A Good Story,

In the village Of W lived man
who had once been judge of the county,
and was known all over it by the name
OF Judge i. He kept a store and saw
mill, and was always sure to have the
best of a bargain on his side, by which
means he had gained an ample compe-
teDcy, and some did not hesitate to call
him "the Biggest rascal IN the world. .
He was very conceited withal, and used
to delight to brag of his business capac-
ity whenever any one was near to listen.
One rainy day, IS quite a number were
seated around the stove III the store, he
began, as usual, to tell his great bar
gains, and at last wound up with the
expression, Nobody has ever cheated
me, nor they can't neither"
Judge" said an old man of the COM
pany, GIVE cheated you morn you ever
did me"
GLOW SOP" asked the Judge.
''If you'll promise you won't 90 to
Jaw about it, nor do nothing, I'll tell, or
else | won't; you are too much of law
character for me"
'Let's hear! let's heart" cried half a
dozen voices.
'PIl PROMISE" said the Judge, "and
treat in the bargain.
''Well, do you remember that wagon
you robbed me out of ?"
''L never robbed you out of any wag-
on" exclaimed the Judge; 81 only got
the best of a bargain -
"WeIl, Imade up my mind to have it
back, and"
''You never did, !" interrupted the cute
judge.
"WelI, you see, judge, sold you one
day a very nice pine log, and bargained
with you for a lot more. Well, that log
[ stole off your pile, down by your mill,
the night before, and the next day I sold
1t to you. The next night [ drew 1t back
home, and sold it to you the next day;
and SO kept on until you bought your
own log of me twenty seven times"
''That is falser' exclaimed the infu-
rated Judge, running to the books and
examining his log accounts; 'syou never
sold us twenty. seven logs Of the same
measurement"
ST know it, said the vender in logs;
SHY drawing it back and forth the ends
wore off until it was only ten feet long =
just fourteen shorter than it was the
first time I brought it-and when it got
SO short I drew it home again and
worked it up into shingles, and then [
concluded had got my wagon back and
slowed away in my pocketbook.
The exclamation of the Judge was
drowned IN the shouts of the bystand-
ers, and the log-drawer found the door
without the promised treat. And to see
man mad you have only to aek the
Judge if he ever was robbed.

BY JAMES R. LOWELL,

Looks through the sidelight of the doors
I hear him with his brethren swear,
As I could debut only more.
Flattening his nose against the pane,
He envies me my brilliant lot.
Breathes on his aching fists n vain,
Ana dooms me to place more hot.
He sees me in tosupper 60,
A silken wonder by my side,
Bare arms, bare shoulders, and a row
Of flounces. for the door too wide.
He thinks how happy is my arm
Meath its white gloved and jeweled load:
And wishes me some dreadful harm,
Hearing the Llerry corks explode.
Meanwhile [ inIy curse the bore,
OF hunting still the same old coon;
And envy him. outside the door,
In golden quiets of the moon.
The winter wind is not so cold
AS the bright smile he sees me win,
Nor the hosts oldest wine so old
As our poor gabble, sour and thin.
[ envy him the ungyved prance
BY which his freezing feet he warns,
And drag my lady'E chains and dance,
The galley slave of dreary forms.
Oh, could he have my share of din,
And I his quiet-past doubt,
Twould still be one man bored within,
And just another bored without.

esting fracas occurred yesterday in front
Of the National Hotel, in which Barney
Aaron, the famous pugilist. figured in the
role Of defender Of youth and innocence.
II seems that young couple from tho
backwoods Of Virginia arrived yesterday
for the purpose Of being united in matri-
mohy, and prior to visiting the minister,
being somewhat travel stained, decided 10
spruce up. Leaving the young lady in
the hotel the youthful swain stepped out
to have his shoes polished, he carrying
the CATERS Of his prospective bride in his
hand. While bargaining with a boot
black his country appearance attracted
the attention Of a couple Of young dudes,
who thought II a fine opportunity to dis
play their wit and gentlenlanhness by
Kidding him. They amused themselves
by vulgar rudeness at the young country
mans expense, until quiet looking gen.
tleman Stepped up and demonstrated with
them. Turning on him they applied sev.
eral insulting epithets, and one drew d
silver mounted revolver and threatened
the stranger with it. The latter Set out
with his left, and knocking the dude out
in the first round, took his pistol away
from him and turned him ever 10 police
