Alalia dozen lawyers, fresh from their itudies, and just admitted to the bar, were listening to bis advice. The old jurist had a bottle of wine at his elbow, and was in a communicative mood. "Young men," he said, "whatever may be your strait, never take a cane before jury or before any court, un less you have your right bower for a lead." If the reader surmises from this that the old judge was fond of euchre, he win not Dave surmised amiss. The young men looked at him in quiringly. "I mean," be added, "that you shall nevei advocate a cause into the worjc of which you cannot enter with a clear conscience. You shall never accept a client whose cause you do not believe to be just" - "Can that rule always be adheredJ to i asked one of the listeners. "It can," answered Lurlington, em phatically. "It is a lawyer's firm rock of foundation, and the only sure point of departure to the respect and confi dence of the fellows." "Have you always followed that rule, Judge?" "I was never tempted from it but once," he replied ; "I will tell you the story, if you would like to hear it." "Of course they would like to; and having laid aside his pipe the old man began t "One day I was waited upon by a man who gave his name asL-abanSar furt. He was of middleaire. well dressed, and at first eight appeared to be a geutJeman ; but the illusion was dispelled when approaching busioesj. He was bard and ucfeelioc, and natu rally a villian. Success in speculation bad saved him from becoming a thief or highwayman. I had beard of him as a heavy dealer in th. up-river lands. Jfe asked me if I was willing to under take a job which would call me to Sbireton. I told him I was open to anything legitimate that would pay. "Mr. Lturlingtoa, said he, tapping me with coarse familiarity upon the arm. I want to secure your services J you roust riot be engaged on the other side." "I told him if he would explain to me the case I night be better able to give him an answer." II bit an enor mous quid of tobacco from a black plug, and having got it into shape be tween his jaws, he went on with his story. "The case is one of ejectment. An elderly man, named Philip Acton, had died leaving a valuable estate. There was nearly a thousand acres of. land, with opportunities for developing im mense water power, and ere many years that land would be worth more than a million dollars. At present upon the estate, and claiming it as a son of the deceased, was a man calling himself William Acton." "Bui," said Sarfurt, "he is not a le gitimate child at all.' His mother was Betsy Totwood, at one time a girl in Acton's employ. Acton, I know, was never married. He brought the boy up and educated him, and now the fel low thinks he will step into his pro tector's shoes. I can prove that I am the only living relative of Philip Ac ton, lie was my uncle my mother's brother and, to a lawyer as smart as you, there can be no difficulty in prov ing my title. I can bring the witness es to your hand." "He told me he would give me five hundred dollars if I would undertake the case, and an additional thousand if I gained. That was a bigr fee far more than I bad then made in all my fractice. It was tempting. , And yet saw that it ws not perfectly clear not entirely honest. The probability was that this William Acton was Phil ip's child ; and it was not impossible that Philip had married Betsy Tot wood. It struck me that Laban Sar furt was a villian, and that he fancied that he had young Acton so far in his power that he could eject bin) from the title. But what had I particularly to do with that? If I accepted a client -- . him. I had no business I i luwtmi but to serve his interest. I finally told Mr. Sarfurt that I would think the matter over. I should probably have business in Sbireton during the session of court, and I would call on him there and examine more fully. I could not take his retainer uutil I had fur ther light. "But," said he, "will you promise nv tn tali a nn for the other side ? "I told him I would do nothing without further consultation with him. "Because," he said,"if you are for me, I ain sure to win. Actou can i nna lawyer that can hold a candle to you T know them all." No matter whether I believed him or not. I did not feel flattered. "Tu n u-eeka later I received a let- pr from Sarfurt. nroruisiu roe five -ill- - : f 7 miOTMO) w w I V flr SEPTEMBER 13, 187G. "The five thousand dollars was a strong argument. Was not law really a game of chance, in which the strong est hand must win ? I told myself yes. Yes and I sat down and wrote a reply, saying that I would take the case. But I did not mail it at once. That night I put it under my pillow and slept over it ; and on the follow ing morning I threw it into the fire. I would sot make up my mind until I had seen other parties until I had been on the gronnds. And I wrote to Laban Sarfurt to wait. i "Two weeks later I harnessed my vr uo naguu, sun WHO tu J WHO and child started for Shiroton. I had been married twojrears, and our little oaue, a gm, was a year old, our pride, our pet, and our darling. Shireton was at a distance of abont thirty miles. We had been having rainy weather for a week or so, and it had now cleared off bright and beautiful. We stopped and took dinner at a wayside inn, tour miles beyond which was a stream which must be forded. The inn-keeppr told ma that the stream was somewhat swollen from the late rains, but that if my none was trusty there could be no danger. "Arrived at the stream, the Warn- patuck river, I found the water indeed risen, and the current stronir. but I saw that others had recently gone over and I resolved to venture. I knew nry horse, and had faith in him. My wife was anxious, but she trusted mv judgment A third of the way across the water was over tho hub of the wheels. A little more, and it would hav reached the body of the wagon. I began to be alarmed ; I feared I had left the true track. Presently my horse stumbled and staggered, bavins evidently stepped on a moving stone. The wagon swayed and tipped, and the flood poured in upou us. My wife slipped, and in a moment? we were struggling in the water. With one hand I grasped the harness upon the horse and with the other I held my wife. I was