tIsy Rev. H. NJ. Hoyt.)

This incident, told by news re-
porter, was published some years
ago. The scene was in a police
court~in one OF our large cities, New
Orleans, If remember correctly.
1T was Monday morning and nc
usual array of prisoners, some
twenty-five or thirty in number, had
Jeea Brought in fer trial. Some
were old, hardened cases who had
often aeen there be.ore, and were
Indifferent to their surroundings.
Others were new offenders. and some
were there for the first time, and
were keenly conscious of the shame
ana disgrace! OF being in such posi-
ton.
The Judge had jus: taken his seat
TO open court, when from a room DE
low some one began singing in a
clear, strong, melodious voice:
Last night lay a-sleeping.
had a dream so fair;
stood in oA Jerusalem
Besides the temple there"
The officer in charge Of the pris-
oners stepped forward to the desk,
and asked llhe judge il he should
step the singing. The Judge asked:
WHO is the singer" The officer
replied, that he wes a member OF an
opera troupe that had been stranded
in the city, and that this man had
been arrested for some Sigh. Of
tense, and was awaiting his trial.
The judge answered: no do not
stop him. Let him sing"
So the song went on, every word
clear and distinct, telling of tie
song of the children in the Temple.
as they sang: 'fHosanna in Jhe high
est; Hosanna to our King" while
angels answered back the glad re-
frain:- Hosanna in the highest;
Hosanna to our King"
The prisoners began to grow rest
less. Some memories were being
awakened in their minds that hal
torg seemed dead. Presently an old
hardened criminal STEPPED forward
and said. Judge, l can't stand this
aay longer. We are here to be
tried and are ready to take pur pun
inhment, whatever it is, hut that
that" ana here he choked w. and
could say no more.
Ana then the song went on into
the second stanza, telling of the
shadow of the Cross that stood upon
the hill, and OF the dapkaess5 and
GOODNESS and silence that fell. upon

was husned-lbut still the angels
sang: ,aosanna in the highest; Ho-
sauna 10 our King" And thea one
CT the youngest of the prisoners, a
mere stripping of a lad, began to
sch audtb!y. And then he cried out:
oh, mother, mother" and leaning
his head against the wall he Sob
bed in agony OF grief. The song
had awakened very tender memories
Of home, of mother, Of the, limo
cence of childhood.
And still the song went on into
the third stanza, telling of theynew
heavens and the new earth, and The
glory thereof; closing with that
glad, triumphant shout of victory:
Stag, for the night is DER. Ho-
sauna in the highest; Hosanna for
evermqre."
The song ceased: silence fell UPON
the court room. The judge looked
INFO the faces of the prisoners. He
saw chat the song had done for them
more than any punishment he could
tniict, so with few words OF kind
advice, and gentle admonition, he
dismissed the prisoners, and closed
the court
