There was a lawyer on Cape Cod, a
long time aso. the only one in those
and for aught I know
at present. lie was a man well to do
in the world, and what wa3 somewhat
surprising in a limb of the law, averse
to incur litigation. One day a client
came to him in a yiolent rage.
'Look here, Squire,' said he, 'that
blasted shoemaker 'down to the Pigeon
Grove has gone and sued me for the
money for a pair of boots I owed
him.'
Did the boots suit you?'
'Oh, yes
'Well, then, you owe him the money
honestly?'
'Of course.
'Well, why don't you pay him?'
. 'Why, because the blasted snob went
and sued me, and I want to keep him
out of the money if I kin
'It will cost you something
'I don't cara for that. How much
do you want to go on with?'
'Oh, ten dollars will do
'Is that all? Well here's an X, so go
ahead and tho client went off very
well satisfied with tho beginning.
Our lawyer next day called on the
shoemaker, and asked him what he
meant by instituting legal proceedings
against M.
'Why said he, 'I knew he was able
to pay, and I wa3 determined to make
him.; Ihat s the long and short of it.
'Well said the lawyer, 'he's always
been a good customer to you,-1 think
you acted too hastily..:. There's a trifle
to pay on account of your proceeding,
but I think you had better take those
five dollars and call it square
. 'Certain, Squire, if you say so, and
glad to get it , was the answer.
So the lawyer forked over the V and
kept the other. In a few days hi3 client
came along and asked him how he got
along with the case.
. 'Rapidly cried the lawyer, we've
non-suited him! He'll. never troublo
you! ' . ' .
.. 'Jerusalem! ? that's, great! I'd rather
gin fifty dollars than had him got the
money for the boots . ; -

'See!' said a sweet faced lady to a
young gentleman, with whom 5he was
walking past one of our fashionable
churches. 'See!' said she, pointing to
a lady who was entering the consecrat
ed building, that lady has on a thousand
dollar shawl!'
He looked at the lady, who for mere
ornamentfor it had not the qualities
of warmth, could make so prodigious
an outlay for a single piece, of garment.
But, say her poorer neighbors, she is
very charitable; she is secretary to an
association for. relieving the poor.
This made me think better of her.
Meeting a friend, he told him of what
ho had seen giving him also a discrip
tion of the lady, and of his pleasure
in knowing that so wealthy a lady had
a charitable heart.
'Wealthy! wealthy! Charitable heart!
My dear sir, she carries - all she owns
on her back, except her lap-do. Her
husband, poor devil, is bankrupt, and
no wonder. . Charitable?. Yes!, a poor

We mean to do. cur part townrd

which each reader who wishe3 to enjoy
the great luxury must do for himselt,
is the procuring cf a lot, 'greater or
smaller, of Lima beans for seed. Ihey

those who raisea una musw uvuw
article of diet last year, or by order
ing a quantity for seed at tho ;s:oro
where your garden seeds are uiually
purchased. , t .
After making due provision for se
curing a supply of seed, ! or actually
procuring it, the next thing which those
unacquainted with the cultivation of
the Lima bean may profitably do, is to
inform themselves as to its cultivation.
As this kind of information my bo
obtained from neighbors or from booKi
on gardening, we do not think it neces
sary to enter upon full details. There
ar, however, two points, in tho mode
ceivethe attention which is due to
them, about which we will very briefly
give some directions. , . . u
. As the Lima bean 13 a nativo of a
much warmer climate that of Peru
it requires a long and warm sea;cn for
its full maturity. It is therefore im
portant that it shoull have " an early
start, and in order to give it this, it is
a good. plan to take a "sod ol tome
thicknes3,; and after cutting it tip into
squares of six or eight inches,' t plant
one or two beans, on the rcverse side,
in each square. -These pieces of re
versed, sod may then , be put -into a
hot-bed, or placed in a south, window
of a cellar, or set'in a ; well-sheltered
spot on the south side of a house, be
ing covered up or secured from;, frost
and cold during nights;; A3, sbpn as
settled warm weather .comes, ,, these
squares may bo set into the part of
the garden where tney win ocxa-ix inusu
sun, heat ana sneiter. jn iu.a way
the crop will be a week, or two curlier,
and the latter portion of itmoro nearly
matured than it would otherwise 'hayo
been. " ' ' - '" - - !: ; ; )
The other point, often neglected,
consists in shortening in the stems at
the height of. 6 or -7 feet. If allowed
forun, they will extend to double that
length, sone tying strings from pole to
pole to admit of their doing so. If not
shortened in, pods continue to I e form
ed until late in the season," which never
mature; whereas, if this is done, the
earlier pod3 receive 'all the nourish
ment, are richer, and ripen earlier. ;
