A First Rate Story for lawyers.
It is probable that every lawyer of any note
has heard and read of the celebrated Lather
Martin of Maryland. His great effort in the
case of Aaron Burr, ns well ns his displays in
the Senate of the United States, wi'l not be for
gotten. Trifles in the history of genius are im
portant, ns we hope to show in this atory.
Mr. Martin was on his way to. Annapolis, to
attend the Supreme Court of the State. A sol
itary passenger was in the stage with him, and
as the weather was extremely cold, the passen
gers soon resorted to conversation to divert
themselves from too much insensibility to the
inclement air. The young man knew Martin
by sight, and as he was also a lawyer, the
thread of talk soon began to spin itself out up
on legal matters.
“Mr. Martin,” said the young man, ‘‘l am
just entering on my career as a lawyer; can
you tell mo the great secret of your success ?
If, sir, you will give from your experience, the
key to distinction at the Bar, 1 will—”
•‘Will what?” exclaimed Martin.
“Why sir, I will pay your expenses while at
Annapolis.' ■■■
“Done. Stand to your bargain now, and I’ll
furnish you with the great secret of my success
.as a lawyer,”
The young lawyer assented.
‘‘Very well,” said Mr. jjartin. ‘‘The whole
secret of my success is contained in one little
■ maxim, which I early laid down to guide me.
If you follow it you cannot fail to succeed. It
is this; “Always be sure of your evidence."
The listener was very attentive—smiled—
threw himself Kick in a philosophical posture
and gave his brain to the analysis with true
lawer patience, of “Always be sure of your
evidence.”
It was too cold a night for anything to be
made pecuniarily out of this old man’s wisdom,
and so the promising adept in maxim learning
gave himself to stage dreams in which he was
knocking and pushing Ms way through the
worlcfby the all powerful words, “Always be
sure of vour evidence.” _ t
The morning came, and Mr. Martin, with his
practical student, took rooms at the best hotel
in tiie city. The only thing-peculiar to the ho
tel, in the eyes of the young man, was that the
wine bottles and the ct ceteras of fine living,
seemed to recall very vividly the maxim about
the evidence.
The young man watched Mr. Martin. Wher
ever eating and drinking were concerned , be
was indeed a man to bo watched, especially in
the latter, as he was immoderately fond of the
after-diuncr, after-supper, after-everything lux
ury of wine. A few days were sufficient to
show the incipient legalist that ho would have
to pay dearly for his knowledge, as Mr. Martin
seemed resolved to make the most of his part of
the contract.
Lawyers, whether young or old, have legal
rights, and so the young man began to think of
tbo study of self protection. It was certainly
a solemn study. It ran through all creation.
Common to animals and men, it was a noble in
stinct not to be disobeyed, particulary where
the hotel bills of a lawyer were concerned. The
subject daily grew on the man. It was all ab
sorbing to the mind and pocket, A week elap
sed, and Mr. Martin was ready to return to
Baltimore. So was the young man, but not in
the same stage with bis illustrious teacher.
Mr. Martin approached the counter in the bar
room. The young man wjas an anxious specta
tor near him.
“Mr. Clerk,” said Mr. Martin, “my young
friend Mr. , will settle my bill, agreeable
to the engagement,”
The young man said nothing but looked every
thing.
“lie will attend to it, Mr. Clerk, as we have
already had a definite understanding on the
subject. He is pledged, professionally pledged
to pay my bill,” he hurriedly repeated,
“T There’s your evidencef" asked the young
. man.
“.Evidence ?” sneered Mr. Martin.
j “Yes sir,” said the young mao, demurely.
‘ “Always ie sure of yovr Evidence, Mr. Martin-
Can you prove the bargain ?”
Mr. Martin saw the snare, and pulling out
his pocket book, paid the bill, and with great
good humor assured the young man;
“You will do, sir, and get through the world
with your profession without advice from me.”
The Light of a Cheerful Face,
There is no greater every day virtue than
cheerfulness. This quality in man among men,
is like sunshine to the day, or gentle, renewing
moisture to parched herbs. The light of a
cheerful face diffuses itself and communicates
the happy spirit that inspires it. The sourest
temper must sweeten in the atmosphere of con
tinued good humor. As well might cloud, and
fog, aud vapor hope to cling to the snn illumin
ed landscape, as the blues and raoroseiiess com
bat jovial speech and exhilarating laughter.—
Be cheerful always. There is no path but will
be easier traveled, no load but will be lighter,
no shadow on heart or brain but will lift sooner
in presence of a determined cheerfulness. It
may happen at times to be difficult for the hap
piest tempered to keep the countenance of pence
and content, but the difficulty will vanish when
we truly consider that sullen gloom and pas
sionate despair do nothing but multiply thorns
and thicken sorrows. 11l comes to us as provi
dentially as good—and is a good, if we rightly
consider its lessons ; why not then cheerfully
accept the ill, and thus blunt its apparent sting.
Cheerfulness ought to be the fruit of philosophy
and Christianity. What is gained by peevish
ness aud fretfulness—-by perverse sadness and
sullenoess ? If we are ill, let us be cheered by
the trust that we shall soon be in health. If
misfortune befalls us, let us be cheered by the
hopeful visions of better fortune; if death robs
ns of the dear ones, let us be cheered by the
thought that they are only gone before, to the
blissful bowers where we shall all meet, to part
no more forever. Cultivate cheerfulness, if on
ly for personal profit. You will do and bear
every duty and burden better by being cheer
ful. It will be your consoler in solitude, your
passport and commcndator in society. Yon
will be more sought after, more trusted and es
teemed more for your steady cheerfulness. The
bad, the vicious may be boisterously gay and
vulgarly humorous, but seldom or never truly
cheerful. Genuine cheerfulness is an almost
certain index of a happy mind and a pure and
good heart.
A celebrated physician having been called
from a convivial party to a lady, was so much
under the influence of wine that be was unable
to form an opinion in her case, and when at
tempting to examine her pnlse, he
“Drunk! drunk, upon honor!” The lady look
ed up astonished, not understanding the pos
sessive case in bis exclamation in her case, and
blushing like a beet, said, “It’s a fact. Doctor,
but fur mercy sake, don't expose mo I”

THE Subscriber is selling this valuable machine and
invites all who want a really good Mower and
Reaper, to examine it before purcha?-ingany other ma
chine. It is superior to all other Mowers and Reap
ers in use, in the following particulars: Ills the light
est in use; is strong and durable; requires less draft
than any other machine; bos no side draft though it
cuts a wide swath; will work on rough ground where
no other machine can follow it; vet-y difficult to be
clogged in any kind of grass, he it wet or dry; is sim
ple in construction and not liable to get out of repair;
is a perfect combined machine; working equally well,
whether mowing or reaping: and is the CHEAPEST
In price, the Mower being only $lO5 and the combined
machine sl3o—making it altogether the most desirable -
Mower and Reaper in market. Call at tire Tiu and
Stove Store and examine for yourselves.
