THE HISTORY OF RASSELAS,
PRINCE OF ABYSSINlA.
CHAPTER XVIII.

The Prince .ind>d Wis and Happg .HtH.
As he was one day walking in the
street. he saw a spacious building. which
all We're. by the open doors. invited to
enter: he followed the stream of people
and found it hall or school of dccla-
nation. in which professors read lectures
to their auditory. He fixed his eye
upon Il sage raised above the rest. who
discoursed with great energy on the gov
eminent of the passions. His look was
venerable. his action graceful. his pro-
nunciation clear. and his diction elegant.
He showed. with great strength of Senti-
ment and variety of illustrations that hui
man nature is degraded and debascd
when the lower faculties predominant
over the higher; that when fancy.
the parent of passion. u>urps the
dominion of the mind. nothing enSueS
but the natural effect of unlawful
government, perturbation. and con-
fusion: that she betrays the fortresses
of the intellect to rebels. and eXcites her
children to sedition against reason. their
lawful sovereign. He compared reason
to the sun. of which the light is constant,
uniform, and lasting: and fancy to me-
teor. of bright but transitory lustre, ir-
regular in its motion, and delusive in its
direction.
He then communicated the various
precepts given from time to time for the

important victory, after which man is
no longer the slave of fear, nor the fool
of hope: is no more emaciated by envy.

derness, or depressed by grief: but walks
on calmly through the tumults or priva-
cies of life, As the sun pursueS alike his
his course through the calm or the
stormy sky.
He enumerated many examples of
heroes immovable by pain or pleasure,
who looked with Indifference on those
modes or accidents to which the vulgar
give the names of good and evil. He eN-
horted his hearers to lay aside their pre-

state only was happiness, and that thi,
happiness was in cveryonc'S power.
RasSelaS listened to him with the ven

A New wrinkle for Lawycrs.

Several of the ingenious lawyers whose
talents are mainly devoted to the arduous
task of convincing juries in the civil courts,
have lately discovered what is regarded as
a great addition to their resources. The ad-
dition is technically known as IS smiler
1t consists Of young gentleman, of gentle
and progressing appearance, with bland
ard ingenious expression Of cOuntenance,
who takes his seat near the pr 'ncipal and
facing the jury he usually takes notes or
does some other little service Of a similar
character, which furnishes a preteXt for his
being there. His actual business, however,
is to accentuate the points made by the law
yer whom he is assisting, particularly the
humorous points If his colleague makes
Joke or says something which is supposed
70 be witty, or the lawyer on the other side
is "sat down upon' by the judge, the
"smiler" turns to the jury and displays his
teeth in captivating grin. This line of
conduct is supposed to establish a sympathy
or community Of interest between him and
the jurymen, which predisposes the latter
to view favorably the side for which he is
smiling. Philadelphia Times.
