FROM THE PRESS TO THE BAR.

Mr. ,T. A. Scott has resigned the editorship of the Tablet to practice the profession of the law. — Yulr last week's Tablet. The sanctum of the editor, The worry and the care. He quits him now with high intent, Resolved to do and dare — To win renown with wig and gown And briels a goodly share. The sanctum of the editor He le,iv( s and not in vain, If talent still can count for aught, Or gitts of mind and brain, To climb to honour up the mount Of high repute and gain. The sanctum of the editor, Tho realm of paste and " par," He now forsakes to take his place Where cute logicians are, Where lilackstone lives in massive calf And legal pundits war. The sanctum of the editor, Where oft his golden pen Delighted an*! instructed too The minds of honest n,cn, He leaves behind him for the courts, Fresh laurels there to win.

The sanctum of the editor, To play another part, Deserts he with that gold of hia, An honest, manly heart, Attuned to high philosophy, Untarnished, too, by art. The sanctum of the editor, For clients in their need, He leaves and bears away with him A mind unwarped by greed, The praises of his readers all, And our sincere —God speed !
