BARRISTERS ON CIRCEIT.—One large Clads of
rules of etiquette is conceived in the narrowest spirit of ex-
elusion, and has for its direct object to increase the expetts•
of the profession to practitioners. For instance, a barrister
on circuit mud travel by pest-chain and not by coach. A
barrister meat take lodgingsln &circuit town, and not lire at
an hotel. The reasons sometimes put forward in defence of
, these and similar rules, will not stand the lest of a moment's
investigation. It has been said that they are requisite to
keep up tho social position of the bar; but men of far higher
elation habitually travel by stage coaches, and put up at
hotels. They are sometimes defended on the ground that it
is requisite to prevent the bar from coming is contact with
attorneys, and other subordinate actors in the performances
of an assize. This plea is either in pubatence the tame as
the forcer one, and rests upon some mistaken notion of
artitiria "resPeciabilitr;" or it &ermines that barrieters
would unfairly turn such casual encounters into opportuni-
ties for securing business. We have heard the rule explained
on that ground by men of some authority, or we should have
hesitated to mention an explanation so childish and so intuit-
ing. But in fart three are lame attempts to account for the
clamor rules in quedion in some other way than the true one.
The truth is, they are designed to make the profession me ex-
pensive is possible, and thereby to exclude competition.
Every one who has gone a circuit knows that the leaders,
following immemorial tradition, aggravate the effect of the
rules by letting the example of unnecesserily levsii remune-
ration of every service that an Itinerant barrister can require.
To bee "counsellor" on circuit, is a sufficient reason in the
provincial mind for being fleeced and overcharged.—Lazo
Nogor;oe, for August.
AN OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN.—The garden was
one of them old-fashioned paradires which hardly exist any
longer except an memories of our childhood : to finical sepa-
ration between flower and kitchen garden there; no mono-
tony of enjoyment for one sense to the exclusion of another •
but a channing peradisiacal mingling of all that was pleasant
to the eyes and good for food. The rich flower border run-
ning along every walk, with its endless suceetteion of spring
flowers, anemones, auricular, well-flowers, sweet willhun%
campanulas, ettapdregona, and tiger lilies, had its taller
beauties, such as moss and Provence me., varied with asp t-
her apple-trees; the crimson of a carnation was carried oat
in the lurking crimson of the neighbouring strawberry bads;
you gathered a zooms rase one moment and a bunch of cur-
rents the next; you were in a delicious fluctuation between
the scent of jasmine and the juice of gooseberries. Then
what a high wall at one end, flanked by a eurnmer-hotue eo
lofty, that after unending its long flight of preps you could
see perfectly well there was no view worth looking at; whit
alcoves and garden seats in all directions; and along ono
side, what s hedge, tall, and firm, and unbroken, like a p.m
wall.—Bleektcomf's Maga:4A for August.
KITE FLYING.—Ace you walk towards Hyde-park
yen meet the boys with kites; they are not the fired* little
fellows who try to fly three machines without tails, but
knowing young dabeters, who have a notion which way the
wind blows. One peculiarity about the kites is the& we
serer saw any one pesa by the boy holding the string but
that he looked no to see where the kite am. It tbeen't
matter whether it's a young lady, an old gentleman, a little
child. or even the most supremo flunkey in the world, yen
may he sure that he or she will take a glance at he aerial
enswhine, and it only proves the truth of Biwa Lis a that
bight—
