Avaeric Outwitted.

The case of John Eyre, ESQ.,,
who, though worth upwards of
920, 900, was convicted at the
Old Baily, and sentenced to
transportation, for stealing e.
leyen quires of common writing
paper, was rendered more me-
morable by the opportunity
which it gave Junius to impeach
the integrity of Lord Mansfield,
who was supposed to have err
red in admitting HIM to bail.
An anecdote is related of MIR.
Eyre, which shows in q strik-
ing manner the natural deprav-
ity of the human heart, and may
help to account for the mean
ness of the crime of which he
stood convicted. An uncle of
his, a gentleman of considerable
property, made his will IN favor
of clergyman, who was an in
innate friend, and committed it,
unknown to the, rest of his fam
lily, to the custody of the divine.
However, not long before his
death, having altered bis mind
with regard to the disposal of
his wealth, he made another will
i'm which he left the Clergyman
only $500, leaving the bulk of
his large fortune to go to his
nephew and heir-in-law, Mr..
Eyre. Soon after the old gem
tleman's death, Mr.. Eyre, rum
aging over his drawers, found
this last will, and perceiving
the legacy of $500 in it for the
clergyman, without any hesita-
.tion or scruple of conscience, put
it in the fire, and took posses
sion of the whole effects, in con-
sequence of his uncle's being
supposed to have diedintestate.
The clergyman coming to town
soon alter, and inquiring into
the circumstances Of his old
friends death asked if he had
made any will before he died.
On heino answered hv Mr. Eyre
in the negative, the clergyman
very coolly put his hand in his
pocket and pulled out the former
will, which had been committed
to his care, in which Mr.. Eyre
had bequeathed him the whole
of his forttine, amounting to
several thousand pounds, ex-
cepting a legacy of $500 to his
nephew.

A Singular Sect.

Rockingham county, Va, is
just now 'fair as the garden Of
the Lord with fruit orchards
and country lanes white and ro-
sy with dogwood and sweetbri-
cr. Tho Dunkards, German
Baptists, have settled on farms
or built their quiet villages ali
through this fertile valley,
stretching up and down, choos-
ing shrewdly the rich bottom
lands which lie between the AL
loghanies of Pennsylvania, Ma
ryland and East Tennessee.
Wherever they go they carry
thrift, peace and plenty with
them. They are usually skill
full farmers and dairymen, are
as close and honest in dealing
as Quakers, refuse like them
to fight or take an oath, and
wear, also, dress given up by
the rest of the world a century
ago. The men, with their pa
triarchal boards, buttonless
coats and wide-rimmed hats,
and the women in their prim
|chocolate-colored gowns with
dainty white lawn caps and
crossed neck-handkerehiefs, are
a picturesque feature Of the
mountains in West Virginia
and Maryland.
This quaint, ancient sect has
increased slowly but steadily in
numbers and wealth during the
last few years. In one marked
respect these German Baptists
differ from other sects. Their
clergymen receive no salaries,
supporting themselves ike St.
Paul, by the labor of their own
hands. The gospel is with
them free gift.

"Sold Again. .

A colored woman, acco1npa-
MED by a bright three-year old
"pick" were passengers on a
Woodward avenue car yester-
day, and after alternately obserV-
ing the youngster for a few min
utes an old man leaned forward
and asked:
"Madam,is that child for saleY'
/ oval, dat's 'cordin' to the
price sot on him, / 'spose," she
replied.
"I'll give you a ten dollar bill
for him." continued the man.
"Dafs my igger, an de nig-
ger am yourn 7 she answered,
and with a twist Of her arm she
placed the ''pick'' on the buy
er's knee, and held out her hand
for the money.
"Well-but-" the dazed man
|stammered, as the little elf clung
tightly to his vest and seemed
greatly pleased.
"ConAe right down wild de
script" said the woman. "You
made de offer an / 'cepted it,
an if I can sell de odder seven
at the same price, I'll begin all

'Madam, / will give you two

the man as he fished for his wal
let.
"Wall, but you want to be a.

preferred to stand on the plat

his own affair.

The Counterfeit Bill.


A sharp man, who hews sc
close to the line which separates
honesty from dishonesty as not
linfrequentIy to cross it, is like
/ ly to have his own chips hi,
him in the face. Such a one
met his match when he encoun-
tered a shrewd man. It was
lduring the. War Of 1912, En-
| gland was made up of bills of
suspended banks; of bank notes
authorized by the Connecticut
Legislature, and redeemable
three years after the War
These were called ssfacilities.' q
There were also specie bank
bills, which were the notes Of
the New England banks that
continued to pay specie, said
notes being rare. Besidcs,thcse
there were counterfeits in cir.
culation. The specie bills were
at a premium, and the "facili-
ties" at 20 per cent. discount.
A traveller offered a SIS note
at a turnpike gate, and received
in change roll of greasy bills
CHANGING at it, he remarked:
"Why, half Of these are coun-
terfeitF,
81 know it," replied the keep
er, shut they'll pass just as vel
as any other money"
1t was under these circum-
stances that, in the city of
Hartford, a shrewd man called
one day on a greedy neighbor,
with whom he had some deal
lings. The following dialogue
took place:
Shrewd man-Do you recol-
lect giving me a $40 bill in
change yesterday?
Greedy Man-No, 1 don't
Why do you ask2
S. M.-Well, / found a specie
bill of $40 in my pocket-book
and | thonght / might have re-
celved it from you. You re-
member / was only entitled to
a "facility," and not q specie
bill?
G. M.-Well, I dare say you
had it of me. Let me see it.
S. M.-There it is.
G. M.-Oh, yes; I recollect
it perfectly. I'll take it, and
give you a ''tacility."
.S.M.-Are you sure you gave
me that bill?
G.. M.-Certainly, certainly:
| recollect it distinctly. .
S. M.-Well, Pm glad you
are sure, for they tell me The
specie bill IS coa.;StezJeit.

