and with a mild relaxation of the fea-

which read as follows:

social obligation to converse with the

GAINESVILLE, Ten, Aug. 12.-This
evening while two boys, aged twelve
and eight years, were returning from
Elm creek with barrel of water, a
a mob of mischievous boys met them
and proceeded to dismount the boys
and take possession themselves.
Meeting some resistance, it was neces-
sary to resort to force to carry out
their design. In the scuflle the
dump pin of the cart was drawn and
the barrel Of water upset, fallin &
across ditch in which one of the
little boys had fallen, and he barely
escaped death. The other boy was not
hurt very badly save some few
scratches, but it was only miracle
that both were not killed outright.

a LAwYER's MORALS.

Some Points for the Profession to SfHdy
The Ccsalgy for November has sn editorial
under the head OF Lawyers Morals,'' from
which the following points are quoted:
~. A lawyer ought 10 be q gentleman
His functions as an attorney gives him no
dispeusation to disregard the ordinary rules
Of good manners, and the ordinary principles
of decency and honor. he has no right to
SANDER his neighbor, even il his ueighbor be
the defendant in a cause IN which he appears
for the plaintiff. He has no right TO bully or
brow beat witness in cross-examination, or
artfully TO entrap that witness into giving
false testimony. Whatever the privilege of
the court may he, the lawyer who is guilty
of such practices in court is no gentleman
out of court.
80. A lawyer ought not TO lie. He may
defend criminal whom he knows TO be
guilty, but he may not say to the jury that
he believes this crimif al to De innocent.
He NAV not in any way Intentionally
convey TO the jury the impression that
he believes the man TO be inuocent. He
may not, in his plea, pervert or distcrt the
evidence so As to weaken the force or con-
ceal the meaning OF II. he is sworn officer
of the courl, and his oath should bind him to
the strictest veraciiy. It would be quixotic
to expect him 20 assist his adversary, but his
obligation to speak the truth outranks every
obligation that he owes TO his client. II is
notorious that some lawyers who would think
il seandalous TO tell falsehoOd out Of court,
in any business transaction, lie shamelessly
in court in behalf OF their clients. aud seem
to think it part of their professional duty
That har Of justice before which, BY their pro-
fessional obligations, they are bound TO the
most stringent truthfulness, Is the very place
where they seem TO consider themselves alb
solved from the common law Of yeracity. So
long as the legal mind Is infected with this
deadly heresy, we need not wonder that our
courts of justice often become the instru-
ments Of unrighteousness.
80. A lawyer ought MOTTO selb his services
for the promotion Of Injustice and knavery.
Swindlers OF ali types are aided by lawyers
in their depredations upon society. The
mock broker who operates In Wall street,
and strips green country spectators Of their
hard-earned gains by the most .Hefarious
rcguery, always has an able LAWYER as his
sccomplice. The gentleman by whose
agency nest Of these rascals was lately
broken up says; ''The great difficulty In

The Rrftfnn nLood.

The elder Hawthorne is reported to have
said that he felt sense of guilt in writing
from mood. Therein it appears that there
was vast difference between his literary
conscience and that of Mr.. An
thony Trollope for instance. Yet
no writer we venture to say ever pro-
duced anything worth reading, unless he felt
in the humor for writing and wrote con
amore. Even if the author is not in mood
when he undertakes to write, he speedily gets
into one, having formed determination to
do so, and acting upon it. 1t is notorious
that Sheridan, the gifted author of ''School
for Scandal" wrote frequently, indeed we
may say, unusually, from such a mood, the
latter part of the very play which has given
him his most enduring reputation, being
composed in a room with the door locked on
the outside by an irate manager who took
this method Of securing its production. This
was certainly mood with vengeance, but
We could hardly say judging the result by
its literary quality, which is the test after all,
that either manager or author was guilty in
the matter, except the former perhaps of un-
due forbearance and the latter Of unpardon.
