great fuss about the previous witnesses speaking
SO low that he could not hear them.

than before, rs If to atone for his fault speak
ing too low.
"Iave you been drinking this morning :"
asked the lawyer, who had now entirely lost tins
command OF his temper at the roars of laughter
which burst from crowded audience
"Yes sir" said the witness, frankly.
"And what have you been drinking, sir ::
Look at the jury-don't look ct me, sir, in tia,
way"
"Cotfee, sir"

at the jury well, SIR continued the learn ed
counsel, 'you say YOU had something in your

that something was"
''Sugar sir answered the witness without a
movement OF muscle
There was another burst Of "fsrtive laughter"
throughout the court rsom

the Court "kut he is something worse Now,

A CHILD'S TRAlNING.-In one

tent instruction in early life which
will give every child the opportu-
nifty OF making the most of him
self. Therefore, let theinquisitive
mind Of child be properly in
stracted and established i'll physi-
cal, intellectual and moral truth;
let him thus understand himself,
what he is, why he is here, where
he is going, and it is not in hnmam
natHre 10 deny that that youth
will be better able to begin life's
duties, to meet its trials, to enjoy
its sweets, and to bear its ills,
than children who are denied
these natural and friendly helps.

In the silent midnig git watches,
List-thy bosom-door!
How it knockcth knocketh, knocketh,
Knocketh evermore!
Say not It's thy pulses heating
IT'S thy heart Of sin;
Tis thy Saviour knocks, and crieth
Rise, and let me in
Death comes down with reckless footstep
To the hall and hut;
Think you, Death will stand knocking
Where the door is shutl
Jesus waiteth--waiteth;
Bat thy door is fast
Grieved, away thy Saviour goeth,
Death breaks in at last.
Then It's thine to stand--entrcating
Christ to let thee in;
At the gate Of heaven beating,
Waiting for thy sin.
Nay, alas thou foolish virgin,
Hast thou then forgot,
Jesus waited long to know thee,
But he knows thee not !
