A gentleman of eoosiclerable estate, re: siding in the western part of England, had two sons. The oldest being of a rambliniz disposition, went abroad. Atter several years his father died, when the youngest son destroyed his will, and seized upon the estate. He gave out that his brother was dead, and bribed some false witnesses to at test to the truth of it. In the course of time, the elder brother returned, and in miserable circumstances.— Fits younger brother repulsed ,him with scorn—told him that he was an impastor, asserting that his brother was dead long ago, and be could bring witness to prove it. The poor fellow, having neither money nor friends, was in a most dismal situation Be went around the .parish making bitter complaints ; and, at last, name to a lawyer, who, when he had heard the poor man's mournful story, undertook his case, and en tered as action against the younger brother, which was agreed to he tried at the next general assizes at Chelmsford, in Essex. The lawyer having engaged in the cause of the poor mac, set his wits to work to counteract the .powerful interest exerted against him. At last be hit upon the bap py thought, that he would consult the first of all the judges, Lord Chief Justice Bale. Accordingly he flew up to Loudon and laid open the case in all its circumstances..:— The Judge heard the ease patiently and at tentively, and promised all the assistance in his power. With this object he contriver matters in such a manner as to_have all his business at the king's bench before the assizes began at Chelmsford. When his carriage bad conveyed him down very near the assizes, he dismissed his• inaq and equi page and sought out a retired house. Be found one occupied bye miller. After some conversation, and itakiog himself quite a greeable, ho proposed tp the miller to change clothes with him and as the Judge hada _ _ All An elperiekoriA.lll.7• DiTeewspaper. good suit on, the man had no mason to ob ject. - Accordingly, the Judge put on a complete snit of the miller's best, and armed with a stick, away he marched to Chelmsford, pro cured lodgings to his liking, and waited for the assizes that were to begin the next day. When the trial came ruffle walked like an ignorant country fellow, backward - and for ward along the country hall, and soon found the poor fellow that was plaintiff. As soon as he came into the hall, the miller drew up to him : 'My honest Mend; said he, 'how is your ease likely to go to-day ?' _ _ 'My cage is in a very precarious situation. and if I lass it I am ruined for life,' replied the plaintiff 'Well, here friend,' replied the miller, 'will you take myadvit:e ? I wilier you into a secret, which, perhaps, you do not know ;-- every Englishmen has the right and privi: lege to accept against any juryman through the whole twelve; mow do you insist upon your privilege, without giving •a reason why, and I will, do you all the 'service .in my - power? Accordingly,_wheit_the_elerk_of_the_court_ had called over the jurymen, the plaintiff excepted to one of them by name. The judge on tilt bench was highly offended with his liberty. 'What do you mean,' said he, 'by ing against that gentleman ?' mean, My Lord, to assert my privilege as an Englishmen, without giving the rea sons why.' 'Well, sir,' said the judge, who had been deeply brihed, 4 as you claim your privilege, who would• you wish to have in the room of that man excepted against ?' After a short time taken into considera tion, 'My lord,' said he, wish to have an honest wan chosen,' and looked around the court, we will have him, if you please' Accordingly the 'miter was 'selected.' As I soon as the clerk of the court had given them all their oaths; a little dextrous fellow came into the department, and slipped ten golden-narol-uses-in-td-the-hands-of-oleven4u ryineo, but gave the miller but five. He ob served that they were all bribed as well as himself, and to his next neighbor in a soft whisper he said : `How, much have you got ? 'Ten pieces,' said he. He concealed what be had himself. The case was opened by the plaintiff's counsel, and all the Peraps of evidince they could fish up were adduced in his favor. The younger brother witA provided with a great number of witnesses - , all bribed as well as the judge, They deposed that they were t•elf-same country when the brother died, and saw him buried• The coUnselors argued upon this accumulated evidence, and everything went with a full tide in favor of the younger brother The judge said : 'Gentlemen, are you agreed, and who shall speak for you ?' •We are agreed, my lord,' replied one, 'our foreman shall speak for us. 'Held, my lord,' replied the miller, 'we are not all agreed.' `Why, what's the matter with you ? What reasons have you for disagreeing ?' 'I kave several reasons, my lord,' replied the miller. 'The first is, they have given to all these gentlemen of the jury tea broad pieces of gold, and to n►e but five; besides, I have my objections to make to the false reasonings of the lawyers and the extraurdi. nary evidence of the witnesses.' Upon this the miller began a discourse, that discovered such vast penetration of judgment, such extensive knowledge of the law and expressed with such energetic and manly eloquence as to astonish thejudge and the whole court. As'he was going on with his powerful demonstration, the judge, in surprise stopped him. 'Whore did you come from and who are you 1' _ • came from WeStminster Hall,' replied the miller, ( my name is Matthew Hale—l um Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench. I have observed the iniquity of your pro. ceedings this day, and' therefore come down from a seat you are unworthy to hold. You are one of the corrupt parties in this iniqui• tow busine , :s. I will come up this moment and try the case over again.' Accordingly, Sir 3latthew went up, with his miller's dress and hat on, began with the trial from its very origin; searched every circumstances of truth and falsehood ; proved the elder brother's title to the, estate, and gained a complete victory in favor of truth and justice. Is RE RICH ?-1111ny a sigh is heaved, many a heart is broken, many a life is ren dewed miserable, by the terrible infatuation which parents often manifest in choosing a life-companion for their daughters.' Bow is it possible for bappioess to result front the union of two principles so diametrically op posed to each . other in every point, as virtue is to vice I And yet, how often is wealth considered a better recommendation for young men than virtue. .1-row often is the fiat which is asked respecting the suiter of a daughter, this : 'ls he rich ?' Yes, he a bounds in wealth ; but does that afford any evidence that he willmak-3 a kind and affec tionate husband ! 'ls he rich ?' Yes, his clothing, is purple and fine' linen, end he tares shiepttiously every day, but can you infer from this that he is virtuous ? 'ls he rich P. Yes, he has thousands listing on every -o cean, but do not riches sometimes 'take to themselves wings and fly away ?' And will you consent that.,your daughter shall marry a man whO [lei nothing to recommend him but his wealth ? Ab, beware! The gilded bait sometimes covers It bearded hook. Ask. not, then, 'is he rich ?' but is he virtuous?' Ask not if he has-wealth, but has he honor! and do not sacrifice your daughter's peace for money.

Who, among her former companions, will cheer her wounded spirit with a smile of pity, and the sweet, soft whisper of •Go and sin no more ?' Are we pure, are we holy ?

MUFFLING TUE THROAT.— What is the best mode of protecting the throat from colds whore a person is very susceptible to them ? • The common way of protecting the throat is to bundle and wrap it up closely, thus over-heating and rendering it tender and sen sitive, and more liable to colds and inflam mation than before. This practice is all wrong and results in much evil. Bapecially is this the case with children, and when, in addition to the muffllng of the throat, the ex tremities are insufficiently clad, as is often the case, the best possible conditions are pre-' seated ,for the production of eore throats, coughs, croups, and all kinds of throat and lung affections. It is utterly impossible to entirely exclude cold air from the neck, and if it is kept overheated a portion of the time, when it is exposed some derangement of the throat will be very apt to writ The rule in regard to clothing the neck should be to keep it as cool as comfort will allow By doing so you will suffer much lees from throat ailments than it you are always fear. sul of having a little cold air come in contact with your neck. Any one who has been ac customed to have his throat muffled' should be careful to leave it off gradnally,•and not all at once.— Herald of Health.
