MISCELLANEOUS.
For Judges aud Lawyers.

For Judges and Lawyers.
1.-The English Judges have recently
decided at Westminster, that it is prin-
ciple of common law, that counselor,
in questioning witness, should address
him in ordinary tones, and in language
of respect, such rs is employed by one
gentleman, in conversation with anoth-
er; also, that no lawyer has the right
to question the private business, or NOR
al character of witness, any further
than it is apparent they actually affect
his reliability, or touch the case in hand,
and that witness is not bound to ans
wer questions put to him in an insult
ing or annoying manner. If forced to
answer bv the court, he will have his
remedy in an action for damages. -
This is most righteous decision.--
Witnesses are ordinarily forced into
court by legal process, at the will or
caprice of others; and generally they
experience insult, abuse, and unneces-
sary annoyance at the hands of attorneys
and counselors. Such treatment of
witness, is immoral. and cannot there
fore be legal. If there is any solemnity
in the oath administered to witness,
there is solemnity in the position he oc.
cupies upon the stand, and every moral
man, and gentleman, on the bench, at
the bar, in the jury-box, or elsewhere,
will respect it. It matters not how
high minded, candid, and reliable wit
ness may be, nor how sensitive to insult,
it is the case with too many of our law
yers that his appearance on the stand is
regarded as a license TO insult, tr'fe
with, and annoy him at pleasure. Such
conduct is mean and dastardly in the
extreme, and our Judges have been very
much to blame for permitting it. 1t il
the duty of the Judge to show his res.
pect for the position Of witness, by
extending to him judicial protection
against such professional impudence
and abuse, and a prompt and stern dis
charge of this duty. would work in our
courts of law the reformation of a prev
slent and enormous evil. Let this de-
rision of the English Judge be the com.
inencement Of reform in the matter.
Our remarks are inteaded for general
application. They have no particular
reference to the members of the pro.
fession in this city. We believe they
would compare favorably with those Of
sny other city.--Ez.

Better Than Them All.
A moderate share Of wealth is good
To cheer us on our way,
For it has oftcntimes the power
To make December, May;
And SO is beauty, so is health,
Or genius at our call
But happy, careless, loving heart.
Is better than them all.
A heart that gathers hope and faith
From every springing flower,
That smiles alike at winter storm
And gentle summer shower;
That blesses God for every good,
Or whether great or small;
oh! happy, hopeful, loving heart,
Is better than them all.
IT'S we'll to hold the wand Of power,
Or wear an honored name,
And blush to hear the mighty world
Re-echo with our fame;
IT'S we'll if on our path the smiles
OF Kings and Mobiles fall
But to have happy, trusting heart,
Is better than them all.
A heart that with the magic notes
or music Is beguiled;
A heart that loves the pleasant face
OF every little child;
That aideth weakness in distress,
And heareth duty's call
Oh! such loving, human. heart,
Is better than them all.

The grass IL green, and the moeess creep
All over the bank SO high and steep;

On the towering pine trees by their side
The willows dip their branches slim,
into the sparkling waters brim;
And the shells and stones museum male,
Upon the edge Of the Silver Lake.

And plumes its wings and its golden breast;
The robin carols Its notes 20 wild,
Over the waters 30 still aud mild,
And wakes the ash from their drowsy alesp.

And son, low sounds sweet echoes wake,
Around the shore Of the Silver Lake.

Where the shadows Lie 20 cool and damp,
And saw in the waters childish face,
Where glee and meriment kept their place.
And beside 1t another face was seen,
And twinkling eyes looked sauciy In,
And mouth did many grimaces make
Upon the breast Of the Silver Lake.
The bright curls looked 20 thick and dark
Az their shadow was caught by passing bark;

And echoed among the forest trees,
And shout on shout did the silence break
Al our bark shot over the Silver Lake.
Twas Charles voice so sweet and clear,
That trelnbled on my listening ear,
Al the oars dipped timefully into the waves
And he sang the song Of the fallen braves.
Twas Charles laugh upon the air,
Twas Charles face reflected there,
Twas he that made my young heart wake,
As We swept over the Silver Lake.
An older face, with soberer hue
Now looks at me from the waters blue;
The traces Of sorrow are wildly seen,
BY eyes that are anxious the truth to screen.
The other face, with its wiles SO dear,
And those slken curls-they are not here,
And only the wind does ripple make
Ger the placid brow Of the Silver Lake.

And tear drops on the waters crest,
Long years ago, voice was drowned

And the waves dash over his sunny hair,
And o /! it seems that my heart will break,
As gaze down into the Silver Lake.

Mind How You talk.

On account of other urgent engage
ments, Gen. Lane was unable to fill his
appointments at Iowa Point and High
land, On last Saturday. On Sunday, a
stranger was travelling towards the Point,
from the South, and overlook a farmer,
who happened to be a strong Pro- Slavery
man. The stranger inquired of him If
he was on the right road to Iowa Point;
and on being answered in the affirmative,
he then asked if there had been a Free
State meeting there the day before, what
speakers were present, and what kind of
an attendance it had. The farmer told
him that large crowd had gathered
there to hear Jim Lane speak, but he dis
appointed them-adding, rather emphati
cally, that he " believed the id scoun-
drel was afraid to Gomez" He then expa-
tiated extensively upon the sins and ras-
cality of Jim Lane, with which his hear
er seemed to be greatly entertained. Ar
irving in town, they stopped at the tavern,
where the stranger was Immediately sur
rounded by a crowd, who greeted him
warmly. The farmer inquired who that
man was, that was making such a stir.
"Why, it is Gen. Lane,o was the reply.
By God! exclaimed the farmer, he's
the very man that l was cursing Lane to,
for the last hour b He did not make
himself very conspicuous, during the re-
mainder of his stay in town, that day =
