A MODEL LAwYER.-Squire johnson
was a model lawyer, as the following
anecdote will show:
Mr.. Jones orce rushed into the
Squire's Office in great passion. THAT
Internal scoundrel of cobbler, SUith,
has sued me. Mr.. johnson sued me
for five dollars owe him for o pair Of
bootst'
"Then you owe him the five dollars"
"To be sure 1 do, but he has gone
and sued me-sued me !"
"Then why don't you pay him, if
you owe him?"
because he's sued me; and when a
man does that, I'll never pay him till it
costs him more than he gets. I want
you 20 make it cost him all you can"
But it will cost you something, too. "
81 don't care for that; what do you
charge to begin With"
"Ten dollars; and more if there is
extra trouble"
"All right There's the X. Now 60

No sooner was his client gone than
Squire johnson stepped across to his
neighbor Smith and offered to pay the
bill on condition the suit be withdrawn.
The shoemaker gladly acceded = all he
wanted was his pay. The lawyer re-
tanned the other five for his fee, and as
the case was not troublesome" made
no further demands uroD his client.
Ten days after. Jones came in to see
low his case was getting along.
"An right" said the lawyer. "You
won't have any trouble about that. l
put it to Smith so strongly that he was
clad to withdraw the suit altogether.
"Capital p cried the exulting Jones.
"You'vo done it up brown. You shall

few years ago. in the north OF En-.
gland. by two families WHO were search
ing up their respective ancestry.
The strife was great between them
each ole determined to look back to
antiquities aither than the other.
One of the families, whose name was
Spencer, employed an artist TO paint O
historic scene representing the building
of the ark, and the loading up of the
ship by Noah and his sons with its mul.
tifarious cargo.
On the gang plank leading to the
deck of the ark two men we're seen roll.
ing up large hox. on one side of which
was painted in large letters; "Relics. in

Spencer family"
This was considered coup d'etat
hard to beat. but the other family. de-
termined not 10 be outdone in the
antedeluvian pretences of their of
name. prepared at great cost and re-
search a record of their antiquity.
In describing the exploits Of one Of
their ancestors. at very early day. who
was represented as a man of some au-
tholity. this remarkable passage occurs;
"During this year Adam and Eve
were driven out of Paradise"

Of March has been the rougEest and
most disagreeable month we have ex-

vet it has been milder and more pleos-

weather reports. We have snow. wind.
sleet and rain, but no freezing weather
durirg the time. Flowers have contin-
ued to bloom in the open air. and the

the weather has been the destruction OF

SAVINGS EMO IN WEAITH.-Every body
knows the correctness Of the views CIV
en- here Below, yet in thousand years
from now the same remarks will be
equally applicable. 1t is by constantly
keeping them before us, however, that
they will be likely to do the most good;
One great cause of the poverty of the
present day is the failure of our people
to appreciate small shipgs. They do not
realize how daily addition, be it ever
80 small will soon make large pile. If
the young men and young women Of to-
day will only begin and begin how 10
save q little from tneirr earnings and
plant it in some good savings bank. and
weekly or monthly add their mite, they
will wear happy smile of competence
when they reach middle life. Not only
the desire but the ability to increase it
will also grow.
Let alerk and tradesman, laborer and
artisan, make now and at once begin
ming. Store up some of your youthful
force and vigor for future contingency.
Let parents teach their children to be-
gin early to save. Beginning at the
fountain head to control the stream OF
extravagance- to choose between pow
erty and riches. Let our youth go Oh
IN habits of extravaganza for fifty years
to come as they have for fifty years past,
and we shall have nation of beggars,
with moneyed aristocracy. Let gen
Grafton of such as save in small sums
be reared aud we shall be free f-om all
want. Do not be ambitious for extrav-
seant fortune, but do seek that which
is the duty of every one to obtain. inde-
vendence and a comfortable home
Wealth, and enough of it, is within the
reach of all. 1t is obtainable by one
process. and by one only-.saving.
