A Child in Court.
THE POWER OF TRUTH.
The following beautiful illustration of
the simplicity and power of truth is from
the pen of S. A. Hammond, formerly of
the Albany State Register. He was an
eye witness of the scene in one of the high
er courts :
A little girl, nine years of age, was offer
ed on trial for a felony committed in her
father's house.
"Now, Emily," said the counsel for the
prisoner, upon being offered as a witness,
"I desire to know if you understand the
nature of an oath."
"I don't know what you mean," was the
simple answer.
"There, your honor," said the counsel,
addressing the court," is anything further
necessary to demonstrate the validity of
my objection ? This witness should be re
jected. She does not comprehend the na
ture of an oath."
"Let us see," said the judge." "Come
here, my daughter."
Assured by the kind tone and manner of
the judge,' the child stepped toward him,
and looked confidingly np into his fore,
with a calm, clear eye, and in a manner so
artless and frank that it went straight to
the heart.
"Did you ever take an oath ?" inquired
the judge. The child stepped back with a
look of horror, and the red blood mantled
into a blush all over her face and neck as
she answered—
'.No, sir."
She thought be intended to inquire it
she ever blasphemed.
-I don't mean that," said the judge, who
saw her mistake, "I mean were you ever a
witness ?"
"No, sir; I never was in court before ?'
was the answer.
He handed her an open Bible.
"Do you know that book, my daughter ?"
She looked at it, and answered, "Yes,
sir; it is the Bible ?"
"Do you read it ?" he asked.
"Yes, sir; every evening."
"Can you tell me what the Bible is ?"
inquired the judge.
. "It is the word of the Great God," she
"Well place your hand upon this Bible
and listen to what I say," and he repeated
slowly and solemnly the oath usually ad
ministered to witnesses.
-Now," said the judge, "you hare sworn
as a witness, will you tell me what will be
fall yoit if you do not tell the truth ?"
"1 shun he shut up in the State prison,"
answered the child.
"Anything else ?" asked the Ina s .
"I shall never go to heaven," she replied.
"How do you know this ?" asked the
judge again.
The child took the Bible and turned
rapidly to the chapter containing the com
mandments, pointed to the injunction,
"Thou shalt not bear false witness against
thy neighbor."
"I learned that before I could read."
"Has any one talked with you about your
being a witness in court here against this
man ?" inquired the judge.
"Yes, sir," she replied. "My mother
heard that they wanted me to be a witness,
and last night she called me to tell her the
ten commandments, and then we kneeled ,
down together and she prayed that I might
understand how wicked it was to bear false
witness against my neighbor, and that God
would help me, a little child, to tell the
truth as it was Wore Him.. And when I
came up here with my father, she kissed
me and told me to remember the ninth
commandment, and that God would hear
every word that I said."
"Do you believe this ?" asked the judge,
while a tear glistened in his eye and his
lips quivered with emotion.
"Yes, sir," said the child, with a voice
and manner that showed her conviction of
truth was perfect.
"God bless you, my child," said the
judge, "you have a good mother." "This
witness is competent," he continued. Were
I on trial for my life, and innocent of the
charge against me, I would pray to God
for such a witness as this. Let her be ex
amined."
She told her story with the simplicity of
a child, as she was, but there was a direct
ness about it which carried conviction to
every heart. She was rigidly cross-exam
ined. The counsel plied her with intricate
and ingenious questions, but she varied
from her first statement in nothing. The
truth as spoken by the child was sublime.
Falsehood and perjury had preceded her
testimony. The prisoner had entrenched
himself in lies until he deemed himself im
pregnable. Witnesses had falsified facts
in his favor and villainy had manufactured
him a sham defense. But before her tes
timony falsehoods were scattered like chaff.
The little child, for whom her mother had
prayed for strength to be given her to speik
the truth as it was before God, broke the
cunning devices of matured villainy to pie
ces like a potter's vessel. The strength
that her mother had prayed for was given
her, and the sublime and terrible simplici
ty,—terror, I mean to the prisoner and his
associates,—with which she spoke, was like
a revelation from God himself.
Mousie.
Away down in a snug little corner of
the milk room, one day sat two mice.
One of them was rather an elderly
mouse, dressed in sober gray, with keen
black eyes, that kept constanly glancing
around the room, and sharp wiry looking
nose; in fact, a real business looking mouse
—just the one to escape all the oats,
and traps, and all other ills that a mouse is
heir to.
The other was an exact opposite—a gay
young mouse, with moustache trained
after the most approved fashion of mouse
-land, sleek coat, and gloves that fitted as
nicely as though they were skin.
"Now, mamma," said the young exquisite,
"I don't see why you should think so. You
say, yourself, you were never inside of a
trap, and bow should you know any thing
about it? And as for Sir Rat, you know,
things always look wrong when a person is
perjudiced against them;" and he stroked
his moustache and tipped his head on one
side, as much as to say." I guess I know as
much about such things as you do. old lady."
"Well," sighed his mother, "I suppose
you must do as you please, my son, but
you know what I have told you."
"0, I have no doubt you mean well
enough, but you have a mistaken idea. Now
don't have any fears for me. I can take
care of myself, you know; and he laughed
a hearty laugh, and was gone.
Very nicely to him looked the gay red
trap, with the bright steel wires shining in
the early sunlight, and the delicious bit of
cheese held there so temptingly
"What queer notions people do get
sometimes!" said Mousie as he looked at it,
and thought how he wauld relish that bit
of cheese. "Just as though thatwou'd hurt
me!" and he smiled complacently.
"Now, I must have that cheese; it never'd
do to go back without it. But what if
they were right after all?" but he dashed
the thought away with an impatient
"Pshaw, it's only old folks' notions," and
began reaching after the cheese.
Click went the trap, and Mousie was
kicking and squirming in no gentle man
ner.
"0 ! 0 !" squeaked Mousie, and he pull
ed and tugged with all his might, "0 if I
am—eon—could get this o-o-off."
But his voice grew &inter, and his
struggles weaker, and at length ceased.
"Och, au' shure an' here's anither
mouse," said Bridget, stopping, skimmer
in hand, before the trap. A sorra bit of
trouble hey ye made me, but ye'll not be
afther troublin me ag'in, I'm thinkin';"
and she threw him far away through the
window.
That night his mother prepared his
supper as - usual, and sat down to await her
son's return. But no son came. Long and
patientiy she watched and waited, anxious
ly peering out into the darkness, and lis
tening for his light tread. But far away
frnin his tnather he lay, stiff and eahl.
He saw his folly too late.

