" ' v The fairy being now asleep, Sinus, in the first place, looked about the cave to ascertain what means of escape he could make use of. There was no door, there were ho windows ; he found that he was boxed up in a perfect cube with Eorsnatza. - While he was looking about, he heard the cracking of a whip, and, what .was worse, he felt its thong upon his shoulders.--He could not see by whom it was applied, and as he still felt it incessantly, he supposed that hm mint hn a hint from the old fairy, who ae- COme, 1 , r i nn hiadtKirenfte in cook- la a few days; highly disagreeable-, and as the r i uhrin.hAWlTeatotrvwheth. dtad dogt wtre netw carried away, the prince's r nfnot imother the old woman. Seve- awr- dinner dutr was to burr them. He had tq 4lS taph grate with bit knife, and fprk, and afsr a while it became seoessary to in tit pa dsad one over the other. This is a worn MOO of boriai than any dogdeserves. iTha Emperor Peter, at the aame time, very SQ surprised, his subjects -by shining out 3g tbe in the new llffttof dog fancier. TbSte of tba iUostrious Prince waa a State 4cret. It was knows that the Emperor's yard Jo h4 two riba broken: that was at once knotrn, because every part of a nation must be alwy interested in tb health of any member ef tpttoyal family. It was known that tb Emperor bought np all the large and strong dog :wbih were brought befcre him ; and thai after, they had once been purchased, they were no more seed. It was said at the dubs, andbelifved in well informed coteries, that the Emperor Peter was making researches. In or der that h might beoome skilled in the treat inent of hts wounded favorite. That his high migtiness the Prince ef Candia was shut up in hie prisons the emperor did not wish any one to know or to suppose. Peter was to his. em Eimasa wife, or husband, quite tyrannical at ome, blander than milk abroad. Candia was ,f-'i . Y. t.'ll L.IJ Si S peweriui Kingaom. xi anj enwu oeiu uui iu fingers, it might tweak the emperor's nose, but if it looked alarmed about the blackness of bis beard and the bigness of his whiskers, it would hav at once the thrashing it deseived. His imperial highness, like a prudent statesman, ptced bis quarrels ; by Which I mean, that whnever he thought it safe to be indignant, thetii indeed it was no laughing matter to create occasion of offence. : i - The emperor's daughter lived in four cham bers of the fialace, out of which she had never beep allowed to pass. No tutors had been suf fered to approach her, and her handmaidens - er m . i . nao Deen cnosen irom among tne most uniev terad women of the city. ; The Emperor did nototend to have a daughter who would pre sume to cross him with opinions of her own. It was a child's business to obey ; and when one commands unreasonable things, it is really moat vexatious to discover a rank and file of i obstinate disputations, blocking up the path to the jr performance. The Emperor's daughter ' was; destined from her birth to be of great ad- Tankage to her father, by the contracting of - some marriage which would add to his honor ; ane glory. To herself also, suoh a marriage : wonldbe, of course, a great piece of good for- tune. Therefore they had omitted no care wh ich i eouid tend to make her beautiful ; and in spite i of patchings, paintings, herb vapour baths, cos- metics and internal sulphur, she really had be ll come a lovely woman. She was a great fancier of firds ; and because the Emperor's dog had ; killed many of her pigeons, when they alighted 1 innocently near its kennel, she did feel that her geqtle bosom warmed with a sense of joy when tbeofFended stranger broke the ribe of that un flri'endly beast. t The Emperor's dog its name was Towca I suoered severely from the kick it had received. Notwithstanding the great skiB by which the Coart Physician was distinguished, notwith standing all the consultations of the faculty. one morning Towsa died. In the evening, the Pr&ce of Candia was doomed to suffer by the boi-f tring. In the afternoon, however, he was missed from his prison, so that there was nobo- :1 dy to strangle but the jailor.; Nevertheless, it , wa not fair to make the jailor answerable for ' his' prisoner, because, in the days of magic, it j wa unreasonable to expect anybody to be re- bo;nsible for anything. The jailor had sent iii lha Prince's dinner, and. as usual, a