A JUDGE'S SAYINGS.
"'We seldom admit that we are wrong until we receive a writ foi libel." "We gather together a bundle o: prejudices and call it conscience." "Politics are pure vanity. We jon a political party, not because wt agree with it, but because it agrees with us." "A bore is a man who wishes to keep talking about him;.elf when ] wish to talk about myself." "Old proverbs arc u>cd by stupid men to clench an argument. They are mostly false. "Every rule has its exception.' How about the rule that a man must be present when lie is being shaved ?" "Our sons are terribly foolish fellows ! But from whom did they inherit their traits ?" "When you go to a City banquet pay attention, not to the master, but to the senior warden. The men who are down to-day may be up tomorrow." "There was a chaplain who preached at Leeds before the assizes on the text of 'Judge not.' It was a trifle awkward for the judges !"—From an address by Judge Rcntoul.
