Ny First Client.

I had been called to the bar not quite
q year, and was seated with my friend
Frank Armitage, in our chambers in the
temple. Frank had been called on, the
same day as myself, and we had agreed
to make our professional start together.
To that end we had become joint pos
SCISSORS Of set of chambers at No. SO
FiQtree court, and of boy named
Blobbs. who was known as our "clerk, u
though his tender years and seedy gar
menfs made the dignifed appellation
sound almost ironical. His style of
dress was peculiar, and gave one the
idea that he had several brothers OF var
ious sizes, and had borrowed an article
of apparel from each-his boots be-
longing to the eldest and his trowsers
to the Youngest There were sundry
other boys on our staircase with whom
Blobbs was constantly having little diff
5 ferences, and fighting them out upon
the landing; indeed this, with occa-
sional expeditions to Prospers for COM
missariat purposes, formed the staple Of
his professional occupations. When he
first undertook his duties, we had
started him with pint bottle of ink, a
a ream of draft paper, and gross OF
pens; and we had enjoined him to em-
ploy all his leisure time in copying pre-
cedents. He began with great vigor,
and copied about page and half, in
q large school-boy hand, the first morn
ing, but he never got any farther. The
ream Of paper dwindled, somehow, and
the ink disappeared to an extent which
even the numerous little black devils,
with which Blobbs had embelished his
domain, failed to account for, until, one
morning, detected him in backing his
boots with it, and polishing them with
the pen-Eiper Still, as boys go, Blobbs
was not a very bad specimen; and, as
we really had no work for him to do,
we were not disposed to be extremely
angry with him for not doing it. q y "
Fortunately. Armitage and, myself
were both, to considerable extent, in
dependent Of our profession, for, to all
appearance; our profession was quite in
dependent Of us. We had been called, !,
as 1 have mentioned, very nearly q year,
and neither of us had been favored
with brief; nor did there appear to be
any particular likelihood that we ever
should. We had had a friend, Char
ley Larcombe, who had recently been
articled to solicitor, and who had
promised that when he was out, of his
articles (which would be in about four
years) and had passed his examination
(which might be fortyf he would "give
MS lift" This rather vague prospect
really appeared to be our only chance
but, with the natural sanguineness Of
youth, we still looked for briefs, though
we had not the faintest notion where
they were I'd come from, In truth, IN
the very early days of our professional
career, (when we had only been barris-
ters for week OF two) we used to watch
with anxious solicitude any person Of
legal aspect who was seen to cross the
court in the direction of our staircase;
but We found that the person of legal
aspect invariably stopped short at the
chambers Of Cocksure, Q. c., which
were Immediately below ours, and the

NERVOUSNESS AND NERvINEs.-Ner-
vousness is one of the prices we have TO
pay for civilization; the nervous savage
Is being unheard of. For this disor-
der, which is partly of mental and
partly of a bodily nature, relief is
sought in various ways, and among
those we may place the employment Of
narcotics. The temporary relief af-
forded by these drugs is very aptto lead
those who suffer from nervous sensa-
tions to put too much trust in, and to
resort too frequently to them. In the
long run, they prove most destructive
to the health. Their use has of late BE-
come SO frequent as to threaten society
with serious evil. 1t has been boldly
contended that chloral is to be found IN
the work-boxes and baskets Of nearly
every lady in the west end Of the me-
tropolis, " to calm her nerves" NO
doubt this is an exaggeration, but It Is
fact that in New York chloral punch
had become an institution scarcely 2
year after the introduction of chloral
into medical practice. And now it turns
out that Germany" sober, orderly, pa
ternally-ruled Germany"-has such .
thing as morphia disease spreading
among its population. The symptoms
are not unlike those of opium eating
Experience suggests that persons suffer
ing from this disease should at once %
deprived of the drug. Their wiiltul-
ness and liability to relapse. however,
are so great that it is said that only
about 25 per cent. have been seen to re-
cover in a large series Of cases.-CaS-

DIVING FOR DRINK.-One of the hot
test regions of the earth is along the
Persian Gulf, where little or no rain
falls. At Bahrein the arid shore has no
fresh water; yet comparative numer-
Gus population contrives to exist there,
thanks to copious springs which burst
forth from the bottom of the sea. The
fresh water is got by diving. The diver,
sitting his boat, winds great goat. skin
bag around his left arm, the hand grasp
ing its mouth then he takes in his right
hand heavy stone, to which is attached
strong line, and thus equipped he
plunges in and quickly reaches the bot
tom. Instantly opening the bag over
the strong jet of fresh water, he springs
up in the ascending current, at the same
time closing the bag, and is helped
aboard. The stone is then hauled up.
and the diver, after taking breath.
plunges in again. The sources of these
copious submarine springs is thought
to be in the green hills Of Oman, some
five or six hundred miles Distant Sci
entyic American.

expressed an adverse opinion. If Mr..
Cocksure was timid, 1 bad better be at
least cautious.
You will have uphill work before
you 1 am afraid, and 1 should recon-
mend you, Mr.. Ward, as a man of busi-

selves) to see your way very clear as to

"Oh, dear, yes, sir; no doubt they
would. But we've quite made up our
minds not to go to law about the matter.
1t would only be throwing good money
after bad; leastways it would if we had
any to throw; but we haven't. Podg-
ers ran away to America last Monday,
and his poor wife and five young chill

hearted gentleman, so l made bold to
call and ask if you wouldn't put down
your name for a trife for the widow and

hension, and had been mentally well
coming him as my first client. On the
other hand, after the extreme interest 1
had exhibited in the case, could not
do less than give him handsome dona-
ton. Smiling amiably, but inwardly
breathing the most awful imprecations
against Virgins land very nearly VOW
ing, on the spur of the moment, never
to have my hair cut again as long as 1
lived) 1 expressed my extreme gratiti-
cation at having the opportunity Of con-
tributing a sovereign to the necessities
of the Podgers family. Mr.. Ward
beamed with delight, and pressed on my
acceptance his card, assuring me that,
if should at any time require any
thing in his line, it would be his most
earnest endeavor-these words, by the
way, he apparently spelt with an h-to
give me satisfaction. He insisted on
shaking hands at parting, and appeared
to find considerable difficulty in tearing
himself away. At last, however, he de-
parted, leaving me still holding his card,

My one absorbing thought, as soon as

to conceal this facts from Armitage-
what possible fiction to invent which
should save my dignity from the expos

saved from the ordeal by hearing a

of frantic laughter from the room to

My worst fears were realized. He knew
all. He was lying upon the bed, his
feet considerably above his head, cram
ming a pocket handkerchief in his
