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. Hlftcksloiu',
?'iii11y. AtchhoM, Joaquin Miller, Story,
Kent, T ipper, Swedes nucl Mai-duill, and
many oilier writers, ami every bo. iy sai?l
they "never he re I siclt a bu.i of eloquence."
Ami ho ar.ivl: "On f/ii> hvpotlicssis, my c'ieu;
must go free
And: "Again, on t/th hypothesis, it's morally
impossible thai he could begui'ty, don't you
sec ?''
And : "Then, on thhhypothesis, you really can't
convict
And so oil with forty-six more hypotheses, upon
none of which, Mr. Smith ably demons!rated,
could Screggs he derelict.
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."

A MOTHER'S DIARY.
UKAltTI'A sen ANTON mo:..
Morning!?Baby on the tloor,
Making for the fender :
Sunlight seems to make him sncc/e,
Baby "on the bender."
All the spools upset ami gone.
Chairs drawn into file,
Harnessed strings all strung across.
Ought to niako ono smile.
Apron clean, curls smooth, eyes bltto,
( Mow theso charms will dwludlc !)
For I rather think don't you?
Baby is "a swindle."
Noon 1?A tangled silken tloss.
Gutting in blue eyes:
Apron that will not keep clean,
If a baby tries !
One blua shoe untied, and one
Underneath the table ;
Chairs gone mad, and blocks uud toys,
Well as thay aro able,
Daby in a high-chair, loo,
Yelling for his dinner,
Spoon in mouth ; 1 think, don t you ?
Daby is a sinner
Night !?chairs all set back again,
Clocks and spools in order,
One blue shoe beneath (ho met,
Tells of the maurnuder.
Apron folded on a chair,
l'laid dress torn and wrinkled :
Two pink feet kicked pretty bare,
Little fat knees crinkled ;
In his crib, and conquered, too,
Dy sleep, blest evangel;
Now, I surely think, don't yoit ?
Dubv is an angel!
.
How Lksi.ik I>ii> It.?While the immaculate
C. 1*. hcslic was Land Commissioner,
u resolution calling for au inspection of his
books was adop.ed. The books ,'cre producud
iu d to time, and lo and behold ! they
were found to be iu tlie same condition as
when received from the bind r?not a pen
stroke iu any of them, lie said the law required
the books to be kept clean and ueat,
and as lie wrote a miserable hand, lie thought
he would comply fully with the law, and not
ueiaco tnem. lite committee were compelled
to accept this condition of things, and
as a consequence, for these and other reasons,
no suits were entered against Charles,
n ^withstanding the notorious "Hell-hole
Swauip" and other transactions, 'i'hc
' High Joint" may, perhaps, find an open
ing lor a suit. 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.

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

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-!

Maintaini.v. tiik Flow ok Milk.?
"What is (he best milk producing food that
can be fed to a heifer 21 months old, dam
Sheet Horn, sire Jersey, with calf two weeks
old? Cost of food not important so it produces
plenty of good rich milk, lleifer is
now giving 12 to 14 quarts of milk per day,
aud has all tho grass she can eat. Now
wliui elso shall be given her ? She lias
watt*always before her. Milk is wanted
Also, wheu should the heifer be
allowed to take the bull again?that is, to
keep up her milk producing qualities withi?nf.
iniiiA/ V" fin li.itiv fi.a (Kn luiif'nr hiiii nil
" j i "" ? "
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. Heifers thus
lid fvill be in condition to give milk continuously,
and may be permitted to come in
again at any time to suit the wishes of their
owners.? !*> <>/ L. H. Arnold.
