The day arrived. Ruth sat in her
room, waiting for the coming of the
man who had darkened her life.
"WheD dcnounce him." she unused,

for It,"
Ned arrived. Ruth heard his merry
laugh, and she laughed bitterly. She
wore rose In her hair, a rose which
she fancied came from the old garden.
When she descended the stairs and
caught glimpse of the company as
sembled in the parlor, she smiled.
She would give them piece of acting.
Without betraying her desperate in
tention, she stood beside Ned. The
minister advanced. Now was her time.
She trcmbled violently. The ceremony
was pronounced She had said Eyes.
She sat down when her friends had
congratulated her. When the people
were gone she threw her arms around
her husband and exclaimed:

Yes, the time for her revenge had

Law and Lawyers.

It cannot be supposed that every one
who appears in court OF justice pos
sesses that amount of familiarity with
his country's laws which would make
him tit or capable exponent of his
own cause, although there are some
chronic offenders who, by long exper.
| perience, have become as expert in
cheating the gallows and the jail,
as regularly ordained counsellor at
law.
Almost every person who attains
years of maturity, sooner or later, has
some cause which can be settled only
at the bar of justice, as, for instance,
when the matured person refuses to
comply with his promise 10 commit
matrimony, and refuses to meet his
other obligations.
The duties of a lawyer are not such
as can be discharged by one who is
unfamiliar with their requirements,
for the art of bullyragging witnesses
and throwing dust In the optics of the
jury is not as easy as might be sup
posed. 1t requires time to harden the
cheek OF the criminal lawyer to the
requisite degree of toughness.
AT all times the harvest of lawyers
has been abundant, and there is no
immediate reason for fearing that the
supply will diminish, as the crop is
not affected by late frost or drouth, or
the seventeen year locusts.
Laws are formed TO guide the good
and restrain the evil, but they do
neither the one nor the other, owing
to the skill with which the laws are
perverted by the lawyers, who get
themselves elected to the legislature,
where thay can mix up the laws so as
to promote litigation. Its apostles
and eXpounders should try above all
others to see its majesty maintained.
The fact that man is a lawyer does
not argue that he is wholly abandoned
that he has nothing in common with
his fellow man. Their interests are
identical with those of other citizens.
They cannot harm others without
sooner or later harming themselves.
Let the lawyer vindicate truth and
elevate his profession from the lab
rynths of past darkness.
The first duty of every citizen is to
his county. Law is the only profession
that reverses this maxim. The LAWYER
claims that his first and highest duty
is to his client. He has no desire
to see justice indicated; usually that
is precisely what he tries to prevent.
Since the days of Socrates this has
been legal maxim: 1.-THE advocate
should keep probability in view, and
say farewell to the truth" This is
little trying to tender susceptibilities,
but it is true. 1t is rather cruel
statement of the case, but lawyers
throughout the worlds history have
justified the remark. Few lawyers
ever make a speech at the bar that is
not full OF fallacies. The most brilliant
advocate and the most contemplate
shyster make common cause to
subvert the laws of their country

Education at West Point.

Adjt. Gen. Drum, of the army, thinks
that there is room for reform in the
system of education at West Point. He
would throw open the school to large
number of students and have only a
picked number of them actually APP
pointed into the army. He believes in
giving large number of students
military education and then in sending
them back to civil life, where they can
be useful as military professors at the
schools throughout the country in
helping to keep up the various militia
organizations, and in case of an emer-
gency could be relied upon for organ
izing and handling troops. The pres
ent system at West Point has tenden-
cy to make boy over into machine,
and to give him false notions of his
position in life. None of the boys
there are taught anything about their
own country. None of them come out
of there with any correct notions about
the character of this government.
Their after life in the army tends to
make them creatures of routine, ex-
cessively timid and conservative. ALI

army and gone back to civil life
