Yc ship-builders of England,
That load our native seas
With craft not fit 10 brave a year
The battle or the breeze:
Such rubbish do not launch again,
Top-heayy, dull, and slow,
As they creep through the deep,
Whatever wind may blow.
The spirits of rctrcnchment
Shall start from every wave,
For in the sea economy
Through you has found grave.
Thousands and thousands you have sunk
In ships that will not go;
For they creep through the deep
Whatever wind may blow.
The costly ships of England
For irc-wood yet may burn,
Till to tho models of the past
Her shipwrights shall return.
Then, then, ye clumsy ship p-builders,
Our song no more will throw
All the blame on your name
Which now merits every blow Punch

pines. Up near the mountains but few

A PIECE OF LEGAL ADVICE.

Rennes, the ancient capitol of Bsiua-
nv, is famous place of law. People
come from the extremi,ics of tho country
to get information and ask advice. To
visit Rennes without getting a,vice ap.
pears impossible to Breton This was
true at the latter end O: the last century,
Just as it is ut present, and especially
amongth country people who are timid
and cautious race.
Now it happened one day that farm
er named Bernard, having come to Ren.
mes on business, bethought himself that
as he had few hours to spare. it would
be well to employ them in getting the ad-
vice of good lawyer. He had often
he,rd of Monsieur Potter de la Germo-
dale who was in such high repu'c, that
people believed lawsuit gained when he
undertook their cause. The country.
man enquired for his address, and pro.
ceedcd to his house in l'uc St. The eli.
ents were numerous, and Bernard had to
wait some time. At length i is turn ar
rived, and he was introduced. NJ. Potter
de la Germodaie signed him to be seated,
then taking off his sprctacles, and placing
them on his desk, he requested to know
his business
"Why. Mr.. lawyer" said the farmer,
twirling his hat. al hive heard so much
about you, that as have come to Rennes,
wish to take the opportunity of con-
sui,ing you"
ar thank you for your confidence, nv
friend. you wish to bring an acton, per-
haps?"
"An action! Oh, hold that in abhor-
rencel Never has Pierre Bernard had a
word with any"
"rrhenit is settlement--a division of
property"
Excuse me, Mr.. lawyer; my family
and have never made division, seeing
that we all draw from tho 8 me well, as
thev saw"
"Well, is it to negotiate a purchase or
a sale?"
ooh, no; am neither ric', enough to
pur 'hase nor p>or enough to sell !"
"Will You tell me, then, what you do
want of me?" said the lawyerin surprise.
"Whv, have already told you, MIR.
LAWYER" replied Bernard. al want your
advice---for payment, of course, as ] am
well abe to give it to YOU. and don't
wish to lose this opportunity"
M. Potter TOOK a pen and paper, and
asked the countrynnan his name.
"Pierre Bernard" replied the latter.
quite happy that he was at length un'
derstood.
"Yonr agea"
"7hty years. or very near it,

do. am farmer.
The lawyer wrote two lines, folded
the paper, and handed it TO his strange
client.
us it finished already? Well and
good. What is the price of that advice,
Mr.. lawyer?"
Three francs"
Bernard paid the money. and took his
leave delighted that he had taken advar-
tage of his opportunity.
When he reached home it was four
o'clock, the journey had fatigued him,
and he det rmined to rest himself the re.
mainder 4 f the day. In the mean time
the hay had been two days cut, and was
completely saved. One of the work
ing men came TO ask if it should be drawn
i'm.
What. this evening exclaimed the
farmers wife, who had come in to NEE.
her husband. at would be pity to
commence the work so lt:e, since it can
be done tomorrow without any inconvc-
nience. The man objected that the
weather might change; that the horses
were all ready ard tie men idle. But
the farmers wife rel ed that the wind
was in IL good quarter and that night
would set before their w rk could be
completed. Bernard, who had been lis
tening 10 the argument, was uncertain
which way to decide, when suddenly re-
collected that he had y lawyers advice
in his pocket.
"Wnit II minute" he exclaimed; al
have an advice, and famous on" too,
that paid three francs for, it ought TO
tell US what 10 do. Here. The esa. see
what it says; YOU can read written hand
better than L."
The woman took the paper. and read
this linc:-"Never pm Off till to-morrow
phat may be done to-day.'
"rlat's it, exclaimed Bernard, struck
witha sudden ray of Hght-"Comc, be
quick: get the carts and away; boys and
girls, all to the bayfield,"
His wife venured few more obec-
tions, but he declared that he hnd not
bought thee francs opinion to make no
use of j., and he would follow the law
yer's advice. He himself set the exam
pie bv taking the lead in the work. and
not returning till the hay was brought in
The event seemed to Prove the wisdom of
his conduct, for the weather changed du-
ring the night; an unexpected storm
burst ov"r the valley, and the next mon.
ing il was found that the ri, er had over
flowed and cnrricd away all the hay that
had been left in the fields. The crops of
the n'ighboring farms were completely
destroyed. The success of this first ex-
pe,ience gave him such fait'' in the advice
of n lawyer, that from that day forth he
adopted it as rule of his conduct, and
became, by his order and dilig nee, one
of the richest farmers in the country.
He never forgot the service done him by
Nj. Potter de In Germonuaie. to whom
h, afterwards carried couple of his
finest fowls every year rs a token of graf.
i:ude.
