EXAMINING A WITNESS.

Everybody knows Mr.. R., the rather
successful criminal lawyer of Philadelphia,
and the peculiar tact with which he usually
succeeds in eliciting the truth from wit
ness.
He once in while, however, meets with
queer customer, with whom he can do
nothing whatever. Such one turned up
before a committing magistrate, short
time since:
A Mr.. Doyle was complained of for
keeping disorderly house in Shipper
street. The complainant engaged r. to
attend to his case, and put Doyle through
course of sprouts. The first witness ex-
amined was Cornelius O'Neil. We give
his examination by R.:
"Do you know the defendant"
"Never man better"
"What kind of house does he keep2"
"a brick house."
II don't mean that; what are its peculi-
arities p
1.-TWO stories, with back kitchen that
joins out to McGarry's fence"
"You still misunderstood me; | wish to
know the reputation of the house Is it
good or bad p
"Bad entirely"
r. called the attention of the Court to
this answer, and desired the magistrate to
take note. The magistrate did so.
"What do you mean when you say the
reputation Of the house is bad 7"
"That it has the devils own chimney
and roof that leaks like seive"
"You still misunderstood me, O'Neil;
let us try again. What kind of people
visit the house Z"
"Men and women principally; at least
that is the only kind l ever met there"
"Well, what kind of women are they |"
Female women, as near as / could
Judge"
swell, what is their character p
"Only one of them has that article"
''The Court will please notice that"
"Only one of the females has a charac-
ter And which one is that 7"
"a young lady by the name of Nc
Shane"
"She, you think, has character?"
"Think / know it. | saw it on Mon
day"
"Saw what 7"
"Her character. It was written by
Father Doyle with good pen"
"You still persist in misunderstanding
me-"
Let us try once more. Have you
ever seen women of the town at Doyle's 2"
"No, sir, not of the town, but raft of
them from the country
"By the women of the town, O'Neil, l
mean common, vicious women"
"What do ye sayp
II say bad women. Have you ever
seen such women drinking and dancing at
Doyle's2"
"Ah mushal listen to that AM is it
the likes of Doyle that would allow such
people to misuse his shop? By the pow
ers of Cromwell, if his boy Mick was here,
but he'd twist your nose till yer could use
it for gimlet Arrah; go away with ye,
BLACKBOARD, to say that of dacint man.
If it were not molestin' the Court, I'd peel
me coat and make founder of We in less
time than donkey could eat thistle p
Here O'Neil became SO excited that r.
told him he could stand aside to make
room for the next witness.
The case resulted in verdict of acquit-
tai.

AN ALLEGoRY.-A young man once pick
ed up sovereign lying in the road. Ever
afterwards as he walked along, he kept bis
eyes steadfastly fixed upon the ground in
the hope of finding another. And in the
course of long life he did pick up, at diff
ferent times, good amount of silver and
gold. But all these days he was looking
for them hesaw not that heaven was bright
above him and nature beautiful around
He never once allowed his eyes to look up
from the mud and filth in which he sought
the treasure; and when he died rich old
man, h, only knew this fair earth of ours
as di. ~ road to pick up money as you
walk along.

THE LAMP AT SEA.

BIZ LoNeFELLow.
The night was made for cooling shade,
For silence, and for sleep;
And when was child, / laid
Ny hands upon my breast and prayed,
And sank to slumbers deep.
Child-like as then lie tonight,
And watch my lonely cabin light.
Each movement of the swaying lamp
Shows how the vessel reels,
And DER her deck the pillows tramp,
And all her timbers strain and cramp,
With every shock she feels;
It starts and shudders while it burns,
And in its hinged socket turns.
Now swinging slow, and slanting 10,
1t almost level lies;
And yet know, while to and fro
watch the seeming pendule go,
With restless fall and rise,
The steady shaft is still upright
Posing its little globe of light.
0 hand of God Q lamp at peace
promise Of my soul
Though weak and tossed, and i'll at ease,
Amid the roar of shifting seas
The ships conyulsive roll
own with love and tender awe,
Yon perfect type of faith and law.
A heavenly trust my spirit calms,
My soul is filed with light;
The ocean sings His solemn psalms,
The wild winds chant; cross my palms,
Happy as if tonight,
Under the cottage roof again,
/ heard the soothing summer rain
