EVENING STAR. | Some years since professional business me into the company, for a long day’s 1 hrough a dreary pine-wood country, in an rn country, with Mr. Stabbs, its she-*f ‘By the middie of the afernoon we had ex- hausted, a3 subjects of conversation, the par- ticular attachment ease which b it Bs to- — the me soriare of ee ‘country, prospects 1 growing crop, several matters of personal history. La fet, we had ran out—to use a trite but expressive meta- pbor—whensuddenly Mr Stubbs’seye flashed, a strange smile fluttered across bis lip as © remarked : ‘“T haven’t told you, Squire, I believe, how { got ruined servin’ the first process,” (the heriff was not 2 learned man, and occasional- |y did misplace the accent,) “ that ever came thiew ide into my hands.”’ | ** No; let’s have it,’’ I replied, turping haf round in the saddle; ‘it cost you some money, did ii—you mistake.” ‘ Ah,”’ he ejaculated with a sigh, “it costa This was said with the air of mach snffer- ing. and I told him if it awakened pain‘ul emotions he must not thick of opening the :| old wound merely ‘or my enteriainment. ‘* It’s all over now,”’ sa'd he, *‘ and I don’t aind tellin’ it.’’ I don’t know how it was, ju i ad this mo- tment I caught sight of a saabby fold of erape ‘around bis hat, arid I cor d not belp associat- jing it with a sigh, the I- ubrious expression, and the “‘sarvin’ of the nrst process.” Anent that we she"! dissover something presently. Mr. Stubbs proce-ded : “Twas ‘Ive’ 2d the first she: f of the coun- tv; and at that time there weien’t more’n tarec or four hundrd voiers ‘n it. To be eae, wes right proud—it was euch an hon- 0°, like. “Yes; I had to m'ss cne te: of . 2: vice on account of the law, but then I was depity (deputy) under Stoke:; and when his tame ran out Jast,iwo years azo, I was ‘lected again. Bat that ain't tellin’ how 1 got ruin pted by that wilt. Now it’s reasonable to suppose that the first of a th'ag ain’t s0 easy to know as the middie or the last. So when the lawyer dowa at town made out the paper nnd put it in my hands I was just as bau ’oa- plusced a3 ever you sc>.”” ** What sort o: a writ was it?” ‘Nothin’ but the common coic, capias res ; I know ’em now like a book, Ey I hed crly know’d em then!” Here another de>p drawa sigh sapped the place of words. “«T took the plagay thing home. and [ ca"led in Bill Stokes (whien was Sheiiff himself, af- ter that,) and old Squire Lumpkin to counsel me on it. We read it over three or four times. Itordered me to take the body of Hannah Westbrook, ifto bo found in my county, and her safely to deep so that I should have her to answer before the judges of the next cir- cuit, fora debt she owed; and moren’t that, itsaid I was to do it without delay—ani it ‘was nich on to five months tilleomi! What was I to dowith her sll that time, and no sign of a jail in that county?” ‘* Well, it was a bard-looking ease. but that was simply a form, end the wiit might have been served by leaving a copy with the lady.” ‘Oh, I know that very'we'l now, but I didn’t know itéien. Beside, at the bottom of ‘the paper was writ ‘No bail,” and I know mow that them words mean xo dail required; but I thought then it meazt that ef she was to offer the best security io the State, .I wara’t to take it. And it was the construc- tion that Stokes and Lumpkin both put oa it; and the old squtie went .» far as to say, ‘et he was sheriff, he’d take that woman aad cary her home and lock her upin the small rcom with himself and his wife, every right, ontilcourt came around.” mt vuld bave made it pre’ty sae.” said Stubbs; but I knowed that wouldn't suit me, for my w fe (that was then) was high tempered, and never coutd bear strange people in the room. But, however, alter counsellin’, I got Stokes to go with me, and I went up to the widder and told my business. She was mighty bad scared at first, but when she got over that, che r’ared and nitehed. I should jist a gia out and gone some and resiyned, but Stokes quieted ner, sayin’ we could put her ia jail, but ef she be- haved herse’f we'd only take her down to my heuse and let her stay till court. Then she tuined iato cryin’ and beggin’ m2 to take her rieger woman and kcep her for secur ‘ty for the