"I don't want it," said George," I

the last dollar on this place and Lucy
and Iarojtist beginning to feel com
fortable? I don't want any more land
anyway. Ve work hard enough now

'Why, more laud would mnko you
more money, George," said the other
rather jicevishly. "You could pay for
that land in a year or two just out of
the crops if you lived savin-; ami did
not waste your money on finery and
furuitur' and sich like," as he caught
the notes of i piano in another room.
"But what do I wau't with more
money V asked George, 1 can't eat it,
nor drink it, and I can Ml you I fee)
very much like a rich man with not a
cent of debt on my place. I have tug

best thing at the time. I don't regret
it, but still debt and I don't agree. I
mean to pay as I go the rest of my life
if 1 can, and tench the boys the same.
Great possessions ore a great care.
Now, is not that so, neighl-or? Just
speak from your own e.xperieuce."
"Young men are mighty 'fraid of
work in these times," grumbled on the
old fanner as he tried to straighten his
rheumatic limbs and bent back, which
had well nigh broken with overwork
the prime of hii manhood, "I just come
in to tell you about that place out of
neighborly interest, but I did not ex
pect to find you standing so in your
own light."
"Thank you kindly, neighbor, but I
don't see the way clear to add to my
farm. Sorry Vilson hasto sell,, but he
u?Jcrtooktoc-f much, and no worder.Le
broke down."
"Keeping a hired girl is enough to
break down any farmer's prospects.
His wife must take hold and work, too
if she want's him to thrive," said the
other mercilessly.
"She would have been in her grave
if sho had not had help," said George's
wife with some energy.
"Oh yes," said Mr. Davids as he
gothered up his hit and cane, "dread

the walk, George going with him to the

Not even a lawyer however skilled in
cross-examination, can make a witness
tell the truth, provided tho witness
wishes to evade it. It is imos.sible to
put a question in such .exact language
that it will demand the desired answer.
Indeed, nothing is more true than tlie
statement of Talleyrand, that language
is intended to cover up one's thoughts,
and no one eu'r practiced tho principle
contained in the statement more than
Tally rami himself. It was necessary
on a certain occasion in court to com
pel a witness to testify as to way in
.which a, Mr. -fin dth.J rented his, horse.
"Well, sir," said the lawyer, in a
sweet and winning smile a smile in
tended to drown all suspicion as to ul
terior purposes "how does Mr. Smith
generally ride a horse?"
The witness looked up innocently,
and replied:
"Generally astraddle, sir, Ibelieve.''
The lawyer asked again:
"Hut, sir, what gait does he ridal"
Tlie imperturable witness answered
"He ne er rides any gait at all sir;
but I've seen the boys ride every gate
on the farm."
The lawyer saw that he was on the
track of a Tartar, and his next question
was very insinuating.
"How does Mr. Smith ride when he
in in company with others! I demand
a clear answer."
"Well, sir," said the witness; "he
keeps up with the rest, if his horse is
able to, or if not, he falls behind."
Tlie lawyer was by this time almost
beside himse'f, and asked, "And how
does he ride when he is alone!"
"I don't know," was tho reply; "I
was never with him when he was
alone," nnd tho case wa3 dropped.

One of tho brightest lights of the
Galveston bar was standing on a cor
ner of Galveston avenue surrounded by
a groujie of admiring friends, when a
man with a peculiar stride and
close-cropjied hair walked np to th"
lawyer, and taking one of his hands in
both of his shook it as if he was going
to wrench it from his body saying:
"It's ten years since I saw you, but
I knew you as soon as I laid eyes on
you."
The lawyer was embarrassed, but the
rough looking stranger helped him out:
"You did me a kindness once, judge,
and if I ever forget it may my right
hand cleave to the roof of my mouth.
Don't you remember when you practic
ed law ten years ago up in Dawson
count) ? You did me a kindness I
neyer si".t!! forgit."
The friends of thfHawyer cast ad
miring glances, and one of them said to
the other that ho (tho lawyer) always
had a good heart.
"Yes," continued tho stranger, still
holding on the lawyer's hand, "I had
shot a man in self-defence, and the
sheriff was going to lock me up, when
you nobly volunteered tc go on mv
bond, And you didn't know me,
either."
The lawyer said he thought he rec
ollected the circumstance, while his ad
miring friends said "Just like him."
"You offered to go my bond, hut the
sheriff said he would be dashed if ony
little jack-legged shyster could ahovo a
straw lind off on him, nnd, if you re
member, Jedge, he refused to approve
the bond, and I was locked up, but I
was always grateful to you just the
same. You tried to help mo swindle

