HIS CHRISTMAS WISH.

For Christmas? You ask me what would
That SHOULD make all my life seem COM
l wait not for fancy to conjure and weave
The impossible gifts I would greet
with welcoming smiles IL they came to
But I'll tell you the Gift bespeak:
No jewel brought forth from some far
But wet little kiss on my cheek.
Outlines recall 1.-THE laugh in the dawn,
And the marveling gaze at the tree,
Then the two little arms of the child who
is gone,
As she clambered atop of my knee
And clasped me, and held me, and whs-
Dered the word
OF the gift that she gave. which was
And ! feigped my surprise, but my eyes
When my cheek felt the wet little kiss
Aye, that was treasure! No bauble Of
No rare Jewel, nor trinket OF worth
Could thrill me with JOY TO measure I'M
There is nothing you'll find on the earth
Would bring me the JOY that was mine in
When she lived. And the gift that I
crave
Is her smile as she looked at the tree in
And the wet little kiss that she gave.
For Christmas? For Christmas, want to
sit here
When the dawn sends it's first silver
CLEANS
And TO think of the light and the laughter
last year
And to picture her face in my dreams
Till out from the silence that holds us
apart
Shall be given the boon that seek:
The warmth of her arms, and the thrill OF
my heart.
And her wet little kiss on my cheek.

PRIZES or THE BRITISH BAR.

High Salaries and Large Fortunes Are
the Rule.
The Lord High Chancellor Of Great
Britain is second only in position to
the Archbishop of Canterbury, and he
enjoys an income of 10000 a year.
The Lord Chief Justice of England has
salary of $4,000 year. The Mas
ter of the Rolls has a salary of $4,000
year. and the Lords Of Appeal in Or
dinary have the same. The lord JUS
tees of the Court of Appeal and the
judges of the High Court earn $4,000
year each. The masters of the High
Court are chosen eitherffrora barris-
ters or from solicitors, but all the
other oficeholders to whom we have
alluded must have come from the bar.
The Attorney General makes much
more money than any of these digni-
taries. His salary is only 81 1000, but
he has fees as well. sometimes TO a
very large amount. The Solicitor Cen
eral has $4,000 year besides his
fees. OF course, the double work, le-
sal and parliamentary. which these
officers have to undertake is most ar
duous, requiring an iron constitution
and mind that requires but little
tlrae for rest. The private practition-
ers in some few cases make larger in
comes than any of the official persons
at the bar. It is not. indeed. many
who make salaries of five figures, but
there may be always one or two lead
ers who are achieving this. The lead
ers who are chiefly before the public
in ordinary cases do not often make
more than from $4,000 to 10000 q
year. Larger fortunes are frequently
made by men who specialize in pat
eat cases. who are engaged in rating
appeals and compensation work, or
who practice their profession at the
parliamentary bar-Cornhill Ma~~a
