Tom Marshall and the Judge.

Tom Marshall vas engaged in the
trial of case in the interior Of Ken
lucky, when a decision Of the judge
struck him as so bad that he rose and
said;
"There never was such a ruling as
that since Pontius Plate presided on
the trial Of Christ
"Mr. Clerk responded the judge,
"6ne Mr.. Marshall $40 for contempt
Of court. .
~ confess, your honor ! continued
Tom, "that what I said was little
hard on Pontius Plate; but it is the
first time in the history of Kentucky
jurisprudence that it is held that to
speak disrespectfully Of Pontius Plate
is disrespect Of the court.
ssMr. Clerk, make the fine $50 for a
continuous contempt said thejudge,
solemnly.
"well, judge Tom added, as you
won all my money last night at poker,

for doing his best in the battle of life.
The story told in Roman history of
the panic that ensucd among the
handsome Roman youths when they
found their enemies were striving to
disfgure their faces, finds its counter
part in everyday life, and it is always
those who think least of themselves
and Of their good looks that are best
able to face the "slings and arrows of
outrageous fortune
Some years ago ugly heroines be-
came the fashion, especially with
female novelists, though it was evi-
dently difficult for them to refrain
from Transforming them into beauties
before the end of the story. IF the
hero were half-decent sort of fellow,
it seemed hard lines to reward him at
the conclusion Of the last chapter with
an ugly bride; and men with fellow
feeling for him utterly refused to con.
form to the fad, and went on making
their heroines as lovely as possible,
until they converted the women writ
ers from the errors Of their ways; and
so ugly heroines are no more in vogue
now in books than they are in real
life. It seems strange that time
should take such delight in marring
beautiful faces with his lines and
wrinkles, while allowing ugly ones to
go comparatively free. It sometimes
happens that those who have been
homely in youth and middle age grow
more attractive as the hair grows gray
and the touch Of time softens the fea-
lures. Then, too, there is no ques-
tion but that the mind exerts beau
tifying effect upon the face, and many
a countenance that has been but
roughly hewed by nature grows,
through the indwelling of noble and
loving thoughts, into a beauty that is
far more impressive than that which
owes its lustre solely to che tender
grace Of youth. If one observes the
faces around one in crowd it will be
found that it is but rarely1a perfect
face is seen; but such is the trans
forming power Of the mind that the
kindling eye, the look Of intelligence
and Of interest, the coming Of asmile
can change the whole expression that
the face wears in repose, so that the
defective features and the ugliness are
forgotten, and we learn to admire the
homely face because Of the soul that
shines through it.-.Sunday Nears.

of Valparaiso, and some Gillian revo-

There were three Gillian men-tf-war in
the harbor. The admiral called on Cap
tain Evans to notify him that If the ref.
ugees were not surrendered his three
ships would follow the Baltimore out of
the harbor and sink her.
Captain Evans ("Fighting Bob'D con-

told them to decide for themselves-for
his part he was ready to protect them
at all hazards. They concluded to re-
main with him, and Captain Evans so
informed the Gillian admiral, adding
that as long as they chose to stay he
would protect them.
VERY WELL" replied the admiral;
your ship will be sunk half an hour
after you leave the harbor."

He had his way, and kept the refu-
