During a recent trial the following
occurred, varying the monotony of the
proceedings. Among the witnesses
was one as verdent a specimen of hu-
manity as one would wish TO meet
with. After a severe cross-examina-

paused; and then, putting on look of
severity, and an ominous shake of the
head exclaimed
"Mr. Witness has not an effort been
made to induce You to tell different
story?"
"a different story from what have
told. sir?"
THAT is what / mean"
Eyes, sir; several persons have tried
to get me to tell different story from

"Waal, | guess you've tried bout as

An old Newport lady is great be-

coal oil on the brain. And few even
ings ago, while some old women friends
were calling upon her, one of them re-

II don't know what's the matter
with my Johnny's knee. It's swelled,
and it makes him so lame he can hardly
walk"
"Bathe it in coal oil" said the old
lady; I'll guarantee you it'll cure it."
Another one said,-
"My Sarah has such dreadful pain
between the eyes"
"Well, all she's got to do is to rub it
well with coal oil three or four times
a day, and it'll cure her." hastily re-
marked the old lady.
"Well," said the third woman, 81

guarantee you it will surely cure her."
returned the old lady, in good earnest.
