And maybe should I write it down, Yeur own might )ve the same), Who, when you say He's good," will cry; " Indeed ! you think that's true ; . " But," very confidentially, " You wouldn't if you knew. One says t " What protty girl goes by!" "Oh, horror! you don't think So! since we're you and I, I'll say, her parents drink. And she well, I won't tell it out, Though I've no doubt 'tis true, Yon think she's nice and protty, but You wouldn't if you knew." If one sings sweetly, " How she 8ats!" If dressed in taste. " What style!" Supremely "vulgar, all her hats, Her drosses simply " vile," And when good Beacon Bugbee failed (A noble man and true.) She said, when we his lot bewailed, "You wouldn't if you knew." Let those admire and love who can This malice breathing dame, Who seems to think a prosierous man Must surely be to blame. That beauty is a mark of sin ; That goodnoss must be crime, She sees but thieves and rascals in The heroes of the time. Sometimes she doesn't hesitate, To tell us what she knows, And in nine cases out of eight, A lie is all she knows. For virtues sake I hope to find, One good old doctrine true, Some heat for such I should not mind You wouldn't if you knew. THE JUDGE'S ADVENTURE. Judge Crate of New York was a very eccentric man. Ho was very wealthy, and was highly ivspcted ior liis pubhu and private virtues, espec ially ior hi h charitableness to the poor; but he always dressed in a plain garb, and would hardly ever wear an over coat, whatever might bo the state of the weather. . On the morning ot the day in which the court "was to begin, the judgo set out beforo light nnd walljod slowly on, through the hail, rain and snow, to the appointed place. On arriving at Poughkeepiu'e, cold and wet, he walked to a tavern, where he found the lar.dlady making great prepara tions for the entertainment ot the judges, lawyers, etc. T':e judge was determined to have some ttpoi t, and in a pleasant tone addrcBsed the land lady: "I have no money, and was obliged to come to court, and 1 have walked through this dreadful storm more than twenty miles. I am wet and cold, dry and hungry. I want something to eat before ttie couit begins." The landlady put herself in a mag isterial posture, and put on a counte nance of contempt. "Very well, said she, "1 will give i. i :ii yon some cold vuiiais, n you wm go into the backyard ana cut auu spiii three armfuls of wood, and bring it into tlio kitchen, where the servants want to make a good tire to dry the gentlemen's great coals hn they come; and after you gut your vituals I want you to go away." After some ti oublethe judge secured a cold bite, and then the landlady told him to be off, as she needed the fire to dry the gentlemen's great coats and umbrellas by. 'And among tho rest," she said, "we expect Judge Crane." "Judge Crane," said the judge; "who is Judiro Crane?" "The circuit judge," sai'd she; "one of the supreme judges, you old fool!" "Well " said the iudje, "I will bet a goose that Judire Crane has not had, and will not nave a great coin, on u back, or an umbrella over his head i bin da v." "You old goose," said sh, "I care i.nthino- ibi vour bets. Eat and be off, I tell youf Judge Crane is to be here, and we've no room tor you." I don't care," said he, "one rye straw more for J udse Crane than I do tor myself, and it has got to be so late that it he has to come at this time of day. he would be more likely to go direct to the court nouso auu naj uniil dinner time, than to go to any tavern; and if business were very urg ent ho would be likely to stay away from dinner. I know something about tbe old codger, and some people say he is a rusty, crusty, msiy oi.i iuge, Trelty talk, indeed," said the laud lady, "about the supreme juuge. "I tell you," said the judgOJudge Crane is not the supnmie judge; ami ; ,Werj(L.Uja.Jio, more fat to ia.rrf1 '" tnd ' toe on ne.t iiul- . her ind ,wr .... .4..-u. - .K- would seo that he did not disturb ., ' .1. .,1 (,. ...I.r.a al.oJ,.