[A night has paar I away.

He Binga: Ohl "John Anderson, my Jo John," Is a right good song, 'tis true; Bot Darby and Joan were two old fools, And for nie that would never do; For I like to be off with the old lovo, And Pd like to be on with the new." So the night winds sighed and the trees above Looked down on thc same old story, Of first wives gone to the kingdom of love, And second one? ont in their glory. Reproach him not, yo sisters! Nor deem tho dead wife wronged, He tho't upon no other while To her he still belonged: "And while ?he lived, sho lived in clovor. But-when ?he died,'she died all over!" A CASE WITH A LADY IN IT. I had just taken possession of the worst room in Digga' tavern-I was a ?onng lawyer on my first circuit, and >iggs kept his best accommodations for the old stagers-when the words, "I say, Bill," and Tom Mansfield burst upon me at the same instant . Tom and ? had been cronies from the time we had committed our first juve? nile trespass on Deacon Boxley's water? melon patch, till we afterwards studied the action of that name together in Judge Thompson's office. "I say, Bill, I've got a case, and want your assistance in it." "Ah !" said I, in a consulting tone. "A will:case," he continued, "foll of the nicest kind of points, und tho prettiest woman in tho world for a client!" .'What about fees?" I inquired, by way of keeping up professional appear? ances. "Hear the mercenary wretch 1" ho ex? claimed. "If we succeed, there'll be plenty of money; if we don't, it will be a noble cause to fail in." "That's what they said of the dash? ing young chap that broke his neck try? ing to make 2.40 time with the oh ario i of the san, but it didn't mend his neck." - "Confound your mythology; business is business. Let me state the case." "Well, state away." This was it: John Andrews had settled in the coun? try when it was yoong. He had grown with ita growth, and was the proprietor of half a dozen farms, and "one fair daughter, the whioh he loved passing well." His wife, the partner of the earliest and severest portion of his struggles, had died many years before, and his daugh? ter had become mistress of his house while yet a child. As Effie increased in years, her father prospered; and when at length he found himself the possessor of wealth, the am? bition, so common nnder such circum? stances, of elevating his daughter to a station in life above that in whioh she ' had been reared became a ruling passion. The first thing was to buy her a splen? did education; and like other not over good judges of the article, he was go? verned in his choice more by the gaudi? ness of the ooloring than by any quality of the texture. At the end of tho usual period, Effie was sent home "finished"-that is, in every respect in which she could be to? tally spoiled. In one thing only she re? mained tho same-her love for her father had defied even tho power of fashionable education. A house was purchased in town, of which Effie was made the mistress, and at which Mr. Beldon, a young gentleman of city antecedents, and far too nice to have anything so vnlgar as a visible call? ing, became a frequent nud not unwel? come visitor. Ho had just brains enough to think of providing for the future by a schemo of which Miss Andrews, and her appurtenances, constituted the central feature. Accordingly, ho sighed and lied, and fawned and flattered, till Effie's foolish little heart relented. Z But ono difficulty remained to be en? countered. HQW to conciliate the rough old backwoodsman-there was the rub. no had permitted his daughter to amuse herself with tho yoting dandy, much as Lowonl4hAVQ4llpwcdherto, play with a monkey or poodle. But could he have brought hirUBo'ii to tolerate the' idea'of her marrying anybody, yet awhile--for the possibility of Buch a remote, futuro contingency may h?ve occasionally sug? gested ita^lf?r-*jax>race Boldon was about the-lost'person on earth, <ta'connection with whom it would have been enter? tained. ' Tl When that gentleman; thereforo,' re? ported at headquarters, and implored tho paterual aatiotion of his. suit,' ho,re? ceived no such thing; "on the* contrary, quite the reverse.