A Lawyer's AdventureAbout three or four years ago, more or I less, 1 was practising law in Illinois in a | pretty large circuit. I was called on one day in my ofRcc, in the town of C , by a very pretty woman, who not without tears, told me her husband had been arrest od tor hor.se stealing, She wished to retain me on the defence. I asked lier why she did not goto Judge IV., an cx-.senator ot' the United States, whoso oflico was in the panic town. I told her 1 was a young'man at the bar, &e. >She mournfully said that ho had asked a retaining fee above her means and besides did not want to touch the ease, her husb.T.d was suspected of belongmgjo an cxtensi ve band of horse thieves and counterfeiters whose headquarters were on Moore's prairie. 1 asked her to tell nift tlie whole truth of the matter, and if it was true her husband did belong to such a band ? " Ah sir," said she, "a hotter man at heart than my George never lived ; hut he liked cards and drink, and I am afraid they made him do what he never would have done it' he had not drank. L fear that it can he proved that he had the horse ; he I didn't steal it; another did, and passed it to him." 1 didn't like the case. 1 knew that there ' was a great dislike to the gang located where she naiueu, and feared to rink the case before a jury. She seemed to observe my intention to refuse the case j and burst into tears. I never could see a woman weep without feeling like a weak fool myself. If it had'nt been for eyes brightened by "pearly tears," (blast the poets that made them to come in fashion by praising 'em) I never had been caught in a lasso of matrimony. And iny , would-be client was pretty. The handker- i chief that hid her streaming eyes didn't hide her ripe lips, and her snowy bosom rose and fell like a white gull in a gale of wind at sea. I took the case and she gave me the particulars. The gang of which he was not a member, had persuaded him to take the horse. He j knew the horse was stolen, and like a fool | acknowledged it when he was arrested.? ! Worse still?he had cut the horse's tail and inane to alter his appearance, and the opposition could prove it. The trial came on. 1 worked hard to get a jury of ignorant men, who had more heart than brain ; who, if they could not fathom the depths of the argument, or follow the labyrinthine mazes of the luw; could feel for a young fellow in a bad fix, a Weep ing pretty wife, nearly brokenhearted and quite distracted. Knowing the use of "effect," I told her to dress in deep mourning, and bring her little cherub of a ljoy, only three years old, into court, and sit as near her husband as the officeiy would let her. T. tried that game once in a murder case, and ft weeping wife and sister made a jury render a verdict against law, evidence and the judge's charge, and saved a poor fellow that oucrht to have been hum? as liiirh ns o o o i laimm. The prosecution opened very bitterly; inveighed against thieves and counterfeiter#, who had made tho land a terror to Htrangern and travellers, and who had robbed every farmer in the region of their Imest horses. It introduced witnesses, and proved all and more than I thought it would. The time came for me to rise for defence. Witnesses [ had none. But 1 determined to make an effort, only hoping so to interest the judge and jury os to seeure a rerecommendation to gubernatorial clemency .....i ~ a., r i.:.. <(imi it nniiunuu. nu i p uiJWU ins picture.

I drove slow, in hopes that they would go on, and I should so.o them no more. It was near dark when 1 saw a tavern sign ahead. At the same time 1 saw their wagon stood before tho door. 1 would have pressed on, but my horse needed rest. I hauled up and a woman oamo to the door.

The party interposed, and very easily quelled the assailant. One offered me a cigar, which I reluctantly refused, but a glance from tho woman induced mo to accept. She advanced and proffered me a light, and in doing so slipped a note into my hand, which she must have written a moment before. Never shall I forget the words. They were : U li.lin.iiM t tl _< 1.

It may be in the presence of a little child, or it may ho onclosed in a .stooping and wrinkled hody, treading the downward path to the grave. Or, perhaps, in a cheerful spirit, looking upon the ills of life as so many stetxs to wards heaven, if only bravely overcome, and mounted with sinless foot. \Vc knew such an angel once, ami it was a drunkard's child. On every side, wherever sho moved, she only saw misery and degradation, yot she did not fall, llcr father was brutal, and her mother discouraged, and her home thoroughly comfortless. But she Mtl'll'f'bill filomr wiHi iinmil iiiirliifninn l.nnt. # pp ?--n ? , ,n ,u" iu^ with an almost saintly patience tlio infirmities of him who gave hot* existence, and then hourly embittered it. Night after night, at the hours often, twelve, and even one, barefoot, .shawlIons, and bonnetless, has she been to the den of the drunkards, and gone staggering home with her arm around her father. Many a time has liev flesh boon blue with tho ui irk of his band, when alio has stepped in between her belplesy mother ami violence. Many a time has she Nit upon the eurbstone with bis head in her lap; many a time known how bitter it was to cry for hunger when the money which should have bought bread was spent in gin. And tin' patience that the angel wrought within made her face shine ; so that, though never acknowledged iii the courts of this world, in thokingdoin of heaven she was waited for 1 >y assembled hosts of spirits, and the crown of martyrdom lay ready waiting for her young brow. And she was a martyr. Her gentle nurit went uj> from a couch of anguish?'anguish brought on by ill usage and neglect. And never till then did the father recognize the angel in the child ; never till then did his manhood arise from the dust of its dishonor. From her humhlo grave he wont away to hoop his resolves for tho better in bitter tears ; and he will tell you to-day how the memory of her much enduring life keeps him from the howl; how he goes sometimes and stands where her patient hands have led him, while her ehcek crimsoned at the sneers of those who scoff at the drunkard's chilli. Search for the angels in your households, and cherish them while they arc among you. It may he, that all unconsciously, you frown upon, when a smile would lead you to a knowledge of their exceeding worth. They may bo among the least cared for, most despised ; but when they arc gone with their silent influence, then will you mourn for them as for a jewel of great worth. - - Magnanimous Act.?Mr. L^fevro. n wealthy sugar planter of Lafourche, died recently without issue?his wife having preceded hi in to the grave".
