A GOOD WITNESS.
The boy Had Only One Punishment for
All Sins

The boy Had Only One Punishme emit for
All Sins
A good story is told by Mn Montague
Williams in his Later Leaves" concerning
an argument that took place as to whether
or not a certain boy Of very tender years
was old enough to be sworn as a witness.
At the suggestion of one of the counsel en-
gagged in the case he was Intercepted by
the judge, when the following colloquy
took place
"Now, my little man." said the Judge
"do you know what will become Of you if
you tell an untruth?"
Hell fire !" said the boy, without NOV
"Well, and what will become of you"
continued his lordship, 'if you play truant
and do not go to school?'
"IIell fire" said the boy.
"What if you don't like your brothers
and sisters?"
"Itell fire." again said the boy.
"What il YOU stay out late when your
mother sends you on an errandY'
"lIell fire.
What if you spill the milk2"
"IIell fire."
His lordship ran through a long list Of
faults. some of them OF n very slight de-
scrlption but the penalty was always the
same-"lIell fire."
At the end OF this examination the
learned counsel said:
"My lord, hardly think this little boy
sufficiently intelligent or instructed for
his evidence 10 BIO admissible"
Indeed !" exclaimed the Judge. "Well,
now. entirely differ from you. lie seems
a very good little boy, and il he grows up
In his present belief, and thinks the direst
punishment will be visited upon him for
every fault he may commit lac will prob
ably make much better man than you

At about 10 or IL o'clock, on the 9Th,
you hear great deal of noise going on in

of street urchins with paper caps and
paper streamers, singing, while two Of
them carry chair on which Is tied an
effigy of Guy Fawkes, with one Of the
