John Tsylor was licenced when a youth of twenty one to practice at the bar. He was poor, but well eduoaled, and possessed extrsordinary genius. The graces of his person, combined with the superiority of his intellect, enabled him to win the hand of a fashionable beauty. Twelve months afterwards, the husband was employed by wealthy firm of the city to goon a mission as land agent to the west. As a heavy salary was offered, Taylor bade farewell to his wife and infant son.' He wrote back every week, but receded not a line in an»wer. Six months elapsed when the husband received a lettsr from his employers that ex plained all. Shortly after his departure for the west, the wife and her father removed to

Mississippi.

The thirty lawyer* were aa ailent aa death. *. I Judge Mills repeated the qaeatioo. I 'I will your honor,' said a voice from the thickest part

tbe bar, At the tones of that voice many started |half from their seats: and perhaps there was Inot a heart in that immense throng which Idid not beat something quicker—it was so unearthly, sweet, clear, ringing and mournful.

The first sensation, however, was ehan!ged into general laughter, when a tall, gaunt spectral figure, that nobody present remem fbered to have seen before, elbowed his way {through the crowd and placed himself with* in the bar. His appearance was a problem to tbe sphinx herself. His higb. psle, brow, land small, nervously twitching face seemed alive with tbe concentrated essence and ere am of genius: but then his infaUile blue eyea, hardly visible beneath their massive arches, looked dim, dreary, almost unconcious and his "clothes were so shabby that the court hesitated to let th» cause proceed under his management. "Has your name been entered on the rolls of the State?' demanded tbe Judge auspio* iously. •Ills immaterial about my name being on your rolls!' answered the stranger, his thin bloodless lips curling into a fiendish sneer. •I may be allowed to appear once by the courtesy of the court and bar.

but who it was, or how

it happened, was imposible to guess. Col. Ashly spoke 1rst. He dealt the jury a dish of close dry logic, which years afterwards rendered him fsmous in the Senate of the Union.

The poet. Albert Pike, followed with a rich vein of wit, and a hail torrent of ridicule. in which you may be sure neither the plaintiff, nor the plaintiffs ragged attorney |were either forgotten or spared.

The great Prentiss concluded for the defendant" with a glow of gorgeous words. brilliant as a shower of felling stars, and with a final burst of oratory, that brought the house down in cheers in which the sworn jury themselves joined notwithstanding the storn 'order* of the bench. Thus wonderfully susceptible are the South western people to the charms of impassioned eloquence.

It was then the stranger's turn. Ha had remained apparently abstracted during all the previous speeches. Still, and straight and motionless in his seat, his pah, smooth forehead shooiing up high like a mountain! oone of snow, but for that eternsl twitoh that

But now, he rises—before the bar railing not behind it—and so near the wondering jury that he might touch the foreman with his long bony finger. With his eyes still half shut, and standing rigid as a pillar of iron, his thin lips curl as if in measureless soorn, slightly apart,& the voice cornea forth. At first it is low and sweet insinuating itself through tha brain as an artless tune winding ita way through the deepest heart, like the melody of a magic incantation—while the speaker proceeded without a gesture or the least sign of excitement to tear in pieces the argument of Ashley, which melts away at his touch as frost before the sunbeam.— Every one looked surprised. His logic was at once so brief, and so luminously clear, that the rudest peasant oould comprehend it without effort.

He painted the slanderer so black that the sun seemed dark at noon day when shining upon such an accursed monster, and then he fixed both portraits upon the shining brow of Hopkins, and he nailed them there forever.

He closed by a strange exhortation, to the jury, and through them to tbe bystanders. He entreated the panel after they ahould bring in their verdict for the plaintiff, not to offer violence to the defendant, however richly he might deserve it, in other words, •not to lynch the villain Hopkins, but leave his punishment to God.' This was the most artful trick of all and best calculated to insure vengeance.

The jury rendered a verdict for fifty thousand dollars—and the night afterwards Hopkins was taken off his bed by lynchers, and beaten almost to death.

As the court adjourned, the strauger made known his name and called the attention of the people with the announcementJohn Tavlor will preach here this evening ai early candle light.'

The crowd, of course, all turned out. and Taylor's sermon equalled, it it did not surpass the splendor of his forensio effort. This is no exag^rmion. I have listened to Clay. Webster and Calhoun—to Dewey, Tyng and Bssc.wi—but have never heard anything in the form of sublime words even re-

One of them commenced: "Mr. Duponceau.our father died and made a will." "Is it possible? I never heard of such a thing." answered Mr. Duponceau. "I thought it happened every day," said the young man. "It's the first case of the kind," replied

JOKBS NEVER DIE,—Jokes are immortal. Capital or shocking they survive the most studied speeches of orators, the profoundest papers of statesman. If some antedeluvian editor treated his readers to one. we do not believe that all the waters of the flood could drown it. A good joke now a days, sues to help the roast beef and cherry pudding of a thousand families. It makes the circuit of the world, steams over the ocean, skates on telegraph wires, tunnels, mountains, rides expresses, excites the risibles of armies and evening circles, makee many merry, and harms no one. Verily, a good joke is a great thing* and a bad one is abominable. Let jocose people be wart. !A

I don't "know what it was like, exceptin' tbe breathin' of a snowy white goose, chucked in a tight bag, with its breast just out!

After the galls end ymigsters had walked round for a considerable spell, the music struck up—and such music!

They called it a German Porker, 'spose it was made by some of them Cincinnatti Germans, in imitation of the aquealin' at a pork packery, and I guess it was pretty good imitation.

The fellers caught the gals right around the waist with one hand, and pulled them right smack up in kissen' order, with the gals bo&oms agin iheir bosoms, and the gals chins restin* on tbe fellers' shoulders. At this the gals began to sorter jump and caper, like they were agoin' to pusn 'em away but the fellers' just caught hold of the other hand and held it off, and began to jump and caper loo. just like the gals. 1 swon upon a stsck of bibles you never seed such a sight!

I bounced stnack into the middle of the room. ^Thunder and lightning! everybody come here with shot gun*, six-shooters, and wutcher knives!" bawled I at the top of my voice "for I will be shot if any dad-blasted, long-bearded feller shall impose on gals that ar way where I am!" and 1 was just goin' to pitch right into 'em promiscuously when my merchant caught me by the arm. and said, "stop Ben." "I'll be ceased," says I. if 1 will see the wimin' folks imposed on? Look what them fellers are doin' and how hard the gals are rarein' and pitchin' to get nwuy from 'cm! Do you 'spose I can stand still as a mile post and see gals suffer so? "Look," says 1, "there is a gal almost broken down, and ready to give up to that "ranj otang of 0 feller!

They expect to be married some of these days, and they want to be accustomed to it, so they won't be a blushin' and turnin' pale when the parson tells the groom to salute the bride. There is nothing like being used to such things." "You may take my hat," says 1 to my merchant. "I was tuck in that time." 1 tell you though it was the first lime I ever seed the like before. 1 have seen the Indian hug and the Congo dance, but (ell you this red war waltz knooks the hat crown out of everything I ever seed-

ArruKS LOOKING UP.—The western farnv era are shsking their apple trees, and the more the apples fall ihe more they rise—in fact, they are higher on the ground, than on the tree.

The butter cured with this mixture appears of a rich and marrowy consistence end of fine color, snd never acquires a brittle hardness nor tastes sslty. Dr. Anderson say* *1 have eaten butter cured with tbe following com position thst hsd been kept for three yesrs and it was as sweet ss st first.'
