fession who are not lawyers. One
may be familiar with law books
may practice law, and may even act
as Judge, and still not be a lawyer.
An eminent lawyer was once asked
which one of several candidates
would make the best judge. He re-
piled: II don't know, but III make an
affidavit that there isn't one of them
who ever understood any legal pTin-
chile in his life" He meant to state
a fact; not to be guilty of an exag-
geration. With ordinary mechanical
talent, one may follow law as a trade,
with a fair measure of apparent sue
cess. With a natural taste for .juris-
prudence as the science of human
affairs, he may, by prodigious labor
and the blessing of Providence, be-
come an eminent lawyer. The gift
of eloquence is as dangerous to a
lawyer as that of beauty to awoman.
It tempts its p~ossessor to build his
house upon the sand Of mere accom-
plisllment, instead of the enduring
rock of an informed and cultivated
Judgment. But as great worth and
equal beauty are sometimes found
combined in the same person, SO also
are brilliant eloquence and equal i'll
tellectual power. The highest type
oflawyer must be, inthe trnest sense,
a christian gentleman. How shall
he understand the spirit Of the law,
if he learn it not at the feet of the
supreme Lawgiver? How shall he
advise the tribunals of justice, if he
learn not wisdom Of Him who alone
is lust? How shall he counsel con-
cession toavoid controversy, if he be
not taught by the divine Councillor,
who is the prince of peace? Such a
lawyer thrives, not on the misfor-
tunes but on the prosperity Of his
fellow-men. His fortune increases
with their success. They rely upon
his Judgment with confidence, and
on his fidelity with fear. Officers of
the judicial courts, c%ounselOrs evenof
the highest Judges, sworn npholders
of the constitution and laws, defen-
ders of private rights, ministers of
Justice, the character and conduct of
lawyers can never be a matter of in
difference to the public mind. Init
matcly connected with the admins
tration Of the government, and
largely concerned in the national
greatness and prosperity, the repu-
tation of the bar is inseparable from
the national fame.

Southern LazineSS,
[From the Goodwin (Miss.) Southern Star. ]

The stranger visiting the South is
particularly impressed with the vast
wealth of the country that can sup
port in idleness so large a portion of
male inhabitants. Two-thirds Of our
citizens are only nominally employ
ed, and under a pure pretense OF en-
ployment manage to pass their timo
in complete Incidence. This will ap-
ply to white as well as colored. There
are numbers of both classes out of
work and money, and yet will not
work. Offer a negro a dollar to cut
up a cord of wood and he has not
time, he has something else to do for
somebody else; yet that something
is not done. Offer a job to a white
man and the chances are ten to one
your answer will be a shot from pis-
toll or a thrust from bowie knife.
OF the two the negro is the only one
ashamed of his lazineSs, for he eXcI-
ses himself, but the white man is
instlted. Yet neither of them have
seen Il dollar for q week, perhaps,
and both are lying around a dram
shop waiting to be asked to drink by
some acquaintance who has Il few
dimes.
