A PIECE OF LEGAL ADVICE.

Rennes, the ancient capitol of Britta-
nv, is a famous place of law. People
come from the extremiies of tho country
to get information and ask advice. To
visit Rennes without getting a,vice APP
pears impossible to a Breton This was
true at the latter end oe the last century,
just as it is ut present, and especially
among the country people who are timid
and cautions race.
Now it happened one day that a farm
er named Bernard, having come to Rem.
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 n good lawyer He had often
he,rd of Monsieur Potter de la Germo-
dale who was in such high repu'c, that
people believed a lawsuit gained when he
undertook their cause. The country
man enquired for his address, and pro-
ceedcd to his house in Rue St. The cli-
ents were numerous. and Bernard had to
wait some time. At length 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-
su!.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-
rencei Never has Pierre Bernard had n
word with any"
"rhenit is settlcment--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
they saw"
"Weli. is it to negotiate purchase or
a saIe?"
"oh, no; am neither ric', enough to

"Will you tell me, then, what you do
want Of me?'' said the lawyerin surprise.
"Whv, / have already told you, Mr.

client.
as 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 advan.
tage Of his opportunity.
When he reached home it was four
o'clock, the journey had fltigued him,
and he Diet ,rmined to rest himself the rp.
mainder { the day. In the nean time
the hay had been two days cut, and was
completely saved One of the work
ing men came TO ask ifjt should Lc drawn
in.
What. this evening exclaimed the
farmers wife, who had come in to NEE:
her husband. "It would be pity to
commence the work so li: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 the men idle. But
the farmers wife RE- ed that the wind
was in Al good quarter and that night
would set before their ,rk could be
completed. Bernard, who had been is
tening 10 the argument. was uncertain
which way to decide, when suddenly re-
collected that he had lawyers advice
in his pocket.
"Wuit a minute" he exclaimed; Ell
have an advice, and famous one 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 ].
The woman took the paper, and read
this line:-"Never 7ut off till to-morroao
,0hat may be done to-day.'
"rlat's it," exclaimed Bernard, struck
with sudden ray of lght--"Comc, be
quick: get the carts and away; boys and
girls. all to the hay -frld!'
His wife ven'ured few more obiec-
tons. but he declared that he hnd not
bought II thee francs opinion to make no
use of i, and he would follow the law
yer's advice. He himself set the exam
pie by 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 it was found that the ri, er hnd over
flowed and carried 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 cx-
pe'ience gave him such fait'' in the advice
of IL lawyer, that from that day forth he
adopted il 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

SING THAT SONG AGAIN TONIGHT


Oh sing that song again to night
The song of other years.
They'll bring again some past delight,
In sunshine and in tears;
They gild the gloom of present cares
They tell of joys to come;
Then sing the song of other years,
OF friendship and of home
OH sing the song we usci to sing
In youths unclouded day,
When like the birds ofearly spring,
We carrolel hours awayl
When life was like rainbow beam
Array of golden light.
A zephyr DER w,veless stream
An ocean ofdelight
Ny heart ia sad-then sing to me
The songs We lovcso well,
The pleasing thoughts they bring to me
No feeble words can tell;
But sing of pleasures and ofpaina,
In some melodious lay;
And touch the lutte to pensive strains
Iwould not have them gay
There isa pathcs in thy voice
"A sadness in thy tone,
That makes the weary heart rejoice
A sweetness all thine own.
Then sing the song we loved so well,
And sing them Der and DER;
Lever feel the magic speli
ofthose sweet songs ofyore.

Tis the night before tho bridal,
And tomorrow she must wear
The embleIns Of affection
Amid her unny hair;
But not the orange blossoms,
Nor the diamonds costly blaze,
Can give her back the brightness
OF her girhood's happy daye.
'Tis the night before the bridal
There are no sounds ofglee,
And the young ones are c!inging
Around their fathers knee;
Their smiles arc changed to sorrow,
Now the morrow is so near,
That must part them, and forever,
From their gentle sister dear.
'Tis the right before the bridal
Ah, do not chide her tears,
'Tis no slight pang to sever
From the friends Of earlier years
no leave that home forever,
When all seems bright and bless'd,
Where all was mirth and gladness,
And mothers smile caress'd.
