Squibs
Court, says Squibs, yes, Court, I was
up in the Court-house, looked at tlie .J udge,
liirv lnu'vnr? o i
audience, sill together made a hig crowd.
People must like court powerful well; some
1 presume come because they have to, some
because tlicy want to. I went there to sec
the thing work, see some fellows squirm,
and the lawyers blow and look big at the
witnesses. The blue papers with the superscription
on the back arrest the attention
of a good many. They arc annoying customers,
and it's singular how it works, 1
iiv??iv.tn um: JV1UM1 nuvu Sl> iUKl SO, 1111(1 SO
and so sued that fellow for spite, or as the
lawyers say, by way of facta lion is. Nice
way to push matters along. O this law
business, tlie fellow that gets into it gets
into hot water seven timqsheated, its Fourth
of duly times for the lawyers though, ami
like big niUscovy drakes when it rains they
spread out their wings, shake their heads,
look very knowing and pleased. Whftt a
confounded sight of quibbles and turns
these lawyers have, too, you'll see one fellow
jump up and object to this and that,
then another one will obicct to first onn'.s
objection, when the jiulgc comes ont from
behind his Spectacles and upsets both.?
"Well I'm satisfod of one thing, justice is a
little lame in a court-house. Peoplo go
to law to got justice, like some who go to
tlic Springs fo? health. "Well they may,
hut the idea strikes mo they will have to
pay for it. What a "strange set these lawyers
are, they'll got up and give something
particular bringer, and next day give particular
fits to what was praised up at first
as the sunium bonum. Might as well go
to a goats house for wool, as go to law for
justice, for it ain't there ; the poor fellow
when he gets in the law's meshes, like a
house-fly in a spider's web, is soon fixed
fast, and never gets away till his blood is
all sucked out, bnt the rich like the big
blue bottlo fly, break through and get out.
| Every day you hear soiue follow talk about
'< going to law, and what he'll do, now one
I of these lawing men pleased me a good deal,
! it seems lie had a case in court, for he sat
I close beside a lawver. Well witness wns
; brought up, lawyer opened on him and lie
got bothered, this pleased tlio follow, and
his eye winked as much as to say this side
up with care, all right. When lawyer 011
1 opposite side spoke, could sec tins fellow
| wince, looked like he might have had lock1
jaw, and imagined himself a goner. Well
his lawyer got up again and had a heap to
say, s'o thrt fellow's countenance brightened
up, and he'd shako his head, pat hi.< foot,
and I was satisfied he thought it was dead,
certain. The .Jury went out, and in less
time than you could say " John Robinson,
Ks(,.." came back, handed in a blue paper,
and clerk road verdict for plaintiff, damages
so much. You've seen a cabbage leaf after
a three weeks drouth in summer, so you
can imagine how that chap looked, ho wilted
down, 1'iid the last time I saw him lie
had a tumbler in his month and forty drops
of a reddish looking fluid hiding itself under
his calico vest, trying to sing
" A glass is good, u ^luss is good, and a pi j e
tot-moke in 1 tot weathor,
Hut law is ba<l. and the lawyer ia worse, nod
I'm n blamed stupid f?'lb>w,"
j No doulit that saiuo ft Mow thought before
1 h?; left home tlinf case was his'n, his lawyer
said so, and nil he had to do was to sue.
Now I reckon he's satisfied that law is law
and court is court. I tliiuk a chap is a
heap hotter off out of court than in it. I
like the .Judge, and the jury, and the lawyers,
I like their liquor and their cigars,
but I don't like tho practice of court. 1
wouldn't like to go to court. I wouldn't
like to go to court, for wlun a fellow get*
in once, Heaven only knows when lic'Il get
out. Pp you know I've a great notion to
study law ; there's lots of speeches in me,
big ones and little ones, and I think I
could let them out with considerable fuss.
Now there's nothing like a fuss in a spccch,

Youth cannot always last. It ijmiM give

wan once a mother and n child
niul tho mother loved her only child with
all the affection of her whole heart, and
. thought she could not live without it; but
! the Almighty sent a great sickness among
children, which seized this little one, who
lay on its sick bed, even unto death.?
Three days and three nights the mother
watched and wept, and prayed bv the side
of her darling child, but it died. The mother,
now left alone in tlie wide world,'gave
way to the most violent and unspeakable
grief, she lite nothing and drank nothing,
and wept fov tliree long nights without
ceasing, calling constantly upon her child.
The third night, as she thus sat overcome
with Kufl'oring in the place where her child
had died, her eyes bathed in tears and faint
from grief, the door softly opened, and the
mother started, for before her stood her departed
ohihl. Tt ho ? hcennin u honwuifv

When tho blood is equally distributed to

yoars 1 existed in n dungeon ten foet
srptnrol During six yours I had a companion
; during nine 1 was alone ! I nover
could rightly distinguish the face of liiin
who shared mv captivity in the eternal twilight
of our cell. The first year wo talked
incessantly together; we related our past
| lives, our joys forever gono, over and over
again. The next year we communicated
to each other our thoughts ami ideas on nil
subjects. The third year we had no ideas
to communicate; wo We to beginning to
lose the power of reflection. The. fourth,
at tho interval of a month or ho, wo would
opcrt our Hps to ft.sk each other if it were
possible that the world went on as gftif and
bmtling as when we formed a portion of
mankind. The fifth we were silent. Tho
sixth ho was taken away?T never knew
where, to execution or liberty. But 1 was
giau wneij nc was gone ; even solitude was
better than the pal?; vacant face. One day
( it must have been a year or two after my
companion left nie) the dungeon door was
opened, and, whcnco proceeding 1 knew
not., the following words wore uttered:?
" By order of his Imperial Majesty, I intimate
to you that your wife died a year ago.
Then the door was shut, and [ heard no
luoro; they had but Hung this gren(, agony
upon me, and left nie alone with it."

Sceno occurred:
" Doing oncc opposed to Mr. S . Into

to the Jury, upon n disagreement betw eon
them : " More my brother 3 and I differ.
Now thin is very natural. Men seldom see
tilings 'n the Fit me light: and tliey may disagree
in opinion upon tho simplest principles
of tho law, nnd thiit very honestly ; whilo
at the sumc true, neither cun see any earthly
roason why they should. And this is merely

that support it, would snyatQuco. tlmt I had
