The Office Hunter.

The late Judge Hopkinson has furnish
ed truthful picture of the degradation of
ce-hunting, and the character of the
man who makes Office the chief object OF
his efforts. The reader will be at no loss
in making a proper application:
1.-The man who sets out in life to live
by public office. will surely die in poverty
and neglect. would not direct your
aspirations to such objects. ] would not
light up in your hearts the low and dis
graceful ambition Of an office hunter
The only Independent man is he who de-
ponds upon himself. Serve your country
when your country wants you, but seek
not popular favor at the expense Of your
honor, independence and selfrespect. OF
all the occupations to which pride and
idlcness can drive man to the most de-
grading is that of begging politician, a
regular place hunter. He is a compound
Of meanness and hypocrisy-ready to
serve all and betray all. lie is true to
nothing but his own scliishness"

Ever since this expedition was first an.

The gambler then helped the preacher to ar
range his sermon; borrowed the lynn book. and
sat down with expression Of mock serious
ness in his countenance.
BY this time q crowd had gathered round to
witness the proceedings, wondering what would
be the vpsl,ot Of the business. Fhe preacher
smooth-d his face. selected . hymn. and then
lifted up his hands and eyes in the attitude Of
prayer. Waxing warmer aud warmer NJ he
proceeded, he appe aled to God in tho most spirit
stirring and solemn manner; he alluded to the
gambler in . very pointed manner, and prayed
for his salvation from ruin to which he was SO
appeal, that a burning arrow seemed speedily
sent to the gamblers soul. The prayer was fol-
lowed by an excellent sermon by the young
clergyman. who after wards said that he never
felt more impressed IN his life with the aw full
sponsibiIty Of his mission, or felt fuller insPi-
ration from High to proclaim the wrath 10
come to dying and ilell-deserving sinners.
The gambler "squirmed" under the gospel
truth yet uneasy as he was, he contriv~d to sit
the sermon out; bot he couldn't wait to partici-
pate in singing the closing hymn.
Shortly after all was over, and going up to the
clergyman he said:

ayes. my friend, l have ,:.e honor to be

"Weii. ! thought as much! But ! tell you, l

Ter required further preaching that passage;