- Indeed, he. only escaped b?ing kicked out of doors by a speedy voluntary departure. When Effie tried to talk her father over, for the first time in his life, he flow in a passion with her, and she dared not renew the subject. But Love, the little pagan, pays no respect to the fifth commandant. The officious interference of friends and guardians only renders him the more impatient and unruly; and the present instance was no exoeption. Clandestine interviews were arranged; accidental meetings took, place nt tho.houses of mu? tual friends, till'tho whole ended in the gentleman proposing an elopement. Effie, after protesting that Bhe couldn't possibly think of suoh a thing, and after many vain attempts to conjecture what people would say, at last with graceful hesitsinoy consented. Rage, frenzy, despair, are weak words to desoribe the emotion of John An? drews, when he fonnd that his house bad been robbed of its chiefest treasure. His first impulse was pursuit. It was night when he set ont, accompanied by a trusty Scotchman, long in bis employ and confidence. As the two galloped along, Mr. Andrews' horse stumbled, precipitating his rider to the ground, and falling heavily npon him. Ho was taken np insensible, and carried to the nearest house. A physician was sum? moned, who pronounced the injuries of a most serious, but not necessarily fatal cbaraoter. As soon as consciousness returned, he despatched a .messenger for a nephew of his, a lawyer of not very good repute, residing in a neighboring town. When Mr. Jackson, the nephew, ar? rived, he was loft alone with his nncle, nt tho latter's request. At the end of on hour tho doctor was summoned, and requested by Mr. Andrews to note his signature to paper, to which he then affixed his name, declaring it to be his will, und asking the doctor to subscribe it as a witness, which was done. On his nephew's suggestion that an? other witness was requisite, Mr. An? drews named Macpherson, the Scotch? man, and requested the doctor to send him in. Macpherson, it'seems, had been sent on Homo errand; but as soou as he re? turned, the dootor communicated Mr. Andrews' message, and went himself to attend a sick call in the neighborhood, not deeming his presence there immedi? ately necessary. When he came back, he was astonish? ed to find his patient dead. Such a re? sult, had not, indeed, been unanticipated, but its suddenness took him by surprise. By Mr. Andrews' will, which was pub? lished some days after his death, thc entire of his property was devised to hie nophow, who had attended him in his last moments. Everything was in due form. True, Macpherson, one of the witnesses; pursuant to a previous inten? tion, had sailed to Scotland shortly after the funeral, and was not present before tho Judge of Probate. But his hand? writing was proved, and the evidence ol the remaining witnesses was quite satis? factory. He had seen the testator ap? pend his signature, had heard him de? clare the paper was his will, and was positive that, at the time, he was ol sound mind and memory. Under all the circumstances, one would have thought that the young husband would have been unremitting in tender? ness and sympathy towards his sorrow? ing bride, who had sacrificed so much for his sake. And so he would, had he devotedly loved her, but he did not. The fact is, his whole hoart and sonl and mind were occupied with a previoui attachment-not from another; the far? thest possible from that-its object wat himself. This affection, which was oi the most ardent description, had mel with a blighting disappointment in his wife's loss of fortune; and with her un' ceasing grief and oontinual self-accuBa tion-she offered no reproaches to bim? bo had bot little patience, and soon gav? her to understand as much. The mac who, a month before, would have beet ready to put on mourning had she losi her favorite canary, turned his bael upon her in the hour of real affliction. When at length he was found dead ii his bed, one morning, after a night o carousal, the coroner's jury said it wai the "act of God"-his blessing you wil call it. Effie's cousin, instead of making an^ provision for her whoso rights he hat so ontrageously supplanted, left he wholly dependent on others, and had shi not found a home in the house of ai old aud tried friend of her father, sh* might have gone forth a shelterless wan derer. Tom Mansfield, who had casuall; made the acquaintance of the yonn| widow, became warmly interested in he: cause, and guided probably more b; sympathy than judgment, had com menced nu action to contest tho wil tn .lo under the circumstances just re l..<ed. And this was the oase in which h wished my assistance. Wo sat up nearly all night in consulto tion. There was a point which we bot! thought a "beautiful" one, and wo de voted our principal efforts to strengthen ing it. Ours was the first case on in the mora ing. Arrayed against us were three o the oldest and ablest practitioners of th circuit. Jackson had plenty of mono; now, and wus himself no fool ia "put ting up" a case. j'M.i.unj1 '..wi.. .a un . I felt a little nervous. It was my first case loi any iup?rfjMti?A?