THE SILENT WITNESS
FROM A LAWYER'S DIARY
I had spent some years in the westin the prac
tice of my profession, and was on a visit to my
friends ill New England. Among those who
Caine first•on my list of friendship, was Fred. El
liott, and I arranged to visit him as soon as I
could. Fred. and I had grown up together as
buys; we had entered college together, and grad
uated together; and when I c"mmenced the prac
tice of law, he entered his uncle's store in the ca
pacity of book-keepercwith a good promise ahead.
And there was another between us—a near and
dear one to us, who where both orphanerand
who had few relatives living. Fred had married
my own cousin, sweet Hattie Keene. Ile had
married her since I went away, though the event
had been upon the docket a long time before.—
And thus I was to meet twoof my dearest friends
beneath the same roof.
- It was just before dusk when the carriage left
me at the house which had been pointed out as
the one occupied by my friend, and which lat
once recognized as the former house of old Tim
o'hy Elliott, the uncle of whom I hare spoken.
My summons -Was answered by a light, quick
step on the ball floor ; and when the door was
opened I recognized the fair, fond features of lily
dearly remembered cousin. She was five tears
older than when I saw her last, and grown tole
a little more womanly, aud a little nom,. sealii-.
In fact, she had put on the holiest of chin peters
—that of a mother. The beauty, the life, the an
miation, the r wiles ot (iiiief years had nut gone ;
hut they were elevated with. sof:tined by, and
blended into, that noble character. At first she
did not know me, but when I called her Hattie
as I used to in the olden times, she caught me by
the hand, and in a moment inure her soft. white
arms were around me neck., She was a sister tin
me in heart and Stud, and with a sister's love she
greeted me:
We went into tie parlor, -where auastral lump
_was already burning upon the centre table, and
where a fire was reflecting a genial warmth from
a polished grate—fog Mwas autumn and the e-v
-enings were quite cool. Upon a chair, may by_
the table, sat a little boy of some three years, -
pitying v., ith the richly ornamented-bridle of a.
soehing home: While upon the e.troet was a g le,
scone child, not yet able to walk with sati-ty, en
gaged in tumbling a large marten
_mutt And
these were Hattie's children—two as bright and
beautiful beings as et er made in an earthly
bonie. She told them that I was Uncle Emoih.
She had neither sister nor brother, BO lIN as forc
ed to be an uncle to her children.
Where had I ? What . had I been doing?
Slow hail I been Was I married ? Did I ever
mean to be ? and a hundred more questions of
like character n ere showered upon me before /
bad time tip ail; ant in return. By-and-by Fred
cape in.- There wm, a cloud upon his face when
he entered fhe -room. I saw it very plainly; but
his wile hurried to his side, kissed him, and whis
pered is hie ear. at in a moment he brightened
up; and 1% hen he erected tile. and held my hand
and patted me upon the shoulder, he appeared
the same tt arm and genial spirit as of_the olden
time
•At t 1 tea table he asked after my fortunes in
thelistant home I had sought: and when I told
i 4
hit had succeeded beyond my most sanguine
e.ppec Miens, and that material wealth was fast
t
af.mnulating lhr me. he was not only pleasant,
tint it /itn bed 'ram swill business and such pros
pects would suit him.
I laughed iinti•ight at what I considered the ab-.
surdity of this last bleat It would do very well,
I told him, fur a poor fellow, with only his two
hands to help him; to-getMT into the western
wilds; but for nine like-him, with an independant
fortune at his commautto think of such athing
was ridiculous 11, , smiled as I spoke, and turned
the subject of conversation. •
Within an hour after we adjourned to the par
lor, 1 was sure something had gone wrung with
my-friend. He tried to be cheerfid, to talk of our
old pranks, and to laugh and joke as in the days
of our youth ; rind as a last resort, endeavored to
arouse himself by caressing his sweet children.—
But it would not do—l had seen too much. Hat
tie simeeeded much better than he did : yet as the
evening wore'on. I could see there was a heavy

At length the children were abed, and-the
Mother soon followed them. I plainly heat d her

which could not escape me, burst from her hu,

Timothy had one brother and one sister. • Ile

Staffer, who had one Mal by ,a former w Mt, but
he never had any children by my aunt. He died
at the end of two years. her no means,
and she found a home with a' brother, taking her

