good one . as having transpired re-
cen:ly in their County Court:
After the business of the court was
over, and while the bench and bar

H., wag, applied for license to plead
and practice law in the County Court.
In order to humor the joke, the Court
appointed j "A. Turner to examine
the candidate for license. zgn.1. i., ~. y
Quoth Turner to Applicant, with
great dignity and gravity What is
the first requisite for being good
lawyer? 'han3 ia .f.s.nrHi = 7rsei F.
:" To, be a did rascal, was FL. s
ready response, followed by great
ledghter, the, spectators evidently
thinking Turner was " done for.' SIS
But Turner arose with dignity, and
addressing the court, said: 8 May it
please1the court:I deem it unneces-
sary to prolong this examination. DR..
III. has said that the first requisite to
make a good lawyer, is to be id
rascal0 / pronounce the Doctor fully
qualified, and move, that he be en-
srolled as an attorney Of this court"
When Gregory went to Texas, he

The Dying Mozi,t.

Wolfgang Mozart, the great Ger
man composer, died at Vienna, in
the year 1891. There is something
beautiful and touching in the circum.
stances of his death. His sweetest
song was the last he sung-The Re-
quium. He had been employed upon
this exquisite piece for several weeks
his soul filed with inspiration of the
richest melody, and already claiming
kindred with immortality. After
giving il its last touch, and breathing
into it that undying spirit of song
which was to consecrate it through
all time, as his "stygcan strain" be
fell into quiet and peaceful slum-
ber. AT length the light footsteps of
his daughter Emile awoke him.
"Come hither, my Emilie," said he,
"my task is done-the Reqeium--
my Requiem is finished"
"Say not so, dear father" said the
gentle girly, interrupting him, as
tears stood in her eyes. You must
he better--you look better, for even
now your cheek has a glow upon it
Il am sure we will nurse you well
again--let me bring you something"
DO not deceive yourself, my love" y"
said the dying father; "ths wasted
form can never be restored by human
aid. From Heavens mercy alone
do l look for aid, in this, my dying
hour. You spoke of refreshments,
my Emilie-take these, my last notes
sit down to my piano hero-sing
with them the hymn of your sainted
mother--lct me once more hear those
tones which have been so long my SO
lace and delight" Emile obeyed,
