ONE of the peculiar usages of our
day, and one W hich furnishes much
food for thought, is the readiness
with which judges and juries accept
for the truth, the unsubstantiated
testimony of children. AS rule a
child can be depended upon to tell
the truth, but there is one factor
that should come in for it's share of
consideration, and that is t h t
children can. and have been coached
by designing parties into making
exaggerated and even false state
ments. 1t quite often happens that
stronger efforts ere made to convict
an accused person, than are made by
the accused to clear himself, and it
can hardly be expected of the accu-
sers that they Will permit SO insig-
nifcant thing as clean minded
child to stand between the accused
and prison, or even the gallows.

AN organization in Austria is
sending pamphlets to the Serfs re-
siding in this country, containing a
set of questions inquiring as to the
cause of their leaving the old coun-
try; the number of countrymen in
their neig hborhood, the conditions
which surround them here and etc..
with the evident purpose of taking
steps to put stop to the great drain
on the population of the Austrian
Empire. 1t will, however, require
some pretty strong efforts in the way
Of reforms, to overcome the fasina-
ton that the U. S. holds for the i'm
poverished, liberty seeking peasan-
try of Europe.

are comparatively few who care, to
note these processes; most people,
we are inclined to think, prefer to
wait, afarffr from natures laboratory,
till she has completed her wonderful
work, and then dash at once into the
midst of the splendid panorama.
1t requires, however, no little
amount of refinement and culture to
appreciate rural beauties. Those
to manor born' are frequently in
sensible to their charm. Among
boys and girls who are brought up
on the farm, are found few contented
with their lot. They see only the
toll; they think not of the ADVANTAGES
OF such a life. The rosy checked
lassy Will weary of the monotony of
a country life, as she grows older,
and the flowers which she 50 gaily
gathered to be-deck her hair and the
red berries that she formed into a
necklace, will not long satisfy her;
she will sigh for artificial decora-
tons, not knowing that even in the
most artificial life of the cities, the
rose or the apple blossom are the
most priced of every indoor adorn-
ment. She will weary as she grows
up, of milking cows or feeding hens.
of churning or cooking, and the fac
tory will have more charms for her
than the farm-yard. The young boy.

hard work, and little money, and as

If SO the time will come when both

experience has enlarged their views
they will put higher estimate on
rural life.-Richmond.

thoughts range into the realms of
the unseen.
Perhaps, if we. like Paul. could
realize that cloud Of Witnesses we
would leave undone many acts the
very thought of which now causes
us to blush with shame. Perhaps,
even yet, with Paurs thought in
mind. we could learn to live 80 that.

a CLOUD OF WITNESSES
w. G. Van. D.

When Paul told a gaping crowd
that not an act went unobserved,
they smiled and Knocked him.
How many in that crowd thought
they knew better? They knew of
many lapses from the moral code
and yet they knew they walked up
rightly In the sight of men. And
many millions since have thought
and voiced that same delusion; be-
lieving, in their blindness, that the
world of men was all and that since
mortal men were blind, there were
none, else to see.
The unseen world that lies around
and about us. was an unthinkable
thought to most of Paul's hearers.
as it is to most of US today, and yet
deep down in our hearts we know
tits true. We know and feel that
even in our most secluded privacy
we are not alone, and that every act
of ours, though successfully hidden
from the sight of men, is as open as
the light Of day to the deoizens of
that unseen world which lies about
us. How our cheeks should redden
with shame or blench with fear as we
visualize that cloud of witnesses of
which Paul spoke so truly.
See how they mock and laugh at
the stealthy thief who chuckles in
secret over his ill-gotten gains! See
how they turn in horror and disgust
from the loathsome adulterer who
vainly thinks his guilty partner is
the only. sharer of his secret! Hear
their scornful laugh as they listen to
the hollow prayer of the Pharisee!
and then-if you can-.-dare to be-
lieve that you can ever be alone.
Truly most appalling thought! that
thought of Paul's; that apart from
the All-Seeing Eye of God, which
watch even the falling sparrow,
there are yet other unseen witnesses
to our every act and deed.
How many of us, even Of those
amongst us who trust blindly in the
forgiving mercy of God, but what
would shrink with horror. at the
thought of other witnesses. Y ct
every development of m o d e I'm
thought shows Paul's assertion to be
true. An unseen world of undevel-
oped forces is already proven, and
that sentient beings of other worlds
than ours should inhabit such a
world is clearly thinkable by those
who dare. like Paul, to let their

munities; away from the swirl of toll

lap of nature, would be heaven-sent

rosy-cheeked country lassy, with her
love of decoration, gathers each morn
a whole harvest of sweet wild flow
ers; where he robust youngster,
with the love of life strong within
him, searches tn e hidden shady
hooks for young thrushes and robins
to rear them as his pets. Down the
faint, delightful lanes of memory
we often wander; little regretfully,
at the times, when the present in
trudes itself, but more often peace
fully and contented. In these trav-
els, how often are we reminded
of those exquisite lines Of Leigh
Hunt:
