In the columns of the New York Gazetteer of Sept 8. 17S6. there was paragraph lamenting the increase of lawyers as threatening to the future prosperity of the community and de grading to freemen. An honest trade in former duys.' said the writer, twas all that people of common ability and education were ambitious of, but now no profession is genteel but the law yer and the merchant. The lawyers are now creeping into every post of importance and thrusting themselves wherever there is vacancy. Our con- gress. our assembly, are crowded with them, and even in our great commer- cial convention there are five lawyers to one merchant"

Curing the Bod Boy.

You remember the old fashioned wo man who when she heard her young son swearing or using naughty words washed his mouth In soapsuds. There is an Atchison boy who could not be re- formed in this way. SO his father took him in hand Every day his father called him in and said: "Now, your mother objects to those naughty words you use. but I. being man, like them Go over the list for me-" The boy promptly complied at first, but in few days he tired of the words and has now given up his list entirely.-Atchiso Globe.

The Mystery of Death.

Oh, death, how bitter is the thought of thee! How speedy thy approach! How stealthy thy stepsl How uncer- tain thy hour! How universal thy sway! The powerful cannot escape thee; the wise know not how to avoid thee; the strong have no strength to oppose thee; the rich cannot brfbe thee with their treasure. Thou art a hammer that always strikes, sword that is never dull, a net into which all fall, a prison into which all must en- ter, a sea on which all must venture, penalty which all must suffer, trfb- ute which all must pay. Oh, death, death! Implacable enemy to the hu- man race! Why didst thou enter into the world Luis de Granada.
