THE GATE.
Tell me that sweet story, unole,
That you promised to relate,
When together we were walking
Down the garden to the Gate.
It reminded you of something
You had read of, or had seen ;
Something pleasant that had happened,
May be, when you saw the Queen.
Then my uncle touohed hia forehead,
As the thought he would recall,
But he seemed to be oblivious,
Could not recollect at all.
In his books, and in his travels,
Many a gate ho know indeed,
But of one with a sweet story,
Who could over hear or read.
If I would permit a sermon,
Haply soon the doubt should cease
Lo, tho narrow gate of Virtue,
And its pleasant paths of peace.
Enter at the radiant portal,
Happy ever maiden there;
Flowers of truth forever blooming ;
Life immortal iu the air.
Shun the fatal gate of Folly ;
Huin in her jewelled arm, c
Sorrow in her gaudy bowers,
Death in every seeming charm.
Sampson andthe gates of Gaza,
Too were an instructive tale,
How a beautiful Delilah
May o’er mighty man prevail.
You may read in Trojan story,
How a luokless gate they made,
To receive the fierce invader,
In a wooden horse conveyed ;
Noblo and heroic Ilium,
Thus to meet so sad a fate,
For a fair but faithless Helen,
Tempted from her husband’s gate.
Shall I tell you of the Hurl gate,
Fast by Manhatta’s shore;
Or the gate of Eldorado,
Wheuco they bring the golden ore,
Or yon toll gate, whero tho traveller,
Prinoo or peasant, still must pay ;
E’en as all on life’s brief journey
Weep their tribute by the way.
Gates romantio and historic,
Crowding all tho paths of time,
Ever since the gatos of Edon
Opened earth to love and crime.
Gates of ca3tles, gates of dungeons,
And the flood-gate at the mill;
But the ouo with a sweet story,
He could not remember still.
Boeing then my disappointment,
Undo seemed to try again ;
Oh, ah, yea —a scene last evening,
Might the mystery explain.
He was sitting at his oasemont,
Musing in tho Moon’s bright beam,
When a footstep down the garden,
Broke his meditative dream.
And, said he, would you believe it,
As I held my breath in chook,
I saw Edward at tho wicket,
With —your arm around his neck !
And ho whispered a sweet story,
As he drew you to his breast,
And, but hero I stopt my uncle, —
And didn't tell the rest.
From tho Southorn Literary Messongor.
MY DEBUT AT THE BAR.
My client was a respeotable butcher ;
his opponent a well-to-do farmer. On
getting to the court house, I found the
oourt in session. The clerk was just read
ing ■ the minutes. My case —l oan well
speak in the singular—was the first sot on
the dooket for that morning. I looked
around and saw old Kasm, who somehow
had found out that I was in the oase, with
his green bag and half a library of old
books on the bar before him. The old
fellow gave me a loßk of malioious pleas
ure—like, that of a hungry tiger from his
lair, east upon an unsuspeoting calf brows
ing near. I had tried to put on a bold
face. I thought it would be very unpro
fessional to let on to my olient that I was
at all scared, though my heart was running
down like a jaok-sorew under a heavy
wagon. My conscience—l had not prac
tised it away then—was not quiet easy.—
I oouldn’t help feeling that it was hardly
honest to be leading my client, like Fal
staff his men, where he was sure to be pep
pered. But then it was my only chanoe;
my bread depended upon it; and I reflect
ed that the same thing is to happen in
every lawyer’s praotice. I tried to arrange
my ideas in form and ex-eogitate'a speech ;
they flitted through my brain in odds and
ends. I could neither think nor quit
thinking. I would lose myself in the first
twenty words of the opening sentence,
and stop at a particle ; the trial run clean
out. 1 would start it again with no bet
ter luck; then 1 thought a moment of the
disgrace of a dead break down ; and then
I would commence again with, ‘ Gentle
men of the jury,’ etc., and so on as before.
