Lawyers aad their Fees.

The Register is anew Daily in Philadel phsa, and about the cleverest and sharpest paper issued in thst quiet city. The Editor appears to have been absurdly accused of harboring a prejudic against lawyers, which imputation be repels witb spirit—as follows 'We not only respect lawyers but have a lively admiration for them Who ever heard of one of them taking a fee in an unjust cause? or doing a hard hearted thing! or ssying what he did not believe 1 or encouragieglitigation? or misrepresenting evidence to the jury!—De Tocquevifle rightly says they are the aristocracy—-That is. the best of men—of the United States. Our own admiration of them is founded on a large ex pdrience of virtues. Let us call up, for a moment, from mir pleasant memoirs of the past, images of a few lawyers of our own acquaintance.

There is nur friend at Columbus, Mississippi, who nev varies from his scale of charges. even for friends. We sent him once, for collection, our bill of 89 against a subscri ber. He collected it the same day. and sent us by return mail his own bill for a fee of 915, with a polite dun for the unpaid bal ance of 96. We remitted it insianter, thankinghim for his promptness.

Th'en there is the eminent counselor at Lake Providence, who charged us $200 on a bill of exchange for 52.000, which bad been paid on presentation. We remonstra ted and he consoled us for not having collected through a bank by the assurance that, if professional etiquette did not forbid, he would most certainly reduce his original charge, which he admitted was rather loo heavy. A still better man was a Texas lawyer, to whom we entrusted a disputed land claim, on an arrangement called the 'halves/ very common in that part of the country. A facetious dog was Smith. About eighteen months elapsed without our hearing from him. He then wrote us, in answer of our twentieth epistle, that he had done remarkably well with the claim, having compromised it for half the value of the property that he had pocketed the half for his fee and that we were really not indebted to him for anything besides the costs of a suit he had commenced and discontinued. We could have Jairly hugged the fellow for his gay and careless humor.

He did not give us half the trouble we had with a lawyer out at Jefferson City, who had collected for us a claim of several hundred. Punctual as a correspondent, he advised us, by the first mail, adding thrtthe mails were made very irregular by the overflowing of the river, and he did uot think it safe to remit. We waited until summer time, until one could almost wade the Upper Missouri. The river was so low then, be said, that he (bund it extremely inconvenient to get his pfcper to the bank where he usually had it cashed. Two seasons passed by. and innumerable letters were interchanged in regard to remitting, drafts And inundations.— At last, being in need of funds, we wrote !vat we must iusist on having the money," irrespective of the state of the water, lie was an honest creature at heart, and sent itr forgetting to add the two years' interest, but deducting 12 per cent for his fee. I

Lawyers will be a little lazy sometimes but'ean we blsme a man for physioal inaptness or inactivity? The laziest one we ever knew lived at Shawneetown Illinois. He had promised for a year or two to remit to Louisville some money he had collected for us.— Business like demands, cajolery, persuasion, argument, and manace, had no effect on him. He would write no more.—At last we sent him in full the anecdote of the man, who was so lazy that he ate apples ofT the tree, not being energetic enough to raise his hand to pluck them. This touched the right spot, and he roused hiiiytelf so far as to send us the money. The effort may havo killed him, for we have never heard of him since.

In no profession is there a more chivalrous sense of honor than in that of the law. We huve a lively remembrance of having be$n long kept in constant bodily fear by a lawyer of Little Rook. Arkansas. He had mantainmost obstinate silence for more than a year after receiving of us the full amount «f claim. To a letter in which we detnand«d an immediate and satisfactory adjustment of the matter, he answered that our fontfer letters Were two Yankee-like, but he was ready jo give us satisfaction at* once. He ended requesting us to nameiur friend and weapons, as he would corns on and fight us oe our own ground!#We wrote him by return post, to put a Pickwickian construction the offensive letter. After applying to some forty lawyers to collect the claim from our belligerent attorney—all of them refusing the business on the plea of professional delicacy we succeeded in retaining onefbn promise of twenty per cent As the warlike one's charge was twelve, sixty eight per cent, wss all that ever came in our possession. H'*

