his wind In such manner that well-nigh

lost.
The case Of Tyler ". The Iliberna
Savings bank was pending in one of the city
courts involving the rights TO a certain de-
post OF funds In said bank Tyler was
his own attorney. and Mrs. Foitz was at
torney for the bank. II seems that Tyler,
by a little bit Of sharp practice, was trying
ID ring IN ''cold deck" in the shape OF 1
default that had been enormously dated,
the admission OF which by the Judge upon
the bench would have sent the defendent
out of court. Mrs FOltZ showed up the
matter satisfactorily % The court, aud the
default was promptly set aside. This net
tied Judge Tyler considerably, aud turn
ing 10 the lady counsel he said sharply in
manner luLtuitu 10 nt lHLtustiN liHPiON-
siye, that counsel had better be engaged
in other business" that "a woman'S place
was at home raising her children"
The words were scarcely uttered before
Mrs Foltz rose in her queenly way, and Hash
ing her blue eyes straight into the Judges
fiorid face, she quietly remarked "A wo-
man had better be engaged in almost any
kind of business than in raising such men
as you are SIR
The court commanded order, butin tone
that seemed to appreciate the justice Of
OF the remark, while a number Of lawyers
in court, some OF whose heads Judge Ty-
Ter has held in 'chaucery" on former Occa-
sions, came near exploding with suppress
ed laughter.
The counsel turned white with anger,
and groaned in spirit, but concluded that
it was better to drop the subject then and
there.

While In the lake regions last week,
we called on the aged widow OF David
Robbins Many readers will remember that
David Rohoius was the person who nearly
sixty years ago, lived on Magalloway riv-
er aud was accused OF stealing the child
OF James Wilbur and selling him 10 the
Indians, aud subs, qnentiy Of the murder
OF hunter named llinds OF Milan, y. H.,
and his son. Robbins was arrested for
these crimes apd lodged in Jail al Lancas-
ter, y. H., but broke out the night before
his trial came of. and has never since been
heard from. (0ther accounts say he es-
capped 10 Canada, committed murder
there. and was hung for it, This was
upwards OF fifty years ago. We found
Mrs. Robbins in feeble health and confined
to her bed, but she spoke freely OF her hus-
band and of her firm conviction OF his in
nocence. She said that Robbins always
told her that he was the son OF Baptist
minister in East Machais. Mrs. Robbins
has buried her three daughters, and one
grand daughter with whom she now lives
is the only surviving descendent Of David
Robbins. Mrs. Robbins belongs TO one OF
the good families in Bethel, and after mar
rying Robbins she left good home and
went with him into the wilderness, to
life Of privation and hardship. She was
the first white woman TO settle on the Ma
galloway riyer.-NdiRe Farmer.

THE ROBINS.

They chose their nook. the bonnie birds,
Mid the crab trees perfumed snow;
And her three blue eggs the brown hen laid
In her warm, soft nest meath the blossom,
shade;
| And patient she kept her watch Of love,
And patient her mate TO feed her strove.
But it's oh. and it's oh. for the bonnie birds.
For weary wait they had,
While the hours danced by meath the sweet
spring sky.
And the thickets rank where the thrushes
sank,
And the fields were with cowslips clad.
They haiched the eggs, the bonnie bird',
by one. by two. by three;
And hour by hour each yellow bill
capped wide for the parents toll to lill.
And the robins on swim, untiring wing
Tended each clamorous nesting.
But It's oh. and it's oh. for the bonnie birds
For heavy task was theirs.
As from morn's first light to the fall Of night
still to and fro. on their quest they go.
