Imprisonment Of Witnesses,

!tquite often happens that crimi-
nal, while awaiting trial for his offence,
is at liberty on bail, while some unfor-
tunate man who saw his crime, and Sc
cured his arrest therefore, lies in prison
for days and weeks, because, from
poverty or lack of friends, he cannot
give the required bonds to appear
against him. No doubt, if this reten-
ton of witnesses were done away with,
some rogues would go scot-free, by buy
ing off or putting out of the way the
men whose testimony would tell against
them. On the other hand, it is manifest
ly unjust that an innocent person, not
even charged with guilt, should be re-
tanned in a prison-cell, to the great
detriment of his business and his
health. This matter has been often
agitated, but the abuse continues. If it
is absolutely necessary to lock up our
witnesses for the sake of convicting
rogues, they should at least have sepa-
rate quarters and better fare than the
regular prisoners, and should not be
forced to make vicarious atonement for
others sins.

Important Discovery at Jerusalem.

An important discovery has been
made at Jerusalem by Mr.. c. Schick.
Capt. Warren, while conducting the ex-
ca7ations made at Jerusalem by the
Palestine exploring fund, explored a
remarkable rock-hewn passage leading
southwark toward the temple area from
the subway at the Convent of the Sis
ters of Zion. Mr.. Schick has found a
continuation of this passage, or rather
aaueduct, as it is now proved to be,
toward the north wall of the city, a
little east of the Damascus gate. At
this point the aqueduct has been cut in
solid rock, which lies in front of and
communicates with the well-known cav
erns it is, therefore, older than these,
and can hardly be assigned later date
than that of the Kings of Judah. Mr..
Schick was unable at the time to follow
up his discovery, but the Palestine ex-
pforation fund have taken the matter
in hand and hope to find the source
from which the water is derived. The
existence of the aqueduct lately dis
covered is strong argument in favor
of the belief that the city of David oc-
cupied portion of Mount Moriah, and
it may possibly enable rs to identify
the pool OF some source near it as the
Upper Gihon, and Silvaur as Gihon In
the valley.

To go the way by which had helped
to save Andrews was, knew, impossi-
BILE; but I had hopes that by going
round by one of the old workings we
might reach him, and 1 told my COM
panion what I thought.
Turning short off as soon as we were
at the bottom, L led the way, holding
my lamp high, and climbing and
stumbling over the broken shale that
had fallen from the roof, for this part of
the mine had not been worked for
years. By pressing on, l found that
we were right, and gradually nearing
the point at which the accident had oc-
Cured.
AS we got nearer, became aware of
the air setting in strong draught in
the direction in which we were going,
and soon after we could make out a dull
glow, and then there was deep roar.
The pit was indeed on fire, and blazing
furiously, so that as we got nearer,
trembling-Im not ashamed to own it,
for it was an awful ight-there was the
coal growing of a fierce red heat but
fortunately the draught set forward to-
ward an old shaft fully quarter of a
mile further on, and so we were able to
approach till, with a cry of horror, l
leapt over heap after heap of coal torn
from roof and wall by the explosion to
where, close to the fire, lay the body of
John Kelsey-so close that his -clothes
were already smouldering; and the fire
scorched my face as L laid hold of him
and dragged him away.
How we ever got him to the foot of
the shaft never could tell.
have some faint recollection of hear
ing a cheer, and of seeing the dim light
of the chill December day but the only
thing that made any impression upon
me was a voice which seemed to be
Mary's, and touch that seemed to be
that of her hand.
And it's not much more that can
recollect, only being in a wild, feverish
state, wandering through dark passa-
ges, with fire burning my head, and
coal falling always, and ready to crush
me; and then seemed to wake from
deep sleep, and to lie thinking in
weak, troubled way about getting up.
It was month, though, before 1
could do that, and then there was
tender arm to help me, and soft cheek
ever ready to be laid to mine for in
those long, weary hours of sickness
Mary had been by my side to cheer me
back to health, and l had learned that
was loved.

