V Mr. Doaketr
44 Yea, Madam." ^0.
It was an elderly woman, upon
whose brow care liad furrowod
many a wrinkle. She was dressed
in homely garments, and theatruggle
between penury and neatness
which they evinced would have
been an interesting stndy for a
philosopher. Her eyes were red,
as though she had been weeping;
and wtion she seated herself by
my desk, the pent np current of
grief burst afresh.
44 What is the matter, my good
woman ?? 5Toa seom to be in deep
distress," 1 remarked, in the most
encouraging tone X couia command.
441 am, sir. They say the Lord
is near to them tjUat are snflbting,
and I ara sure no 6nght to be near
mo." .
441 dare toy bo ii, ma'am. But
you know that afflictions are sent
to us for onr good, and wo ongbt
never repine at the discipline of
life, however severe it may eomotitnea
soom to us."
I had heard an excellent sermon
the day before, lor it was Monday,
on tribulation, and I was just m
the frame of mind forgiving others
more oxcellent advice, which, perhaps,
I should have been very unwilling
to follow, if the dark waves
of trouble had roiled over me.
441 try to bear it as well as I
can," bIio replied, wiping away
her tears with tho corner of her
apron,**- <
441 don't know as I am acquainted
with yon, ma'am," I snggcslod,
for tho pnrposc of ^hanging the
topic and bringing her to onsmcss.
441 don't know as yon are," she
replied ; and sbo proceeded to give
me a very long and very snccmct
account of her previous history,
beginning back some forty years,
when biio wfis born among the
"White Mountains in Now Hampshire.
I tried to clrcck lier, but it was
no uso. I was as patient as the
case vronld admit, and mindful of
the duty we owe to the weak, the
infirm and the ignorant; but my
patience was sorely tried. I will
not punish the reader with the
long, fine-spun storjT she told me,
for a few lines will suftico to inform
him of the mn'erial facts.
She was a widow, her name was
Marchc. She had an only son,
Philip, who was employed in an
insurance offico, and received three
dollars h week for his service*.?
He was a gCKnl boy and loved his
mother, as ho should. Upon thew
united earnings they lived very
comfortably in an obscure street,
where they hired two rooms. Mrs.
Marcho'a catalogne of her son's
virtues was certainly very edifying.
He never spent a cent upon
himself, never went out nights,
and attended church foronoon and
afternoon.
Ap evil day had come. On tlie
Saturday three weeks preceding,
Mr. Carman, the President of the
insurance company, as ho declared,
had sent Philip with a valuable
diamond ring to the jewelorV, to
have the atone r(*et. On inquiry
the ring was found not to have
reached its destination. The jeweler
hod never seen it. To nmke
the case more complicated, the
boy denied having received the
ring. Mr. Carman had never 6ent
him on any such errand.
The boy had been arrested on
charge of stealing the ring, and
was now confined in jail. Mr.
Carman was ready to swear he
delivered the valuable article into
the hands of the boy, with explicit
directions as to where he should
carry it and what should be done
with it.
It looked like a had case. The
poor woman was in the saddest
distress. She was sure that her
darling boy would not steal. I
I pitied her and promised to do ]
what I could lor her son.
'When she hod gono, I cnllcd
upon Mr. Carman. I found that
lie was one of those dogmatic old
fellows, who are nevor in a wrong,
who find it impossible to err, even
by design, or to make a mistake.
I tried to argne the point with
him, bnt ho would not say much,
lie told me the story; was sure
be sent the boy and nobod v else.
X ventured to suggest that he
might hare been mistaken; that
lie had sent the ring by some other
person.
44 Do yon lake me for a simpleton,
sir ? Do yoti think I don't
know what I ain about?" ho ex
claimed, bestowing upon me a
look of withering contempt. *441
sent the, ring with the boy, sir.
The boy has stolen it. Kothiog
more need bo eaid, sir." And he
turned to the newspapor he hon
been reading.
I was tu?t pioascd with

