ADVICE TO A YOUNG LAWYER,
By HON, JOSEPH STORY

Stands not on eloquence, but on the laws
Pregnant in matter, in expression brief, d.,
Let every sentence stand with bold relief; ..
On trifling points nor time nor talents; waste, ~.
sad offence 10 learning and TO tastes; y:
Nor deal with pompous phrsse-nor cen suppose
Poetic flights belong to reasoning prose.
Loose defamation may deceive the crowd.
And seen more striking, IS II grows more loud !;
But S,ber sense rejects it with distain, 1 r S'G
As nsught but empty noise, and weak as vain.
The froth Of words, the sehoolboy's vain parade,
OF books and cases, all his stock in trade
The pert conceits, the cunning tricks and play
OF low Attorneys, strung in long array.
TIL unseemly Jest, the petu.ent reply. 80

''indions, avoid unworthy themes to scan, T.
They sink the speaker and disgrace the man. a
Like the false nights, by fly ing shadows cast, q

Begin with dignity; expound with grace s'H

Let order reign throughout; each topic touch,
Nor urge its power too little OF too much. 5.-.7