W. I HoV was it possible for him to know that, di rectly the dog got inside the prison-door, it I. would be transformed into an elephant, and ,: wopld, tn that shape, swallow up the Prince; jj thai then it would assume the body of a gnat, an fly out of the dungeon window with the said Prince cupboarded snugly in ite belly? gueb were the facts ; it was a kind fairy who i ha played this dog's trick on the Emperor, f Well, but there are also unkind fairies. A morose old creature, named Korspatza, spun a web between the sun and moon, in the centre , of Which she sat like a great spider, ready to catoh the gnat as it flew lightly upward. The SM was entangled in the magio web, and wri mg under the old spider's poison-fang. ; ri'It not my desire to hurt you," said the ; old fairy to the gentle Suiemunda. " Give me , the) Prince of Candia, and I will let you go. If y 00 will not dothavl shall cause the sun's heat to flow into my web, and it shall be to yon .i y wwr mm m nu uuf griairoa. ' ffcusemunda left the Prince in the net, and 1 flair away. f ? be fairy Korspatxa, still wearing her spi t dert dress, then seised the Prince of Candia bl(ween her nippers, and, fixing a thread to ; ohf horn of the moon, let herself down with Wkht CaT" OP0 Burface of the rTbereare some human beings uglier than j apders. The fairy Korspatza did not improve wfPPOManoe when she resumed her proper fans,- and stood before her prisoner. The cave, injts Ulterior, was very clean ; the walls were smooth and highly polished ; so was the floor, om the ceiling. There was no furniture TJAible; a fairy who is fond of tidiness never Vfeouires to have a litter in her house. Kors I patxa stamped upon the floor, and there arose a so upon wbicto she proceeded to recline at ease. She did not knoot nn a n. .i foi Sinus, (that was the prince's name,) but tnrew one of Her shoes into a corner. Imme diately there sprung up where the shoe had fanen, a wood fire and a monkey ; the monkey picked up the shoe, and hastened to replace it on the fairy's foot. Korspatxa delayed him wuue sue puuea-outone or nis eye-teeth, and ral times he endeavored to come near her, but between him and her there seemed to be erect- ed an impenetrable wall, not.to be seen, but to be felt more acutely' than the whip ; it seemed, indeed, to be a judicious compound of the prickly aloe with the terriblsLloasa. fWelV' thought the prince, "I eappose I must begin upon my dog. It has to be skinned certainly, and I am sure that I shall scalp -the creature with the greatest pleasure' Accord ingly he put the dog upon the dresser. The whips Ceased from their labor, and the prince, taking up a knife, began his scalping operations. At the first cut, the dbg began to yell, leaped up, and bit him in the hand. . "This old lady ought to give her cook good wages I" cried Prince Sirius. "Now, what am I to do V In a great rage he took the dog up by the tail, and having given it a good preliminary swine, flung it with much force into the nre. Now. cook yourself 1" he cried. But instant ly the cave was full of smoke ; the smoke gathered into an overhaneine cloud : there was the spectral cow contracting, and the dog bumped aeain upon the floor beside him Prince Sirius put his hands into his pockets, and looked down upon the creature with a spiteful countenance. He felt the whips again upon his back. Aeain he lifted up the dog, and recommenced the scalping. He continued with bis work in spite of all resistance : but he made no progress, because, as he removed the ski A in one place, it began to unite again over the part with which his knite bad last been oc cupied. Sirius chopped off the dog's head. The consequence of this proceeding was, that a new head budded from the headless body, and a new body crew out of the trunkless head. There were now two dogs, who attacked the prince so savagely, and with so terrible a noise, that the fairy was awakened, one turned on one side lazily, and looked towards the prince "1 see, said she. "Well, you may cook me the pair of them." And then she went to sleep again. The prince's hands again dived down into his pockets down to the very bottom. But he cried, "Ah !" and pulled them out again. In a then gave him a rap upon the head, vrhioh snt him through the floor directly. the wood fire filled the room with smoke and set the fairy barking with a cough. Every