A. Learned Judge Outfitted.

,BV A.-IIEN'UICII.
' r, t
'Some years ajo a Mexican judge.
well known, in his district and abroad
as a very learned man, was relieved
of something valuable in a very
cunning manner. It happened on
this wise.
Walking up the court-house steps,
arm in arm with a friend, tho judge
felt for his watch to see if he was in
time. "As usual," he said to bis
friend, "I have again left my watch
at home under my pillow." Pressing
through tho crowd, the judge went
in and took his seat upon the bench.
During the forenoon an honest
looking man presented himself at
the door of the judge's residence
asking for the senora (lady of the
house). He carried under his arm
a very large and heavy turkey, and
when the'lady appeared he told her
that his honor, the judge, having
bought this turkey on his way to
court from an Indian, had requested
him to carry it to his house and had
kindly paid him for his trouble.
"His honor told me, too," tho fellow
contfaued, "to ask the senora to have
-iheUurkey propared for diuner to
morrow, as the judge will bring a
friend to dine with him. And also
he requests the senora to be so good
and send for his watch to the bed
room as he had left it as usual under
hisjpillow." The good lady handed
him the judge's watch and -he left
with it.
At tho dinner table the judge said
to his wife:
"My dear, will you please send the
servant up after ray watch? I left
it, as usual, under my pillow."
"Your watch 1 why, my dear, I
have sent that to you two, three
hours ago," said she.
"Sent it to me? How? My dear,
by whom?"
"Why, by the man who brought
the turkey."
"What turkey?"
"Why the turkey you sent'
"I did not send any turkey, nor
anything."
After the lady had explained, the
judge said :
"Well, well; the watch is gone,
my dear. That fellow must have
caught my words as I told Judge
that I had left it under my
pillow. But grieving will not bring
it back ; we have at least the turkey,
and I think I will do as the fellow
said, and will bring Judge to
dinner to-morrow ; so you had bet
ter havo it well prepared, and we
will enjoy a good dinner and try to
forget the loss of the watch for the
present. I say for the present, my
dear, for I intend to have the fellow
caught who played that trick. I am
pretty certain we will haye him
before we sit down to cat that tur
key to-morrow."
But the judge in his eagerness to
administer justice to the culprit had
counted the chickens before they
were hatched. That cunning fox
was going to catch the judge's
chicken once more without being
caught himself.
The next forenoon the good souo
ra was superintending the prepara
tion of that splendid turkey, in
person, seeing to the stuffing and
every other process that fowl had to
pass through as well as to all the
accompanhpents Qf it. Tho good
judge was presiding in his court
room, and no doubt during an occa
sional pause smacking his lips in
anticipation of the tine roast for
dinner. But alas for all human cal
culations! While the business of
the court and of the kitchen was
Blowly and surely progressing to itB
cloBe something happened which
showed clearly that somebody else
besides the judge had thought about
catching the . thief. When dinner
was just about ready, when the fine
turkey was waiting in the oven, uot
lo keep cool, but to keep warm, a
bareheaded individual presented
himself at the judge's door. He was
the very picture of a court clerk.
He wore a rather seedy looking but
perfectly clean coat, had a somewhat
pale and thin face, and the quill
stuck behind his ear. The lady of
the house being called, he addresfed
lier very politely, but like one who
is exceedingly glad. "Senora," he
-said, bowing deeply, " we have
caught the thief of his honor's watch.
The time-piece was found upon him.
He is about to be sentenced, but the
"jury refuse to pronounce the verdict
because they want to see the turkey
first. So his honor has sent me to
bring it, that they may see it before
it is served upon the judge's table."
Whatshould the good lady do?
She placed the turkey on a platter
in a basket, covered it up nicely and
