HOrA A LAwYER's BRIEF.
One day an aged millionaire

One day an aged millionaire
Fell most extremely Ill,
With meurnlui air his mournful heirs,
They begged he'd mako his will.
And sweetly acqaiescent, he
Dispatched for Mr.. Wright,
To write the docu ment, and then
Expired that very night.
His kin, with sighs of wondrous size,
Remarked that life is brief,
Ard WED with one another In
Displaying violent grief;
and when the last sad notes were Ger,
With one accord they went
To hear the proper person road
His latest testament.
The ready lawyer read aloud
Tho different bt quests,
While very various feelings swolled
Within the listeners breasts.
And aano resolved with energy
To b-e 'k that unjust will,
Az d sCme res lived with equal zeal
Its w!thts to iu fill.
So those who held the will was right
Secured Lawyer Nab,
And those opposed, the service OF
The smart attorney. Grab;
And now the poor afflicted ones,
Plunged in, o legal strife,
No loIger shed their tears for death,
but let them how for life.
To toll you how the quarrel grew
vii, no. even try;
The poetry OF pros and cons
Is tedious aid drv.
Know they argued high and low,
Tho usual oaths they ewore,
And all the cases cited that
Were ever tried before.
Time passed, and these contestants strov
with still Increasing rage,
Uatu the latest litigant
Was bowed with care and age;
'Till Death, with coldest disregard,
Gut short thoir arguments.
Allowing plaintiffs no appeal,
DESCENDANTS no defcnee.
Also at last the lawyers died,
And, with n solemn face,
The undertaken gravely said
Lilo here and try my easel"
And thus close my simple tale,
with which I'd he content,
Could l but teil-what no one knows
Which way the money went.
