EARLY TRAlNING.--In the case before
Judge Kane. Of the United States Dis
srict Court, on Friday last, in which the
opposing parties, there was ap. incident
ip. the heasi4g Of the, cause, which ex.
cited, a, feeling of flial affection in the
heart of every one present, and proved
that the early culture of the mora. prin-
cipies by mother in the habits Of her
offspring is neve: lost upon the recipient.
a small boy was called on the stand to
testify ia the case. lie had been hand
OH board the bark Conrad, while at PEI.
nambuco, and was present d!Ysing the
controversy between tae captain and
crew. fne shaggy appearance of his
head, and the bronzed character Of his
face and neck from exposure to, a SoAAlip-.
ssn sun, at first sight WouIA seem to in
dicate carelessness and neglect; but un-
derpeath that long and matted hair the
FIRE Of intelligence cleaned from a. pair
of small and restless eyes which could
not be mistaken. The counsel for the
captain, from the extreme youth of tke
Lad, doubted whether he understood the
obligation Of the oath lie was about to
take. and, with a view to test this
knowledge, asked leave to interrogate
him.-This was granted, and: the follow
ing coHoquy took place:
Counsel -"My lad, do you understand,
the obligation of an oath?'
ROy.-"Yes, sir, ! DE-
CounScl.-"What is that oblgation?"
Boy.-"To speak the Truth, and keep
nothiag hid"
(oumsel.-"Whefe did you. learn, this,
my, lad?''
Boy-"From my Mokhaf. sir, replied
The lad, with a look of pride which
showed how sauch he esteemed the eaaiY
moral principles implanted in his breast
by her to whom was committed his
physical and, moral existence. How tru-
ly has it been said, "that bread cast upon
the waters will return after many days"
This answer caused a thrill, of Joy to
animate, the bosoms of the auditory, and
every face was lighted up with satisfac-
tion The lad was instantly admitted, to
testify.-Nat. Intelligemcer.

AN EXTENSIVE SYPHON Some time
ago proposition was circulating in the
Western papers to supply the Ohio river
with water from Lake Erie by means oi
huge canals. This proposition was aband.
oned for the very sensible reason that the
head waters of the Ohio are about one
thousand feet higher than the surface Of
the Lake, aud. as water generally refuses
to run up hill, it would be all uphill bus
mess to force water from Lake Erie into
the Ohio. But the indefatigable Cincin-
natians are cogitating a pan for over
coming this slight difficulty. The Com
mercial says it has heard it suggested
"that an abundant supply could be drawn
from the Lake to point near Portsmouth
through syphons, and the Commercial in.
nocently asks, is itpractable2 Ofcourse,
the st. Louis Intelligencer says it's prac.
ticable. Tho only trouble is the size of
the syphon. Make one about one hun
dred feet in diameter and about fifteen
miles high, and there will not be the
slightest difficulty in draining the Lake.
BY the by. why not build syphous at
Chicago aud empty Lake Michigan into
the Mississippil 1t would create sPlen'
ded water power at this eud Of the pipe
