Carnes’ argument was, lhat although the rule of Court required a lawyer to wear a gown, it had not prescribed the color, and therefore his blanket was a sufficient gown! Carnes and Shaw were rival lawyers, at the County Court Bar of Newberry. Carnes was a very large man—Sbaw a very small one. Carries was remarka ble for his wit and good humor—Shaw for his pride aud petulance. The latter, when irritated, could-make no argu ment. On one occasion, in a case of some consequence, Carnes had made the opening speech, and sal down.— Sbaw arose and commenced his argu ment alongside of Carnes. When standing, the lappeis of lhe coal of the former was just even with that of ihe latter. Large buttons and straight- breasted coals were then the rage.— Carnes buttoned a button or two of Shaw’s coat into his, snatched up bis hat, jumped up in a great hurry, and walked lo the door, dragging, appa rently without noticing it, poor Shaw after him. At the door he affected to have discovered it for the first lime, and, looking down al him with apparent sur prise, he exclaimed, “ Brother popcorn, what mischievous rascal hitched you lo me V' The ruse had the effect in tended'. Shaw, when released, was so enraged, he could not make his speech. Carnes’ comment on Robert Stark’s first speech in an assault and battery case at Newberry, and Stark’s practical reply, are too good to be lost. Neither Stark’s exterior nor speech had im pressed Carnes with any favorable no tion of his learning or talent. He said to. the Judges he did not believe the young gentleman knew what an assault and battery was. Stark was instantly on bis feet, apd shaking bis fist in Carnes* face, he iaid, - M That is an as sault,” and drawing back, and striking him a full blow in the face with his fist, sufficient to have felled ail ox, he said, " There 4s *battery."

A violent storm of snow and wind, (peculiar to that dreary country,) fiercely raged, bearing destruction and desolation in its progress, and pro ducing terror in tbe minds of the unsheltered wanderers. Overcome by the severity of the cold, and unable longer to sustain his precious charge, he carefully deposited it upon a bed of snow, and went In quest of assistance and a kind retreat from the howling storm. But he never returned again. The early dawn had discovered a frozen corpse to the astonished tenants of an obscure cottage in the outskirts of the quiet village. *« Great Heaven! what do I hear ?” ejaculated the pious minister, Skov- ki, as its subdued cries of distress, falling upon his eager ear, during a tem porary cessation of the storm, attracted lis attention to the frozen embankment upon which rested the deserted infant. He hesitated not to reflect upon the cruel misfortune lb«*U had bereft the in fant of parental protection ; nor did he waste time in the fruitless endeavor of discovering those who had abandoned their offspring to tbe peliings of the storm.

Years passed away, and, under the affectionate care and protection of the good pastor and his benevolent com panion, Katharine (for such she was named by her foster-parents) increased not only in personal beauty and loveli ness, but, as site grew in years, devel oped those peculiar graces and dispo sitions which become an amiable and grateful daughter. And soon she was enabled, by assiduous attention wants of their declining years, to testify her appreciation of their self-sacrificing devotion tocher youthful days. The Czar of Russia, not content wilh his widely extended dominions, and de sirous of the conquest and annexation of the province of Livooia, had already marched bis forces upon its chief city. Katharine had attained her thirteenth year whet)' his formidable cannon an nounced to the' inoffensive inhabitants the bombardment of their quiet little town.

Whal say you, Katharine ?** add ed he, turning to the blushing damsel. Her hesitating response was, •* I would rather be the wife of a soldier than the servant of a great general.” “ Bravely spoken!-—from this mo ment you are mine,” he rejoined ; but we must obtain the permission of the Czar. I will go immediately to the Emperor’s teut, and receive his sanc tion to our union. Remain here while I seek an audience of his majesty.” In, a few. moments a young lieuten ant, advancing to the general’s lent, said—^ “ Tlie Czar, Peier, commands tbe presence of Madame Katharine.” With a quick, though trembling step, she followed, and, on entering the mag nificent tent, discovered a throng of officers surrounding one who was seat ed, and whom she recognized as her affianced husband. - “Where is the Emperor?” demand ed Katharine of her-conductor. There P' replied he, pointing lo the soldier who was seated.

The requisite sum is diminished to an extent not commonly appreciated by tbe use of substitutes for money—for ex ample, those termed bills of exchange. Only general principles can be laid down as to the amount of money need ed in any community. What is denominated division of la bor, is the ground of the convenience of money. Hence, it is that in civilized societies more money is needed than where things are in a ruder slate; for in civilized societies, lhe division of la bor is carried to the greatest extent.— Where every man produces for himself all the articles which he wants, little or no money is found. On the other hand, where each man produces but one arti cle, money becomes very convenient for the purposes of sale ar.d purchase, and the amount of value vested in it, or its substitutes, will increase in propor- sifity. .
