| when | was young practitioner" said
Mr. Webster, there was but one man al

| afraid, and that was old Barnaby There
| were nut few men who cared to enter the lists
with HIM. On one occasion Barnaby was
| employed TO defend suit for piece of land
brought by little grabbed, cunning lawyer
| called Bruce. .Bruces case was looked upon
| as good as lost when it was ascertained that
Barnaby was retained against him.
The suit came on for trial, and Barnaby
| found that Bruce had worked hard and lett
no stone unturned to gain the victory The
| testimony for the plaintiff was very strong.
and unless it could be impeached the case of
ness introduced by the plaintiff wore red
coat In summing up for the defence old
Barnaby commenced furious attack on this
witness, pulling his testimony all to pieces,
and appealing to the jury ifa man who wore
a red coat was, under any circumstances, to
be believed. And who is the relocated
witness ?" exclaimed Barnaby, "but descend
ant of our common enemy, who has strven
to take from us our liberty, and would not
hesitate now to deprive my poor client OF
his land by making any sort of red coated
statement? ?"
During this speech Bruce was walking up
and down the bar, greatly excited, and con-
vinced that bis case was gone, knowing as
he did the prejudice of the jury against any
thing British. Whilst, however, Barnaby
was geslicuating and leaning forward to
the jury in his eloquent appeal, his shirt
bosom opened slightly and Bruce accident
ally discovered that Barnaby wore red
undcr-shrt. Bruces countenance frightened
up. Putting both hands in his coat pockets,
he walked the bar with great confidence, to
the establishment of his client and all lockers
on.
Just as Barnaby concluded Bruce whisper

he commenced his reply to the Strengthening

devotion to the country, and his character

what are you to expect of man who stands
here to defend a cause based on no founda-
ton of right or justice whatever, of "a man
who undertakes to destroy our testimony on
the ground that my witness wears a red coat,

made spring and catching Barnaby by the
bosom of the shirt, tore it open, displaying his

beaten at his own game, and Bruce gained
the cause"

Plantation Philosophy.

Ifyou expect to be happy we must be busy;
it is better to hunt up hornets nest, and
fight that, than to be out of Il job; no idle
man ever was happy, and but few idle men
are innocent long.
Mirth is short-lived; cheerfulness never
tires.
1t never was intended that man should be
perfect on earth the great thing is, not
never TO miss the bull's-eye-but to get a lit
tic nearer to it every time.
Those who mould and move most the minds
and actions of men are seldom seen. They
never head the procession.
Rheumatism, like many other things, is
easy enough to cure in some one else; but
when we undertake to cure our own, then
business begins.
My dear youth, if you must take about
yourself, pray don't mention your good luck;
the world doesn't care to listen to such
things.
You may put the world down as mob of
FOOLS but don't forget this; it takes a smart
man to beat them.
No man ever did a polite thing yet with
out feeling little prouder for it.
Justice ought to be as cheap as the dew,
but half the time it costs more to get it than
1t is worth
