The following Spe.timen of - the conclusion of one of the charges. of Justice Dudley. will illustrate his ideus of the law. He addiessed Ott jiiry somewhat after this style : = "You have beard,gen tlem en, of the jury,whitt '-has been said on this case by the lawyers; the _rascals ; l,ut no, I will not abuse them.

' In Saintsville,a very quiet town in one of the Eastern States, 'Squire Williamson reigns as the sopreme fudge, in all:matters of taste, es psecially in the arts. He: sets up to be the most.knowing . man in the town, not in law only, but in all departments of science. Now and then he overshoots his mark. One of the neighbors, in intelligent mechanic, hav ing a fine taste for natural history, spent a 1 good deal of • time and labor in preparing It 1 cabinet of stuffed birds, arranging them as " - tatural as life," on perches around his'shop. The 'Squire' was fond of dropping , in froth time to time to find fault with the arrange ' rnent Of the specitheita. lle admitted the skill of .the man.i skinning and stuffiing thenr, but - the habit of the bird was not hit in the way he stands. "-Why don't•- you follow. naturel" . the 'Squire would ask, and grunible at the work, to show his own acquaintance with a subject of which he tra&totally ignorant. Rogers, the bird-fancier, was vexed at the 'Squire's clitieimc and self-conceit, and de tertnined`ttpon. fixing him. A friend front the country one day brought him a live owl of beautiful plumage, and Rogers gladly took it of him, ,and set it up in one corner of the shop on : a shelf: Presently as the 'Squire I was passing, he asked him in. His eye caught sight of the new addition to the cabinet, and 1 be exclaimed':,• . c "Rev, hey, Rogers—a most splendid spe- I eimen that! elegantly stuffed, too l But, I Rogers, who ..ever saw an owl with his head I tucked up in that sort of a ,way I Follow na ture, man!" " Perhaps," said Rogers, " von could fix'the head as owls are accustomed to hold them." 4 To be sure I can." Dczklied the 'Squire ; and; mounting a chair, lie taiolied up to the bird •to straighten out his bead. But his ownership did not wait to be pulled; he darted out his bill, and gave the 'Squire's forefinger a - gripe that he will:carry the mark of for many a day. Falling back out of the chair in his fright, and seeing a smile of satisfaCtion I on Roger's face. he saw at once that be bad Ibeen sold. The owl looked on as wise as a judge, and the 'Squire was compelled to give in ; but he insisted that owls in the wood, or in the barn do not hold their heads as this rascally fellow does in the cabinet.
