Judge Hoit's witchcraft.

A singular story is told Of Chief Jus.
tice Holt, a celebrated English jurist
of the last century.
When lad he was wild and fond
Of adventure. and on one occasion he
found himself without money at a
country inn. While in doubt how TO
pay his bill, he noticed a child lying
sick in the room.
Learning that ii had the ague, and
that the doctors could not cure il. he
wrote ,oae words at random on a
piece OF parchment, and told the mo.
ther tO tie it round the child's wrist,
and thus cure the ague.
The woman obeyed, and the delight
ed parents asked Holt TO accept his
board in payment for his medical ser
vices.
Years after. when Holt had become
lord chief justice, a woman was tried
before him for witchcraft.
Part Of the evidence against her
was the possession Of the very amulet
which the Judge many years previous.
Iy had himself prepared as a joke.
The woman turned out TO be Hollis
hostess, and the judge told her from
the bench how she had been deceived
For years she had used the charm
with immense success. New York

Every newspaper reporter in New
York IS my personal friend. ! have
been betrayed by about every class Of
men in the world, but never by a
newspaper man. and | believe there is
a spirit of fairness abroad in the news,
papers that is hardly TO be found any
where else. There is no man, however
poor, il he has been done an injustice,
that cannot get himself set right by
the newspaper. We find a great deal
of fault with the newspapers. Per
haps by our own indistinctness we are
reported as saying just what we did
not say, aud there is a regular riot Of
commas and semicolons and periods,
and we get used to talking about the
'blunderiug printing press. Or some.
times we take up paper full Of social
scandals and divorce cases, and We
talk about that filthy, scurrilous press,
but i could preach a whole sermon OH
the everlasting blessings of good
newspaper. \ good newspaper is the
grandsit temporal blessing that God
has given the people of this century.
In the first place all the people
read the newspapers, and the news
papers furnish the greater proportion
of the readhg to the people. They
don't read books. The old people look
for the deaths, the young look for the
marriages, the business men read the
business and financial columns, and
those who are unemployed read the
want ads Great Libraries make few
intelligent men and women, but news.
papers lift the nations into sunlight
MY idea of good newspaper is
mirror Of life itself. Some people
complain because the evil Of the world
is reported as well as the good. The
evil must be reported as well as the
good, or how will we know what to
guard against, or what TO reformi
There is chance for discrimination
as 10 how much space shall be given
TO reports of such things as prize
fights, but the newspaper that merely
presents the fair and the beautiful side
of life is misrepresentation. That
family is best qualified for the duties
of life who have told to them not only
what good there is in the world, but
what evil there is in the world, and is
told 10 select the good and reject the
evil. minneapolis Tribune.

A Dog That Waits for "Ameu."

Mr. w. S. Wells, Of Wilkesbarre,
Pa, is the possessor Of a beautiful
black and white cocker spaniel, which
for intelligence is not surpassed by any
dog in the state. Every morning, as
soon as Boss hears his master stirring
he brings his slippers, after which he
lscampers 10 the front porch for the
morning paper, always being careful
TO close the door after him. Boss
never thinks Of retiring for the night
without first saying his prayers. He
places his front feet upon a chair,
bows reverently, closes his eyes and
nothing but amen" pronounced by
his master will induce him 10 cease his
devotions.
One evening as Mr.. Wells was
closing the house for the night Boss
came in with what his master suppos
ed 10 be bone, but when ordered out
with il refused 10 obey, and insisted
upon delivering 10 Mr.. Wells what he
held in his mouth. Upon examina-
tion Mr.. Wells found, TO his great sur
prise, not a bone, but his spectacles

shortly after John Browns death.
The officers in charge Of the buildings
vouched for the identity of the irons
at the time, and Mr.. Atwood was
thoroughly satisfied with the proof.
He also formed the acquaintance Of
the old negro and his wife who had
the care of the cell where Brown was
confined.
On the day of the execution the old
man, being afraid snat he should for

Untying the dirty strip of calico
from the key, Mr. Atwood went 10

about the novel, about and around it,
in proportion TO the quantity of il hav'

What | should say 10 the nympE and
swains who propose 10 converse about

"Oh, do something from your point
OF view; an ounce Of example is worth
a ton OF generalizations; do some.
thing with the great art and the great
form; do something with life. Any
point oi view is interesting that Is a
direct impression of life.
You each have an impression col.
