A Joke from the Judicial Bench.

One OF the members OF the bar In Sar-
atoga,s who thoroughly enjoys q good
joke, relates the following, and applies
the moral to himself: Not long since he
was counsel in case before Judge Pratt,
referee, and during the progress of the
trial became little bit noisy, as he
sometimes does, when the Judge looked
up and said to him: 'sMr. -, did you
ever hear Of the man who was lost in the
woods during q Thunderstorm" On
being answered in the negative, the
Judge continued: "A5man, in attempt
ing to pass through . piece Of woods,
lost his way, and while he was in that
predicament a fearful thunder storm came
up. The woods grew awfully dark. The
roaring Of the wind and the crashing Of
the thunder was terrific. The man was
frightened, and started to pray, but, not
being used to that business, said: %
Lord, give us a little more Light, and q
little less noise!' I don't mean You,
Mr. added the Judge. The coup-
sell says that the audience supposed all
the time the Judge did mean him, and,
now that he thinks Of it himself, he in
clnes to that opinion also. Troy Times.

we scarcely spoke word during the pre-
partition for the trial. We thought thai
it would occupy the whole day, but j,
came to an unexpected termination.
Joseph MilWard was the first witness
called. He told the same story he had
told at JAMES former examination.
I remember the scene we'll. .5 s
The district attorney had asked the
questions, and having finished, said :.
esThat will do. sir.'a' s.5
Milward was about to leave the wit
ness stand when MI. Carnan spoke up:
IS. "We will cross.examine the witness
Oh, what q DISCRIMINATION that was
What an excitement there was in the
court room. 49,. :. L. X: ........ .....
The old judge dropped his spectacles,
the district attorney looked blank, the
jury scratched their heads, and the vast
crowd kept DIS still as mice, that they
might hear every word. - "
Mr.. Carnan had terreted out the whole
case, and from the mouth Of the same
witness, he proved that James Milward
and his companion were the guilty par.
ties, and that they had been aided by
many of the young men of the village
and before they had finished, the district
attorney jumped up and said:
"Let us throw this case up."
Then jamie was discharged forthwith,
and the people gathered round to shake
hands with HIM; but he hastennd away
from them ana found Maggie and me,
and together we went to the cottage.
I can't tell you all that followed; but
our grateful hearts Joined in thanksgiv-
ing to heaven for his deliverance.
Jamie could explain everything now.
He had seen MIward and Butler coming
from the vestry of the church on the
night Of the fire, and the smell of smoke
and their excited manner told him plain
~ what their Grand had been.
IL was TINS terrible knOWledge that mao
made him so nervous when he returned
home. He doubted whether to divulge
the secret or not. He came to the con-
clusion Monday night to make il public
but Milward and Butler fearing this had
anticipated him, and by perjuring them
selves had secured Jamie's arrest. Then
the lad saw how useless it would be to
make charge against his accusers, and
so he resolved to let justice work out he1
own history.
Six months later Jamie and Maggie
were married, and Lawyer Carnan was
at the wedding, and he gave to jamie a
reccipted bill tor his services, and to
Maggie the finest dress you ever beheld
jamie still works in the factory, but to
this day no one has seen Milward and
Butler in our neighbsrhood. It's in Cali.
fornia they're living, I'm told.

Gems Of Thought.

Faint not; the miles to Heaven arc but
few and short.
Clothe and wrap yourself in humility,
SO that it shall be impossible to tear from
you this covering.
There is blessing attending the min
istration Of mercy. Tho luxury of doing
good surpasses every other personal en-
joyment.
The humble man, though surrounded
with the scoru and reproach of the world,
is still in peace, for the stability of his
peace resteth not upon the world, but
upon God.
While we wrangle here in the dark,
we arc dying and passing to the world
that will decide all our controversies; and
the safest passage thither is by peaceable
holiness.
A young man cannot recover the loss he
suffers here in practice of bad habits,
though by patience and godly sorrow he
may regain the celestial companionship
of his mother in heaven.
Every man ought to endcavor at emf
hence, not by pulling others down; but
by raising himself,and enjoy the pleasure
of his own superiority, whether imaginary
or real, without interrupting others in the
same felicity.
The shortest and surest way to live
with honor in the world, is to be in re-
atty what we would appear to be; and,
if we observe we shall find that all human
virtues increase and strengthen them
selves by the experience Of them.
We look back to former times and the
struggles that then were, and wish we had
been helpers in the fight; but there is hon.
orable warfare now, or have not the cour-
age to do it if we can see, neither should
We have had vision OF courage then.
Infinite toll would not enable you tc
sweep away mist; but by ascending a
little you may often look over it all to-
gether. So it Is with our mortal improve
ment, we wrestle fiercely with vicious
habit which could have no hold upon US
if we ascend into higher moral atmos-
phere.
Mr.. Horatio Seymour compares the In
dams to Marquis de Talleyrand. OF the
redmen he is reported as saying: "They
are natural orators and diplomatists.
The finest speeches that were made to me
when I was Governor were made by the
Iroquois Indians. Yet they would not
speak except in their own language and
through an interpreter, though they spoke
English perfectly well. They reminded
me OF Tallcyrand, who would not allow
himself to speak English or be addressed
in that tongue while he was in Great
Britain, though he was fluent English
scholar.
Do you ask what. will educate your son!
Your example will educate him your con-
versation with your friends; the business
be sees you transact; the likings and dis
likings he sees you express; these will
educate him, the society you live in will
educate him; above all, your rank, your
situation in life, your home, your table,
will educate him. It is not in your pow.
er to withdraw from him the continual
influence of these things except you were
to withdraw yourself from them also
Education goes on at every instant Of
time; you can neither stop it nor turn its
course, What these have tendency to
make your child, that he will be.