He Hung Himself.

| Jerry Mooney and his wifi
lcould never agree. Whateve
he did she condemned, to all sh,
did she would not permit him Il
utter a disparaging word.
"Mollie," said he one day, sc
cannot please you while / live
so | will see whether my deatf
will increase your happiness
I'li hang myself"
"Do please," was the cool re-
lsponse.
Half an hour later she hap
pened to go up stairs, and sure
enough, there was Jerry hang
ing by the neck. 1t was not O
slip knot, however, but a sham
a circus man taught him. She
gave q scream and rushed down
stairs, while he caught the rope
with hands, and took q rest and
laughed quietly to think how he
had fooled his wife. lie heard
her rushing up again, followed
by a neighbor. Then they cut
him down and took the rope
from his neck, his wife, the
meanwhile, indulging luxurious
ly in grief. Suddenly he felt bis
hands tied behind him and q te-
nacious plaster slapped over his
mouth, his wife crying and
moaning all the time. g
ssNow help me with all your
might, said she, to Mrs. Barber,
"these are the first things to be
done when a man is half hung;
the plaster compels him to
breathe through his nose when
he comes too. Now run for the
hot flat-iron-hurry."
And then began a system of
torture for poor Mooney that
would have put the Inquisition
to blush. They held hot irons
to the soles Of his feet until he
Squirmed with pain; they appli-
ed a mustard plaster to his chest
that drew like a locomotive;
they bathed his head with ice
water till he thought ofIceland.
The more he kicked the more
vigorous their exertions; they
slapped his hands, rolled him
over the floor, and stood him on
his head Gice gersG. This was
kept up for half an hour, when
he was released, and then his
wife quietly informed him when
he wanted to humbug her again
to heaye ahead.

AJoke Returned.

The Palmyra Enterprise
Published in Jefferson county,
Wisconsin, relates this new dog
story-and a pretty good one.
A gentleman connected with
the United States lake survey,
in this city, was engaged ono
day on the skirt of a wood in
Indiana. Near him, sleeping
lazily in the sun, lay his faith
full dog, Tiger. Thinking to
have some. fun with the dog, he
gave a shout and a jump into
the thicket as If all the game
ever protected by game laws
from marauding hunters was
thrashing through the bushes.
AS he expected. Tiger came
bounding and barking to the
fray, and soon detecting the
trick that was played upon him,
sneaked back to his lair and lay
down again.
The surveyor resumed his du-
ties, and was hard at work for
two or three hours, when, all al
once, the dog rose from his
sleep, set his ears and eyes in
direction of the wood, gave q
bark and made o rush to the
forest depths.
The surveyor followed the
noble brute to tree up which
he was sending canine congrat-
ulations to the prey; but when
the surveyor came and began
anxiously to scan the beughs
fer the hiding game Tiger gave
a satisfied "Ah WhoohI" be-
slowed a glance of contempt at
the surveyor, and striking a
dignified gait stalked back to
his couch with the appearance
Of a dog that had squared all
accounts with tho lake survey,
and had left nothing duo on ei-
ther side. l 8

Splitting the Difference.


A young man with the blush
of country life on his cheeks
sold out his produce on the
market yesterday and entered a
shoe store andsaid he wanted a
pair of shoes for his wife.
"What numbcr?" asked the
clerk.
The young husband scratched
his head, looked very much en-
barrassed, and finally said,
"Well, I've been married
eight months. but this shoe bus
mess stumps me. ] don't hard

Away your friendship 1 disdain,

Your false regard from me remove,
Withdraw from me your worthless love;
Who dare with calunny and shame
To mark my fair unblemished name.
OF more intrinsic worth 10 me,
A name of spotles purity
More valued far the prize hold, s,
Than laural wreath or crown Of gold,
Not that feel the slightest fear,
To meet the worlds malicious sneer,
'Tis met with more than equal scorn,
And by its victim proudly borne;
Unharned I stand nor deign TO care,
OF all accused my conscience Is clear.
Can falsehood mark its base design
To injure me while virtue IS mine
Or sacred truth be cast aside, 81 q
To let the dark, lerlidious tide
OF slander from the perjured tongue,
Pursue its course Of baneful wrong T?
Shall truth be naught? shall Justice fail ?
And shall a serpent tongue prevail;
And shall th' unjust aecuser's stair,
On me foreVermore remain2 -sT
While in virtue firmly stand,
Against that false accuser's brand.
Nay, great Ayenger of my wrongs,

VINO views nay wild, impulsive soul,
Where passions fiery pillows roll;
Before thine "aH surveying eye
Hersecret thoughts expanded lie, 80

Bid holy truth triumphant reign;
