To the Hons. Neil s. Brown, Jo. G.
Guild and others-Gentlemen Imost
gratefully acknowledge your joint let
ter of Che 10Th inst, in which you do
me the honor to express your appre-
D., citation of my official labors as one OF
the judges of the Supreme Court OF
the State, and tender me public ban.
quet on the occasion of my retirement
from that great office. While circum-
stances oblige me to deny myself the
pleasure of the proposed reunion, al
low me to assure you ofmy high esti-
mate of the distinguished honor YOU
have done me, as well as the graceful
aud complimentary manner in which
yoa give utterance to your wishes
and feelings Oh the subject.
Next to a conscientious sense OF
duty performed the highest and holi
Hest reward of public man is in the
confidence and respect of the peoplC
he has served. To,ha such an ex.
preston from so respectable body o.
my follow citizens, composed of repre-
sentative men, from almostevcy busi.
ness pursuit, and among them eminent
lawyers, who had the best opportunity
to pass Judgment upon my judicia
conduct, is a great honor indeed.
1t was an observation Of one of the
great Lord Chancellors of England
that the two happiest moments of
mans life are when he takes upor
himself the burthen of great ofie,
aud when he lays il down. The lat
ter alternative is doubly happy wheI
one has the assurance that his service
have been satisfactory-and when h,
feels that he has eonseientiously en-
deayored to do his whole duty. Will,
my labors scarcely merit the high en-
comiun which the touch Of you
friendly hands has pronounced upol
them, yet, can safely say that re
tire from the Bench, and go back Il
the conflicts Of the Bar with a con
science void of intentional wrong, il
the holy mission of minister of pub
lie Justice. | have the honor to b
your friend sincerely,

THE BOY PHILANTHROPY.

He was boy with 10 cents in his fist.
lie counted the money at the corner OF
woodward avenue and Congress street,
again at The corner OF Jefferson avenue,
and once more on GrisWold street, and
there w as no more or less. He was a
boy who wanted to do good with his
money. His heart was chuck full OF
philanthropy, and contained not one
grain OF selfishness. His first desire
was to buy nineteen barrels Of flour for
nineteen poor and worthy widows, but
after figuring little he found that he
couldn't do it. Then he got the idea
that he might offer gold medal as a
prize 10 the Woodward.avenue car
driver who should drive his car The near
az, to one mile in an hour, but he re-
plied that some would drive in an hour
and thirty minutes, some second SLOW
er or a second faster, and the strife
might result In the death Of three or
four horses.

sweved Sam.
The philan thropist walked away from
them, and as he neafed a candy store ht
mused:
"I fgger that one jawbreaker will
make me happy for half an hour, anc
that nineteen jawbreakers will last me

THE CROW AND THE HOUND,

story to tell: Last spring MI. William
Sinclair, of Cambray, caught a young
crow before it could fly ana brought it
home, and it soon became quite tame.
IL struck up warm friendship win a
young hound belonging TO Mr.. Sinclair.
The crow always was around with the
hound, shared his meals, and slept in
his box at night, on the bottom, not
seeking to percn, unless they were dis
turbed during the night, when he would
come OUT ana fly up into one Of The trees
near by and remain there until morning.
When gwen food, il would invariably
take portion to the hound.
1t would not give it to him at once, but
wouiu fly around just above his head
with piece Of meat or crust OF bread
in his bill, and Keep teasing him for quite
while with it, and then would finally
let him have IL. But last week instinc
began to be too. powerful, and he con
cluded that he must 60 to other quarters
ior the winter, and 1t was amusing tt
see how he tried to coax the hount
away with him. He would fly away I
little piece and then light and cav t.
the dog, then he would fly back, ant
seemed in quite distress because h
could not induce his tour-footed frient
| to go to warmer quarters TOR the winter
but finding he would not leave he a
