It seems bat tto hail a friend who was a barrister by profession. His name was Zenas, and he wanted'to-see him. Perhaps he had formed the axMiunint- • aneeol this lawyer in the courtroom. lPer- haps sometimes, when he wanted to ask ■ some ijuestion in regard to Roman law. he went to this Zenas the lawyer,, .lit any rate, he had a warm attachment (for the man, and he provides for his comfortable escort and entertainment as he writes to Titus, “Bring Zenas the lawyer.” This man of my text belonged tom pro- fession m which are many ardent suppor- ters of Christ and the gospel, among them Biackstone, lish the great commentator on Eng- law, and Wilberforee, the emancipator, and the late Benjamin F. Butler, attorney- general Ohauncey, of New York, and the late Charles the leader of the Philadelphia bar, and Chief Campbell Justices Marshall add Ten- terden and and Sir Thomas More, who died for the truth on the scaffold, say- ing to his aghast executioner: “Pluck up courage, man, and do your duty. My neck io nJt strike aw^.” ar “ ,aJ ’ iti>etetoie ' and Among the mightiest pleas that ever have been made by tongue of barrister have been pleas in behalf .Of the Bible and Christianity, as when Daniel Webster stood in the Supreme Court at Washington plead- ing in the famous Girard will case, de- pie nouncing any attempt to educate the peo- without giving them at the same time moral sentiment as “low. ribald and vulgar deism and infidelity;” as when Samuel L. Southard, of New Jersev, the leader of the forum in his day, stood on the platform at Princeton college commencement advocat- ing the literary excellency oi the Serin- lam" tures’as when Edmund Hastings’, Burke in the ous trial of Warren not only in behalf of the English government, but in behalf of elevated morals, closed his speech in the midst of the most august assemblage ever ing? gathered in Westminster hall by say “I impeach the House Warren Hastings in the name of of Commons whose national character he has dishonored; I impeach him in the name of .the people of India, whose rights and liberties he has eubverted; human I impeach him in the name of nature, which he lias disgraced. In the name of both sexes, and of every rank and. of every station and of every Bituation in the world 5 I impeach ^ Warren Hastings” that Yet,-notwithstanding lias all the pleas which profession made in behalf of God and the church and the gospel and the rights of man, there has come down through the generations among many peo¬ ple it. an So absurd long and wicked in the prejudice time of against Olivet ago as Cromwell it was decided thiit lawyers might not enter the parliament honseas members, and they were called “sozmi of Zeruiah.” The learned Dr. Johnson wrote an epitaph for one of them‘in these words: God works wonders now and then.

Ihavofou.d them to.ail my parishes. I tarried in one of theor.offices for three years, where thoro criminal came real estate lawyers, insurance lawyers, have lawyers, marine lawyers, and I yet to find a class of men more genial or moreatraiightforward. There, are ln that ccupation,atsin.nll our occupations, men utterly obnoxious to God and man, but If 1 were on trial for my integrity or my life and I wanted even handed justice administered to me I would rather have my case submit¬ ted to a jury o-f twelve lawyers than to a jury of twelve cleicgymen. The legal pro¬ fession, I believe., has less violence of preju¬ dice than is, to be £o,und in the sacred call- ing. There is, however, no man who has more temptations or graver responsibilities than the barrister, and he who attempts to dis- charge the duties of his position witn only earthly resources is making a very great mistake. Witness the seores of men who have in that profession made eternal ship. •wreck. Witness the men who, with the law of the land under their arm, have vio- lated .every statute of the eternal God -Witness .the men who have argued pli cidlv before earthly tribunals, who shall shiver is dismay before the Judge of quick and dead.

While I would have you bring the merchant to Christ, and while I would have you bring the. farmer to Christ, -and while I would have you bring the mechanic to Christ. I address yoit now in the words oi Paul to Titus, ‘Bring Zenas the lawyer.” By so much as his duties nre delicate and great, by so much does he need Christian, stimulus and safeguard.