married, and had our child, and that child WaR
myself. 'My father died when I was a mere child,
and my mother died before I was graduated. So
volt see, I Ras the only represeqtatit e of Uncle
Timothy's blood."
"Certainly." I said, "and of course the whole
property fell to you."
"Yes," he replied, "and it was given to me, and
1 took possession, and opened a flourishing busi
ness. Upon the strength thereof, I have entered
society, and responsible offices have bean pat
upon ufe."
"Well," said I, as my friend paused again,
"vt hat has happened . to disturb all this t"
" tell you, he returned, starting froth a
moody reverie into tqich he had fallen. "-You
know that my father and Uncle Timothy once
had a serious falling nut."
" Yes." I told him. "1 Karr some recollection
of it; but that was a great many years ago. We
were boys then."
"Ay—it was near twenty years ago," said
Fred; but I remember it very well. for I recol
lect how badly it made mother feel. The es
trangement lasted for some years.; and during
that time the bitterness was very strong. My
uncle declared that he would have nothing more
to do with his brother; and under the influence of
this feeling he made a will conveying the great
bulk of his property to Staffer, the son of his HlS
ter's husband. ;You rernember that, don't your;
„Yes," Isaid. And I did remember it very"
wel, for it snide copsiderable talk at the time
and int,tre so, beeansnStatfer, who had married
Timothy Elliott's sister, had not bren considered
much of a man, and it was not' generally sup
! posed than the boy, whom he bad left upon the
care of his wife's,relatives, gave any promise of a
valuable life.
" ' And," contiuued Fred, "you probably recol
lect when my father was very sick, Uncle Timo
thy came to him and the Quarrel was thrown
away, and from that time, wink, my father lived,
their brotherly love was warm and generous."
"Yes. I know all that."
"Well, at that time my uncle spoke of the will
he bad made,
and be would deitroy it, and
I believe he did. I know it as well as I know
anything which I did not see with nif own eyes.
Before my uncle died he told me that he should
make no will, for there was no need of it. He
said I was the only lawful heir, and that was
enough. My uncle died and I mine into posses
sion of the property; and I hare enjoyed it, and
have tried to do good with it; and I have added
something to the original fortune, for I have been
careful and prudent. In a dark hour, however,
a storm bus Inint upon me. It sbemed only a
cloud at first. but itproved ti fearful one. John
Staffer has returned. He - went away about ten
years ago—went away bedause my uncle would
not give him a home any longer—and has now
come and has laid claim on my property. He
claims the whole of it!"
-"But haw?" I asked, as my friend stopped to
take breatk.!
"You remember Stephen Akers, the old law
yer r, Paid Fred.
"Ay." I replied,!" I know him very well. He
has been ouv west and done some business there;
but he can't do mere Where he is known, for he
proved Mins& a villian." •
" Ha! do tou kudw it?"
" Yes ; bu what !has that to do with you now ?"
" you. Lithe first place, he used to do
business here, and my uncle employed him some."
" I remember that."
" And it Was he Who made that will for my un-
Cle."
" Yea, I recollect it now."
" Well," continued Fred, " this old villain of a
lawyer came back here about six months ago, and
ere long he and Staffer had their heads together.
In a little while Staffer came and laid claim to my
uncle's property - ; and when asked what he meant,
he produced a paper which appesred to be the
last will and{ testament of Mr. Timothy Elliott.
.And Stephen Akers swears thaLthis is the same
will which thy uncle Made many years ago, and
that it has bhen in his charge ever since. He says
that ashen b went away to the western country
be over-leek led it among his papers, and took it
along with him. He furtherinore declares that
lie received! many letters - front Mr. Elliott; in
t;,ldeh be requested hint to be careful of the will,
and keep it So that it could be brought to light in
case of need,"
" Of eourSe." Said I, " thiS still must be a fraud
-Went one''
" Most certainly it is," returned Pied.
" And yet,it has been admitted to probate, and
the judge has accepted it. • I,have appealed, and
it goes to the Superior Court, and, moreover, the
trial comes jff tomorrow. For myself, Enoch,—
if I here alone in the world,—l would care little,
for I couldput forth my etiagies anew; but for
my wife and children, oh ! it is hard I"
He hurled his face in his hands, and wept aloud;
but in a little while he became calm again, and I
questioned hint as I saw fit. Another witness tb