At length the Judge signed the minutes,
and took up the docket: ‘ Special oase—
Higginbotham vs. Swink; slander. Mr,
Glendys for plaintiff, Mr. Kasm for defen
dant. Is Mr. G. in court 1 Call him,
sheriff.’ The sheriff called three times.—
He might as well have called the dead.—
No answer of course came. Mr. Kasid
arose, and told the Oourt that he was sorry
his brother was too much (stroking his
ohin, and looking down and pausing) in
disposed, or otherwise engaged to attend
to the ease ; but he must insist on its being
disposed of, etc.; the court said it should
be. I then spoke up (though my voice
seemed to me very low down, and very hard
to get up,) that I had just been spoken to
in the cause. I believed we were ready,
if the oase must then be tried; but I
Bhould much prefer it to be laid over, if
the court would consent, until the next
day, or even that evening. Kasm protest
ed vehemently against this, reminded the
court of its peremptory order ; referred to
the former proceedings, and was going on
to discuss the whole merits of the case,
when he was interrupted by the Judge,
who, turning himself to me, remarked that
he should be happy to oblige me, but that
he was precluded by what had happened ;
he hoped, however, that the counsel on the
other side would extend the desired indul
gence ; to which Kasm rejoined that this
was a case in whioh he neither asked fa
vors nor meant to give them. So the case
had to go on.
Several members of the bar had their
hats in their hands, ready to leave the
room, when the case “was called up ; but,
seeing that I was in it alone, suffered their
ouriosity to get the better of their engage
ments, and staid to see it out—a circum
stance that did not dimish my trepidation
in the least. " . /
I had my witnesses called .up, posted
my olient behind me in the bar, and put
the oase to the jury. The defendant had
pleaded justification, and not guilty. I
got along pretty well, I thought, on the
proofs. The oross-examinatipn of old
Kasm did not seem to me to -hurt any
thing ; though he quibbled, misoonstrued
and bullied mightily—objected to aU my
| questions as leading, and all the witnesses’
answers as irrevolant 5 but the Judge,
who was a very olever sort of a man, and
| didn’t like Kasm muoh, helped me along
I and over the bad places, occasionally tak
, ing the examination himself, when old
Kasm had got the statements of the wit
ness in a fog.
I had a strong case ; the plaintiff show
ed a good character—that the Lodge of
Masons had refused to admit him to fel
lowship until he had oleared up these
charges; that the Methodist church, of
which he was a class-leader, had required
of him to have these charges judicially
settled; that he had offered to satisfy the
defendant that they were false, and pro
posed to refer it to disinterested tuen, and
j to be satisfied, if they decided for him, to
i receive a written retraction, in which the
defendant should only declare he was
mistaken ; that the defendant had refused
this proffer and reiterated the charges with
increased bitterness and aggravated insult;
that the plaintiff had suffered in reputation
and credit ; that the defendant had de
clared he meant to run off and buy his
land at his (defendant’s) own price, and
that defendant was rich, and often repeat
ed his slander at public meetings, and
ouce at the church door, and finally, now
justified.
The defendant’s testimony was weak ;
it aid not controvert the proof as to the
speakiug of the words of the matters of
aggravation. Many witnesses were exam
ined as to the character of the plaintiff;
but those against us only referred to what
they had heard since the slanders, except
one, who was unfriendly. Some witnesses i
spoke of butchering hogs at .night, aud '
hearing them squeal at a late hour at the
plaintiff’s slaughter house, and of the dead :
hogs they had seen with various marks, ■
and something of hogs having been stolen
in the neighborhood. This was about all
the proof. The plaintiff laid his damages
at ten thousaud dollars.
I rose to address the jury. By this
time a good deal of the exoitement had
worn off. The tremor left only gave me
that sort of feeling which is rather favora
ble than otherwise to a public speaker.
1 might have made a pretty good out of
it if I had thrown myself upon the merits
of my case, acknowledged modestly my
own inexperience, plainly stated the, evi
dence and the law, and let the case go—
reserving myself in the conclusion ‘ for a
splurge,’ if I chose to make one. But
the evil genius that presides over the first
bantlings of all lawyerings would have it
otherwise. The citizens of the town, and
those of the country then in the village,
had gathered in great numbers into the
court house to hear the speeches, and I
could not miss such an opportunity for
display.
Looking over the jury, I found them a
plain, matter of faot looking set of fel
lows ; but 1 did not note, or probably
know a fact or two about them, which I
found out afterwards.
I started, as .1 thought, in pretty good
style. As I went on, my fanoy began to
get the better of my judgment. Argu
ments and. oouimon sense grew tame.
Poetry and declamation, and at last
pathos and fiery inveotive took their plaoe.
