That Settled 1t.

A Georgia justice of the peace had an
important case to come up before him a
few weeks since which involved point
in law, and the best legal talent of the
town was arroyed on both sides. After
all the evidence had been submitted,
one of the lawyers arose and proceeded
to argue the case, when he was inter
ruptcd by the attorney on the other side.
Just at this point the justice, who was
looking out of the window, discovered
a black cloud looming up in the west,
and rising forward he said: "GentIe-
men, you may talk about this case as
much as you please; but I've got to go
homo and set out some potato slips.
When you get through you will find my
decision written ont there, pointing to
a piece of pop,r ON bis desk, rs he

Love and the Mails.

The Memphis AUalancRe tells this
little story: A pretty little romance was
outlined before Judge Hammond on
his recent trip to jackson, where he
held court for about a week. It illus
trates the fact that young love is usually
blind, and that the lover of tender years
is really very daring fellow, who fam
cies himself ike joey b. "Slv, sir,
devilish sly" A handsome and high
spirited young fellow named J. T. Will
Jams has a very pretty sweetheart Iiv-
ing near Jackson, to whom he wished
to send q handsome boquet. The
choicest flowers in the field were secured
by him, and a fragrant and beautiful
bouquet, such as would awaken the ten
derest emotions in a young girls breast,
was the result. He sent the bouquet
through the mails as merchandise or
fourth class matter; but, alas he made
one fatal mistake. Concealed among
the roses he placed q note, which was
written in a way not intended for any
eyes but those of the young lady. The
flowers of course passed through the
hands of Satanic postmaster. Natu-
rally he was attracted by their beauty
and his senses were IulIed by their deli
cious odor. While he was critically ex-
amining FIora's beautiful offerings he
noticed the end of the letter peeping
out from its bed of roses. He pulled it
from its hiding place, opened it and de-
voured its contents. Now, instead Of
keeping the secret with himself, that
diabolical United States official forgot
the romance Of his youth and the care
lessness Of loves young dream, and saw
nothing in the circumstances but a YiO-
latjon Of the postal laws, which provide
that no writing Of any kind shall be sent
with merchandise. Accordingly he had
young Williams arrested, and while
Judge Hammond was in Jackson the
trial came off. 1t is said that the hand
some Federal Judge, who is not without
a touch of romance in his composition,
had a hard time wrestling with the Judi
cial problem before him. This was
something novel in the law, and all his
native sympathies were with the boy.
Williams pleaded guilty, and the Judge
picked out the very lowest fine pre-
scribed by the statute, namely 80, and
imposed it. This is the first instance
on record Of a lover having TO pay fine
for concealing a letter in a bouquet.
Young Williams said he did not mind
paying postage or the ten dollars fine,
but he disliked intensely TO have his
letter read. The case aroused great in
terest in jackson, and the general scnti-
ment there was that President Arthur
ought to bounce that postmaster in.

strange that my nephew should keep his
confidence from one who wheedled

Uncle Joe was gone. I sat aghast;

had L seen him so in earnest. The bit

life was born in me, for, from that hour.

knew myself; and am sure my husband
hardly knew me- Instead Of hating
Uncle Joe, began to feel a real afec-
ton for him.
For a whole year my improvement
held out; and then the trouble was all
gone out Of Albert's eyes and the ab-
sence from his manner. And gradually,
month by month, my husband began to
tell me things in the old pleasant way.
When he found what a revolution had
taken place in my habits, in regard to
what he said, how gladly he
took me once more into his perfect con-
tidence, and accepted me for his faithful
and best friend.

GR4NDlLOTHER'S ADVICE


Tell your sorrows to your pillow"
The world is bright enough, my pet;
Young hearts are light and free from care
And long, lcng may you journey yet
Ere life for you IS hard to bear.
But, when it comes, as come it will,
The slow decay or sudden blow,
Take up your burden and be still,
Nor let the world your sorrow know.
Nigh three-score years and ten have laid
Their pages open to my view;
I've jOurneyed on through light and shade.
And this I've learned and proved it true
That he who sends us grief TO bear
Is near Us i'll our deepest woe;
We never are so much his care
As swhen his hand'hath laid us low.
And so, whenever griefs befau
Still hold them sacred, all your own;
No heart but one can feel for all
The burdens on oUr shoulders thrown.
So, when the friendly darkness falls
And watchful eyes are yelled in sleep,
Bring forth each care with silent pray'r
And give them all to God to keep.

After tOEd.

Notwithstanding that the search fOl
gold has been carried on for thirty years
in the colony of New South Wales, new
fields or new deposits are continually be-
ing discovered, some Of them in Iocali-
ties which were supposed to have been
thoroughly examined Some of the
fields recently discovered promise to
equal in extent and richness any dis
covered in the early days, while the old
est fields, though apparently exhausted,
so far as the miner, unaidcd by capital
and skill, is capable Of exhausting thcm,
yet contain deposits Of gold which will
yield rich harvest to the skilled miner
who shall bring to bear upon them ap-
plianccs such as are being successfully
employed elsewhere. Gold has always
been found in association with certain
formations. and the extent of country
occupied by these is about seventy thou
sand square miles, or nearly one-fourth

Story Of a Tame Fox.

In n number Of the Newcastle COtr-
ant, toward the end of the last century,
there Is a curious story of a tame fox
which had been brought up from a cub
at the White Hart Inn at Bridgwater,
where he had been trained to officiate as
a turnspit. The wild strain breaking
out, he one day escaped, got away to
Sedgmoor, and made sad havoc among
a flock Of geese. A pack of hounds
CHANGING to he out. found him in covert,
and the fox, breaking, led them long
and devious chase, but always making
for the direction Of his old home. He
finally leaped the fence Of his mistrcss's
garden, and, entering the kitchen,
darted to the spit and began to perform
his Office quite unconcernedly. The
cook, with whom he was great IA
vorite, hid him with her pctticOats, at
the same time beating Off the hounds.
But tLis. we are told, "would have been
uuayaIii.g if the hUntsmen had not
whipped them off, and, after a chase of
nearly thirty miles, left this unlicensed
poultercr to lis domestic occupations. "

the story that an old lady recently con-