( hn m.nnr tn lirinT 111 in .fc . ... . . might put up mere; wiiiie orae vi me girls declared if he did come, ihty woul J use some of his own expressions which he used respecting J udge Crane, "Let me aee, tatd one, ."rustv, crusty." "Yes, and frsty o'J fudge," tayt taothef. A hen the dinner was announced. tne court, not Doing thronged, was immediately adjourned, and the day being stormy and cold, the judges and lawyers poured intd the sheriff's tav ern, where thev were sure of rood fare all except Judge Crane who walked to a store and purchased a valuable shawl, and out it into his pocket on the inside of his coat, (hen he walked quietly to thfl tavern. While he was thus detained the land lady entered tho dininifrootn and earnestly inquired if Judge Crano had come in. The answer was: "Not yet, madam, and perhaps he may not come." Tbo landlady, who was anxious to pay the highest respect to tho supreme judge, retired to the kitchen not a lit- llo chagrined and disappointed. In tho meantime the judge had arrived, and being at proper times very social and at all times fond ot cheering the minds of those present, he l)egan to make some pertinent remarks, and be- gan telling some lively anecdotes, cal culated to convey good morals, which kept the whole company in a contin ued roar of laughter. At this instant oiio of the waiting maids entered the room to inform the gentlamen that they might sit down to dinuer. She did her errand and hastened back to her mistress with the tidings that tho old'fusty fellow with thebroad-brimed bat on was right in among the gentle men, talking as loud as ho could, and all the judges and lawyers wore laugh ing at hire. "Then go," says she, "and whisper to the old man that I wish him to como directly down to the kitchen." 1 ho errand was done accordingly, and the judgo iu a low tone of voice, said to tho girl: "fell your mistress that I have a lit tle business to do with some ot these lawyers, aiii when done I'll be off in the course of two or three days. 1 ho girl returned and faithfully re hearsed l ho message, and added that she believed the old fellow wasdruuk, or ho would not have said: ' As soon as my business is done, I'll be off in two or three days." "Well. Beltv." said tho mistress, "go back, and when tho gentlemen begin to Bit down, do you stand by the head of tho table and whisper to some gentleman that I wish a vacant olace left at the head ot the table tor judge Crane, and then do you hasten back." Betty again repaired to her post at the head of tho table, and softly iu- formed a gentleman of the request of her mistress. "Centainly," said the gentleman. Betty then hastened back to assist John. Thu'gentlemen now sai down to an excellent repast, and after a short j;race, delivi red by Judge Crane, in which he adored tho lather of all mercies for feeding all his creatures throughout tho immensity of space, invoked a blessinc on that portion ol earthly bounty then before them, and supplicated the Uivine mercy mrougn the merits ot our Redeemer, the gen tlemen began to carve and Berve round in usual form. As the judge was of a singular turn it almost everything, and had taken a fancv that if a person eats light food at the same meal, and that which is more solid aud harder of digestion, that the licbt food should be eaten first, he therefore filled his plate with sdme pudding made of milk, rice an;l egg, and placing himself in rather an awkward situation, with his I ft el bow on the table, and his head near the plate, began to cat according to hi common custom, which was very fast, although he was no great eater. Some of the gentlemen near the iudire. followed his example as to par- taking ot tho punning Deiore iuu meat, of course a large deep vessels, which had contained that article, was uearlv emptied wnen Mary approach . . . . . .1- V. . U .. ed with her two additional tureens of gravy, according to tho command of her mistress, and as she set down the last near the judge, he said to her in an austere manner, "Girl, bring me a clean plate to eat salad on." The adrupt manner in which he ad tiresseu uer, nun nur uigk in!? him there in that position, so dis- consirledthe poor girl that she did not observe that any one except the judge had partaken of the pudding, uer did sue know wnai ne meant oy salad, but she observed that the large pudding pan was nearly empty, and then hastened back with her utmost speed to her imstiess. 