REV. DR. TALMAGE PAYS A HIGH
TRIBUTE TO THE BAR..
Me Treats the Profession orLaw From a
Moral and Religions Sta,ndpoint-•Drities
of the Christian Lawyer -Many Tempta-
Washington, June 27. -Dr. Talmage's
sermon to -day has a special interest for
lawyers, and all who expect to be law-
yers, and all who are the friends of
lawyers. His text re Titus ill, 18, "Bring
laimas the lawyer." -
The profession of the law is here infte-
duced, and within two days in the Capi-
tal City 808 young men joined it, and
at this season in various parts of the
land other hundreds are taking their di-
plomas for that illustrious profession,
and is it not appropriate that I address
such young men from a moral and re-
ligious sta,ndpoint, as upon them are now
rolling the responsibilities of that calling
represented in the text by Zenas the
lawyer?
We all admire the heroic and rigous
side of Paul's nature, as when he 'stands
coolly deliberate on the deck of' the oorri-
ship while the jack tars of the Mediter-
ranean are cowering in the eyolon.e; as
when he stands undauned amid the mar-
bles of the palace before thick neeked
Nero, surrounded with his 12 Gruel De-
ters; as when we find him earning his
livelihood with his own needle, sewing
haircloth and preaching the gospel in the
interstices; as when -we find him able to
take the 89 lashes, eyery stroke of whith
fetched the blood, yet continuing in his
missionary work; as when we find him,
regardless of the consequenee to himself,
delivering a temperance leoture to Felix,
the governraent inebriate. But some-
times we catch a glimpse of the mild and
genial side of Paul's nature. It seems
that he had a friend who was a barrister
by profession. His name was Zones, and
he wanted to see him. Perhaps he had
formed the acquaintance of this lawyer
in the courtroom. Perhaps sometimes
when he wanted to' ask some question
in regard to Roman law he Went to this
Zenas the lawyer. At any rate he had a
warm attachment for the man, and he
provides for his comfortable escort and.
entertainment as he writes to Titus,
"Bring Zones the lawyer.?
This man of My text belonged to a
profession in which, are many ardent sup-
porters of Christ and the gospel, among
them Blackstone, the great commentator
on English law, and Wilberforce, the
emancipator, and the late Benjamin F.
Butler. attorney -general of, New York,
and the late Charles Chauncey, the lead-
er of the Philadelphia leer, and Chief
Justices Marshall and Tenterden and
Campbell and Sir Thomas More, who
died for -the truth on the scaffold, saying
to his aghast. executioner: "Pluck up
courage, man, and do your duty. My
neck is very short. Be careful therefore,
and do not strike awry."
A Mighty Plea.
Among the mightiest pleas that ever
have been made by tongue of barrister
have been pleas Itn behalf of the 'Bible
and Christianity, as wh,en Daniel Web -
iter stood in the sapreme court at Wash-
ington pleading in the famous Girard
will case, denouncing any attempt to
educate the people without giving them
at the same. time moral sentiment as
"low, ribald and. vulgar deism and in-
fidelity' ; as when Samuel L. Southard of
New Jersey, the leader of the forum in
his day, stood on the platform at Prince-
ton college commencemeist advocating
the literary excellency of the Scriptures;
as when Edmund ;Burke, in the famous
trial of Warren Hastings, not only in be- -
hall of the English government, but in
behalf of elevated morals, closed his
speech in the midSt of the most august
assemblage ever gathered in Westminster
hall by saying: "I inepeachNarren Hast-
ings in the name of the House of Com-
mons, whose national character he has
dishonored; I impeach him in the name
of the people of India, whose rights and.
liberties he has subverted; I impeach
him in the name of human nature,
which he has disgraced. In the name of
both sexes, and of every rank, and of
every station, and of every situation in
the world, II impeach Warren Hastings."
Yet, no withstanding all the pleas
which that profeseion has made in be-
half of God, and the church, and the
gospel, and the -rights of man, there has
come down through the generations
wicked prejudice against it. So long ago
among many plople an absurd and
as in the time of Oliver Cromwell it was
decided that lawyers might not enter
the parliament liouse as 'members, and
they were called "sons of Zerulah." The
learned Dr. Johnson wrote an epitaph
for one of them in these words: -

God works wonders now and. then.
Two hundred years ago a treatise was
issued with thel title, "Doomsday Ap-
proaching With Thunder and Lightning
For Lawyers." A prominent clergyman
of the last century wrote in regard to
that profession tiese words: "There is a
soolety of men among us bred up from
their youth in the art of proving, accord-
ing as they are paid, by words multi-
plied for theSpurpose that White- is- black

neighbor has a mind to my cow, he hires
a lawyer to prove that he ought to have

issue. This speietr likewise has a peculiar
cant or jargon. of their own, ,in which

There is, howevea'ano man who has
more temptations or graver responsibili-
ties than the barrister, and he who at- >
tempts to discharge the duties of his
position with only earthly resources is
making a very great mistake. Witness,'
the scores of men who have in that pro-
fession made eternal shipwreck. Witness
the malt who, with the law of the land
'under their arm, have violated every
statute of the eternal God. Witness the
Hien who have argued placidly before
earthly tribunals, who shall shiver in
dismay before the Judge of quick and
dead. Witness Lord Thurlow announc-
ing his loyalty to earthly government in
the sentence, "If I forget my earthly
sovereign, may God- forget me," and yet
stooping to unaccountable meannesses.

