·PROVERBS OF THE SEA.

It is but a stone's throw to the bottom of the ses.
He that would sail without danger must never come on the main ser.
He sets his sail to every wind.
Hoist your sail when the wind is fair.
Being at sea, sail; being on land, settle. He who goes to sca must sail or sink,
It is easy to sail with wied and side.
A big ship needs deep water.
A mariner must have his eyes on rocks and and as well as on the North Star,
He that will not sail until all dangers are over will never put to sca.
He that will not sail till he has fair wind will. late many a voyage.
Many grains of sand will sink a ship.

Too many sailors will sink a ship. Ships fear fire more than water.

Helping the unworthy is throwing water in the
the Bar. The number who have given notice in the first four months of the operation of the new rule amounts, I believe, to over fifty, and the probability is, that it will increase consider- ably. How It will affect the profession of the Bar is this: Formerly all men called to the Bar, or, at any rate, the vast majority of them, started on practically the same footing. They were educated at one of the public schools, and one of the Universities; they ate three years' dinners at Lincoln's Inn or one of the Temples, and were "called," making their way subsequently accord. ing to their abilities and chances. Here and there a solicitor's son, or a man who had married a solicitor's da ighter, got a better chance then others, but these were comparatively few. Under the new system there will always be a large number of men, at the Junior Bar, who having been 'solicitors themselves, will naturally have acquaintances in that branch of the profession to which they formerly belonged, and who will in this way possess advantages which the junior barrister who has not been a solicitor will not have. Brown, let us say, has been a solicitor for five years in Nottingham; his business has brought him into contact with a great number of other solicitors in that town and its neighbour. hood; he served the last year of his articles in London, where he made a number of acquaint ances connected with the law; he had agents in London, and business with London solicitors and finding in the course of his practice that be was cut out for advocacy he got called to the Bar under the new system, and his friends and business acquaintances are naturally anxious and willing to give him a fair start. And he does get a fair start. Now it was just this fair start that the junior barrister of former daysport. always wanted; sometimes be never got The whole conditions therefore of success at the Bar in the early stages of the barrister's career are being modified nader the new rules, and I should not be surprised if in course of time it came to be a recognised thing for the intending barrister first to serve for a number of years as a solicitor. It has always been recognised that a year in a solicitor's office was desirable on account of the knowledge of practice and legal forms which i gave. In future, I suspect that parents who desire to see their sons prosper at the Bar will first enter them as solicitors, and leave them to spend a certain number of years in that branch of the profession.
It would be idle to pretend that members of the Bar view the new rules with satisfaction. They dislike to see so many soliciters going to

As true as the sea burns.
As welcome as water in a leaky ship.
The water that supports the ship is the same that sinks it,

The soul is the ship, the mind is the rudder, the thoughts are the cars, and the truth is the
Women are ships, and must be manned.
A ship and a woman always want trimming. A ship and a woman are always repairing Give a woman luck and cast her into the sca. Who won't be ruled by rudder must be ruled by rock.

the Bar, and this dislike is shown in more ways i Hiding-place himself. Ho than one. For one thing, solicitor-barristers find some difficulty in getting elected to the messes of d clrcults. A solicitor who goes to the Bar naturally sells his practice, and doing so he naturally sells his name for a time with it as part of good-will. On the messes of some circuits this circumstance has been taken advantage of to refuse to elect the barristers whose names are thus associated with solicitor's firms, or at least to interpose obstacles which are practically insurmountable. It is a little piece of that trades-unionism which prevails no- where more than in the liberal professions, and its effect is to render it much more difficult for solicitors going to the Bar to part with their business on the best terms. However, at the present time, the importance of circuits is It is possible for not so great as it once was.