1 grew as 1 quotations ’ as Richard Swivel
ler. Shakspeare suffered. I quoted
among other things of less value and
aptness, ‘He who steals my purse steals
trash,’ eto. I spoke of the woeful suffer
ings of my poor client, almost broken
hearted beneath the weight of the terrible
persecution of his enemy ; and growing
bolder 1 turned on old Kasm, and con
gratulated the jury that the genius of
slander had found an appropriate defender
in the genius of chicane and malignity. I
complimented the jury on their patience, on
their estimate of the value of character;
spoke of the public expectation, of that feel
ing outside of the box which would welcome
with thundering plaudits' the righteous
verdict the jury would render ; and wound
up by declaring that I had never known a
oase of slander so aggravated in the
course of my praotice at the bar; and
felicitated myself that its grossness and
barbarity justified my olient in relying
upon even the youth and inexperience of
an unpracticed advocate, whose poverty of
resources was unpaid by opportunities of
previous preparation. Much more I said
that happily has now escaped me.
When I concluded, Sam Hicks and one
or two other friends gave.a faint sigh of
applause, but not enough to make any
impression.
I observed that old Kasm held his
head down while I was speaking; 1
entertained the hope that 1 had cowed
him! His usual forte was that of cynical
composure, or bold and brazen defiance.
It was a special kindness if he only
smiled in covert scorn ; that was his most
amiable expression in a trial.
Bat when he raised up his head I saw
the very devil was to pay. His face was
of a burning red. He seemed almost to
ohoke with his rage. His eyes were blood
shot, and flamed out fire and fury, ills
queue stuck out behind, and shook itself
stiffly, like a buffalo ball’s tail when he is
about making a fatal plunge.’ I had
struck between wind and water. ! There
was an audacity in a stripling like me
bearding him which infuriated him. —He
meant to massacre me, and panted to be
a long time doing it. It was a regular
auto de fe. I was to be the representative
of the young bar, and to expatiate his
malice against all. The Court then
adjonrned for dinner. It assembled again
after an hour’s reoess.
By this • time the publio interest, and
especially that of the bar, grew very
great. Thero was a rush to the privileged
seats, and the sheriff had to command
order, the shuffling of feet and the press
ure of the crowd forward was so great.
I took my seat within the bar, looked
around with an affection of indifference,
so belying the perturbation within that the
same power of acting on the stage would
have made my fortune on that theatre.
Kasm rose—took a glass of Water; his
hand trembled a little—l oould see that;
took a pinoh of snuff, and led off in a
voice slow and measured, but slightly,
very slightly tremulous. By a strong
effort he had recovered his composure.
The bar was surprised at his calmness.
They all knew it was affected ; but they
all wondered that he oould affect it.
Nobody was deoeived by it. We felt
assured that ‘ it was the torrent’s smooth
ness ere it dashed below.’ I thought he
would oome down on me in a tempest, and
flattered myself it would Boon 'be over.
But malice is oumting. He had no idea
of letting me off so easily.
“THAT COUNTRY IS THE HOST PROSPEROUS WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”-
LANCASTER CITY. PA., TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 25, 1859.
He commenced by saying that be had
been some years in the practice. He would
not say be was an old man ; that would
be in bad taste, perhaps. The young
gentleman who had just olosed bis remark
able speech, haranaue, poetic offusion,
rigmarole, or whatever it might be oalled,
if, indeed, any name could be safely given
to his motley mixture of incongruous
slang—the young gentleman evidently did
not think he was an old man, for he oould
hardly be guilty of such rank indecenoy
as to have treated age with such disrespeot
—he would not say with suoh insufferable
impertinence; ‘ and yet I am,’ he con
tiuned, < of age enough to recollect, if I
had oharged my memory with so incon
siderable an event, the day of his birth,
and then I was in full practice iu this
court house. I confess though, gentle
men, I am old enough to remember the
period when a youth’s first appearance at
the bar was not signalized by impertinence
towards his seniors ; and when public
opinion did not commend flatulent bombast
and florid trash, picked out of fifth-rate
romances, and nambypamby rhymes,
repeated by the upstart sauciness of a raw
popinjay toward the experienced members
of the profession he disgraced. And yet
to some extent this rantiog youth may be
right. lam uot old in that sense
which disables me from defending myself
here, by words, or elsewhere, if need be,
by blows ; and that this young gentleman
shall right well know before 1 have done
with him. You will bear iu mind, gentle
men, that what I say is in self-defence—
that 1 did not begin this quarrel—that
was forced ou me ; and that I am bound
by no restraint of kindness, or of courtesy,
or of respect. Let him charge to the
aocount of his rashness and rudness
whatever he receives in return thereof.