ortgh, as it resounded against the walls, in steady of' echoing back again, fell to the ground, shaped like a pair of bellows. A heUowsmaker might have made his fortune by extorting the produce of Eorspatxa's coughing fiti Obedient to this hint, Sirius took up one 7T . "u omeuateiy tne others dis appeared. Sinus began to blow the fire, but waV exceedingly annoyed to find that, instead rSlSSTft. Ti f uie' PunVthe bellows batked like half adoien dogs. If the prince Mew quietly, the dogs would only moanif he 2!W..?lt!,v,n07 ?8nal Tieop tb dogs stjmed to be, all six of them, savagely quarrel- together The fairy Korspaia, 'how , jdosed upon her sofa, and did not seem to be at all disturbed by the confusion. Inthe meantime the Are began to blaxe. and aJlAe moke wUh which tha cav, had prtri. ;ously beea filled, collected into a small dense near the wUing; itparted into a shlpe, ahot out four prolongations like the Tour legiof a spectral cow. ud then a fifth, like a short, curly tail ; gradually it condensed took fona'more and more distinct, til t larta corner of one of them, he had discovered some thing of which he had until now been wholly unaware. Together with his knife, his purse, the tip of a tongue, some string, some stick-pep- j permint, and a bunch of keys, there was a some thing three-cornered. It proved to be a small note of pink paper, and directed, in a lady's writting, To the Prince of Sirius. He opened it and read it : "My dear Prince, I do not sacrifice you sel fishly. I know what that toretch K. will do. You will find this note from your friend, and we shall both escape. If you draw the dog's eye tooth and put the monkey's in its place, all will be well. You can escape with the fcones of the goose. Ever yours, Sczehcnda. Sirius was delighted for a minute, although he; was puzzled by the allusion to a goose. Then he remembered that there were now two dogs. Suzemunda had not calculated upon that. However, the prince did all that could be done faithfully drew the tooth of one dog, and put the monkey's tooth into the empty socket. Then he felt no more whips upon his back ;the knives and forks, and plates upon the dresser began to labour of their own accord. The Other dog waa attacked straightway by a set of table- knives, who chopped him up into small pieces, put him into a stew-pan, and called an iron hook to take him to the fire. The first dog was more delicately dealt with ; carefully trussed and spitted. As it turned before the fire, its outline melted into a new form : and before the fairy was awake, the whole of the processes of cooke ry were ended. Before the fire were two dish es ; one of them contained a beautiful roast goose ; in the other was a rich and fragrant stew. The kitchen utensils then all darted up towards tne ceinng, wnere mey ran togetner in too torm of a huge dinner-bell. On this there rang a noisy peal, while the dresser below changed into a well-furnished dining-table. Then the fairy yawned, and stretched herself, and sat up on the sofa. " Supper is ready," said the prince. " Dear me, and so it is !" exclaimed Korspat za. "Very well. The stew is your dish; I will eat the goose. Come and sit near me." A chair rose up on the spot to which Kors patza pointed, and Sirius sat down as he was bidden. " The stew is very good," said Sirius, after tasting a mouthful. "Is it ?" said the fairy. "You princes know good living ; so I take your word. Hand me the dish." Korspatza ate up the stew. "May I trouble you, madam,fora little goose?" said Sirius. "I have set my heart on a goose supper," said the fairy. "You may pick the bones when I have finished." Korspatza left no meat upon the bones : and after so full a meal slept very soundly on her soia. "What do 1 want with these dry bones?" thought Sinus ; "but I will remember the ad vice of Suzemunda. These must be the bones she mentioned in her note." Sirius, therefore, put tne goose-bones into nis pockets. Soon af terwards he full asleep. Presently he dreamed that he was being covered alive with a piecrust of putty, and awoke shivering. He found him self in the grasp of a soft, limp being who was . ieenne aDout nis pocaets. " What is the matter ?" asked the prince. Give me my bones." replied the hein. The being tumbled about in a flaccid, pow- oricBo umuuer ; ana u was eviaent that he had not one Done in nis Doay. "I