THE POET’S CORNER.

THE LAWYER’S LULLABY. Be still, my child, remain in statu quo, While I propel thy cradle to and fra, Let no involved rec inter alios Prevail ■while we are consulting inter nos. Was that a little pain in mediae res? Too bad, too bad: We’ll have no more of these, I’ll send a capias for some vise export Who knows how to 03ect the pain and stay the hurt. 2?o trespasser shall come to trouble thee, For thou dost own this house in simple fee— And thy administrators, hairs, assigns, To have, to hold, convey at thy designs. Correct thy pleadings, my own baby boy, Let there be an abatement of thy joy: . Quash every tendency to keep awake, And verdict, costs, and judgment thou-,sh»lfe take. “THE WARRIGAL.” Marton Junction.
