1 WAS A GREAT SUFFERER FROM ITCHING

REBUKING JURYMAN.-I once heard this
anecdote of Judge Parsons, said the Rev.
James Freeman Clarke, the great Massachu-
sets advocate and lawyer. 1t is said that
being about to try a mercantile case, he
ordered jury to be summoned, and among
the names was that of Mr. Thomas II. Per-
ihzins, the leading merchant of Boston, and a
personal friend of Judge Parsons. When
the officer made his return, he laid down a
$50 bill before the Judge
"What is that?" said Parsons
'Mr. Perkins says he is very busy indeed,
to-day, and prefers to pay his fine"
"Take that back to Mr.. Perkins," said
the Judge "and tell him to come here at
once; and if he refuses, bring him by
force"
When Mr.. Perkins appeared, the Judge
looked sternly at him, and said, "What do
you mean, sir by sending money wheny you
were summoned to sit on this jury?"
Mr. Perkins replied: II meant no disre.
spect to the court your honor; but was
extremely busy fitting out a ship for the
East Indies, and thought if l paid my fine
| might sSS excused. -l..
"Fitting out ship for the East Indies,
sir? shouted the Judge; land how happens
itthat you are able to fit out ship for the
East Indies"
Your Honor, l do not understand you. u
II repeat, then, my question:; how is II
that you are able to fit out a ship for the
East Indies? If you do not know, / will tell
you. 1t is because the laws of your coun.
try are properly administered. If they
we're not, you would have no ships. Take
your seat, sir, with the jury"

THE OLD PIANO.

"Well, take it for what ii is worth,
1t cost me five hundred and more;
You'll hardly believe it, twas then
The handsomest one in the store"
There's nothing own in the world
That ] am so certain to miss;
I've parted with two legged friends
With far less regret than with this.
What joys,it recalls of the past,
What moments ofrapturous ease;
What delicate hands that l loved
Swept over its ivory keys;
What tremulous tender and sweet,
Rose, quivered and died on the air
And life was story in song,
Untouched by the shadow of care.
What visions Of suppers it brings;
More jolly, l fancy, than wise,
When radiant bachelor swells
Swarmed in for merry surprise.
Then chorus and song, till at last
Wine clouded the talents Of each,
And musical lunacy came
To finish it all with a screech.
What dreams of the dances row fled
When brighter to us than the stars,
We waltzed with the daintiest girls,
Who did not "object to cigars"
Rare plans for the future we laid,
We thought not of sorrow or loss,
But whirled in swift circles of bliss
To the magical measures of Strauss.
You've answered to many touch,
And sounded full many time;
December hath brought you its wreaths
And summer sent roses of June;
You've witnessed the rise and the fall
Of many old friendships and new,
But out of my feeling for all,
Old friend, I've the deepest for youl
