LAWYERS.
Few Remarks About the Most fruste
and Distrusted of Men.

Few Remarks AbOut the Most Trusted
and Distrusted of Men.
They are the men who make con-
tracts AMI unmake them; who gives ad-
vice and sell counsel; who make money
out of trouble and make trouble out of
money: who create estates and distrib-
ute them legally; who live by Ioaning
money and often subsist on borrowe, /
capital; who hear and conceal marriage
secrets. and later drag out faded love
letters in bitter divorces: who are
pleased and persuaded by the LUCKY,
but often go out of court branded and
dispraised by the side de,catcl-and,
with one side always the loser. and
generally both. what wonder that The
slurs of character fall to the current lot
OF a lawyer!
Without the smiles of the merchant s
customers. he meets the frowns of bust
ness men in trouble. Fortunes are to
be saved or lost. He must win the vic
tory or bear the blame forever. The
lawyer is Ike the builder who knows
that, be it ever so perfect, the elaborate
house he has finished can never quite
suit the proprietor
He carries the double burlen for self
and client; is invited 10 win what others
have failed in, urged to mend the
broken pieces of a foolish contract,
bound to account for confessions in let
tiers. asked to replevin goods already
secrcted, to attach the effects # ma
liciOus merchant, to unearth fraudl-
lent leCtiOnS, to reclaim encountered
estates from veXatious tax-titles, to keep
one for years in plenty by restored pos
sessions and broken wills-all by a
lawyers art and eloquence!
He is fated from the start to uncer-
taintv, where clients exact no less than
absolute victory and long wish it rca
,sonable. while they know it is only
probable. By logic and argument, on
the theory of their client, with the facts
only partially stated, and that part
deeply shaded, they are to explain away
their defeat, if it come in the end, by a
TRADE on the perjury Of opponents wit
nesses and the dcpravity of human ma
turc.
Happy lawyers! They are men who
live SO easily, flourish so long on TIE
bounty of grateful people. make the
laws and settle the titles, defend the
weak and enjoy the rich fruits of the

commingled in such rare harmony that

none afforded him more gratifca-

that if the prayers and good wish

honor and respect him could avail,
he would conquer the dread an

just as triumphantly as he over
came the antagonists with whom
he contended twenty years ago.
