Tho Hon, J. A, Jameson yonterday evening dolivered an addrosa before the Litorary Socic- ties of the Chicago Univoraity, in Untversity Placo Baptist Church, A large audiouco was present, Ue took for his subject THE LIBENAL PNOFEASIONS, After sketching in genoral terma tho vocatlors Included in tho titlo—lawyer, preacher, phy- sicilan, teachor, and journaliet—ho proceedea to describe their distinctive peculiatitics, He said tho range of faculties brought into play by the calling of a lawyor wore not of tho highest. ‘Vuoy woro mainly thono of the understanding, and tho end of their oxorciso was tho ascortain- tment of Juatico. Tho lawyer way a casuist, and sometinios in tho bad sonao of the word. After making o discrimiuntive eriticiam on tho diatinc- tive characteristics of legal culture, the speaker said that, amuying ae it might eoom to lus audi- tors, the lawyer was A VERY MODEST MAN. Ho waa trained to seif-distrust from the yory todo Jn which trials were couducted. ‘The Iaw- yor felt that ut every step of his caso thoro was danger of disastor, aud the habit of his ond was rather to under- estimate tho valuc of hia preparations than to risk defeat by overconfldence, The lawyor was combativo, bold, and active, yet pre-eminently cautious. Tho lawyor was apt to 0 couxervative in politics, us bis inpulda was to stand by tho existing law. Tho speaker cited instances of the obstinate political obstructive. ness of bodies of Iawyors, Dut wlule this waa tito tinder monarchical governments, in this country tho fiucet aud mont tilustrious atates- mon had come from smong thoranks of tho lawyers, In tho republic the pooplo wero sovereign, and the {natinct of tha lawyer was to gusert the prerogatives of tho Novorelgn. Honce, jn monarchies, tho mon who did most to oxalt tho prorogativea of tho crown wore the lawyers, Lite the needlo to the Polo, the lawyera of England havo always been true to tho sovercign, Lawyors were probably tho Rroatest roadors of all profostional mou. Too commonly Looks were employed by thom merely a8 means to Kecute H Partictilar case, and their roading did not, therefore, indicate o real taste for reading. Tho average Iawyer, outside of his Immediate lino, wae apt t2 Lo NARROW-MINDED AND ONF-SIDED, As logislators woro muinly recruited from among lawyers, to tho lack “of thorough culture in that profession was greatly duo the low tone of Logislatures, ‘tho American Bar lind been steadily lowering its tonuo forveara, Where waa now the lawyer who sould write ‘The Fed- oralist?” ‘Tho legal profession did not enter into tho montat ad moral work of tho ago. It Jookod afer the main chanco, monoy-making. ‘Thoy were not meu of largo faith or oasy boliei, as tho logical faculty was dominant th their minds. Under whatuver raligious banner ho may enlist, if you scratch tho lawyer you fud tho hb- eral or skeptic. To mako his development eyin- metiical ho uooded a quickouing os his higher focultics, . ME rnysictan oxbibited s strong tendauoy to sclontific resoarch and to bensvolcnt endeavor. Ho was cotmralled in tho course of lis profosslon todo n great deal of benovolent work for tho peer, aud that opera- tion lod hin into worky of charitable entorprist Some bad thought that in the capacity to de- yolop greatnees the medical profeusion wan superior to any. ‘he profession furuivhed 5 larger proportion, compared with tho othors, of MATEIMALISTS AND BKEVTICA, ‘Tho lecturer wittily deecribod tho crowds of raw and uncultured graduates turned out from the mi dicel schools to spread ovor the land like grasshoppers.

