riie reapers bend tlieir lusty backs,
Tlieir sounding sickles sway;
At CYOiy stroke tbe golden sea
Recedes to give tliein way;
iite beavy ears fall bowing dOAVii,
And nestled at their feet.
6uch rvill, such work as theirs, perforce,

So careless of fatigue they go,
So true, so steadily.
The admiring traveler on the road
Leans o’er the gate to see;
With Jhu'vel of the sooii-falleu breadth,

But the reapers labor for us all,
’Tis need they should work well.
It 'e the great sun that burns aliove
Shall crimson in the West.
And the cluldrejis’ pojjpy nosegays fade.
And tlicy lie down to rest.
Each golden spear that upward points
Shall fall upon the field,
And the firmer dr.rin a sparkling glass,
Rejoicing o’er the yield.
Ely, boiiny men, yonr sickles bnglit,
And give the people bread.'

On want and wor yon tread.

Euglish and American Latvyers.
America is the lawyer's paradise as
nowhere else does he get such enormous
lees as are paid here. Even the great
est lawyers of England, writes M. D.
Conway, do not receive such fees as are
frequent in America. IMr. Sergeant Par
ry relates that the fees he heard of in
yVmerica were such as almo.st took an
linglish barrister's breath away. The
English litigant has to pay two firms in
each case—the solicitors who prepare,
and tbe barristers who conduct his case,
and the payments -ire, therefore, divided,’
ihere is not a barrister in England
who gets more than ij575,000 a year—
which is about Mr. Hawkin’s income—
and there are only thiee, that make over
filty thousand doilar.s a I'ear. A thous^
and dollars is considered a fancy fee.
I’robably the low average of fees paid for
the every-day legal work done in Lon
don IS due in large part to the survival of
the old theory that the lawyer is a learn
ed friend of humanity in its difficulties
whose advice is given solely for the re
ward of virtue. Theoretically they are
supported by honoraria, as tbe Lone re-
ceivfs Leter's pence. They are riA sup
T'osed to receive fees, that being too gross
a form in which to reward learning and
benevolence. Mr. Judah P. BenjamiV,
e.\--lJnited States Senator and ex-Corifed-
erate Minister, is regarded as the most fa
mous advocate at the English bar at the

Did Not Do it.—The death of a woman
in Louisville, really caused bv heart dis-
e-ase, was attributed for a while to poi.soii,
as she died immediately after drinking
ale that her husband bought, and he had
t-abitually ill treated her. An inquest
made the truth clear, and her husband
then said: ‘T ain't no darned fool. A
doctor told me she had the heart disease,
and couldn’t live more than a year, so I
wouldn't run my neck into a noose by p'i-
■'iningher when the year was most up
