‘ Stand up!”
" What fur?” said the astonished young
farmer.
"To hefer the charge read,” exclaimed
the constable.
‘■Well, I guess I kin hear what’s goin’or
without BTandin,’ as well as the rest on
'em," was the reply.
"Stand up," roared the judge in a burst
of passion—he had just bitten his longue
while picking his teeth—"young.man stand
up! or the consequence be upon your own
head.” > j.
The victim came fp on his feet as if
under the influence of a galvanic balfeiy,
and looking around (he court room ond
policing that all eyes w.ere upon him, with
an exptession about as affectionate as (hat
of a rabid man towards a bow! of water,
he hung his head in confusion and mortifi
cation. and was neatly deaf to the woids of
the indictment; but he heard enough of lire
long, complicated, tangled sentences to
dream that lie was charge 1 with stealing
or embezzling nt cheating nr pilfeiing some
house or somebody, and he couldn’t tell
exactly which.
"Wliat does ho say to the charge?
Guilty or riot guilty!” inquired the judge,
peering over his spectacles with a look
cold enough to freeze a man’s blood
"Guilty or not guilty?”
The yang man ventured to look up in
hopes to find a sympathizing eye, but all
were cold and unfriendly, and he again
gazed on the sawd isted fl«or, and trembled
with confusion.
"Guilty or not gulity?” again vociferated
the judge, in a tone that plainly denoted
impatience to proceed with the case.
The broad shouldered constable, being a
r ther humane man, “lepped up to the pris
oner. and examined —
"You had better say "not guilty," of
course! if you say "guilty." you don’t stand
no chance, this term, that’s sure! and if you
sny "not guilty," anti wish at any future
state of the case to change your plea to
"guilty," you can do it without injury to
yourself, therefore. I advise you to say "not
guilty," and stick to it as long as there is
any chance.”
Jonathan’s feelings had been simmering
some time, but now they actually boiled
over and w.th a look of inaoeent but deter
mined resolution, he swung his arms about
his head, and examined—
“What in all natur' are yeou tcllets a

Just at this moment the front door open

tier walked into the room and proceeded
at once to the box. !
The court saw in a moment its mistake,,
and ’tied to choke down its effect with a I
frown, hut it was no go. The crowd burst
forth into a hoari-e laugh that fait ly made
the windows rattle, and the young man left
the room exclaimed, as he went out at the
door—

POLITE RULES FOR THE ESCORTING OE
LADIES.
The Washingion correspondent of the
New York Herald, in a long homily on the
conduct of ladies iu the Copitol, Bmong
other things, says:
Never, or very rarely, offer to carry a
lady’s parasol, or put your hand on her
shoulder or around her waist (as is ofteo
done) in assisting her out of the carriage,
or into her *eat. To a delicate woman all
such lapping clawing ia the most unsaffera-
ble rudeness. The proper way when you
alight, is to offer your left arm as a support
for the lady*9 right hand, and to bold your
right hand in readiness, should the exigen
cies of skirts. &c., permit her taking it with
er left. In ascending a staircase, keep side
by side with the lady, but do not be too os
tentatious in offering your arm, lest in at
tempting to take it ahe neglects the manage
ment of her skirts, steps o*. her dress, and
either falls or teat's out at the waiat.

A LEAF OF MEMORY LOST.
An old man’s memory is a queer place.—
Indeed, it. resembles an old fashioned gar
ret, full of relics and souvenir* of the past—
the rubbish of to-day, but the riches of yes
terday.
In conversation yesterday with an old man
who ha9 passed a long and useful life, and
with whomitis now Indian 9iimmer,we were
impressed with a remark heincidently made
He had seen the opening of nearly seventy
springs—at first the winter came and went,
by-and-by, unmelted snow flakes lingered
in his hair, and he saw them drifting over
the graves of one after another, whose feet
wi h his : had brushed the morning dews
together. At last they whitened over his
old wife’s last resting place—her who knew
him when the shadows fell to the westward,
and “the day was before” them both—who
never thought him old, though all the world
pronounced him so. Everybody said when
she died, "it is a terrible blow to the old
man," and a few did all they could to rmke
him forget—but there w&9 no need of that,
"for,” said he, “they didn’t seem to know
where the blow fell which they so deplored
—they didn’t think how much I missed
somebody to help me remember!”
These few words, indeed, contain a world
of meaning. He did miss the other leaf from
memory's tablet. Two pair of eyes had
but one rainbow —but one pair held it now.
Two hearts had lived over again the past
but one remembered it, and imperfectly
now. Who would have life’s little thread
extended, till he too, should be compelled
to take up the words and say, "I miss some
body to help me remember.”—The Tri»
bune.
London Dock Brandy.—A New York
correspondent of the Mobile Tribune tells
the following good story:
"A friend of mine was offered a share,
the other day, in the profits of a brilliant
speculation. Being so absurd as to have
a troublesome tenant of his breast, called
conscience, he declined the enterprise,
thereby losing a handsome per cent. It
was iri this wise; My friend is largely in
an exporting business. A gentleman in
formed him that he would like to ship on
shares. "What do they contain?” “Bran
dy.” “What’s the object oftbe shipment?’
"Well you see, it’s brandy which I have
manufactured, and which cost fifty cents
per gallon. We ship it to London, have it
entered at the docks, get the brand, have it
shipped, and sell it with that brand on it
for $3 per gallon. Won’t lhat pay?’
‘John,’ said a pedagogue the other day,
‘what’s detained you ? How rame you so
late to school V
‘Well, sir, I bad soup for dinner, and had
to wait for it to cool.’
•Take your seat, your excuse is suffi-*
cient.’
An Irishman going to matket met a far
mer with an owl. ‘Say, misther, what’ll ye
take fur yer big-eyed turkey/
‘It is an owl, you beast.’replied the aston

