With his marble block before h_:im
And his face lit up with a smile of joy,
As an angel dream passed 6’er VVhim ,
He carved the dream on that shapeless
stone,
With many a sharp' 1ncision ,
With heaven’s own light the sculpture

He had cangbt the 'ai1g'el' vision.

Sculptors of life are we, as we stand
With our s0u19,-tincarved, before us,

Waiting. the hour, when at God’s command,

If We carve it their 'on the yielding stone,
With many a sharp incision,

If heavenly beauty shall be our own,
Our lives that angel vision.

“011, not My old empress cloth dye‘d

“ Oh i" said Miss Tattle-and that Oh!

Anna received it in silence, but after a
moment said: "‘It is not pleasant to be

'obliged to economize so ;' but there is" no
help fer it.”

“ I am sure,” said Miss Tuttle, “you have
more elegant clothes than I. Where you
contrive to get them 'I don’t know.”

What do you think of that for pure malice
and envy ? It takes a woman to say such
things: Miss Tuttle in in the hig'est society;
thinks herself ‘a lady. and calls herself a
Christian! But she said it! I heard heri
It 'does not sound well to repeat, and it
would not look well on paper.

I can tell you another experience which
I have-up to this time kept to myself.- It
happened last summer when we were up in
the country boarding with Miss 'Girder.
One day she told us that a lady, an old
school-mate, was coming on a brief visit.
The house was full, and she was under the
necessity of making some change in the
sleeping arrangements. She gave up her
own room and 0the1w1se “put herself out,”
as housekeepers say, for the comfort of the
expected guest.

When the latter arrived,some of us noticed
that she expressed no pleasure at the ap-
peuranee of the house or grOunds‘, or any-V
thing else. And it struck me that: finding.
her old acquaintance better situated than
herself, or than she had expected, her envy
was roused and she was determined not to
praise anything or even approve. Certainly
no other construction could be put on her
manners or conversation that evening. She
seemed anything but a friend—the most un-
gracious of guests; and yet she too was a
lady, a scholar, and a Christian.

The next morning as Mrs. Burt—that was
her name—seated herself at the breakfast
table, Our hostess. asked if she had slept
well.

“I can’t say that I did particularlwaell ;’1
with spitefel emphasis on the Second sylla-
ble. .

Of course the mistress of the house was
covered with confusion; and she began to
explain about the mattresses having become
matted and uneven.

“I sleep Onahair mattress at home,” said
Mrs. sententiously; and that settled the
matter. But the enormity of her rodeness
be'ca'm'e more apparent to us when, after-
wards, it came out in her conversation with
one of the lady boarders that she was never
a good sleeper.

ThisWas only the beginning of things.

She seemed to bake a special small spite .

towards her hostess, on account of her being
happy and well situated, To the rest of us
she wasV.graciousI~ and lady-like, agreeable
in bHillier ways's‘n'a words; but towards
Miss Girder in a constant state of antago-
stem, which broke out in the most uncivil
things that ever were said. If that lady
liked a person who happened to be named,
the other 1111111161; she found some fault
with 111111115 Girder’ s friends, and approved
of nothing proposed by her. Little wouls
of disparagement, small slurs, harsh judge-
mcril,-£nult-findrng, seeing a flaw in every-
thing", characterized h'er remarks.

On the second morning no one asked her
had she slept. She might have sat in her

chair: all night, for ought any of us knew Or'

cared. But the breakfast was not allowed
to pain without something unpleasant being

that her guests appreciate her food—light,

enjoying the sensible meal when we became
aware that our difficult cempanion was re-
fusing everything offered her.

‘° What i no rolls? They are so nice 1”

“No. I thank you! I never eat warm
bread.”

Upon which Miss Girder, having heard
the prefer and refusal, rung for cold bread,

Would she take a potato, asked the Lame
gentleman; they were “done to a 'dot, ” he
said

She would take an egg.

Our hostess remarked that these had been
in the water four minutes—they m1ghtV be a
triflehard. V V VV

“Three minutes and a half is the rule,"
was the rejoiner from the guest, who Vpro-
seeded to slowly eat the" egg with the air of
one who knew she was hastening her own
death by doing it.‘

The feeling of the company was expressed
by one of the gentlemen, 'who was over-
heard asking another:

“Is not that rather a hatefnl woman ‘1’
Seems to me I would have eaten breakfast
if I had known It would kill me. ” .

At noon there were tomatoes on the table
—the first of the season; and very'early it
was too; and they were uncommonly fiITnVe
ones. Miss Girder had saved them on pur-
pose for her guest, and said at the table that
they had never raised any so early as these.

“We had them two Weeks ago.”

That was rather Va' drawback; but Miss'
Girder persevered, and added that they
had never planted this kind before, but were
sure they should like them best of any.