_the will besidg'Stephen Akers was Axing, and ho
had te-tified that he beliesed the instrument now
produced wits the one to which he put his name.
In short, the case Moked dark enough, and I dared
not give my; found much hope. Yet I promised
to think of the matter, and be present with him at
the trial. ;
On the following morning I got away :as soon
as possible, for I could not bear to hear Hattie's
grief; but I promised to come back again, and,
as I held her hand pt the door, told her to keep
up a good heart -
Au uncle la mine, named Ansel Forbes, a broth
er,ot my mother, was in town on business, and I
e.t.a to see him. He was a paper manufact
urer, and worth a handsome property. I found
him at the hotel, and passed a happy hour With
him; for 1 had been his pet ih boyhood, and it was
by his generous bounty that I went through col
lege. I told him about the trial whiCh was cow
ing oft', and he said he meant to be present if he
could. Ile had been well acquainted with Timo
thy Elliott, and he was firmly convinced that the
only will tt hieli Elliott had ever made had been
destroyed.
When the hour of trial arrived it was announc
i.d that I should assist in the case. I took my seat
with the c - Oansel already engaged. 'As the trial
went on. irleertairily did look dark enough for my
friend. Sfepheu Akers—u dark, browned, foxy
looking'inau, with a hair of a grizzled red, which
stood out like a-hedgehog's quills upon his small
'head—swore that this will was the will which he,
as Timothy Elliott's attorney, had made eighteen
years before, and that he had been iu posses
sion of it ever since, until he had lodged it in the
probate office. And he also swore to the receipt
of letters from Elliott, bidding him keep the will
safe. There was no getting around his teatime
ay-it was plain and direct, and we could not
break through it.
An old wan named Jackson, who had been one
of the witnesses of the old will, testified that he
believenhe instrument now before him was the
one to which he had put his band. lie could say
that this was his own signature. He was an hon•
est bid fellow, and admitted that he, had always
supposed the will had been destroyed. •
For our client we had nothing of clear, plain
facts to help us. We had any amount of impress
ions and opinions in our favor. It had been the
impression of all Timothy Elliott's intimate friends
that the will which he had made had' been des
troyed. lie had talked to them in' that way.
And yet not one 01 them could swear that they
had ever heard him say, directly, that such was
the %et. 1.0 short, though the beiief•in the des
trot:thin of that will was so general and so firm,
et we could not present to the jury i single fact
to sustain us in the decision.
Had the counsel liar the appellent any more ter
Moony to produce!
Fred placed his band trembling; like an aspen
upon my arm, and whispered—
"Oh
my soul!, 1 am lost.'" ,
,
lII' 55,th pale as death, and his cut rim; intense.
As the case now stood. 'could haven° hnie. What
ever may have been the opinion of the court and
the jury upon the right and justice of .the thing,
there could have been but. one opinion, upon the
law and fact. My heart sank within me.
Where the counsel for appellant ready to
rest their case?
I held the will in my hand. I believed it to be
a forgery. I believed the only will which Timo
thy Elliott ever made had been destroyed. and
that Akers in consideretion •of a share in the
spoils, had, from the Old draft in his hands, for
ged this instrument, counterfeiting even Jackson's
signature so nicely that the simple old mnu could
not disown it. I was about to give the instrument
up. and my last hint hope with it, when a_ditu
murk in one corner of the sheet caught my eye.
It was a stamp—an impression on the paper—not
so large as the point of a tiuger's end, but I bent
my head fini a moment, to call to mind something
of the past.
"What hi it I" asked I'red, who had noticed
my emotion. . .
I told kiln to-wait, and then arose and lOoked .
around the court room. Was my uncle there 1
Yes, I saw I him clone by me. I asked that Ste 7
Own :Viers might be called to the stand again.
The wretch SIM that I urns excited, and he trem
bled-a little when he started to answer to the
call, though he was firm enough when he bad
gained the stand.
"Mr. Akers," said I, controlling myself nil
possibly conld,'"you made this wilt."
"Timothy': Elliott made it," he replied; "I
merely wrote it down for him as he dictated."
"This will is dated," said I, looking at its sign
and seal, "October third, eighteen years -ago this
very month." •
' "Certainly," replied Akers, that i,s just when it
ssus made"
"And
,you swear that this is the identical Instru