Let me retort on the youth, that he is
a worthy advocate of his butcher client.
He fights with the dirty weapons of his
barberous trade and brings in his speech the
reeking odor oMiis client’s slaughter Bouse.
Perhaps something of this congeniality
commended him to the notice of his
worthy client, and to this, his first
retainer ; and no wonder, for when we
heard his vehement roaiing, we might
have supposed that his olient had brought
his most unruly bull-calf into court to
defend him, had not the matter of the
roaring soon convinced us the animal was
more remarkable for the length of his ears,
than the power of his lungs. Perhaps
the young gentleman has taken his retainer,
and contracted for butchering my client
on the same terms as his client contraots
in his line—that is on the shares. But
I think, gentlemen, he will find the con
tract a more dirty than profitable job.
Or perhaps it might not be uncharitable
to suggest that his olient, who eerns to
be pretty well up to the business of
‘ saving other peoples’ baoon,’ may have
desired, as far as possible, to save his
own ; and, therefore, turning from the
members of the bar who would have
oharged him for their services aooording
to their value, took this oooasion of getting
off some of his stale wares ; for has not
Shakspeare said—the gentleman will allow
mo to quote Shakspeare, too, while yet
his reputation survives his barbarous
mouthing of the poet’s words—he knew
an attorney ‘ who would defend a oause
for a starved hen, or a leg of mutton fly
blown.’ I trust, however, whatever was
the contract, the gentleman will make his
equally worthy olient stand up to it; for
I should like that on one oooasion it
might be said the excellent butoher was
made to pay for his swine.
I find it difficult, gentlemen, to reply to
any part of this young man’s effort, except
his argument, whioh is the-smallest part
in compass, and next to his pathos, the
most amusing. His figures of speech are
some of them, quite good, and have been
so considered by the best judges for the
last thousand years. I must confess that,
as to these, I find no fault than they were
badly applied and ridiculously pronounoed;
and this further fault, that they have
beoome so common-place by constant use,
that unless some new vamping or felicity
of application be given them, they tire
nearly as muoh as his original matter—
videlicet, that matter which being more
ridiculous than we have ever heard before,
carries internal evidence of its being his
own. Indeed, it was never hard to tall
when the gentleman recurred to his own
ideas. He is like a cat-bird—the only
intolerable discord she makes being her
own notes; though she gets on well
enough as long as she copies and cobbles
the songs of other warblers.
But, gentlemen, if this young orator’s
argument was amusing, what shail I say
of his pathos ? What farce ever equalled
the fun of it ? The play of ‘ The Liar ’
probably approaches nearest to it—not
only in the humor, but in the veracious
character of the incident from whioh tke
humor comes. Such farce—so woe-begone,
ko~ whimpering, as if the short period
sinoe he was flogged at Bohool (probably
in reference to those eggs falsely charged
to the hound-puppy), had neither obliter
ated the remembrance of his juvenile
affliction, or the looks he bore when he
endured it.
There was something so exquisite in
tljis picture of the woes, the wasting grief
of his disconsolate client, the butcher,
Higginbotham, mourning as Rachel
mourned for her children—for his charac
ter, because it was not. Gentlemen, look
at him! He weighs twelve stone now.—
He has three inches of fat on his ribs this
minute. He would make as many links of
sausage as any hog that ever squealed at
midnight in his «laughter pen, and has
lard enough in him to cook it all. Look
at his face! Why his chops remind a
hungry man of jowls and greens. If this
is a shadow, in the name of propriety, why
didn’t he show himself, when in flesh, at
the last fair beside the Kentucky ox ; that
were a more honest way of making a
living than stealing hogs. But Higgin
botham is pining in grief 1 I wonder the
poetio youth, his learned counsel, did not
quote Shakespeare again. He never told
his woes, but ‘ let concealment, like the
worm in the bud, prey upon his damask
oheek.’ He looked like patience on a
monument smiling at grief—or at beef, I
should rather say. But, gentlemen, prob
ably I am wrong; “*?t may be that this
tender-hearted, sensitive butoher was lean
before, and, like Falstaff, throws the blame
of his fat on sorrow and sighing, which
‘ has puffed him up like a bladder.’—
(Here Higginbotham left in disgust.)
