A Court Which Knew Itself.

A funny affair in a court of law
lately came off at Chicago. One
Amelia Donnerschlog brought suit
against Augustus Behrens, who had
promised to marry her, but failed to
keep his word. The lady demanded
two hundred dollars in damages, not
an exorbitant price for her disap-
pointment in being obliged to retain
so cumbrous a name as Donnerschlog.
The suit came before Mr.. Justice
BanyOn, and Mr.. Behrens, not deny
ing the principal facts alleged against
him, excused himself by saying that
Amelia insisted as a condition of the
marriage that her mother should
keep house for the young couple, and
this Augustus could not consent to.
81 told her." said he, "that l loved
her deeply, and was ready to marry
her but did not wish to marry her
mother, also, who was a woman of
lordly habits, and insisted on feeding
me on cabbage, vegetable 1 always
disliked."
After this frank avowal of his pur-
pose and his un-Teutonic disaster for
the national vegetable, Mr.. Justice
Banyon said: (Which would you
rather do, marry the lady and take
her mother to live with you, or pay
two hundred dollarsT Augustus
answered firmly, 81 willpay two hun
dred dollars" Whereupon the worthy
and enlightened magistrate delivered
the following judgment: "Allow me
to shake hands with you, envy your
firmness. There was period in the
life of this Court, Mr.. Behrens, when
it was in circumstances somewhat
similar to your own. If it had had
the moral courage which you possess
it would have saved about twenty
five years of misery and unhappi-
ness.
"The alternative was presented to
this Court whether it would marry a
young lady and her mother, or wheth-
er it would pay $125 in gold. The
Court was poor at that time. 1t was
earning an unsatisfactory living at
the restaurant business. 1t yielded.
1t took the young woman and mother
in-law, and kept the $125. For
quarter of a century this Court re-
GREETED its hasty action. 1t is glad
to meet man who cherishes happl-
ness more than he does money. The
order of the court is that the de
fendant stand discharged, and that
the complainant, who has been trying
to bring a man into slavery to a moth
er-in-law, be fined ten dollars and
costs,'"

A PRAYER.
BY MRS. SARA wOLvERTON.
Under the Cloud.
nnnsinnr thro, the waters now

Under the Cloud.
I am passing thro' the waters now,
The winds are wild, and cold,
Oh! Father, stay my trembling steps,
Thine arm about me fold.
Light Thou my lamp, and guide my feet
Lest l should go astray;
So many hidden rocks arise,
Along this trial-way.
So all alone seem to be,
So few to understand;
Shew Thou to me the footprints plain,
And take my outheld hand.
Look down, oh! Father, God, on her
Who bends beneath her woe;
The star that shines above the gloom,
To her, oh! Father, shew.
And whisper words of perfect peace
To her poor breaking heart;
That she may bear this heavy cross,
Tho drops of anguish start.
HThe widows Godr" Oh! Father, now
Sustain lest she should fall;
And as the darkened memories rise,
Let comfort speak thro' all.

large and strong, dressed in the garb
of the sea.
Does Mrs. Archer live hereP' the
man asked in voice scarcely audi
Bile.
'Miss Archer lives here, sir"
'Itis late, know" the man SAID,
after a long pause; "but have walk
ed out from the city, and as l came
this way and saw light in the win
dow, l ventured to stop as l had an
errand to do"
The man had the odor of the sea
about him, and Mary was not afraid.
There was something to her sacred
in those habiliments,-and she bade
him come in.
He followed her into the sitting
room, but he did not sit down in the
profered seat, nor did he remove his
hat. 1t was chilly autumnal night,
and he wore his pea.jacket buttoned
close up.
"You said you had an errand, sirT'
Mary at length ventured.
"Yes, yes" said the man with a
start. He had been looking at her
from the shadow of his hat rim.
"Yes, 1 have an errand. 1t was
given to me years ago. At one time
for a long time-I thought l
never should bring it; but fate has
been kinder than / dared to hope.
You know-none should know better
that there are mortal dangers on
the deep. l was wrecked as others
had been wrecked before and since.
| was cast alone on a raft upon an
island, where savages were for long
years my only companions. Taught
them many useful things, and they
were kind to me. Of gold and prec-
ious stones gathered a great store,
useless there, but to me of value
should l ever again find my native
land. The time came, at length, af-
ter weary years, and my feet once
more tread the soil of my own coun-
try. And, lady, have come to full
fill trust. l knew who you were
before l came here. They told me
in the city of your situation"
The man unbuttoned his. pea
Jacket and drew something out
from his bosom, and slipped some
thing from around his neck. The
former was a golden locket, SCARED,
worn, and blackened, and the latter
was soiled, frayed, and knOtted
remnant of Gingy ribbon. In the
locket, beneath the abraded glass,
was just discernible braid of brown
hair. He handed it to Mary.
''Do you know thatY'
The words were spoken huskily,
and with an effort.
She caught the precious memento
and clasped it with both her hands tc
her bosom.
The man seemed to be growing
weak. He sat down and removed his
H1U, anu the wealth. OF NUT J-DTUun
curls, with just touch of silver here
and there, fell over his temples and
clustered upon his broad, frank, and
manly DrOW.
Mary saw, and her heart leaped
The long dark years were gone as by
the touch of magician's wand, and
the old evening of that far-gOne time
lifted its blessed light upon her.
"PAULr
The cry told to the man from over
the sea all he would know. He stood
again upon his feet, with his arms
Outstretched, and in a moment more
the faithfully loved and the faithfully
loving one was clasped to his BOSOM
"Yes, Mary, after all these years,
o! thank God, it is light at last! No
more trial, darling, no more sorrow
ing. We can forget the darkness and
the agony in this blessed hour. O.
once more, thank God it is light at
last?"

The smallest postoffice in the world
is keptin barrel, which swings from
the outermost rock of the mountains
oyerhanging the Straits of Magellan
opposite Terra del Fuego. Every
passing ship opens it to place letters
in or take them out. Every ship un-
dertakes to forward all letters in it
that it is possible for them to trans
NIT. 1t hangs there by its iron chain,
beaten and battered by the winds

.so The Committee decided that the question need

uony unless evidence was first produced connecting
!, with officers Of the Treasury Department,
Persons connected with the Columbian Company
testified that ii had cash capital, and was organ
;zed on the basis Of lot of old printing material,
which was valued at 100000. A contract was made
in January with the Company by Assistant Secre-
tary Sawyer by which it is TO be given all the work
that has heretofore been done by the New-Iork
Companies. There appears to be somo delay In car
wing out this contract and thus far the concern mas
snly printed the new ten cent notes. Why the
$4,000 in stock has not been handed over to Smith
10 distribute to the persons TO whom he has no doubt
promised it, is yet unexplained mystery. 1t is
claimed on behalf of the Columbian Company that
il can do the printing cheapy as it is done in New
York and that the Government will save the heavy
charge for expressage on the currency and bonds
from New-York here. On the other side. it is urged
that the Washington company is a mushroom con-
eo that lives only by favor of the Treasury that it
has secured its contract by giving away large guam
titles of stock to persons unknown but suspected TO
be very near the source of power in the Treasury,
and that it can give no such security for the faithful
ful6ment Of It's obligations as the old-established
New-York companies A curious piece of evidence
was put in to-day by the Columbian Company in
tire shape of old letters written in April 1861,
BY which it appears officers of both of the New
York companies offered to print the Confederate
bonds aud currency, and Ito work night and day"
for that purpose.