handed it to the would-be clerk of
the court.
Ten minutes later the judge came
with his friend, arm in arm, prome
nading toward his house.
"Npw, my dear," said he after
introducing his friend, " now, my
dear, we will have that nice turkey
for dinner."
"Yes, my dear, as soon as the
clerk shall bring it back," said she.
"Whatclork?"
The lady explained, and the truth
dawning upon her she exclaimed :
"What else could I have done ?"
"Why," said the judge, "you dear
little goose, I don't, know. But one
thing I will tell you, the fellow has
outwitted us all."
The judge and his friend had to
dine upon something else that time.
One-third of all the gold mined
goes to wear and tear, one-third into
circulation, and one-third into the
arts and manufactures.
42 old.
All records point to gold and sil
ver as the earliest metals known.
The scriptures, the most ancient
writings we possess, abound with
uotices of them. You .will remem
ber that gold is mentioned in the
second chapter of GenesiB as in use,
and familiarly known before the
flood. The name of the first is pi60n,
that iB it which encompassed the
whole land of Havilah where there
is gold, and the gold of that land is
good. The Hebrew word for gold
is zeb, signinifying to be clear, to
shine; alluding, doubtless, to the
brillianc' of that metal.
The term "gold occurs frequently
in the writings of Moses, and that
metal must have been in common
use among the Egyptians when
Moses led the children of Israel out
of Egypt, which is generally believ
ed to have been 1048 years before
the Christian era.
Silver also was not only familiarly
known to the Egyptians in the time
of Moses, but as we learn in the
Book of Genesis, it was coined into
money before Joseph was set over
the laud of Egypt by Pharoah, which
happened 872 years before Christ,
and consequently 224 years before
the departure of the children of
Israel from Egypt.
If you refer to the 47th chapter of
Genesis you will find that Joseph
gathered up all tho money that. was
found iu the laud of Egypt and in
the land of Canaan for the corn
which they bought and Joseph
brought the money into Pharoah's
house. The Hebrew word kemep,
translated money, signified silver,
and was so called from its pale color.
Ypu will recollect that after tho
departure of the children of Israel
from Egypt the gold ear-riugs of the
females were sufficient to form the
golden calf which was impiously
worshiped.
In the museum at Copenhagen
there are many tools and weapons,
swords, daggers and knives, the
blades of which are gold whilst an
edge of iron is for the purpose of
cutting.
Olaf Bagen was a rich merchant
of Odeusc, in Denmark, and a man
of noble and generous sentiments.
He leut money to his King, Freder
erick the II; time rolled on and
Bagen had a large family, son and
daughters, and he became very poor
and went to his children for help
and refuge, but they treated him
badly. Bagen, sick at heart and in
want of the common necessaries of
life, felt deeply grieved at his chil
dren for such conduct, but he tho't
of a way to punish them and provide
himself with what he wanted at
their expense ; so he went round to
his friends and merchants with
whom he'had dealings, and returned
with a heavy coffer, which ho de
posited in a safe place, and placed it
under lock and key. He told them
that the contents of the box he in
tended to leave to the son or the
daughter who treated him best. It
was wonderful to see now how
ready and even zealous the children
ef Bagen were to relieve their fath
er. There was constant rivalry,
between them, who should receive
him best and attend to his wants.
The comforts of life were showered
upon him, and old Bagen at length
ended his days in peace. All his
dutiful children had been kind to
him, so the contents of the coffer
were to be equally divided among
them; there would be enough for
all. Bagen was conducted iu pomp
and honor to his last resting place,
followed by his surviving children.
Afterwards the will was read and
the coffer opened and it was found
to be full of stones. This you will
say was a just requital for avarice
and undutiful behavior.

