Tho Awful Majesty of tho Law.

One Of the officials of Justice Alley, of
Detroit, was the other day called upon by
al old gray-headcd farmer and his wife,
together with q neighbor, and outside the
door they hitchcd an old half-blind horse
whose cash value was reckOned at $25.
'You see," explained the old farmer
"naybur Jones wants to buy the old hoss
out there, but he wants bill O sale signed
by wife and l.. We want you to draw up
one for U.s."
The Justice reached down one of the
printed blanks, filled it out, and then said:
"Ncw you listen while l read this over
and see if it ls all right All ready now:
''Know all men by these presents. That
Presents! Why, I'm not going to pre-
sent him with that hossl" interrupted the
farmer.
''And we don't want any present from
him!" added the wife.
''Thats all right-only a legal form, "
exclaimed his Honor. Listen:
County Waync-frst part--con-
sidcration--sum of -grant--
gain and sell--party- second part
his executors, administrators"
81 haven't got any executors or admins
tratorsl" interrupted neighbor Jones.
'No; all he's got Is wife and two girls!" !"
added the owner of the horse.
"All form-all mere form," explained
the Justice, and lie went on:
'And assigns forever-covenan and
iec-dcfend the same---hcirs, execu-
tors and administrators"
civilian, l shall never sign no such
paperl" suddenly exclaimed the wife as
she rose mp.
''Nor l, eithcrl" stoutly replied the hus-
band. 'Why, I'd shake in my boots every
time l met constahle!'
"lt is all mere form and according to
law, explained his Homer. "All bills of
sale read this way"
Looks to me as if it was sort O tangled
up, said neighbor Jones. '"rhe old hoss
is blind in one eye, and how can they war
rant him?"
"And what has this hoss-sale got to do
with his heirs and covenants?" inquired the
old man,
II won't sign-I won't have thing to
do with It'll" exclaimed the wife, as she
walked around. "We've always kept clear
of the law, and we amt going to get into
no scrape and lose our farm now-not ii
We know it'll"
- Tho more the justice tried to explain the
bigger the words looked, and the trio finally
walked out. While they were unhitching
the horse along came house painter, and
when he had heard their story he picked up
piece of paper in tho alley, pulled out
stub of pencil, and wrote,
"We hereby sell this horse to Jonn Jones
for $25, cash down. We raised him from
a colt, and his name is Andrew Jackson.
"(SigneD -
The PAPER was sirned passo1 over with
The news and herald. (Winnsboro, S.C.) 1877-1900, 1880-04-06

The paper was signed, passed over with
the horse, and as the farmer received the
money he said:
''That's oil there is to it, law or no law,
and 1t didn't take two minutes. Why, I'd
have taken Andrew jackson back home
and knocked him in the head afore I'd put
my namc to that paper binding us to keep
On covenanting and agreeing aid assigning
and administering whole lifetime on one
old hoss!"

dreamed of sea of silv'ry light,
And thousand souls were there,
And on the faces of ghastly whito
read the single word, despair.
There were young and old together,
on that CLASSY, silv'ry sheet,
Aud could hear the wall of voices
Reaching me In my sleep.
And then |, too, was there, struggling
With the waves that held me fast,
TIL exhausted, cried, I'm sinking
As the breakers around me dashed.
Aud raised my eyes once more,
For single CLEAN OF hope;
1spied across, near the shore,
A bOatman with q gitterlng robe.
His glorious face looked pale,
As he hastencd To gain my side;
] eagerly watched the sail,
still fearing the rushing tide.
And as the bark drew near, light
From tie crown of the boatman pale,
Shed o'er the sea lustre bright,
That cleaned on the snow.white seal,
And there read In jewels and gold
Enter all that have faith. for so
Are clcansed by the blood that flowed
From His side on Calvary"
And crouched ut the side of my Saviour,
AS l entered the beautiful bark;
He gazing at me kindly, smiled
Aud brought rest to my weary heart.
And peaceful calm stole DER me,
AS ] listened TO the dip of OF the oar,
That kept time with the voices of angels.
That pcalcd from the heavenly shore.
Aud Iawoke with the sound OF sweetmusic,
Such nS on earth never shall hear,
And wished ] had dreamed forever,
And was free from sorrow aud fear.
