A LEGEND ABOUT LAWYERS.
How There Came 10 be One i'm
Heaven.
Translated from the French. ]

A journal lately announced that the
corporation of shefitfs addressed a Pc
tition to the minister Of justice, request
ing that the office Of justice of the
peace should hereafter be accessible to
retired sheriiis, and not pertain exclu.
siyely to lawyers and attorneys who
have left thu bar. | was recently talk
ing about th, request with a sheriff.
"Why not said lac with heart.
1--WE are as good as the lawyers. Per-
haps we are better. OF what are they
proud! 1t is true, they say, that the
sheriiis have never furnished a saint
for paradise. DO not dispute it. But
the lawyers! they have only furnished
one, ana even he entered heaven by a
trick worthy of the trade.
"Ah!' said |, us there a lawyer in
paradise avow this surprises me.
1 believed the celestial dwelling guarded
against lawyers as firmly as against res
taurant keepers and tailors! Relate to
me tle history Of this lawyer who has
forced the CELESTIAL guards y
Willingly. About three centuries
ago u lawyer slipped into heaven under
the name Of his cousin, Able de Cit
cauz, who had just died in the SAVIOR of
holiness. All went well for two days,
and no one suspected there was an in.
truder IN celestial dwellings, But at
the end Of two days our lawyer was
homesirk for the court. lie was bored.
He set out, therefore, to survey the
court Of heaven, starting at the pass
ers by, as he had formerly done in the
hall Of Pas.Perdu, in order TO place
his hand upon good client.
49, Wse cause must have
cause - said he, cienching his fists.
Il want a cause ought to plead for
nothing y But all the passers had a
Joyous air which hardly denoted the
pre.occupation Of chicanery. He was
Observation-Disclosures. Al at once hO es.
pied young woman, clothed in long
mourning robes, who, with eyes cast
down and melancholy brow, walked
along, .eading a child by the hand.
Victory !! cried our man, making
a Joyful gambol. Behold the cause
Behold the widow and the orphan 7
"With turn Of his hand he adjust.
cd his band, drapcd his robe elegantly,
and presented himself to the widow.
making one Of his most amiable bows.
Madame is q plaintiff, said he in a
honied voice, oh sou may have,
madam, al confidence in my ability.
For the rest, have the ears Of the
tribunal. Have you the papers As
for the just.
"The lady raised her eyes and ut.
tered a cry Of terror. "'Mon Dieu -
said she, "1his man is Mons. Parle
creux. Itisas year since then, my
poor child. At the cry raised by
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1874-12-18

the widow, great crowd gathered !
They surrounded her, they questioned
her, they understood the truth. I'm
mediately general clSmor resounded
under the whole celestial vault.
"A lawyer there is a lawyer in
Paradise But what is st. Peter think.
ing Of! st. Peter soon arrived on the
spot. He perceived his error, and com.
manded the intruder to leave instantly
a dwelling that was forbidden him.
Mons. Parlecreux, intimidated for an
instant, very quickly RECEIVERS his as
surance. He mounts small hill, turns
up his sleeves, coughs, blows his nose,
then extending his hand toward the
auditory. he cries: 'Quid! Cur
Quare Quomodo! Quando
"'You tire me- bluntly replied the
guardian Of heaven. Go hence.
have already said it; repeat it to you.
Il consent to do it, if only the
thing is legal. | demand Of the tribu.
nal permission to put one question to
it,
Put it, but quickly
Gentlemen, if there is in the uni
verse place where the law ought to be
respected it seems to me that it is here
in the sanctuary Of eternal justice.
All, well, gentlemen, according to the
law, a proprietor is not 70 expel q LODI
ger without sending summons to him
by sheriff. | await my summons,
and ] make my reserves.
''St. Peter was moved by this reason.
ing. so be it. Let some one 60 after
the sheriff to make the summons. Five
or six officers Immediately started in
quest Of a sheriff. But after long
search they came back without bring.
ing with them the civil officer. An
we'll !! said st. Peter, where is the sher-
ifr"
impossible to find one in Paradise. "
''In fact, although | have never
thought of it before, there has never
been one admitted here. What shall
we do not to violate law"
a low burst of cunning laughter re.
piled to lin. 1t was Mons. Palecreux,
who nearly swooned with delight on
seeing the embarrassment Of the celes-
tial guardian.
81 shall await my summons long
time, said he, making victorious
gesture. "The sheriff who will bring it
to me is not yet BORN
St. Peter was taken aback.
"One Of his advisers whispered to
him the idea of allowing a sheriff to en-
ter Paradise for few hours only, in or.
der to hasten the departure of the law
yer.
That would be bad expedient,
replied he; you do not know lawyers.
Ours would find means to cavil upon
the legality oil the summons. He would
plunge us into the troubled waters Of
the laws, and finally he would not leave
US. After that l should find myself
with a lawyer and sheriff on my
hands. The first is enough And
this is how there came to be lawyer
in Paradise"
