A Lawyers First Address.

There are few mental tortures more
terrible than that which young lawyer,
constitutionally timid, suffers when for
the first time he rises to address the
court and jury. No nightmare is more
frightful than those twelve men, honest
and true, presided over by the frowning
majesty of the bench. They are, then
and there, all the world to him, and q
horrible world it is to his brain, bewil.
dered by the sight and natural diff
dence.
Mr.. John P. Kennedy tells of such q
scene which was turned into triumph
by the will-power of the young man and
the sympathy of the court. He says :
"I remember tile agony with which the
confused novitiate arose second time,
having been but moment before COM
PEELED to take his seat, in the hope to
collect his routed thoughts. His second
essay was not more fortunate than the
first. He stood silent for brief space,
and at the end was enabled to say, Gen.
tlemen, / declare to Heaven that if ]
had an enemy upon whose head l would
invoke the most cruel torture, could
wish him no other than to stand where
/ stand now.'
"Curiously enough, the sympathy
which this appeal brought him seemed
almost instantly to give him strength.
A short pause was followed by another
effort which was completely and even
triumphantly successful"
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1878-11-22
A Petrified Chinaman.

"The bodies of the Chinese who die
and are buried in this country are, says
a New York paper, exhumed and sent
back to the Flowery Kingdom. A few
weeks since San Francisco celestial
disinterred the remains of several OF his
compatriots for the purpose of exporta-
tion, and was surprised to find that one
of them, who had been in the earth four
years, had been perfectly petrified. The
body bore no signs of decomposition,
even the eye-lashes, eyebrows and cue
having been preserved in stone. The
soil in the vicinity is moistened by
springs; but as the other graves contain
ed skeletons, as graves usually do after
q certain time, the presence of water
does not explain the phenomenon. The
friends of the petrifed Chinaman are
much troubled at his transformation,
because it costs good deal more than
was expected, on account Of increas-
ed weight, to return him to the celestial
kingdom. In truth there is danger of
the petrifed unfortunate remaining in
the United States, since no pecuniary
provision had been made for his aug
mented avoirdupois. Some OF the Chinese
think the lapidi6cation trick Of the
hoodlums, who have some way of turn
ing their corpses into stone to prevent
their transportation, and that they have
indulged their malice in this, just as
they have in cutting off Johns pig-tail.
There is nothing too mean or malignant
for the hoodlums to do; but nature must
be blamed, not they, for this singular
conversion"
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1878-11-22
Master OF One.

Don't aim to be jack of -all-trades.
Universal geniuses never amount to
much. Success comes through repu-
tation for superiority in some one thing.
An expert diamond-setter will receive
better payment than an artisan skilled
in many branches of trade; and the same
principle is true in business, mechanics
and all the arts. Learn many things,
but make all requirements contribute to
one thing. There is a special line Of
success in every calling, and every life
has special work to do. "You receive
fortune" said one to great English
author, "for piece of work that it
hardly takes you dozen days to do. ="
Yes," replied the writer, "but it has
cost me dozen years of special train
ing to be able to do this work in a dozen
days, and receive fortune because no
one else has this special training, and
can do the work so perfectly" In
homely phrase, there is great deal in
knowing how to do things.
