A PIECE OF SECRET HISTORY.
Alluding 10 the fact that much has been
said about tire presence Of AN unruly dis
loyal Union element IN North Carolina

PLAIN TALK FROM 4 JUDGE.

At Rome. Ga; recently four young law
yers, who had just passed an examination.
we're addressed as follows by Judge Under
wood:
Young gentlemen want to say a
thing or two to you. You have passed a.
good an examination as usual perhaps bet
teri but you don't know anything. Like
those young fellows just back from their
graduation college, You think you know q
great deal. That is great mistake. If,
you ever get to be Of any account, you will
be surprised at your present ignorance.
Don't be TOO big for your breecbes, Go round
to the justices court. Try to learn some
thing. Don't be afraid. Set off upon a
high key. You will. no doubt, speak a
great deal of nonsense. but, you will have
one consolation-nobody will know L. The
great mass Of mankind sound for sense.
Never mind about your case-pitch. You
are about as apt TO win as lose. Don,t be
ashamed Of the Hise-looking justice. He
don't know thing. He is a dead beat ON
knowledge. Stand TO your rack. fodder
or no fodder. and you will see daylight af-
ter while. The community generally
supPoses that you will be rascals There
is no absolute necessity that you should.
You may be smart without being tricky.
Lawyers ought to be gentlemen. Some Of
them don't como up to the standard. and
are disgrace to tie fraternity. They
know more than any other race generally.
aud not much in particular. They don't
know anything about sand. stones, carbopi-
ferrous periods, and ancient land a1!asals
known as fossils. Men that make out thew
know great deal on these subjects don't
know much. They are hu,pbars--superb
huInbugs. They are ancient lanI animals
themselves, and will Ultimately be so~sils. .
You ars dismissed With tho sincere hope Of
the court that you will not make asses Of
yourselves
