practical Jokes and had liquor.
IIT TitK T.X FRRKCB EDITOR.
| It in .1 well known f;ct that oftentimes both those joltra
which nre called ••practical”—and that liquor which is icrm
’ rd “had,” have? been productive of exceedingly evil couaequen
} con; hut whether the liquor or the joke has done the most
I mischief, ive arc* not called upon juat now to determine. We
propone to make mention of an yffuir wheir had liquor and
; a (Tactical joke were productive of the very boat consequenc
es imaginable.
Many years ago, while the State of Georgia was still in its
infancy, an eccentric creature, named Brown, waa one of its
Circuit Judges. He was a man of consideroblo ability, of in
flexible integrity and much beloved and respected by all the
legal profession, hut he had one common fault. His social
qualities would h ad him. despite his judgement, into frequent
excesses In travelling the Circuit it was his almost invaria
ble habit the niulit before opening the Couit.to to get “com
fortably corned,', by means of dpplninces common upon such
occasions, If he couid’nt succeed while operating upon hia
own ho ik, the members of the bar would generally turn in
and help him.
It was in the Spring id the year; taking his wife—a mod
el of a woman in her way —in the old fashioned, but strong
••carry all,” that he journeyed some forty miles, and reached
a village where ••C-urt” was to he opened the next day. It
was along in the evening of Sunday that he arrived at the
place and look up quarters with relation of his “better
half,” by whom the presence of an official dignitary was con
sidered a singular honor. After supper ludge Drown stroll*
rd over to the only tavern in the town, where he found many
old friends, railed to the pla- e, like himself on important pro
fessional business, ami who were properly glad to meet him.
“Gentlemen, **id the Judge, *• ‘ti-* quite a long time since
we have enjoyed a glass together—let us take a drink all
round. Os course fi> emit, (addressing the landlori) you
have lietter liquor than you had the last time we weie here,
the stulf you had then v. a- not fit lo give fl dog.”
Sterriit. who had chaise of i!e house, pretended that eve
rything wis tight, and so they went lo wotk. It is unneces
sary to enlarge upon a diinking l out in a country tavern —it
will quite answer our purpose to stats that somewhere in the
region of midnight the Judge wended hia devious way to
wards his temporary h .me. About the time he was leaving,
however, some younger barristers, fond of a “practical,” and
not much ah aid of the bench, transferred all the silver spoons
of Sterriit to the Judge's coat pocket.
It was eight o'clock of Mouday morning that the Judge
ro?e. Having indulg’ din the process of ablution and abster
sion, and partaken ol a refreshing breakfast, he Went to bis
room to prepare himself for the duties of the day.
“ Well, Polly,” said he to his wife, •• I feel much belter
than I expected to feel after that frolic of Isvt night.”
“Ah, Judge,” suid she, reproachfully, **you are getting too
old —you ought to leave oil'that business.”
“Ah, Polly—what’s the use of talking V*
It was at this precise instant of time, that the Judge, hav
ing put on his over coal, was proceeding, according to his
Usual cuß'om. to give his wife a parting kiss, that he happen
ed in thrusting Ins hand into his pocket, (n lay hold *>f fitter
lilt's spoon*. He jerked them out. With in rijiitMiun of
horror almost indrac lihabie he exclaimed
“My God ! Polly !”
“What on earth's ihe nutter, Judge 1”
“Just look at these spoons.”
“Dear me, where d'ye get them V
••Gt t them 1 Don’t \ou see the initials on them ‘ extend
ing them toward* her—•• l stoic them.”
“Stole them Judge V
“Yey, stole them.”
“My dear huffianJ, it can't be possible! from whom*”
“From Slerritt, over there, h s name is on I hem. ’
“Good Heaven-1 how couM it heppen l ”
• I know very well Polly —I was very drunk when 1 came
home, wasn’t l V*
••Why. Judge, you know your old habit when you are a
rtiong those lawyer*.”
“But was 1 very drunk 1”
• Yes. if “U tent .”
“Was I remarkably drunk when T got home, Vtrs. Brown!”
“Yes. Judge, i)ilink us a fool, and forty tunes as stupid.”
“I thought ao,” said the Judge, dropping into a chair in
extreme despondency—‘l knew it would come to this at
l ist. I have always thought that something bad wouIJ hap
p n to rn—that I should do something very wrong—kill
somebody in a moment of passion, pet Imps hut I never im
agined that I could be mean enough to l*e guilty of deliber
ate larceny.”
••Hut, there rnav he some mistake, JuJafl! *
• N. mistake, Polly. I kr ow ve-y w. II how it all ram* about.
Tiiat fellow, Sterriit, keeps the meanest so iol liquor, and
always did —I quor meai| enough t 1 make a man steal, and
rmw I have i piactnal illu-lrslion of the tael —and the poor
old man burst into tear*.
“Don lbe a child,” eaitf his wife, wiping away the tears,
“go like a man, over to fiferiiit, tell b in it was a little hit of
a frolic—pass it - 11 as a joke —go and open Couil, and no
body will t vvr thick • f it again.”
A hlile of ihe soothing system oppra’rd upon the Judge
ns suk h things usually do , Ui< ntrsow inoiLflcaltOQ was fi
nally subdued, and over to fiSiern-t’s he went wnb a tolerable
face! Os course he had but little difficulty in Milling with
him—lor aside from the fact that the Judge’s integrity was
unquestionably hr had an inkling of the joke that had been
pl iy.il. The Ju’ge took his seat in Couit.bulit waa observ
ed that he was sad and melancholy and that his mind fre
quently wand< td ( oui the business Irefure bun. There waa
a lack of the sense and intelligence that usually characterized
hia proceedings.
Several iluya passed sway, end the business nf the Court
was drawing towards a close, when on* in Tiling a rouyh
looking -ort of a cu-turner waa arraigned on charge ol steal
mg. After the Clerk had iexd the indiclmt-ni tu hun, he put
the question :
••Guilty, or not Gnihy V
••Guilty— but drunk” onawered the pi Loner.
“V\ hat * that plea ?” exclaimed the Judge, who waa half
dozing on the touch.
••Ho pleads guilty, hut **>• he wss drunk,” replied the
clerk.
••What’s the charge against the man V*
“He is indicted l r g and larceny.”
“What’s iho case !”
••May i* pleas* your honor,” said the prosecuting attorney,
• the man is roguUrly tudiclej (or eualuig a la>go sum from
the Columbus Hotel.”
“Ha is. hey 1 and pleads’*—
“lie plead# guilty, but drunk**
The Judge whs now lully aroused. ,
• Guilty, but diunk * that is a most eitran-d nary flirt. —
Young fnan you are cailain you wire drunk'”

