John K. Grymes, the great lawyer Of the
New Orleans bar in his day. Abel had
just made one of those pondercus argu-
ments of which his opinions on the bench
arose and said May it please your honor.
my mother taught me at her knee that cruel
Cain killed his poor brother Abel, and
have believed it until to-day. when l lind
out that she was mistaken, and all that
Cain did was to knock Abells brains out. !"

Holmes on LAWYERS,

In the May number Of the Atlantic.
Oliver Wendell Holmes says Of LAWYERS /:
The lawyers are u picked lot, Z" first
scholars " and The like, but their business
is as unsysicmatic as jack Ke,cl,'s. There
is nothing human'zing in their relations
with their fellow creatures. They 90

defend the man they know 10 be a ropuG
aud not very rarely throw suspicion Oh
the man they know TO be innocent.
Mind you, am not finding fault With
them 4; every side of a case has a RIGHT
TO the best statement it admits of. but |
say ii does not tend TO make them sym
pathetic. Suppose that in Il case Of
Fever VS. Patient the doctor should side
with either party, according to whether
the old mlser or his eXpectant heir was
his employer. Suppose the minister
should side with the Lord OF the devil.
according to the salary oftrd and other
incidental advantages, where the soul of
sinner was IN question. You see what
piece Of work II would make Of their

quicker-witted than either Of the other
professions, aud ADLER men generally.

Influence Of Newspapers.

A school teacher, who has been en-
gagged tor long time in his profession,
and witnessed the influence of news
paper upon the minds of family OF
children, writes as follows:
81 have found it TO be the universal
fact without exception, that those schol-
ars of both sexes, and of all ages, who
have access to newspapers at home,
when compared to those who have not,
are:
l. Better readers, excellent in pro.
nunciation, and consequently read more
undcl s'andingly.
They are better spoilers, and define
words with ease and accuracy.
5 They obtain practical knowledge
OF geography III almost hall the time il
requires Of others, as the newspapers
had made them acquainted with the To-
cation of the important places Of the ma
tions, their Governments and doings on
The globe,
I They are better grammarians for
having become SO familiar with every
variety OF style of newspapers, from the
commonplace advertisement 10 the fin.
ished and classical Grafton of the states
man, they more readily comprehend the
meaning OF the tsxr, and consequently
analyze it's construction with accuracy.
They write better compositions,
using better language, containing more
thoughts more clearly and more con-
nectedly expressed.
Those young men who have for years
been readers of the newspapers, are al,
ways taking the lead in the debating So
cieiies, exhibiting more extensive
knowledge upon greater variety oi
subjects, and expressing their views
with greater tiuency, clearness and COR
rectness in the use of language.

Misplaced Confidence.

The bitterest disappointments OF life
are those which follow tie tPeachery OF
friends. There is nothing so fearful in all
the terrible reverSes of fortune, We re-
member some half dozen suicides with
in a year, all following some abandon'
ment or betrayal. Women betray men,
and men prove false to women, aud friend
deceives friend. Business partners cheat
each other, lawyers consume their clients,
and boon companions like Fisk and
Stokes, murder each other. History
teaches the same lesson that the Scrip
lures do, to-wit: "Put not thy trust in
princes. nor in the son of man, in whom
there is no help" We need a higher
friendship, nobler trust as the basis of
happiness. We have been snrprized at
the peace and serenity OF soul God can
give, aud we more and more lean upon
his promises. q
A sad case of misplaced confidence is
given us by gentleman in Brooklyn,and
we give it to our readers as an example
and warning; ,
Some twenty years ago gentleman
living in the suburbs of the City OF
Brooklyn, fonnd il necessary in the con-
duct Of his business TO place all his prop
erty aud effects In the Hands of his legal
adviser. When the time arrived for
