He Got Off.

A little 6-year-old boy in Natchez, Mass., had been listening to the remarks of a legal-minded uncle in regard to the prospect of an indicted person getting clear by securing a CoutiUuance of his case from time to time. Shortly after the little fellow got into a scrape, which secured for him from his mother a promise of a little dose of slipper at an early period. He anxiously sought his unde for advice on the subject, but could get sympathy only, with no prospect of relief. Finally, said the younster: “Uncle, don’t you think you could get mother to continue the case? If we could get a continuance, I think I could get off.” He got off.
