Kins' Cup and Clover Blossom.

A white Clover Blossom modestly lifted
her head from the green earth. Her pale
check was almost hidden in the lonir grass.
She was scarcely concious of her own exis

for her fragrant breath, which filled the air
with perfume.
High above her head fiiurited a brilliant
King Cup. "As the winds Guttered her broad

You are still wrong ia your conjecture,

Ah that is it ! Yery uapleasant, certain
ly, to pay away money,' observed the learned

It is, inded, for those who Lave little to
spare,' observed the other gentleman.
Will, I Lope it is not to any serious
amount.'
Why, the magnitude of the sum, jou
know, depends on the resource? of the party
who has to make the payments.'
'Yery true; certainty, very true,' said Mr.
Yaughan.
The sum of JCIOO, which, to one of my
limited means, is a very large sum indeed.'
jut perhaps you expect to be repaid in
some way or other agtiin V
That's very uncertain ; it depends entire
ly on whether ray relative, who has just taken
a public Louse there, succeeds in business or
cot.'
Well it certainly 13 a hard case,' observed
Mr. Sargeant Yaughan, with a serious and
emphatic air.
'Aye, you would say so if you knew the
whole of it.

said that thev were also comi? there on a

cf the parties that it would be better for all

party pretended to approve highly of the
suggestion, and further proposed, in order to
hhovr that neither had the start of the other,
that they should depoMte the amount of mon

Why this that scarcely bad the three
p.irties left the inn a minute, when one of the
two strangers came running back, and said
that on a second thought they bad all come
to the conclusion that it would be belTer to
make their purchases as early iu the day as
possible, and that, consequently, the other
two bad desired him to return and get tbe
money.' .
'And tbe landlord gave bim tbe whole
amount at once?' interposed Mr. Sergeant
Yaughan.
He did, indeed; unfortunately for himself
and me.'
'And what followed?' inquired tho learned
gentleman eagerly.
Why, the other stranger and the London
mercbent returned in about an hour after and
demanded their money.'

To-morrow came, and the case was
called on.
The poor inn-keeper, acting on tbe advice
of Mr. Yaughan, but not perceiving in what
way he could Le benefitted by it, defended the
ca.-e.
Everything proceeded go favorably for the
prosecution for some time, that, though every
person ia the court deeply sympathized with
the uufortunate landlord, they saw no possi
bility of any other result than a verdict
against him. Mr. Sergeant Yaughan, when
the case for the prosecuiiou was closed, arose
and said
Now, gentlemen of the jury, you have
heard the evidence adduced. Vou have beard
it proved by unexceptionable witnesses, that
the defendant had the mortt positive instruc
tions from all three, not to deliver the money
or any part of it. to either of the parties, ex
cept ia the presence of all. Gentlemeu, my
clieut has the money in his possession, and is
ready to give it up when ali the three parties
come and claim it. Let the absent party be
brought to his house ia company with the
other two, and every one will have bis money
restored to him.'
The defence was equally ingenious and
complete.
The j'jry looked at each other as amazed
as if some new world bad bus upon their as
tonished gazo So did all the spectators in
court. The verdict was, of course, for the
defendant. It is unnecessary to add that the
man who had absconded with the money nev
er returned, and consequently the poor land
lord bad never to pay a