devt, which was only something over one hun- dred dollars, and the nigger was likely. But I looked in my paper and read it out to he-— to take the body of Hannah Westbrook ! **She said she’d go, and she had the old roan horse saddled up, and while Stokes and me were talkin’ and not noticin’. she mount- ‘ed him and started off in a lively canter, on ‘the Georgia end o7 the trail. We mounted and galloped actor her, and she hadn't gota half mile before we had her. Then she cried and begged again but we put 2 plough-line qound her waist and held the end, anu a ter dettin’ her give some directions to her nigger, Wf took ber down to my hou:> My wifo treated her mighty civil, and every day or two we'd let her goup hum and look after her consarns. So time roiled on till about a month befere court, and one day Stoke: 1id up to the igatein a power.ul hurry, and called me out.’” “* You’ye played taunder,’’ said he. “How ?”” said I. “ Why think of Mrs. Westbrook. It’s all Wrong, and she’s sent word dowa to the very Jawyex that put out that wiit against her; and’s got two against you; one to make you tazn her loosed, and t’other to make you pay éwenty thousand dollors for takin’ her !”’ “| shan’t serve ’em,’’ says I. ‘* Makes no odds. They've done appointed @&urrincr, (.oroner,) and he’!' be up to-mor- row, soon as Mrs. Wes_brook has a chance to Swear to someth’n’. You'd better look out!’’ “Well,” seid [, I 1-skon they’ve got you too. You was along, and helped to do it.” “Qh, yes,’’ says he, “‘ but they’ve got me for a witness !”” «TI said no mor2, but walked iight into the house, and there I found the widder teokin’ mighty pleased, and I told her s 1e'was free to go, and asked her pardon and shonld’nt charge her any board, and I hoped she'd come and see my old woman, and so on and £0 forth.” ‘* She went, I suppose.”” _ | She did, and the kurrirer come; and he ‘showed me how to cerve a writ by copy; I ‘shall never forget it. She took me into court jand there wern’t nothin’ done the first time. Before the next Court, my old woman died, and that wpserged every thing. What with her dyin’ and tke suit, I thought I would go © , to be sure,’” ’ *« But you didn’t?”’ “No, I bore it as well as I could, and just before court, came along the lawyer—Jen- kins—and said to me, ‘I think you and my client, Mrs, Westbrook, could comproneiee that case, ef you was to talk together about it.’ I > '| ‘hardly waited for him'to leave before I jumped on my horse and rede up te the widders.”” “She sorter laughed and said may be.” “I'd give you a hundred dollars to dropit, said I. . . ~~ 4 Lelitsg “* She frowned mij tily, and saig that warn’t the way she wanted to settlé it.’ 5 « Vil give you two,” said Test 4 » | $*Bhe frowned wotse than before, eud-snid ithat warn’t the way she wanted to sel i { tly something came righ Nay > It seemed to see plain. . .

The followiag is the address of the Czar to his soldiers on the cceasion of their defeat at Sebastopol: THE CZAR TO HIS SOLDIERS. “The defense of Sebastopol, which has ias- ted so tong, and which is pe: unexampled in wilitary avnals, has'drawn upon it the at- tention not énly of Russa but of all Eu: 5 From its very commencement it placed its fenders in the same rank as the most illus- trios heroes of our country. “In the course of eleven months the garri- son of Sebastopol has disputed with a power- ful enemy every inch of ground of the coun- try Aron pene boas town, — eowed its enterprises n distinguis! ot brilliant brayery.

They beat enemy or died with indomitable courage, with a self-de- nial worthy of the soldiers of Christ, without a thought of surendering. “ Regretiing from my heart the loss of so many generous warriors, who offered their lives as a sner.fice to their country, and sub- mitting with resignation to the will of the Most iaigh, whom it has not pleased to crowa their scis with compleie success, I feel it a a- ered duiy on this occasion to ex; inmy name, as well ss in that of all Russia, to the brave garrison of Sebas.opol the warmest grat- fiude for its iictatignle labors, for the blood it hat shed in the defence for nearly a year — fordifientions which it erected ina few ays. ‘But there are imnossibilities even for he- Toes.