There are two or three forms of tempta- «<>« to which the legal profession is espe- ,iall y object. The first of all is skepticism, “ ontrovers y is the lifetime business of that Controversy may be Incidental accidental with us, but with you it is You get so used to pushing the questio n “Why?” and making un- tided reason superior to the emotions that religion of Jesus Christ, which is a sim- matter of faith, and above human rea- although not contrary to it, has but chance with some of you. A brilliant wrote a book, on the first page of he announced the sentiment, “An God is the noblest work man.” Skepticism is the might¬ temptation of the legal profes- and that man who can stand that profession, resisting all solicita¬ to infidelity, and can be as brave as Briggs of Massachusetts, who from the gubernatorial chair to missionary convention, to plead the of a dying race, then on his way from the convention, on a cold day, off his warm cloak and threw it over shoulders of a thinly clad missionary, “Take that and wear it; It will <io more good than it will me,” or, like McLean, who cau step from the su¬ court room of the United States on the anniversary platform union, of the Ameri- Sunday-school its most power¬ orator, deserves congratulation and en¬ O men of the legal profession, let me beg of you to -quit asking questions in regard to religion and begin believing! The mighty men of your profession, Story and Kent and Mansfield, became Christians, not through their heads., but through their hearts. “Except ye become as a little child ye shall In no wise enter -.the kingdom of God.” If you do not become .a Christian, O man of tile legal profession, until you can reason this whole thing oat in regard to God and Christ and the immortality oi the soul, you will never become a Christian at all. Only believe. “Bring Zenas the lawyer.” Another mighty temptation for the legal . breaking. The profession is Sabbath trial has bean going on for ten or fifteen days, The evidence is all In. It is Saturday night. The judge’s gavel fails on the desk, anrt 1,0 ’ a v? - “Crier, adjourn the eourt until . Monday morning.” On Mondaj 10 o’clock morning the counselor is to sum up the case, Thousands of dollars, yea. the reputation and life of his client, may depend upon th( success of his plea. How will he spend tip intervening Sunday? '1 here is not one law- yer out of a hundred that can withstand thi temptation to break tbe Lord’s day undei such circumstances. And yet if he does hi hurts his own soul. What my brother, yoi cannot do before 12 o'clock .Saturday night o: after 12 o’clock Sunday Eight God does not want you to do at all. Besides that yoi; want the 24 hours of Sabbath rest to givi >' ou ‘'-at electrical and magnetic form which will be worth more to you befori the jury tktin all the elaboration ol your ease on t&.e altered day. My intimate and lamented friend the late Judge Neilson, In his irftftrestlng reminiscences of Rufus Choate, says that during the last ease that gentleman tried In New York the eourt adjtfkrned from Friday until Monday on aeoeaut ot the illness of Mr. Choate, but the chronicler says that on the intervening Sabbath he saw Mr. Choate In the old ' Brink church,” listening to the Rev. Dr. ftnrdiner Spring. I do not know whether, on the following day, Rufus Choate won his cause or lost it. but I do know that his Sabbatie rest did not do him any harm. Every lawyer is en¬ titled to one day’s rest out of three—God, seven. If he surrenders that, he robs his own soul and his client.

A few months their decease they happened to be lu the iame hotel In a village, the one counsel going to Devonshire, the other going to London. They had both been seized tinon by a disease which they knew would be fa- tal, and they requested that they down be carried into the same room and laid on sofas, side by side, that they might talk over old times and talk over the future. So they were carried in, and, lying there on op- posite sofas, they talked over their old contests at the bar, and then the} talked of the future world, upon which they must soon enter. It was said to have been a very affecting and solemn interview between Mr - Waltace and Lord Ashburton. My subject to-day puts you side by side with those men in your profession who have departed nk this life, some of tliein skep- Meal a rebellious, some of them penitent, childlike and Christian. Those were wan- dering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever while these others went up from the courtroom of earth to the throne of eternal dominion. Through Christ the advocate these got glorious acquittal. In the other case it was a hope- [ess lawsuit—an unpardoned sinner versus the Lord God Almighty. Ob, what disas- trous litigation! Behold, becomes!