“Where uid you get your I qur !”

and mislress of her hand, she was determined to have a brii
liant revenge. She at first conceived Ihe idea of marrying at
Paris, wheie she could choose front a larger field ; hot in.

. remaining in the provinces. The defunct was a tich tna.au
i faclurer, and Ilia widow e fortune was in rnetcandisa an I
: commercial paper, site product of which was certain, but time
wa< necessary to roaliif it. Mm,. Danville therefore resign
ed herself to await t lie prudent settlement of her husband's
all nra. which woul I require two years,

meut of this resolution, succumbed io the idea of waiting tw .
yrara before renewing the bonds of hymen. Already ht.l
her spring blossomed unfavorably ; must she still p JS < in is •
lation ot the best years of youth ? When u<*h reflection*
seize A woman’s thoughts, the course she will take is no:
doubtful. Consequently,the aspirants to hei hand and for
tune, for n moment disdained, were anew admitted to present
their titles. The beautiful widow had her court; she beheld
herself besieged with ardent vows, tender prayers, hmnsg*-
and flattery “f eve.y degree, all of which left her indifferent,
until, one dav. when a serpent crept among the ff,we*s.
The serpent—thus allegorically named—was a certain r>
dn'iint young man. in a good state of preservation, but still,
no longer young. No one knew precisely his age, but ho
had oi*se.i forty, a fatal epoch for fascinating charmers.—

vice, thanks to his skill at the game Gallants of this aon

and thus they make headway in their captivating art, till i,
in too late to arrest them. This wqb the case of Mr. Leon
ard; hia rival* neglected to abstract his path, tho widow a<
lWt lent but little attention to h s address* g, and so he forti
fied himself in hi* tutelary position. Endowed with a pa
lienee to endure evey tent, and possessing the resources fur
nisheil by long pmctice, he knew how to profit bv all the ed
vafit iges of the case ; armed with a caustic wit, skilful in rid
icule. he had the art of stigmatizing and ruining prospects of
all his competitors. In fine, he remained alone on the baltL
field, until the lair widow could not dispense with noticing
him.
The fir-t success, skilfully managed, was soon to conduct
to a complete victory. The ci-devant young man knew, bv
force ot borrowing from art, the means of indefinitely pro
hi* youth. Appearances militated in his favor. A
widow ought not to have been taken in thereby, but Mmo
Danville was perfectly artless, and was not sufficiently exp*
rienced to distinguish truth from fiction. She listened to th
vow* of her superannuated lover, and granted him her hand
Thus, tot a second time, the beautiful widow was obnut t<
become the dope and victim of a badly assorted marriage, and
her fatal destiny was on the point of being completed, when
the inundation came to her aid.
It must be said, that M. Leonard lodged in Mm*. Dsn
ville’s house. This house, situated at the extremity of lb.
fiubourg, was distributed ns follows;—on the ground floor
were wnrehof*es **f merchandise, which represented in pan
the widow’* fortune the floor above wa* occupied by the In
dy anl ona of h.*r relatives, who was to return from the coun
try on the morrow, to be present at the marriage; above w,t
M. Leonard’s apartment, and in tbe attic a young artist, who*,
the widow had hardly noticed—a painter, tootimiJ, reserved,
and poor, to dare betray the secret thoughts that devoured
him.
It was the day b> fire the marriage filed upon. On that
dav the Khone overflowed ami filled the city—but the water
was its yet hardly * foot deep, and divers signs indicating it
sub-iding. disquietude was allayed. The future couple pass
ed the evening in a tete-a-tete* Mme. Danville working a;