MIKE FINCK AND THE BULL. "The story of Mike Finek and the bu’! wovla make a cynic laugh. Mike took a notion to go in swimming, and be had just got his clothes of when he saw Deacon Smith's bull making {i pua—the bull was a vicious anima, ana ad come near kil two or three persons— con.cquently Mike felt rather ‘jubus.”” He didu’t want to call for he was naked, and the nearest place from whence assistance could arrive was the meeting house which was at the time filled with worshippers, among whom ws: the “gal Mike war paying his devours to.”* Bo he dodged the bull’ a~ the arimal came at him, and managed toestch bim by the tail. He was dragced round till he was nearly dead, and when he could hold no longer, he made up bis mind he bad better ‘ holler.” Aud now we will lot him tell his own story. So, looking at the matter in ell its bearings, Icum to the conclusion I'd better let some one know whar I was. So I gin a yell louder than a lecomotive whistle, and it warn’t lont before I seed the dea2zon’s two dogs a coming dowa Ike as if they war sceing which coula fet thar first. I know'd who they were arier —they'd jive the bull agin me, I was-sariain, for they were orfull wenomous, and had a spite agin me. Sossys I, Old brindle, as ridin’ is es cheap ‘as walkin’ I’M jist take a deck pas- sage on that ar’ back o’ yourn. So I was'’nt very long getting astrideof him ; then, if you'd bi rT, you'd have sworn thar warn't notbin’ ninthar ar’ siz, the sile flew so orfully as the critter and I rolled round the field—ono dog on oné side and one ca the other tryin to clinch my feet. 1 prayed and cuss and ¢eussed and prayed, until I could’ nt tell which I did last--and neither warn’t of no use, they were so orfally mixed up. Wel!. Lrekon I rid avout half hour this - way, whon old brindle thought it were time to stop to take in a supply of wind, and cool ofa litte. Sowhen we got round toa tree that stvod thas, he naturally halted. So sez I, old buy, you'll lose qne passenger eartin. So I jist ¢elum up a branch kalkelatn’ to roost thar til I starved afore I'd be rid round thar ar any longer. I war a making tracks for the top of the tree, when I heard suthin’ a makin’ an orcul buzzin’ overhead. I kinder looked up, and if thar warn’t—well thar’s no use a swear- in’—but it war the biggest hornets nest ever biit—Yoa’il “gin in’” now I reckon, Mike, ‘cause there'sno helpfer you. But an ideo struck me then that | stood a heap better ¢hanco a ridin” the bull then wharl was. Sez 1 old feller, if you'll hold on, I'll ride to the next s.ation anyhow, lect that be whar it will. So I jis: dropped aboard him agin, and looked aloft to sce what I my apy chang- in® guariers, and gentleman. I’m a liarif thay it wigh ha’, a bushel of the stingin’ vati'nts ready to pitch into me when the word ‘go’ was gin. Well, I reckon thoy got it, for “all hands’’ started for our company. Some on’ om hit the dogo—about a quart siruck me, and the rest charged on brinai le. This time dogs led of first, dead bont forthe old deacon’s, and as soon as old briadle and I could get under way we fo'lowed, and as I wes ovly a deck passenger, and had nothin’ to do with steorin’ the craft, I sware, if J hal, we shouldn’t have ran that channel anyhow. But, as I eaid before, the dogs took the Iead— brindle and I next, and the hornets dre’kly arter. The di yellin’—brindle bellerin, and the hornets buzzin’ and stingin’. Well, we kad got about two hundred yarig from the house, and the deacon beard us and cum out. I seed him hold up his hand and turn white, I reckoned he was pragin’ th for he didn’t e: to be called 80 soon, an, it warn’t long neither, afore the wholg ec; gatien—men, women and childrey—oum ont, and ‘then all hands went to yellin’, None fem had the fust notion that’ brindle and I belonged to this world. I jist turned my head aod passed the hull congregation. I see the ran would be up soon, for brindle couldn’t turn an inch from a fence that stood dead abcad. Well,-we reached that fence, and I went ashore over the: whole critter’s head, landin’ on the t’other side, and lay thar stuned, Tt warn’t lofg afore some of em as was not scared, cum runnin’ to see what I war; for all hands kalkelated that the bull and I together. But ‘when brindle walked of himself they seed how it war, and one of “can ssid, “Mike Firick has the was of a sc: once in his life!"’ “Gentlemen, from that dee Re Ba Boe tad never spoke to a gal since, and ‘when ry hunt is up there won’ tod BP ait ol at son more Fincks, aya regular Uso of dlensineecbetween : United States and Australia is talked of. tS
