a lawyer once asked the late Judge
Pickens, of Alabama, to charge the jury
that it is better that ninety and nine
guilty men should escape than that one
innocent man should be punished. ~
Yes" said the witty Judge, 81 will
give that charge, but in the opinion OF
the court the ninety and nine guilty men
have already escaped in this county. ~

SPARE MINUTES.

How much can we accomplish in them
if we only try. If the farmer, while he
is waiting for his dinner to be ''dished
up, would nail on that loose palinS to
the garden gate, or do five minutes work
on the doorstep which needs repairing,
or tack up the vine which the storm has
beaten down. he will feel none the worse
for 1t when he sits down to dinner, and
yet the piece of work will give him salts
faction every time he thinks of it. More
than this, the mended gate will keep the
chickens from destroying the garden.
thus saving him dollars of money and
hours Of time. The mended step NAV
save some member of the household
heavy fall, and perhaps broken bones.
1t certainly vii add much to the stock
of happiness to feel that it is ell sound
and safe. The vine over the window
gives an air of taste and refinement to
the house, which is very different from
the effects produced by ragged, wind
beaten vine trailing in the path. How
sadly these things are neglected about
too many households,
For want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For want of the shoe the horse was lost
For want of the horse the rider was lost
And all for the want of horseshoe nail.
There's not much poetry in the old
ditty, but there is good deal of truth
IN the lesson it is intended to teach.
1t is quite as true indoors as out. The
woman who is quick y observe little
things that need doing, who mends gar
ments as soou rs possible after they are
torn-who does not think it too much
trouble to get her needle and thread and
sew rent up in an odd FIVE minutes
will never have her mending basket piled
up 50 high it half distracts her to look at
it. The forehanded housewife cuts her
carpetrags handful at time, as she
cuts out her work, instead of throwing
all the o. Ids and ends in barrel together
until the weeh before she wishes to send
II of to the weaver. it seems to take no
time when she cuts them az she makes
them, and they can be carefully s,o,ved
away il some safe place, and smaller