There, gentlemen, he goes, ‘ larding the
lean earth as he goes along.’ Well has
Dr. Johnson said, ‘ Who kills fat oxen
should : himself be fat.’ Poor Hig!
staffed like one of his own blood puddings
with a dropsioal grief whioh nothing short
of ten thousand dollars of Swink’s money
oan oure. Well, as grief puffs him up, I
don’t wonder that nothing bat depleting
another man oan cure him.
Aud now, geDtlemen, I come to the
blood and thunder part of this young
gentleman’s harangue, empty and vapid
words, and nothing else. If any part,
of his rigmarole was windier than any
other part, this was it. He turned him
self into a small cascade, making a great
deal of noise to make a great deal of
froth; tumbling, roaring, foaming; the
shallower it run, all the noisier it seemed.
He fretted and knitted his brow ; he beat
the air, and he vociferated, always empha
sizing the meaningless words most loudly ;
he puffed, swelled out, blowed off until he
seemed like a new bellows, all brass and
wind. How he mouthed it—as those
villainous Btage players, ranting out fustian
in a barn, theatre mimicing—‘ Who steals
my purse steals trash.’ (I don't deny it.)
‘ ’Tis something,’ (query ?) 1 nothing ’ j
exactly. ‘ ’Tis mine ; ’twas his, and has j
been slave to thousands—but he who ’
filches from me my good name, robs me of
that which not enrieheth him,’ (not in the
least) ‘ but makes me poor indeed,’ (just
bo, but whether any poorer than before he
parted with the encumbrance is another
matter.)
But the young gentleman refers to his
youth. He ought , not to reproach us of
maturer age in that indirect way ; no one
would have suspected it of him, or him of
it, if he had not told it; indeed, from
heariog him speak, we were prepared to
give him fcredit for almost any length of
ears. But does not the youth remember
that Grotius was only seventeen when he
was in full practice, and that he was at
torney general at twenty-two ; and what
is Grotius to this greater light! Not the
burning of my smoke house to the confla
gration of Moscow!
And yet young Grotius tells' us in the
next breath that he never knew suoh a
slander in the course of his praotioe !
Wonderful indeed ! seeing that his prac
tice has all been done within the last six
hours. Why, to hear him talk, you would
suppose he was an old Continental lawyer
grown gray in the service. H-i-8 p-r-a-c
-t-i-c-e! Why, he’s just in his legal
swaddling clothes ! His practice ! But
I don’t wonder he don’t see the absurdity
of such talk. How long does it take one
of the canine tribe, after birth, to open
its eyes 1
He talked, too, of outside influence ; of
the public expectations, and all that sort
of demagogueism, 1 observed no evidence
of any popular demonstrations in his favor,
unless it be a tailor I saw stamping his
feet; but whether that was beoause he
had sat cross-legged so long he wanted
exercise, or was rejoicing because he had
got orders for a new or a prospect of
payment for an old one, the gentleman
oan probably tell better than I oan. (Here
Hicks left.) However, if this oase is to
be deoided here, the gentleman will allow
me the beuefic of a writ of error to the
regimental muster to be held next Friday
at Reinhart’s distillery.
But I suppose he meant to frighten you
into a verdict by intimating that the mob,
frenzied by his eloquence, would tear you
in pieces if you gave a verdict for defen
dant ; like the equally eloquent barrister
out West, who, ooncludiog a case, said,
‘ Gentlemen, my client is as innqpent of
stealing that ootting as the setting sun at
noon-day, and if you give in agin him
his brother, Sam Kotchius, next muster
will maul every mother’s son of you.’ I
hope the sheriff will see to his duty, and
keep the orowd from you, gentlemen, if
you should give us a verdict!
But, gentlemen, I am tired of- winnow
ing chaff; I have not had the reward paid
by Gratiano for sifting his discourse—two
grains of wheat to the bushel. It is all
froth, all wind, all bubble!’
Kasm left me here for a time, and
turned upon my client. Poor Higgin
botham caught it thick and heavy. He
wooled him, then skinned him, and then
tock to skinning off the under cutiole.—
Hig never skinned a beef so thoroughly.