'Why, madamc, that old fellow is there yet, and he is certainly crazy or drunk, for be is down at the table, and he harf eaten all the rice pad ing I already and his now is right down iu a plateful' now, shoveliug it in bko a hog, and he told me, as it he was lord a clean , ... . . .1.1 l!1 I. ate 13 eat saht.I on. nu t me, whevecan we get salad at this time of year? The gentlemen have not done carvinrf, and not one has b-g" i . to eat meat, much less a tubful of pudding." "Aye, he'll ect a clean plate," sayi 'Martha, "before gtntkmcu waut clean plates." "I'll clear him out," says the mis tress, and starts for tho dinning-room, burning with indignation. The judge was remarkable for not giving unnecessary trouble to Any body where he put up. and coneralfy ate whatever was set before him with out any remarks, and seldom mado use of more than one plate ot a meal, but at this time'he had observed near him a dish of beautiful raw white cabbage, cut up and put in vinegar, (which the Germans at Pontrhkecpsle called "ccld slaw," and which he called salad), snd ho wished for a separate plate to prepare some of it for his own iancy. Tho oarvina and serving was not yet finished, when he expected tho clean plate, and when the landlady arrived at the dcor of the dinning-room, determined to drive f mm out. one advanced with a farm Blep to tho door, ane fixed her keen eye nrmiy on the judge, wnen lie turned his eye that way, and observ ing her, said, mildly: "Lanlady, can I have a clean plate to eat some salad on?" "A clean plate and salad!" retorted ho landlady, indignatly. "I , wish you would come into the kitchen until the gentlemen have dined; I had reserved that seat lor Judgo Crane." Tho company were struck with astonishment, and fixed their eyes alternately on tho landlady and on the judgo, and sat or stood in mute suspense, when tho judge grace-fully raised himself up in hm chair, care lessly folded his arms across his breast, and then, putting his head awkwarkly on one side, remaiked: "You reserved this seat lor Judgo Crane, did you, landlatuly?" "Iudeed I did," said she. "It was very kind," said ho, in an ironical tone, "but if you will step to the door and Bee i he is coming, or send one of the servai ts to call tor him, with your permission and the approbation of these gentlemen, wi'.h whom 1 have some business to do, 1 will occupy this Beat until you shall hud the Judge." "Fin4 tho judge!" said she, ,vih emphasis; "go look for him yourself, not send me or my servants. I gave you your breakfast this morning for chopping a little wood, because you had no money, and 1 expected you would go away quietly, and keep away, and now you, must come hcie to disturb gentlemen at dinner." Here the whole joke bunt upon the minds of the gentlemen present, who fell into a loud fit ot laughter. After the tumult had a little subsidod, the judge said mildly: "Did I chop wood to pay tor my breakfast?" "Indeed you did," said sho, "and said you had no money." . "I to'd you the truir., said the judge, "but I have a beautiful shawl worti more than ten dollars, which I just now bought, and will leave it with you in pawn, if you will let me eat dinner with these gentlemen." Here thfe gentlcmou were biting their lips to keep from laughter. "How did you buy tho shawl worth more than ten dollars without money?" "I bought it on credit," said he. "And where did you find credit to that amount?" said she. ''That's a likely story, and somo tiling like your abuse of Judgo Crane, this morning "said sli. "How could I abuse the judge if ho was not present?" said he. "Why," says, she, "you called him a rusty, fusty fudge and old codger, and said you din not care a rye struw, more lor him than you did "lor your self." Here the whole company were in an uproar of laughter again. As soon as it had a little subsided, one ot the gentlemen asked the landlady how sho knew that tho gentleman she was addressing was not Judge Crane? "He looks more like a snipe than a crane," said she. Here tho loud laughter burst forth a third time. After a little pause, the judge said: "1 rau-t confess that I am a bird ot uot very fine feathers, but I assure vou that I am a crane, and a crane is often a very useful instrument saw a very good one in your kitchen this morniiiL'; nnd sometimes an in strument called a 'crane,' is of incal culable use, madam." Before she had tune to reply, some of the gentlemen with whom ne was acquainted assured her that she was talking with the presiding judge. Aslomsi cd aud confounded, she at tempted some excuse, and hastily asked his pardon for her extreme rudenees. The judire had by this