He was a villain! ‘ l. need not say I felt __a_deep interest_ in the case of my cl ien and resolved to bring matters to an issue at once. The next day when she called, she directed me to her sister, by who'll it could be proved that Mrs. Gordon could not write her name; who had seen her make a mark often, and within a very short time. The person who professed to have wit-, nessed the signature of Mrs. Gordon, was a clerk in the office of Peter. My first move was'to take steps to arrest him on a charge of fraud, and to sue his employer for my client's share of the rents, which he had just collected, and which he had refused to pay over to her. When I had proceeded thus far, I recei ved a visit from Peter Gordon. "What do you mean, sir ?" he -asked rather sourly. "I mean to get justice for the •widow." "Her husband was worth nothing when he died, " "How so?" "It was sold to me and she signed away her right to dower." "Did she ?" "Certainly she did." "Did you see her sign it ?". "To be sure I did ; so did my clerk." "There is a warrant out for 'the arrest of your clerk, and I have some hopes that We will:turn State's evidence, and convict his principal." • He started back with a look of astonish ment and terror. "I—l don't understand you," he stammered out. "Don't trouble yourself about is, sir, you will understand it all in good time." "For God's sake don't arrest my Work, lie will be the ruin of me." "You should have thought of that be fore," said I. "You don't mean to say that everything isn't all right about my brother's affairs. Because if it isn't I will make it all right, you know." "You say that Mrs. Gray signed that - desld 7" "Well—no ; not exactly ; brit I suppose she, signed it." "You know she didn't." "How should I know 7" .448 he can't write.

THE FATHER OF WATERB.—The vastness of the great Mississippi river, is thus giv er by a newspaper correspondent, who writes from Maideh Hock, Wisconsin: "While 1 look upon the river three miles wide at this point, my mind scorns Ito take in at ono grasp the magnitude of the stream. From the frozen regions of the north to the sunny south, it extends same twenty-three hundred miles, and with the Missouri is 4,500 miles:in length It would reach from New York across the Atlantic, and extend from France to Tur key and the Caspian sea. Its average depth from its source in Lake Itasca, Mi nesota, to its delta in the Gulf of Mexico, is fifty feet and half a mile wide. The trapper on the Upper Mississippi, can take.the•fhrs of the animals that inhabit its sources and exchange them for the tro pical fruits that are gathered on the bank below. Slaves toil at one end of this great. thoroug' fare, while the free red men of the forest roam at the other' end. The floods are more than a month in traveling from its source to its delta. The total number of steamers afloat on this river and its tributaries are 11,500;--=more than twice thd'entire tonnage of England, and equal to that of all other parts of -he world.' It receives a score of tributaries, the least of which are stronger than the vaunted streams of mighty empires. It. might tUr nish natural boundaries for' all Europe, and yet leave for every country a river longer than the Seine. It engulfs more every year than the revenue of many petty kingdoms, and rolls a volume in whose depths the cathedral of St. Paul could be sunk out of sight. It discharges in one year,.more water than has issued from the Tiber in five ..centuries; it swallows up fif ty rivers which have no names, each of which are longer than the Thames. The addition of the waters of the Danube would not swell it half a fathom ; in one single reservoir, (Pepin) 2,500.mi1es from the sea, the navies might safely ride at anchor. It washes the shores of twelve powerful States and between its arms lie spaces for twenty more." Brandytoddy three reasons for not drinking are very characteristic of that gentleman. "'fake something to drink P" said his friend to him one day. "No thank you," replied Mr. B. "No !. why not ?" inquired his friend, in great amazement. - "In the first place," returned Mr. Bran dytoddy,"' I am secretary of a temperance organization that meets i to-day, mid I must preserve my temperance character. In the second place this , is the anniversary of my father's death, and out of respect to him I have promised never to drink on this day. And in the third place I have just taken something." AN AFFECTIONATE II USBAND.—Harlan Hyde, of Greenville, Connecticut, lost his third "wife one year ago. About a week since he went to the cemetery, dug open the grave, opened the coffin, and took out —what ?--a set of false teeth, for the sake of the gold plate. Hyde confesses and justifies himself, He ie about fifty years of age, a honse carpenter by trade, In circumstan ces as to property, and a member of a Christian church. It is currently report- ed that he tried to get the teeth out as she lay dead in his house before the funeral ; but the rigid muscles would not, relax.— The women of Greenville wish to tar and and feather him.

HOW to Make a Barn-Yard. The best way in my opinion to form a barn-yard for the preservation of manur e , without its becoming muddy, where the ground is higher than sonic of its 41:111'01111- ning park, is to plough and, scrape ,from the centre to the out..-ide, making a 'gradual descent from the outside to the 'centre. Let the fall be one hull' foot in ten, and falling a little more as you near the centre. l)ig a drain from the centre to sonic suitable place without the yard, where you can construct a vat to put in leaves, sods, muck, &e., which will absorb and retain the liquid from the yard. The bottom and sides may be formed ofplank or may he more substantially built of stone and mortar. The top of the vat should be made so as to guard against rains and sm.-, I face water as much as possible. The fdrain should fall considerab:y, nurl 511011141 be made of plank eight inches high and one foot wide inside. The head of the, drain should he covered over with a good.' strong iron grate'. The yard ought to be' well paved with cobble stone, and with a little pains you can always have a dry yard.

Gen. Havelock . npon,Faanily The following from one who enjoyed much personal communion with the de ceased General, will be regarded as an il lustration of the men's character not with out significance.- During his stay in Eng land, the narrator of this anecdote went one evening to the house of the colouel,in compliance with an invitation. In the course of conversation Mrs. Havelock tur ned suddenly to her husband and said— "By the way, my dear, where is Harry?" referring to, her son whom she bad not seen during the whole afternoon. The co lonel started to his feet. "Well, poor fel low, he is standing on London bridg?, and in this cold, too ; I told him to wait for! me there at 12 o'clock to-day and in - the pressureOf business 1 quite for got the appointment.." The father rind son were to have met at 12 at noon, and it was now after seven o'clock in the even ing. Yet the lather seemed to have no: doubt. that Barry would not move from his post till he appeared. The colonel at once rose, ordered a cab to be called; and, as he wait forth to deliver his son from his weary.watch on London biidge,he tur-! ne Ito his visitor, saying : "You see, that's the discipline of a soldie'r's family?' In the coursO of an hour the colonel retur ned with poor Harry; who although he! seemed somewhat affected with the cold watch, and glad „to geo the fire in tho; comfortable. parlor at home, seemed• to: have passed through the little afternoon's experience with the greatest-good humor, ,11ff the feeling that all was right,—.E'clin-' burg DailiiErßress. serA young man having entertained a tender passion for a young woman, felt' such insurmountable diffidence as to pre vont his ever disclosing the same to the fair empress of his heart, resolved on an exl edient which would bring the business ito an issue. He went to the clergyman and requested the bans of marriage might be published according to law. When the publication was brought to her ears she was filled with astonishment; atm went to him to vent her resentment. He bore the' sally with fortitude, observing that if WW I did not think proper to have him shei could go to the clergyman and forbid the banns. A fter a moment's pause she took wit in her anger,and said—"as it has been done, it is a pity that the chilling should dc thrown, away."
