THE IRISH WITNESS AND HIS OATH.—Does not an
Irish witness, who meditates telling a lie, think that he has
laid no perjury upon his soul, if he succeeds in chiding the
vigilance of the crier, in kissing not the cross, but his thumb?
The words of the Lord himself are beneath the cross which is
to be kissed, and in these words lying and perjury are strictly
denounced, but the popish swearer cares not for that. God
himself, present in spirit, is there to witness the false inten-
tions of the man, but he cares not for that. He thinks no-
thing, he knows nothing of type or symbol ; he would not
understand the meaning of the words if he heard theme and
his conscience is to be bound only by his own god; no sha_

dow,buTEreYsubstance staring him in the face. Swear
him not by that cruciform deity, and he swears not at all.—
