JUST FOR FUN.
Why Lawyers Go to Heaven; or,
Rather, Why They Don't
Go Elsewhere.

Knowing that there has beer
considerable doubt, in the mind
OF laymen, at least. as to tn,
future condition of the lega
profession, ! am herewith re
peating to you, as we'll as I ca1
from memory. a few lines OF
that very interesting subject
which were composed by an ole
friend of mine at the time ot
his admission to the bar in thu
state Of Michigan. some forty
years ago.. A. Markham, o1
the Independence (Wis.) Bar.
The devil came to the earth one
day..
And into a court room took his
way,
Just as a lawyer, with very
grave face,
Was proceeding to argue the
points in a case.
Now a lawyer his majesty never
had seen,
For to his dominion none ever
had been;
Its the fault Of my agents, .
his majesty thought.
That none of these lawyers
haye ever been caught. ~
And for his own pleasure he had
felt a desire
To come to the earth and the
reason inquire;
Now, when the first lawyer had
come to a close,
The counsel opposing him fear
lessly rose,
And heaped such. abuse on the
head of the first,
That he made him a villain, of
all men the worst.
Eachlclaimed he was right and
the other was wrong,
They spared and contended and
argued so long,
That, concluding he'd heard
enough of the fuss,
"Old Nick" turned away. and
soliloQuized thus:
They have puzzled the court
with their villainous cavil
And Pm free to confess they've
puzzled the devil.
My agents were right; let law
yers alone
If I had 'em, they'd euchre me
out of my throne. %