will not give you your bones," said Sirius. "Who are you?" "I am an earth-spirit. In my bones lies all my strength. I was tranformed that I might tease you. Restore my bones, and I will serve you faithfully." "By what will you swear to me V "By nothing. The spirits have no need to swear. Only men or worse beings ever think of uttering a falsehood." "I will trust you, friend," said Sirius : "here are your bones." The being vanished, and soon re-appeared, clothed with his former strength. "By what name shall I call you ?" "I am the earth-spirit Marl. Since you have trusted me, I will deserve your trust I hate this old Korspatza, but she has still some pow er over me. Will you remove those ashes I" The wood fire had burned down to a few glow ing embers. Sirius swept these on one side "Tread, upon the floor, master," said the earth-spirit. Sirius did so. and a door leaped open, dis closing a large box. "Open the box," said Marl ; "I have not pow er over it. What do you see?" "A quantity of hair in lockets." "Now.O prince I" exelaimed "the spirit, "if you are generous, burn all these.. If joa will. possessingtnomi you can r;",j s,1. WWO subject to your biddrtgfeneeq nox . teu. you f that tne meanest spirit is too pruuu tented in a state of bbndage. A lock of my hair is among others in that box.

If you keep mine, I then must serve yoa by compul- sion ; burn mine jtogether with the rest, and I Shall serve you through free will.? " I have no wish to be ungenerous," said Sirius : !so I will burn them ail." ... ' . j ".Thanks, prince," replied Marl "And what wonld von like me to do to this old Witcbf" "Her loss will be enouch for her to- suffer," Sirius said, as hei raked the embers over all the prisoned locks of hair. . - . As they, burned, shouts of a mighty laughter and of great rejoicing thundered through the cave, under the sound -whereof its walls were .... . . - . - . -i o- - i i i- split, and crammed into oust, oinus ciuseu m : eyes, . greatly bewildered. When he opened them again, he stood under the warm sunshine, on a mountain side. The sunshine was quite warm, although the rain was falling in a sum mer -shower ; and the lain1 soon ceased. The grass and the trees sparkled (the very clod was contributing its f iragrance to tne .Duruew vu uvnta with which the elow-footed .breeze was A3n Buc-le-notes sounded in the wood below, i to which tie prince was listening, when sud denly a stag leaped up the hill, an arrow after it ; and after that; a single huntsman galloped forward in pursuit; When he came near to . Sirius, be checked hit course and swore a loud oath. Sirius started to the horse's bridle ; it was the Emperor Peter. '- " Halloi" cried the mperor reter. Holla-hoi" cried Sirius. The Emperor blew on his bugle to call to-. gether his attendants. Tbe prince shouted for Marl. Marl was the first to come. "Uan We change shapes " asked Hirras. . "At once," said Marl. Sirius sat on the Emperor's hofse, and looked like Emperor Peter. Emperor Peter stood be low, and struggled, in the shape of Sirius, to pull the horseman down. The train of attend ants in a short time came upon the ground. Emneror Peter was carried home for a mad man, and nlaced In a lunatic asylum, where be I pitsj was compassionately treated. Sirius finished the stag-hunt, and rode home in state. Early next morning Sirius proclaimed, in the name of the Emperor Peter, that whereas be had in the past reign been guilty of much op pression and injustice, and whereas he was now most heartily ashamed of this, and whereas he intended in the days to come to introduce into his government a better spirit, and in considera tion of the greatness of the intended change, he did now determine, ordain, appoint, command, and institute it as a law, that thenceforth he should be styled and entitled Emperor Peter the Second, his former self being eonsided dead. Peter II. accordingly devoted himself with much energy to the reformation of abuseB ; and, as Peter I. had only been three years upon the throne, it was found possible in six years' time to bring the state onoe more into a fair condi tion. You may be sure that Sirius did not long de lay a visit to the beautiful daughter of tbe Imperial House. Her beauty filled him with delight ; her ignorance possessed him with dis may. He did not fall in love with her, because she had no sense, and there