Only believe. "Bring Zenas the lawyer."
Sabbath Breakfne
• Another mighty temptation for the
legal profession is Sabbath breaking.
The trial has boon going on for '10 or 16
days. The evidence is all in. It is Satur-
day night. The judge's gave falls on the
desk and he says, "Crier, adjourn the
court until 10 o'clock Monday morning."
On Monday morning the cdunselor is to
sum up the case.' Thousands of dollars,
yea, the reputation and life of his client
may depend upon the success of his plea.
How will he spend the intervening Sun-
day? There is not one lawyer out of a
hundred that can withstand the tempta-
tion to break the Lord's day under such
circumstances, and yet if, he does he
hurts his own soul What, ; my brother,
you cannot -do before 12 o'clock_Saturday •
night or after 12 o'clock Sunday night
God does not want you to do at all. Be-
sides treat, you want the 24 hours of Sab-
bath rest to give you that electrical and
magnetic force which will be worth
more to you before the jury than all the
elaboration of your case on the sacred
day. My intimate and lamented friend, -
the late Judge Neilson. in his` interesting
reminiscences of Rufus Choate, says that-
'during
han'during the last case that gentleman tried
in New York the court adjourned from
Friday until Monday on account of the
illness'of Mr. Choate. But the chronicler
• says that on the intervening Sabbath he
saw Mr. Choate in the old brick church
listening to the Rev.' Dr: Gardiner
Springer. I do not know Whether on the
following day Rufus Choate won his
cause or lost it, but I do know that his
Sabbath rest did not do hiin any harm.
Every lawyer is entitled to one day's rest
out of seven. If he surrenders that, he
robs three -God, his own soul and his
client. Lord Castlereagh a d Sir Thomas
Romilly were the leaders of' the bar in
their day. They both died suicides. Wil-
berforce accounts for their aberration of
intellect on the ground that they were
unintermittent in their work and they
never rested on Sunday. " Poor fellow!"
said Wilberforce in regard `to Castlereagh;
"poor fellow, it was nonobservance of the
Sabbath." Chief Juatiee -Hale says,
"When I do not properly keep the Lord's
day, all the rest of the week is unhappy
and unsuccessful in my werldly employ -
went. " 1 -
Iquote to -day from the
4highest statute
book in -the universe, "Remember the
Sabbath. day to keep it holy." The legal
gentleman who breaks that statute may
seem for awhile to be advantaged, but in
the long run the men who observe this
law of God will have larger retainers,
vaster influence, greater professional suc-
cess than those men who break the
statute. Observance of the law of God
pays not only spiritually 1 and eternally,.
but it pays in hard dollars or bank bills.
Another powerful temptation of the
legal profession is to artificial stimulus.
No one except those who have addressed
audiences knows about the nervous ex-
haustion
haustion that sometimes conies afterward.
The temptation of strong drink ap-
proaches the legal profess on at that very
point. Then, a trial comi g on. Through
the ill -ventilated courtroom the barris-
ter's health has been depressed for days
and for weeks. He wants to rally his en-
ergy. He is tempted to resort to artificial
stimulus. kis either to get himself up
or let himself down that this temptation
conies upon - hiin. The flower of the
American bar, ruined in., reputation and
ruined in estate, said in his last mo-
ments: "This is the end I am dying on
a borrowed bed, covered with a borrowed,
sheet, in._a house built by public charity.
Bury me under that tree) in the middle of
the field, that I may not be crowded. I
.always have been crowded."
The Great Future.
Another powerful tekuptation of the
legal profession is to allow the absorb-
ing duties of the profession to shut out
thoughts of the great future. You know
very well that you who have so often
tried others -will after who,
be put on
trial yourselves. Death will serve on you
a writ of ejectment, and you will be put
off these earthly premises. On. that day
all the affairs of your life will be presented
in a "bill of particulars." No certiorari
from a higher court, for this is the high-
est court. The day when Lord Exeter was
tried for high treason; the day when the
House of Commons moved_ for the im-
peachment of Lord Lovat; the days when
Charles I and Queen Caroline were put
upon trial; the day when Robert Emmet
was arraigned as an insurgent; the day
when Blennerhasset was brought into the
courtroom because he :had tried to over-
throw the- United States government,
and all the other great 'trials, of the world
are nothing compared with the great
trial in which you and I shall appear,
summoned before the .fudge of quick and
dead.
There will be no pleading there "the
statute of limitations," no "turning
state's evidence," trying to get off our-
selves while others suffer, on "moving
for a non:suit." The case will come on
inexorably, and we shell be tried. You,
my brother; who have so often been ad-
vocate for others, will then need an ad
•vocate for yourself, Have you selected
him, the Lord Chancellor of the Uni-
verse? If any man sih, we have an ad-
vocate -Jesus Christ t1ie righteous. It is ,
uncertain when your case will be called
on. "Be ye also ready."
Lord .Ashburton and Mr. Wallace were.
leading barristers in their day. They
died about the same time. A. few mncnths
before their decease they happened to be
in the same hotel in a village, the one -
counsel going to Devonshire, the other
going to London: They had both been
seized upon by a disea¢�e which they knew
would be fatal, and ' Uhey requested. that
they be carried into the sante room and
laid down on sofas side by -side that they
might talk over old tines and talk over
the future. So theyere carried in, and
lying there on opposite sofas they talked
over their old contests at the bar, and
when they talked of the future world,
upon which they must soon enter. It was
said to have been a- very affecting and
solemn interview between Mr. Wallace
and Lord Ashburton. ' My subject to -day
puts you side by side i with those not in
your profession who have departed this
life, some of them skeptical and rebel-
lious, some of them penitent, childlike