Rumors have again been put in circula

is, however, distinctly stated by reponsible
parties that there is no occasion for such

henry D. Cooke, Esq., of the firm of

A Poor soldier in New Hamshire, who,
after three applications, succeeded in
getting $lOO bounty, sent at once $lO to
an uncle who had loaned him that amount
when he was in desperate need. A few
days a ago the uncle died, and by his will
left the almost penniless soldier all his es
tate, valued at $200,000, giving as a reason
for so doing, that he had many times lent
money to his relatives and this one alone
had repaid him.
A Western paper says: "We reported
that Mr. D. A. Dodd's wife had seven
pair of twins and two odd children during
ten years of married life. We were wrong.
Mr. Dodd, just in our office, informs us
there are eight pair of twins and three
odd ones, nineteen in all—ten girls and
nine boys—in fourteen years, and they are
all living.
The bill providing for a centennial ex
hibition in Philadalphia in 1876, has
passed the Senate as it came from the
House, with Mr. Sumner's amendment,
providing that the government shall not
be responsible for any expenses incurred.
It seems to us that with this amendment
the law, in any practical sense, will be val
ueless. What can Philadelphia do with it
that it could not do without it?
A school-girl in Fernandina, Fla., a

I do not ask, o•Lord. that life may
A pleasant road; -
I do not ask that thou would3•t take from me
Aught of its load.
I do not ask that flowers should always spring
Beneath my feet;
I know too well the poison and the sting
Of things too sweet.
For one thing only. Lord.clear Lord,lplead.
Lead me aright—
Though strength should falter and though heart
should
Through Peace to Light..
I do ask, 0 Lord, that though shoulds't shed
Full radiance here,
Give but a ray of peace that I may tread
Without a fear.
Joy is like restless day; but peace divine
- Like quiet night;
Lead me. 0 Lord—till perfect day shallshine—
Through Peace to Light.
Love.
What is love ? What shall I say of it,
or how shall I in words express its nature?
It is the sweetness of life• ' it is the sweet,
tender, melting nature of God flowing up
through his seed of life into the creature,
and of all things making the creature most
like unto himself, both in nature and op
eration. It fulfills the law, it fulfills the
gospel; it wraps up all in one, and bring
fourth all in the oneness. It excludes all
evil out of the heart, it perfects all good in
the heart. A touch of this love cloth this
in measure; perfect love doth this in full
ness. But how can I proceed to ,peak of
it ? Oh ! that the souls of all that fear
and wait on the Lord might feel its nature
fully ; and then would they not fail of
its sweet, overcoming operations, both to
ward one another and towards enemies.
The great healing, the great conquest, the
great salvation is reserved for the full
manifestation of the love of God. His
judgments, his cuttings, his hesings by
the word of his mouth, are but to prepare
for, but not to do, the great work of rais
ing the sweet building of his life, which
is to be &mein lore-, and in pence, and by
the power thereof'. And this my soul
waits and cries after, even the full spring
ing up of eternal love in my heart and in
the swallowing of me wholly into it, and
the bringing
of my soul wholly forth in it.
that the life of God in its own perfect.
sweetness may fully run forth through
this vessel ; and not be at all tinctured by
the vessel, put perfectly tincture and
change the vessel into its own nature.
Oh ! how sweet is love! How pleasant
in its nature! How takingly doth it be
have itself in every condition, upon every
occasion, to every person. and above every
thing ! How tenderly. how readily doth
it help and serve the meanest ! How pa
tiently, how meekly doth it bear all things,
either from God or man, how unexpected
