EFFECTIVE ORATORY.
An Eloquent Appeal Which Made Brief.
less Lawyers Reputation.

Jonathan III. Pugh was n pale-faced
young lawyer. Day after day he sat
waiting. for clients, but none came.
The first term of court appeared and his
name had not appeared on the docket
AT that time my father was clerk of the
circuit court. One day there came tc
him poor, sad woman, who poured into
his ear pitiful tale of woe. a brother.
in-law had robbed her of all the proper.
ty left her by her dead husband. had op.
pressed and abused her. and was now
seeking to take from her care her only
child, a little girl three years old. My
father became deeply interested in the
woman and promised to help her. He
at once sent for Pugh. The young law
yer came and took charge of her case.
The poor woman's brother-in-law was
rich, and he employed the best of coun-
sci, and made every preparation in his
power to defeat her in court and subject
her to still greater oppression. He even
circulated the most slanderous stories
against her, and succeeded in totally de-
stroying her good reputation. This
story kindled the soul of Pugh, and he
went to work with a fierce determna-
tion to unmask the william. The day
for the trial arrived The neighborhood
was thoroughly aroused, and the old
courtroom was crowded with spec
tators. The sad and dreamy young
lawyer became another mana bold and
dauntless knight fighting for outraged
womanhood. He arose to speak. Tho
silence was painful. With master
hand he laid before court and jury the
work of the poor woman's oppressor.
The perjured witnesses withered be.
meath his fiery denunciation. Judge,
jurors and spectators bent forward to
listen. AS he told of the woman's
wrongs tears filled the eyes of all.
Then he turned from the weeping wo.
man to the author of her SORROWS, In
terrible language he expressed the vii
lainy of the man. Suddenly he faced the
victim OF his scorn, and pointing his
quivering fingers at him, exclaimed: You
have stolen from this poor woman all
her property. Not only this; you have
robbed her not only of her last dollar,
but of what is more precious than gold
-her good name. And now, with saw
age hands, you try to tear from her
arms her darling child. In the awful
hereafter you should not even be allowed
the miserable comfort of herding with
the common damned, but in some lower,
deeper hell be compelled, singly and
alone, to howl out an eternity OF woo."
AS Pugh reached this climax i fell
like bolt of thunder on the ears OF the
guilty man, and he rushed headlong
from the courtroom. Pugh's reputation
was made He was flooded with clients
and was at once one of tho busiest law
yers in town. n."-Springtield Qll.) State
