An unfortunate young lawyer
was head over heels in love with
a beautiful young girl, and was
about to be married to her. On
the eve Of the wedding day he
was called in to defend an awful
miscreant-a man of thirty, who
had poisoned his mother and
father. The case seemed a lost
one and when the prosecution
had closed the young lawyer
was about giving up the strug-
gle without an effort. Sudden
ly he perceived in the extremity
Of the court room his beloved
and her parents, who had come
to see what kind Of stuff he was
made of. The presence of the
one he worships changes his
train of thought. He feels that
he must make a show Of talent,
and beginning his argument, he
rises to the highest flight Of ell
equence. In a word, he sue
ceeds in showing that the Grim
NAL is an upright, virtuous, and
much abused man, and obtains
his acquittal. In the evening
the lawyer with triumphant air,
calls at the house of his future
father-in-law, expecting that his
success will insure him a warm
reception. To his surprise he
finds the young girl cold and
her parents much embarrassed.
He asks what this sort of a re.
ception means? "My friend"
said he whom the young man
had already begun to call faith
erin law, "I must tell you
my daughter loves another"
" Another! Who is the man."
4" The good and virtuous man
whom You to-day by your elo-
quence restored to society,"" re-
plies the father.

Most terrible are the stories
told by survivors of the Metrop-
oils Of the treatment of the dead
and living at the hands of the
white and black people on the
North Carolina coast. Men
struggled bravely to the shore,
to be met by bands of thieves,
who took from them watches,
money and trinkets. Corpses
were seized as soon as they were
thrown. upon the sands, and
stripped of clothing. Surgeon
Greene says he saw pockets cut
out by these men; saw them
making away with baggage and
everything that washed ashore.
The same complaints were made
after the Huron was lost. 1t is
somebody's duty to look after
these offenders.

Paris has lately lost a notable
character in the person Of Wis
count Hubert de Roscattier, who
succumbed to delirium tremens
at the premature age Of AZ. The
Viscount struck upon an origi-
nal mode Of procuring liveli-
hood. In addition to being a
very free luncher, he used to
raise supplies by posting himself
outside gambling clubs, and, as
gentleman left, presenting card
bearing his name, and further
eariched with the heraldic insig-
mia of the noble house Of Roeat-
tier, and then requesting the loan
of ten francs, which, partly out
Of consideration for his beng a
dilapidated man Of good family,
partly in view of the fact that
he considered refusal an insult,
and was capital swordsman,
was rarely refused.
