We presume our Illinois readers will readily expand the town of C mentioned in the following sketch into Carlyle: About three or four years ago, more or less, I was practising law in Illinois in a pretty large circuit. I was called on one day in my office, in the town of C —, by a very pretty woman, who, not without tears, told me her husband had been arrested for horse-stealing. She wished to retain me on the defense. 1 asked her why she did not go to Judge 8., an ex-Senator of the United States, whose office was in the same town. I told her that I was a young man at the bar, &c. She mournfully said that he had asked a retaining fee above her means, and besides did net want to touch the cose, fur her husband was suspected of belonging to an extensive band of horse thieves - and counterfeiters, whose head quarters were on Moore’s prairie. I asked her to tell the whole truth of the mat ter, and if it was true that her husband did be long to such a baud? “Ah, sir,” said she, “ a better man at heart than my George never lived ; but he liked cards and drink, and I am afraid they made him do what ho never would have done if he had not drank. 1 fear that it can be proved that be had the horse; he didn’t steal it; another did and passed it to him. I didn’t like the case. I knew that there was a great dislike, to the gang located where she named, and feared to risk the case before a jury. She seemed to observe my intention to refuse the case, aud burst into tears. I never could see a woman weep without feel ing like a weak fool myself. If it hadn’t been for eyes brightened by f pearly tears,’ (blast the poet that made thorn come into fashion.) I’d never been caught in the lasso of matri mony. And my would-be client was pretty. The handkerchief that liid her ripe lips, and her snowy bosom rose and fe.ll like a white gull in a gale of wind at sea. I took the case and she gave me the particulars. The gang, of which he was not a member, had persuaded him to take the horse. He knew the hOrse was stolen, and like a fool acknowledged it when he was arrested Worse still, he bad trimmed the horse’s tail and main to alter his appearance, and the opposition party could prove it. The trial came on. I worked hard to get a jury of ignorant men, who had more heart than brain; who, if they could not fathom the depths of argument, or follow the labyrinthine mates of thg law, could feel for a fellow in-abad fix, weeping and pretty wife nearly broken hearted, and quite distracted. Knowing the use of “ef fect,” I told her to dress la deep mourning, and bring her little cherub of a boy only three years old, into court , and sit as near her husband'as the officer would let her.

A LAWYER’S ADVENTURE. they urged upon him, he had cleVidted from the path of rectitude. The demon <if alchohol had reigned in-his brain; and it was his first offence. Mercy pleaded for another chance to save him from ruin. Justice did not require that his young wife should go doirn sorrowing to the grave, and that the shadow of disgrace and the taunt of a felon father should cross the path of that sweet' child. Oh, bow earnestly did 1 plead for them. The woman wept; the husband did the same; and the jury looked ! melting. If I could have had the closing speech, he would have been cleared; but the prosecutor had the close, and threw ice on the fire I had kindled. But they did not quite ;pnt it out. The judge charged according jto low and evi dence, but evidently leaned on the side of mercy. The jury found a verdict of guilty, but unani mously recommended the prisoner to the mercy of the court. 'My client w aa sentenced to the shortest imprisonment the court Was empowered to give, and both jury and court! signed a peti tion to the governor for an unconditional pardon, which has since been granted, but not before the following incident occurred :! Some three months after thisj I received an account for collection from a wholesale house in New York. The parties to collect from were hard ones, but they had property, and before they had an idea of the trap Ijiid, I had the property, which they were about to assign be fore they broke under attachment! Finding that I was neck ahead and bound to vfin, they ‘caved in’ and ‘forked over’ three thousand seven hun dred and ninety four dollars and eight cents (per memorandum book) in goodjmoney. They lived in Showneetown, about 36 or 40 miles southwest of Moore’s prairie, jl received the funds just after bank opening, hut other busi ness detained me till after dinne(i. I then star ted for C , intending to go as far as the village of Mount Vernon that night. I bad gone along ten or twelve miles, when I noticed a splendid team of double horses at tached to a light wagon in which were seated four men, evidently of a high strung order.— They swept past as if to show bow easy they could do it. They shortened in, and allowed me to come up to them, and hailing me asked me to ‘wet,’ or in other words, ditninish the con tents of a jug of old rye they had in their wagon; but I excused myself with the plea that I had plenty oh board. They asked me how far 1 was going. I told them as far as Mount Vernon, if my horse don’t tire. They mentioned a pleas ant tavern ten or twelve miles Ahead as a nice stopping place, and then drove o^i. I did not like the looks of those fellows nor their actions. I had a brace of revolvers and a nice knife; my money was not in my valise or my sulky, but in my belt around my body. I drove slow, in hopes that they aiould drive on, and 1 should see them no more. ! i It was nearly dark when I saw a tavern sign ahead. At the same time I saw their wagon stolid at the door. I would have pressed on, but mj horse needed rest I hauled up, and a woman came to the door. She turned as pale as death when she saw me—she did not speak—but with a meaning ing look she put her finger to her lipsand beck oned me in; she was the wife of my late client When 1 entered the party recognized me, and hailed me as an old traveling friend, and asked me to drink. I respectfully declined to do so. “By God, you shall drink or fight!” said the noisiest of the party. “ Just as you please ; drink I shall not!” said I purposely showing the butt of a Colt which kicks six times, in rapid succession. The party interposed, and very easily qftelled the assallent. One offered me a aegar, which 1 reluctantly refused, but a glance from the woman induced me to accept. She advanced and prof fered me a light, and in doing sd slipped a note into my band, which she mast have written, a moment before. Never shall I forget the words. They were : “Beware! they are members of the gang.— They mean to rob and murder y<>u ! leave soon; I will detain them !” ' I did not feel comfortable then but tried to feel so. “ Hove you any room to put dp iny horse!” I asked, turning toward the wonian. “ What, ore you not going on to night T” asked one of the men ; “we are.” “ No,” I replied, “ I shall stay all night.” “We’ll all stay, then, 1 guess, and make a night of it,” said another of the put throats. “You’ll have to put up your Cftn horse— here’s a lantern for you,” said the woman. “I am used to that,” I said. “Gentlemen ex cuse me a minute, I’ll join you in a drink when I come id.” | “ Good on your head 1 Mord whiskey, old gal,” shouted they.
