Just like a mill, whereto for grinding come
A crowd of folk of every sort and kind.

REQUISITES FOR GOING TO LAW.
Wisely has it been said—that he who would go to law,
Must have a good cause,
A good purse,
A good attorney,
Good evidence
And a good judge and jury—and having
all these goods, unless he has also good luck, he will stand
but a bad chance of success.
