TINE DAD CHURCH,

TINE DAD CHURCH,
The good old church, tho goold old church.
Hos glad 1t made me feel;
For thought of the times, the good old times
When there I used to knecl:
Again in recollection the preachers voice bear.
And amid my joyous feelings wipe away a tear.
'Twss in that church, that good old church,
That was born anew,
Midst groans and sighs that then burst forth,
For mercy did sue.
Whilst Ger my mind these by gone mem ries stole
again was made to weep in agony Of soul.
Twas in that church, that blest old church,
Sat friends in good array,
Listening to how Christ wept and died
They, too, save passed away;
But in that old familiar place once moro bend
tho ear,
Asd IN the anthems ringing notes again their
voice hear.
In the good old church, the good old church
Again I'll sit me down;
Aud list to a strange preachers voice,
Though he speaks of tho same bright crown
close my eyes, and Ger my mind visions of the
past will steal
Childhood and its recollections once more In
made to feel. S. A. STUART.

A MODEL LAWYER Squire johnson

ecdote will show;
Jones once rushed into the Squre's
Office in great passion, and said. THAT
internal scoundrel Of q cobbler, Smith,

for Q pair of boots
Then you owe him Eve dollars?
To be sure do, but he's gone and
sued m0-sued me
Then why don't you pay him, If you
owe him2
Because he's sued me, and when q man
does that III never pay till it costs him
moro than he gets. | want you to make
it cost him all you can.
But it will cost you something, too.
| don't care for that. What do you
charge to begin withY
Ten dollars, aud more if there's much
extra trouble.
All right! There's the X. Now 60
ahead
No sooner was his client gone than
Squire johnson stepped across to his
neighbor Smith, aud offered to pay the
bill on condition that the suit should be
Withdrawn. The shoemaker gladly &C.
ceded-ull he wanted was his pay. The
lawyer retained the other five for his fee,
and as the case was not troublesome he
made no demand upon his client.
Ten days days after, Jones came to ses
how his case was getting on.
All right, said the lawyer; you won
have any more trouble about that. lpu'
It to Smith SO strongly that be was glad
to withdraw tho suit altogether.
Capital cried the exulting Jsnss
You've done it up browni You shal
