/ A WITTY JUDGE.

Readers Of Shakespeare shave slways
enjoyed the wit Of Portia in the "Mer-
chant Of Venice" by which she saved
Antonio from the knife of Shylock. The
pretended Judge affirmed the right OF
shylock to his pound Of flesh, but added,
should drop of blood be shed in taking
it, his life would be forfeited. "A Cali

A hard character, well-known as a
thief, was indicted for entering mip-
ers tent and stealing bag Of gold dust.
The theft was proved. He had been
seen to cut q slit in the tent and reach
in and take the bag. A bright thought
occurred to the counsel for the defense.
''Howfar did he get when he took the
dust :" ,z.ra .t,-,.,
''About halfway in, as he reached
over" said thelwitness. Z 81
"May it please your honor" said the
shrewd lawyer,'I shall demand the ac-
quittal Of my client. The Indictment is
not sustained. He did not enter the
tent. Can q man enter o house when

half outV, g" ~. +,
The jury and judge were equal to the
emergency. The verdict Of the jury was
Guilty as to onc-half Of his body, and
not guilty as to the other half" The
sentence Of the Judge was, 'Imprison-
ment for the guilty part, of two years.
The prisoner may leave the othor part
behind or take it with him. The sharp

BEARS AND HORNETS,

Hornets build their nests high up in
the branches of trees, or fastcn them to
rocks out of the reach of harm. But.
cunning IA these insects are, they are
no match for the bear. A boar discovers
hornets nest far ont on u limb too
small TO bear his weight, or high up on
the breast Of rock. IF the former he
climbs the tree, breaks Oft the longest
branch he can get, and, holding it in his
tore-paws, thrashes the nest until It
drops to the ground. Sometimes he
dances or stamps on the limb until the
nest is shaken off. If the nest is ON n
rock, the bear goes up TO the top of the
ledge above it. Then he gathers large
stones pieces of wood and rolls them
down on the side of the rock antil one
strikes the nest and sends it trlmblinr to
the ground below. The horuets seem TO
know what has caused their ruin. and
not one OF them deserts the fallen nest,
Dut all seem to wait tor the appearance
of the bear, when they attack him at
once. "A hornet sting says an old hun
ter is equal to q blow from sledge-
hammer every time, and one hornet'll
knock a bull down. But their bite won't
raise lump as big as a buckshot on a
bar, and the shaggy critter seems to
think it's heap O fun. He'll stand ND

A diverting story, humorously illns-
trative of Prince Jerome Bonapaxte's
proserbial thriftiness, has recently gone
the round Of the Parisian newspapers.
II appears that during the latter part Of
his cousins reignthe Prince became dis
satisfied with his boot maker, and for.
m&lly withdrew his custom from the
artist, who continued, nevertheless, to
orn nament the front Of his shop With the
attractive inscription: "Purveyor to
his Imperial Bigness, the Prince Napo-
leOn." Noticing this delusive announce-
ment one day, - hedrove pest the shop.
Prince jerome sent member Of his
household to the boot-maker with posi-.
tive orders that the inscription should be
forthwith removed. Az, however, he
subsequently found that his commands
had been disregarded, he took legalpr
ceedings against the boot-maker FOR un-
lawful and mendacious advertisement
Of his 1.-THE Prnce's) patronage. The de-
fendant's counsel, In the course Of his
pleading, endeavored in the following
ingenious manner to show cause why his
client should not be compelled to with
draw the offending inscription. arguing
that such decision On the part Of the
court would infallibly rusult in serious
prejudice and loss Of boot-making.
"For," he observed, "hitherto passers-
by whose attention was attracted by the
announcement in question stopped,
entered the shop and bought boots
freely Of my client. And why did they
80? Because they had already said tc
themselves, Prince Nspoleon's boot.
maker That must be good workman;
and an uncommonly cheap one into the
bargain. We win give him trial. Il
you force him to remove the inscription,
the peripatetic pubGcwill certainly infei
that he must have raised his priceA and
viii hurry past his shop with averted
eyes," The boot-maker, it need scarcely
be added, was cast, but one cannot helT
regretting that 90 humorous . plea
shouldhave been disallowed by French
tribunal.
