A TRIFLING DIFFERENCE.

A Jerseyman called upon a New York lawyer and announced that his rich brother had drawn up a will and died, and that —” “ Ah! I see!” interrupted the attorney, “and you want me to bust it. Very well, sir; we’ll plead insanity. ” “Oh, no—he wasn’t insane. You see the will leaves everything to—” “To his second wife, or some church or college. Have no fears, my dear sir. I can bust the business high-sky. Well plead undue influence.” “But I influenced him myself!” “All, that alters the case somewhat; but I’ll prove to the jury that he was afflicted with softening of the brain.” “For Heaven’s sake, don’t do it!” “But I njust and shall bust the will.” “Then I’ll have to find a lawyer who can’t, for it’s drawn in my favor, and I want to beat all the other heirs!” “Ah! certainly! that alters tne case. Your brother was sane, sensible and in perfect health; and all the lawyers this side of Halifax- can’t break the will! Sit down, sir!” —Wall Street News.
