ordinary defaulters, or else the Inw consider that as his clients are in a great measure com pelled to trust him they deserve to suffer for doing what they can't well avoid. The lega system of New South Wales, we contend, regards things with an upside-down eye; and when a workman, who bas few opportunities for annexing other people's property, Inya his honde with immense difficulty on a little loose change. he is punished at least ten times as heavily us the solicitor who appropriates 1000 with facility and has abundant chances for doing the same thing again to-morrow, in spite of the empty farce so regularly enacted by the courts. For it is a well-known fact that the lawyer who is struck off the rolis seldom atopa practising on that account, unless he is a much greater ass than lawyers, generally are. He simply borrows some starving altorney and starts afresk in his name, and, as a mile, this pays him better in the end than running his business openly. When bis own ignoble cognomen is on the door-plate he is directly responsible for any swindles conducted on the premises, but when an indulgent Court has struck his name off the rolls his dummy bears the responsibility and he receives only the benefits for his share. There is more than one prosperous gentleman in New South Wales whose nfluence began on the day when the outraged law forfelted his letters of marque as a pirate and hurled its Indignant though empty And yet, censure at his dishondured head. despite all things; it is only the other day that we witnessed in Sydney the horrible spectacle of a baker's canter, a mere youth, being sent to herd with felons in gaol for a year and a half for embezzling 30 shillings paid him by those who had bought bread from his master.
SCOTTISH HUMOR.
Dr. David Pryde, head-master of the Edin- burgh Ladies' College, gave a lecture recently in the Scottish metropolis on "Scottish Humor" Humor, or the power of healthy laughter, was: the lecturer remarked, one of the greatest bless- ings vouchsafed to man. It was
HOME-MADE SUNSHINE,
(Applause.) Among the different kinds of humor that belonging to Scotland ranked very high, He proceeded to trace its frequent bluntners to the early struggles of Scotland, which made the Scot rough and ready-rough to withstand - blows, and ready to return them. (Laughter.) Its matter-of-fact nature arose in à great measure from the struggle which the Scots had for bare existence. They were able to keep the land; but the land could scarcely keep them, (Laughter.) The people lived from hand to mouth-that was to say, when the hand had anything to carry to the mouth. (Laughter.) The pawkiness of the Scot's humor was devel oped by the circumstances of his national history. There was something about a Scot which insured good luck. That something was
CANNINESS OR PAWKINĖSS which meant an unobtrusive, selfishness- (laughter)-a looking after number one while apparently not neglecting number two or number three. (Laughter.) Another peculiarity of Scot- tish humor which the lecturer noticed was it kindliness. Ifa Scotsnian had any characteristic higher than another it was kindness. He was not demonstrative; yet he managed to indicate his feelings in a very gentle manner. Beneath his shaggy brows there beamed a gentle light. Beneath his rough exterior there beat a warm heart. His very language, rough and harsh though it oven was, became soft and musical, and lost itself in tender diminutives. In conclu sion, he asked what should they say of
THOSE DEGENERATE SCYTS
who were ashamed of. Scottish habits, speech, education, and religion ? They should, he replied, pay them hack in their own coin. They should be ashamed of them, and dismiss them
templation. (Applause)
BLUNTNESS,

tookh Id of the bell, and said, "Noo, my hand's on the bell, just say what you want. My hand's on the bell, my hand's on the hell." Anothe lady, also of thrifty habits, had another way o keeping up her character for hospitality without any expense whatever. When visitors callee upon her, she said. "Would you take a glass o wine; or would you rather not ?".
KINDLINESS.
"A lady had recently lost her husband. One day she went with some relatives to visit his grave. Looking at a particular corner of the cemetery, she said "There ye are. There's Professor This, and there's his wife; and there's Dr. Tant, and there's my Jeames-just the auld whist parly, ye ken."
When coal gas came into general use for lighting houses and streets, an old woman was told that there would be no more oil used. "Nac mafr oil she exclaimed, "then, what's 40 become o' the pair whales ?"
WHY HE DID NOT GO TO THE HOSPITAL.
HE COULD LEAP THROUGH THE AIR. My object in writing is two-fold: to express my gratitude for a great benefit, and to tell a short story which cannot fail.to interest the feelings of many others. It is all about myself, but I have remarked that when a man tells the honest truth about himself he is all the more likely to be of use to his fellow-creatures. To begin, then, you must know I had long been more or less subject to attacks of bronchitis, a complaint that you are aware is very common and troublesome in Great Britain in certain seasons of the year. Some! months ago I had a very severe turn ofit, worse, I think, than I ever had before. It was probably brought on by my catching cold, as we are gli apt to do when we least expect it. Weeks passed by, and my trouble proved to be very obstinate It would not yield to medicine, and as I also began to have violent racking pains in my limbs and back, I became greatly alarmed. 1 could neither eat, nor sleep. If I had been a feeble, sickly man, I should have thought less strangely of it; but as, on the contrary, I was hearty and robust, I feared some new and terrible thing had got hold of me, which might make my strength of no avail against it. 4, say, that was the way I thought.
Presently I could, not even lie down for the pain all over my body. I asked my doctor what be thought of my condition, and he frankly said, 1 am sorry to bave to tell you that you are getting worse!" This so frightened my friends, as well as myself, that they said "Thomas, you must go to the Hospital; it may be your only chance for life!"

The Rev. Hamilton Paul, minister of Brough- ton, was entertaining a dinner party. He was very anxious to begin his dinner. So he said grace in a low voice, and immediately began his work.
