u TWILIGHT.
/. Oh the calm and holy twilight
That loved 30 we'll Of yorc,
Now Is sadness, only sadness
Since my lovod comes back no moro.
And walk within the shadows,
Longing for gentle tone,
And the touch OF olaspng fingers
Which once held In my own.
Through the vacant room wander
Where together we have beeni
Only silence Is around me,
Aud the darkness gathers IN.
And think with bitter sobblng
OF tho twilight when she died
Holding her snowy fingers
A. she crossed the foaming tide.
Then think again while weeping
OF twilight yet TO como,
When my loved will give mo greeting
To her new and radiant home.
Nhon sgfAs twilights all have faded,
And the darkness comes no more,
We shall walk again together,
On the everlasting shore.

Ignorance is named the mother of
devotion, yet if it falls on hard ground it
is the mother of atheism II in soft ground
il is the parent superstition; but IL it pro-
ceeds from evil or mean opinions Of God, it
is an evil of great impiety, and in some
sense, is as bad as atheism Taylor.

RULES or EVIDENCE.

To the Editor ef The Chicago Tribune:
S1n: l nm tempted to offer you few lines in
anBwcr to your correspondent 50. N. H." am
not All iconoclast, and would not Bwoop away at
a blow tho accumulated wisdom OF ages. No
moro would / sit down, acknowledge that all
wisdom is embodied in tho opinions Of the past,
and refuse all advance toward higher wisdom.
In fact hold that there is no question that hu-
nlau wisdom haB ovor settled, however venerable,
or however enHhrined In contributions. laws or
proverbial nax1nH, which may not be reviewed,
ro-examined, and rosottlod. The question OF
tho rules Of evidence ia such caBo, a. I can
prove:
First, by tho admission Of opponents oven,
il havo any. For example, it was but fow
years ago that universally, in tlin country and
III England, ono Of the bast-sottlcd and most
important rules Of ovdonco, NJ thon hold, was
TINT no porpon Interested in tho event Of suit
should DO allowed to testify. Now, everybody
adms TINT it il most conducive to truth 10 allow
both sides to toll each their own stories.
My second argument ia addressed to tho con-
bly, not poraon in tho world WHO, it llo desired
to satisfy his own mind aa to tho guilt or i1ino-
cenco Of party, would not want to hoar tho
wholo facts in tho caso from every source, aud

sire to know what llo would say.

flat the ono solo Office Of tho rules OF

should twelve men bo put in n strait jacket Of
