However. the Judge told me that
should have a chance to prove my good
character and establish my innocence;
and with that not very comforting assur-
ance was sent back to prison.
Il was thinking over my situation,
IN extremely low spirits; wondering how
long before could get bail, and whether
should ever be able to prove my inno-
cence of the crime was charged with,
when, TO my great surprise. was told
that a visitor wished to speak with me.
% IL was the man whose pocket had
picked. His name was Charles Merritt,
and he was n farmer in West Newton.
Yet when he looked through my grated
door with his hat on, / was startled, he
really, ut the first glance, resembled so
much the other Charlay who was the
unconscious cause of my misfortune.
He had been discharged on the pay
ment of small fine, but could not leave
the city, he said, without seeing me.
1.-THE more ] think of il, said he,
the more i am inclined to believe that
you got into your scrape by trying to
help me out of mine. OF course, don't
know but what you are lying about it,
he added. with manly frankness; but
you don't look like pick pocket, and if
You are telling the truth, I'm not the
fellow to let you suffer for doing me a
kind action
don't know what YOU can do, !
replied. since YOU are not the right
Charley, and can't swear that my in
tentions toward you were friendly
Well, you'll see, he said, cheerily.
And, having taken the address of my
friends, he left me.
This visit cheered me ND a little.
But as the hours dragged by and did
not hear from him or any of INV friends,
L began TO grow once more Respondent.
'' IL was well along in the afternoon,
and the court had already adjourned.
when an officer came to tell me that /
was wanted, and to my great jov. was
taken in TO private hearing before the
Judge.
"My Joy was increased when saw
my brother-in-law in the room, and two
other men knew-the two Charleses.
in short: Charles Merritt and Charles
Dibbin standing side by side.
They did not look very much alike
when seen thus together; but when the
Judge told them to put their hats on,
and they did so-brown crush-hats, with
wonderfully similar slouch-the re-
semblance they suddenly bore to each
other was surprising.
=" To the Judge, who knew neither
of them well, it was more striking even
than it was to me. Near enough alike
for the two Dromiosl he exclaimed,
good-humoredly. Then turning to me,
he said:
81 congratulate YOU. Mr. Patterson.
not only on being an honest man. but
what is quite as important in our imper-
feet human courts, that you are able to
prove it.
81 thanked him joyfully. and my
friends, too. for coming TO nv rescue.
Ii seemed that Charles Merritt had lost
no time in visiting Framineham, hunt
ing up my relatives. and then going
with my brother-in-law to find the Other
Charley; the right Charley, and bring
him to Boston. -. T. TTOW6ridgc, In

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Oats and barley should be rolled
when they are three or four inches high,
especially if the weather is very warm
and dry. The roller checks the too
rapid growth caused by the warm
weather and promotes tillering at the
roots.-Ezchdnge.

During the past three years have been great

For Contempt Of Court.

A crusty old lawyer once, relates a
writer in the Philadelphia Record, ruled
the bar in an Indiana town for years
with a rod of iron. He was a man of
ability, originality and high attain
ments; and partially out of respect for
his real worth and partly because he
was ugly when crossed, the bar and
bench were content to let him have his
own way. But at last there came to that
;Own for the first time a young United
States District Judge who was known
20 have good deal of will of his own.
and every one was curious to see how
ne and old Judge Complete would get
along. The latter had the first case on
The docket when the court opened, and
at once began ponderous argument
with view to Overawing the young
Judge. But before he had gone far he
was interrupted with: Judge Com
plete. you needn't pursue this line of
argument any further. You know that
it is not the law" The startled old
counselor could hardly believe his own
ears. 'What did you say, sirp" he
asked, sharply. ~ said," repeated the
young Judge, unabashed, THAT YOU
need go no further on that line of argu-
ment; that you were not stating the law
as it is" "Well, sir; well, sir" and the
old gentleman, taking off his eyeglasses
nervously, perhaps your honor knows
the law better than do;" and then in a
more insolent tone, ''your long expe-
rience no doubt enables you to speak"
mfr. Clerk" said the new District
Judge, quietly, ''enter up a fine of
twenty-five dollars against Judge Com
plete for contempt of COURT" and Judge
Complete, routed for the first time in
many years, sat down in a daze. 1t was
a wholesome lesson, not only to him
but to his brethren of the bar. The
man who taught it was Walter Q.
Gresham, now Postmaster-G General of
the United States.

ART LECTURES-THh WORLDS
TEN GREAT PICTURES.

Mrs. Kate E. Wheeler closed her
course of lectures on "The Worlds
Ten Great Pictures" on Saturday even
last. in the parlors of Hon. z. G. Sim
mons on Prairie avenue. These lee
lures were commenced last fall, devot-
ing one lecture to each picture, but by
request they were each subsequently
twice repeated, which fact is evidence
of their popularity. Lectures of this
kind can hardly fail of having refining
and elevating influence. These lectures
should now be followed by those of
another character. A course of lee
lures on the now prominent and leading
statesmen of Europe would be highly
instructive, imparting information
which, in the present condition of the
worlds progress, is important to be
understood. There are great minds
in Europe which shape the destiny
of nations. In the United States the
public journals of the day familiarize
the people with our leading statesmen.
and there is no lack of means for &C
quainting every reader in respect to
them.
The following is the list of the
worlds ten great pictures, which were
made the text of Mrs. Wheeler's lee
lures: Last. Supper" by Leonardo
Vinci; "Last Judgment" by Michael
Angelo; TRANSPORTATION" byRaphael
Assumption" by Titan" The I'm.
maculate Conception" by Murilloi
|"The Holy Night, or Nativity of the
Birth of Christ" by Correggio; Ode
scent from the Cross" by Rubens