"Have you e‘ had the Trophy?” de-
manded Mrs. Bur-t. “We used to. haye
the kind you have here, but the Trophyis
so much better that we never'sow the others
at all now.”

I might go on. I might tell you fifty
'things that you would hardly believe a wo-
man would say to another, much less to her
hostess.

After about a week of this, she announced
that one of her family had been taken sick,
and her brother had sent 1111 her, and she
had replied that she would be at home by.
such‘ a train, and he w'as'to meet her. This
arrangement the venerable grandfather of
our hostess knew nothing about; and beiug
a most ho'apitable'old gentleman, when' he
found that'eh'erw'as going away,‘he began to
urge her to stay longer.

“I think I’d better go.”

upon by a restless, ambitious, worldly
church-member who was laboring 'to create
uneasiness in_ the church, and especially
to drive 11wa the preacher.

The deacon came 'in to meet his visitbr,
who, after the usual greetings, began to
lament the low state of re11g1on and inquire
as to the reason why there had been no re-
vival for two or three years past.

, “Now, what do you think' is the cause of
things being dull here? Do you know I"
he persisted 1n asking.

The deacon was not ready to give his
opV1nIion; and, .aftera little thought, frankly
answered, “No, I don’t. "

“Do you think the church are alive to the
work before them t"

“No, I don’ t.- "

“Do you think the minister fully realizes
the solemnity of his work 1’”

“No, I don’ t. ”

Profe's'slos'r'nl Ineomoe or; New 'Yo‘rk
Lawyers. ..

Among those Who reap a handsome
harvest out of the recent panic the legal
fraternity stands pre-eminent. .An immense
increase of'litig'ation has been its inevitable
result; Every-merChant, banker or broker
who Was'in'trVOubls was Oblige'dto retain a
lawyermand in many instances more than
one; For instance, the Grinnell bankruptcy
case, when: it firsLapp‘ared before Judge
Blatchford, brought six well-paid lawyers
into ecurt; The fees required by these men
on such“ occasions w0uld not 'be less than
$10,000, 'a'n'd the .'cost of the entire Grinnell
suit will probably eqUal five times that sum.
This may seem like a large estimate, but it
is to be remembered that the secdrities
which this house held were $12, 000,,000
and the amount at stake always has a bear-
ing 011- the legal charges; .

Our best lawyers value their time frOm
$40 to $50 per hour, which is a reasonable
charge. By a consultation with one of
these men you can in an hour obtain an
opinion which is worth fifty times the
amount of the fee. If however, the case 2be
one where a half million is‘ at'stake,"then_,
instead ofa mere fifty, you will be expect-V
ed to advance a retaining fee of $506, or
peihaps $1, 000. This prevents any one
from securing the services of the lawyer
thus retained If a lawyer, even after. re-
ceiving such a fee, should win the case, he
will expect from $10,000 to $15,000uddi-
tional. Our great lawyers demand: pay
commensurate with their reputation,'...and'-
hence score of them can boast a practice
worth $50,000 per year. O’Connor, previous
to his retirement, made annually, it is said,
nearly'four times that sum. Indeed,'~'_he
was probably paid $200,000101 his o'er-Vices
in the J umel case. He is now Worth; more
than 'a million, all of I which he has Ima'dc

ride to see him. It was evening when I-
ar1ived, and his wife wi%e spirit which
any woman ought to ex it toward one
who had so wronged her husband, denied
me admittance to his chamber. She said,
and her words were arrows to my soul,
‘He may be dying, and the sight of your
face might add to his anguish !’
“Had it come to this, I said to myself,
that the man whose labors hold, through
Christ, brought me into his fold, who had
consoled my spirit :in a terrible bereave-
ment, and who had, till designing men had
alienated us, been to me as a brother—that
this man could not die in peace with my
face before him? ‘God pity me !’ I cried,
'w'hat have I 'done 1’ I confessed my sins to
that meek woman, and implored her for
Christ’s sake to let me kneel before his
dying servant, and receive his forgiveness.
What did I care then whether the pews by
the door were rented or not? I would
gladly have taken hiswhole family to my
home forever as my own flesh and blood,
but no such-happiness was in store for me.
“As I entered the room of the blessed
warrior, whose armor was falling from his
limbs, he opened his languid eyes, and said,
‘Brother Lee! Brother Lee 2’ I bent over
him and sobbed out, ‘My pastor! my
'pathori Then raising his white hand, he
' sa1d1n a deep 1mpressive voice, ‘Touch not
mine anointed, and do, my prophets no
harm!‘ I spoke tenderly'to’ him, and told
'himl had come' to confess my sin, and
bring some othis fruit to him calling my
son to tell him how he had feund Christ.
But he was unconscious of all around; the
eight of my face had brought the last pang
of earth to his troubled spirit.