The New York lawyers arr feeble and dashing practitioners. Mamnion never charged more spiritedly. It was only the other day ote of them sent us a bill of$60 for seeing to a depottftioa of a few Unas to prove the style of a firm, adding that he would retain tbe deposition until the Mil Was paid. We hope he will find it good property we paid $5 for another. Ya

But we have said enough/ Our readers may think of our article as Mr. Brown does of newspaper criticism on the bar—that it is time this thing was stopped.* We have shoan why and how we admire lawyers.— Should any one of them dissent from our views, we will fen another to dipute with htm.—Whr not! Does not the accepted theory make of a lawyer amoral gladiator, with *ta let' on his forehead? Does any one feel, when listening to foret^c eloqvi^p, that there is a man behind it?

TERRE-HAUTE^NDIANA* FRIDAY JULY 22, 1853.

"Don't Speak to Her.*

'Doni tpcak lo her!* There was a. bjier sneer upon the face of the- little girl as she and her companion turned away from the poorer dressed school companion. $$*_

No.lHtle Miss, don't speak to the poor girl. Your father swindled poor people and made a large,property out of their hard earnings. Be was a low-bred vagabond when a young man, but-is now one of the 'upper ten.' At heart be is a« low and base as ever he was But he deals in slocks and robs by shaving bonds and mortjgaget. He is a ntomed man. He is rich. He is your father, Mis3. and would not like it were you to be placed on a level with honorable poor people. Don't speak to her.

The girl is plainly clad and has no tippet around her neck* or oostlj* playthings. She has a humble home,-and a poor mother. Her father was ruined by one who now rolls on wealth and died a stricken man. His fine house— the early home of the poor girl —was sold at a sacrifice, and purchased by the man who ruined him. Her mother, th» nice beautiful and accomplished belle and noble woman, takes in washing. What a vulgar woman! How low it is to wash for living! who would associate or have anything to do with them?

Her shoes, too. sre common calf-skin while yours are beautiful gaiters/"1 VVhy can't the vulgar thing dress as well as you do. and why can't her sad hearted mother have a fine horse and ride to church in a carriage? What busiuess have folks to be poor? How exceedingly vulgar It is to work for a living!

Don't speak lo her. H*r sweet face pale and sad, and her diess is coarse and plainly made. Just look at her pan'alettes even-.—nothing but commn needle work! Not as fine as yours by a good deal.

Don't speak lo her! She ain't fit for your company—she don't dress well enough. No matter if she does hear the cutting words. Poor children have no feeling. It's your privilege to say what you are pleased to about such folks. There is a tear in her mild blue eye and a quick flush on her pale cheek, and as she passes the group with their hoops, she draws her checkered bonet lightly around her face and steals away with many a bitter sob: Her young heart is learning its first sorrow. She will know that heart or conduct have no claim upon the respect of the fashionable world.

Her mother washed for bread, and she is poor girl. There are many sobs and clouds for her in the future.—many a cutting word and stinging sneer. Her woman's heart will need all its bravery. She may triumph in the stern and trying struggle, or she may give way and go down to worse than a grave. Her soul was ful! of the pure and the noble in all that was womanly but they crushed her with an iron heel and she wss lost|$i, 11 ,kVb«Ti'

Don't speak to the poor girls—they have no business lobe poor—it is so vulgar! Cayuga Chief.

The Poor Professional Man, It is said that the gods look down with delight upon an honest man strugling with misfortune and this becauso the gods know how difficult it is to preserve their honesty nder the constant temptations and attacks of troubles and embarrassment. It is very easy for well-fed Well-clothed virtue to look with disdain upon the vices of the poor, when they themselves are free from the temptation of want and misery: but let them change places give their rampant virtue the severe test which the poor man's has to undergo, and we venture to say they would come from the trial no belter men than those whom they now thoughtlessly, if not cruelly, condemn. The man whoso fortune has never lifted him above the level of the bare necessities of life does not feel his condition with that sensibility whioh the man experiences who, to use a common phrase, 'has seen better days/ and our sympathies are very often misplaced, in lamenting their apparently unhapoy lot, whilst another class, who really need the consolation of friendship end the helping hand but too rarely enjoy the one of the other—we mean the Poor Profusions! Man. s?**1 Hi 3F-

