Going to Law.

u II is at times, no doubt, necessary for
men to enter into the Courts ofthe coun-
try, to enforce by law the due obser-
vance Of their rights, on the part of
others. We. are bound, by duty to
ourselves and those dependent upon us,
to resist unjust claims, and we may be
compelled to resort to the law to com.
pei the payment Of that which is wrong
fully Withheld from us, or 10 seekredress
for grievances which we have suffered.
Much, however, Of The business Of our
Courts grows out Of tn, quarrelsome
disposition Of the parties, and is un-
necessary. Each party contends for
"the whole of Oregon or none," refuses
to compromise, and a law suit is, Of
course, the result. Both parties general
" find, after the contest is over, that,
with fees to lawyers, Court costs, wear
and tear Of conscience, wounded feel
ings and loss of time, they are worse off
than when they commenced. There is
nothing gained by going to law about
small matters. Ifa fair settlement can
not be made, the injured person will
find it more profitable in the long run to
pocket his loss than to bring suit against
his adversary. hsbt e& 4-'9 aa.ssh3@
1t is supposed by some that the mem.
bers Of the legal profession are the in
siieators ofall the litigation which takes
prass. Nothing can be father from the
truth Than such a supposition. In the
law. as, in every other profession, there
are bad men. 7 1t is not the law, how
ever, that makes them bad. Such men
would be rogues in any business or pro,
fession. These men are, of course, for
their own evil purposes, stirrers up OF
strife, and bringers Of unjust and dis
honorable suits. The number Of this
class is small. The great portion Of the
legal profession are men of honor. in.
tegrity, and correct principles. And we
venture TO say that. lawyers prevent
more suits than they bring-are peace
makers instead Of instigators ofquarrels.
And if clients would more frequently
follow the advice Of their counsel, there
would be a far less number of law suits
than there are now. al, w aas go.qs4
The only way to diminish the busi-
ness, Of the Courts is for all men to act
upon the golden rule, Gas ye would that
men should do to you,, do ye also SO to
them likewise" Love, and the spirit
Of peace and compromise. If universally
would soon render Court
Houses unnecessary, lawyers brief1css,

storm; and our chosen and beloved
companions clustering around us, we
commence our Journey. Step by step
the scenes become more lovely, hour
by hour our hopes become brighter
A few OF our companions have dropped
away, left-suddenly we have entered
upon a new country. The dews of the
morning are exhaled by the feryor OF
the MONDAY sun; the friends that start.
ed with US are fast disappearing. Some
remain, but their looks are estraved;
others have become weary, and have
laid down to their rest; but new hopes
beckon US on. The scene is glorious
and brilliant; but the beauty and fresh
ness Of the morning has faded, and for
ever But still our steps fail moi, our
spirits droop not. Onward and onward
we go: the horizon of happiness and
fame recede as we advance to ii; the
shadows begin to lenglhen, and the chill
ly airs Of the. evening are suppressing
the fervor Of the noon day heat. Still
we press onward; the goal is not yet
won, the heaven not yet reached.
The bright orb Of hope that cheered
us on is fast sinking in the West; our
limbs begin to grow faint, our heart to
grow sad; we turn to gaze upon the
scenes that we have passed, but the
shadows ofthe twilight have interposed
their veil between us: we look around
for the old and familiar faces, the cons
panions ofour travel, but we gaze in
vain to find them, we have outstripped
them all, in our race after pleasure, ane
