A Friend In Need.
A young man was tried for murder,
having killed a member of a rival faction
in a faction fight. The judge, reluctant
to sentence him to death on account of his
youth, turned to him and said, "Is there
any one. In court who could speak as to
your character?" The youth looked round
the court and then said sadly, "There is
no man here, my lord, that I know." At
that my grandfather•chanced to walk into
the grand jury gallery. He saw at once
how matters stood. He called out, "You
are a queer boy that don't know a friend
when you sea himl"
The boy was quick witted. He an-
swered, "Oh, then, it is myself .that is
proud to see your honor here this day l"
"Well," said the judge, "Sir Vere, sinus
you know that boy, will yoga tell us what
you know of him?" "I will, my lord,"
said my grandfather, "and what I can tell
you is this: That from the very first day
that ever I say him to his minute I never
knew anythingof him thatwas not good."
The old tenant ended his tale by striking
his hands together and exclaiming, "And
he never to have clapped his eye upon the
boy till this minute?" The boy escaped
being hanged.—Recollections of Aubrey
de Vere.
