HIS CLIliS OUATITUDE.
A good story is going the rounds
about a lawyer. . The occurrence
took plice so long ago that it is not
within tho recollection ol any bnt
thn oldest inhabitants of .Black
stonp, so it will pass muster, even
though it be a chestnut.
It seems that a tramp was indict,
ed for'stealicga watch.' lie was
arraigned and pleaded not guilty.
Having no counsel aud being with
out funds nod a total stranger, the
Court assigned his desence to the
attorney iu question, The tramp
was as guilty as man ever wan, but
as the attorney was young in prac-
tico and desirous of grinding off
some of his wire edges sgaiust the
District Attorney he accepted the
task at his demand. De had nliso
lutcly no defence. XX'li client prac
tically admitted tho theft, and sal
threngh the trial ia an littituda of
deiectiou and despair.
Nothing daunted, tho youurt ftt-
toi ne v rose before the jury to sum
nn the disc. Providence had en
dowed him with a tongue capable