time, unob served, taken from his pocket the beautiful shawl aod folded it at ful length one way, and in a narrow? form the otter, and it beins of very fine textuie, appeared more like an ele caul sah than like a valuable shawl, Then he arose with graceful dignity and with a half smile he advanced few steps toward the landlady, say It it not my prsvince to pat Jon but to judge; and I judge that yoil and I shall hereafter be friends, and I judgo that you will, without hesita tion, receive this as a present, if not as a pawn." So saying, he gently laid it over her shoulders and across her arms, Saying: "Tako it, madam, and do not attempt to return it, font was purchased on purpose for a pres ent tor you. She hastily retired in cocfusiou, hardly knowing what sho did, and took with her the shawl worth twelve dollars instead of ten. And here ore three parties who had each two good things. The landlady had a good shawl and a good lesson to meditate npon; the gentlemen had a good dinner and a good joke to talk over; nnd the judgo had good inten tions in the joke, and a good will and - -ability i.

About 100 miles of tho road lies across the California desert. Aoross this stretch mails and passen gers are soon to be oartied by steam. Messrs. Gaskill aro industrious inven tors, nnd have obtained a number of patents. One of their last inventions is a steam-wagon, designed more particularly for tiaveling level and Bandy roads. A working Inodel, has been mado which fully demonstrates the practical value of the invention. One of tho brothers has just pur chased a suitable engine and boiler, at San Francisco of about two-horse . power. Tho wagon wijl be made in their shop at Campo. It will have two driving wheels of seven feet diameter and twelve inches width of tire. The whole apparatus will weigh about two thousand pounds, when supplied with fuel and water, and ready for business. It is intended to make, an average speed of eight or ten wiles per hour, carrying five or six persons nnd a moderate weight oj baggago and mails. It will consume about ten gallons ot water per hour. Thcro Is plenty of fuel in the mes quit groves on the desert, and among the willows and cot ton woods on New river and the Colorado. One man can manage the whole thing. Messrs. Gaskill propose to have the new machino making regular trips across the desert by October 1st. Their well known energy and enterprise makes it very certain thai their ex pectations will be fully realizoJ. Yuma Stntinel, The Milwaukee Sentinel, Radical,' says: The old Grant, the Grant who' made the Senate "ring" his only coun sel, the Grant who invited political wirepullers, personal friends and relatives to deal in spoils, would be a' burden too heavy tor the Republican parly to carry. If the politicians suc ceed in nominating him on the plat form they have proposed, ho will bo defeated, as he ought to be, and the Republican party might as well begin to look around for a convenient grave; Iu the Louisiana and Florida scan dals the witnesses are Republicans, and yet it is tho fashion among Re publican newspapers to denounce - tl.em as perjures. Die conclusion is irresistible, in the estimation of tho New York World, that if all tho Re publican leaders in Louisiana wero knaves, as is now claimed by their Northern associates, tho preteneBcs upon which they overturned the actual vote of the Slate were tho shameless devices of fraud. Tho Philadelphia Times says: If Iayes cannot .make a speech let him decline, or pray, or tako up a collec tion. It he persists in this sort of thing, a long-suffering publio will rise in ill might and demand a third term for Grant, who mado no -speeches, or ook out for a socond edition of Andy Johnson, who spoke all the time, 'and was always entertaining if not always sensible. "Breasts," says a fashion item, "art very much used this year for hats at the seaside." BreasU for hats! What in tho world does this mean? Wheu we were in the habit of spending our summers at the seaside, young ladi. t' always removed their bats when they reposed their heads on that is, wh n they reclined their beads against the breasts of the young men. Fashion changes, we know, but this is a depart i re we don't thiuk much of. Xorris town HtraU. "John Sherman has saved in eigh teen years from salary of 43,000 an estate valued at 12.000,003.
