Waiting for clients is not the Most
agreeable employment in life. If you
have a good digestion you can take your
quantum surf. of Chitty & Smith's lead
ing cases, with an occasional quid of Coke
upon Littleton ; and having read yourself
into a 'state of torpor, you can take a walk
or gallop on horseback; or, if disposed to
waste your time, you can.do so by devot
ing an hour to some pretty maid or charm
.ing widow,' taking care• •not to commit
yourself unnecessarially. In this way I'
worried through my first year in Barring
ton, a large town in Kentucky, where I
chanced to settle. For the first week, I
turned my head sharply when the door of
my office opened, expecting to sue a cli
ent. My nerves had ample time to be
come tranquil, however ; and after a few
months I was so - accustomed to solitude,
that I should have regarded an actual lit
igant, fee in band, as a being for wboui
the sexton would presently come _ with a
habeas corpus. The only person who
commiserated me was the faithful Jake,
who attended to my rooms. Being na
turally social, he thought a man shut up
at work all day the most wretched of crea
tures. •
" Massa Bill," (African for William
Tompkins, attorney and counsellor,) "it
seems to me you powerful lonesome here
in Barrington. Little white, too, 'bout
the chops•" (I had not then the hand
somely grizzled beard which now .adorns
my face.) " Lor, don't, I wish you knew

fox or two at night, drive a deer down
from the knobs in the inornin', den cavort
roue' the country on horseback, see tut,
key shootin' an' do scrub races, an', may-,
be, do a. little courtiu' when it come
handy."
It was a•tempting picture which Jake
presented. I did know his toaster, tho'
not intimately, I. meditated. .
"I should like to Lave -- ti - "of'dok — at a

" C or.a-inighty, massa, Pao nigger, and

It was ‘Satmday ; that night, armed
with a pass, Against; molestation' by; the
patrol, Jake went home. • I thought- no
more of the hunting, but amused myself
next :day as well _as . I .could, malting . a .
synopsis . of:Brother Banger's sermon. I
had many times wandered after him thro'
the tangled shrubbery of his periods, but.
I thought I would this time set down log
ically his premises, major aid minor, with
the conclusions, mathematically - speaking,
to reduce his vulgar fractions, with swell

Next day Colonel 13arivell and his daugh
ter started homeward. Manley and C ,ek•
burn sat at the door, but no words were
interchanged. An hour or two later the
young men followed, reaching Barrineton
in the evening. The most disappointed and
enraged man of the r arty was Cockburn.
Thouglyiess stalwart and muscular than the
Colonel, he was full of reckless impetuosity,
and was keenly sensitive to the imputation
of cowardice. It chafed him to see his
friend's tame acquiescence in Colonel Bar•
well's insolent dietatation, and lie would
have been glad to have a brush if his prin
cipal had shown the lesst disposition to
sustain him.
" We shall be laughed out of the world
fur this," was his hundred times repeated
consolation to the downcast bridegroom
on the way honie. "Two young men to
let one old fellow bully thcm,..ride over
them roughshod, and carry off the girl
when they had her sure: You and I
could have chawed him up in threo min-

" But -he was too well armed."
"Never mind his butcher knife: That
isn't worth shucks wheu you close in.—

"But I don't want a fight."
"Then what on earth did you go in

No man can face a whole , community
long. Into such a nest of hornets came
Manly and Cockburn. Every Where the,
ludarousiiii(F- of VT - elopement was the
theme of jeering conversation. Verses
were extemporized upon it, and were sung
by all the idle rascals in town, black and
white. Manly was treated to a mock
serenade; horns were blown, kettles were
beaten ; one of the serenaders had a tame
crow which ()awed in concert; another
led a venerable goat that bleated whqa.bi3
beard was pulled; for Manly it was Rin

thoughts of bestowing similar delicate at.

thought it bat not to run the risk of be

begin to believe Yon."
Their plan was speedily arranged.—
Cockb.urri, undertook to engage two_ or
three meri ::to. accompany them. They
thought the display. of force would intimi
date the Colonel into submission.
Strange that any persons could have
been found to go on so desperate an er
rand. Perhaps..- But what-- enterprise,
however, foolhardy, has ever failed to
draw followers froru among the fearles ,
spirits of Kentucky ? If Moline del Rey

first to,seale the walls. If Buoena, Vista
is to bc,) : -wod )Lit.b, Ken
tucky rifles and cavalry are ready.
Preparations were speedily and silently
made, and next morning at
: daylight,
Manly and Cockburn, with three friends,
all armed to the teeth, set out for Colonel
13arwell's estate. All of them wore
cloaks or loose coats, to conceal their
weapons; and as they had kept their in
tention secret, they expected to take the
enemy completely by surprise.
But the proverbial " little bird" carried
the news; in this case it was a black bird
—namely Jake. In some mysterious
way he heard what was -going on, and at
once came to me.
" Massa Bill, dere's trouble a brewin'
for 010 Massa Barr'!. Dat yer Manly an'
Cockburn is goin' to-morror to fotch away
Miss Cely, an' to shoot the of 'man if "he

