;fn ?-i?iwmni n : THE FIEST CLIENT. [/I Ley al Ditly to If fifty Without Chorus to the Air of "The Kitty's Old Courtfr."] John Smith, a young attorney, just admitted to the bar, Was solemn anil sagacious as?as yuug attorneys are; And a frown of deep abstraction held the seizin of his face, The result of contemplation of the rule in Shelley's case. One day In term-time Mr. Smith was sitting in the Court, When some good men and true of the body of the county did 011 their outlt report. That hcretoto.e, to wit: upon the second day of May, A. D. 1877, about the hour of noun, in the county and State iilorc.-aid, one Joseph 1'itc i,i" N,id count v. did then and fc/v> "ftp"' ? * ? - * thvro feloniously take, steal att>l carry nwuY One bay horse, of tkevulucof lifty dollars, uiore ur loss, (Tlie same then a nil there hulug of the property. .roods and chattels of one 11ezekiah 11 es.-> i; Contrary to the statute in such ease expressly uiatlc All J provided ; nttd against iho peace and dignity of the State wherein tho venue had been laid. Tho prisoner, Joseph Scrogga, wu? then nr. ruigncd upon this charge And plead not guilty, and of this he threw hinisolf upon the county at largo ; And said Joseph heing poor, tho Court did gra , ? ciously appoint Mr. Smith t? defend hint- inncli on lite same principle that obtains in every charity hospital, wiiero a young inc Ileal student is often set to rectify a serious injury to an organ or a joint. The witnesses seemed preju Heed against poor Mr. Scruggs; And the l>istnet Attorney made n thrilling speech, in which he told the jury that if they didn't liud for me Slate ho reckoned he'd iiave to "walk their logs Then Mr. Smith arose and made 'tis speech for Hie defense, Vi herein he quote.1 Slinkspcarc.

Hut the jury, never siin ing from the box wherein they sat, returned a verdict of "guilty;" and his Honor straightway sentenced Scroggs to a three year term in the penitentiary, in a heavy fine, and the costs on top of thai; And the prisoner, in wild delight, got up and u?iii;tru mm ssuug ; AnJ when iliey asked him ilic reason of Ins mrange behavior, lie said: "it's because I got off so easy, for if there'll ha' been a few moroof ihem ilurnc'l /.?//?o//ir t.t I should certainly have been hung." ?Irtcin Jtu44tU :* ScfUner.

They will certainly try it. ? ? Tho hanging of the wretched negro, Gush Harris, is to take place on the last day of this month. Sheriff Huston informs us that he has not yet decided upon the spot for the execution. In the meantime the condemned man makes a confession to Mr. Gaston that he alone devised the murder of Mr. IIolluway and perpetrated it, no otic assisting hiui, and no one being privy to the deed. This, however, is clearly not true, as any sensible man may judge who heard the evidence upon the trial ? particularly Wince ('oldwell's IhTore the final hour, Cusli may probably tell another tale. ?Milgejitld Adcertis- r. i'L-l-'l-JL. 1 1 lag i--- 1 ? ?1 LI iJF LYING IN BED WITH A CORPSE. Lt is said that Jordan, the Now York Greenwood diu^.uicr, recently mot with (ho following rather amusing experience iu his extensive travels. Ou going to u hotel in | one of our large cities he was assigned to a | rooui previously partly occupied. After being shown the way by the polite aud accommodating .clerk, lie went to his apartment, found the door open, a candle diuily burning on the ccutro tabic and the only i bed iu tlie room ocoupicd by the stranger who was to be his room-mate for the night. The unknown man seemed to be taking his rest, aud not wishing to disturb him, Jordau qmetly disrobed himself, said his prayers, blew out the candle and Went to bed. Before he had quite fallen to sleep he was somewhat startled by the entrance of a young gentleman and lady, wlio relighted the candle ami soberly seated themselves in a corner of ihe rootu in lull view of the hero ,e ...i no.- i i-n...i in una iiivjiiiciiii. j oo milliners uiiuiifu away in u suggestive and affectionate uiautier juat ;i?> lovers always do. Tho novelty of tit. situation seemed to have its effect upon them, and after sundry comments on the weather, the latest gossip and small society t.i!;;. tho pair settled down to 1 business."? All of this time Jordan was an interested listener, and he was prepared for the kisses which fell upon lite willing lips of tho inamorata. IFo hunched his bcdicllow with < !iis elbow, but the stranger slept on. Then followed a scene of affectionate demonstrations between the couple in the corner ? Jordan determined to wake liis unknown friend, so that he might see the fun. Raising ills baud, lie laid it upon the face of the uucousciotu sleeper, and then his hair, iu holy horror, stood on cud. '1 he lace was eold ami clammy?lie was slcrp.'mj u njj-j.sc! Shooting up straight through his canopied couch dor Jan appeared before the startled pair a veritable ghost. The young man and lady disappeared down the stairway in wild affright, closely followed by the uuwitiing author of this startling escapade.? Tho clerk of the hotel had perpetrated a practical joke on the "commercial traveller." The scene in tlie office is said to have been very ludicrous when tin three parties appeared before the bar. .Ionian <-u tlr JuiLih-! Cany u fancy anything more ii-itwHc?

" the good yush grass she can eat it is not advisable to Vivo any extra feed, uor is it easy to find a find which, fed in connection with grass, will uucrouse the flow. Meal, very finely grouiu and scalded will, after a little, improve theflavor and richness of the milk, but it will mi be likely to increase the quantity so loug ap grass is plenty and fresh, nor will it pay in the long run to erowd a heifer so burd so early in her milking season. As soon as grass begins to fail, either in quantity or freshness, it will contribute both to the milking capacity of the heifer and to the welfare of her owner to give extra feed to keep up the flow produced by grass. Nothing further should bo desired in a heifer, especially one less than two years old. *Vrr4ie flow of milk can be most readily and Cheaply prolonged by supplementing the Iviliiig grass with some good soiling crop, such as mown gr.e-s, green peas mid oats, or green clover and fodder corn, used together; the soiling food always to be well wilted bol'ore feeding, Hut if expense is not to be counted, the sauio result can be obtained by feeding finely ground oat and corn meal and bran, taking equal weights of each, aud mixing with the day s feed a piutoi oil uieal. This will give a highly flavored and rich milk, and if fed as freely as it can be without producing scouring the flow will keep up to :iii amount that will surprise those who have been in the habit of letting cows as well as heifers run down with the failing grass; and it will prove an equal surprise to tlmsc who have been in the habit of feeding seaptily to note to what an extent the uiilkjpy e-'ivieitv of heifers can be cultivated by liberal but judicious feeding.
