some Suggestions, the worldly wisdom
Of which could not be doubted, falling
ss they did from the lipsof warrior
and statesman, whom King Georye was
graciously pleased to honor With a
baronetcy in reward for victory which
was saved from disaster by his lieuten-
ant, after his gallant chief had retired
from the field with slight wound,
which was, however, OF shtlcient impor-
tance 70 be mentioned in the dispatches
announcing the defeat and capture OF
Dieskan at Grown Point. In fact, the
lion skin being too short, the epidermus
Of the fox was made available TO eko out
the deficiency, with the happicst results
10 the wearer thereof.
Charles Selwyh was about twenty-five,
tall, 'brown-haired, gray-eyed, with Q
resolute mouth and thoughtful yet
cheerful expression. aa
The room was large with no attempt
at adornment, unless the stags' antlers
and other trophies OF the chase suspend
ed on the walls could be counted as
such A few bear skins scattered on the
floor served the purpose Of mats and, at
pinch, beds, when guests were numer-
Gus; and the blazing logs gave all the
light that was needed on winter nights.
1t was, in short, the great hall and re-
'ception-roon OF an American manor
house, rude and inelegant to European
eyes, but quite in harmony with the
genius and the requirements Of the
hardy pioneers Of new nation. A table
strewed with books and manuscripts
gave evidence, however, that the light
Of eighteenth century intelligence was
not quite excluded by the forest shade.
From this object Sir William glanced at
the face Of his nephew.
Dreams, dreamsl Charles" he said,
with an impatient gesture, well enough

Thou art not lacking in the soldier
blood OF thy race, boy, else would not

King George is not niggard OF his
favors to those who deserve them. Tho
laurel on the hero's brow is nobler than

The young man was not as much i'm
pressed by this rhetorical speech as his
supposed. He was not al
together a book-worm, having served
under Sir William in the gallant affair
II Lake George, where the French and
Indians under Baron Dieslan were de-
'eated by the provincial troops. Per-
laps the youth knew, better than the
English home government, how small

This term is used in the legal profess

printed in black-letter, as are also the
abridgments Of tho law by Fitzherbert,
Brooke, and others Tho language is
usually the Norman-French. The legal
dry-as-dust OF black-letter lawyer was
supposed TO look with contempt on mod
ern treatises and reports. His well Of
knowledge was Uncommon law, pure and
undefiled by modern legislation. A type
Of the black-letter lawyer was Sergeant
HILL The story goes that on the morning
OF the day appointed for his wedding the
Sergeant went down TO his chambers as
usual, and, becoming immersed in o
case, forgot his appointment at the
church. The bride waited so long that
II was feared tho canonical hour would
elapse before his arrival. A messenger
was dispatched 10 require his immedi-
ate attendance Ho obeyed the sum-
mons, and having become o husband,
returned again to his business. About
dinner time his clerk, suspecting that
be had forgotten the proceedings Of tho
morning, ventured 10 recall them to his
recollection. Fortunately the sergeant
had at that moment discovered the case
for which he had boon bunting. and no
returned home to spend the evening In
o gaycr circlo. (Woolrych's Ser
geants," H., 637.) The black.letter law

seemed TO help him TO bear the pain.