MARGARET OF BURGUNDY.
Wecmdidly believe that theie is hard*
ly a gentleman in France,— nay, in Spain
or Italy, who could restrain himself from
challenging, and slapping the lace of any
individual who would venture to compare
that gentleman’s wife or mother, to Mar
garet of B-irgundy. This name is associa
ted with bloody deeds and infamous crimes;
it incesBtitly recalls to the minds of the
French, a dark period of their annals,
which a lapse of five centuries has not yet
effected from their mem ry.
Matgaret. daughter of Robert 11.. Duke
of Burgundy, and wife of Louis X., King
of France, was a faithful spouse who, to
gether with her t wo married sisters, Joan,
Countess of Poiteirs. and Blanche, Coun
tess of Marche, lived in a scandalou* com
merce with young noblemen and Parisian
students whom she cowardly murdered and
caused lobe thrown headlong into the Seine,
to silence by an untimely death these indis
crete accomplices in her criminal pleasure.
One of her victims whom they had not
bound fast escaped by sw-immtng. be
trayed her to Louis. She was imprisoned
strangled by the King’s orders, for the
crime of adultery, in the prison .,f Chateau
Gillard, towards the year 1314.
Nor is it absolutely necessary to dive in
to the history of Paulus iEmillius or the
Chroniqves de St Denis, to lead or hear of
Margaret’s turpitudes. They are still in
France a topic fir popular comment, and
so late as a few years ago, Messrs, Alexan
der Dumas and Frederica Gaillardet, in
their popular play of La Tour de Nasle
dramatized her history for the stage.—
This drama was crowned with one of the
greatest theatrical successes on record; and
by its having been translated iuto several
languages and performed nearly all over
the Continent by Mille. George and several
other actors of great talent, helped to dif
fuse an opprobious celebrity, which will
blend for ever Marguerete de Bourgogene
with Joan, of Naples, and Measallina.
-Such was the nolot ions true character of
that infamous Queen; such was the import
of Messrs, de Turgot’s and D’Alba's re
mark, when in pointing out Mrq. Soule,
they said: ** Voila Marguerite de BurgogneV
And yet we hear ignorant individuals blame
a aon, an American and a Southerner, for
resenting the insult and fighting a man
who had thdinsolence in ari open ba!-room,
and in presence of hundreds of spectators,
to compare his chaste and virtuous mother,
to an audulterous and sanguinary spousel
S«ime papers go even as far as to say that
Messrs. Nervil and Pierre Soule ought to
have taken it as a compliment.
SWAf LOWING A HORSE.
Mr. Gardner, in his "Travels in Bazel.”
confirms the early account respecting the
size and prodigies swat lowing capacity of
the boa constructor—accounts which cer
tain naturalists whose researches n=?ver ex
tended beyond the galleries of a museum,
are in the habit of treating with ridicule
and unbelief. "The boa,” said he, "is not
uncummon throughout the whole Province
of Gogaz, particular by the wooded mar
gins of Iake9. msrrbesand streams. Some,
times they attain the enormous length of
forty feet, the largest I saw was in this
place, but it w’as not alive. Some weeks
before our arrival at Sape, the favorite rid
ing horse of Senor Lagoeira, which had
been put out to pasture not far from the
bouse, could not be found, although strict
search was made for it all over the hazien-
da. Shortly after this, one ofhis vaqueros •
in going through the wood by the side of a
small river, saw an eoermous boa suspen
ded in the fork of a tree which hung over
the water, it was dead, but had evidently
been floated down alive by a recent flood,
and being in an inert state, it bad not been
able to extricate itself from the fork before
the waters fell It wasdiagged out to the
open country by two horses, and was found
to measure thirty-seven feet in length.—
On opening it, the bones of a horse were
found in a broken condition, the head being
injuted. From these circumstances it was
conceded that the boa had devoured the
horse entire.
In all kinds of snakes the capacity for
swallowing is prodigious, 1 have often
soen one not thicker than my thumb swal
low a frog a* latge as my fist; and 1 once
killed a rattle snake, about four feet long,
arid of no great thickness, which had swal
lowed not less then three frogs, one of
which swelled out its side nearly twice the
thickness of the other parts. I have also
seen a very slender snake that frequents
the roof* of houses, swallow an entire bat
three times its own thickness. If such be
the case with these smaller kinds, it is not
to be wondered at that one thirty-seven
feel long should be able to swallow a horse,
particularly when it is known that, previous
ly to doing 9o, it breaks the bones of the
animal by coiling itself round it and after-
watds lubricates it with a slimy matter
which it has the power of secreting from
its mouth.
Disparity of age in Marriage,—Mahom
et’s fit si wife, Kadyah, was at least forty,
when he at the age <>f twenty five married
her. ShaWespear’s Ann Hathaway, was 7 ■
years his senior. Dr. Johnson’s was liter-
ally double his age. The wife of Lord
Herbert Cherbury, six or seven years older j

was also seven years older than her hus

age of twenty five married a first wife, who
was then fifty two. Mr*. Rowe the author
