Lawyers and the Sabbath.

In his lecture on the Study and Practice
OF Law, Professor Emory Washburn givss
the following advice in regard to the
Bible and the Observance of he Sabbath ::
Where so many regard the Bible as a d.
vine revelation, It's orse than Jolly for one
who he's any desire to share the respect of
others for bis prudence, or sense Of propri
ETY., TO indulge in sneering criticisms upon
its authenticity, or the truths it reveals.
And | hesitate not in going further to say
that, If he wishes to cultivate familiarity
with the best and most effective form of
the English language, or to store his mind
with the most sublime conceptions and
noble thoughts such as have never been
surpassed for grandeur, beauty or magnifi-
cence, he should make the Bible study
for the models and examples of which it is
full. Nor can he studoky any DO which
will so we'll teach HIM as this how to sway
the judgment and control the wills of
other men, by the insight it gives into the
laws of human nature, and the motives of
the hum an heart And as for the law it.
self, in no other book can he fad so many
of the elements of what he brings daily
into play in the business by which he earns
his livelihood. Another thing to be re.
garded in this connection is the frequent
and regular periods OF rest which are inoc.
ulated in the book to which l have just
referred. / do not believe that law
yer can work, with the life and vigor
which justice to himself demands, more
than six out Of seven days, for a2y con-
siderable length Of time, without endan-
gering if not actually impairing his capaci-
ty to work. There are sad spectacles in
every business around us, of fine intel
lects paralyzed or Frustrated by over-tax-
alton of the brain, enough to warn
young man as to the manner in which he
should treat that delicate and sensitive
organ. The bow kept always bent at last
loses its power of tension; and the mind
like the body, by a continuous strain, ex-
hausts the quick and vital energy which
vigorous health gives to the system. Such
being the law under which we are created,
it is worse than folly to disregard it. The
young must have his hours of sleep and
his hours of relaxation, or he will pay for
cheating himself of these by the forced
rest from labor which nature will impose
upon him when he can least afford it.
Whatever therefore, may be the specula-
tive notions Of lawyer as to the higher
obligation to observe the Christian
Sabbath, there is enough in the need of
such relaxation from his labors, and a
decent respect to the opinions of others to
suggest the wisdom Of substituting some
thing else than law as mental occupation
for at lea.t one day in the week"

But one man followed him as he
was led through the. gate on the

was old John Harper. He toddled
along behind his idol, leaning heav-

Disturbances North and South.

Referring to the recent riot in o.
densburg, New York, by which the
efforts of strolliny lecturer to deliv
or an auti.Catholic illumination wcrt
sought to be prevented, the New York
Journal Of Commerce, one Of the ablcst
rs it is certainly the most judicious
and fair-minded Of all tho Northern
papers, makes the following >truo and
incisive observations:
Had a trouble Of an equally seri
Gus aspect happened at tho South
arising not out of religious or sccta
rian differences but from political
causes, men, like Speaker Blaine
would lay the whole blame on the ku
kIux, and demand that President
Grant send bayonets down there. II
would be exactly as appropriate tc
call upon him to interfere at Ogdcns
burg, and his Interference is as much
needed there rs at the South.
Since we should regard the appear
ance' of Federal troops at Ogdens
burg, to settle q religious feud, as u
wanton insult to the dignity Of tn.
State, VIC are also, by the same pro
cess OF reasoning, constrained to look
upon all force Acts relating to the
south as impertinent and unnecessary
medIling in the concerns Of that part
Of the country. 10 appreciate no &
Southerners feel about it, we have on
ly to imagine our own thoughts il

yesterday, gives interesting particu-
lars OF the visit of General Sheridan
to Ireland, and the royal manner in
which he and his associates were ev-
rywhere entertained. At Belfast the
reception, although informal, was
hearty and hospltable, the town au-
thorities aud the private residents
vieing with each other IN their ct.
forts to entertain the American off
GERS. The respect which foreigners
have tor the prowess OF the United
States and the bravery Of her soldiers,
promoted the kindly feeling with
which Sheridan was greeted, al
though part of it is doubtless owing
to the fact that Sheridan's father was
a native Of County Caven.