The onset of a 'professional career, unless sustained by means, independent of pursuit is always arduous and (dtscouraging. (Jnlike tile tradesmen, or tho merchant, who displays in his shop-window the rich goods be may have in his store, and at once command public attention* the professional man can only 'display the richer treasures of his mind and experience here and there bit by bit. unless some fortuitous circumstance should call forth a brilliant display of both. He cannot like the merchant either run about to seek or ask for business, for the world would have bat little confidence in die man who commended himself to their patronage. He cannot like the othereay his goods are the best id the market affords.. No he must alt in his office and await the slow coming support of the public bat what 'damned minutes tell be o'er.' as be counts his slender means, and sees not, os vet, in die pros* pective of the future, one speck of hope.— With the position, education, and feelings of a gentleman, he is compelled to maintain himself hir beyond bis means, and this adds ta the crashing cares which already depress him. Very wrong cries the merchant— always live within your means. Very true, and a very good practise urhen your soocesa does not tlepeod so much on nice observance** as in the case of a professional man. You may sell a bale or a cargo of cotton with a torn eoet oa, or no coat at all or a seedy suit, but it would never do for the doctor or the lawyer, unless already established in practice to appear at the bedside of a patient, or in presence of the court in similar attire People do not recogaixe ta)eatin threadbare ckxbes. Genius tmest not wear a crowaless hat or darned stookiags if hopes to gain admission to polite society N. O. DtlU.

Value of Preci*ioa i» Description* The editor of the*'Leader/' and English paper, quotes a, story which may serve to elucidate this:

The Mayor of Falaisy having one eight ran ton! of a citizen of thngpotl town of Falaisy (in those days there was neither gas nor oil lamps.) the Mayor gave orders next morning that D&v'bttWh should go out at night Without a lanterit. The following night, tbe Mayor ^ning his rounds, raa against the same citizen

You havti't read the ordinance, you stu* piJ fellow/ said the Mayor in a passion. •Yes have/ said the norm an, and there's my lantern/ 'But there's no candle in it/ rejoined the Mayor, n. •The ordinance said.nothing about that, replied the scrupulous citizen.

The next day appeared new ordinance, enjoining the citizens to put candles in their lanterns. At nightfall lite Mayor, anxious to Sqp if bis orders we obeyed, went his rounds again, and once more ran fuiil qf the same bourgeois. *1 have you this time/ said the Mayor a fury: •you have do lantern/ be*, ., 'Excuse me.here it is/ a ./•"But no candle in it

So another ordinance had to be Issued, enjoining the citizeus to figtti the candles injheir latn« rn§

Queen Victoria, in refilling ti& have Mrs Beecher Sfowe presented at ber Drawing Room, reflected true honor upon her Msjesesty of Bng!and, antr goes far to confirm the reputation that enjoys of being the most Sensible woman in Europe.

Among the faded dowagers and ambitious duchesses of England, it is refreshing to find towering far above them, as well in moral stature as by rank, the true woman of courage, and of common 3ense, like Victoria, who refuses to lend the authority of her royal name to the contemptible yet injurious excitement of the day and hour.— The following account of the affair, copied from the ordinary record of foreign news, is well worth preserving:

At the Queen'* grand drawingl^onfflleld yesterday, for the first time since her aocoucbment. Ex-President Van Buren was presented by the American Minister. Other Americans also were presented by the but the Countess of Shafts bury, the head of the female coitrie of abolitions*, was there she was not permitted to present Mrs. Stowe, which it appears sho took so much in dudgeon as to present no one, though there was not wanting plenty of her friends aspiring ta the honor and expecting it from her.

