BAGGAGE TRAIN

THE WIFE'S DOWER. . BY A RETIRED ATTORNEY. Every body who knew John Gordon, knew him to be one of the meanest and most contemptible men that ever was permitted to walk the earth. His brother Peter was not a whit better; so that it would appear that meanness ran in the blood of the family. John was pretty well off, so far as this world's goods were concerned. His property was all invested in a buildin" which had cost him thirty thousand dollars. He ditTnot marry till he was forty, probably from the fear of incurring unnecassary expense ; and when, finally, he did take a wife, it was only as he would have taken home a housekeeper a servant. Mrs. Gordon was a poor woman, and had been obliged to work very hard for a living. Probably she married on purely prudential considerations, for she could not possibly have loved such an abortion of a man as John Gordon. She took good care of her husband, treated him better than he deserved, and was in every respect an obedient and faithful wiie. All she received in return was the meagre support her husband's house afforded. When they had been married some three years, ' John was taken sick, and lingered along for a year, during which time his wife was an excellent and devoted wife. Her whole aim seemed to be to discharge her duty to her lord with fidelity. She had made a bargain with him, and she performed her part of the contract with scrupulous exactness. One day I heard that John Gordon was dead. It was a small loss to the community, and I could not think of pitying his wife, for her lot would certainly be ameliorated by his departure. She would be entitled to one third of the income of the real estate, which, for a poor woman, as she had been, and having no luxurious tastes to gratify, would be a prince's stipend. I neither thought nor heard any more of John Gordon and wife for two months, when a woman appeared at my office and introduced herself as the latter.. " Mine is a very bad case, Mr. Dooket," said she seating herself by my side. " Indeed, madame, I thought you were very comfortably provided for. You have one-third of the income of your husband's estate, or about a thousand dollars a year." - " It seems I am not to have this," she replied, gloomily. '.'Hot to have it?"s " Peter Gordon has taken possession of the estate, declaring it belongs to him. He says that my husband sold it to him a few weeks belbro he died." "How could that be?" " Peter showed me the deed, and says that it has been recorded." " Docs he ? So much the better for you, madame. The law gives one half of his personal estates " " But he sold it for one dollar," interrupted Mrs. Gordon. , " He could not sell it without your concurrence. Did you release your right to dower in the premises ?" " No, sir ; Peter says I did, though, and shows me my name, duly witnessed, on the deed." " Did you sign it?" ; "No, sir." " Then it is a forgery." 1 " I suppose it is." - - ' 1 1 ! , " You are confident you did not sign your name to ' the deed?" " I am sure I did not, and for a very good reason." " How's that ? " "I cannot write; I never even wrote my name.' I was brought up in the country, where girls did not get so much schooling as now. My folks were very poor, and I never had a chance to go to school," replied Mrs. Gordon, with some confusion. " Did your husband know that you could not write?" " No ; I never told him." I dismissed her with the request that she would call the' next day. I went at once to the Registry of Deeds, and found that Mrs. Gordon had told a straight story. Her miserable and contemptible husband had given his property to his brother, in his last days, so as to cheat his wife, who had cared for him in health, and nursed him in sickness, of her just claim upon his estate. , . . - - He was a villain 1 I need not say I felt a deep interest in the case of my client, and resolved to bring matters to an issue at once. The next day when she Called, she directed me to her sister, by whom it could be proved that Mrs. Gordon could not write her name; who had seen her make her mark often, within a very short time. ' ' ' The person who professed to have witnessed the signature of Mis. Gordon, was a - clerk in the office of Peter. My first move was to take steps to arrest him on a charge of fraud, and to sue his employer for my client's share of the rents, which he had just collected, and which he had refused to pay over to her. When I had proceeded thus far I received a 'visit from Pete Gordon. - "What do you mean, sir ? " he asked rather surly. ',' " I mean to get justice for the widow." ' Her husband was not worth a dollar when he died." " But his wile has one-third interest in his real estate." ' , , " It was sold to me ; and she signed away her right to dower." . "Did she?" ' " ;;' .' . .... "Certainly she did." . . - "Did you see her sign ? " ... " To be sure I did; so did my clerk." i " There is a warrant out for the arrest of your clerk; and I have some hopes that lie will turn State's evidence and convict his principal." He started back with astonishment and terror. " I I don't understand you," he stammered out. y "Don't trouble yourself about it, Mr. Gordon, you " will understand it all in good time." " For God's sake don't arrest my clerk 1 He will be tne rum ot me, groaned be. . r " You should have thought of that before," I said. . - " You don't mean to say there is any thing- wrong about my brother's affairs ? Because if there is I will make it right you know," he whined in supplicating tones. , . " You say you saw Mrs. Gordon sign that deed ? " "Well, no not exactly; but I suppose she signed it." "You don't know that she didn't?" - " Hour should I know?" . . " She can't write; she never even wrote her name in her life." "Gracious 1 " ' . ' . ';' I pressed the rascal closely, and made him acknowledge that his clerk had signed the name for a consideration. I would have caused both of them to be sent to the State Prison, if Mrs. Go.don had not begged me to spare them. As it was, I secured the entire income of the estate for my client, and charged my bill to Peter, who was but too glad to pay it. The Drawer has the vouchers for the literal truth of the following: i . '. -. . "In the town of T , in the goodly State of Connecticut, the legal voters of a School District were,' one evening, gathered in annual meeting at the schoolhouse, 'for choice of otlicers for the year ensuing, and to do any other business proper to be done at said meeting.' The meeting having been organized, and a new District Clerk duly elected, it became a legal necessity that the clerk should be sworn to the faithful discharge of his duty. Here was a dilemma; for no copy of the statute was at hand, with its form of the oath, and no one present was sufficiently familiar with the science of swearing to' put tlie newly-chosen functionary through the regular and requisite course. ' "After much 'parleying and no little persuasion, good old Deacon Smith undertook the work, and finished it after this fashion. Turning to the clerk, who with uplifted right hand awaited his commission, the Deacon said: , . , ' , , , "'Ion snlemnlii stoear that ou will sneak the truth. the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; for the year . to romp '" This world is so given to lying, it would be a good plan to add the Deacon's oath to the "qualification" of every office-holder in the land. ' - In the Court of Special Sessions, recently, a man named Smith was arraigned for stealing a demijohn, containing three gallons of whisky. "Are you guilty, or not guilty?" asked the clerk. " Wal. you can call it what you like ; I tuk the whisky, that I 'admit, and dnnke.d it too." "You took it without leave, did you not?" . . ' ' " I never wait to be asked, when that article's round."

