well."
'Passing the delightful description which
succeeds, we proceed to the denouement of.
Ringwood's love affuir---the marriage and
the settlement.
qhrit very autumn I was mimittod to
the bar, and a month
,afterwards was mar
ried. We were a yong couple, she not
inudh 'morn than sixteen and` I not quite
twenty, and both almost Without a dollar
in the world. The establishment Was well
'suited to our circumstances : a low bens°
with two small rooms, a bed, a table, half
a dozen chairs, a. balf dozen knives, what!'
deem spoons , —every thing by the half do
sea : a little delf ware, every thing in a
small way ; wore so poor, but then so
happy. • .
"We had not been married IminY days
when a Court was held in the county town
about twenty-live miles distant. It was
necessary, for me to p,o there, and put my
self in the way of business—but how was I
to go? Thad expended all my means on
our establishment, and then it was hard
parting with my wife so soon after mar
-1 riage. However, go I must. Money must
be mode, or we would soon have the wolf
!at our door. I accordingly borrowed a lit
, tlo each, and rode MT from my door, leav
ing my wife standing at it, and waving her
hand after mo. Her last look, so sweet
and becoming, went to my heart. I felt as
if I could go through fire and water for her.
I arrived at the eounty town on a cool Oc
tAber evening. The inn was crowded, for
the court was to commence on the follow
ing day:
"T knew 'no one, owl wondered bow I,
a stranger, a mere youngster, was to make
I -way in such a crowd, and to get business.
The public room was thronged with all the
idlers in the country who gather on such
I oceasions. There was setae drinking go
ing on, with a groat noise and a little al=
tercation. lust as I entered the .roent,
saw a rough bully of a fellow, •11 , 'ho was
partly intoxicated, strike ea old Man, He

him down; and kicked him into the street.
T needed nohetter introduction. In Imo-
Ment bad a halfdozen' rough shakes of
the hand and invitations to drink, anti found

The next 'Morning the court ()petted.—
I Wok My seat among the lawyers, but felt

It was''s bright morning:' I bathed my
feretteratiend mrhands in 'a beautiful run
ning istreant, but I 'could not allay the fe

of coffee formed my repast. It WM lime
to go to Court. Tweak tbe,re, with a throh-,
hingleart. , I believe
,if it had not been
for
-the, thorights.,of itgy lo,vely wife 44 ,her
little house, I should , have given. hack to
the man his hundred dollars, and -relin
quiahed the cause., I ,took,,my seat, look,
in& I am convinced, more like a culprit
than. the rogue I was.about to defend.
"When the time ennui for tee to speak,
ivy heart died within me. I rose, emba
reseed and displayed, and, stannnered in
opening my cause. I went on -from bad
'to worse, and felt as if I was, going down
hill. Jest then the public prosecutor, a
man of talents, but sonie*hat rough in his
practice, made a sarcastic arriark on some
thing I had said. It was like an elect i
ETo
spark, and ran tingling ng every vein
in my body. In an instant my : diffidence
was gone. My whole Spirit was in arms.
I answered with promptness end bitter
ness, for I felt the cruelty of such an at
tack upon a novice in my situation. 'The
public prosecutor mode a kind of apOlogy:
This, for a mau of his redoubtable powers,
vast olmeession.renewed'

gument with a fearful glow, carried the I
tame triumphantly; and the - mirn 'was ac
quitted.
"This was the making of me. Every
body was anxious to know who this new
lawyer was, that had suddenly risen among
them, and bearded the Attorney General
at the very onset. Tha story of my debut
at the inn on the proceeding evening, Wton
I had knocked down u bully and kicked hint
out of doors, for striking an old man, Was
circulated with favorable exaggeration. E
ven my beardlesse chin and juvenile coun
tenance were in my favor, for the people,
gave, me far more credit than I deserved.
The chance business which occurs in , ou
I„courts came thronging upon ree.• I was,
I repeatedly employed in other causes, and
' by Saturday night, when the court closed,
and 1 had paid my bill at the inn, I found
myself with a hundred and fifty dollars in
silver, three hundred dollars in notes, and
a horse that I afterwards sold for two hun
dred dollars more.
Never did a miser gloat on his pelf with
more delight. T locked the door of my
room, piled the' money in a heap upon
my table, and walked around it, sat
with my elbows on the tableiund my chin
upon my bands, and gased upon it. 4ras
thinking of my money ? No—l •liras
thinking•of my little wifeand home.
"Another sleepless night ensued, but
what a night of golden &wimp and splend

Truth is always consistent with itself,
and needs nothing to help out; it is at•
ways near at hand, sits upon our lips and
is ready to drop out before we are aware; a
lie is troublesome, and sets a man's inven
tion upon the rack, and one lie needs a great
many more to make it good.

They were sharp fellows, those Brahmins,
and i watrant they bled him to the last
pies, The Brahmins of Allaliabad aro not
to be surpassed in their dexterity in ob
taining perquisites. They have apportion
ed India into districts, and adjoining the
Place of Hair they have their Place of
Flags, where there are upward of two hun
dred flags streaming- from Ligh poles.-.z
The devices on the flags represent the dif
ferent districts. 'f he pilgrim seeks the
flag:of his district, and there he finds this
Bruhniiti licensed to take charge of him.
There is no fixed fee, but every man is tax
ed to the extent of his purse. One of the
Rajahs of Oude who was here recently,
gave the fraternity six elephants and the
weight of a fat infant son in Cashmere
shawls and sliver.
In justice to the Brahmin caste, I should
renitrk that those who serve as priests in
the templeware not to be confounded with
the secular Brahmins. many of whom are
fine scholars and enlightened and liberal;
minded men. But the priesthood is. per.
haps, the most corrupt of any similar class
in the world. They do not even make a
pretence of honesty. An acquaintance of
mine bargained with some All.lllllBd Brah
mins to supply hint with grass for thsittilt
fog his house. They showed. him * BM.
isfsei*fy ,sample, and ho weed, to, por
thini a eittath prior. nioi
cime,it was tried' worse than the saritpley
and.he refused to pay them full price.—
The 'Metter Was referred for arbitration to
three other Brahmins, Who decided in the
•gentleman's fivor. But the co'titrac torsde-
Adored they Would have the rail
• •Wi‘y..do yap not bring good grass, then?"
said the 'gentleman. "'Because we have
'not got it," they answered. "Why, then,
did you send me such a sample!" "To
'make you contract with us," was the cool
'reply. "You may take the quarrel into
Court, for I 'shall not pay you," deElaretl
the gentleman. "We shall not go to Court,
for we shell dertain!y lose the cautee."
'said. they ; "but we will have the money."
Thereupon they went to the carpenter
who was building the house, and who Was
a Hindoo, related the case, and called up
'on him to make up the sum. The 891 . 011-
,iiiie4 victim declared that it was no affair
of ?I'S. "No matter," said they ; "if you
'4OO pay it, one of us w ill com mit suicide,
"anal his blood Will be upon your head"—

out, 'but when the °ldeal of the
Braionine hatlilecided to kill himself, and
was 'uncovering his body fur that purpnae,
he was obliged' to yield,' and went ott in
.testai,hrherpte the money. Truly, thus
