Tbo enso pending befora onr court Interested tbo people deeply. A few mouths previously Jacob Ames bad died, lenviug properly la the amount of $50,- 003 to SCO.OOO, nil of whloh was readily available. At first It was supposed that the old man bo was 87 had died with- out making a will, as be bad often been beard to remark that making n will seemed liko n preparation for death, nnd as there could be no question about tbo inberilnucB of his property, bo did not cbonso to make any such, to him, ghostly tostament. Ills direct nnd only legiti mate beirs were two orphans, both girls, children of his ouly daughter. Ono of them was a cripple, requiring almost tho undivided care and attention of the other, aud both were beloved by nil who kuw them. While people wero feeling glad that tho orphan sisters were to be tbn. grandly providcil for, n man aamed James Arnold presented n will for pro bate, eid to bo tbe last will and testa ment of Jacon Ames, ruado several years before, This Arnold was a nephew-ln- aw of od Jacob, tho child of tt wife's sister, and bad for several years been, employed as business agent aud general accountaut of tbe deceased; nnd when he caused tbe will to be presented, he produced a number of wiWfijrs who lect.uod (bat they had ofleu beard old iVmes say tbat he bad made the only will bo bhoud ever make, nud tbat James Arnold was his heir; and, wh(t seemed to make tbe matter sure, two wiltuses to tho will, 1'oriTter servants or employes of the teslnlor, swore poic'-blauk to having seen Ames place bis signature to the d,aouuieut,o.fter wljicU Ihey siguecl their own names. I entered tbe courl.room late in tbe afternoon of tbe third day, jnst as tho last witness was about to leave Ihe stand; and this witness wasTboinns Oloudman, the servant ju.it alluded to, He had been questioned by n juryman, autl bad a plaiu statement. Everything was against the poor, deserving orphans, and all lu favor of tho despised nephew. In fact, no houest man, under the evidence ,conld have brought in a Verdict against Arnold's claim- The juryman who bad questioned thia witness sat at the eud of the box, and nnd close by bim, among tho spectators stood did Iljrvey Goodriob, who was at that time engaged in tbo paper-mill of Day Lyon, nt Portland. I had known bim years before, whan ho worked for Illce, of Newton. The juror held tic will lu hii band, open, cud Good rich cast bis eyes upon it. I saw tbe old paper-maker start aud tremble. "Let me look at that!" I heard bim whisper, fur I stood close by. The juror, without considering, hind ed bim the document, and before the oounsel could interpose and regain it Goodrich had seen nil bo dcclred, and his first movement, alter relinquishing the will, was lo baslon to the side of tbo orphans' attorney and whisper .hurriedly aud excitedly in bis ear. I saw the nttoruey, whose name was Shipman bend his head attentively and then start to his feet. What was ll? In these few brief moments tbo whole aiplleuoo had ciught the fever of txcitenjeut.for it was clearly evident that something of im portance was on the tapis. "May it please your honor," said Shlpmau, very quietly so calmly and quietly that wo feared it oould bo noth ing of importance afler all "I must nsk the indulgence of the oouct, I wish to prcssut new aud important testimony.'' Thero was a slight war of words between the opposing counsel, after whiah, by permission of tbo oourt, the old paper-maker took tho stand. He gave his uame, resideuco, occupation, eto. , nnd then Mr, Sbipmau pl.toed tho will in his bauds. "Mr. Goodrich, will you please examluo that dooumcnlV" 'I have done no, sir." "What is tho written dato of tbat will?" "Sept S, 1811," auswered tho witness, reading from the instrument. "Now, Mr. Goodrich, will yon please inform the jury aud tbo court if you ohseive anything elsa In or upon that paper which yon hold in your band that would positively affect tbo reliability of that written datt? Make your statement iu your owu way; ouly make it concise and clear." "Your honor, and gentbnicn of the jury,' commenoed the witness, "Ibis piece of paper which I now bold iu my band was mtuufac'.ured by myself, and was calendered nu n machine of my owe inyentiou. The water-lines, in place of tbe ordinary blue ruliug, were included iu my improvement, Vou will also observe, upou close inspection though the ink upou tbe surface has somewhat obscured it my own stamp in water marks.

Tbe judge took the document and held it up agaiust tbe strong light; aud luvoluntartaly be read aloud, so as to be beard by all In tbs room for every breath was bnsbed; "H. Goodrich's patent. Eighteen hundred forty-three The paper was given to the Jury, who were on their feet. Arnolds'! counsel demanded to see it Mr. Cloudmau aud his wife got up and tried to leave tbe room, but were prevsuted. Judge and bir were Iu a state of ferment, while tbe dense audience swayed to aud fro iu eiger, painful suspense. Would this old man's testimony have Its legitimate weight? Ah! bow could it ba otherwise? There was a witness more poteut to au mlelli. gent oourt and )ury than speech ot tongue.

"Is that so?" she asked, with a great show of iulerest. Here, indeed, was a sweet cxamnle of rustic inuoceuce. Storm iug like all tbe furjes aurl had been for Uiue cousecutivo hours, and yet she seemed to know nothing about It. "Poor, credulous, simple thing,'' ho thought. She'll be madly in love with me In fif teen minutes." "Going far?" bo inquired, "Oh, tin awful long way)'" "How sweet and childish! ' thought tbe gripsack men. "How far nro you golpg?" ho asked, "01 way off." "To St. Louis?'' 'My, yes, nud further than that."
