DIAxoND Ger DIANoNp-A Quaker having
lost a quarter Of mutton by a lawyers dog
repaired to the Office Of the lawyer, and said
have come to ask piece of thy advice.
Suppose dog should carry off leg of mutton
from me, where do | look for pay, to the dog
or his owner ?"
"O," said the man of the quill, "to the
owner of the dog; he is responsible for any
damage he does to you"
Said Broadbrim Thee owes me seventy
five cents"
"Ah," said the lawyer, then my dog did
the mischief Well here is the money"
The face of the Quaker expanded with a
smile at his shrewdness in forestalling the
opinion of the lawyer, and he was making
exit from the office when he was brought to a
halt by the lawyer saying:
"I have small bill against you my friend"
/" And for what? ?" said the Quaker.
4" For advice in the dog case--two dollars" "
was the reply.
This was poser. 1t being strictly legal,
and the lowest fee in the calendar for advice,
there was no dodgng, so the money was fork
ed over and the Quaker departed, a wiser if
not Il better man.

4 thousand ties concur TO bind sisters to-
gether. There is, in the irst place, natu-
raj affection in the human heart, implanted
there to correspond to that relation, aud thus
unite those in attachment who have been
borne on the same bosom, aud grown up
around the same hearth. Besides this in
stinotive affection, they naturally become at
tachcd from sympathy, from sharing the same
Joys and sorrows, and loving the same objects.
The same events for years have filed them
with gladness, and often have they mingled
their tears at the. same calamities. Their in
iercsts have been the same, and even their
childish plays, the source to them of infinite
delight, have made closer the tie which draws
their hearts together. Sisters, blossoms on
the same stem what should ever sever them
Stars shining in the same constellation, why
should they not mingle their mild radience in
peace2 II there be in their hearts any ca
pacity for attachments, how can their COM
mon tasks, their common pleasures, their per-
petual society, fail Of uniting them in the
most intimate afiection2 If they have any
literary ambition, any desire for intellectual
improvement, they may minister endlessly to
each others pleasures and progress. If they
would add to literary accomplishment, the
charm of graceful and winning manners, whose
eye so quick as that of u sister to administer
friendly criticism and admonition7 | coun-
sci them to use well that portion Of life which
they pass under thesame root, TO cement the
bond of natural Affection for the time will
come when they will probably need it all.
For as fountains, which rise upon the same
mountain top, diverge and run in opposite di-
rections, traverse plains as different as tropi-
cal abundance and polar sterility, and finally
Join the great ocean, one under the burning
line and the other in the midst of perpetual
SHOWS, so sisters rocked in the same cradle,
watched over by the same maternal solicitude,
walking hand in hand the same paths Of edu-
cation and accomplishment may be destined
by events over which they have no control to
} a lot as widely contrasted as can possibly be
conceived Equality Of conditions they can.
not hope. How shall they resist the inhuen-
/ ces which tend to divide their hearts as well
as their fortunes? The best security for last
, ing attachment and for happy intercourse
through life is the assduous cultivation, so
t long as they are together, of kindness, for
bearance, generosity. 1t is a mistake to sup
/ pose that the natural affections need no culti-
vation. They are, from the nature of things,
subjected to the same laws with any other at
tachment. The natural relations are only
the foundation for attachments. But unfaith-
fulness to the social relations gradually weak.
, ems the strongest natural ties, and sisters even
who have done nothing but cross and render
! each other uncomfortable, will seek their
: friendships any where rather than with thos,
I in whom they find neither sympathy nor con
sideration
