The Pleasure Of being a witness.

It's pleasant thing to be witness on an
important trial; If we knew that a murder
was about being committed cross the way,
we are inclined to the Opin ion that we should
put our boots through a rapid course Of loco
motion round the corner, beyond the range of
sight and hearing, to avoid the consequences
OF being witness Being witness you are
called to the stand and place your hand on a
copy OF the Scriptu. es, in sheepskin binding,
witha cross on one side and none on the other,
to accommodate either variety of Christian
Faith. You are arraigned before two legal
gentlemen, one of whom smiles at you bland
ly because you are on his side, the other eye
irg you savagely for the opposite reason. The
gentleman who smiles proceeds to pump you
Of all you know, and having squeezed all he
wants out Of you, relentlessly hands you over
to the other, who proceeds to show you that
you are entirely mistaken in all your suppos-
itions; that you never saw anything you hav e
sworn tc0; that you never saw defendant in
your life; in short, that you have committed
direct perjury. he wants to know il yOn have
ever been in State prison, and takes your de-
NAL with the air of man who thinks You
ought 10 have been there. Asks you all the
questions over again in different ways, and
tells you with an anawe-inspiring severity to be
careful what you say. He wants to know f
be understood you to say so and so, and wants
to know whether you meant something else
Having bullied and scared you out OF your
wits, he lets you go. By and by, everybody
you have fallen out with is put on the stand,
to swear you are the biggest scoundrel they
ever knew, and not to be believed under oath.
Then the opposing counsel in summing up,
paints your moral photograph to the jury, as
a character fit to be handed down to all time
as the type ofinfamy, as a maR who had con-
spired against innocence and virtue, and stood
convicted Of the attempt The judge, in his
charge tells thejury if they believe your test =
imony, &C., &c, indicating that there is even
a judicial doubt of your yerncity, and you 60
home to your wife and family, neighbors and
acquaintance, a suspected man, all because
of your accidental presence on an unfortu-
nate occasion. Who would be a witness?
