A SINGULAR CASE.

"Come up to our house." said the matron

To her Cousin Ned. "there's a young girl
there,
So very pretty, SO very sweet,
I'm really anxious that you should meet,

II don't like girls" said the bashful Ned,
With very positive shake of the head.
Twas useless to coax. for It well was known
The youth had powerful Will of his own.
And where girls were concerned he was hard

And in their company i'll at ease.
so the days went by with his vow unbroken,
And never word unto Grace he'd spoken.
Never jot had acquaintance sped;
For Il don't like girls" said the bashful Ned.
But all the same he had cast his eye
Un the charming Grace ~ she passed him by
In all tho beauty OF innocence,
without shadow Of van pretence.
AND before he knew II his heart was fired
With love; her graces his soul inspired
And this notwithstanding he had said
He didn't like girlsl The deceitful Ned!
Wen, he didn't like girls in the plural sense:
But ne loved this one with love intense.
Ana u was not long ere he found excuse,
10 enter the house with Tag of truce;
AND never lover than he was holder,
FOR before the year was very much older
He had, IN truth, taken heart of Grace,
And told bis love with unblushing face.
He didn't like girls in q general way;
She didn't like BOYS, she'd been heard to say:
But they proved that their love was true and
strong
As soon as the right one came along.
Dearer than sister, fonder than brother,

Why . Detroit Lawyer and . Countr,
; Justice Went Light on Jack.
There was an assault and battery
case before a county justice not many
miles from Detroit the other day. and
the plaintiff came to the city and en-
gagged an attorney of his acquaintance
TO represent him. The lawyer told him
he had a straight case and couldn't
help but win it, and on the day of the
suit he got horse and buggy and
drove out. Three or four miles from
his objective point he was stopped by a
farmer, who asked:
"Be you that Detroit lawyer?''
"Yes."
well, let me give you hint. The
defendant is Jack -, and he's raw
Their a bad man. When you como to
sum up be q leetle careful what YOU
say"
The lawyer had gone another mile
when he was accosted by man who
sat by the roadside waiting for him:
"Be you that Detroit lawyer?'
Yes"
well. be leetle careful what Won
say about Jack - in court. Jack has
a bad way of gittin' even with folks -
A mile from the town he met two
men. one of whom asked:
BE you that lawyer from DetroitP"
"Yes."

s'poseP'
"Yes."
Then be keerful what you say about
him. He's allus loaded fur bar"
He drove on to the Office of the lust
ice, and constable welcomed him and
said:
II 'spose you'll pitch into Jack
more or less. I'll lend you a revolver,
and you'd better hire man to take that
rig back to Detroit and you go home
ON the cars. Don't give me away, and
don't neglect nv advice"
When the justice came in he gave
the attorney a cordial greeting. and
added:
''After the trial is over you'd better
stay right here in the Office until a con-
stable can smnggle you out into the
woods. ! don't want nothing to hap
pen you"
When the case opened the Detroit
lawyer surprised the crowd BY advising
his client to leave every thing to his
Honor, and his Honor discharged the
prisoner with the remark:
Seems like = case of temporary in
sanity and the costs will be divided ~

of Mr.. Perry and John Parks, of Claib'

mound where his negroes were Ilow-
ing a huge image of a bull frog which
was cut from white limestone and was
a fine piece of sculpture, being an tx
act representation of a frog. 1t was
about twelve inches from head to foot
and stands about eight inches high.
He at first thought it was an idol or
something of that kind, but wash
ing the dirt from it he discovered.
that it was a pipe, the bowl and stem
being from the top and rear and Was
large enough to hold two ounces OF fine
cut tobacco. 1t was taken to his house
and was used as a weight to hold open
the house door, which duty it has per-
formed for over fifty years. During
the epidemic of 1878, when the house
was full of refugees, several OF the
boys inserted a large cork through the
stem and through the cork run small
cane stems, four or feet in length. They
would I'LL up the bowl with tobacco
and each get his stem, and laying on