In Fifty-One Days Foul* Students Ex- pended Only SS38.60. Oheap living and good living is what the four students of the Y. M. C. A. Training School in Springfield, Mass., who have boarded themselves for the last eight we eks, with the aid of one of Edward At- klnson’s Aladdin ovens, have had. An av¬ erage eost per meal for each person of six cents, an average week’s board of SI.28, did not preclude their having wholesome and appetizing fare. How they lived can be judged by the bills of fare. For breakfast they usua'ly and had milk, cocoa, bread and butter some cereal. Boasts, stews, soups, baked beans or eggs constituted the chief arti¬ cles for dinner, and the cooking began di¬ rectly after breakfast. Dessert consisted of some kind of pudding, with dates and figs. For supper, bread and butter, cake and some fruit sauce, with lemonade, made up the bill of fare. From April 22 to June 13 an account ot everything purchased was kept in itemized form. This demonstrated that the total expense during that period was only *33.60. FICHTINC CRASSHOPPERS. A Bounty of Fifty Cents a Bnsliel to I5o Of- fered for tlie Insects. State Irrigation Commissioner Cochrane, of South Dakota, has just returned from Edmunds County, where he has been di¬ recting measures to destroy the grasshop¬ there pers, which have alarmed settlers and in Brown County. Professor Saunders, of the State Agricultural College, is on the ground superintending the work. Four¬ teen “hopper dosers” are in use. Crude petroleum is shipped by the railway free and used in the work. One can gather about a bushel of grasshoppers in road twenty like minutes. They move across the a big gray blanket, and have already done much damage. The Commissioners will offer a bounty of fifty cents a bushel for th<i insects. _ Elects Senators by Popular Vote.

Mrs. Alice C. Fletcher contributes a paper with this title to the Century. Mrs. Fletcher says: On-e would hardly suppose that there could be particular rules as to the manner of sitting upon the ground; but here, as in every other part of Indian life, there is a rigid ob¬ servance of custom. Men may prop¬ erly sit upon their heels or cross- legged, but no woman must may assume these attitudes. She sit side- wise, gathering her feet well under her, and make a broad, smooth lap. When working she may kneel or squat, and when resting she, as well as the men, may sit with legs extended; but at all other times men and women must observe the etiquette of posture distinctive of sex. To rise without touching the ground with the hand, springing up lightly and easily to the feet, is a bit of good breeding very difficult to one not to the manner born. Careful parents are particular to train their children in these niceties of be¬ havior. Among the Winnebagos the little girls are drilled in the proper way of standing when under observa¬ tion on dress occasions. Their posi¬ tion of hands and feet is also the prop¬ er one for the women in certain reli¬ gious dances. While among the Sioux, a mother with a good-sized family of boys and girls propounded to me the question whether white women did not find their daughters more trouble than their sons; sheNvas sure she did. “Look at those girls,” said she; “I have their clothes to make, their hair to braid and to see that they learn how to behave. Now, my boys are no trouble.” As I glanced at the group of children, the glossy braids of the girls falling over their single Bmock, and the boys, naked but for the breech-clout, their miniature scalp-lock ornamented with a brass sleigh-bell surmounting a snarl of frowsy hair, I recognized the kinship of maternal perplexities the world over. Grant at tile Telephone. It is told of General Grant that when he arrived in San Francisco from his famous trip around the world, during the period of which the telephone was perfected and brought into use, ho blushed like a schoolboy and looked foolish when a mutual friend arranged a conversation by wire between the great warrior and his wife, Mrs. Grant being at the residence of the friend while the General was at his place of business, many blocks from the house. General Grant looked as though he believed he was being tricked and that his wife must be near by hiding, when he distinctly heard her voice from the other end of the telephone wire. Horse Bit Off a Girl’s Ear. Beauteous Mamie Morrison, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, is minus au ear aud in great pain as a result of a suddenly vicious horse’s freak. While she was patting the family buggy horse, the animal made an attack upon her, bit¬ ing off the upper half of her ear. The piece fell from the horse’s mouth as Miss Morrison ran screaming into the house. It was afterward found and stitched into place, but inflammation developed so rapidly that at the end of six hours the stitches were cut and the piece removed.