thus struggling when a wild cry from her lips startled tire air. ' Our child was washed away. "Ob, my soul 1 I cannot tell you what I suffered during those moments. I could not help our darling. If I left my wife she was lost I clung to the horse, and clung to ray shrieking! wife shrieking to God for mercy for-1 her child. In the distance, upon the bosom of the surging flood I could aee our li$le one, her white dress gleaming in the sun, being borne swiftly away. A moment more and I saw a man plunge from the bank into the river. I saw this much, and then an inter vening point of land shut out the scene. The horse was now rapidly nearing the shore, and ere long my wife and I were on dry land, with the horse and wagon. As soon as I was sure my wife was safe I left her "to care for the horse while I posted off down the river bank in quest of the swimmer and the child. "You may well understand that all this time I was frantic. I was a ma chine being operated upon by a surg ing and agonizing emotiou. How long or.how far I wandered I do not know, but at lengh I met a man, wet and dripping, with my darling in his arms, my darling safe and sound. He told me that he had caught tho child with in a few rods of the falls, and that in landing be had cleared the fatal abyss by not more than two yards. He was a young man, not more than twenty five, handsome and stalwart. He said he had seen my wagon tip, and was coming to my assistance when he saw the child washed away. 'I threw my life into the balance,' said he, with a genial smile, 'and, thank God ! both the lives were saved!' "I asked him how I should ever re pay him. He stopped me with an im ploring gesture: "If you talk of more pay than I have already received," he said, "If you. can rob me of the only solid reward I can claim, mercy 1 if saving the life of such a eherub is not enough of reward in itself, then hard Is the heart that craves more." And with moistened eyes he told that he bad a a .a - child oi bis own at homo an oniy child of very nearly the same age. "I asked if be would tell me his name. With a smile, he answered that bis name did not matter he was not sure that be had a name. I then asked him if he knew me. He nodded and said he thought I might be Mr. Lurlington of Walbridge. Wnen i told him he was correct he said that he must hurry home. And with that he turned away. 1 was too aeepiy moved to stop him, aod when he had d'manneared I stated to rejoin my wife with a dawniucr imuresaiuu iu th man inivht be slitrhtlv deranged. But my darliDg was sate ner oroau, fleecv cloak had floated out and kept uu r- - . . i her head above water. 1 went on my way rejoicing, resolved that the pre server ef my child should uot be for crnlten.

On the following dv TK.n c. furt called opon me and was about to spread nis evidence for my inspection, when I interrnDted him. I inM Kr r could not accept his confidence until I roaue op my mma to tase his case in hand. Something seemed to whisper that there was danger ahead. I did not feel comfortahla In rtiat man's presence. I felt as though he was try in or to buv m T1a an A II rf would sit in four days. X told him ' I would give him a final answer in two days from that. "That evening I made a confident of my wife, and asked her what I should do. "If I take the case," I said, 'I am sure of five thousand dol lars.' She bade me do what was right. 'God has been very kind to us,' she said, 'let ns look to Him for guidance.' "After this I called on the clergy man of the place, whose son had been my classmate in college, and whom I had once before visited. He received me heartily, and by and by I asked him about William Acton. The re sult of all he told me is summed np in his closing sentence : I am sure Wm. Acton was Philip Acton'i child in fact, I know it and I think the father and mother were married. Betsr died very soon after her child was treated the boy as a legitimate child ; and that be loved him as Bach I can j confidently affirm.' "On the following marnnr. after ores k last, as i sat oy the window m the bar-room, I saw coming from the street the man who had saved my child. He was walking slowly, like one in trouble. I pointed him out to my host, and asked him who he . - . . . .. . . waa. - - "That is William Acton. Perhaps you have heard of the trouble he is likely to have with Laban Sarfurt?" "1 said 1 bad heard." "I hope he may come out all right.' the host added; but I am fearful. He has got a hard and heartless customer to deal with. "I Bbut my mouth and held my feace until Laban Sarfurt called for is final answer. I said to him : "Mr. Sarfurt, I have been consider ing all this time whether I could un dertake your case with a clear con science whether I should be helping the side ol justice and right in help ing you. I had concluded that I could not do so before I had seen William Acton, to know him by name. 1 know nim lor a man who nobly risked his own life to save the life of my child. For that deed I will reward him if i can. 1 have not, as yet, accepted one-of your private disclosures ; I have gained from you nothing which you could wish to keep from the Dublic. I cannot take vour case, but! tell you frankly, that if you prosecute, I will defend William Acton. "I did not mind Sarfurt's wrath. He raved, and swore, and stamped, and then he went off and engaged two lawyers from Herkimer to take the case. I culled upon Acton, and told him I would defend him if he would accept my services, as I had accepted his. He took my hand and thanked me. "I have made a great many speeches in my life, but I think I never made a better one than I made to that jury on that occasion. They were out not over five minutes. By their verdict William Acton was the lawful possess or of the estate his father had left. "From that day I never hesitated to refuse a case tj which I could not give my heart. Such a stand on the part of a lawyer becomes known, and the public feels it; and what the pub lic feels juries are sure to feel. "Concerning William Acton, I will only add that he became my bosom friend. He always felt that be owed bis title to his valuable property to me; and I knew that to nim I waa indebted for the home that was mine for thirtv vears.