Superstition.
Superstition has not only prevent
ed mankind from attaining a super
ior eminence of happiness, but, what
is more depl orable, it has added in
a great degree to an already exteu
sive catalogue of earthly miseries.
It is not by the ignorant alone that
superstitious beliefs are entertained,
but by my eminent men of the past
and present. Dr. Samuel Johnson
was a firm believer in ghosts and
second sight. Josephus, the great
Jewish historian, relates that he
witnessed the extraordinary sight of
an evil spirit being induced to leave
the body of an afflicted patient's nos
tril. James VI., who was noted for
his intellectual attainments and
theological learning, was a firm be
liever in witchcraft. So deep a hold
did this absurd nation have on him
that he published a work upholding
this doctrine,and actually persecuted
all who opposed the belief. Even
Martin Luther, the sturdy old re
former, informs us that the devil ap
peared to him and bo enraged him
that he threw a heavy inkstand at
him. whereupon tho father of all evi!
vanished. Socrates, the sublimest
character in profane history, firmly
believed that he was actuated and
directed by a demon 1 Blackstone,
the author of the incomparable com
mentaries on the laws of England,
was an undoubted believer in witch
craft. This list of superstitious vo
taries could be indefinitely extended
but enough has been said upon the
subject.
Some of the ancient superstitions
are very pleasing, and in the highest
degree poetic. There is a supersti
tious belief prevalent in the East
that eclipses of the moon are caused
by a demon who, ont of the malice
of his nature, afflicts the queen of
the 6tars. Aud on theso occasions
the inhabitants leave their dwellin ;s,
and, by pounding upon pans "and
pots, and shouting and discharging
fire-arms, eudeavoring to frighten
the monster away from his work of
destruction.
A popular belief is that the sound
produced by a little insect known as
a "death watch" portends the death
of some relative or friend. That the
noise made by this little creature
resembles the ticking of a watch is
undisputed, but that it in any wise
foretells the dissolution of a human
being is absurd. Observation has
established the fact that these little
insects infest decaying timber and
posts, and that the peculiar noise is
caused by them in gnawing and bor
ing through the rotten wood fibers
in quest of food.
The howling of a horaeles cur in
the stillness of the night has caused
more dread than would the roaring
of a wild beast. And many who
have braved the cannon's mouth will
tremble at the breaking of a looking-glass.
The number thirteen is supposed
by many to be uulucky, and if they
find themselves one of a party of
that number they will depart with
haste. Our Savior and his disci
ples were thirteen; the original
States of the American Union wero
thirteen. Other instances could be
cited to establish this principle,were
it necessary.
Superstitious doctrines, countless
in number, are founded on and mag
nified by an iguoranoe of tho plain
est truthR of natural science. If we
remove the cause the effect will
cease. Let more attention be given
in the instruction of youth to the
inculcation of the fundamental prin
ciples of the sciences, and less to
mere ornamental studies, and the re
sult will be advantageous to man
kind. Old 1-etler.
Old letters! It is so strange, so
very strango, to draw them from
their dark hiding-place in the dusty
cabinet, and tenderly unite the knots
of faded ribbon ; it is so sweet to
bend lovingly over the ycllow.time
staiued, ink dimmed page& ; and, oh,
it is so sad to think that the dear
hands which traced the friendly
words are folded in death over the
still hearts that prompted them !
Old letters! The red fire gleams
fitfully and brightly, aB though :t
would claim them for its lawful
prey ; but, ah, be merciful ; do not
burn, do not destroy them yet, the
old, old letters.
She is only an elderly spinster, I
hear you say that woman with
snow-touched hair and furrowed
cheeks; but, friend, note written to
her in years that are past by one who
was once her lover who is now no
more. And I think that there is
magic in old letters, because for a
single instant she is not sixty but
sixteen.
And that gray-bearded bachelor
yonder how eagerly he pores over
gilt-edged billet-doux, battered and
somewhat torn, but nevertheless
pregnant with the scent of violets
which time has only made more
sweet! Ah, tho perfume has
wrought a miracle; for once more,
with all the ardor of youth, he
thinks of a pair of scarlet lips, and
kiud reader, I pity him when he
wakes from his day-dream and re
members that a certain blue-eyed,
golden-haired girl of long ago is now
another man's wife and the mother
of seven children!
Old letters! A fond mother still
cherises somo filled with youthful
enthusiam, and written by her sol
dierboy, who fell at Shiloh. A wid
ow treasures those penned by the
husbaud who has gone before her;
and although the words upon the
pages may be dimmed by years, are
they not imprinted on her heart?
Old letters! old letters! They are
photographs of the soul ;- they are
souvenirs of the dead and buried
past ; they are so strange, so sweet,
so sad, you cannot, must not burn
them.
An Eccentric Woman.
Every day some fresh fact proves
that no one can draw the line be
tween ecc'entricity and iusanity. A
woman has just died in Berlin, at
the age of eighty-two, who for near
ly half a century had lived in almost
utter seclusion, a solitary female
servant being the only human beiug
with whom she had held any per
sonal communication. This strange
being, who is supposed to have been
crossed in love, was rich, and never
denied herself any luxury for which
she cared, but she never allowed her
bouse or furniture to be cleaned.
She lay in bed all day, rising just at
dusk, and spent the night iu pre
paring sumptuous meals for herself
and her companion. She was sur
rounded by dogs, cats and birds, and
she caused every work on zoology
to be purchased for her as soon as it
was published. After her death it
was found that she had left a hand
some legacy to her servant, and all
the rest of her property to a grand
niece in England, to revert, after the
latter's death, to an asylum for dogs.
For many years she wore no body
garment except a man's dressing
gown. On one foot she wore a
boot and on the other a shoe, and
her hands were encased in gloves
day and night.

