a certain lawyer in this city is noted for
his promptitude in demanding payment OF
his fees, his lack Of faith in human honesty
leading him to suspect that everybody is de-
termined to cheat.-hiS plan is the same
that newspapers are often compelled to
adopt-to collect subscriptions in advance.
lie considers that if he is unable to get his
own fees before the action Is commenced,
he will prove hardly competent to gain his
clients cause afterwards.
A short time ago, gentleman in the tail
oring line called on him and informed him
that he wished to hold short consultation
with him, respecting suit which he was
about to commence.
"My fe. will be five dollars for consul
tation."
NV hat ~ exclaimed the man of cloth.
Five dollars, if you please-and gene
rally take the fee in advance" and he reach
ed out his hand for the expected fee.
NO you DON'T" said the tailor, making
his way toward the door "you can't play
that Off on me-"
There's nothing wrong or unprofession-
al about it," said the lawyer with severity.
81 can't help that-get your five dollars
out of the other party"
"No, thatli never do. Never heard of
such a proceeding
"Well then, I'm blowed If l don't aban
don the suit, and you may get some one else
to make it."
"What suit are you thinking about!"
asked the mystified lawyer.
"Why the suit Of clothes you won Of Jim
- on the election. came to consult
YOU about the color, and shan't pay no
five dollars for advice. by blandid sight!"
"Oh UNI! That's different case.

E>tiIctics of Dress.

! Ne have plenty OF fiippant denunciations
/ OF tine clothes, and abundance Of grave an
J imadyersions on the sin and folly of extrava-
gance in apparel but scarcely an essay can
/ be found touching the aesthetics and morale
! OF dress, as constituting a study worthy to
! be ranked the fine arts, not less than ar
/ chltecture, music, or sculpture. 1t was an
| observation Of Lavater that persons habitu-
ally attentive to dress display the same recu-
larity in their domestic affairs Young
! womea, says he, ''who neglect their toilets,
! and manifest little concern about their ap-
/ parcl, indicate III this very particular a dis
regard of order; mind but little adapted
to the details of hous keeping; deficiency
Of taste and OF the qualities that inspire
| love- The girl Of eighteen who desires not
. to please will be shrew and slut at TWEEN
! ty-ive.' 1t Is great mistake in women to
! suppose that they may safely throw all care
about dress with their celibacv. as If hus-
/ bands had less taste than suitors: or as If
/ wives had less need than mistresses Of the
/ advantage Of elegant and tasteful apparel
An old writer says, with hearty emphasis:
1T IS one Of the moral duties Of every mar
ri woman always TO appear well dressed
in the presence OF her husband" To effect
; TINS, however, expensive attire is by no means
essential. The simplest robe may eyince the
wearers taste as truly as the most costly
g,@a of .Ilcars ,sBtiytl-. Dgt how. rare a
quality is good tastel In the mere matter
Of propriety and harmony Of colorS there is
room for a treatise which has been written
by some one thoroughly proficient in the
aesthetics of dress. Even the simpler laws,
though pretty generally understood, are con-
stantly neglected. Some of these canons as
laid down in an English poem of the las,
century are worth quoting, as well for the
good sense Of the dOgmas as for the quaint
ness of the verses. To brunettes he recon-
mends high coors-"rose," " orange" or
even scarlet, thus:
Tie lass whose skin is like the hazel brown,
With brighter celUrs should o'ercome her o~n.
To rosy cheek girls he permits blue"
ard the color of the sea-
let the fair nynTh in whose pluIap cheek is seen
rosy blush be clad in cheerful green"
Cautionng pale women against vernal
hucs, he continues
:" Ladies grown pale with sickness despair
The sable's mournful dye should choose to wear;
50 the pale moon still shines with purest light
Clad in the dusty mantle Of the night"

IRISH MErHoDIsM-In the London Watch
man of June Oath, we noticed that the COM
mittees, preparatory to the session Of the
Irish Conference, had been in session for
several days; and in the number fer July
1st, appear sketches of the proceedings Of
the conference.
From the former we learn that another
year of prosperity has been vouchsafed to
the Society-that though 435 members had
emigratcd, an increase in numbers is report
ed to the amount of 345; and an increase
of correctional funds had taken place.
The reports read at tine meeting of the
missionary committee were of the most
gratifying character; thousands had heard
the gospel from the lips Of the missionary,
who would not have heard it in the ordinary
way. Several chapels had been built, and
others enlarged.

