Dr. Franiefin, in his autobiography,"tellsa
story of a man who went one day to Ibiiy an
ax, and,,having bought one, he' expressed a
wish that it hiineen,bright instead
.OrbliiCk ;
on which the smith who had made the ax re-
plied : " Oh, if you'll turn the grindstone 1
we'll soon make it-bright." No sooner said
than done, kid they set to ; but pres
ently the •pitrehaser felt tirea,Tor the smith
pressed so heavily on the stone, the labor of
turning made him sweat again, and he wanted
to leave dr: • "'Keep on, said the
smith, and . the man turned stowly,for short
time longer, until, avercoinis 'With . fatigne he
once more wished to stop. " Keepon .keep
o n ," repeated the smith, it 'isn't 'brigh t, : 'yet,
it's only 't peekled:" "Well, - never mind,

In -this incident welave , ati exhinpfe or ti

one day, as I was thinking - about it, that the
demand fur speckled. tikes is one, that :is 'al
waystietive ; as though peoPleCould no more
grow tirecy buying these useful instruments,
than they can of eating bread. It was very
curious, I thought; that, speckles should be
preferred, to perfect brightness.
While was cogitating thereupon,
into my mind that perhaps sonic good might

nine years of age was offered, as a witness
rigainst a prisoner who was on trial for a
felony committed in her father's house.
"Now, Emily," said the coUnsel fur the
prisoner, upon her, being _affixed as a witness,
" I desire to know if you understand the na
ture
of an oath 1"
." I dip% know what you '
mean," i was the simplt answer. " ni,ere,
yoUr Honor,"• said the counsel, addressing
the court, "is anything further neccssrry to,.
demonstrate ;the validity . of ; my objection ?
This whims should be TiljeOted. She does
net comprehend the nature of an oath."

straight to the heart. "Did you Overtake
an oath?" inquired the Judge. The little
gir l ), stepped back with ;a look of horror, and
the red blood mantled in a blushl over
her face and neek,tis she anawered, "No sir."
She thought he intended to inquire if she had. 1

I said the udge, iiho Saiv,, her mistake, "I

" NO alt., I never., was in' court hefore," Was
the answer. He handed her the Bible open.
"Do you know that book, my daughter?"
She looked at it and answered, "Yes air, it li
is the Bible." "Do you ever read it?" he'
asked.. " Yeii,,sii• ' , every evening." : " Glut
you tell rile what the Bible is?" inquired the
Judge. "It is the Nyord Of the great God,"
she assw.ered: " Well, place your .hand up,
on this Bible,and listen to what I say," „and
he repeated lowly and solemnly the ,oath
usually administered to witnesses. "Now,"
said the Judge, "you have been sworn as a,
'witness, wilt you tell me what, Will befall
