September, 1879. THE WEST SHORE. 273 fallow, Choker, ihould come, mind, you're not to let him iee anything." As the fete would have it, Choker did ooine. Perhaps Mr. Quickiett knew he u coming. I'oeiibly Mr. Chokur, who m sharp and not very crupuloui professional opponent of hie, had made himself aware of the unprotected iitate of Gray's Inn, and he brought with him a man that looked every inch a prise-lighter. " la Mr. Quiokaett in No ! Well, it'a of no consequence. I merely aallod to ee ai a matter of form one or two document! in Smith N, Jones." "Then I mint trouble you to call again, when Mr. Quickeet is in." "Quite right, young man," aaid Choker, ap provingly; "that's the right thing to nay in ordinary oaaea; but you tee thia not an ordinary case. We've got an order from the court to in spect theae documonta." "Where ii it V aaid Sam bluntly. "You've got it with you, haven't you !" aaid Choker, oareleaaly turning to hit companion. The young athlete fumbled in hie pockets, and declared with great apparent vexation that ho must haw foruotton to bring it "I don't beueve you've got it to bring," aaid Sam. "We'll have no nonsense, air," aaid Choker in a passion; "at your peril refuse to show us what we want to see, anil tne two men an vanced on Sain in a threatening way. Hut, lit tie as he Waa, he never budged an inch. "I tell vou what it is." he said, with all the cool neaa imaginable, "if you two don't leave tbo of lien this minute. I'll send for a constable. " There waa no need to attempt that difficult operation. Tbuy were only trying it on, and with an affucUtion ol injured innocence, .nr. Choker and his satellite withdrew. (In another occasion, after Sam hail been a couple of months in the office, his uncle oame out of his room one day and liade him to go down at oooe to the Judge's chambers and look after some case that was to come on there. "It la a thinu that reouires vou to have your wita knot vou to do that for vou oome face to face with a shrewd Judge, who can not tolerate a fool. The old clerks in Mr. HWM s omce appeared paralysed with astonishment at such au onler; ana one 01 asase 'ww', """" partially reooverad, to suggest a mistake on Mr. Quickeett'e part. "It's rather a difficult oaae, air, if you remember," he urged. "All riuKL Muster." was the cheery reply; "I know what I am about The beat way to learn to swim is to be pitched neck and heels into deep water." The suspense waa great among the ancients while Sam was away ; but he came back in due time, and reported that the oaae had oome on I ( tl...

Why should we give one day in seven to religion' It is to be regretted that some very IMC an swers to this iuestiou are so strenuously in sisted on. It is always dangerous to supimrt a good cause by a liad argument ; for when the argument is discovered to lie tiaeelees the thing that seemed to rest upon It is likely to lie re garded as without foundation. The bed reason and the good cauae fall together. To say that Sunday is needed for physical rest is not to give the best nor the universal reason for its ob servance. Many feel no such need. Some con stitutions will work ''' days in the year and then dance the old year out ami the new year in by way of sterling iu fresh to repest the name thing over.
