A tiood Story for Lawyers.

It is probable that every lawyer of any note lias heard of the celebrated Luther Martin^ of Maryland. His great effolrt1 in the case of Aaron Burr, as well as his displays in the Senate ofthe United States, will never be forgotten. Trifles in the his of genius are important, as we hope to show in the story.

Mr. Martin was on his way'to Annapolis to attend the Supreme Court of the State. A solitary passenger was in the stage with him, aftd, as the weather was extremely cold, the passengers soon resorted to conversation to divert themselves from too much sensibility to the inclemetat weather. The young man knew Martin by sight, and, as he was also a lawyer, the thread of talk soon, began to spin itself out of legal matters. "Mr. Martin," said the young man, "I am just entering my career as a lawyer can you tell me the secret of your success If, sir, you will give me from experience the key to distinction at the bar, I will—"

Will what exclaimed Martin. "Why, sir, I will pay your expenses while you are in Annapolis." ^Done. Stand to your bargain now, and I'll furnish you with the secret of my success as a lawyer." 'The young man assented. "Very well,'' said Mr. Martin. "The whole secret of my success is contained in one little maxim, which I laid down early to gdide me. If you follow it you cannot fail to succeed. It is this Always l)e sure of your evidence."

The listener was very attentive— smiled—thi'ew himself back in a phi losophical posture, and gave his brain to the analysis with' teiie lawyer pa tience, of ^'Always be sure. of your evidence."

It was too

The morn in g' feilftiej ''arid Martin and his student took roOm's5 at the-ho-tel in the c.itj^. ^Jhe.only^^Jii^g^peculiar to the' ^otel in the eyea of .the young man was. that the wine bottles and the et ceteras of the fine living seemed to recall vividly the maxim about the evidence,

The youirg man watched Mr. Mar-tin..-Whenever eating and drinking were concerned he was indeed a man to be watched, especially in the latter, as he was immensely fond of after-1 dinner, after-supper, after everything luxurjr, wine.

Lawyers, whether: young or old, have legal rights, and so the young man begins to think of the study of I self-protection It was most cer--tainly a solemn duty1.' Common to animals and men, it was a noble instinct not to be disobeyed, particularly where the hotel bills of a lawyer were concerned. The subject daily grew on the 3roung man. It was allabsorbing to the mind and pocket. A week elapsed Mr. Martin was ready to return to Baltimore. So was the young man, but not in the same stage with his illustrious teacher.

Mr. Martin'approached the 'countei1' in the bar-room.' The young man •was an anxious spectator, standing, near him. "Mr Clerk,," said Mr...Martin,, "my young friend, Mr.' s-^. will settle my bill, agreeably to the engagement.'!

Theyoupg.man said npthing but, in "He* will attend to it, Mr. Clerk,, as, we have already hafl, .an, understanding on the subject lie is pledged, professionally pledged, to pay 'my bill," he hurriedly repeated.