"I do,"
"And yen swear that Timothy pliott set his

told him I had done with him.
Theo I asked that Ansel - Forbes might be call
ed to the stand. _ •
What did I want With him 7 And my uncle
was also anxious to know why he was called up
on, for hel;ras well known, and stood as high as
the judge himself.
" Mr. Forbes," said I "you area manufacturer
of paper ?"
He said he was. • . -
" How long have you been engaged in the busi
ness?
Ile thought a moment, and then refitted, "I
entered the business in eighteen . hundred and
thirty-one; so I have been in it just ten years.",
"Now Fir," said I, handing him the instrument
which I held, " will you tell me, will•you tell the
j y, when that paper was made?"

"It could not have been over nine pears ago,
for here is my mark—my name=npon it as I
alone have stamped paper in this country !"
HeAlen showed -to the court and to the jury
the mark which he had detected. It was plain
enough now—s little oval impression, with the
name A. Forbes" embossed in it. It was de
faced and soiled, but not obliterated. -
Stephen "Akers was trying to make his way
from the court-room, but the deputy brought him
back.
Two wholesale dealers were summoned, and
when they examined the paper they at once rec
ognized it as Ansel Forbes's manufacttut. They
knew it,-thena'cottld tie no ipiestioni
And thus, almost miraculously, was the whole
current of the affair changed. We gage the case
in, and iu a very few minutes we had the ver
dict.
That'evening Hattie hung about my neck, and
blessed and thanked me until I fairly cried. And
Fred, when he tried to apCak of what had passed;
at once broke down under the weight of joy and
gratitude that was upon him. He was safe, his
fortune was safe; and his wife and little ones
were still blessed.
Some asked me bow I happened to detect that
silent witness away up in the corner of that pa
per. I answered that my uncle gave me half a
dozen reams of,that paper when- he commenced
making it, and I had been using it ever since, so
that the stamp, was very familiar to me. The
forger had seletted for hie wicked puOase a sheet
of respectable ige; but it had not proved quite
old enough to answer the _date be had just put
upon it. .1
Master John i Staffer got off to sea again ; but
Stephen Akers found his way to the State prison,
where for ate , of }•ears, he was forcibly res
trained, from ci eating his fellow men. -
THE KINDX ,SS OP MR. LiNuotS.—The fol
lowing inciden , , clipped from an exchange, illus
trates the kind ess of heart and the tenderness
of our late esident. In November last, a
Small, delicate boy patiently waited with the
crowd which ad gathered in theroom of the -
President. H - was noticed by Mr. Lincoln, who
said, "Come h re my boy, and tell me what you
want" The b y, trembling and abashed, stepped
forward and p ced his hand upon the arm of the
chair in which the President was seated, and
said:
Mr. PresideL I have been a drummer in a
regiment for two years, and my Colonel got angry
with me and turned me ofi; I was taken sick, and
have been . • a long time in the hospital. This is
the first day I have. been out. I came to see if
you cannot do something for me.
The President looked kindly and tenderly at
ansLasked him where he lived. He replied
that he had no home. "Where is your father ?"
said the Pteident. "He died in
,the army," an
swered the boy. "Where is your mother 1", "My
mother is dead also, I have no father, no mother,
no brother, sisters," and bursting into tears, the
boy said, "and no friends. Nobody cares for
me." The scene was very affecting. Mr Lill
coin's eyes filled with tears, he said to him: "Can't
you sell rurpapers. "No," said the boy, "I am
•to weak, and the surgeon of the hospital told me
I must leave ; and. I have no money, and no
friends, and nu place to go to."
The scene was indescribable tender and affec
ting, and the President immediately drew from
his drawer a card' on which he wrote his wishes,
that the officers should care (iu his own aiteetio 2
nate - lauguage) "for this poor boy."
When the card was handed to the idrummerl
boy, a smile lit up his face, all wet with tears,
and he had at least one good and true friend in
Abraham Lincoln. ,
ISLA' JOHNSON SAYS-THE DEBT MUST BE

horn poor, and raised poor, and isyet 6d the•peo

on a depletion by an artificial cutting. The ope

of since, until now. When Mr. Lincoln received
the news of his first election, he came home to

the bedroom. and atter telling the news, in v,alk
ing about the room his eye fell upon the bureau
glass. Immediately he threw himself down upon
the lounge, and - told Mrs.Lineoln he thought he
must he ill, for he saw a-second reflection of his
face in the glass which he'could not account for.
It was perfect, but very pale. "Oh," said Mrs.
Linibln,•"thaf means that you will be re-elected
—but 1 don't like its. looking pale," she added;
"that looks as if you Would not live through our
second term." Mr. Lincoln himself told this to
the friend I mentioned, and this gentleman told
it to us in.our parlor, Soon after the first Bull Run
battle. It made quite an impression imou me at
the time, but one forgets such things. Was it not

ONE'S NATIVE LAND.—President -Johnson,
although not given much to poesy or blank verse,

is dear to me. hiller bosom rest ite - renniins of
my honored father, lying in the. east of the city

- A - MELAttcritotir Tatrrn.—When a rakish
youth goes astray, friends gather around him in
order to restore him to the path of virtue. Gen
tleness and kindness are lavished upon him to win
him back again to innocence - andpeace. No one
would suspect that-he had ever sinned. But when
a poor, 'confiding girl is betrayed, she receives the
brand of society, end is hencelhrth driven from
the ways of virtue. The betrayer is honored, res
pected, esteemed; but there is no peace for her
this side of the grave. Society has but few loving,
helping hands for her, no smile of peace,' no voice
of forgiveness. These are earthly ; mortalities un
known to heaven. There is a deep wrong irk them,
and fearful are tne* consequences.

the ceremony of knocking, saying:
"Will you. accept a tract of the Holy Land ?"
meaning the four pages of the letter-press he had
in his hand. The man of the house instantly re
plied:
"Yes, be jaberg; a whole section, if you give a
gond title; but I'd like to know if there be much
fever'n ague there to bother a poor LW?" The
colporteur retreated.
