Whenever n suit is called mp at 1li.ls-

granted that they know all aboI IT,
and as matter of course they are
sworn in Seeing so many lawye IS

lines about the Kings OF Europe.

These two last lines we have slightly
varie,i TO suit the case. We have tie
highest respect tor the lawyers, and are
sure the world could do without them
no more than it could do without the
preachers and doctors. The last are
founded on mans sickness, the preach
ers on his sins, and the lawyer on his
constitutional cheatery. 1t is Is a COM
fort TO think that there will be none of
them in heaven, that is, as such. Nei-
ther pill-box nor brief, nor g eepy SER

Among the visitors we have had dur

them seem to be men of zeal aud ahili-
ty, and we hope, in their visits TO diff
ferent parts OF the country, they will
meet with the cooperation OF All good
christians. We use this phrase good
christians" without having clear idea
of who are the bad christians who exist
by implication. But wherever these
may be found, they can take Il new de-
parture, by helping on the Sunday
school and the Bible society.
Our crops are looking remarkably
well, although a little late. Even the

by the way it is said, that he can in

things are looking pretty web If only
we do not have the rust, or n tornado, |
OF drought, or water-spout, or ali
invasion OF grasShnpPers, or an cpl
demic, or some such little occurrence.
DIR. Rivers of Pulaski has been visit
ing the neighborhOod during the last
few Gays. High as our expectations had
been raised about him, they were more
than satisfied. ripe scholar, an able
man, an educator of vast experience, an
earnest catholic-spirited christian gen
tleman, he will make the munificent be-
quest to the town and county a wide
spreading blessing. While we regretted
to hear of the resignation of Mr.. Jones,
if we had to lose him, 10 one would fill
his place better than this eminent schol-
ar and divine, we think there is
but ole thing the matter with DIR. Riv-
ers. He is man whom it will be hard
for a place like Pulaski to keep. We
mean no slight to our sensitive friend
and neighbor, but the Doctor has been
for we'll nigh "A decade, in city of I00,-
600, and they are trying hard to get him
back. The Doctor will probably preach
in the Presby terrain church at this place
