S i ** THE CRTJDJAL WTJJES8.

In the spring of '48 I wascallcTi to Jack. son to attend Court, having been engaged to defend a young man accused of robbing the. mail. I had a long conference with my client, and he acknowledged to me that on the niirht when tnc mail was robbed he had been with a party of dissipated compan­ions over to Topham, and that on returning they met the mail carrier ou horseback com­ing from Jackson. Some of his compan­ions were v«?ry drunk, and thvy proposed to stop the Carrier aiid overhaul his bag.

a4»wsvbj! her side, and aakod her to state to me candidly the wh»l»case. She told me she had fared with Mrs. Mascby nearly two years, and during all that time she had nev­er had say. trouble before. About two weeks ago,.she said, her mistress lost a hun­dred dollars. '• •

«She missed it from the drawer,' the girl told me," and she asked me about it, but I knew nothing of i t - Tho next- thing I knew, Napcy. Luther told^Mrs. Nascby. that she saw me take the money from the draw­er:—that she watched me through the key hole. Then they went to my trunk, and found twenty-five dollars there. But Oh, sir, t never to^k it—somebody else put that monoy there ?

I then asked her if she suspected any one.

',1 don't know,' she said,' who could have done it but Nancy. She has never liked me, because she thought I w a» treated bet­ter than she was. She is the cook and 1 was the chambermaid.

She pointed Nancy Luther out to me.— She was a stout, bold-faced girl, about two and twenty, .with alow forehead, small grey, a pug nose, and thick lips. I caught her ghmcc at once as it rested upon the. fair young prisoner, and the moment I detected the look of hatred which I read there, I was convinced she was the rogue.

and having tied him to a tree they took the ! mail bag, and made off to a neighboring field where they overhauled it, finding some five hundred dollars.in'money in various tetters. He went with them, but in no way did he have any band m the crime. Tho30 who did it; fled, and as the carrier had re cognised him in the party, he had been ar­rested.

The mail bag had been founi], as well as tho letters. These letters from which mnner had been taken, were kept, by or­der of the officers, and dup'icates sent to the various persons to whom they were di­rected. These h-.tters had been given to nie for examination, and I had. returned them to tho prosecuting attorney.

I got through with my private prelimi­naries about noon, and as the case would. not come up before the nest day, I went into the court to see what was going on. — Tho first case that came up was one of theft, %nd the prisoner was^a young girl not more than sevdnxeen years of age, Elizabeth Madworth. She was pretty, and bore that fhild innocent look, which we seldom find in a c u l p ^ ! i f Sh%%as^!*arld frightened,

Mrs. Naseby resumed her testimony.— She .said she entrusted her loom" to tho prisoner's care, and that nono one else had excess there but herself. Then she described the missing money, and clos­ed by telling how she had found twenty-five dollars of it in tho prisoner's trunk.— She could swear it was the identical money she had lost, it being two tens and a five dollar "bill.

' Mrs. Naseby,' said I, ' when you first missed your money, had you any reason to believe that the prisoner had takeu it?'

'No, sir,'she answered. ••Have you ever before detected her in

but he could not speak plainly. He simply looked at mo through his tears for a' mo­ment, and then rushed to the fair prisoner. He seemed to forget where be was, for he flung his arms around her and she laid her head upon his bosom and wept aloud.'

I will not attempt to describe the scene that followed; but if Nancy Luther had not been arrested for the\heft, she woold have been obliged to seek the protection of die officers; for the excited people would have surely mained her, if they had done no more. Next morning I received ,a note, handsomely written, in which I was told that the within was but a slight token of gratitude due me for my efforts in behalf of a poor defenceless, but much loved maiden Itwas^siguod 'Several Citizens,', and con-contained one hundred dollars.,.

I next turned to Mrs. Naseby: 'Do you ever take a receipt from

me.'

'She told the truth, sir, about my pay­ments,' Mrs Naseby said.

*0,1 don't doub't it,' I replied; 'but ocu­lar proof is the proof for the court room.— So, if you can, I wish you would procure me the receipts.'

She said she would willingly go, if the court said so. The court did say so, and she went Her dwelling was not far off and she soon returned, and handed me four receipts which I took and examined. They were all signed in a strange^straggling hand by the witness. (

'Now, Nancy Luther,' said L turning to tho witness, and speaking in a quick start­ling tone, at the same time looking sternly in the eye, 'pleaso tell the court, and the jury, and tell me too where you got the sev­enty five dollars you sent to your sister in SomersT

Sit Upright Sit upright! sit upright my son! said a

lady to her son George, who had formed a wretched habit of bending whenever he sat down to read. His mother, had told him that he could not breathe unless he sat up right But it was no use; bend over, he-would, in spite of all his mother could say to him.

Sit upright, Master George! cried his teacher, as he bent over his copy book at school. If you don't sit upright like Mas ter Charles, you will ruin your health, and possibly die of consumption.

This started George; he did not want to die, and he felt alarmed. So after school, he said to Iris teacher,

Please sir, explain to me how bending over when I sit CKa cause me to have the consumption.

That I will, George, replied his teacher, with a cordial smile, . . '

Kouan-Ue, a celebrated economist of the Celestial Empire, who lived more thau two thousand years ago, made tho following just remarks:

"There is uo commerce permanently ad­vantageous but the exchange of things use­ful and necessary. Tho trade in articles of pomp, elegauoe or cariosity, whether carried on by exchange or money payments, suppo­ses the existence of luxury; now luxury, which is tho. abundance of what is superflu­ous among oertain citizens, supposes want of necessaries among others. The more hor­ses the rich put to thoir chariots, the more people will have to walk on foot; the more their houses are vast and magnificent, the more those of die pcor are small and miser­able; the more their tables are covered with dainties, the more people there are reduced to eat rice and barley.

Tho best that can be deno for men in a social state by means of industry and labor is that all should have the necessaries and tome the conveniences ef ljfe.

It will be diricult to show that this philos­ophy is not sound. The ambition fox lux • uiies is one of the loading evils of social life. Men are not satisfied with tho necesl. sariesof life. They must have the conven­iences. Nor is this enough. They want the luxuries, and when honest industry and trade will .tot secure them, they are tempt­ed to overreach, deceive, defraud^ Temp­tations multiply with luxuries. The object of social life is to mako people cdm--ft^Nshu IN^doate^tb^coAyc^S^oa^ cultivate -thek taste and elevate theif aims.
