ROMAN LAWYERS AND TuKIR FEEs.-At
first the Roman pleadors received no remun.
Grafton beyond the services which every eli
cnt owed to his patron. Subsequently, when
law had become difficult science, II became
the practice.for clients to reward their advo.
Gates by making them presents, which ito
evade the Cincian law passed to prevent this)
were often disguised as secret loans. Before
the fall of the republic these fees equalcd in
magnitude the largest fees known in modern
times. Even Cicero, who was regarded rs q
model of disinterestcdncss, is said to have
received from Publius Sylla about $40 900
rs fee for his forensic services. In modern
times many large fortunes have been made
at the bar, but We imagine none to be com.
pared with that of NJ. Licinins Crassus,
whose fortune il said to have exceeded fifteen
million dollars. One mode Of rewarding nd.
vocatcs by legacies left to them by their cli-
ents appears to have been source of consld.
cradle profit. ..and-was esteemed highly hon.
orable to the lcgatec. Cicero boasted that in
this way he had received twenty millions OF
sesterccs, more than SSO0,OO0. We fear
that the clients in our days arc not so liberal
in their last wills and testaments.
In fact, during tho best days Of Rome sue.
cess ut tho bar was the surest introduction to
popularity, distinction and political power.
No wonder, then, that tho art OF forensic
speaking was greatly cultivated, and with so
much success. Probably noase has produced
band Of more eloquent men than Cicero
and his co:emporarics of the Roman bar.
Nor were the barristcrs Of Rome distin-
guished only for oratory. Many of them
were men Of enlarged erudition. of literary
taste. and OF varied requirements. Varro,
"the most learned oi the Romans" Quinc-
lillian, Suetonius, Pliny, and Tacitus were
all advocates; and the volumes Of Cicero
still bear testimony to his versatility and
power in almost every department Of ltera-
tuIe.
Under the cmpcrors fhc cloquenco Of the
Roman bar greatly declined, US all that is
manly and great must decline and wither
with the loss of freedom. Moreover, the
treatment of the bar was not always such Us
to encourage much mental visor. Lord
Mackenzie relates that ono day Gallicus was
pleading before the Emperor Claudius near
the banks of the Tiber, when the advocate,
having irritated tho emperor, was by his or.
dcrs thrown into the river. Some days after
a client of Gallicus brought his case to Aler,
the most celebrated advocate Of tho age, and
requested him to plead it before tho emperor.
"Who told you," said Afer. "that ] WIS u
better swimmer than Gallicus?"-Briish

Consolation for the Lonely "oshoi'
on THE DEATH or JAMES r. :. RoRERfs, OF CO. L,
l5fH MAINE REGIMENT.
There a land where beauty cannot fade,
Nor SORROWS dim the eyes
Where true love shall not droop, nor be dsmayed,
And none shall ever die
Where is that land, o, where:
For would hasten there!
Tell mel fain would go,
For am welred with heavy wee,
The beautiful have left me all alone;
The true, the tcnder, from my path are gone
o, guide me with thy hard
II thoa dost know that land,
For am burdened with oppressive care,
And am weak and fearful with despair
Where is itg tell me whore
Mother, thou must trast in Him who trod before
The desolate paths OF life;
Must bear in meekuess, ss he meeEly bore,
Sorrow, and paio, and strife!
Think how the Son Of God,
These thorny paths hath trod
Think how He longed 20 go,
Yet ta-ried out for thee the appointed woe;
Think Of His WEAKNESS in places DIM
When no man cemforted cared for Him.
Think of the blood like sweat,
With which His brow was wet
Yet how lie prayed, unaided and alone.
la that great agony, "rhy will be donei"
Mother, do not thou despair
Christ, from His heaven of heavens, will hear
thy prayer! X. A. NJ.
