A Ready Lawyer. Mr. Sergeant Vaughan, as a barrister. occasionally performed some generous act- : o i i i . luiis. oeenu vears airo. wnne on ins wav to Chelmsford assizes, he met with an in telligent and agreeable fellow -traveler on the coach. The Sergeant, who was on such occasions very fond of what he used to call a little agreeable chat, with any talkative person he chanced to meet, soon drew his traveling companion into a lively conversation with him. Having'alwaya had a sprinkling of Yankee curiosity, he generally contrived to worm out, by a process imperceptible to the party himself, wnai ne wisnea to learn regarding him. On the ossasion alluded to. Mr. Vauirhaa was not long in ascertaining from his com. panion that lie was also going to Chelms ford assizes, which were to be held on the following day. "As a juryman no doubt? said Mr. Vanghau, on learning th fact useii. No sir, not a juryman,' said the oth ers Oh, as a witness, I should have said?' 'Not as a witness either; I wish it were as pleasant as that.' " 401i, I see how it is: vou aie prosecutor in some case which is painful to your feelings. However such things will happen; mere is no neip lor them.' .. You ar6 still wrong in your conjectures. 8Tf i am going tu pay oway some money for a relative who has a case at the as sizes.' Ah, that is it! very unpleasant certainly to pay money,' observed the learned Ser seant. 'It is. indeed, for those who have' littlo to pare,' observed the oiher. .1IT .11 Tl . t . . -wen, a nope u is not to any serious amount. , Why the magnitude of the sum do pends entirely on the resources of the par ty who has to mate the payment. Very true; certainly, very true The sum of 100,. which to one of my i. ... '''' iimuea means, is a vary urge sum, in deed Oh, but perhaps you expect to be re paid in some way or other again.: That's very uncertain;. it depends en tirely upon whether my relative, who has jast taken a private house there, succeeds H UUIII1C69 ur IIUW -';:,,".- f - Well, it certainly is a hard case ob served Mr. Sergeant Vaughan, with a se rious and emphatic air.';,, ,,,' Aye,' you .would say to if you only knew the whole of it Indeed 1 are there any peculiar circura stances attending, the case?' ;: 'There are, indeed ' answered the other something between a sigh and a groan. Is the realtor a secret?' answered Mr. Sergeant Vaughan, his curiosity : beinir wound up to the highest pitch.

: 'Not ia tho least,' said th other; 'I'll tell you the atory, if you don't think it tiro-

some. . I am all anxiety to hear it said the learned gentleman. Well then said the inother, abbot six weeks since, a respectable corn dealer in London, when on his way to Chlemsford, met on the coach with two persons who were perfect strangers to him. The stran. gers Boon entered into conversation with him, and having loarned the object of his visit to Chlemsford. said that they were also going there on a similar errand, namely, to make some purchases of corn After some further conversation together, it was suggested by one of the parlies that it would be much belter for all three if they could come to an understanding together, as to what amount of purchases they should make, and under what particular circumstances they should be made, for if tny went into the market slap dash and witbouvny understanding about the matter, the resuU would bo that in so small a place as Chlemsford, they would raise the prices; whereas, by operaving slowly and concert, that would be avoided. The sec ond party pretended to approve highly cf the suggestion, and further proposed, that neither should have the start of the other that they should deposit the amount of mo ney in the hands af a respectable landlord of the principal inn; takiu care that they should do so in the presence of witnesses. and that special instruction should be given to the landlord not to eire up a farthing of the money to either until all threi return- . .1 a ea torrpther to roeivo the whole! nddinrr o . - that if he did he wonld be held responsi ble. The London merchant, knowing the landlord of the inn to be a man of undoubted respectability, at once assented to the proposal, and each of the three parties ac cordingly placed in his hands, under the ciicumstances stated, 250, making 750 in all.' Well observed Sergeant Vaughan, well you certainly interest me in your story. And what was the result?' Why this that scarcely had the three parties loft the inn a minute, when one of the strangers came running back, and said that on a second thought they had come to the conclusion for them to make their purchases as early in the day as possible. and that consequently the other two had desired him to return and get the money, And the landlord gave him the whole sum al once? interrupted Mr. Sergeant Vauorhan. He did, indeed; unfortunately for him self and me answered tho other. And what followed? inquired the learn ed gentleman eagerly. Why, the other strange and the Lon don merchant returned in about an hour afur, and demanded their money u hen the landlord of course told them he had given it to the other He did On which I suppose, they bring an action against tho landlord? Precisely so; and seeing that defense was useless, inasmuch as he delivered up the money to op, when his instructions were peremptory not tj deliver it until all three were present, my friend is to allow the action to go undefended, lhe money must be paid the sharpers for both stran gers, as the event proved, were sharpers and also the London merchant. And you really have made up your mind to pay it?' Oh, certainly, bacause there is no help for it 'I am a barrister, I am Mr. Sergeant Vaughan, and I will defend the case for the landlord gratuitously. The other tendered ' him a thousand thanks for his intended kindness, but expressed hlsappreher.sion that all efforts at defense would prove useless. We shall see said the Sergeant signif icantly, you and your friend, the landlord, will call on me this evening at eight o'clock to arrange for the defense to-mor-row. To morrow cirae, and the case was du ly called on. The poor inkeeper, acting on the advice of Mr. Vaughan, buk not perceiving in what way he could bo benefitted by it. defended the case. Everything ; proceeded so favorably for the prosecution for some time, that though every person in court deeply svrapathized with the poor landlord, they saw no possibility of any other result than a verdict against him. Mr. Sergeant Vaughan, when the case for the prosecution was closed rose and saM: Now, gentlemen of the jury, you have the evidence adduced. . You have seen it proved by the most unexceptionable . wit nesses that the defendant received the most positive ins'ructions from al! three not to deliver the money, or any part of ii to either of the parties except in the presence of thenr all.. Gentlemen, ray client has got the money in his possession, and is ready to deliver "it up when all the three parlies come to demand it ! Let the . absent party be bronght to his house, in company with the other two, and every one will have his money returned to him' ; -.The defense. was equally ingenious and complete. : Tha jury looked amazed at each ether as if some new world had burst upon their astonished, gaze; .. so did all the spectators in court. , The verdict was, of course for the defendant. It is unnecessary to add that the two who had absconded with the money never. returned and consequently the poor landlord had never a farthing of it to pay. A Methodist minister1 at the Yestwho on a small salary,, was greatly troubled to get his quarterly in tallment. Heat last told the non paying trustees . that he must have his money.as his family were suffering for the necessaries of life.' 'Money?' replied the steward,' you preach Tor money? .1 thought you preached for the good ol souls! Soulsl replied the minister, I can't eat soils, and if I, could, it' Would take a thousand souls such as yours to make a meal.