Remedies lor IIosT Cholera.
Mk. Editok: A good many far
mers having lost their hogs by the
above disoase, your writer, although
not troubled that way, but wishing
to help others if possible, found two
remedies suggested by correspond
ents of the National Live Stock
Journal, and copies them below for
the benefit of those of your readers
who may need them for their stock.
The first one comes from France.
A friend there writes to "Amateur"
that iu his neighborhoood hog chol
era, called there "rouget," is nearly
always prevalent, but that he thus
far escaped losses by disinfecting his
piggeries aud by giving in each full
grown pig's food a toaspoonful of
leveuaijre phenique which is made
of 2)4 ouuees of pure carbolic acid
and one gallon of common vinegar,
and also by occasionally giving his
pigs a dose of nitre or sulphate of
soda.
The second remedy iB suggested
by W. W. Thornton. It consists of
quinine, twelve grains to each hog
weighing 250 lbs., or at tho rate of
five grains to each 100 lbs. Mr. T.
thinks it will save auy hog or pig
from dying that is yet able to eat.
He proceeds in tho following mau
ner. For forty pigs weighing 250
lbs. each, he takes one bushel of
common wheat bran, puts it iu a
tub, pours boiliug water over it,
mixing it as wet as it will stand not
to run. lie then covers it up with
a blanket until it has cooked down
to blood heat, then ho mixes tho
quinine into it, puts his pign into a
clean pen aud feeds the mixture to
them. Mr. T. has used this remedy
for twenty-five years and induced
his neighbors to do so, aud it baa
never failed. A. Hk.vkich.
A Talent for Conversation.
A talent for conversation has an
extraordinary value for common,
everyday life. Let any one who has
this gift enter iu a social circle auy
where. How every one's face brigh
tens at his entrance. How soon he
sets all the little wheels iu motion,
encouraging tho timid, calling out
unostentatiously the resources of the
reserved aud shy, subsidizing the
facile, and making everybody glad
and happy.
To converse well is not to do all
the talking. It is not necessary to
talk with very great brilliancy. A
man may talk with such surpassing
power and splendor us to awe the
rest of the company into silence ; or
excite their envy and so produce a
chill where his aim should be to
produce heat and sunshine. He
should seek the art of making others
feel quite at home with him, so that
no matter how great may be his at
tainments or reputation, or how
small may be theirs, they find it in
sensibly just as natural and pleasant
talking to him as hearing him talk.
The talent for conversation, indeed,
more than any thiug else in life, re
quired tact and discretion. It re
quires one to havo more varied
knowledge, and to have it at instant
and absolute disposal, so that he can
use just as much or just as little as
the occasion, demands. It requires
the ability to pass instantly and with
ease from the playful to the serious,
from books to men, from the mere
phrase of courtesy to the expression
of sentiment and passiou. Pro.

The Times of Bethlehem, Penu.,
calls attention to the fact that the
soapstone quarried at Easton is being
used more and more extensively, and
intimates that, being very soft, it can
be ground to a fine powder, and
used very largely for adulterating
sugar, flour, butter, etc. It looks as
though the time is not far distant
when an honest inspector will be
needed for every thing eatable.
A stranger passing a churchyard
and seeing a hearse standing near
by inquired who was dead. The
sexton informed him. "What com
plaint?" asked the inquisitive one.
Said the old man, "There is no com
plaint, everybody is satisfied."

fessor: "I must beg you to give me

A young lady recently married,
read Mother Shipton's prophecy for
the first time the other day. "Just
my luck!" she exclaimed, throwing
down the paper. "Hero I am newly
married and now the world's com

Love one human being purely and
warmly and you will love all. The
heart in this heaven, like the wandering-sun,
sees nothing, from the
dew-drop to the ocean, but a mirror
which it warms and fills.

world is growing better, says the
time may come when the lamb and
the lion shall lie down together, but
if it does the lamb will be inside

At a Russian hotel you are obliged
stipulate for bed-linen, pillows,
blankets and towels, or pay extra
for them, as the landlord assumes
that you carry these articles with
you.
