A fa. mous lawyer taught a pupil the art of pleading, on eandition that he should be paid for his services when the pu- pil had obtained his first victory in the law-courts, The pupil, however, brought an action against his master, in order to be released from the con- tract; saying to his old instructor, by way of “propounding a dilemma ”— “If I win, the authority of the court will obsolve me; if" I lose my cause, I am naturally free by the terms of our contract,” To this the learned doctor success. fully replied by the following antag onistic dilemma :— v “If you gain your suit, you must pay me according to our agreement; and if you lose, the court will vindi- cate its own authority, and compel you to fulfil its judgment.” In this case, the doctor certainly had the best of the argument: but in the following example the principals concerned were, probably, like the Council of Trent during eighteen years or so, “left sitting.” : A great chief, of just but arbitary notions, placed on the bridge which led over a river into his territory a gullows, compelling every man whe passed to declare his business, and the YD . 1. Vis SER have any thing you want, and do bu- siness on the principle of “Quick Sales and > place to which he was going, under and hanged on the bridge as a caution to future travelers. This went on merrily for some time, and not a few culprits testified to the rigorons execution of the law. But one day a man appeared, who had no intention of confiding his private af- fairs to the imperious chieftain; and, in answer to the usual query, “Whith- er goest thou ?” replied, “I am going to be hanged on your gallows ;” thereby placing the just ruler in this dilemma :” “If,” thought he, “I hang this man, he will have mnewered truly, and of course suffered unjustly; but if I let him pass, he will have answered false. ly, and deserved the punishment,” It is unfortunate that tradition re- cords not the result, but it is probable that affairs remained in statu quo for a pretty lengthened period. My third story, although not per- taking of the nature of a dilemma, is nevertheless rather curious as affording an illustration of that impulsive gen- erosity which distinguished the Be- douin Arab of ancient story. Three friends were once disputing in the court of the Carba (the holy house of Mecca) as to which of the Arab chieftains was most distinguished for his liberality. One of them declared in favor of Abdallah, the cousin of the Prophet; anoth.® stren- uously upheld Kais I2bn Saad ; anoth- er, Arabah of the tribe Aws. To end the matter, it was decided that each should go to his friend, feign poverty, despair, and utter misery, and ask for aid. Abdallah was found by the first begger with his foot in the stirup, and just starting for a long journey. “Son of the Uncle of the Prophet,” said the supplement, “I am traveling and in necessity. Give me thy aid.” Abdallah instantly alighted, and bid him take the camel, with all that was upon her, but begged him not dispose of a certain sword which was fastened o the saddle, but restore it to him at some other opportunity, asit had be- longed to the great Ali. The sup- posed - pauper took the camel, and found on her several silk robes and four thousand pieces of gold; but the jewel-hilted sword of Ali was the most precious part of her burden, ‘Fhe second friend went to Kais Ebn Saad, and found a slave at the door of his tent, who said that his master was asleep and could not be disturbed; but if he would mention his business, he would inform the chief when be awoke. When he pleaded poverty, the slave said: “Rather than distrub my master, I will myself supply your ne- cessity.” He then gave him seven thousand pieces of gold, adding it was all the money they had by them, He then sent hin away, directing a ser- vant to take a camel and a proper slave, and escort the distressed friend of his master to his home. When Kais awoke, he approved of his ser- vant’s ¢ mduct, but said: — “Why did you not awake me? for I should have given him more,” The third experimentalist found | Arabah proceeding to the mosque, the shoulders of two slaves. On being informed of his friend's distress, Arabah said: “Owing to sud- den and heavy losses, I have no mon- ey at hand ; but take these two slaves, sell them, aud return home in come fort.” On the friend protesting sg iinst depriving hin of his only ser- vant’s, Arabah said: “If you refuse them, I will set them at liberty : I can- not take back a gift.” The friend then left Arabah, who returned groping along the walls to his own house; but when the three ad- venturers compaired notes together, the title of the most liberal of the Arabs was unanimously bestowed on the blind and aged chieftain, Arabah of the tribe A ws. ee tle Ammen A compositor takes most e's when Le is at his work.

Democtat of July 2, { Terrible Encounter with a Rattfo bd 212 onal Ae at {eS | We are informed that during the Inte harvest, a farmer in the northeas. ern portion of Os; county, while culting wheat in his field; heard the Sing of a rattle snake. Before Io could determing the exact locality of the “rattling,” the snake made at him, leaping over the seythe and eradle, but missed the man, who now in turn, attacked the snake with his cradle. The snake was ready for the charge, and again leaping over the cradle, in- flicted a severe wound on the front part of the right leg of his antagonist, who now retreating endeavored (o defend himself against the repeated attacks of the reptile. The snake made no less than ten different punges at the gentleman while retreating, who, at the same time, called loudiy for his dog. The faithfu! animal finally arrived, finding his ownes nearly exhausted with heat and pain, and at onec at- tacked the snake. The farmer, fully realizing the great and imminent dan- ger of his wound, now made his way home—a quarter of a mile—as best he could. On reaching there he af ouce applied a thick ligatore heavily sonked in tubacev juice and salt, and whilst awaiting medical aid, dravk two quarts of peach brandy, scarcel feeling any effects therefrom in hie excited and exhasted: condition. He at once dispatched assistance to the scene of the conflict to rescue his dog, which, ou arriving there, found the snake coiled around the faithful ani- mal—the dog dead and his venomous antagonist in a dying condition. The wheut for a considerable space around was torn down, bearing evidence of the fierce, deadly contest which bad but then recently occurred. The dog received an honorable bur- inl while the snake was subjected to an anatomical inspection, which re- vealed a nearly full grown rabbit. The tail of the reptile bore seven rattles and one *bwiton.” Our informant, inadvertantly, we emitted any mention in his notes of the length and general size of the deadly foe with which the farmer and finally his faithful dog, had the dreadful encoun- ter. That it was of rather umusual size would seems most probable. The gentleman was confined to his room about two weeks, but is now able to attend t) business as usual. Brevities.