The new hardy 'climbing rose now be-
ing introduced under the name of Em-
press of China seems to be a really valu-
able novelty. • It is readily established
arid grows very rapidly; its foliage is
dense, graceful and of a rich green color.
The plant begins to bloom the first sea-
son, and continues to grow and bloom
till after the coming ot frosts, and what
is especially commendable is the fact
that it is perfectly hardy. Ins prairie
roses are excellent climbers and produce
bea,utiful flowers, but their season is only
for a, short period during midsuinmer.
The climbing hybrid perpetual roses
rarely make a satisfactory growth for a
pillar or wall and bloom but Sparingly
during autuneri. But here we have a
climbing rose that grows almost as freely
as a prairie rose, blooms continuously
froni spring until late in the autumn,
and will endure the winter with perfect
safety and be ready for serivce early in
the spriag, enlarging from year to year,
and yielding a. display of flowers
throughout the season that elicits praise
and admiration from all observers.
The Empress of China, like other
China roses, is of medium size, but the
petals are rather broad and of good. sub-
stance, and when full blown the form is
moderately full and the fragrapce emit-
ted is deliciously sweet. The buds are
gracefully pointed and of a bright car -
raffle rose color. As they develop, how-
ever, they change to the iteautiful rosy
white which is so much admired. in the
lovely apple bloom. For the buttonhole
the half open bud with a spray of the
foliage is exquisite, and. for a modest
hand boquet the vigorous clusters of buds
and flowers, with their accompenying
foliage, are all that could be desired:
"Grows like h, morning glory and is as'
hardy as' a grapevine, " writes, one, en thus
siastio florist. His enthusiasm may have
carried his description too far, but this
new climbing rose is evidently one of
more than passing merit, and deserves
the attention of all who wi h an ever
blooming, hardy climbing •ose.-Wo-

The Whipping Post.
Prior to the Revolution 0, 'w hipping
post stood in hignielphia at the south-
east corner of Third and Market streets.
They were alsee to be found in most
other American cities at that time. The
pillory, which usually accompanied the
whipping of criminals, was regarded as a
species of publio entertainment. The
rabble evinced such pleasure in pelting
the culprits with eggs, vegetables and
clods that Watson, in his historical an-
nals of Philadelphia, declares that Inas-
much as these punishments wereeinflIcted
only on market days the price of eggs
was then systematidlilly higher than
Two centuries ago these piinishments
were freauently accompanied by the bar-
barity of slitting the nostrils or clipping
the ears of the werst offenders. After-
ward the sheriff usually held up the ex-
cised fragments of the ears to the gaze
and vociferous applause of the multitude.
We have no record indicating that nose
or eer splitting ever prevailed in Amer-
ica, but instead thereof the pitiless pelt-
ing of the offenders with mud or eggs
was a universal custom bequeathed to us
by old England and practiced until the
date of the Revolutionary war:
The penalty of - whipping was also a
salient feature in the blue laws of New
.England, as many miserable Quakers
abundantly discovered whose zeal had
hnprovidently led them into these col-
onies. So strong was the prejudice against
Quakerism that it was punished by the
catsoanine-tails, while the victims were
dragged at the rear of a cart from town-
ship te township. It was alio deemed the
only argument that could he wed. with
slavee, or white offenders of the lowest
'class, which could be hoped to impress
them with a proper sense of their trans -
lent slave for a larceny was rather a re-
ward thanta penalty for his crime and
left no conscientious reproaches ution
his torpid nature.-Cosmoplitan.
