The poor fellow was strangely affected at first by his novel sensations. He dreamed over unopened books; he seribbled

The Attorney’s Revenge.

Twenty years ago, Sam Saunders and I were reading law together with old Squire Littleton, of Pleasant Valley. That is ta say, we both read, or professed to read, at the same time in his office ; but to own the truth, that ¢ogether must be taken in a very metaphorical sense.

Sam, indeed, read patiently and ploddingly. We went at

his skull, twenty years ago! That skull had such a happy thickness that no idea, once lodged, ever made its escape. But I am wandering from my story.

When Sam first camé into old Littleton’s office, we all thought him an incorrigible dunce.. As such, ke was made the subject of numerous tricks. Practical jokes of all de- scriptions he bore with immovable gravity. Tom Littleton, the Squire’s nephew, the wit of the office and the village, spent his shafts upon him in vain. Scott, our managing clerk, delivered long lectures to him, replete with such law as never had entered the head of mortal men; and when, our gravity exhausted, Tom and I rushed. out to give our laughter vent, Sam would gravely reach down his yast common-place book, and treasure up Scott’s mendacious maxims and apocryphal authorities with the most painful diligence.

But these things soon grew tiresome, even to ourselves. Sam was too easy a victim to afford lasting sport, and after the first month or two we left him to plod on his way alone. By and by the impression. gradually grew on us that. Sam was nota man to be despised after all. Slow and plodding be certainly was ; bat there was a world of good feeling under his great

The Land will be divided into building lots, and sold separately, if so required; or sold all in one block, with the fuildings thereon.

The situation of this property, being in the midst of a flourishing and beautiful settlement, and within a very short vlistance of the rapidly thriving sea-port settlement of Summer- side, renders it a very desirable location for the establishment of a Mercantile Business, or a Boarding House.

Bessie Littleton was the belle of Pleasant Valley. She claimed that title ona variety of grounds, She was the only child of the old Squire ; and the old Squire was a great man, even throughout the country. Moreover, Bessie, in her own right, was a bright-eyed, brown-haired, red-lipped little beauty ; and to crown all, she was the most artful and be- witching little coquette that ever proved, in a village church, how much a natural genius for flirting can surpass the studied art of city belles, Every one of the Squire’s students fell in love with her before they had finished the first chapter in Blackstone ; every one except-Sem Saunders. And eyery one had some sweet-treasured reminiscence—some particular word, | or look, or smile, upon which he built particular hopes. To be sure, if any one of them had examined the subject in con- nection with Phillips on Evidence, or any other good work on }that branch of his studies, he might have known that there | was hardly a prima facie case in his favor. But, perhaps, this is a process hardly to be expected of lovers,

Lazily smoking one July afternoon, in the position I have described before, a rustling of gauze upon the walk struck my ear. My eyes opened just in time to catch a glimpse of Bessie as she passed the open door. Something white fluttered to the ground as she vanished, Bessie had dropped her handkerchief.

Now, I do not mean to say that, Bessie intended to drop her handkerchief, or was cognizant of the loss. I am aware that handkerchiefs are often dropped by young ladies in situations

which entirely preclude the suspicion of any ulterior purpose. I am even prepared to admit that (except on the stage), handkerchiefs are more often dropped accidentally than other-

wise.

But when I glanced at Sam, I could read his heart like an open book. His broad face lit up with a smile that made it almost handsome;

lmight have been aware that I was at that time particularly | the a which was to decide the great case of Saunders vs | Littleton.

Having casually remarked that I had come up in company with the distinguished Mr. Flourish to try that case on the part of the plaintiff, I speedily found myself the object of almost as much curivsity as that eloquent counsel himself That the very ingenious efforts made to acquire information respecting the private affairs of my former fellow-student and Miss Bessie failed, was owing partly to my natural discretion, and partly to the fact, that, of all which had transpired since I left the village, 1 waseyen more ignorant than my inquisitors themselves.

The next merning after our arrival the case was called, and in the presence of a more crowded auditory than Oudamox County Court House had ever before contained, Mr. Fiourish opened for the plaintiff.

The evidence was brief, but decidedly to the point. It con- sisted chiefly of a series of letters from the defendant, which established, very conclusively, the following facts ; first, that after a long and assiduous courtship, on his part, she had given the plaintiff an unequivocal promise of her hand and heart ; and second, that some time after, and when Sam had already commenced his arrangements for their union, she had dismissed him in a manner equally decisive, and had ever since persisted in treating the whole matter as a tiresome jest, which none bat the very dullest of suitors would ever have considered earnest.

Here the plaintiff rested. Evidence for the defence there was none, for the nature of the case rendered it impossible. Miss Bessie could hardly deny her own delicate handwriting ; and it was in vain to attempt showing anything in the life or conduct of the staid, sober, prosperous lawyer, which would justify the breaking of a solemn engagement.

Squire Littleton, therefore, who was his daughter's oniy counsel, addressed himself at once to the jury. He spoke to them not so much as an advocate, as inthe manner which became an old man, reasoning with his neighbours. Ali that the plaintiff had shown, he said, was undoubtedly true. It was his hard lot to stand there, in his old age, and confess that his darling child had done much to grieve a fond parent's heart. She had committed what, in his own eyes, seemed a grievous sin; for she had broken her word. But this, he argued, was not the place or the manner to punish such offences. The law of contracts never was intended to be a substitute for the tribunal of conscience. Lf the plaintiff could show that he was pecuni- arily the loser by her ficklencss, the jury might compensate him. If he could show thatany more advantageous match had been lost, any prospect of advantage blighted, any outward loss or suilering entailed upon him, these were matters of which

they might properly take cognizance. But of this there was no pretence. The injury inflicted had spent itself in the immost

and from out his grey eyes there gleamed such tenderness as if his whole heart were flowing through them toward the beautiful girl,

With a smile and a gay word, she flitted away, and Sam turned back to his desk, and his eyes grew duil and his lips compressed once more over Chitty. I watched him with strange interest, for L had just caught a new glimpse into bis character. He loved Bessie Littleton with all the power of

| his deep, slow nature, and he had set himself down to win her |by the only means he knew—patient, plodding labor. And the next time | saw her, I gazed at her with an odd mixture of admiration atid pity ; for € felé that she had chesen a most unfit subject for her arts, if she were but flirting—and if she were not, that Sam Saunders and Bessie Littleton would make a very odd couple!

