The CORNER LOAFER.


Everybody knows him at sight.
What he does by daylight is mystery,
for his face would exclude him from
everything but the mock auction, and
bis clothes do not qualify him for that.
BY night, however, he is critic. par
ticularly of the gcntler sex, and while
he is not destitute of appreciation his
favorable remarks are more to be
dreaded than his criticisms. He selects
his professional stand on the most
crowded thOroughfares, where police
men most do c0ngregate; but he is let
alone as tenderly by officers as if he
were burglar or q roper-in for a
gambling house. He never appears
alone, but is q consistent believer in
the theory of cooperation, and what
remains unsaid by him and his associ.
ates concerning any lady who passes
them is beneath the capacity of the
meanest blackguard to conceive. Ut
terly depraved himself, he cannot i'm
agine that any one upon whom he
looks can be otherwise. Instinctively
a coward, Ms lips are sealed in the
presence of q lady accompanied by a
gentleman or even hslf.grown boy.
Having only two feet, he cannot be
shot like the Spitz dog or any other
nuisance being voter
he cannot be arrested without damag-
ing the prospects of some human
nuisance equally dangerous but more
political. The only relief from him
seems to reside in the toe of the manly
boot. Self-constituted vigilance COM

HOW NOAH GOT HIS NAME

HOW NOAH GOT HIS NAME
After the ark had baen out about
two weeks, the wife of the captain be-
gan to get tired and restless, and anx-
ious to be once more on dry land.
Hence she fell into habit of every
now and then calling out to her hus-
band, and inquiring if there were any
signs of clearing up, ETC., and she al
ways answered No. she would in de-
spair add 'Ah = aud so it went from
hour to hour and day to day.
One night the wind came out from
the northeast and made things very
lively on board. The jib clew lines
were all parted the topsail pinnacle
was carried away and the main sheet
blown into pieces no larger than five
cent handkerchief. OF course the
sold man was kept busy and was not
in the best of huinor. He had Just
hailed the lockout and asked if he had
seen anything of AIRY rat and receiv-
ed in answer Nary rat, sir!' Had just
ordered Shem, who was steering to
keep her off two points, when Ham
came on board and reported that the
largest elephant had broken loose, and
insisted Oh taking his trunk into the
camel's department, who in turn had
got their back up about the interview.
The various beasts had taken sides in
the quarrel, and there was a grand row
generally. just as the captain had
persuaded the elephant to go back to
his own room, and had checked his
trunk in order to pacify him, there
came voice, ANY signs of clearing
up, desr2' 1t was raining then liter
ally in sheets. To the inquiry was Civ
en- the usual reply, and to the reply
was added the usual 'Ah,' only in a
sadder tone than usual.
1t was little more than the old man
could stand, and he yelled out, No.
'Ah,' No. Ahp it is nothing but No.
tAh!' all day long, You had better call
me Noah and be done with it!' and
he went below to splice the main
brace, which had parted. And so it
was that the Captain of the first great
ship came to be called N oah.'
The study Of the origin Of names is
one of great interest, and it is rather
remarkable that 80 little attention has
been paid to it. Almost any name can
be traced to its probable origin. Thus
'Smashpiper, the smasher OF pipes, or
'TUgmutton,' he who was celebrated
as tugger of mutton. Why not ap-
point q committee to ascertain the ori-
gin of all names? 1t would be as use-
full as many other researches.-[Max

THE TRIAL SCENE IN THE "1fERCHANT
OF VENICE.
Temple Bar I

1t has been contended that Shakespeare
was lawyers clerk. If SO, heaven defend
me from such lawyer as taught him! The
Doge, having all Venice to choose from for
an assessor (if he wanted one), sffconts his
own city and it's bar by sending to Padua
for the "learned Bellario," who, being sick,
sent in his stead a young doctor from Rome
in fact, Portia, disguised. Now, l do
hope there was no consultation between
these two. l would rather supposo, for
Baliario's credit ss a lawyer, that POrt!a
forged that letter, and evolved these mis-
erable Quibbles which she Pile AIDED after
ward out of inward consciousness. She is
accepted as assessor and Immediately "sits
upon" the court-not in the technical
sense as becoming "a member herself, but
III the slang meaning of these words. Sue
snubs aud suppresses 1t, lnstanter! The
Doge is extinguished. She states the law,
and how. There is no contest as to the
making of the bond, OF ts forfeiture; but
this extraordinary principle is stated {: A
man who is entitled to cut pound OF
living flesh may not shed o drop Of blood
in the bond. The greater includes the less,
says a maxim of law older than Venice.
Permission to take II thing involves grant
OF the necessary ways and means to take
it. Both parties had agreed that the flesh
was to be cut. 1t could Dot be- cut without
shedding blood. Therefore they had agreed
(by presumptioD) to shed blood ii the
cutting took place. But you may say there
is to be no presumption; Shylock stuck to
the letter of his bond. Good then Shy
lock might have turned the tables and
said: "The bond contaius nothing about
bleeding. You (Antonio) have got to yield
me pound of flesh without any blood. If
you choose to bleed, so much the worse
for you." What would Nine. Assessor have
held in reply to this2 But ste does not
stop here. She says: "If thou takest more
or less than just pound thou
diest.'' Why9 Surely debtor may take
less than his due. If you owe me five
shillings, can any power on earth prevent
me from accepting four and sixpence
Why, before Portia comes in, they beg and
pray Shylock to forego the whole of his
penalty Thus admitting that he was rot
without discretion as to tue extent to which
he would press his remedy. "Take the
sum twice told" urges Portia, "and bid me
tear the bond" If he would give up the
whole of the penalty he would certainly
give up part. He could have taken half
an ounce of flesh if he pleased, but would
have no right to come and cut again. His
remedy would have been exhausted. He
was entitled to cut as much as he pleased
less than pound. He was entitled to all
the blood, bone, sinew, fibre, and what not
which that flesh contained as component
and necessary parts thereof; and they
jewed him out Of il. This is all bad law
and worse logic.
