Wisdom of Childhood.

Justice Maule is regarded as the lead
ing judicial wit in England. He had
doubts as to the credibility of a witness
on one occasion, and the man declared
that he had been welded to truth
from infancy.
THAT may be-" said Judge Maule.
''but the question is, how long have you
been divorced?"
A little girl was a witness before him,
and he proceeded to ascertain whether
she knew the nature of an oath. The
child, in answer to questions, said she
would go to heaven if she told the truth,
but would go to the other place If she
told lies.
Are you sure of that. my dear?'' Jus