Thc Panic in the Republic

an l'arty. No better evidence can be found that the Two Years' Amendment to the constitution of Massachusetts was an outrageous act, insulting to adopted citizens and oppressive to foreigners desiring to become cuizens, man me great pains mat some of the Republicans have been to, in. the West, to' disclaim all sympathy with that party in the Last, and to repudiate ail responsibility for this piece of 'Republican lslalion. Mr. Lincoln has written a let- , and so has Mr. Trumbull Mr. Grimes of Iowa, has written a letter, and so hare we don't know how many more "distin guished Republicans of. the West," each and all of whom profess to have been grieved at the course pursued by their fel low partisans of Massachusetts; and the said amendment 13 denounced by each and all of them in pood round terms. But what of it? What does all this protesting against an act, that hr.s alrcadj been enacted, amount to? Can any -number of words from the new Republican Senator from Iowa, or from Mr. Trumbull, or from Mr. Lincoln Abo Lincoln, the great defeated help tin case one particle? These are questions obvious to put, and they will be asked by the people. Somebody has got to answer them. There is nothing plainer to our view than that the Republicans of the whole country, (wo mean of the whole North; Republicans are not tolerated in the South) were willing from the first to have their friends in Massachusetts proscriba for eigners. indeed the Republicans everywhere know, as weil as we do, that with out the principle of ' proscription of all foreigners in their creed, they would soon be left in a minority in every New England State.. There the negio is worshipped and the foreigner oppressed. Hence the pro scriptive acts of the Massachusetts legis lature: they were thought to be necessary to keep the Iwpublican-American party . a i . rni united, andin me ascendant, ihis was the view taken of the case by Governor Banks, the ablest and most aspiring leader of that party in the east, when, in his mes sage two vears ago, he indicated this very measure (which i3 now occasioning the Republicans so much trouble) to the Mas sachusetts legislature, and urged his friends in that body to adopt it. He took the same view, when, only a few months ago, he renewed the subject, and implored the legislature to adopt tbi9 identical"Two Years Amendment bill. It is no new act of proscription sprung suddenly on the Republican parly; it is two years old it has been idvocated by the Republicans, and by the Democrats opposed. Yet it is not until after the act has parsed into a law, that the Republican leader in the West raise their voices against it. The business is all over with; the constitution cf Massachusetts has been amended; the odious Two Years' provision is incorporated in the organic law; foreigners proscribed and adopted citizens insulted, and now a few men who are called leaders of the Republican party of the West, come before the people anl profess that they are very sorry that things have gone as they have, and that they have been opposed to things going so, all the while! Shame on the men who thus attempt to deceive the people! their protestations came too late, and their f sorrow is hypocritical. The adopted citi zens are not fools; nor are foreigners who would become citizens. . .They see the this question as it is. They understand where the responsibility lies. They cannet be cheated. Where were the leaders of this western Republicanism when the battle in Massachusetts was beinfr fought? If they are honest in their protestations of opposition to tho principle of the Two Years' Amendment, why did they not oppose the Amendment itself? It is evident that they were, at heart, its friends; their only concern now is, how to shirk the responsibility. Ch. Times. A Rich PiifT. A manufacturer and. Yonder of patent medicines recently wrote to a friend living out west for a good, strong recommendation for his (the manufacturer's) 'Balsam In a few days he received the following, which we call pretty strong: 'Dear Sir: The land composing my farm had hitherto been so poor, that a Scotchman could not get a live off it, and so slony that we had to slice our potatoes and plant them edgeways, but hearing of your balsam -I put some on a ten-acre' lot surrounded by a railroad fence, and in the morning I: found that tin rock had entirely disappeared, a neat stone wall encircled the field, and the rails were split into oven wood and piled up systematically in my backyard. ; . : . ' 1 I put half an , ounce into the middle of a huckelberry swamp; in two days it was cleared off and planted with corn and pumpkins and a row ot peach tree3 in full blossom through the middle. , 'As evidence of its tremendous strength I ; would say that it drew a striking likeness of, my eldest son out of a mill pond, drew a blister all over his belly,' drewa load of potatoes four miles to market; aad eventually drew a prize of niaety-seTen dollars in a lotery.'f . ; . - A ! . ; : ! ' AsTom8iiiso FxAT.The San Francisco Herald says James Konovan, who had undertaken to run or walk one hundred miles in one ..hundred - hours, accomplished hh arduous feet, in that city; having performed the distance in 98 hours and 20 minutes,' thus winning by one hour and forty minutes. On the last ten rounds he was kept up by cheers and noi3e, as well as urging, when he struck a trot an came in winner. He weighed one. hundred and twenty-six pounds at j the start and. one hundred and twenty-one and a half at the conclusion of his wager, having lost four pouuda and a half. I The. best time made was eight miles in one hour, and on the, last hour he ' accomplished but one mile and a half..; . .!: 1 1 Often and little eating makes a man fat.