is no filling one's belly from an empty dish, although it be of gilded porcelain. '- But the reformed Emperor determined that his mismanaged girl should be set free from her restraint. A hundred teachers were engaged to fill her head with knowledge ; but the more they talked, tbe more they puz zled her. At length, the more they talked, the more she slept over their talking. What could be done? Sirius called for his friend Marl to help him. Marl could do nothing, but sugges ted an application to the fairy Suzemunda. He had been to her, he said, to thank her for her former aid, because he had found her note ; in fact, Sirius had given it to him by accident when he restored the bones. Marl talked about Suzemunda very warmly. "Go, then, good fellow," exclaimed Sirius Mar went. He had made himself rather fami liar with the way, and came back with a box of lozenges. "Ihe wise teachers must eat these that is my message." Accordingly, to each of the wisest teachers was administered a Suze munda lozenge. Now the big books were shut and the old book-worms pointed with their inky hands to the sea, the sky, the earth. With live ly utterances, they revealed to the young prin cess, out of the store of their knowledge, the delights and. mysteries of Nature. History ac ted its deeds before her on their lips. Strange nations lived and spoke to her ; and as she spoke to them, she learned their language. Knowl edge, no longer crushing fancy, was upborne upon its wings into the sky. All truth walked majestic, crowned with the wild olive garland, victor in every contest, flattered with the music ot a thousand sweet triumphal son?s. Intel lects stamped with the first and last the maiden's lovely countenance. Her soul was awakened. and had begun tbe singing of its deathless melo dies, w boever walked beside her felt that ho ly thrill. ".Now," said the Prince of Candia to the Em peror Peter, who had been for six years ruling his mock empire in a lunatic asylum, "now, said the prince, "your kingdom is in order ; your subjects love you well, and your daughter is a oeing wnom no man can be wise enough to love sumcienuy.

Amperor reter was giaa to escape on any terms trom Bedlam, tie kept his own counsel and, continuing to receive credit for the good ness oi government, soon tound that it was more pleasant to gratify his reason as a good man, than to gratify his passions as a bad one. So he became good on principle at length, and was a bosom friend to honest Marl. Sirius courted the Emperor's daughter in his own person, and having in the course of anoth er year or two obtained her reasonable love, he married her. Ihe fairy Suzemunda, who was present at the wedding, (Marl was there, too, told the princess all her husband's story. This be bad himself not thought it right to tell, be 4Aaort V A nti alAj4 1 F. - L. 1 1. - t II . uauoo mouBu ucr .amer 10 nave an the cred it ot her education. ; That Suzemunda did not wish. But when Suzemunda afterwards told tne King ana queen ot Candia about the old woman Korspatza how, since she had lost her tairy power, she had been livine miserahlv in hut, and how she was at that moment suffering under a painful disease, they did not rejoice as mo guuu miry expected and desired. Suze munda had some spite about her, for she was a little annoyed when the king and queen sent nurses and doctors in a post-cbaise, with orders that the old woman was to be tended kindly. But the consequence of this kindness was, that Korspatza (she was too obstinate to drink any of the medicines) recovered, and lived to be come a very amiable person. The story ends with that, which is beyond question the most surprising of all transformations. T0$ AND BOTTOMS tns WatSoS; Sots;ni Daddy. aIbre. i.V i. " Solomon, my son.'

In the line of modern inventions, perhaps none excel in novelty and sigularity one for which a patent has been applied for, by Alpheus Myers, of Logansport, Ind. It is nothing less than fishing for worms in the human stomach, in order to remove them especially the tape worm without employing medicines. He has made a small trap, on which a bait is secured, and after fasting fur some time, the patient swallows the trap and bait, the latter being snapped at by the worm, which gets its head into the trap, and is at once drawn to the sur face, a captured tenioid. &cient ific America Who's afraid ?