The only point to the following, from a correspondent in Tennessee, is the truth of it, though it is very well, as showing how a man may be learned in the law and innocent as a babe of everyday lore: ' "Judge Benson had long presided with great dignity and ability on one of the chief circuits of the State. In one of the cases that came before him from a lower court, a flock of geese made a considerable figure as t respassers on the premises of one of the parties. One of the lawvers, a was, and now in fine feather, spoke

of the pranks of a gander, and always called it he, until the Judge corrected him, by saying that the gander is the female goose that lays the eggs, and should be spoken of as she. The lawyer submitted to the correction until the Court adjourned, when he proposed to the Judge, and the Judge agreed, to refer the gender of the gander to the landlady of the house where they were to dine. Mrs. M'Queen was as fond of fun as the rest, and was willing also to please the Judge; and whpn the ease was stated to her she put on the gravest face, but with a roguish laugh in the corner of her eye, she said, , -"'Why, yes; every goose knows that the gander is the female, and lays the eggs J , " 'There 1 there 1' shouted the Judge. 'I told you so; you think you can teach me, do you ? I knew the gander lays the eggs I . . ' There is a moral, as good as preaching, to this story, which comes from a new hand : "Aunt Jenny was a very exemplary colored woman, and always felt and showed much concern for the fu ture welfare of her numerous children. But little Nicholas had so much of the 'Old Nick' in him, that, with all her persuasions and threats, she could not bring him into the good way of saying his prayers. One afternoon Aunt Jenny was startled by hearing loud cnes from the barn-yard 'O .Lord I O .Lord I and, hastening out, she saw young Nick pinned to the fence with the horns of a cow, one on each side of him, and now and then she would let him out, but only to 'bunt' him back again. Nick kept up his cries 'O Lord !' and all the louder when he saw his mother coming. But she didn't interfere. She stopped, took a good look, set her arms a-kimbo, and sang out, 'Oh yes ! you's mighty willin'.to call on de Lord now you's got into trnbul, but you couldn't pray wid yourmudur like a spectable chile ! And turning to the kitchen she left Nick to the tender mercies ot the cow, being quite sure, however, that' no serious harm could come to him." Joe Marsh is the justly-celebrated proprietor of a hotel in the pleasant village of Binmngton, in this State. But while Joe provides a good table, and acts the host to universal satisfaction, he, like most others, has his peculiarities which peculiarities, by-the-by, furnish frequent amusement for bar-room visitors, though not always to his profit. Joe is not celebrated for a superabundance of either native or acquired talent, while his sharp sayings are characterized by a peculiar nasal accent, entirely his own. He was once kicked on the head by a horse; he says it helped his eyesight, but hurt his business faculties. -' . - - One cold day Joe sat by his warm bar-room stove, indulging at once his notorious indolence and literary taste the former in the natural way, and the latter in reading a History of Napoleon. . Joe read a page or two, when he yielded to a desire to sleep. One of those roguish boys (of which Binnington has not a few) who were making Joe one of their regular calls, conceived the idea of turning back leaves to where he first commenced. Joe wakes up in the process of time, and renews his reading; reads as far as it continues interesting, when he again falls asleep, and the boys turn back the leaves as before. I his is repeated Jour times, when a bright idea effectually wakes Joe up. "Gosh, boys ! that Napoleon's the smartest feller ever lived; crossed the Alps four times in one day, and dragged a heavy cannon ajter tm.p To his bar he adds a store of candies, in which the bot-s invest all the cents and emrs, etc., they can hook for the pursose of trade. Joe winks at their wicked ness, and puts their pilienngs into his till. One evening a big boy brought in a ben and sold it for a pound of candy. . Joe gave him the candy, and told him to put the hen in the barn, winch he did. boon another boy, encouraged by the success, brought in a hen and got the same price, and this set the thing a going the dovs always carrying the hen to the barn at Joe s direction. In the morninp- he found he had been sold badly, having bought the same hen six times, and one ot his own at that I ,. -Yi Some rogues broke into a store in the neichborhood of Stonington, Connecticut, the keeper of which was well known lor the extravagant prices he put upon his goods. Having no revival in the vicinity, he charged up most abominably. ' The rogues.pitched every thing about, but did not appear to have carried any goods away; and the owner found the following apologetic note on his counter in the morning: ; "Dear Sir, We entered your store last night for the purpose of making a haul, but we find your goods marked so confoundedly high we thought we could not afford to take any thing. ,- . . .
