How THE LAWYERS DIFrER.-The folio
wing anecdote Of legal gentleman in Mis-
souri, was compiled many years ago from u
ae~spal er OF that State. There is a racy
freshness about il that is quite delightful:
Being ouce opposed to Mr. s., bro
ther lawyer, thon lately a member of Con-
gress, he remarked as follows to the Jury,
about some point Of disagreement between
them:
"Here my brother s. and differ mate
rally. Now this, after all, is very natural
Men seldom see things in the same light; and
they may disagree in the principles of the law,
and that too, very honestly; while, at the
same time, neither, perhaps, can conceive any
earthly reason why they should. And this ia
merely because they look at different sides
of the subject, and do not view it in all its
bearings.
"Now let US suppose for tn suke Of illus.
tration, that a man should come, into thi:
room, and boldly assert that my fro,her S.'s
head, (here he laid his hand very fumilary
upon the large chuckle head of his opponent,
is a SQUASH, I, on the other hsnd, shoulc
mainluin, and perhaps with equal confidence
that it was head. Now there would be the
difference-of opinion. We nigh, srgue
til doomsday, and never agree. You often
sre men arguing upon subjects just as empty
and trifing as this. But third person CON-
ing in and looking at the neck and should
els that support it, would say at once that
hod reason on my side; for if it was head
it at least occupied the place Of one--it stood
where a head ought to be!''
All this was uttered in the gravest and
most solemn manner imaginable, and the ef'
feet was irresistibly ludicrous.
