"As though papa would saddle

Jessie's indignant rejoinder, whea

"Well, if your father chooses to pay

"I wouldn't, if I were ia your

of her pretty head. "It's ever so much

hoped that she would" always think

TAKIXd THE OATH OS THE BAYONET
ON THE SWORD ASD OS THE
CROSS.
A Writer ia All The Year Round
says:
'Several oaths of the Middle Ages
were borrowed from the pagans, as
idols upon arms, the usual mode of
adjuration among Northern nations;
npon the scabbard of the sword; con
firmation of the oath br joininir
hands; by taking bold on tbe beni of
tbe garment; swearing by the feet of
tbe abbot and mocks; upon bracelets
and others. Concerning the bracelet
oatb, bir Henry Ellis bas observed
that Arogriui Jonas, ia his work on
Iceland, describes a bracelet of twen
ty ounces weight, which was kept
upou tbe altar, and, being sprinkled
witb tbe blood of victims, was touch
ed by those who took any solemn
oatb a. He says it was citcer cf sil
ver, or cf silver and brass mixed. He
adds, in another page, that for this
purpose it was worn on tbe Judge's
arm daring trial. Sir Henry Ilis
was reminded by this 'of 9, very re
markable pass&0 in tbe Saxon
Chrorjiclej, made under tbe year 876,
where when tbe Danes made peace
with the English Alfred, at Ware-
ham, in Wessex, they gave him tbe
noblest among them as hostages, and
swore an oatb to bim on tbe boly
bracelet.' Of awearlng'on the sword,
we bare an interesting instance in
tbe life of tbe great Gustavus Vasa,
ofSw6den. Ia 1540 be assembled
the States, in wbicb it was decided
tbat tbe monarchy should be heredi
tary; whereupon the ii,-T drew his
sword, and etenrjdd. it btfore bim,

aa a testimony from as and our beirs,

for confirmation, stand forth eact oae
of yoa, and touching the sword witb
your corporeal fingers, tbas repeat
the oatb of tratb and fidelity, tbat to
us aad our heirs you have freely of
fered.' Hearing this, th State ap
proached Senators, nobles, citixens,
peasants, all laid tbeir hands on the
royal sword, and each took the oatb
of allegiance and fidelity. Swearing
on tbe cross was practiced br the
Russians from early time?; thus, in
1557, oa the conclusion of a treaty of
peace with Sweden, Ivaa ratified it
b kissing tbe cross beiore tne ey
of tbe Ambassadors, a ceremony tbat
wa3 repeated by Lis representative at
Stockholm, in the presence of the
Swedish monarch, la the reform of
ilia .statute of the- Ordev-of lb. Gar
ter by Henry III, the knights were
enjoined to make a general oatb np
on the Holy G.epel3 ta cuey the
statutes 'without fraud or delusion,'
touching the bock and kissing tbe
cross, aeiuea mentions an oam ta
ken by the Spaniards, whih is very
carious. 'If 1 first cs;.Geuly Jail of

This, oatb was confirmed by the par
ties sharing between them tha conse
crated wafer. The 'oath by tbe bo
som,' formerly observed in Germany,
bad a curious aad interesting origin.
Women aad bovs were generally ac
customed to carry on tbeir bosom,

Some one should gather tbe late
Mr. Lincoln's jokes and make them
into a book. The following he used
to tell on Tom Hamer, of Ohio. Mr.
Hamer's client was charged with
hog stealing. Tbe case was clearly
proven, and when it went to the jury
Tom was indisposed to say a word.
Don't give :t np, don't give it up,'
whispered tbe client
'But I can't say nothing,' replied
tne poor attorney.
'but you must. Get cp and yowl
boiler, boiler, man, or 1 m lost, and
I won t pay yoa a d d cent'
Thug instigated, Tom rose gravely
and astonished the court br a disser
tation on tbe laws of forcible entry
and detainer. Then, turning to his
jury, be gave a discourse on tbe na
ture and habits of nogs. He called
attention to the prohibition of God
throogh Moses, of bog meat as an ar
ticle of food. He told how our Sav
ior put the devil that afflicted the
poor rtraa into the swine, and the
swine ran down a steep place and
were drowned. But Tom asserted,
however, that all were not drowned,
bat some escaping, gradually extend
ed tho breed of damned hogs 'for,'
said Tom, 'if they are possessed of
tbe devil they must be damned' un
til all tbe hoes of earth had devils ia
them.
Let any man owning a corn Geld
or a garden patch answer,' demanded
turner. 'Is there a fence that will
turn a daianed he?, gentlemen of the
jury? I say not one. It will find a
bole if tbere is one; if not, it will
make one. It rattles down bars aod
lifts gates off their hinges. I have
known bogs climb fence?; yes, gentle
men, clamber up and full down, but
always full on the garden side. The
devil teaches them anatomy, gentle
men, for whoever heard of a hog fall
ing on his snout f He always comes
down on his rump, with a grant that
is a mingled expression ct surprise
and satisfaction. When a damned
hog remember, gentlemen, tbat I
quote Scripture; I am not profane
whea I say, a damned bog gets un

backing and getting under every leg
of tbe horse and wheel of the buggy,
until tbe one ia Ljoken and the other
ia throTB down. Now, gentlemen,

did kill, under the mistaken notion
that they were hia, si of these creat

tlemen, that it bas been proven. The

Il&mtir sat down with a round of
applause from the bucolic bystanders,
wbile his client winked at the jury.
Ia due course of legal form? the jary
retired, and soon returned witb a ver
dict of 'not guilty.'

might be obtained a product which,
by appearance, taste, aad bouriuet
would most resemble the juice of the
grape. Experiments Lave beea
made, and tbe fact has been utah-

the orange would constitute a re
source oa which to fall back. The

Talk at Haat.
Endeavor always to talk yoor best
before your children. Ther hunger
perpetually for nw ideas. Ther
will learn with, pleasure from the
lips of parents what they will deem
it drudgery to study in books ; and
even if they bave the misfortune tt
be deprived of many educational ad
vantages they will grow on intelli
gent if they enjy in childhood the
privilege of listening daily to tbe con
versation of intelligent people. We
sometimes see parents, who are the
life of every company wtieh th
enter, dull, silent and uninteresting
at home among their children. Jf
they have co mental ac:ivity and
mental stress suScient for both, let
them first u?e what they have' for
their own households. A silent bom
is a doll place for young people, a
place frora which they will escape if
they caa. How ruach useful infor