It is to be hoped that this action of the Queen will have the effect of checking the absurd todyism, half ironical, ami wholly mischievous, with which Mrs. Stowe hus been received in England, and will Suggest to tbeShafiburys, Sutherland*, and other lofly names of the British nobility, a returns their dignity and duly. It really seems too great a farce to see these nobles and time honored names appended to pub* lio ovations to Harriet! Beecher Stowe and the Black Swan—and besides, furnishes an

unanswerable argument to prove the utter uselessness of a nobility and an aristocracy. New York Sachem. 'r

The Marriage that Dida't Tuktf Place. We were informed yesterday that a curious matrimonial difficulty took place last week, near this village. A pedagogue of this vicinity, worth some 910,000, had beeb pay-1 itig bis devoirs to a blooming widow lady worth half that amount. Tl^ey at last engaged^o unite their fortunes. The day on which the twain were to be made one was set. The time arrived, and the priest duly appeared at the wedding ieasi. The widow and her prospective husband took their places upon the floor, and

To merit bliss by making het despair.***' This disclosure exhibited the wifemaking pedagogue as a "Gay Lothario." and it war ndw ascertained that while wooing the widow. two innocent maids were also the recipients of b$s attention but his watering mind was settled upon the widow, because the maids were only— "Rich ia beidiy/Snly pdof, That whoa they die, with beauty"dies their store.*

To the deluded widow, this announcement seemed inexplicable. "She swore, ia faith, 'twas struage, 'twas yadtti "Twa# piUiful, 'twas woadrohs pitifal." (stnofe She wished she had not heard it.

We allude to those frightful hypocrisies wJiioh are commonly practiced in private life, and which society does noi Censure. Some Of thein may indeed be described as of a blameless character. Although you are morally convinced that Crossleigh and his wife were the most unhappy couple in existence and that when alone together, the fi^ht with the ferocity of tiger eats: it is. we own, rnther agreablethan otherwise to find them deferring to each other before company, in very complaisant terms, and habitually employing all the sugared epithets* of the honey moon. There may be in all that a* great deal of false pretence, but no ohe sutlers by it. Very different however is the deception which Mrs. Cwssleigh practices on account of her daughters. The young Udv OcSavia, is the incarnation of a vixen and »n her the hereditary bad temper of both her parents is so concentrated, that she has the entire m&^terv over them. Some glimmerings of common sense have made this

these qualities are not likely to win the ad miration of mankind—for the taste of Petruchico was decidedly peculiar and it required considerable self-oonfidence to undertake the the taming of a:shrew—^and sho nnsualiy appears abroad in the guise of a meek GrUeldis. Nor is she unbaoked by her mother, who in order to get rid of her, has heaps a whole Himaloyah of falsehoods upon her soul. Her object is to get Octavia suitably married, and for that purpose she spreads her snares for weak-ininded young men only. Ono milk-and-water curate with a pulpy countenance, and an intense veneration for the excellencies of tho Cyprianic age, was nearly made the victim, and had just made up his mind to pop the question, when (He sound of an ill-advised skirmish upstairs, and assault upon a terrified housemaid, made him take to his heels as though he had seen the shadow of Appollyon. Most behutiful it is to have a mother piously returning thanks for the comfort she has received from her children, and indicating rather than expatiating upon the extent oflheir manifold virtues. But mothers are apt lobe partial judges, and is always safe for those medilatiug on matrimony to have recourse to somo less interested testimony. Indeed parents are never to be telied on.— Sometimes they are misled, at others they are wilfully misleading, and in either case perhaps, there is an excuse. One kind of hypocrisy, jiowever, we denounce an loathsome. It is that of the cold, determined fortune hunter, who having no wealath of bis own or having squandered it, aspires to make his fortune by a matrimonial allUnce. Fools, very often entertain this idea, and in them it is discreidtablrt for not being gifted with any strong perceptions, thgy merely follow au indolent impulse, assume no false features beyond ihc appearance of a stupid admiration, and, in nine cases out of ten, would bo tolerable kind to their wives. Many a fool is not a bad hearted fellow besides, as he cannot, by any possibility, dis'

tise bis folly, tho lady has herself to blame, the case of the clever fortune hunter is different. He has not one atom of feeling in his whole composition. He cares nothing for the woman whomhe is pursuing for the sake of hor money—hfe merely regard* her as a necesary, and not unfreqeuntiy a disfcgteable cdndiiibh no art that be vfili not practice—no disguise that he will not assuma, ft gain his phrpose^Come she of -strickly pious family?
