The} j differ m different individuals to some : ixteut. A Bilious man is seldom : :i breakfast eater. Too frequently, j alas, he has an excellent appetite for liquids, but none for solids of a mor ning. His tongue will hardly bear inspection at any time; if it is not ; white and furred, it is rough, at all events. The digestive system is wholly out of order, and Diarrhea or Constipa tion may be a symptom, or the two may alternate. Thare are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddiness and often headache and acidity or flatulence aiu'l tenderness in the pit of the strrnach.

Tbo three bodies of men named above. exert a wonderful mfluence in wouldiii" the civilization of this ajre, or therefore we think that an article now n?id theu -.vitii reference to their relation one to another, and to the public, will be interesting, and ll written in thw right spirit will do good. Light is tiie great dispellor of darkness, preventive to crime, and preserver of our society. It would be impossible to live in any large city without light to dis pel the dense darkness that would gather around it at night. The public action of the proceed ings of the legislative bodies of this country does more to prevent corruption and fraud therein than do all the laws on the statute books besides The holding of courts in public his tin* same efleet in that depart ment, as the publication of the pro ceedings of legislative bodies do on those bodies. Thu* does the light of knowledge permeate and purify the whole of our body politic. The natural fuuctiou of the news paper is to shed light upon all subjects of public concern ; as we firmly believe it is their sue red duty to refrain from, in a unwelcome manner, shedding light upon private matters. Owing, though, to a great many causes, the courts have not, as a general rule, been discussed by the newspapers, in their cooler moments, probably from the fart tuat courts in their ordinary performance of duty, do not present an exciting cause for discussion. Be this as it may, newspapers hardly ever discuss the courts, ex cept when they deem that some particular outrage has been com mitted, then they conline themselves "to the abuse of some particular lawyer, judge or jury, and generally in such an excited manner as to do little good. The lawyers are a highly honor able and useful body of men ; they are the friends of the people and the courts. In the science of gov ernment they instruct and lead the people, and this because "if the blind lead the blind they both will fall into the ditch," and until there is in this country a class of men who are as well informed in the science of government, and in every way as capable of intelligent leadership as they, the people will instiactively look on the lawyers as their leaders in government. Demagogues may decry the lawyers as they may, but the people are not easily deceived. The lawyers are the friends of the people, in that they aid them in securing their rights, and in main taining their property, liberty and lives. It would be as easy to tra verse this vast country without roads of any kind, aa it would be for the weak and innocent to secure their rights without lawyers. The lawyers are the friends of the courts in elucidating the law. and especi ally in applying it to paiticular cases ; and the Judge who does not recognize this fact is a conceited man, unfitted for the Bench. The Judge is an honor to our race : he is the great conservator of our lives, property and liberties. lie is the shore to our great sea of . | humanity, against which the surging j waves of party and passion break. He is the pole-star to which all eyes are turned amid the storm. "We can but pause to remark upon the fact, how forcibly is illustrated the truth that man's character partakes of the nature of their occupation, in the lives of the Judges. We honor and venerate the Judge. The jury is particularly the bul-, 1 wark of our liberties ; they are the | great judges between truth and r j ror: and how essential it is thut they should be* free from error themselves: aud how remarkably free they are in fact. On 3 of the most remarkable i monuments to the wisdom of our j English aucestors is tLis same jury .! and one ol the mo>t marvellous facts ■ in our history is the almost scientitic accuracy with which the juries j approximate truth in their findings how little the corrupting influences of any time have affected the jury. These three bodies of men ought, i and usually do, have distinct and well defined ideas of their respective duties. It as essential to the i efficiency of each, that the public have correct ideas of the purpose and scope of the poweVj and duties ! of f Intelligence is the basic principle of republics, and this ought not to be eon fined to a restiicted number of people or subjects, but ought to embrace the whole boly of the jeo pie ainl extend to nil the subjects of govt rniuent. Th e lawyer should remember that his duty is to udviso correctly, and m the court house to present his cause clearly and distinctly with ai the eloquence at his command ; but that it is not his duty to win decisions or verdicts, these are dutiefc that lie within the pale of the duties of Judge an 1 jury. How many heart burnings and doubtful expedients the remembrance of this simple fact would save to most lawyers; for at times all lawyers seem to forget :t. It is the duty of the Judge to de cide the law, and in most cases the finding of fact is none of hi.-, busi ness, this is the peculiar province of the jury, and the Judge is not re sponsible for a miscarriage of justice on this account, before God or man ; and when lie attempts to instruct the jury how to find, or to chide them for a false finding, we believe that he is outside of his pale of du ties, mid anything he may say has but the appearance of an exhibition of passion. The jury then, as the great triers of fact, ought always remember the high and responsible position they occupy. Supreme in their own province they have never attempted to invade the province of eithey of the other branches of the judiciary. Our system of courts thus understood is the perfection of sy terns—Golds-1 boro Argus. The |*oy and Ttie Man. A Swedish boy, a tough little knot, fell out the window and was severely hurt; but, with clenched lips, he kept back the cry of pain. The king, Gustavus Adolphus, who saw him fall, prophesied that that boy would make a man for an emergency. And so he did, for he became the famous General Bauer. A woman tell off the dock in Italy. She was fat and frightened. No one o!" a crowd of men dared to jump in after her; but a boy struck the water almost as soon as she, and managed to kejp her up until stronger arms got hold of her. Everybody said the boy was very daring, very kind, very quick, but also very reckless, for he might have been drowned. The boy was Garibaldi; and if you will read his life, you will find these \vere just his traits al-i through— that--kc * SO alert thac nobody could tell when he would make an attack with his red shifted soldiers; so indiscreet some time as to make his fellow patriots wished he was in Guinea, but also so brave and maganimous that all the world, except tyrants, loved to hear and talk about him. A boy used to crush the flowers to get the color, and painted the white side of his father's cottage in the Tyrol with all sorts of pictures, which the mountainers gazed at as wonderful. He was the great artist Titian. An old painter watched a little fellow who amused himself making drawings of his pots and rushes, east 1. and stool and said : "TLut boy will beat me one day." So he did, for lie was Michael Augelo. A German boy was reading a blood and thunder novel. liigbt in the midst of it Le said to himself: "Now, this will never do. I get too much excited over it.
