The Volunteer Counsel
rtf wpm:fa stoat'.
John Taylor was licensed,-When a youth
01 twentpotte,,to practiCe at the bar. He
.was poor but well educated, and possessed
extraordinary genius. He married a
beatuty, who afterwards deserted him for
another.
On the 9th of Apri4 1840, the court
house in Clarksville, Texas, was crowded to
overflowing. An exciting case was about
to be tried. George Hopkins, a wealthy
planter, had offered a gross imult to nary
Ellison, the young • and beautiful wife of
his overseer: The husband had threaten;
ed to chastise him for the outrave. when
Hopkins went to Ellison's house and sbot
him in his own door. , The murdered Was
arreated and baiLod to Ammar the charge.
This occurrence produced great excite
ment, and Hopkins, in order-to turn; the
tide of public indignation, had circulated
reports against her character, and she
sued . him for slander. Both suite Were
pending—for murder and slander. •
The interest became deeper when it wan
known that Ashley and Pike,of Arkansas,
and 8. 8. Prentiss. of New Orleans, by en
ormous fees had been retained to defend
-Hopkins 'was- acqUittiid.. The Texai
lawyers were overwhelmed by their op
ponents. It was a fight of a dwarf against
giants.
The slander suit was for the' 9th, and
the throng of spectators grew in numbers
as in excitement. , Public opinion wax set
ting in fdr Hopkins ; his money had prd
cured witnesses who served his "powerful
advoiates. When the slander case .was
called Mary Ellison was left without- an
attorney—all had withdrawn*. •
' . Have you no counsel 1" inquired Judge
Mill. looking kindly at the plaintiff.
- " No , sir ; they have ail deserted me,
and 1 am too poor to employ any more,"
repliA the beautiful Mary, bursting into
-tears.

said the Judge gianiing mind tho bar.
The thirty lawyers mita ailant
' ''l will, your honor," said a voice from
the thickest of the crowd, behind the
inv. ,
At the sound of that voice many start
ed—it was so unearthly, sweet and mourn
ful.
The first sensation was turned into
laughter when a tall, gaunt spectral figure
elbowed his way through the crowd, and
placed himself within the bar. Hie
clothes looked so shabby that the Court
hesitated to let the- case proceed under
his management. ' •
' "Has your name been entered on the
lolls of ths Stater demanded the'JOdge.
"It isimataterial," answered the stran
ger, his' thin, bloodless lips curling up
with a sneer., "Here is my-license' from
the highest tribunal in America I" and
he'handed the Judge a broad parchment.
The trial went on.
He suffered the witnesses to tell their,
story, and he allowed the defense to:lead'
off. Ashley spoke first, followed brPikis
and Prentiss. The letter ,brought the
.house down, ip cheers, in which the jury
joined.
• It. was now the stranger's • turn.' He
raised before the bar, not behind it, and
- so near the wondering jury that he might
touch the foreman with his long, bony
finger. He proceeded to tear to pieces
the arguments of Ashley, which melted
away at his touch like frost before a' sun
beam ; every one looked surprised. Anon
he came to the dazzling wit, of the poet.
lawyer Pike. Then the curl of his. lip
grew sharper, his smooths face began to'
kindle up, and his 'eves to open,
longer dim, but vivid as lightning, red as
fire globes and glaring rift meteors. The
whole soul' was in the eye ; the full* heart
streamed out of his face. Then without
an allusion to Prentiss he turned a short
round on the perjured witnesses of Hop.
kins tore their -testimony into shreds,
and burled into their faces such terrible
invectives that all trembled like aspens,
end two of them, fled from the court
house. The excitement of the crowd' was
becoming tremendous.l Their united life
and soul seemed to hang upon the burn

them with the power cd his passions. He
seemed to have stolen nature's long hid

triumph was to come. I.
His eyes began to glance at the assassin

of the populace. litiVing .thus girt him
around with a circle of tire, he .stripped
himself to the work oft masaacre. - - •
Ohl then it was a vision both glorious
and dreadful to behold the orator. His
actions became as inapetuousas theinotion
of' an oak in a hurricane. His voice be
came a trumpet Medi with wild
pools, deafening the ear with the crashes
of power, and yet intermingled all' the
while with a sweet undersong of the soft.

heated furnace, his [countenance was

the audience amounted almost to mad-'

. All at once the speaker descended from
the perilous ffeight. His voice wailed out
for the murdered, dead and -living—the
beautiful Mary, more beautiful. every mo

wept and sobbed like children.

violence to the defendant, however richly
be might deserve it: in other words,
'snot to lynch- the villain, but leave his
punishment with God." This was the
. most artful trick of •all, and best calcula
ted to secure vengeance.
The Orry returned a verdict of fifty
thousand dollars ; and the night- after-
wards Hopkins was taken out of his bed
by lynchers and .beaten almost to .death.

Old and Young Generale
The nrOmen tons question as to the C.l.
pability . of elderly gentlemen command

new again Und.r discussido in Europe.
Sir Edward Cast writes to the London
Times and gives the names of the sexage
narian and - octogenarian generals under
whom Austria has at different times suf
fered ber worst disasters. The whole his
tory of the world, to a certain extent,
warms Sir .Edward's opinion, that no
man above fifty . should be 'put iu com
mand of a large host In actual warfare. ,
Hannibal was commanderiri.chief of the
Carthagenian armies when he was only
24, and he was only 31. when he won the
'battle of Cannes. Alexander- the Great
had conquered Greece and 'Persia,' and
achieved his other wonderful conquests,
when he died at the age of 31. -Witham
the Conquerer 'made -himself master of
England at 39. and Henry V. beat the
French at Agincourt when a youth of

some large firms were issuing currency of
their own, a farmer• went to a store in a
neighboring town and bought some goods,
and gave to the merchant a five dollar bill,
Of which he • wanted seventy-five cents
back. The merchant• counted out the
amount arld_banded It.aver to the farmer.
Hoiooked ist it a moment and inquired,
" What's this ?" " It's my currency," •
said the merchant. " Wel, 'taint good

bringit to my store and 'I will give you a
dollar bill for it." The farmer pocketed
the change and departed. A. few weeks
after he went into the same store and
bought gcods to the amount of one dollar,
and after paying over the identical seven
ty-five cents he, took out a handful of
pumpkin seeds and counted out 'twenty
five of them, 'and passed them over to the
merchant. " Why," says the merchant,
" what's"this." "Wal,' eays the \farmer,
"this is my currency, and, when•yOtt,get