A pocutiarity of tho profarsion was ite tendoucy to spite into antagonistic partios, A disadvantage for the culture of the profession was the lack of opposition and criticism in tho practice of the phvaician. ‘Tho sick mau bolioved in his doctor and bis “"pathy,” and submitted bimeolf with- out question. ‘Tho carth bid the physician's failures, while the sun it up bis succosues, Tho iniluenco of Tite cLenay . was vory creat, oapecialty with those in whom tue emutional dominated, ‘Iho vo-callod sclouce of theology was practically the eolo flold of in- tellectual exercise for tho clorgyinan, and uls culture was apt to bo narrow, ‘They assumed tho ontire truth of that which thoy profosscd to ex- aniiue, so thatall deductiona they hold to be truo, and go waudored iuto DREARY PLATITUDES. Tho various churches bod been tho reats of wairing schools, ongaged in ecnsoloss and bitter contests, ‘Ihe effect of crocd-mongering was diyastrova not only to the causa of roligion and virtue, but ta those who accopted croeds, Ic who crusbed down his intellect to accept screed committed montal suicide. ‘The speaker said that when he read many of the dogmss in thoso confos siona of faith, he sometimes won- dered how porsoas who subseribed to them could belp laughing in cach other's facew. Nev- crtholnss, coufessions uf fulth wero necessary, but they should ba INDIVIDUAL, NOT NATIONAL, They should bo pronounced to (cd, not to 5 priest. Doubt ehould not bo called sin. Whats man should think was for himself alone. Wuat he did only concerned his fellows. The Oburch might lay down rules of action, but had no mght to proseribo beliefs to men, The bed of Procrustes was dogmatic the- clogs, Another effect of shu intelloctual narrowness of the clorical profession was that it unfitted ministers for dealing with social and political questions, ‘tho speaker cited the temparauce questions, ‘Cho problem of liquor uwaga was one of expodienoy, but tha mluistor, by the tendency of bis profession, must lay down sliarp divisions between good and evil, and heuce were FANATIO AND UXCOMPHOSIAING, The epesker ridiculed the movement en- giveored by preachers to socure a recognition of God and the Christian roligiou in a puroly civil instrument such ax the Constitution, Ifo had known aclorgyman who couuidered tire iueur- anco an attempt to excapo tho judgment of God, and another who thought cromation would destroy the popular belief in tho immortality of the soul, ‘The business of TEACHING Raves degree of oulturo not usually found any- where aut of professional circlea. It wus eae sentially a cultured profession. The lecturer vkotchud ditforeut clases of teachers, pointing out their distinctive peouiiarities with gieat scuteners. Soine of thy most advanced thinkers of the times wero teachers, but it was doubtful whothor the best part of their culturo camo from their distinctive dutic teachers, The teacher who was contout to be ai an ine atructor, and did pot continue himself to bes | sobolar, was Bob aps to luccease greatly in cule ° tnre. Too long devotion to teaching had a ton- dency to make nen ONACULA AND OPINIONATED, unless they applied a corrective by association nith thoir peers in intelligouce and erudition. Probably no profassion oxhibited wo many lives of pationt woif-denial, In Jiterature, the terchor ga nuch had produced butiittle. Alshough many omimont writers had been teachers, that had gon- crally heon an jucidental calling. ‘The profes sion was lacwingg io high rewards, and did not offer auch incettiven to ambition as others. POVERTY AND ONSCURITY were too often the lot of tho teachor: 1t wag this profession that molded the characters of men, vet the ayerago pay wan that of a villago Diackemith. What whonder that polities wero. corrupt whon the xchool-louse tas slighted and tho teacher starved. SOUNNALIN was apt to be suporiicial, although taking a wide Tangd.

Tho averago jourualat corrapted while be do- veloped Lin nativetown, The crime, ecurrility, and slang of the day was spread before the whole pubic, ‘The sing against good taste in Journals wero continual. ‘Tho lecturer soverely denounced INTERVIEWING aan offense against good taste and deconcy, Ifo spoxo of the invasion of private nphts often committed by home cinsees of journals. It was sometitnes sald that the function of a jonrual was judicial, aud any one could be hauled Leforo its bench, But with tho nowspaper-court tho judginont always preceded tho trial, and. asa rule, the Judgment won never roversed. Were such an engine of private srrong to continue, tho next magna charts woul have to protect the peoplo against tho power of the press, A ribald and lying prose waa an intolorable popular wrong, Taking a genaral survey of professional lite, the lecturor a7guod that breadth and symmetry soto too often overlooked in narrowing the of- fort t@ the securing of depth of special attain. mont. Ho gave a number of instauces of tho srpertority of general culture over morely tech nical training, even for special pursuits. The loarned profexelons necded to supplement their spectalticn by the traversing of other fiolds of eeionce. If the clergyman would STUDY SOME LAW hia theology would bo tho better for it. The physician ehonld give some of his Icisure hours to poory nnd metaphysical spcenlation. The lawyer ought to correct the dryness of his ine tellcctual habit by copious infusions of gencral literaturo, ‘Tho ‘teacher should havo a higher idea of tho dignity of his profession, and nat bound bis studies by the domands of bis ordi- nary work, he journalist, to make lis in- fluaoce pormanont aud benoficont, should peck fo renech rolid attatnmente, 1 was of xroatcr Importance that {ho PREBH BUOULD NG CULTURED than that ite sister professions should be ao, Of fn weionce of politics thelr uation was im ignor- ance, Tho Amotican principle for tho conduct of tho State was, that to the victors belong the spoils.

Although the woather was oxcoodiugly warm, * tho address was listened to with close attention, Dr. Angell spoke In bis naual Lappy mannor for an kour upon tho subject: ' Mow on Curistian principlos one may fix upon his callng in life.” He said that the question, “What purauit in Ifo shail I follow?” is tho first that preecuts itself to the callego graduato, aud it should bo xuswered only after curoful deltboration, Lives of mon are of greater power for good or ill than ongines of war, All depoods upon tho spirit with which o cours in life ia puraued, ‘Tho gront principle that ehould govern us ix that our lives should bo mado to work im Pormony with to Divino wilt and pleasure. ‘Then only cau we ntilain to the Jurgout renults, An oppoeito caursc’ muat wauto much onergy ond force, Such a course is found in tho exciusivo pursuit of woalth, The lesson that Clrist taught the soung man should ever bo in mind.
