A Lawyer's Advice.
An Irishman by tho name of Tom
^lurphy once borrowed a sum of money
from one of his neighbors, which
Le promised to pay upon a certain
time. But month after month passed
t>y, and no signs of the agreement
t;1' being kept, his creditor at last warned
' Lira that unless he paid it upon a certain
day, he should sue for it and re
- jbovor by laWv This rather frightened
Tom, and not being able to raise the
. - frnoney, he went to a lawyer to get
advice on the matter. After hoaiing
^Torn's story through to the end, he
asked him? i
' "lias your neighbor got any writing
to show that you owe him this
JP 2fty dollars ?"
' ".Divil a word," replied Tom, quickthen,,
if you haven't the
uTottey} you can take your ewn timo;
at all events he cannot collect it by
law."
"Thnnkyer honor, much obliged,"
said Tom," rising and going to the
door.
"TTnld on. mv friend." said the
lawyer.
"Vat for?" asked Tom, in astonisht
pent.
.' You owe me two dollars."
' Vat for?"
"Why, for my advice to be sure.
You don't supposo I can livo by
.charging nothing, do you ?"
Torn scratched his head a moment
in evident perplexity, for ho had no
money, At last an idea seemed to
strike him :
"An" have yees any paper ter show
that I owes yees two dollars?" he
asked, with a twinkle in his eye.
'-Why, no, of course flot; but wjiat
dqes that signify ?"
