Unfortunate Col. Temple, of Nashville,

The heart of our people has not been cor
roded in the same degree. 1t remains sound
er and healthier. Yet it is not altogether
free from that taint of that canker which
has eaten into our public life and into our
commercial and political morality. Absorb
ed in momentous issues, we have been too
obliyious to those seeds of political disease
which have been developing around us.
Living upon false basis, marked by false
currency and false values, We have grown in
to false ideas of attainment and false stand
ards of action. Out of all this peryersion
has sprung the speculative mania, the NOR
bid passion for rapid fortune and swift ag-
grandizement. the inordinate ambition for
towering enterprise with never 4 thought or
Il care for its morality, the gigantic railroad
plunderings of the Jay Goulds, and the
Haunting social leprcsy of the jim Fisks, the
shameless debauchery of the Barnards and
the Durells on the bench, aad the monstrous
corruption of the Tweeds and the Buffers in
politics. This hideous prohigacy has spread
with alarming force. But at the same time
it has furnished our profession with the oc-

The press has grappled with the wrong, as
Hercules grappled with the Lernaean hydra,
and like the fabled hero of antiquity, has
succeeded in cutting off one head after an
other and soaring the wounds with the hot
iron of the public reprobation until there is
gratifying hope of destroying the monster
altogether. No other agency could have ac-
complished the great work. Upon no other
can the people 50 confidently and surely rely
in this stupendous warfare. 1t is their own
voice concentrated and intensified. 1t is
their own will gathered up and hurled with

Burke says That the profession of law
teaches men to "augur misgovernment at n

for that noble profession, should accept
rather the modified Judgment of De Tocque-

he says that its influence l. 1.-THE most pow

LUTHER AS A TALKER.-COming down to
modern times, we find Martin Luther to have
been one of the most charming takers of the
ages. Fond of society, fond cf music, fond
of children, intensely earnest, outspoken,
and bubbling over with humor, he had Just
the qualities which make good converser :;
and we find his "Table-Talk" abounding in
those Illuminated thoughts that caste light
asfrom painted window" upon every theme,
even the darkest and most drearv. Coarse
and violent he sometimes was he used
''plain words, stript of their shirts - called,
Spartan-like, spade a spade and loved, as
what Teuton does not his glass of beer.
But revolutions are not made with rosewat-
er, nor can broad axes have the delicacy of
edge of razors. The more intimately we
know Luther, the better we like him, for,
as another has said, she has the charm of
nature. Of the most delicate wine man is
sometimes tired but water Is eternally fresh
and new, as welcome the thousandth time as
the first ''God made the priests" said
he, one day ''the devil set about an imi-
tation, but he made the tonsure too large,
and produced monk In illustration the
great reformer is especially happy. ''That
little fellow" he said of bird going to roost,
"has chosen his shelter, and is quietly rock
ing himself to sleep without a care for to-
morrow's lodging, calmly holding by his
little twig, and leaving God to think for
him when | am aSsailed," he says,
with heavy tribulations, rush out.among
my pigs, rather than remain alone by myself.
The human heart is like milestone in
mill when you put wheat under it, it
turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to
flour. If you put no wheat. it still grinds
on; but then It's itself it grinds and wears
away" Sometimes he te.ls good story, as
this: IAN idle priest, instead of reciting his
breviary, used to run over the alphabet, and
then say 20 my God, take this alphabet
and put it together how you will :" Had
Dr. Martin lived in our day, he would per-
haps have thrown his inkstand at some other
persons beside the devil. 1t Is plain that he
had no sympathy with bluestockings, or
woman s-rightsers. = for he says, There is
no gown or garment that worse becomes a
woman than when she will be wise" Though
often deeply depressed, he always counselled
gayety of heart in Others. 1.-The birds" he
said, must hyover our heads. but why al
low them to roost in our hair? OF female
beauty he says, The hair is the finest orna-
meat women have. of old, virgins used to
wear it loose, except when they were in
mourning. like women TO let their hair
fall down their back It's n most agreeable
sight. -Mathars' = Great CoRrersers.
