THE BRIEFLESs BARRISTER.
BY JOHN c. sAxE

BY JOHN Q, SAXE
An attorney was taking a turn,
In shabby habiliments drest;
His coat it was shockingly worn,
And the rust had invested his vest.
His breaches had suffered a breach,
His linen and worsted were worse
He had scarce a whole crown in his hal,
Ana not half a crown in hispurse.
And thus as he wandered along,
A cherries and comfortless elf
He sought for relief in a song,
Or complaingly talked to himself:
~Unfortunate man that ! am!
Eve never a client but grief;
The case is, Eve no case at all,
And in brief, rye meier had a brief!
sI'ye waited and waited in vain,
Expecting an opening TO find,
Where an honest young lawyer might gain
Some reward for the Toll ofhis mind.
"'Tis not that am wanting in law,
Or lack an intelligent face,
That others have cases to plead,
While ! have to plead for a case.
30, how can a modest young man
Fer hope for the smallest Progression
The professions already so full
oflawyers 50 full Of profession Y
While thus he was stroling around,
His eye accidentally fell
ona very deep hole in the ground,
And he sighed to HIMSELF sIt is wellm
To curb his emotions he sat
0nthe curb stone the space Of a minute;
Then cried, 'here's an opening at lastrs
And in less than a iihy wasin it!
Next morning twelve citizens came.
fIwasthe coroner babe them attend.l

How the man had determined his end!

A third SAID. ~He knew the deceased.
An attorney well versed in the laws,
And as TO the cause ofhis DEATH
Twas no doubt from the want Of a cause.s

AtseF solsmnly weighing The matter,
That the lawyer was drowned, because
He could not keep his head above waierp'

STATE ARMS AND CUBAN EXCEPTION -
We all remember, how, when the Cuban
Expedition failed, the enemies of Governor
Quitman. the present submission prints and
submissionists, were bold in their atowal
that he had permitted the State arms to be
used by the hberators, In accordance with
the preposterous suspicion, a resolution pass
ed the Senate, the other day, asking the
Governor, if any arms had been taken from
the State, and where and for what purpose.
We take from the proceedings of the House,
as follows:
A message of the Governor was received
by his secretary relative to the public arms.
Mr.. Sharkey said that as the mover of the
resolution, calling for information with re.
gard to the state arms, the message was sat
lsfactory TO him, and he presumes to the
Senate that ne had been actuated by mo-
tives Of friendship to the Governor in caus.
ing that subject to come before the legisla.
ture.

ments wese laid onthe table. !.