Dr. Noble, in a very able and analytic lecture at Manchester, "Go the Dynamic Influences of Ideas," told a good anecdote of M. Boutibouse, a French savant, fn illustration of the power of imagination. AsDr. Noble says : "M. Bouti bouse served in Napoleon's army, and was pres ent at many engagements during the early part of last century. At the battle of Wagram, in 1809, he was engaged in the fray ; the ranks around him had been terribly thinned by shot, and at sunset he was nearly isolated. While reloading his musket, he was shot down by a cannon-ball. His impression was, that the ball had passed through his legs below his knees, separating them from the thighs ; for he sud denly sank down, shortened, as he believed, to the extent of about a foot in measurement. The trunk of the body fell backwards on the ground, and the senses were completely paralyz ed by the shock. Thus he lay motionless amongst the wounded and dead during the rest of the nighty not daring to move a muscle, lest tne loss oi Diood should be tatally increased. -ne felt no pain, but this he attributed to the stunning effect of the shock to the brain and nervous system. ' At early dawn lie was aroused by one of the medical staff, who came round to help the woun ded, .wnata the; matter with you, my good leuuw aiu me Burgeon. -Ah 2 touch me ten derly replied Mr. Boutibouse, 'I beseech you, a cannon Dan ba carried off my legs.' The surgeon examined the' limbs referred to, and then giving him a good shake, said, with ' ous laugh, get up with you, you have nothing the matter with you. M. Boutibouse immediate ly sprang up in utter astonishment, and stood nrmiy on tne legs which he had thnnh i forever. 'I felt more thankful ' Sit 1 1.1 T I - . ' oous, man i n ad ever done in the whole course my lite before.- I had not I had, indeed, been shot down by an immense cannon ball; but instead of passing through the legs, as I firmly believed it had, the bill uau paaseu unuer my teet, and plowed a hole in me Bna peneatn. at leant a f on the artnlicfttian .f Isaac Crabb name change! to Harrison, for whicn nis piea was, the sound of his name associated so many offensive recollections of a crawling nature' to his delicate sweetheart, that she made that the onlv objection to a matrimonial connection with.! him. On the reception of Crabb's bill by the ; Senate, the New, York Transcript, with its pe culiar tact of turning every laughable incident to good account, closes the sad fate of the dis appointed lover in crabbed tragi comedy, thus : Now. let us imagine for a moment, what must be the sad sequel of this ungallant rejec tion. Mr. Isaac Crabb goes to visit his dulcinea. He knocks at the door with a trembling hand, and while he is waiting for it to be opened, he fancies he hears her say, " If you're Mr. Har rison come in if you re Crabb, stay out I ne is presently admitted, and his mistress, with a doubtful expression of countenance says, " Am I to address you as Mr. Harrison, or Mr. ach ! oh 1 1 cannot speak the odious name or Mr. ." " Crabb, madam, my name is still Crabb ; I'm sorry to say it for your sake and for mine. The Legislature has declined my suit. But will you also, my ducinea, persevere in denying it? Will you V " Don't slide up to me. I can't bear a cnt ter that goes sideways. Keep your claws off me I" " Ah crueli shall I never have the pleasure of calling you Mrs. Crabb ? shall no young Crabbs climb upon our knees to share our af fections and our kisses ?" " No, J'll have no such critters poking about me. I'm sure they must be all married men, or incorrigible old bachelors." " Whatever they may be, there is no hope for them at all. But why should a mere name separate two persons whose hearts are firmly united?" " Any other name I could abide but to think of sleeping with a We shall both be Crabs together." " Not by a jug full. Havn't I told you often enough ? ' Is that your ultimatum then ? Must I re cede ? Must I retrograde ? Must I advance backwards ?" Farewell, then, most lovely cruel woman ! Farewell, most unfeeling Legislature ! Fare well, most unprejudiced, unfeeling world! Farewell, all my joys and delights of matrimo ny ! Incontinently will I drown myself. I'll make my bed in the deep water, with my fel low Urabbs !" Then al! ye lovers when ye go A fishing in tbe sea, And find a Crab upon your hook, Then thjnk O think of me. I died because I was aRABB, My love was ei'abbed, too ; And yet she would not be a Cbarb, For all that I could do. Ah, crabbed fate, above my bones There rests no marble slab ; I lie among tbe earth and stones, A poor forgotton Crabb. no prophet 'Lisha. though I " 'Side' chirped another, "be never got drunk!" Wo think that last brick ' knocked him for when we jcame away he was lying flat on the . pavement. A DAGrERREOTVPE.

