best dressed women in Paris are not the

Weighing the Evidence.

A short time since a worthy magis-
trate of New Orleans had rather diff
cult question to decide, in the solution
of which he struck out a path hitherto
unknown In jurisprudence. 1t seems
that twelve negroes appeared before
him, each one of whom swore positively
that himself and the other eleven had
done q certain amount OF work on a
steamboat, and was entitled thereby to
wages. It was steady streak-each of
the dozen swearing precisely the same.
On the other side appeared the mate of
the boat and eleven deck hands, who all
swore directly and point blank to an op-
posite state of facts to that testified to
by the twelve plaintiffs. Here the evil
dence closed, leaving the judge to make
up his mind.s
His Honor scratched his head, looked
wise, pondered few moments, and then
said: "The law makes it the duty of
the court. when in doubt, to weigh the
this case. You," turning to one of the
suing darlzies, '' take your crowd. over
to Mr.. Is Ga grocery store In the
vicinity), and have them weighed, and
bring me- certificate of their weight
from the clerk And you," turning to
| the mate, edo the same with yourself
and witnesses. This court must make
up judgment somehow"
| The mandate of the court was obeyed
the contestants appeared with their re.
spectiye certificates, the mates party
outweighing the other by nine pounds
which was sufficient to turn the scale.

Through the gray willows the bleak winds are
Here on the shore, with its drift-wood ana san'''
Over the liver the lilies waving,
Bathed in the sunshine of Orient lanus'
Over the river, the wide, dark river forever
Spring-time and summer are piooHe
Here all alone on the rocks a am 81 al gone-

Labor AM lave were the lau els that crowned me;

t5nt the deep river, the gray, misty river,
Ali that lived for has taken forever!
silently came back boat DER the pillows;
SEeaithily grated the keel on the sand;
Rustling foosl cps were heard through the willows
There the dark boatman stood, waving his hand
Whispering, 81 come DER the shadow river.
She who is dearest must leave thee forever"'
Suns tat brightest and skies that were bluest
Darkened and paled in the message he bore
Year after year went the fJndest the truest
Following that reckoning hand to the shore
Dawn to the river, the cold, grim river,
over whose waters they vanished forever
Yet not in visions of grief have wandered:
sun nave tolled though my ardors have flown.
LABOR Is manhood; and life is but suuandered
Dreaming vague dreams of the future alone.
Yet from the tides of the mystical river
Voices OF spirits are whispering ever.
Lonely and old, in the dust 1 am waiting,
Till the dark boatman, with soft muffled oar,
Glides Ger the waves, and hear the keel grating
Zee the dim, beckoning hand on the shore,
Nafting me over the welcoming river