He put together all the facts about the
witnesses hearing the hogs squeal at
night; the different marks of the hogs ;
the losses in the neighborhood ; perverted
the testimony and supplied omissions, until
you would suppose on hearing him that if
had been fully proved that poor Hig had
stolen all the meat he had ever sold in the
market. He asseverated that his suit was
a malicious conspiracy against the Metho
dists and Masons to crush his client. But
all this I leave out, as not bearing on the
main subject—myself.
He came back to me. with a renewed ap
petite. He said he would conclude by
paying his valedictory respects to his juve
nile friend, as this was the last time he
ever expected to have the pleasure of
meeting him.
The poetic young gentleman had said,
that by your verdict against his olient you
would blight forever his reputation and
that of his family—th'dPyou would bend
down the spirit of his manly son, and dim
the radianoe of his blooming daughter’s
beauty. Vary pretty, upon my word!—
But, gentlemen, not so fine, not so poeti
oal by half, as a precious morceau
of poetry whioh adorns the columns of the
village newspaper, bearing the initials of
J. C. R. As this admirable production
has excited a great deal of applause in the
nurseries and boarding soliools, I must beg
to read it, not for the instruction of the
gentleman, Rnt-farthe entertainment of
the jury. Iv is addressed to R ■ B ,
a young lady of this place; Here it goes.
Judj-e of my horror when, on looking
up, | saw him take an old newspaper from
his pooket, and, pulling down his specta
cles! begin to read, in stage actor style,
some verses I had written for Rose Bell’s
album. Rose bad been worrying me some
time to write her something. To get rid
of her importunities, I had soribbled off a
lines and copied them into the precious
volume. Rose, the little fool, took them
for something clever, (she never had more,
than a thimble full of brains in her doll
baby head,) and was so tickled with them
that she got her brother Bill, about four
teen, to copy them off, as well as he could,
and take them to the printing office. Bill
threw them under the door., The printer,
as big a fool as either, not only published
them, bnt, in his infernal kindness, puffed
them in some critioal commendations of his
own, referring to the “gifted author” as
“one of the most promising of the younger
members of our bar.”
9 —BUCHANAN.
The fun by this time grew fast and furi
ous. The country people, who have abont
as muoh sympathy for a young town law
yer badgered by an elder one, as for a
young oub beset by ours, and who have as
muoh idea or respeot for poetry as for
witoheraft, joined in the mirth with glee.
They crowded around old Kasm, and
stamped and roared as at a oirens. The
judge and sheriff in vain tried to keep or
der. Indeed, his honor smiled out loud
once or twice, and, to cover hig retreat,
pretended to cough, and fined the sheriff
five dollars for not keeping silenoe in
oourt. Even the old olerk, whose im- ;
memorial pen behind his right ear had
worn the hair from that side of his head, 1
and who had not smiled in court for :
twenty years, and boasted that Patriok
Henry conldn’t disturb him in making up i
a judgment entry, aotually turned his !
chair from the desk and put down his pen ; j
afterwards he put his hand to his head
three times in search for it, forgetting, in
his attention to old Kasm, what he had
done with it. !
Old Kasm went on reading and com
menting by turns ; I forget what the inef
fable trash was. I wouldn’t recollect if I
could. My equanimity will only stand a
phrase or two that still lingers in my
memory, fixed there by old Kasm’s ridi
cule. I had said something about my
“bosom’s anguish”—about the passion
that was consuming me ; and, to illustrate
it, or-to-make-tfaß~liae jingle, put in some
thing about “Egypt’s\Queen taking the
asp tether bosom”— for the sake of
rhyme or metre, I oalled the venomous
worm—how the confounded thing was
brought in I neither kntow nor want to
know. When old Kasm came to that, he
said he fully appreciated the young
bard said—he believed it. \ He spoke of
venomous worms. Now if he (Kasm)
might presume to give the young gentle
man advice, he would reoommenS Swaim’s
patent vermifuge. He had no doubt but
that it wonld effeotually oure him\of his
malady, his love, and last, but not \east,
of his rhymes—which would be the happi
est passage in his eventful history.
I couldn’t stand it any longer ; I had
borne it to the last point of human endur
ance. When it came only to skinning 1
was there ; but whep he showered down
aquafortis on the rit>.v, and then seemed
disposed to rub it in, I fled. ‘ Abii, erupi,

Kasm oalling me back, amidst the shouts
oi the audience—but no more.

