"a year of sobriety, earnest devotion
TO my profession, and fervent prayer to
Hin who alone gives strength 10 every
good resolution, has restored TO me much
that had lost--but not all--not the rich

the law has laid its stern impassable inter-

Here the speakers emotions overcame
him. His utterance became clicked, and
he stood silent, with bowed and trembling
limbs. The dense mass OF people were
hushed into an oppressive stiffness, that
was broken here and there by halt stihed
sobs.
Al ibis moment there was movement
in the crowd. i single female figure, be-
fore whom every one appeared instinct
lveIy to give way. was seen passing uptie
aisle. This was not observer 10y DelaA-
cy, until she had come nearly in front OF
the platform on which he stood. Then
tie movement caught his ear, and lifting
bis eyes they instantly fell on Alice for
It was she that was passing onward he
bent forward towards her with suddenly
upiiiled hands and eager eyes, and stood
like statue until she had gained the stand
and advanced quietly TO his side. For a
moment the two stood thus, the whole an
dience, thrilled with the scene, were npon
their feet. Then Delaney openedhis arms,
and Alice threw herself upon lis bosom
with quick, wild gesture,
Thus for Tie space Of minute they
stood every one fully, By a singular in
tuition, understanding the scene. One OF
the ministers then came forward, and gen
tly separated them.
No, no" said Delaney, 'you must not,
you cannot take her away from me.
Heaven forbid that should do that !"
replied the minister. "By your own CON
iession she is not your WIFE"
mo, she is not" returned Delaney,
mournlully.
But she is ready TO renew her vows
again." Alice said smiling through her
tears that now rained over her face.
Before that large assembly, all standing
and with few dry eyes, was said in a bro
ken voice, the marriage ceremony that ga, G
Delaney and Alice 10 each other. As the
minister, an aged man, with thin White
locks, finished the rite, lie laid his hands
upon The heads Of the two he had joined
in holy bonds, and hitting up his aged eyes,
that sireamed with gladness, he said, in a
solemn voice,
"Wh@ God hath joined together, let
not RUN pnt asunder."
"Amen!' was said by the whole as
sembly, as with single voice.

From The .Amcrican Ryt5}jcon,
THE BROKEN HEARTED.

The fragrant now'rs again may bloom,
The spring birds charm the ear,
And nature wear her choicest robes,
Still to my memory dear
But oh, 10 more this heart can feel,
The raplures of delight
That shcne upon my. joyous soul,
That now is veiled in night.
Despair's barb'd arrow 5 in my heart,
And rankles in my breast
o. all the light Of former days,
My spirit Is bpreI'l.
For he who fondly pledged TO me,
His hearts warm consistency,
Has proved, as men too often prove,
False to his heart and me.
Oh, God that he may never know
Ut he anguish that feel;
A cuniti,e but broken heart,
I that nought but death can heal!
] welcome Death, my dearest friend,

For nought but misery now remains

.A TEMPERANCE STORY.

Two Young men "with q hummin' in
their heads, retired late at night 20 their
room in alerowded lnn, in " whioh, as they
entered, were revealed two beds, Ut the
wind extinguisking the light they both, in
stead OF taking, as they supposed, q bed a
peace got back INTO one which began 10
sink under them, and came around al in
iervals in "a manner very circumambient, +,
but quite impossible for implication. =
Presently one observed 10 the other:
81 say, Tom, somebody's in my bed"
rs there p' said the other; $50 there
ii in mine, Let's kick them out y
A seufile ensued ,,and the next remark
was :''Ton, I've kicked my man over
board.le Iis
eGood u said his fellow topper, "belter
luck than | my man has kicked me out
Fight on the Aoor!''
Their "rela,iye positions" were no. ap-
parent until next morning.

CURED at the seat of war, We will recon-.
mend them to Generals Scott or Taylor as
well practised corps, and in high state of dis
cipline. The man of talent, by the introduction
of the new code, will have better opportunity
to distinguish himself; and the result will be,
that the profession will be purified good deal,
and none but men OF education and proper qua
lfcations can successfully practice in it long
The facilities it will present for the obtain
ment of speedy justice, will also have the effect
to increase, considerably, the business of the
law courts, as many, hitherto, with just grounds
for action in numerous cases, have been scared
from the courts, in consequence of the difficult
ties and impediments presented in the way OF
pushing forward their suits, by the old system of
procedure.
Viewing the measure in every aspect, its speedy
introduction is loudly called for; and we antic-
pate complete revolution in the social relations
which it is calculated to effect. Trickery and
fincsse will be less cloaked under cover of law,
and the offender of the laws will have less
chance of escape through legal bubbles and un-
meaning forms of practice. This is what has
been long required and loudly called for, and we
trust that no factious or frivolous opposition
will interpose in the Legislature to keep this
boon from the people.

PROPOSED New PRACTICE IN LAw-CopE OF
PRocEDURE.-No measure of reform proposed IN
this State, for the last fifty years, can be deemed
equivalent in importance or public interest, to
the proposed law now before the Legislature,
with view to simplify and abridge the prac-
tice, pleadings and proceedings in our law courts;
the greater portion of which we have already
presented to our readers
The many impe diments, the almost impossible
barriers, that hitherto have frustrated the ends of
Justice, through lax, vague and indefinite code
ofpractice, have been long subject of loud and
reiterated conde mnation The tortuous devices
the crooked ingenuity, of every petty lawyerlng
IN the proceedings OF our law-courts-the sys-
tenn of carrying up" as the profession terms
it--hsve long since made the law perfect null-
ty, and given an undue advantage to the man of
wealth, Involved in law, SO that Honesty us.
Gold in any of our courts, stood but little chance
of success.
We have perused the greater portion of the
proposed act now before the Legislature, as re-
ported by the comm ssioners, and consider that,
as a whole, it will meet the wants and wishes of
the people who are to be governed by Its provl-
sions. The act will doubtless receive some mo-
difcatons before its final passage, and may meet
with some opposition from the friends OF the old
system OF tedious and unmeaping formallty and
mystifcation but of its final passage, we are
no way apprehensive as to the result. The mea-
sure is one of such vital interest that no time
should be lost in disposing of it; and, connected
with the law reforms already introduced under
the new constitution, will be hailed as great
boon to the community at large.
The application OF the principles of law to
cases affecting the rights and interests of parties,
IN relation to person and property, will no longer
be deemed mockery of justice, when we shall
have tins simple code of practice and pleadings.
1t is curious fact that the greater portion Of
the canaiiie of the law profession in this city, de-
rive their support by the system of what is call
ed sharp practice" in law proceedings. This,
the reader will understand, is mode of legal
sharp-sh ootinP--whet in military tactics is term
ed bush firing, or in other words, shooting
over the fence, and taking your adv srsary una

therefore, have the effect to dlsband the vast
corps Of legal sharp shooters who have so long
been attached to the Hobbies and oiiioes IN the
City Hall, and should their services be re-
