Good LAWYERS,

Some the most pious, the most con
secrated, the most consistent, the most
humbl5 Christians we have known per.
sOnally and intimately have been or are
now lawyers. We could name several
who have through long lives lived close
up to their Heavenly Father in sweet and
gracious communion. We say further
that many of the purest, noblest men we
have known-patriots in a high sense,
with lofty ideals and a morale compare
BILE to the best-were lawyers. They
were an ornament to their country and
the human race. We know some of this
kind who still survive.-Wilmington On.

women's Influence Over Men.

/ do not believe a man was ever re-
formed by scolding or sarcasm. Tears
and repinings and complaints soor grow
to be an old story to him. He can find
more pleasure among his c~onvivial com
panions than he finds in such a hcIue.
Alas, that it should be so.
Good women ought to study the art of
pleasing more than they do. No woman
can afford to fall back on her goodness
to reform a man. 1t is a dangerous cx-
pertinent and one that rarely succeeds.
The average man must be entertained.
A man who has been n hard drinker or
opium victim cannot suddenly give up
his vices without some stimulant to take
their place for a time. A man accus-
toned to the excitement Of gay company
cannot suddenly become satisfied with the
dullness and stupidity which many good
people allow to creep into their homes
