Never was With Him.

About ten years since a young man ST very
good character hired horse from livery
stable to ride out to a little town about twenty
miles distant Unfortunately, about half
way out the horse was taken sick and died.
The livery mau sued him for the value of the
horse. presenting that the horse had been
,ilicd by fast riding. One Of the young
nuns witnesses (rather green, or supposed to
De, and who had peculiar way of talking
gery siow) was called to the stand and qucs-
;ioned thus by the proprietor
You are acquainted with the prisoner at
the bar"
"Y-a.as, Every slowly drawled out)
How long have you been acquainted with
him 2"
About three years"
"Well, sir, please state to the court what
Kind of reputation he bears as regards fast or
slow riding ON horseback"
"W-a-a-l, suppose if he was riding with
a company of persons who rode very fast and
he did not want to be left behind, he would
ride fast too. And if he was riding with a
company that rode very slow and he did not
want to go ahead alone, [ suppose he would
ride slow, too"
Judge, (very much enraged } 'you seem
very much inclined to evade answering ques-
tions properly. Now, sir, you have stated
how the gentleman rides when he rides in
slow company. Now, sir, wish you to state
TO the court how the gentleman rides when
he rides alone"
"W-a-a>l, having never had the pleasure
of riding with him when lie was alone, don't
think | can tell"

friendly school lie was no ways reformed, nor

perceive by the index of his mind that he is

reason phraseth it, [ catch him mapping
Hence. am Induced to believe he is not
right in the inward man Examine him, 1
bcsecch thee. thoroughly, that thou mayest.
by being well acquainted with his inward
frame and disposition, draw him from the err
rors Of his ways, and show him the path
wherein lie should 90. And when thou lay
est thy correcting hand upon him, let it be
without passion, lest thou drive him to de-
struction.
Do thou regulate his motion for the time
to come by the light that ruleth the day
and let him learn from that unerring guide the
true calculation of his table and education;
and when thou fndest him converted from
the error of his ways, and more comfortable
to the above mentioned rules, then do thou
send him home, with just bill of charges,
drawn out by the spirit of moderation, and
