- The following is the advice Of
an examining judge to a young lawyer
on admission: ''Sir it would be idle to
trouble you further You are perfect;
and l will dismiss you with few words
of advice which you will do very well
to follow. You VIII find it lald down
as maxim Of civil law, never to kiss
the maid when you can kiss the mis-
tress. Carry out this principle, sir, and
you are safe. Never say boo to a goose
when she has power to lay golden eggs
Let your face be long-your face longer
Never put your hand into your own
pocket when any body else's is handy.
Keep your conscience Tor your own
private use, and don't trouble it with
mems matters. Plaster the Judge, and
butter the jury. Look as wise as an
owl, and be as oracuIar as a town clock
But above ALI, get money, honestly if
you can, my dear sir; but get money. 1
welcome you to the bar"

ALL SORTS OF MNDs.-There is a
strong disposition in men Of opposite
minds to despise each other. "A grave
man can not conceive what is the use
of wit in society; person who takes
a strong common sense view Of the sub
iect, is for pushing out by the head
and shoulders an ingenious theorist,
who catches at the slightest and faint
est analogies; and another man, who
scents the ridiculous from afar.will hold
no commerce with him who tests ex-
quisitly the fine feeling of the heart,
and is alive to nothing else; whereas
talent is talent, and mind is mind, in all
its branchesl
Wit gives to life one Of it's best flaw
ors; common sense leads to Immediate
action, and gives to society its daily mo
ton, large and comprehensive views
it's annual rotation; ridicule chastises,
folly and impudence, and keeps men i'm
their proper sphere; subtlety seizes hold
of the fine threads of truth; analogy
darts away in the most sublime discov-
cries; feeling paints all the exquisite
passions of mans soul, and rewards him
BY thousand inward invitations for
the sorrows that come from without.
God made all good. We must despise

Mr.. Hunters Bill.

The Talley Democrat SAYS: The Graduation
Bill Of Senator Hunter has passed the Senate by
a vote of SO to IL. This bill"is a substitute for
the free farm or Homestead bill. and graduates
the price OF the public lands from one dollar down
TO weve and half cents, according 10 the period
of entry. We are free TO confess arc not re-
markably well pleased with this bill, but regard
it decidedly preferable to the Ubiquitous home
stead measure. 1t will perhaps settle the disturb
ing question of the disposition OF the public lands.
and remove from Congress cause of consider
able discord and mischief. The grabbing game
has lately been resorted to in regard to the public
lands, and disposition manifested TO appropriate
them for local purposes, instead Of holding them
as security for our national debt and source Of
revenue to the government, and it was absolutely
indispensable that measures should be adopted to
stop the squandering Of the public domain, and
the corrupt log. rolling system among members Of
Congress. This bill will have that result, and al
though we do not subscribe to all its features vet
at this particular juncure it IS the best we can
