THE DEVIL AND THE LAWYERS.

The devil came up to earth one day,
And into the courthouse he wended his way
Just as the attorney, with very grave face.
Was proceeding to argue the points in a case.
Now lawyer his majesty never had seen,
For in his dominions none ever had been
And he felt very curious the reason to know,
Why none had been sent to the regions below.
Twas the fault of his agents, his majesty tho't,
Why none of these lawyers had ever been
caught,
And for his own pleasure he had desire
To come to the earth and the reason inquire.
Well, the lawyer who rose with visage so
grave,
Made out his opponent consummate knave,
And the Devil was really greatly amused,
To hear the attorney so greatly abused.
As soon ms the speaker had come to a close,
The counsel opposing then fercely arose,
And heaped such abuse on the head of the first
And made him villain, of all men the worst
Thus they quarrelled, commended and argued
so long,
Twas hard TO determine the one that was
wrong,
And concluding he'd heard quite enough of
the fuss,
Old Nick turned away aud soliloquzed thus
'If all they have said OF each other be true,
The devil has surely been robbed of his due:
They have puzzled the court with their viii
famous cavil,
And am free to confess, they have puzzled
the devil,
Ny agents are right to let lawyers alone;
If had them they d swindle me out of my

GRAMMAR. -Some Of our readers who
may be grammarians will be kind enough
to tell us, if they can, whether the plural
Of tallor's goose is geese or gooscs.-
Some time since a variety merchant in
the country wished to order from hard
ware store in the city something for his
tailor customers and wrote as follows:
please send me two tailors' gooses."
Not liking the grammar, and fearing
his New York friends would laugh at
him, he destroyed that order and wrote:
Please send me two tailors' geese"
After the letter was sealed he was
troubled in his mind lest they should
send him couple of live geese, purcha-
sed from some tailor, when he took the
document from the postoffice, destroyed
it, and for two days thought Of nothing
except how TO word his order SO it could
be understood and according to grammar.
At last he gave up in despair, and wrote:
"Please send me one tailor's goose,
and d--n it, send me another just like it,

High Prices.

It has long been evident that many
who desired to purchase Lock Stitch
Sewing Machine for domestic use, or Of
ten, perhaps, as an aid toward procuring
a livelihood, were deferred from doing SO
by the high price of Lock-Stitch Ma
chine, with the various appliances neces-
sary, costing more than many felt will
ling to pay.
Various Cheap machines were put in
the market, making curious and fancy
stitches; but in the end, on account of
repairs constantly needed, time lost when
they would not work, and garments
spoiled when they would work. they
proved more expensive than the Lock
Stitch Machines; and the seams that
were warranted to take out easily-if
you knew how-had way Of taking
themselves out at time and in man
ncr never anticipated by the wcarer.
In view Of these facts, Elias Howe,
the original inventor of Sewing Ma
chimes, resolved to give the world Lock
Stitch Family Sewing Machine that
should combine all the best points of his
previous machines, with such improve
ments as bis long experience and ripe
judgment should suggest; in word,
the best possible machine, to be sold at
the minimum of profit, relying upon tho
large sales sure to follow the introduce
ton of a strictly first class machine at
moderate price.
The Howe Machine can be obtained of
the Agent, j. EAGLE, Rockville, at New
York prices, and on easy terms. Tho
public will please bear in mind that some
other macbinesare sold at Ji1teea doltars
