Law V eksus Love. Mr. Popkins was a bachelor. I' men lion this fact with all due reverence for the Dame and sympntliy for the condition He was well-lb do in the worM, if ownTng a flue farm and being plaintiff in a lawsuit is any criterrof..1 -'Aside from Mr. Popkiu's miffortnne in beinjj a bachelor, he had one fault a central uversion to female society and a particular, aversion -to.Miss Sallie Hopkins the defendant in the above-named lawsuit, j Now, be it known, that though Miss Sallies name was put down on the list of O. M'h (old maids,) she was the roundest, rosiest, dimple-cheekrd spinster that ever I!t1 tt lit '-i -aLJ"1 browf) ejep, with a trick of looking down peeping under the lashes, perfectly be- wiliicrin'' and her hair waved and shone in such a manner that a susceptible lady like you and me would have felt an irresist ible debire to have sole ownership of the "nut-brown locks." "; But, however fascinating Miss Stllie was to the 8c x in general, as I have said, be tween her and Mr. Topkins there was a deadly feud, and the cause of all the trouble was a meadow, spreading far and wide and unconscious, between Miss Sallie's and Mr. Popkins' farm. ' Now the truth of the matter was this : The meadow justly belonged to Mr. Pop kins, but instead-of going to Miss Sallie and frankly stating the case, ho must serve a process of law. Miss Sallie flew all to pieces, and declared that she would main tain her right at any cost. ' From the manner in which it ended she could' sec that had Mr. Popkins gone to her himself she would have relinquished it gracefully, but a woman has a mortal ter ror of being forced to do anything. Tie a string around her neck, feed her sugar plum?, and you can lead her tolhe" jump- ing-off pluce, but to drive her, and for ob stinacy she will beat Mark Twain's mule all to pieces. . , . When Miss Sullie met Mr. Popkins on the street her nose was decidedly "re-j tronsse," and Mr. Popkins looked like an automaton Cardiff giont. The neighb were, forced to tab part in the caseyfor when invitations were issued lor the4ee lur tea-parties those who invited (Mt Pop- kii.s wore obliged to omit , MfcsSallie, and vice versa. In the meantime thcrfawsuit dmeced its slow length along fom session io session, from term to tcrr' until it was as familiar as A IS C, isuy futc had taken in hand the destiny of fheso two obstinate individ uals, and sojrV brought matters to a most satisfactory conclusion, though the uncon scious ndhediutor was rather a burlesque on the irhPf'trhurdv dailv enacted. o - o - - here lived close to those belligerents a good-natured old man, -nearly as deaf as a post, who had the greatest faculty for blundering on unfortunate fuels of any in dividual known ir. either ancient or modern history. " ' ' He never heard anything correctly, and it was an utter impossibility to try to ex plain, and if you attempted it you would find yourself floundering in a a perfect slough of despair.

On arriving at the cabin. the lawyer pushed open the door, which was ajar, and there sat his former wife, surrounded by her three children and his own daughter.
