The New Orleans Picayms's local
editor relates the following touching
incident: In the Police Court an old
veteran was arraigned for sleeping in
the square. He had frequently been
found before in the same condition, and
remonstrances seemed to have no eff.
feet in inducing him to abandon the
practice. The Court, therefore, de-
termined to deal rigidly with him,
and to this end inquired Why he per-
sisted in this course.

A SERMON FOR LAwYERs.-Rev. E. E
Hale, in recent address, preached to th

A SERMON FOR LAwYERs-Rev. E. E.
Hale, in a recent address, preached to the
lawyers as follows:
l hope the American lawyer understands the
same truth, that, unless he deals with infinite
values, his profession is handicraft, and his
duty job. Unless he deals with Justice, pure
as heaven,-unless he deals with truth, virgin
as truth was born, there is for him no ermine.
These States, in our organization OF society,
have given to the men of his calling distin-
guished position, have shielded them by privi-
lege else wholly unknown; they are exempt
from many of the burdens of other life. and
see open to them its highest honOrs. This is
because they are pledged in their very train
ing, and by their oalh of Office are sworn, to
obtain justice for all men, and for the State.
The American lawyer ought not to forget the
traditions of his profession. The Templars of
England. through whose hands come down to
him the methods of the past, are the direct
descendants of templars bound to the service
OF chivalry. The only fee which he receives is
in form an "honoraria7n," not the pay for ser
vice. The service is the unbought service of
the King of truth and of right. He goes forth
en- his circuit, such is the theory of his profess
sion, with the same determination to protect
the right and to crush the wrong which sent
out Lancelot or Arthur. Who needs his help?
Is it this poor boy, arraigned for murder by a
mad mob, because he is of another color than
theirs, and they will wreak on him the wrath
of centuries? Or is it some child of luxury,
born in the purple, who has smiles and honors
| and gold for her minions? He does his best
| be it for the one or for the other; ferrets out
conspiracy; seizes truth, though truth be hid
ing her face in tears; and compels the tribunal
to decide rightly! The moment that the
| American lawyer abandops this position, the
moment he sells justice, or the share of justice
that his services can command, to the highest
bidder; the moment he says that the ring
which can spend millions shall have millions
worth, while the beggar with a penny shall
have peLny's worth,-in such words of bias
phemy, he shows he has no knowledge of what
justice is. He abandons the position OF one
as one unfit, the raLks of liberal calling He
makes himself a mere craftsman, dealing with
things alone, and to be recempensed with
things alone. Leave him, gentlemen; leave
him to the company he deserves!-From Old
and Ne,o for October.

American Board of Missions.

SALEM, Oct. 6, 1871
The enlargement of the operations of the
Board contemplated in the work among Ro-
man Catholic nations is ratified by the unani-
nous sutfrages of the honorary as we'll as the
corporate members present, the entire audi
enee arising at the call, while song and prayer
added their Influence to the impressiveuess of
the occasion. This constitutes leading fea-
ture OF interest in this, the gid annual session.
The best speakers were called out or this ques-
tion, and on its passage the first voice to con-
gratulate the Board was that of Coquerell the
eminent Unitarian divine from Paris, France.
He bears witness to the atheistic character of
much which nomally passes under the name
of Papacy, and rejoices in the introduction of
Biblical Christianity among the French speak
ing race everywhere.
The returned missionaries from every quar-
ter of the globe spoke with confidence and
cheer and their words were received with re-
sponsve emotion by the immense audiences
at Mechanics Hall. Meetings for children,
for mothers, for the Woman Boards of Mission.

are held, so that one must be ubiquitous to en-

A Balloon Ascpusiou.


MIR. Holden, OF the Boston Journal, one of
the voyagers in the balloon which landed at
Bridgton Centre Thursday evening, sent to
his paper the following account of the @rlal
voyage:
The balloon which assembled from plymouth,
n. H., Yesterday afternoon landed In brldgton
after a voyage of only one hour and twenty
seven minutes duration. The distance be-
tween the two points, in direct line, IS ABOUT
forty three miles, but the balloon TOOK zlgzag
course and actually Travelled at least ten mics
further Upon leaving the fair grounds at Ply
mouth we rose quite rapidly IN northeasterly
course and were at once over the dense woods
between Plymouth and Campton. High
mountains were upon nearly every side and
directly in our course. The autumn foliage
was of the most brilliant and beautiful colors,
and the landscape presented very enchanting
picture The atmosphere was very hazy
shutting out every object twenty miles distant,
and it was especially dense northward. At no
time was either Mount Lafayette or Mount
Washington visible, and the balloon passed
within twenty miles of both. In passing
across the Pemigewasset valley at Campton,
the valley, and even some of the little eleya
tons in the vicinity had general fiat appear
ance, but the scenery over most of the route
travelled was very different from that usually
encountered by aerial voyagers, the high
mountains and the ravines being readily dis
tinguishable. From Campton we passed up
ofer tHc Mdu hlVer Valley short distance,
thepee striking across Watervile and Albany
In Watervlle, near the line of Sand wich, or
or possibly within the limits of the latter town,
we passed directly over high mountain, and
within tour or five hundred feet from the sum
mlt Our altitude was at the time 1870 feet
aboue the level of the sea, and we were travel
ing at rapid rate, since only thirteen minu.es
had elapsed after our leaving Plymouth
White Face Mountain was also directly in our
course, and Mr.. King was obliged to throw out
sand to 60 over it. We passed directly over its
| peak at an elevation of 6144 feet, it then being
four minutes of five o'clock. Soon after pass
| ing White Face the balloon took another
course and sailed southeast, passing over Chor-
corua Mountain, just sout of the highest peak.
Crossing the line of the extension of the
| Great Falls and Conway Railroad in the town
| of Madison, we soon found ourselves travelling
| oorLheasterly again, and we continued in that
| course over Eaton, N. H., and Browntield, Me.
into Bridgton. Our landing was effected with
/ perfect safely, some of the citizens catching
hold of the drag rOpe and towing us up to the
| village, where Mr.. King treated some of the
ladies' to an excursion by the means of a long
| rope. The citizens accorded to Mr.. King and
his companions very hearty reception. Our
| greatest altitude was while we were passing
| over White Face, and the thermometer then
reached its lowest point, forty-six degrees.-
fhe atmosphere was at no time uncomfortable.
