The Search Warrant. There lived not 7 years ago, a wicked wight whose name was Joe Though very por he eschewed labor, and iived by tilching tran his neighbors, At least his neighbors always thought—though at it he was never caught he'd take, if he could get a chance, whatever fell beneath his glance; and whens farmer missed a hoe or an axe; ‘twas laid toJoe In fact, they made him, with impunity, a scape- goat for the whole community. ) In the same neighborhood there dwelt an old Duch farmer, named Van Pelt, whose wealth enabled him to keep large herds of cattle and sheep, and often he boasted of the latter; go Sheep than his were ever fatter. Our worthy furmer, thougk no glutton, was partial to tat chops of mutton, Une day he labored band and long, and like the nightingale in song be- gan to feel, as well he might, the keen de- wands of appetite—he'd eaten nought from ull night—and hieing forth be thought to slay his fattest sheep withoutdelay. He reachett the field which he supposed ail safe and snug his flock inclosed; but ‘hough the rest were mm the ground; the fattest one could mot be found. The field produced of grass and clover in mes supply; it was moreover encircled by a hig! rail tence—too high for sheep to scale—and hence he argued, ** there can be doubt some hungry thiet has been about.”’ Each circum. stance proclaimed it so, and who would steal asheep but Joe? ‘*’Twas he [’m sure, I fi bet my life on’t;”’ and be went home. and told his wite on’t. Next day heto the ‘squire repaired and with asolemn oath declared his full belief that Joe had got the sheep concealed about hiscot ‘To prove his guilt, dear sir, I wish you would instantly a warrant issue; aud the constables and I together will search Joc’s cat for my wether.’ The magistrate at once com plied, and with the catchpole at his side, Van Pelt ect forth, They reacned the spot, a tiny- looking rough built cot, and rudely entered without knocking.

Then the places are filled, and as nearly every member is reading or writing letters, and receiving or sending off correspondence, it is a busy scene, s> active that it is difficult at first to suppose it a delib- erative assembly. with which we associste a certain idea ot quietude, of listening, or ap- pearing to lieten even if the speaker is afflict- ing his hearer with a table of statistics. In this manner there is, with us, a great sacrifice of time to courtesy and externals By the ames system that time is turned to ac- count; an immense mass of correspondence is disposed of during @ sitting ; every desk is covered with books and papers, and a corps of pages—young. smart Mercusies in short jack ets—are in attendance to bring in or conve: out all communications; they are summ by clapping the hands in the Oriental manner, and are thus kept in pretty constant motion. The members do not quit their seats to hand in notices or amendments to the clerk. they are too busy. There is such an air of occupa- tion beyond the business of the State, that the characteristics of a public office and a Legisla- ture seem nearly equally blended. The inte- rior of a large bank in full activity, the clerks absorbed in their ledgers, and a casbieron his legs. addressing the manager on some detected irregularity that must be stt right before go- ing further, would present something of & House in a morning sitting, when a member is speaking on a point of order.

Fixing his attention steadfastly on the play and af- fecting unconsciousness of the whole affair, he left the man with the cane to settle with the other for the disturbance, who being wholly without an excuse, there was, of course, a ludicrous and embarrassing seene—during all which Phoenix was profoundly inte: in the play.

Hundreds ot persous ure anxiously desiring to build, and would do so immediately, could the materials be had. But it is not here; nor can the two mills now in operation supply a‘ tithe of the demand.

The natives be lieved the feat to be impossible, and that the summit was guarded by Divine prohibition it is 17,323 feet above the sea level, and ter- minates in a precipitous, snow-capped cone, which has hitherto foiled all the attempts of explorers. Major Robert Stewart, who was one of the perty, and who writes the account of it from Erzeroum, stetes that, on reaching the top, they stuck to the hilt in the snow a short double-edged sword. They also drank the health of the Queen. On this ho observes : ‘ Her Majesty’s name is probably the first that has been pronounced on that solemn height Since it was quitted by the great patriarch of the human race, as no record or tradition ex- ists of the ascent having ever been made be- fore.””” EF The following story has been current in Boston for many years as illustrative of the strength of Mr. 0, A.
