ANGRY WORDS.

Angry words are slightly spoken
In rash and thonshtless hour;
Brightest Inns of life are broken
BY their deep insidious power
Hearts in spired byNarmest feeling
Ne'e7 before anger stirred
Oft rent past human healing
BY single angry word.
Poi3on-drops of care or sorrow,
Bitter poison~drops are they,
Weaving for the coming monow
Sadest memories ofto-day.
Angry words 20 let them never
From thy tongue unbridled slip
May the hearts best im7uls e ever
Check them ere they soil the lip!
Love is much too pure and holy;
Friendships too sacred far,
For moment reckless folly
Thusto desolate and mar,
Angry words ae lightly spoken,
BIterost thoughts are rash'y stirred
6rirhts links of life are broken
By single angry word.

AN HONEST WITNESS.

sent themselves to the notice Of a reporter,
are the efforts made 10y lawyers to draw the
testimony they desire from refractory or
stubborn witnesses. We saw Milesan

who fairly bothered one Of the shrewdest
lawyers in Philadelphia" The case was an
assault and battery, in which the exotic in

Yet fishes all. both great and small,

And change, y"n know, is never sure;
And 'twcre '":trine new and strange,
That places high are most secure
And though the tickle god may smile,
And yield the sccptre and the crown,