A year and more passed without making much change in Pleasant Valley. Sam studied, and Ismoked, and Bessie flirted, | Sometimes with Sam, sometimes with me, often with any new | comer that relieved the monotony of village society. She dan- _ced before my comrade’s eyes like a will of the wisp, or the

| tempting mirage towards which the laden caravan toils its | Weary way, always sustained by seeing it just ahead, yet never diminishing the distance that still remains to be passed.

Our admission to the har came at last, and we separated, I to build air-castles and blow smoke-wreaths from a fourth story window in Wall street, and Sam to open an office in his native village. Amid tlic novel excitements of city life, our village scenes, and interests, and friendships, soon grew dim and dis- tant. I began to think of them as of a different sphere, with which I had lost my connection; and I even found myself speaking and thinking of the fascinating Bessie asa pretty little girl whom T once knew in the country. :

Jt was some time in the third summer of my professional life —I can a say of my practice—that I ‘strolled into the rooms of Mr. Flourish, the eminent counsel, whose office was two floors below me. I had got into a habit of doing this, for it was pleasant to sce clients even if they were not my own, and to see that fees and retainers still existed, and were vot, as my own experience had almost led me to believe, traditions derived from a by-gone age,

** Quidam,”’ said my learned brother Flourish to me, “ you studied law in Pleasant Valley, did you not!”

I nodded.

** Wouldn’t you like to take a turn up there next week? I am going up to try a case.”’

I could not help expressing my wonder that any case should arise there of suflicient importance to call from the city a counsel so eminent as Flourish.

‘* Jt isa queer case, a breach of promise ; and the queerest part of it is that eaeee is of our own profession.”’

Taking up the bundle of papers which he drew from the great heap on his desk, the first one which met my eyes was the fol- lowing ‘* declaration.’’

SUPREME COURT. SamveL SAUNDERS vs. Exizapeti Lirrreron.

Oudamon County, ss.: Elizabeth Littleton was attached to answer Samuel Saunders of a plea of trespass on the case upon promises ; and thereupon the said Samuel Saunders in his own | proper person complains. For that whereas heretofore, to wit, lon the first day of April, in the year , at the town of | Pleasant Valley, in the County of Gudamon aforesaid, in con- sideration that the said Samuel Saunders, being then and there unmarried, at the like special instance and request of tle said

| fully promised thesaid Elizabeth Littleton, tomarry her the said Elizabeth Littleton, and she the said Elizabeth Littleton under- took and then and there faithfally promised the said Samuel Saunders tomurry him, the said Samuel Saunders, ita reasonable time then next following. And the said Samuel Saunders avers | that he, confiding in the said promise and undertaking, hath | always hitherto remained and continued and still is sole and un- | married, and hagh been and still is ready and willing to marry the said Elizabeth Littleton ; and although w reasonable time for | the said Elizabeth Littleton tomarry him, the said Samuel Saun- |

| ders, hath elapsed since the making of the said last mentioned _ promise and undertaking, yet the said Elizabeth Littleton, not | regarding her said last mentioned promise and undertaking, but contriving and fraudulently intending craftily and subtily to deceive and injure the said Samuel Saunders in this behalf, did not nor would within such reasonable time as aforesaid, or at any time afterwards, marry him the said Samuel Saunders, but hath hitherto wholly neglected and refused so to do, to wit, at the town of Pleasant Valley afvresaid, in the County aforesaid. Wherefore the said Samuel Saunders saith that he is injured and hath sustained damage to tle amount of five thousand dollars, and therefore he brings his suit.

CHAPTER IT.

From time immemorial court-week had been a period of high festival in Pleasant Valley ; but I could not help faneying, as

heart. That it was an injury,a deep and galling one, he most | humbly confessed ; but-itwas one which could not be estimated -in dollars and cents. The highest verdict claimed. would not ‘mend the plaintiff's heart one whit ; the lowest possible would more than compensate his pocket.

All this seemed to be very good sense ; and yet I was con- vineed that it would have but little weight with the jury. In private life those twelve men would each probably have reasened in the same manner ; but in the jury-box they felt it their colemm duty to compensate, with pecuniary damages, all the suffering and evils of the world.

Flourish knew well this idiosyneracy of jurymen, for it is one by no means confined to the panel of Oudamon county ; and he framed his reply accordingly. Under the charm of his fervid eloquence, Sam (who, in rugged health, and with a bag full of briefs, sat just behind him) became the most dejected , the most blighted, the most broken-hearted of sufferers. Bessie (who sat on the other side, with that same bewitching smile as of old, rendered only still more fascinating by a puzzled look, as hardly knowing whether to laugh or cry,) grew into the most artful and dangerous of foes to human happiness, whose power for ill those intelligent jarymen were called upon to destroy, by the all-powerful spell of exemplary damages.

Mr. Flourish wiped the perspiration from his brow, and sat down ; and the jury were charged in the most approved manner.
