"FcoIery, Sir, doth walk about the orb : like

WITHIN bar--our bar to wit, are found,
In learning eloquence aud skin profound,
Three legal wits: all wise above their age
In each case, Judging by mere title psge;
They n young indeed bu. here that's no disgrace,
I then would seek some far more genial place.
.Nul Tel is Gts< choice scraps of legal lore
Lard his discourse and dack each sentence DER ;
II goes for learning aud the sprig is bright,
Though dtcti nal hut IN un umer plight.
That must be deep, which is not understood
And each profession still will have its hood
Next Parol comes, with lengthened .peeohe,
fraught,
Where words abound moro copious far thar
thought
Each point be dwells on, per tout et per my,
And no esioppel, stops verbssity.
Tedious and dull he wears the time away.
And nothing says although he talks all day.
II he but talk. no matter what he says:
Talking is eloquence in modern days.
He who combines, at once within himself
The Gift of tongue and skill Of getting pelf:
Possesses all that men call good and great,
Wise at the bar and mighty in thr state.
Briefs the last, but shrswdest Of the three:
He says not much, but then he gets his fee.
On every psint, he always has some doubt,
Till forma deni drives all darkness sut.
Fees fssss suit net, remember though in fee
Ofseisin full, he seeks the hssry.
But when in sootb, there is no quid pro quo,
Closed are his lips and counsel will not Aow.
Nor docs he hope it, who bat once reflects
How true cessante causa, cessat lex
But hold this scandal! sure our little bar,
Contains much worth, that's never under par.
Could every state but boast such honest courts,
Such .kilful Judges aud such learned reports:
Our clsih would blunt the merry shafts of wit,
! Propelled by spleen that's careless whore they
hit.
The jade that's CALLED will vince, its withers
wrung,
Yet some damn law, Though they remain unhung.

Extract Of letter frsm an officer who accom-
panied General Sir Charles Colvile in his tslr
and inspection of Ocean, containing description
Of the memorable Hindu Caves at Elsrc, 1,t
March, 1920:
"These caves are 10 m,lss from Arungabsd,
and consist OF more than 20 excavations in a
rocky mountain, which forms a semi circle ef
about 1000 yards. The largest Of the caves is
called khylass, or Paradise. IL is cut through
the solid rock, and no other material is used.
The chissel seems TO have been the only tool en-
ployed. most beautiful stone temple is formed,
adorned both inside and outside with figure, in
basso relieve, and separate figures of the most
exact symmetry, representing all the Hindu
Gods, their conquest Of Ceylon. &c. I here is a
space between the scarpod rock aud the temples
with galleries, and verandah under the for
mer, IN which there are 80 gigast,c figures, with
symbols of their history, &c. forming the whole
of the Hindu mythology. Tn. dimensions of
this cave are 24O feet in length lao in breadth,
and the scarp 30 feet in height. The temple has
amoveablo appearance. from elephants, tigers,
&c. being cut underneath the floor, which appear
to support The whole building the heads and
part Of their bodies only being exposed on ths
outside. Many Of the other caves are equally
extraordinary. here are flying figures, wem.
en-, and all the iabciiul tales of the Hiudus, adj
mIraby depicted in stone. There is a miser,
about ten feet in height, with his mother, wife
and children clinging TO his legs, whilst thief
is taking of his treasure Ii is a groupe that
might be placed near the Laocoon, and our stulp-
tors might take lessons by a Welt to these won
derful caves. There are no natives now in ex
istence equal to any thing Of the kind.-some
thousands must have been employed their origin
is involved in obscurity. The general report is,
that they were made about 1000 years ago, whom
the boodh, or the Brahmln religion was in the
greatest splondor, and that they were used for
schools, religious rites, &e. aad the residence of
the priests.-1hers is a proiusion and mnuteness,
elegance and lightaess in the fsares beyond de
soription. The whole of the orders are displayed
on the pillars, which cut out as il to support
the rooms inside. No chumas (lime) is used
There is some account of these caves in COY
Fitzclarence's travels, and some beautifsl anp
correct views Of them by Daniels. They are
thought by some superior in magniiic enes, thu
n another way, to the pyramids Of Egypt"
