An Ornament to the Profession.
A student applied the other
day to one of the district courts
far admission to practice, and
an examination committee of
one was appointed by the
Judge to ascertain his qualifica-
tions. The examination began
with:
"Do you smoke, sir?"
"I do. sir!"
"Have you a spare cigar ?"
"Yes."
"Now, sir, what is the first
duty of a lawyer?"
"To colleet fees."
"Right. What is the sec
ond ?"
"To increase the number of
his clients."
"When does your position to
wards your client change ?"
"When making a bill of
costs."
"Explain."
"We are then antagonistic.
I assume the character of plaint-
iff and he becomes the defen-
dant."
"A suit decided, how do you
stand with the lawyer conduct-
ing the other side?"
"Cheek, by jowl."
"Enough, sir; you promise to
become an ornament to your
profession, and I wish y»u suc-
cess. Novv^re you aware of
the duty you owe me ?"
"Perfectly."
"Describe it."
"It is to invite you to drink."
"But suppose I decline ?"
Candidate scratches his head.
"There is no instance of the
kind on record in the books."
"You are right; and the con-
fidence with which you made
the assertion shows you have
read the law attentively. Let's
take a drink, and I'll sign your
certificate."

Boys, Stay on the Farm.
Boys, stick to the farm, it is
the best and safest place for
you. There are more real and
elevating pleasure found in a
farm life than are any where
else. The town is full of snares
to catch your feet, full of ternj -
tations to lead you astray, full
of vice to make you bad men,
full of " sharp practices" to
make money without working
for it. Work is honorable.
God has commanded us to
work, and what he requires to
do is right. We ought to live
to be happy, and to make oth-
ers happy and the life that will
make us test is the life we
ought to live. The farmer's
life is out among the hills, the
valleys, the trees, the clear run-
ning waters, and among the
birds and flowers. He lives un-
der the bluest skies, the bright-
est stars, the clearest moon, and
the most brilliant sun. The
purest breezes fan his face and
cool his brow. The sweetest
gave them th# place of honor'1
which they deserved.1 Cabbagps.
were thought of highly by an-
cient nations^ and the Egyp-
tians gave tlnrfe cabbage tfchon-
°r of letting it precede all othbr
dishes; they call it a divine ^ish.
The Greeks and Romans had a
great affection for cabbage, and
conceived the idea, which. I,
have myself, that the use of the
cabbage keepp people fromi
drunkenness. I am persuaded
that the constant eating of cer-
tain vegetables kill the desire of
alcoholic beverages. The Greekv
doctors ascribed all kinds, of.
virtue to the cabbage. It was
thought even to cure paralysis.
The Romans even thought more
of the cabbage than did < the
Greeks. They ascribed it to*
the fact that they could for1 six;
hundred years.-.do without doc-
tors, and Carto actually main-
tained that cabbage cured all
diseases. Thfe ancient khew
several kinds of cabbage—the
long-leafed green cabbage, the
hard white, se much used in
Germany for . *saur kraut," or
fermented cabfcage, the curly
and the red. This last seems
to have held tke.place ofhonor,
and was first introduced by the
Romans into Gaul or France,,
and then brougfit to Great Brit-
ain. Later the green-leafed
cabbage was introduced. The
Greeks were fond of aromantic
of oil, raitin-wine
and almonds. They boiled or.
stewed the cabbage, and sea-
soned it with curumin, coriand-
er seeds, oil, w>ine or gravy,
making rich difches of a vegeta-
ble which we now boil in water,,
and reckon among the plainest
food. Something like a re-
membrance of .cooling cabbage
among the old Greeks has come
down to the modern Greeks,
for they stuff * cabbage leaves
with dainty mincements and
then stew them'with gravy.