ly sourer they =cm I in.. J.,th it believe.
how doth it hope, bow doth it excuse, how
doth it cover even that which seemeth not
to be excusable, and not fit to be covered!
How kind it is, even in its interpretations
and charges, concerning miscarriages ! It
never overlarges, it never grates upon
the spirit of him whom it reprehends; it
never hardens, it never provokes; but
carrieth a meltintneSS and power and con
viction with it. This is the nature of
God; this, in the vessels,
capacitated to
receive and bring it forth in its glory, the
power of enmity is cot able to stand
against, but falls before. and is overcome
by it.
The Reimer oI
Some months ago. a few ladies who met
together in Dublin to read the Scriptures,
and wake them the subject of conversation,
were reading the third chapter of Malachi.
One of the ladies gave it as her opinion
that the Fuller's Soap and the Refiner of
Silver was the same image. both intended
to convey the same view *of the sanctifying
influence of the grace of Christ; while an
other observed, there is something remark
able in the expression of the third verse :
"He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of
silver."
They agreed that possibly it might be so,
and one of the ladies promised to call on a
silversmith and report to them what he said
on the subject. She went accordingly, and
without telling the object of her errand,
begged to know from him the process of
refining silver, which he fully described to
her.
"But, sir," said she. "do you ait while
the work of refining is goitrg oh ?"
"Oh, yes, madam," replied the silver
smith, "I must sit with my eye steadily
fixed on the furnace, for if the time neces
sary for refining be exceeded in the slight
est degree, the silver is sure to be injured."
At once she saw the beauty, and the
comfort, too, of the expression ; ''He shall
sit as a refiner and purifier of silver•"
Christ sees it needful to put his children -
into the furnace ; and he is seated by the
side of it; his eye is steadily intent on the
work of purifying, and his wisdom and
love are both engaged in the best manner
for them. Their trials do not come at ran
dom ; the very hairs of their head are all
numbered. As the lady was leaving the.
shop. the silversmith called her back, and
said he had still further to mention that
ho only knew when the process of purify
ing was complete by seeing his own image
reflected in the siver.
Beautiful figure : When Christ sees
His own image in His people, His work of
purifying is accomplished.
A Mother's Love.
The work to which we refer is that which
every mother, whether rich or poor, what
ever the advantages or disadvantages of the
circumstances may be, is required by the
most sacred and rigid obligations to achieve
the assiduous cultivation in her children of
the inner nature, or that which makes the
good man or woman, that which shall live
forever. For this she must be always at
her post, with never so much as a recess
from her maternal care and solicitude, toil
ing on, breaking up the ground, sowing the
seed, training the tender plant, enriching
the soil, watering, nourishing, stimulating
every good and pleasant growth, until the
flowers begin to bloom a stil wie alll6 SO
ripen. Then comes a hey-dey of enjoy
ment, of rest and comfort to the mother, in
the golden autumn of her life, when sur
rounded by a group of affectionate, dutiful
virtuous and noble sons and daughters,
she sits among them in beautiful repose,
her face radiant in the flow of her own
heart's ever burning love, and the smile
of heaven as a halo of light about her
head, a spectacle to be admired and envied
by all. But this season of comfort, this
"Indian summer" of maternal life never,
1 1 never comes to those who evade the re
sponsibilities, forsake their trust, and leave
their work for others to do, for the sake
of personal ease, sensuous indulgence or
selfish gratification.
