Capltolian-Advocate.
NE had the pleasure of meet
ar. on yesterday, that well
snoWn worthy planter of the
ssiern section of this parish,
Daniel Morgan, Esq, with whom
ws had a long chat regarding
he farming interests of our fer
iI6 and attractive highland.
iii. Morgan, who is a practical
nan, heartily endorses the sug-
asstions of the Capitolian-Ad-
pcate, concerning the forma-
ion of stock companies for the
purchase of idle lands with a
TieW of selling them on easy
terms to Industrious settlers. He
ecognizes as we do that our
people will never give their lands
away, but that tits very feasible
ID have areas of land designated
on maps, which lands could be
UEfered for sale, at a fair and fix
I'd valuation, and which, in an
quail payments bearing a rea-
sonable interest would be an in
ducement to the immigrant,
Nhile the stockholders would
reap therefrom a remunerative
Income. Mr.. Morgan is so pleas
ed with this proposition that he
ends to ask thereon the views

The National Grange who is ex-
pected here, to deliver a lee

The old and the Y0ung Lawyer.

Alta dinner given a short time ago by
one Of our Judges to brother on the bench
in a neighboring State, one Of the lawyers
present told several stories illustrative of
the crude character Of the men and the
courts in the very early history Of the
State. One quick-witted, but gruff and
wholly uneducated old practitioner found
himself, one day, opposed, in trial before
q Justice who had been educated as me
chanic, BY young lawyer from the East
who having raised pointof law, supported
it by citing numerous authorities from the
rsports If cider States The old lawyer
perceiving that the judge was impressed by
the argument, arose, and going TO the table,
picked UP one Of the books which he eyed
curiously until, turning it over, he saw its
title. when, with eontemptaous curl OF
his Inns he reared out .-@T That u do, young
teller: YOU sit down T Then, holding up
the book 50 that the justice could see the
title. he Indignantly objected to the intro
duction Of hear-say evidence in trial Of
SO much importance He protested that
il was bad enough when a witness under
oath told what he heard another man say,
but il was shameful outrage upon de-
cency to have man read right along out
Of a book, which by It's very title didn't
profess 10 be anything more than mere
report Of something His honor was con
WINGED, and the young lawyer was Obliged
to retire with his story books, thoroughly
discounted.

Beaten by the Undertaker.

Some time ago an Irishman moved from
Chicago to Accomack county, Va. He
was accompanied by his third wife, very
amiable little woman. He tells the follow
ING story about the way in which he didn't
get married once. The local editor does
not vouch for the story but gives it as he
heard it.
ssOch, sure an I've had three wives
but, by the holy St. Patrick, l came near
niver getting Biddy. You see durin' my
second wife's tonne we lived in Chicago on
the third floor of tinement fiat. Over
our heads lived Barney McCarty and ais
wife, the sweetest looking creature ye liver
seen.
aWell, sickness come in the fat. Bar
ney McCarty was took down, and, by my
soul. he was sick man. But, bad luck
to me, my Katie took the disease too, and
we had bad tonne a-up and a-down
the stairs.
zone day my Katie died, and, be my
soul, before we had sher laid out / heard
that Barney had pegged out too. made
a big tonne for the wake-Ive forgotten
how many quarts 1 had, but you can bet
the critter was there. As good wife as
she was, rest her soul, deserved good
funeral.
aWhen we got over the wake bethinks
myself that if Mrs. MeCarty and | had our
partners buried at the same time we could
muster up a bigger procession. Sosure an
I went up the stairs to see Mrs. McCarty.
The poor crature was a sobbin' and snuff
fin. but l managed to quiet her sufficient
to hear my offer. She said it was capital
thing an she'd consolidate the ceremonies
wild pleasure.
ssThe next day we had the funeral. I'll
bet the holy St. Patrick never looked onto
nicer affair an we had. We had them
buried nigh together an the same praist
did up the whole thing.
"While / was weeping, thinks l. poor
Mrs. McCarty must feel bad Shure an
III try to console her. / stepped over to
where she stood, an sails /, Mrs. MeCarty,
and it's sorry am for the likes of We to be
mourning of your swate life away. Shure
now an don't know how I'll comfort ye,
seeing TIM afflicted to, but can't We con-
solidate ourselves ike we did the funeral ?
Shure an here's the praist; he can marry
YOU am me and Wen drown our grief wild
our honeymoon
"Shure an she looked at me as swate as
a peach, ard says Shure, Patrick, an its
kind We are, and its obleeged to We that /
am, but Mr.. Maloney, the undertaken, has
spoken before you; and as he did good
part BY my Barney l believe I'll take him.
oh, BY the saints, thought should die,
but Il didn't and before SIX fortnights /
was married to Biddy here
Nov you see how came very near not
gettin Biddy; if Mrs. McCarty had had
me couldn' a had Biddy"
And he concluded with sigh Of relief:
aShure and its glad / am the undertaken
got her; for her actions amt as purity as her
face. and she's the divil to pay about the
house all the tonne.
