"Why, Ia. bless you, Mrs. Hixley,
Pm so glad to see you,' SAID one, with
a quick, nervous voice, rs he fell back
little after the scrimmage, and furled
her features into look of satisfied Joy,
warm enough to soften Ice. "YOu're
looking so splendidly well, too; it's a
wonder | knew you. L wouldn't

smiled first. But, dear me, what a
dreadful long time it's been since saw

"Oh mercy, move left there three
months ago and moved to Hamilton.

"We're in Lawrenceburg now, and

How smith Lost n Case.

The court and jury, as well as
spectators, generally enjoy the scene
when a lawyer, in an attempt to brow
/ beat witness. comes off second best in
the encounter. \ correspondent re-
calls an amusing incident of this sort,
which happened few years ago in al
Albany court room.
The plaintiff, who was lady, was
called to testify. She got on very well
and made q favorable impression on the
jury under the guidance of her coun-
sci, Hon. Lyman Tremain, until the
opposing counsel, Hon. Henry Smith,
subjected her TO sharp cross-eXamin-
alton. This SO confused her that she
fell to the floor in 4 swcOn.
OF coC rse, this excited general SYM
pathy In the audience, and Mr.. smith
saw that his case looked badly.
An expedient sugsestes itself by
which to make the swoOning appear
like a piece of stage trickery, and thus
destroy sympathy for her. The lady :
face in swooning had turned purple
red, and this fact suggested the new
line of attack. The next witness was u
middle aged lady. The counsel asked: :
Did ysu see the plaintiff faint q
short time ago!"
"Yes, SIR"
"People turn pale when they faint,
don't they?"
/ 4 great sensation in the court, and
evident confusion OF witness. But in
a moment she answered, "NO, not al
ways"
"Did you ever hear OF 4 case of faint
ing where the party did not turn pale 2"
eyes, sir"
"When?'
"About year ago"
"Where was it?''
| ''In this city,"
"WhO was it?"
BY this time the excitement was so
intense that everybody listened anX-
iously for the reply. 1t came promptly
with twinkle i'll the Witnesses eye,
as if from suppressed humOr:
"'Twas negro, SIR"

"EObin Ad3ir." "

The hero of robin Adair" was well
known in the London fashionable cir
cleS of the last century by the sobriquet
of the Fortunate Irishman;" but his
parentage and the exact place of his
birth are unknown. lie was brought
up as q surgeon, but detection in an
early amour drove him precipitately
from Dublin" 10 push his fortunes in
England. Scarcely had he crossed the
channel when the chain of lucky events
tune commenced. Near IIolyhead, per-
ceiving 4 carriage overturned, lie ran
10 render assistance. The sole Occu-
pant Of this vehicle was "'lady of fash
ion, weiI-known in polite circles, who
received Adair's attentions with thanks.
and, being slightly hurt, and, hearing
that he was surgeon, requested him
to travel with her in her carriage to
London. On their arrival in the me-
trOpOlis she presented him with fee
of 100 guineas, and gave him a general
. llNlA1lIOl u litl 4ObSt.
Adair used TO say that it was not so
much the amount of his fee, but the
time it was given, that was of service
to him, rs he was then almost destitute.
But the invitation to her house was Il
still greater service for there he met
the person who decided his fate in life.
This was Lady Caroline keppel, daugh-
ter of the second Earl of Albemarle AMI
OF Lady Ann Lennox, daughter of the
first Duke of Richmond. Forgetting
her high lineage, Lady Caroline, at the
first sight of the Irish surgeon fell des-
perateiy in love with hilh, and her emo
tions were so sudden and violent as to
attract the general attention of the CON-
paby. Adair, perceiving his advantage,
lost no time in pursuing il; while the
Albemarle and Richmond families were
dismaye6 at the prospect of such ter
ribIe mesallidnee. Every means were
tried TO induce the young lady to alter
her mind, but without effect. Adair':

clusters of Nuseatel grapes. Having
partaken the genial hospitality of our
host and hostess, we walked across the

selves in vehicle of basket-wOrk fixed
on runners with a cushioned seat for

During Mr.. AudubOn's life in Hen

there two or three months at 4 visit.
Upon one occasion he followed 4 hawk
peculiar 10 this country, and, so anX-
ious was he To become the pOssessor of
the bid, ne pursued it two or three
days, finally succeeding in killing it. He
was never known to stop for streams OF
any kind; he would swim rivers or
creeks in pursuit OF any game or bird
he might be in search of. At one time
lie watched flicker, or what is COM
monty known rs yellow hammer, un-
til he SAW it so in hole near the top
Of an old tree. He Immediately climb
ed the tree, and, running his hand into
the hole 10 get the bird, caught hold of
Il large black snake. Pulling it out of
the hole, and seeing what it was he i'm
medlately let 90 aud he and the snake
both fell to the ground. MI. Audubon
used TO tell this story, with 4 good deal
OF humor to the many who often Won

purs ait of this great study.
