able citizens robbed and damaged, but the female

brutally outraged. The nunnery doors we're forced

AN HONEST LAWYER.

The Plainfeld Sun, in an allusion to the
will of the late Augustus Thorndike, relates
the following anecdote:
"a person whom We will not name, called
upon Mr.. Chandler Williams, then one of the
principal lawyers here, and still remembered
with respect by many, and requested him to
draft his will. He inquired and noted down
the disposition the testator wished to make of
his property. which, according to Mr.. Viii
liams' sense ofright. was exceedingly unjust
towards one of his two children. He, there
fore, demonstrated with him--but failing to
induce him to do what was right, at length
asked: We'll, you want me, then, to make your
will according to this memorandum you have
given mel? The reply was. 4 do Then fol.
lowed the rejoinder, IN be I'D if l
will; you must get some one else to do it,
Alas it was in the days when lawyers would
express themselves in improper language. but
it was one, also, in which they would not
minister toinjustice and wrong"

"a BAD RULE. ETC"

A few yearly advertisers in the Express,
contract for two squares and are willing to
pay for only two squares. but sometimes send
four, and think very strangely of our refusal
to insert more than they bargained for. Now
as it is bad rule that will not work both
ways, we propose to all such, that if they will
give us two hams of bacon, or two barrels OF
-four, when we purchase one; and ifa dry goods
merchant, win give us cloth for two coats
or silk for two dresses when we purchase and
nav for but one then all such shall haze four
squares of space. although they pay for only
two. The principle is identically the same,
and we hope those who have only viewed one
side of the question. will wipe their specs
and take O look at the Other-tstersbny Er-

the Emperor is about to accomplish his great
design Of series of gigantic arterial thorough

Twenty-one vast thoroughfares are to be cut

is estimated at $36, 100000. The government

GOOD ADVICE.
"Burleigh," the New York correspondent
Of the Boston Journal, says:
Zone of the clergymen of our city. on Sun
day last Numbered in the ears of the people
sentiments somewhat on this wise: 1.-The
bane of New York is that you have no social
life-that the passion of business swallows
up all the finer and nobler feelings of the man
indeed, the duty man owes to his family
and to his neighbor is not recognized down
town." The great master passion, like
gaming or the raging appetite for stong
drink. consumes all else. The universal
plea, Il have no time, suggests the purchase
of the needed moments for attendance on so
cial and domestic duties. Like truth, buy
and sell not" You men of New York leave
your homes at the earliest possible hour; CON
sumo the day down town immersed in bust
ness; STAY as late "a possible from your homes;
20 out too early in the morning and come
home too late at night to see your children.
whom you would hardly know should you
meet them in the street; you have no time to
instruct or guide your households; none to
cultivate kindly feeling with your neighbors;
none to visit with your families places even of
healthfulrecreation. You leave them alone
in their hotels, or boarding houses, vile You
delve at your business and add dollar to dollar,
or, what is worse, leave them under the escort
of some moustaehed vagrant Baron-barren of
morals, barren of intellect, barren of money,
you reap the reward which your neglect RI
pens. Better trade less at the expense of
your homes. Better devote more time to
YOUR children and your wives. Then YOU
shall have less domestic disgrace in our courts
connected with married life: fewer elopements
and fewer instances Of well educated daugh-
tiers in fashionable families running away
with illiterate eoaehmen and marrying
proOms."
