal pauper.
And yet this man, who begs from
door to door for his daily pittance oil
/ food, and fares harder than the
most miserable of city paupers,
might purchase tile finest mansion in
Buffalo, and live in it like q lord, il he
chose. He owns portion of vaIua-
bic business block on Main street, col
lecting his rents with punctuality,
and is also the proprietor of two large
| farms in Michigan, the revenue from
which yields him IA handsome amount
annually.

THE SLEEPY LITTLE SISTER.

1 sat, one evening, watching
ALttIe golden head
That was nOdding DER a picture-book;
And pretty soon said,
"COme, darling, you are sleepy,
Don't you want 20 go 70 bed e"
&c No. she said. i isn't sleepy,
BgtI can't hold mp my head"
Sc Just now it feels so heavy,
There isn't any use;
Do let me Icy it down to rest
Oh dear old Mother GOosel
sha'n't shut up my eyes at all,
And so you need not fear;
III keep 'em open, all the while,
To see this picture here"
And then, as I said nothing,
She settled fol a nap.
One curl was resting on the frill
Orthe old lady's cap;
Her arms embraced the children small
Inhabiting the shoe;
" y dear" thought I, "what shall 1 say
For this will never do"
sat awhile in silence,
Till the clock struck its ''ding, ding"
And then 1 went around and kissed
The cunning little thing.
The violet eyes unfOlded,
AsI kissed her, and she said,
"Iisn't sleepy, sister,
ButI guess I'Il 90 to bed"

Directions How 10 Carve.

The following from an agricultural
paper will help many otherwise intel
iigent people who lack all skill and are
always embarrassed when asked To
carve: To carve fowls, which should
always be laid with the breast upper
most, place the fork in the breast, and
take off the wings and legs without
turning the fowl; then cut the merry
thought, cut slices from the breast,
cut out the collar bone, cut of the
side pieces, and then cut the carcass
in two. Divide the joints in the. leg
of q turkey. In carving a sirlOin cut
thin slices from the side next to you
lit must be on the dish with the ten
derlOin underneath), then turn it.
Help the guest TO both kinds. In cary
ing a leg of mutton or ham begin by
cutting across the middle of the bone.
Cut a tongue across and not length
wise, and held from the ribs, and then
divide the ribs. Help each one 20 q
piece Of kidney and its fat. Carve
pork and mutton in the same way
To carve a fillet Of veal, being at the
! top and help to the stufling with eacE
slice. In a breast of veal separate
the breast and brisket,and then cutup
asking which part is preferred. II
carving pig it is customary to di
vide it and take of the head before j
comes to the table, as 70 many per
sons the head is revolving. Cut of
the ribs and divide them. In cary
ing vension, make a deep incisioI
down the bone to let out the juice, ant
turn the broad end towards you, c1t
ting deep and in thin slices. Warn
plates are very necessary with veni
son and mutton, and in winter ar
very desirable for all kinds Of meats.

From the Washington Republican,
Death OF the Oldest Soldier In the
Service.

The death Of a remarkable soldier
of the United States Army has taken
place very recently at Fort Washing
ton-that of Ordnance Sergeant Cam
eron. He has been in the service for
sixty-seven years, and for forty years
past has been stationed at Fort Wash
ingtOn, and in all this time 1t is said
that he has never failed Of lighting
the lamp in the lighthouse once, so
re markable has been his unfailing
strength and health. He was in COM
mand Of the fort at the time Of the
breaking out Of the late war, and was
at the time the only officer there. He
has a very interesting and eventful
history, dating back to a period prior
to the time when General Winfield
Scott was in the army, and many has
been the weary evening beguiied and
made pleasant by the stories of his
camp life in early wars.
