Legal Advice.

A gentleman ordered a suit of clothes
from tailor, and specially enjoined him
that they must be made by the next
Tuesday, and that they must be made in
The latest style, and that, unless the tailor

yond per-adventure, to the day, be

clothes, the enraged gentleman flew to
the cabbage mans house and said:
What's the reason that my clothes
were not ready as promised Here you
have kept me in this city, at loss of
time and business only to be disappointed
by you; now, if We had you in our part
OF the country, ltell you what they would
call yon, they would call you perfect
squirt"
The knight of the goose explained that
the only competent workman he had, ca
pable oi making the suit, had wife Iy-
ing at deaths door, and he could not DOS
sibly leave her.
The outraged gentleman was not able
to smother his disappointment, and bera.
ted the tailor soundly for failing in his
positive promise.
The ninth fraction of the genxs homo.
could not stand this, and plainly told his
customer to go to the caloric regions Of
Pandemonium.
The customer, red with rage, rushed
across the street to lawyer; and, in

OF HIN.
The following description and ahec-
dotes of Mr.. Choate, recently deceased,
are frem an article published in Putman's
Monthly, tor April, 1866:
"Mr. Choate is a great actor, an artist
of the first rate; but an actor after all
We rather think, from the piles of written
sheets behind which he rises to address a
Jury, and which disappear one by one as
the speech rolls on, that every word of
the eloquent and impassioued argument
| is all there, cut and dried.
We heard Webster once, in sentence
and look, crush an hours argument of
the curious workman; it was most intel
lectually wire-drawn and hairsplitting
with Grecian sophistry, and a subtlety
the Leoniine Georgias might have envied.
1t was about two car-wheels, which, to
common eyes, looked as like as two eggs;
but Mr.. Choate, by fine line of argu-
ment between tweedle-dum and tweedle-
dee, and discourse on "the fxation of
points," SO deep and fine as to be lost in
obscurity, showed the Jury that there
was Heaven-wide difference between
them. "But," said Mr.. Webster, and
his great eyes opened wide and black as
he stared at the big twin wheels before
him, gentlemen of the Jury, there they
are-look at 'em!" and as he pronounced
this answer in tones OF vast volume, the
distorted wheels seemed to shrink back
again into their original similarity, and
the long argumen. on "fxation of points"
died a natural death. It was an exam
ple Of the ascendency of mere character
over mere intellectuality, but so much
greater, nevertheless, the intellectually.
How often have we seen the opposite
counsel in a case, utterly puzzled and
baffled by the strange way in which Cho-
ate seemedto be putting the facts to the
Jury, and interrupting him again and
again in vain, met and foiled every time
by the reply, do / misstate the facts I
| I'm only arguing upon them !'--and the
discounted interrupter would sink back

THE MIDNIGHT REVIEW.

I'VE find in the New York Budget, the old and
,orrect version of tins celebrated poem. A very
Inferior translation is now going the rounds.
At midnight, from his grave,
The drummer woke, and rose.
And beating loud the drum,
Forth Oh his round he goes.
Stirred by his bony arms,
The drum-sticks patty fall;
He beats the loud retreat,
Reyeille aud roil-call.
So strangely rolls that drum.
So deep it echoes round,
Old soldiers, in their graves,
To life start ut the sound.
Bothfthey in farthesi north,
Stiff in the ice that la!,
And woo, too warm, rcp,se
Beneath Italian clay.
Below the mud Of Nile
Aud meath Arabian sand,
Their burial place they quit,
And soon to arms they stand
And at midnight, from his grave,
The trpmpeter arose;
And, mounted on bis here,
A loud, sbr blast he blows.
On airy coursers then
The cavalry are seen;
Old squadrons, erst renowned
Cory and gashed, ween.
Meath their casques their blauched skulls
". Smile grim, and proud their air,
AS in their bony han IS,
Their long sharp swords they bear
And at midnight, from his tomb
The chief awoke and rose
And followed by his staff,
With slow steps, on he gees.
A little hat he wears,
A coat quite plain has he,
little sword, for arms,
At his left side hangs free.
Der the vast plain the neon
A pay hsre threw:
The man with the little hat
The troups gees To review.
The ranks D csent their arms,
Deep rolls the drum, the while
Recovering then, the troops
Bei, re the Chief defle.
Captains and generals round
In eirlcd form appearl
The Chief to the first word
Then whispers in lis ear.
The word goee round 'ht rahk.,

Noble Sentiments.

ibis is an agreeable world after all.
If We would only bring ourselves to look
at The subjects that surround us in their
true light, we should see beauty where
we beheld deformity, and listen to har.
mony where we heard nothing but dis.
cord. To be sure, there is great deal
Of veHaiion and anxiety to meet, we can.
mol sail ON summer coast forever; vet
1t we preserve calm eye and steady
hand, we can SO trim our sails and man
age our helm, as to avoid the qnicksands,
and weather the storms that threaten
shipwreck. We are members Of one
great family; we are travelling the same
road, and shall arrive at the same goal.
We breathe the same air, are subject to
the same beauty, and shall lie down upon
the bosom of our common mother. 1t is
unbecoming, then, that brother should
hate brothers. it is not proper that friend
should deceiv. friend it is not right that
neighbor should deceive neighbor
We pity that man who can harbor en-.
nifty against bis fellow be loses half the
enjoyment of life; embitters his own ex.
istence. Let us tear from your eyes the
colored medium that invests every object
wl'li the green hue of jealousy and sus-
piclon; turn a deaf ear to scandal
