came amongst you, some three year!
ago, our deceased brother WAS a yOun.
man-one amongst the youngest mem
bers of the bar here. He had Il
the eyes a fair prospect for a long
life of usefulness before him. He
was then journal clerk of the court
OF common pleas of this county, and as
such discharged the duties of the posi-
ton promptly and attentively. On
forming his acquaintance | was very
favorably impressed with his ability and
uniform gentlemanly department. l
noticed that he was a young man OF
clear application to his studies and
capacity TO apply what he learned to
useful purposes. As a lawyer he had
carefully applied himself to the study of
his profession; as historian and miScel-
laneOus reader he was far in advance of
many persons much older than he was,
and as scholar he was often counseled
by his brother members of the bar. He
contributed his full share to make my
stay amongst you pleasant and agreeable
to me. l noticed an especial trait in his
character as a lawyer. that was what
ever be done he done it accurately. As
a profession we are too often in the habit
of acting careleSsly, and fer that reason
doing things in way unsatisfactory TO
ourselves.
Our deceased brother was Just start
ing in the profession of his choice. We
of ripper years all know the difficulties
that surround the young lawyer. Dur
ing the first years of his studies his time
is spent in trying to master the great
science of the law. He is reading the
productions of the master hands of the
profession, many of them long since pass
ed away He sees around him living
lights of the profession that have arisen
by careful study and toll. The words of
the authors and success of members of
the profession around him incite him to
strive for preferment in his calling, and
in his zeal thinks he should be able to rise
to the top of his profession at one bound,
but that is not the way that the finally
successful lawyer travels but he reaches
the sumit by patient toll.
Older members of the bar have work
to do that should L OF b neglected They
cannot always ren ain b re, but in time
the younger members must take their
places and positions now heldby the older
members of the bar will soon b, filed by
those just starting in the profession, and
hence it is the duty of the older members
by all means in their power to assist
those just starting. The profession to
which we belong is an honorable one,
and our conduct towards each other and
the world should be such that our ex-
amples may be safely followed by those
that come after US.
Upon the conclusion of the remarks,
the Court ordered the Resolutions spread
upon the journal. The last sad tribute
of respect was paid to their departed
friend, and the business of the Court
was resumed.