Jake in common with all his race, bad
a mortal contempt for "po'r white trosh,"
and he was - rejoiced beyond measure when
his master came home - VietOrions. " I
'spected he was done shot of diit po'r

"Me! GO sixteen miles at night! I
think I shall not interfere in the quarrel.
Why don't you go yourself? Mind; I

"Oh, Massa, you'se sartin lawyer
enough to know dat niggbr's word ain't

The astute Jake ! To think that be

Notwithstanding, I kept my ground. I
did not see any reason why I should de

a dollar frormine, set out and found some

At the same instant the sharP crack of
the rifle was heard, and. Manley fell, off
his -horse.- - His -party -- responded - With
pistol-Shots, but their fire fell short and
only enraged their_ antagonist... Quick as
lightning hedischarged a load of buek- ,
shot from the other gun, and, inged• two
of thorn; one was. Cockburn, whose right
arm fell powerless at his side ; ,
.
The horsehoen now halted for parley.—
These movem'ents took place. within ten
seconds from the time wher6 Celia tame
down. It, was not until Colonel" Barwell
had set down the second gun, still smok
ino•,,by the door, that he became aware
of hisdaughter's presence. She had fal
len to the floor . and was, grasping his
knees with cries and supplications. She
did not obey his stern order to go to', her
room, but still _clung to _him, weeping
convulsively.
The two unwounded members of the
expedition now dismounted and picked"
up the body of their unfortunate, chief..;''
"13ring him in," said, the colonel.--,-
" Is, it peace or war ?" he continued, as
he rammed down a ball in •his rifle.—
" Let us understand each other." _ _
" Peace !" was the reply. , 1
Cockhurn meanwhile and his wounded
cotupanion, got off their horses with diffi
culty, and fainted from pain and loss- of
blood - hero - re they . had gone ten aieps. .(I
may as well stale here that amputation
became necessary in both cases.)
Manley was brought into the hall and
laid on ; his cloak for a pillow. The-colo
nel stood by unflinchingly; not a muscle

body in a paroxysm of grief, and,'l dare
say, remorse. Manley breathed, feebly,
but his eyes were shut-in insensibiliay.—
Presently he gave a groan, which shook
his whole _frame; his eyes slowly un
closed. "I told you !—we part—l die
for you Farewell I" He was dead.
The colonel drew a - deep breath.—
" This is a sorry - business, gentlemen,"
said he, "and-I hope you• are satisfied
with your share in it.'
No one ventured lo answer. Celia
„still sat by the dead body, weeping and
moaning..
The master of the- house. then called
his servants, and.gave orders for the care
of the dead body. " He dispatched ono
for a surgeon, and ordered another to
have his earrian ready. The wounded"
men were brought in to receive inedi'cal
treatment.
Then turning. to one.cif the unfortunate
party, he said :
" Of course this affair will require a
legal investigation. 4.1 y carriage is pre
pred. seer 'SquirD
tnenway, the eormier ;Rnd say that I and
the witnesses are ready"
While waiting for dm . coroner, .Celonel
Barwell took his daughter aside and said :
" You must not blame me Celia. I
had information last night of their coin
ing, in violation of agreement, to tear you
, from me by force. You are my child,
land the law gives we the right to proteot
you and to defend my house from violence.
You were -not his wife, and he had no
claim upon you„ even if he had come
with an officer instead of a party of armed
desperadoes. And remember—for possi
bly I may not allowed to give bail, but
may have to be imprisoned until the tral
conies on —remember, I say, that pad
saw Manley's hand on, a revolver under
his cloak as he came through the gate."
What she saw, or what she remembered
or said, rests with her. I only give the
• facts' that were brought out at the trial.—
Miss Celia, in a very distinct voice, then
testified as. her father wished, and, upon
cross-examination, she admitted the con
versation I have just recorded.
The coroner sat. A magistrate •to
whom the homicide surrendered himself,
bound him over to -the next-term , Of
court. The colonel gave bail and went at
large, as stately in, his carriage, as proud
and defiant, or as gracious and agreeable,
as he had ever been; The -day he was
admitted to bail, he came to Barrington,
and engaged counsel for the defense; .
