.\t a late criminal trial both jndi^eand counsel had 

 a deal of trouble to make the liiniil witnesses speak 

 sulticicntly loud to be lieard by the jury, and it is 

 possible that the temper of the counsel may tlierehy 

 have been turned from tlie even tenor of its way. Af- 

 ter this irentleman had cone tlirouffh the various 

 stages of bar pleadinsr, and had coaxed, threatened 

 and even bullied witnesses, tliere was called into the 

 box a youiifc hostler, who ajipeareil to be simplicity 

 personified. " Now, sir," said the counsel, in a tone 

 that would at any other time have been denoimced as 

 vulirarly loud, ''I Iiope we sliall liave no difliculty in 

 making you speak out." " I hope not, sir," was 

 shouted, or rather bellowed, out by the witness, in 

 tones which almost shook the building, and would 

 certainly liave alarmed any timid or nervous lady. 

 " How dare you speak in that way, sir?" demanded 

 the counsel. '' Please, sur, I can't speak any louder," 

 said the astonished witness, attempting to speak 

 louder than before, evidently thinking the fault to be 

 in bis speaking too softly. "Pray, have you been 

 drinking this morning T* shouted the counsel, who 

 had now thorough[y lost the last remnant of his tem- 

 per. " Yes, sur," was the reply. " And what have 

 you been drinking ?" "Coffee, sur." "And what 

 did you have in your coffee, sir?" yelled the exasper- 

 ated counsel. " A spune, sur," iimoeently bawled 

 the witness, in his highest key, amid the roars of the 

 whole court — excepting oidy the now thoroughly 

 wild counsel, who flung down his brief and rushed 

 out of court. 



We have always understood that love laughs at 

 locksmiths, but we are hardly prepared to- believe 

 that Cui)id was such an ingenious young fellow as 

 the following anecdote shows him to be : A fellow 

 out West was courting a pretty girl, but her mother 

 would not permit him to stay after ten o'clock, 

 greatly to his and her daughter's disgtist. Last 

 New-Year's day that young man i)resented the old 

 lady a patent clock of great beauty aiul iiigeimity. 

 The prospective mother-in-law was greatly pleased, 

 and gave her old ti(-ker to a pool- woman who lived in 

 the neighborhood. Now that young eou])le arc happy, 

 for tili^ new clock is so constructed that it will lose 

 three hours bctwei'ii eiglit and tciiintlie evening, and 

 make it up all right bel\)re morning. The old lady 

 watches the clock carefully, ami cries, " Ahem !" as 

 usual when it gets to be ten. And yet, she says she 

 can't iniilcrstand what makes her get so sleepy be- 

 fore ten, and hale to get up so bad the next morning. 



Arconiiixti to a Cape of Good Hope pajier, a 

 "good-for-nothing wretch " was brought up before 

 the magistrate on a charge of druid<enncss. The 

 evidence showed that he had been tipsy for a week, 

 and he was asked what he liad t(t say for himself. 

 "Well, yer honor," he replicil, "me ami my oUl 

 woman never did live easy togetlicr." "Tliat's no 

 excuse for your getting druidc," said the Court. 

 "You're right, your honor, and so it ain't," was the 

 answer. " We u.scd to fight like eats ami dogs to- 

 gether.'' " Drinking made it worse," remarked the 

 magistrate. "That's true," rejoined the man. "She 

 discouraged the life out of me, and kept me jnior, un- 

 til last week, when — " "Well, what did she do 

 last week?" "She died, yer honor." "And you 

 have been drunk ever since?" "Yes, yer honor; I 

 never could bear prosperity." 



.\n Irish clergyman once broke off the thread of 



his discourse, and thus addressed the congregation : 

 " .My dear brelhren. let me tell you that I am now 

 just half through my sirmoii ; but as I perceive your 

 impatience, I will say that the remaining half is not 

 more than a quarter us long as that youhave heard." 



TiTF.JiE is a lady who will not permit her children 

 to eat anything of which Indian meal constitutes an 

 ingredicnl, for fear it will make them savage. She 

 must lie the same lady w1m» would not let her <'hil- 

 dreu eat spinach, for f'ear it would make them green.
