Brother Murray Somewhere in Yer

seventy or eighty members, that has recent
ly built Meeting house, and hired minis
ter, and is now some6fty or a hundred
dollars in debt, and can not raise the money;
and yet this same church spends yearly, for
tea and tobacco, more than enough, twice

at such inconsistencies, they are offended.

How necessary that its powers should he

TIE ABUSE OF LAWYERS.

preiudice exists in this land Of frccmen,
ngaiust The members generally Of The legal
nroression. With certain class, a law
yer aud knave are almost Synonymous
Terms !; and the QUERY against their avar-
ire and extorlion, is particularly unanim-
ous and loud. Itmay be rather an unpop.
uIor avowal, but in our opinion, no body
of men, combining SO much talent, integri-
,v and honorable feeling. is so unsparingly y
abused; and all This, merely because il
bonpens 10 be afflicted, like all other pro-
ressions of calling, with unworthy mem.
hers. The profession is, however, in no
danger from such vulgar prejudiccs. The
very class Of people who have most to say
about lawyers, are alwaysithe first to seek
their assistance when they get in trouble,
LAWYERS are /" the DEVIL with them, and
no abuse is high-seasoned enough, until
life. reputation or property is endangered
and then, forsoo,h, if they are unable Ia
nav a lawyer his fee, his services are
sought as matter of charity. There arc
some well-meaning persons, who join il

reflection or inquiry, as 10 whether there

Useful Hints.-The world wants reeu-
lating things are not going on as they
should do, and we'll just drop n few hints
that may be found useful in the way OF
setting it right.
First and foremost, people all through
the country are too scrupulousy exact in
paying for newspapers. Papers we're
never printed to be paid for; it is a vulgar
error to suppose so.
There is foolish prejudice still extan,
TaPprur lrrrh h-utt''------------.-e..,a-
correction.
When in an editorial sanctum many
persons imagine it necessary TO he speedy
in doing what business they may have
with an editor, thinking they must moi
trouble our papers. examine manuscripts,
&c. This is all nonsense. The way for
a man to make himself agreeable in an
editors office, is to open all the exchange
papers, read and throw them aside any
where; talk loud, and if about nothing, Sc
much the better; pick up what the editor
has written, read and criticise, take the
arm chair, and don't forget 10 place your
feet upon the table; in short, make your
self perfectly sociable, and you'll do. L
the editor is in your way kick him out.
Tailors have ofIate years grown ino ar
impulent habit Of asking payment of lheil
bills, and some honest smpletons counte
nance them in it. Never pay taiors.
Eat and drink by all means; never lie
day pass without eating and drinking
Just attend 10 this hint, and after a liIll'
practice you will find there is great dea
of pleasure in following the habit.
If You have a remarkably fine set o
teeth, never laugh.
When man treads on your corns, nev
er neglect 10 thank him kindly, and re
quest continuance of further favors.
Above all things never take hint, 70
there is always something more snbstan
!ial in reserve, which you may as wei
have as ri:;;.-Picayune.