| said / ''but | will not stanc about it. tho
you arc making smart bargain out Of me.
| " At this instant the door opened and the
lady stepped ont upon the door step. She
| gave an exclamation Of pleased surprise,
and rushing up to the horse nearest to her
commenced carressing him, saying
Poor, dear Browny, how do you do I?
Do you know your mistress, Browny?"
The horse whinnered, held down his
head, and gave all the Signs of recognition.
What does this mean. Jane?" asked the
good man, samewhat surprised.
"Why, my dear" replied she, joyfuily,
"this is mothers good old Browny, two
days older than am; we were brought up
together. Mother told me the other day
that she had sold the span for hundred
dollars.
81 think upon the WHOLE" said the good
man, with some severity in his tone. "that
will not have them. | am sorry that you
have been to SO much trouble, and their
history, as given by your friend, bas been
amusing. Good afternoon, gentlemen.
"Well, Tom," said Brown, as we drove
away. "what will you take for the span
now?"
81 made him no answer, and spirit of
cruelty actuated ne to lay on the string
most strenuously all the way home, as tho
the horses were the conscious cause Of all
my trouble.
81 don't know" he continued, "but you
will think me bad fellow for all this. but
if ever deyout Catholic suffering in expa-
tiation Of sin, | suffered for my offence, and
| would enioIn upon all my young friends
to beware of falling into the awful sin Of
lying, and to meyer get into the horse trade
if they can avoid It,"
"But what became Of the horses!" asked
one of the most interested.
"Sold them for one hundred and fifty
dollars, and paid old Pheme seventy five
dollars for brushing Of them up. Oh, it
was terrible bad speculation.
Tom finished his story, and kicke his
heels pensively against the end of the box
on which he sat, while the tobacco smoke
curled up in gentle clouds from the corner
of his mouth.

SPIRrTuALIsN-REvoLr DOCTRINES AND
BLAsPHENY-FREE LovE.-The spiritualists
OF Ohio held convention at Ravcnna, in
that state, on the 4th and 9th inst Sunday
was the great day, and the speakers were
numerous. We quote from the local paper |:
Mr.. Kellogg, of Newton Falls, was ex-
ceedlngly desirous to have il understood that
he believed nothing in the Bible; that il was
a lie, and that only knaves and fools would
pay any attention to its commands. He be-
lieved reason and intelligence to be supreme
and was emphatically higher law man. He
said that if "Jesus Christ were on earth and
should utter anything contrary to his views
Of right he would not believe him any SOON
er than if the devil had said the same thing"
One of the speakers said he "would not ex.
change places with st. Paul, if he would
give him heaven to boot" a Mr.. Robinson
said that he "could live just as well without
God as God could without him. lie didnv
thank God for anything"
At the close Of the discussion on spiritual.
ism, the subject of free love was introduced:
Mrs. Coan protested at length against the
incorporation of that doctrine into the spirit.
ual organization, and said that the Lord cre-
ated one man for one woman, and one wo-
nc" IVA oAS AA'""S shae tASJ live nap
PLY together, and concluded her remarks by
saying, that if such was part and parcel Of
spirituaism, she wished to renounce it i'm
mediately.
Mrs. Lewis, of Cleveland, replied to her,
by saying that she was in favor of universal
freedom, and that loving whomsoever she
chose was part of that freedom, and to
confine her to love one man was an abridge-
ment Of her rights. She said, that "altho'
she had one husband in Cleveland, she con-
sidered herself married to the tchOle human
race. All men meye her husbands, and shs
had an undying lore for them" She said
also. "acsat b,1si1sss is it TO tile uorld nhetAsr
one man is tile .t;lther Of my children or ten
msa. are, have the right to say who shall
be the father Of my offspring"
There seemed to be contrariety of fopinion
on the subject, many rejecting the doctrine
as loathsome and others approving Of it.