A MINE ON FIRE.

| was twenty-five years old and was
working as regular pitman on the day
and night shift, when fell in love with
Mary Andrews, the daughter of one of
our head pitmen.
Not that dared to have told her so.
I thought, but somehow the influence
of Mary used to lift me up more and
more, till 1 should no more have thought
of going to join the other pitmen in a
public house than of trying to fly.
Itwas about this time that got talk
ing to young fellow about my age who
worked in my shift. John Kelsey his
name was, and l used to think it a pity
that a fine clever fellow like he was,
handsome, stout and strong, should
be so fond of the low habits, dog-fight-
ing and wrestling SO popular among
our men.
- was going along one evening past
old Andrews house, when the door
opened for moment as if some one
was coming out, but, as if l had been
seen, it was closed directly. In that
short moment, though, had heard a
laugh, and that laugh l was sure was
John Kelsey's.
Time slipped on, and could plainly
see one thing that troubled me sorely-
John was evidently making an outward
show of being hardworking fellow,
striving hard for Improvement, so as to
stand well in old Andrews eyes, while
1 knew for a fact that he was as
drunken and dissipated as any young
fellow that worked in the pit.
] could not tell Andrew this, nor
could not tell Mary. If she loved him
it would grieve her terribly, and be dis
honorable as well, and perhaps he might
improve. l can tell him, though,
thought, and made up my mind that
would and meeting him one night, evi
IDENTIFY hot and excited with liquor,

Hints for the Housewife.

Homemade Corner Etagere.-A simple
etagere can be made by fitting in an
angle of the room set of shelves, lit
tie rounding in front, and decreasing
slightly in size and in distance apart as
they rise to height of about five feet
from the floor. Each shelf should be
covered by reps, or cloth, of color to
correspond with that of the curtains, or
other upholstering of the room, and
trimmed on the edge with woolen
fringe of the same shade, put on with
invisible furniture tacks. If the shelves
are used as book-rack, this fringe,
which can readily be brushed, serves a
useful as well as an ornamental pur-
pose. The dust all collects on the
fringe, which thus protects the tops OF
the books beneath.

Saturate a small piece OF sponge or

remedy for soft corns is common chalk
rubbed on the corn every day, and a
piece of cotton wool worn between the
toes affected, to prevent pressure the

FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS.
The Little Traveller.

Tho A1ttie Traveller.
Here's what saw ono morning,
In the midst of storm of snow:
A great black wet umbrella,
With two little legs blow;
Two such plump little ankles,
In bright-red stockings dressed;
Two little feet in morocco,
Deep in the wet snow pressed.
What could the child be doing,
Alone, and on such dayP
Use going to see my Damma ~
That's what heard him say.
Off trotted my chubby traveller
Before I could reach his side:
And though coaxed and shouted,
Never a word he replied.

But I'm sorry-I do not know. e. NJ.

In mldWinter, when everything is CONCEALED,
the glaciers that hang on the slopeso the Alps
are SO rigid that you may fire artillery at the
base of the mountain without destroying them; !;
but when the warm breath of spring comes,
the shout of shepherd boy will bring down the
avalanche. y
The overthrow of parties is now taking
place throughout this land. The people are
coming up to save the country that they love,
regardless of old party lines, and their mighty
shout will bring down the avalanche of popu-
lar Indignation that is to crush the AGminstra-
ton forever.
Some of you object to Mr.. Greeley; but to
accomplish great good, sacrifices must BIZ
made-Eot a sacrifice of principle, but of party.
The night before the battle of Bosworth, the
two camps were pitched in sight of each other.
All over the field the sound of preparations for
the coming fight was heard; armorers closing
rivets up, and the tramp Of armed men.
One of Englands best men, one of the nObil
ity really, who had borne the rule of Richard
III as long as he could, decided to take the
field against him. The King surprised him,
and seized his son as a hostage; but still when
the battle was aboutto open, Lord Stanley rode
to the lines of the eonquering Richmond, and
struck for the deliseranee of England from the
rule of tyrant and monster.
Mr.. Greeley is worthy Of trust -Eminently
sincere, he proposes now a full amnesty, per-
feet reconciliation. He would have the North
and the South strike hands over the gulf of
blood that has rolled between the two sections,
and be friends forever.
| trust that when the Baltimore meeting
shall assemble, there will be no divided coun-
sells, but that all, forgetting past differences,
will say with perfect unanimity, ,as they look
to the action of the Cincinnati Conventions;
Live or die, sink or swim, survive or perish,
we give our hearts and our hands to this nem-
inatioa for the sake of the country.
