There . always something ... to . is amuse us, turn which ... way we will, always , something ... to , excite .. . our viS' il,k» look in ThntoTo. direction wo • may. So ... , 1 am ... like a Quaker, . when , tho , spirits . .. moves me l , act, and , the . . this . . . 1 . spirits move me evening, so will make tho effort although I said in my last, that 1 would keep stili lam impressed and feel tho force and effect of that old saying, “That if you have nothing to write about you had bettor keep quiet.” There is always somo one to give advice on almost any subject, and tho unsought advice is such general ly, as suits best tho inclination and feelings of the giver, without re gard to the effect of its logic, or the justness of its reason, one of tho best illustrations of this, that I have seer, in a long time, was a iottor of ad vice to the iarmcr of a certain coun ty in Georgia. This letter advised unity among tho farmers, after abus ing tho Agricultural society and wants the prohibition law, and the hurian repeated, and the inspection of fertilizers abolished, and not sat isfied with this makes great and serious charges against tho entire legal profession, by nuywg it won’t do to. trust them to mitke laws, be can so they will make only such as will increase litigation arid rendered to the lawyer’s benefit. Grave serious charges against a profession arc they sustained by the history of the past? Tho richest thing comes last, lie wants to knot# Congress wants to help the farmer. Why dont they increase tho export duty on cotton and allow cotton goods imported tree of duty? The fanner ebon Id unite and stand unit ed in everything that tends to their interest, hut they should not unite for tho purpose of making war on any other profession trade or calling and whenever or wherever they or any other trade, profession or call— idg unite for political purposes, ia ternoeiuo strife soon ensues, and •disintigration naturally and quickly lakes place. Every one has an in terest. in the prosperity of every body else, and wo are, in a measure, all of us dependent one upon anoth er. Having read Hr. Talmadges last talk about lawyers, 1 am re minded of tho common, but foolish idea, prevalent among tho unthink ing people, that lying is necessarily a part of tho business and practice of a lawyer. A foolish and aLsurd idea not founded on fact or experi ence, and not verified by tho con duct of the great majority of that honorable profession in this coun try. There is no more excuse nor is ho any moro called upon to vary from tho truth than is tho minister of the gospel, or the follower of any other honorable occupation. Reader, whenever you hear a man say that it is necessary for a lawyer to lie, tell him that in saying so he is on ly advertising his own ignorance; that tuat the tueiawyei biwvor who vno lies ins is is iinovcos- unexcos nblo amo justas hist -w mvu.ii much so so as is any -mv oneoU JS'o ^o one out will win toll tuia a lie i.o but uut a a coward cowaiu. Dr.Talmadgo in speaking ol tho prejudice that exists agaiust the le gal profession, “I account for it on tho single fact, that they compel! men to pay debts that they don’t want to pay, ami as long as that tho case, and it always will be, just so long there will ho classses men who w ill affect at any rate, despise tho legal profession. arc in that occupation as iu all oth era men utterly obnoxious to God and man, but if I were on trial for my integrity or my life, ami I wan ted even banded justice administer ed to me. 1 would rather havo my case submitted to a jury of twelve lawyers, than a jury of twelve clergymen. What I have said is not said in defense ol tlie legal pro fession, for 1 am not aware that any stand in need of defense; but solely for the purpose of trying to correct a popular error growing out of ig norance. The world lias ever had its lalse weights and measures men. From its genius, it has ever been filled w ith false Gods, in our own self, praising era false stand* n*. *h of t‘-.‘3l exec tierce outnumber hi society it is more the ii , 1 V •at of » son! that mtikes the man .<?•>. end more the style of a dross 1 Pan the sor.se of the woman that makes up that delightful sensation known as an impression. However much the head may hath if the heels are light its societies definition of grace. In this world the great b standard is dust, ’ that is gold V, dust: , A . man is called rosuonsiulo 1 . lfhe is . well to do *“ ^ “ n f I>“' * #»* " . .. euiiarly wealth. Any man can be helped bv public opinion to hobble * gold . , , headed , cane, there a oug ° on a * arc morc mentB . ,n * rich ohnroh member than was ever dreamed of in t!ic phisolophy of Heavon. If en terprising charitable and benevolent wealthy men they deserve praise for these virtues and for the intelli gence wh: -h amassed t> eii fortunes bat if t!ie opposite they are no moro use than so many pounds ot muds, and their money of no more use than so many pounds of hidden ore, and in no event, should wealth bo set u]i as a standard. But there must be weights and measurers, there must be standards and test. It must be one that can weigh all alike and impartially. It must the true weight, not tho false, and perhaps really the mind is the best standard of tho man. It Is the stand ard because it has to do with jvbat he is, not what ho seems. It not be put on. It is either there, or it is’nt and tbats an end on. it ought to be (bo standard because after nil mental powers arc most dependent for tho efficacy upon gifts of God To one may be given greater luck of brain, but to anotb or will bo given a fino fibre,-to another a better balance, and the great majority of men arc pretty level when it comes to measuring head; 1 . But it is mind in active that works, and whatever tho gift the acomjdi shin out depends on the effort to use it. This truth makes mental excellenee loss dependent on circumstances than any other. In the recess of mans own nature it either grows under his culture or withers under his neglect very near ly independent alike of fortune or fuse.