Moiiawk Dutch The folfowing stoay is good because it is true. ; We had it from the lips of a good woman, who was told it by the principal actor himself: Veu T first come to Filadelify to serve I was very uncivilized said Katrine, now a tidy intelligent servant in a respectable family: 'I laugh mooch, and I feel mooch ashamed to remember how I behave ven I

know 6o little. Shon that was ray beau then Shon he took me to the theater one night, when " I been in Filadelify three weeks. We Bits iu the gallery, and we not see good, and Shon said he would get a better 6eat, So he puts his leg round de post and schlidcs dowd mit de pit, and looks up' and calls out Katrine! Katrine! come down! tish a good view here!' and I leaned over, and said I: 'How can I come, Shon?' And he said: 'Just shlides down' ho I puts my legs round de pillar, and shlides down too. D under' how de peo pie3 laugiui uey laugn so aey play no more dat night upon the stage. Every ii i.ii-ii i body laugh, and yell, acd whisilo all over de house! I was so mooch ashamed den. though 1 knew not any harm! But now I plushes every time I dinks of it Beeciier on Newspapers. Consider how universal are newspaper in America. They penetrate every nook and corner of society. No other element of power has such a sphere. The pulpit, the court the lecture, compared with the newspaper, touch society in but few places. The news paper in America is universal. It reaches within and without, from surface to core; it travels everywhere, is bought by every body, and read by all classes, and "is wholly or nearly the only reading of more than half our population. Its service to good morals and intelligence among the people is iucalcuable. All the libraries of Europe are not of as much service to tho nations cf Europe as the newspaper is to thi3 American nation. Its power is growing. Who would, twenty years ago, have dreamed of such a growth and power as have been developed? But the next twenty years will witness a greater. The editor is to be the schoolmaster. The best talent will find its highest sphere in the editorial room;aIready the chair is more influential than the bench or the platform. No bruin can act upon so many as that which speaks by the printing press. Ink beats like blood in the veins of the nation. The Eaul of Dekbv Upon the Balance ofPowfr.- The British Premier, the Earl of Derbt, in a late speech upon tho busting in Eagland thus alluded to the balauce-of-power theory: Gentlemen, we hear a great deal of the importance of sustaining certain barriers, in Europe, and many other axioms, all of which to a certain degree are true, and which may for a certain lime continue to prevail. But let me take this appotunity of impressing upon you that the day is coming, if it has not already come, when question of the balance of pover can not be confined to Europe alone. Since the time when that doctrine obtained, great communities have risen in another hemisphere, who will not permit the balance of power to be limited to Europe. You have on the other side, of the Atlantic vigorous and powerful communities, who will no longer 1. . I. suDmu to your nrcumscrioed theory of authority.The Australian colonies, thou eh now in their youth, but in the youth of giants, have already, as in were, thrown their colossal shadow over Europe Lord Derby seems to have a correct idea of the growth and increasing power in this vast Republic. S3T gave her a rose and I gave her a ring. and I asked her to marry me then; but she sent them all back, insensible thing, and said she had no notion of men. I told I'd oceans of money and goods; tried to frighten her with a growl; but she answered that she wasn't brought up in the woodsy to be scared by the screech of an owl.
