"Parson Timothy" said the Judge to
colored man who had just been ar
raigned, "you are charged with stealing
Deacon 1hompson's wife. / have known
you for years, and had always considered
you an upright man. And now, sir, that
you are arraigned on so terrible q charge,
with such overwhelming proof against
you, must confess that my faith in the
colored part of humanity is greatly
shaken by severe chill from the dark
swamps of deception. AS you expect
one day to be arraigned befole Bar
from which there is no appeal, tell me,
are you guilty? Did you run away with
Deacon Thompson's wife ?"
"Jedge," replied Timothy, after sew
eral minutes reflection, " it would take
me some time to splain dis matter ter de
satisfaction OBJ de Court But I'll try.

IN de family. Arter studyin' de aues-
tlon sebera days I was inspired to re.
move oman. De impulse was so
strong dat I couldn't shake it off. Af-
/ fairs grew wusser an wusser. At last I
went ober ter de deacon's house an re-
moved de oman"
The Prosecuting Attorney then read
several affectionate letters that had been
written by the prisoner.
Judge" exclaimed the prisoner,
"that Prosecutine Attorney is a fool,
an I owe the witness ten cents for
board. (Sensation in the Courtroom !.
I was inspired to remove the woman"

counsel for defense.
''I should remark" answered the
prisoner. 81 flung hatchet at ole

my head agin beech tree till it throbbed
like a stone-bruise. I is a high-toned