“I kissed his brow, and told: him how

dear he had been to me'; I craved his par-
don for my unfaithfulness and promised
to care for his ~wid0w and fatherless little
ones; but his only reply, murmured as if in
a troubled dream, was, ‘Touch not mine
anointed, and do my‘prophets no ‘harm.’
: “I stayed bthim all night, and at day-
break I closed his eyes. I- offered his widow
a house to live in the remainder of her days;
but like a heroine she said, I freely forgive
you. But my children, who entered deep-
ly'into. their father’s anguish, shall never
see me so regardless of his memory as to
take anything from those who caused it.
He has left us all with his covenant G011,
and he will care for us. ’

“Well, sir, those dying words sounded in
my ears from' that coflin and from that
grave. WhenI slept, Christ stood before
my dream, saying, ‘Touch not mine anoint-
ed, and do my prophets no harm.‘ These
'words followed me till I fully realized the
esteem in which Christ holds those men
who had given up all for his sake, and I
vowed to love them evermOre for his sake,
even if they are not perfect. And since
that'day, sir, I have talked less than before,
and have supported my pastor, even if he
is not a ‘very extraordinary man.’ My
tongue shall cleave to the roof of my mouth,
and myfright hand forget her cunning, be-

sweat, and for an hear he would have al-
most a lifeless appearance. The speaker
declared there was not another- substance
that would have such an effect by simply
chewing it and ejecting every particle of
juice. _.Dr Lewis then proceeded to speak
of the various methods of using tobacco.

Lewis said it' was a horrible thought for a
man to sit down to write abeut Jesus and

light his pips for inspiration. He thought
it would be far better for him to go without
his supper. The speaker then glided into a
discussion of the general rules of health, es-_
pecially touching upon the subjet 0f eating.

Most clergyman, he said, eat too much, and
he urged that they should eat a hearty
breakfast of beefstsak, a light dinner of oat-
meal porridge, and go without their supper,
as he had done for two years. He spoke of
the importance of a daily bath, telling how
it should be taken. He poked firn at the
metallic coma that‘ is considered necessary
{01 a bath tub, and said the best waywas to
to take mittens made of old towels, wet
them, rub on plenty of soap, and then rub
ones self down thoroughly. He said that
four spoonftllIs of water is sufficient for s
baths, and urged his hearers not to be afraid
of soap. He then spoke of walking, declar-
ing that is the best gymnastics, and in tell-

as women do. Tire whole secret of walking
properly, he said, lays in these four words,
“chin close to neck.”
he said the- diet should consist of only six
articles -beef, mutton, b1ead, potatoes, oat
meal and cracked wheat. A man with good
teeth ought not to drink when eating,but as
very few have good teeth, he thought a cup,
of coffee was advantageous, but he said he
would put a spoonful of fluid coffee into a

first arising from bed and just before retiring
for the night. ' "

The address of the doctor was listened to
with great interest, and a large number of
questions were propounded by the ministers.

now Nice It Is robe a Supreme Cour-i
J sluice.

 

Colonel Forney writes that the judges or
justices of the Supreme Court are rather
jovial, with all their gravity. They are
asked everywhere, and go everywhere
that is proper. A sort of divinity hedges
them around abo'ut. They are first at every
State occasion, or neatlyfirst. They are
welcome figure-heads at weddings. They
dominate at great dinners. They decorate
receptions and balls. A justice or a chief
justice at a party in Washington is like a
prince at a drawing room in London, or a
cardinal in Rome. They flutter‘ 1n and out
of the Senate with a sage and solemn air of
possession. I think it is in evidence that
they often condescend to sherry and chain.

pagne, and I tear that Grier and Nelson ex-
ceptionally condescend to old rye and.
whisky. The whole nine affect the drama.

John Marshall undoubtedly shed tears over
Fanny Kemble, just as the eminent Penn-
sylvania Chief Justice, John Bannister Gib-
son, idolized 01d Joseph Jefi'erson. Davis,
of Illinois, and Swayne, of Ohio, Miller, of
Iowa, and Clifl‘ord, of Maine, do not deny
their weakness for a good opera or ballet,
and'Joseph Story, like Caleb Cashing, en-
jOyed a good novel, and wrote some very
fair poetry when he was a young man.

So that there are many reasons why a
statesman who has got through with other
offices should aspire to round his career by
a 'ss'at on the velvet cushions of the Supreme
Beach. It is for life. It is a social power.
I 's a cosy lookout on pelitics. It' 1s a solid
d1gnity. It is not an exhaustive labor
The salary' is good, and never touched ex-
cept' to be raised. As the law- rs the royal
profession' in this country, so a place“ in the
Supreme Court is the only royal laurel that
can be placed on the American lawyer’s

brow.
