I2. ViSits.-If any one caDs,to see me,
shall entertain him politely; but shall

that account. Business FIRST, and amuse-
ment afterwards. shall be. my motto. If
any of nv friends are displeased a, this
rule, the sooner they cease 10 5e my friends
the better. Il
Liigation.-Everlastius litigation must
be expecled-ahd why? We make law
yers observation-disclosures are ever the
most prominent politicians. Lawyers, in
making laws, make them like the famous
.sbield-about which TWO, valiant knights
.fouehl-with two faces, with TWO aspects.
There is always room for argument as TO
the meaning Of the law, as the lawyers,
having an eye to business, intended there
should be. We would rather have,a law
framed dby halfa dozen Wostcbester county
farmers than BY half dozen of the most
eminent lawyers OF the city, ltwould,
we are satisfied, be much more clear and
understandable. 4 .ss,s.E. 54t'i9
