KINKEY-HAIRED JUSTICE.

Old Nelse Patmore was elected justice of
the peace. He could neither read nor write,
but his friends assured MIN that such accom-
plishments were merely side issues. One day
Jack Maine sued the commonwealth for false
imprisonment. He employed excellent legal
counsel and every one thought he would sure
~ gain his case. When the case came up for
trial. the Judge said:

4th section makes the president and all O. 5.
officers subject to impeachment.
The Judicial department occupies the fourth
article, with three sections. The first gives
the courts, their term of office. and salary.
The second is by far the most important, as it
gives the jurisdiction of the federal courts.
This jurisdiction is three-fold: l. Cases un-
der the U. S. Constitution, laws. or treaties.
= Foreign officers, or maritime. .. Where
different states, domestic or foreign, are in

penalty of treason.
The last four articles are miscellaneous in
their character The fourth contains pro-
visions covering the relations of the states,
and has four sections. The first authenticates
the records of one state in another. The sec

civil rights in another, and makes provision

The throned monarch better than his crown;
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy Ia above this sceptred sway,-
1t Is enthroned In the hearts of kings,
1t is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God .

Ties OF love must vet lie broken,
And the last farewell be spoken,
Every day.
We can see the sad:and dreary.
Meet the buraeued on.= and weary,
Hear the sound of sorrow quaklng,
Wrung from hearts with anguish aching,
For the hearts of some are breaking,
Every aay.
Let our kindly aid be given,
Every day;
To those who are tempest driven,
Every day;
Words Of hope for the despairing.
And their troubles gladly sharing,
Give our souls Il higher beaiinG,

Let US strive to be forgving;

Let our words be kind and loving,

Let lie seeds oil God be sowing.

Sometimes a chilli will ind a little grain,
And, charmed with its live colors, run in
haste
TO plant it In pot of porcelain.
With dragons blue anu flowers fantastic
chased.
He goes. The root strikes snake-like either
side,
Comes up from earth huge tree siraightway
Daily its fbrous feet plunge further wide,
Until the vessel shivers on a day.
The child returns. He sees, all-marveing,
The sword-liks plant wave DER the broken
pot;
He fain would tear it up; the strong stems cling
Thus love has budded in my wondering heart,