The next information I received of the
case was a letter that oame to me at
Natchez, my new residence, from Hiok’s,
about a month afterward, telling me that
the jury (on which I should have stated
that old Kasm had got two infidels and
four anti-masons) had given a verdiot for
defendant, that before the oourt adjourned
Frank Glendy had got sober and moved
for a new trial, on the ground that the
verdiot was against the evidenoo, and that
the plaintiff had not had justioe by reason
of the inoompetenoy of his oounsel, and
the abandonment of his oause ; and that
he got a new trial, as well he sohuld have
done.

NEW STYLES—PRICES FROM $5 0 TO $125
EXTRA CHARGE nP $5 POR HEMMERS.
730 Chestnut strut. Philadelphia. 495 Broadway. N. York.
Agencies in all principal Cities and Towns in the U. S.
These Machines sew from two spools, os purchased from
the store, requiring no re-winding of thread; they nem,
Fell, Gather and Stitch in a superior style, finishing each
seam by their own operation, without recourse to the hand
needle, as is required by other machines. They will do
better and cheaper sewing than a seamstress can, even if
she works for one cent an hour, and are, unquestionably,
the best Machines. in the market for family sewing, on ac
connt of their simplicity, durability, ease of management,
and adaptation to all varieties of family 6ewing—executing
either heavy or fine wo.k with equal facility, and without
special adjustment.
As evidence of the onquestioned superiority of their Ma
chines. the Grover 4 Baker Sewing Machine Company beg
leave to respectfully refer to the following
TESTIMONIALS.
“Having had one of Grover 4 Baker’s Machines in my
family for nearly a year and a half, I take pleasure in com
mending it as every way reliable for the purpose for which
it is designed—Family Sewing.”— Mrs. Joshua Leavitt, wife
of Rev. Dr. Leavitt, Editor of N. Y. Indepeiule.nl.
“I am delighted with your Sewing Machine, which has
been in my family for many moDtbs. It has always been
ready for duty, requiring no adjustment, and Is easily
adapted to every variety of family sewing, by simply
changing the spoolß of thread.”— Mrs. Elisabeth Strickland,
wife of Rev. Dr. Strickland, Editor New York Christian
'Advocate.
“After trying several diflerentgood machines, I preferred
yours, on account of its simplicity, aud the perfect ease
with which it is managed, as well as the strength and du
rability of the seam. After long experience. I feel compe
tent to speak in this manner, and to confidently recommend
it for every variety of family sewing.”— Mrs. E. B. Spooner,
wife of the Editor of Brooklyn Star.
“I have nsed a Grover 4 Baker Sewing Machine fur two
years, and have found it adapted to all kinds of family
sewing, from Cambric to Broadcloth. Garments have been
worn out without the giving way of a Btitch. Tbe Machine
is easily kept in order, and easily used.”— Mrs. A. B. Whip
pie. wife of Rev. Geo. Whipple, New York.
“Your Sewing Machine has been in use in my family tbe
past two years, and tbe ladies request me to give you their
testimonials to its perfect adaptedness, as well as labor
saving qualities in the performance of family and house
hold sewing.”— Robert Boorman, New York.
“For several months we have used Grover 4 Baker’s
Sewing Machine, aud have come to the conclusion that
every lady who desires her sewing beautifully and quickly
done, would be most fortunate in possessing one of these
reliable and indefatigable ’iron needle women,’ whose com
bined qualities of beauty, strength, and simplicity, are In
valuable.”—J• W. Morris , daughter of Gen. Geo. P. Morris,
Editor of the Home Journal.
Extract of a letter from Thos. R. Leavitt, Esq., an Amer
ican gentleman, now resident in New South Wales, dated
January 12,1858:
“I bad a tent made in Melbourne, in 1853, In which there
were over three thousand yards of sewing done with ooe
of Grover 4 Baker’s Machines, and a single 6eam of that
has ootstood all tbe double seams sewed by sailors with a
needle and twine.”
“If Homer coaid be called up from his murky hades, he
would sing the advent of Grover 4 Baker as a more benig
nant miracle of art than was ever Vulcan’s smithy. He
would denounce midnight shirt-making as ‘the direful
spring of woes unnumbered.’ "—Prof. North.
“I take pleasure in saying that the Grover 4 Baker Sew
ing Machines have more than sustained my expectation.—
After trying and returning others, I have three of them in
operation in my different places, and, after four years’ trial,
have no fault to find.”— J. H. Hammond, Senator of South
Carolina.