the interview. I was highly vexed
at the haughty bearing of the fellow
; and I confess that my pique
rendered me ten-fold more aealous
in my endeavore to cloar my youthful
client.
I visited Philip at the jail. Be
was rery sad on his mother's acOouVit;
on his^own ha seemed not
to care. A more frank, openhearted
boy I never saw. He told
his story; though I questioned
him pretty severely, he was consistent
to the last.
I made the case my own, and
worked unceasingly, as it seemed
f/> nsn tV*rttt t/\r Mm AtfAviliSAiv aC
w 1110 inv/iij iui mv vfwunuvnr vi
tho haughty President of the insurance
company, as much as for
the solvation of the widow and her
interesting son. I visited more
than a dozen jewelry shops that
aftornoon and the next morning;
with what result the reader shall
learn in the details of the trial,
which came on the next day.
Philip wns duly arraigned, and
his poor mother sat by his side,
weeping and sobbing like a child
as the case proceeded.
Mr. Carman, with majestic dignity,
stepped upon the stand. He
told the story I have l?ef??re detailed,
and was turned over to me for
cross examination. I could see;
that he was nettled, for he certain
ly could seo no morcy in my face.
44 Mr. Carman, are you willing
to swear that you gave the ring to
this boy ?*'
41 Certainly I am," he replied,
vexed and angry, for ho had an
swercd tho same question a d<>zen
times in the course of the cross
examination.
"I beg your honor to notice
pftrticnlarly tho word? of this witness"
I remarked to the Court.
His Honor testified readily that
he had qoticed them, as a matter
of OKIrso; he had them in his
minutes ; and ho rather snuhlied
mo for pressing so respectable a
witness in so severe a manner.
44 Now, Mr. Cartunn, may I beg
you to examine this ring?" and I
handed him the one he had lost.
44 It re mine," ho replied, with
evident astonishment.
4* You identity tho ring, do vou.
sir!"
VI do."
44Tlmt is all, sir. May it please
3*onr Ilonor, I shall bring but one
witness for the defence. Will Mr,
Graham take the stand ?"
Mr. Graham took the stand. 1
sliOWnd him tint i-imr
14 Ilave you ever seen this ring
before
" I have."
"Slate to flic Court what you
know about it."
Mr. Or all am proceeded to state
that he was n jeweler ; that the
ring was left at big shop three
weeks before, by an elderly gentle
man, to have the stone reset.
. " Is tho gentleman in the conrt
room ?" I asked.
u lie is ; there he sits and he
pointed to Mr. Carman.
Tlie Court was astonished ; the
officers were astonished ; and Mr.
Carman was overwhelmed with
confusion. He ncknowle Igcd his
error when there was no possihil
ity of concealing \t. He asked to
correct his testimony, and did so.
Mr. Onrtnan was a very absent
minded ruan; and the solution of
tho whole matter ;s, that he forgot
all the ' circumstances connected
with the ring. Ho intended to
have sent Philip to the jeweler's
with it, and actually called him tor
that purpose, hut his attention was
attracted to something eke, and
ho thought no more about it. On
his way home to dinner, while his
mind was absorbed by hii impor
taut business operation, ho had
lett the rin? at Mr. Graham's.
The impression that ho had givon
the r ng to Philip was fastened
upon his mind, lie remembered
the tact of calling iin, and his intention
became a reality.
When tlins cornered he amnsed
the jndgca with several other in
stances* of absent-mindedness of
which he had been guilty, in this
manner explaining the mistake lie
had made.
I innst do him the justice to say
that he made Philip ample amends

him; but I believe flint Mr. Carman
hated mo to the day of hid
death. I can only say I should
not have punished him so severely
if ho had treated me like a gentleman.

A lh?riffa Attachment
Court wai in session, and amid
tho multiplicity of iiusineea which
crowded upon b\m at term time,
be stoppedat the door of a beautiful
widow: on the sunny aide of
I thirty, who, by the why, bad often
bestowed melting glances on the
aforesaid Slier iff. lie was admitted,
and the widow appeared.?
The confusion and fright whieb
the arrival of her visitor occasion|
ed, set off* to greater advantage
the captivating charms of the
widow M . liar cheeks bore
the beautiful blended tints of the
apple blossora^gher lips resembled
tho rosebuds, upon which the
I morning dew yet lingered, and
her eyes were like quivers of CuS'de,
and glances of love and tenirnese,
with which they were
filled, resembled arrows whioh only
invited a u beau " (pardon the
! pun) to do full execution. After
? few common place remarks,
44 Madam," said the inattor-ot-fact
Sheriff1, "I have an attachment
for you."
A deeper blush than usnal mantled
the choeks of the fair widow,
while the glance ot her down cast
eyes wore centered upon her beautiful
foot, winch, half concealed
by flowing drftpery, patted the
floor. She, with equal candor,
replied :
*?Sir, the attachment is recipro
cal."
For some time the Sheriff maintained
an astonished silence, and
at length he said :
44 Madam, will you proceed tc
court?"
44 Proceed to court Preolied the
lady, with a merry laugh ; then,
shaking her head, 6ke said : 44 No,
sir ; though this is leap year, 1
will not tako advantage of the ii
cense therein granted to my sex,
and therefore Fgreatly prefer thai
yon should proceed to conrt."
44 But, madam, the justice is
wailing.'*
441/ct him wait; I am not dia
posed to hurry matters in so uu
becoming ft manner; and beside
sir, when the ceremony is performed
1 wish you to understand
that 1 greatly prefer a minister U
a justice of the j*eace."
A light dawned upon the Slier

to witness a demonjtrntion of the raannfnrtnro
of taigsr end (trap from sorgo cane, did, on
the Ptli day or November, 1WH, pre tool to tbs
?ng*r-hvu?o of the company, ?iluatc<l on Uie
farm of Tuhn Tl. Secbolt, In Jcfferion connty.
j After arriving there we found the mill ami
?i In full operation, all working well. A
minutes after onr arrival a batch of sirup
wuo turned off which war of the br?t quality,
being clear, light in eelor and light in appearance,
being pleasant to the taate and entirely
frco from all sorgo flavor. In the sugar-bout*
we found a quantity of sirup in, various stages
?r granulation, some sixteen boxes of which
contained a large proportion of mush sugar,
which, whan put to a teat in a centrifugal
mill, was found to ywld from one gallon of
mush sugar over five pounds of bcaotifol
sugar, light In color, lively In appearance,
having a large fine crystal or grain. It was
farther foundHint under a pros# the yield was
much larger, the residue being sirup, which by
rn-txdiWg become* sugar-house molasses of
the hest Quality.
Ndw, in view #f U?o above facts, we agree
(hat this demonstration baa fully borne out the
d^lorgtions made by the Kentncky Sorgo
Onlnpany as set forth In their article of agreement
wl^h the Louisville Sorgo Company, that
they hhfe produced strop and sugars of tha