$ tttby-aa'-Vell as John Andrews' will, was shout to be placed on trial . ^'t * ut - J My courage roTjyed when our client cattle io, escorted by Tom, who introduced mo' as his associate, and handed her to a seat near, oar table. Pretty.as a pink? as^she.sat facing the iurft where TOm,frail placed'lier, T felt that our case had au other "bemutiful point" in it. ?Almost immediately the trial began. ' The evidence varied but little "from that already detailed. The attending phy? sician was very decided in his opinion that the testator, at the time of signing the paper in question, was iu the full possession of his 'mental faculties. , The signature of the absent witness was sworn to* by Mr. Jackson himself, who further testified' that "<he deceased, had requested Macpherson io witness the instrument, at the same time declaring it to.be bis will. * At Tom's instance, I subjected this wit? ness to a searching cross-examination ; bat he stood fire like a salamanda fly. He swore that tho testator .bad not only dictated every line of the will, but had beard it read, and had twice read it over himself, before executing it. I gave him up in despair. At length the cvidenco dosed, and I roso to present our point. It was put in the shape of a motion to direct a verdict for tho contestant, on tho ground that the witnesses had not subscribed in the presence of each other. I was about to adduoe arguments and authorities, when the Judge interposed: "The rule you claim undoubtedly was the law, but a recent statute has changed it. The witnesses need not now sign in each other's presence." A hasty examination proved His Honor was right and our main point was done for. To our great relief, the conrt adjourn? ed.for dinner. Wo were to sum up ic the afternoon. That task, on our side, was assigned to me, but I felt it wae hopeless. I was determined, however, to take nh at satisfaction I could ont of Jaokson by abusing him as soundly O? the rules of the court would allow. And, after all, who could tell ? The jnry might take the bit in their mouth, and give a verdict in spito of the law and thc evidence. Responsibility becomes ama? zingly light when divided by twelve. On the re-assembling of the court, ] was a little surprised as well as annoyed at Tom's absence. Could it be he waf leaving mo in tho lurch, and staying away to avoid tho mortification of om final defeat ? I had just risen to address the jury, when somebody plucked me by the coat, It was Tom, his eyes fairly gleaming, and his whole frame in a tremor of ex citement. "What's tho matter ?" I whispered "MaoPhersou's hero." "What ! the other witness ?" "Yea, just arrived, notan hour ago?' "But will it help us to call him ?" - '.'Trust me for that. Put him on th< stand at once." "What shall I ask him ?" "No matter; you can't go far wrong if you miss anything, I'll prompt yon.' Tom was evidently full of soma mys tory with which he was bent on takinj everybody by surprise, including my self. In a few words I explained to the cour our reasons forjwishing to re-open th testimony. Jaokson turned pale, an< whispered nervously to his counsel, bu they shook their heads; our applica tion was one that would be granted, o course. "Call your witness," said the Judge. "Donald MacPhersonl" shouted Tom The witness, a brawny, honest-facei Scotchman, advanced to the stand, am was sworn. "Go ahead," Tom whispered. "Mr. Macpherson, look at the signa ture, and tell us if that is yours." "It is." "Do you know the signatdre to th right of it?" "Yes; that's the signature of Mr. An drews." "Did yon see him write it?" "No; but I am weel acouent with hi hand." "Were you requested to witness tba paper?" "Yes." "By whom?" "By Mr. Jackson." '. 'Did Mr. Andrews say anything abon it?" "No; he iras dead when I came in." There was no cross-examination. "I submit the case without argument, I said, resuming my seat. Our senior opponent was one of thoa lawyers with vLom it is a matter of con science to ?how fight to the last. In brief speech, he admitted it to be essen tial that both witnesses should hav signed their names before the testator death, but claimed that, iuasmuch as th testimony of Jackson and MacPherso was in direct conflict on this question, i must bo loft to the jory. "Certainly," answered his Honor. Bc when he had concluded his charge, thet wasn't much of Mr. Jackson or his test mony left. The jury gave us a verdict withou leaving the box. Tom, I am sorry to say, behaved vcr unhandsomely in the division of th spoils. Although I was liberally paid, he too tho widow and her whole fortune for hi share. As for Jackson, not being quito ( accommodating as Judas, ho didn't g out and hang himself. But at the rat he is going, it will take more law than li knows to keep him much longer out < tho penitentiary.