“My wife his bad One of Grover 4 Baker’s Family Sewing
Machines for some time, and I am satisfied it is one of the
best labor-saviog machines that has been Invented. I take
much pleasure in recommending it to the public.”—l. Q.
Harris, Governor of Tennessee.
“It Is a beautiful thing, and puts everybody Into an ex
citement of good hnmor. Were 1 a Catholic, I should insist
upon Saints Grover and Baker having an eternal holiday
in commemoration of their good deeds for humanity.”—
Cassius M. Clay.
“I think it by far tbe best patent in use. This Machine
can be adapted from the finest cambric to the heaviest cas
simere. It sews stronger, faster, and more beautifully than
one can imagine. If mine could not be replaced, money
could not buy it.”— Mrs. J. G. Brown, Nashville, Turn.

The subscriber having several hundred dollars of bill*
of the Lancaster Bank, is desirous of collecting them off
the stockholders, as the Bank refuses payment. Now, a*
it is hard for one man to tight a thousand, I take this
method of equalizing the expense, and hope all who have
Lancaster Bank bills will immediately send them to me
for collection, for soon they will be worthless for the want
of attending to. It will cost from Five to Tea Thousand
Dollars to push the matter through the Court*. I wtfnt
parties to seua me at the iute of Five Dollars to the hun
dred to pay Court 'charges. In good money, otherwise no
one can afford to enforce collection, and the poor bill holder
will lose all. The Bank failed November, 1860, and at this
date, August, 1869, It owes depositors slB3,ooo—owes out
standing bills $175,000 —has several hundred stockholders
who are mostly wealthy, uud can be made to pay, first the
bill holders ami then the depositors. I also find the Bank
has about $50,000 owing it. which is good, but they are
purchasing the bills at 10 cents to 15 cent* on the dollar /
to pay their notes with, and when they are all paid, there
will be no value to the bills, without it is attended to as I
propose. ‘•FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED”—send on

hopes have been disappointed, crushed acd blasted by false
promises and deceit, —all who have bean deceived and
trilled with, —dll fly to ber for udvice and satisfaction, —
all who are in doubts of the affections of those they love,
consult her to relieve and satisfy their mlDds. In love,
affairs she never fails. She has the secret of winning the
affections of the opposite sex. It is this fact which induces
illiterate pretenders to try Jo imitate her. She shows you
tbe likeDoss of yonr future wife, husband, or absent
friend; she warrants and guarantees the single a happy
marriage, and makes tbe married happy. Her aid and
advice bas been solicited in innumerable instances, and
tbe result has always been the means of securing a speedy

fche has been tbe means of bringing many hundred hearts

been healed and made happy by her.
It is well known to the public at large that she was the

Patent ambrotypes.—The mb
scribers baring purchased tbe exclusive right of Lan
caster city, are enabled to offer to tbe public a new style of
Pictures, far exceeding, in beauty and durability, any ever
before made. These pictures are not reversed, as dagnerreo
typesareand maybe seen in’anyllght. They also possess the
rare property of being imperishable; being hermetically
sealed between glass plates, which Is secured by Letters
Patent, in the United States, Great Britain and Franoe,
and practised in Lancaster city by T. <£ W. CJMMINOS ,
only, over Sprecher A Bro.’s New Store, North Queen st*,
Lancaster.
EXPLANATION.
The term AMBROTYPE, by which these Pictures are
designated; is derived from the Greek word Ambrotas, sig
nifying indestructibility, permanency, Ac. The Picture is
taken upon plate glass, to which another plate of corres
ponding size is secured with an indestructible cement, by
which the picture will retain its original brillancy for
ages; it will not corrode by acids, nor be injured by
water or climate. It is bold in its effect, beautiful lu tons,
surpasses any thing in the gradations of light and shade
and may be seen in any light. The public are cautioned
against imitations made on tingle plates of glass, with the
black Tarnish In immediate contact with the Picture.—
Such are not permanent, as the rarnish must crack and
destroy the Picture.
AMBROTYPE STERKSCOPES MUBT BE SEEN,
to be appreciated —the relief being fully as perfect as life
Citizens and Strangers are invited to call at the Ambro
type Gallery of the undersigned, and examine specimens
before they procure Pictures elsewhere, as they are
insured of polite attention,