Every lawyer of any note has heard and read of the celebrated Luther Martin, of Mary land. His great efforts in the case of Aaron Burr, as well as his displays in the Senate of the United States, will not be forgotten. Tri fles in the history are important, as we hope to show in the story. Mr. Martin was on his way to Annapolis, Md., to attend to the Supreme Court of the State. A solitary passenger was in the stage coach with him, and as the weather was ex tremely cold, the passengers soon resorted to conversation to divert themselves from too much seusibility to the inclement air. The young man knew Mr. Martin by sight, and, as he also was a lawyer, the talk began to spin itself out of legal matters. 'Mr. Martin said the young man, I am just entering on my career as a lawyer ; can you tell me tne secret oi your great success r it, sir,. you will give me from your experience, the key to distinction at the bar, I will ' Will what?' asked Mr. xMartin. 'Why, sir, I will pay your expenses while you are at Annapolis,' replied the young disciple. Done, responded Mr. Martin. 'Stand tc your bargain now, and I will turnisn you the great secret of success as a lawyer ihe young man assented. Very well said Martin. 'The whole reason of my success is contained in one little maxim, which I early laid down to guide me. If you follow it, you cannot fail to succeed. It is this : 'always be sure of your evidence The listener was very attentive smiled threw himself back in a philosophical posture, and gave his brains to tho analysis in true law yer patience, of 'Alwajs be sure Of your evi dence The young man watched Mr. Martin. When ever eating and drinking were concerned, he was indeed a man to be watched ; especially in the latter, as he waa immoderately fond of tbe after-dinner, after supper, after anything, luxu ry of wine. A few days were sufficient to show the incipient legalist that he would have to pay dearly for his knowledge, as Martin seemed re solved to make the most of his part of the con tract. Lawyers, whether young or old, have legal rights, so the young man began to think of the study of self-protection. It certainly was a solemn duty. It ran through all crea tion. Common to animals and men, it was a noble instinct, not to be disobeyed, particularly where the hotel bills of a lawyer were concern ed. The subject daily grew on the young man. It was all absorbing to mind and pocket. A week elapsed, and Mr. Martin was ready to return to Baltimore. So was the young man, but not on the same stage with his illus trious teacher. Mr. Martin approached the counter in the bar room. The young man was an anxious spectator near him. Mr. Clerk said Martin, 'my young friend, , will settle my bill, agreeably to agree ment The young man said nothing, but looked every thing. , 'lie will attend to it. Clerk, as we have al ready had a definite understanding on the sub ject. He is pledged, professionally, pledged, to pay my bill, hurriedly repeated Martin. 'Where's your evidence ?" meekly asked the young man. 'Evidence !' sneered Mr. Martin. 'Yes sir said the young man, as he compla cently responded, 'Always be sure, Mr. Martin, of your evvlence. Can you prove the bargain ?' Mr. Martin saw the snare, and pulling out his pocket book, paid the bill, and with great good humor, assured the young man, 'You will do, sir, and can get through the world with your profession without advice from me. TEMPERANCE DRINK. Our anecdote of the Western Judge who would 'take a mackerel reminds a New Hamp shire correspondent of a similar arrangement which once fell under bis observation : "An agent of a manufacturing company, in a plea Bant village of 'Old Rockingham New Hamp shire, was rather noted for his meanness in money matters. He also combined a great dislike of alcoholic drinks with a weakness for hard boiled eggs. Being in Boston, One day, a friend who waa acquainted with his peculiar tastes, met him near tbe 'Revere,' and asked him to 'imbibe 'Thank you replied the agent, 'I don't drink, but Tll take a boiled egg and three cents " The inviter immediately broke' for Quincy Market to obtain tha HAmNH I refreshment."