Rrazil, the only kingdom in Amer
ica (area, 3,2R7,9G4 square mitus; pop
ulation 1872, 9,700,187), is tho largest
of South American countries. First
occupied by the French in I00S, the
country early fell into Portuguese pos
session, afterwards passing tho Spanish
rule, but reverting to Portugal in 1640.
The legislntne power is vested in a
a Senate of 58 members elected for
life, and a Chamber of Deputies, 122
nieinliers, chosen for four vears by in
diiect suffrage involving a property
qualification. The executive power is
vested in the Emperor and his Minis
ters and Secretaries of State. For ad
ministrative purposes, the I'.razilian
Empire is divided into twenty provin
ces, comprising G42 municipalities),
each having a council chosen directly
by citizens jiosscssed of an annual in
come of $112. The army consist of
n,942 men, raised to 32,000 on a war
footing. Tho naval force embraces CI
steam ves-sles, with 230 guns nnd 4,136
seamen. Free public schools supported
by the Stato exist throughout tho em
pire, and in some of the provinces in
struction is compulsatorv. Rrazil has
about 200 newspapers, of which six
dailies aro published at the capital,
Rio de Janeiro. The Roman Catholic
religion is established, other forms be
ing tolerated, though they may only be
practiced privately, and dissenters en
joy civil rights, except that of election
to the General Assembly. Brazilian
commerce is flourishing, and there are
18 lines of steam vessels, receiving an
nual subsidy from the State to the
the amount of S7."0,000; besides this,
tho North American steamship line,
runn'ng between Brazil and New
York, enjoys a Brazilian subsidy of
$100,000 annually. The imports in
in 187G aggregated 586,630.000, and
the export, chiefly of coffee, hides and
sugar, 92,449,050.

A Paris paper tells tho following
touching jtory in its police court re
port: A poor, pale seamstress was arraign
ed for theft. She appeared at tho
bar with her baby of eleven months
on her arm. She went to get soma
work one day and stole three gold
coins of ten francs each. The money
was missed soon after sho left her em
ployer, and a servant was sent to her
room to claim it. The sen-ant found
her about to quit the room witfc-iha
thrco.gold coins -- JL fli nrni I
to the ser-ant, A. am i-oing to carry
them back to you." Nevertheless, she
wos-carried to the commissioner of
police, and ho ordered her to be sent to
tho polico court for trial. Sho was too
poor to engngo a lawyer, and when
asked by tho judge what sho had td'
say for herself, she replied: "Tho day
I went to my employer's I carried my
child with me. It was in my arms, as
it is now. I wasn't paying attention
to it. There were several gold colrw
on the mantelpiece, and unknown to
me, it stretched out its little hand and
seized three pieces, which I did not ob.
serve until I got heme. I at once put
on my bonnet, and was going back to'
my employer to return theinj when I
was arrested. This is the solemn truth,
as I hope for heaven's mercy."
The court could not believe thisstor.
They upbraided tho mother for her
impudence in endeayoring to palm off
such a manifest lie for the truth.
They bescught her, for her own sake,
to retract so absurd a tale, for it could
have no effect but to oblige the court
to sentence her to a much severer pun
ishment than they were disposed to in
flict upon one so young and evidently
so deep in poverty.
Tho appeals had no effect except to
.strengthen the poor mother's jiortiiia
cious adherence to her original story.
As this firmness was sustained hy that
If til If Of tnnnponM tv1.?l. .

Ihe court was at some loss to consider
what decision justico domanded. To
relievo their embarrassment, ono o!
the judges pro-msal to renew the
scenn described by the mother. Three
gold coins were placed on the clork'u
table. The mother was requested to
issuine the position in which sho
stood at her employer's house. Thcirt
was then a breathless pause in court.
Tho baby soon discovered the bright
coins, eyed them for a moment, smih d
and then stretched forth its tiny hand
and clutched them in its fingers with a
miser's eagerness. Tho mother wa at
once acquitted.
Moral Vultures. It is a sad com
mentary on the depravity of human
nature that, in e:crr community,
numbers of people can be found who
take a coarse delight and satisfaction
in everything that tends to drag down
and degrade their fellow beings. Tho
higher and purer the character of the
man or woman, the greater their pleas
ure in seeing it assailed, and, if -tossi.
hie, smirched and tarnished witho foul
slander and indecent accusation. Aud
when local journals can be found
to lend themselves? to this unclean
work, no man's good name is safe front
unjust aspersion. He may have
lived a quarter of a century in the
community as a good and upright citi
zen, loved by his family and esteened
-by-hh uuighberr and togietygenerallj;
he may be regarded by all honorabla
acquaintances as abovo reproach and
yet to the moral vulturs of society ho
is no better, no more entitled to re
spect and consideration, than the veri
est drab. That such henious wrongs
can be permitted in society would sim
ply be intolerable but for the fact thnt
the victims thereof are usually aud
properly cxa'ted in tho estimation of
all good peoplo and the carrion birds,
