He says :—" On the question of oaths, probably there is nothing in the New Testament more especially condemned and forbidden than oaths. To thole who do not are about the New Testament this fact will have no weight. The prac- tice of swearing to the truth of anything makes two kinds of truth and truth- fulness. If oath. are of any avail, by so much as they make truth more certain, by s, much they lessen the value of any ordinary statement and diminish the probability of its truth. if ignorant persons are sworn they think they may tell pies with impunity ; and their lying is to a large extent blameless in their eyes i think oaths and oat,. taking have done more than any other thing to impair a.d destroy • regard for truth.” AIs.W • *freely.

She said : ' Charles, I've thought of this a good deal ; and I've thought of the way in which I believe we can clear the mortgage off helm e five years are ended.' ' Says I, Molly, tell rue how you'll do it.' `She thought for a little while, and then she said, with a funny twinkle in her blue eyes—says she, 'Charles, you :rust promise the this, and promise me sacredly and solemnly : Promisethat you will never bring home for the pure ee of driuking as a beverage at any one time, more spirits of any kind than you an oring in that odd jug—the jug that your father has used ever since I knew him, and whit h you have used since he was done with it.' ' Well, I knew that father used once in a while, especially in haying time,and in the winter when we were at work in the wads, to get an .old gallon jug tilled, so I thought she meant that I should never buy more than two quarts at a time. I thought it over, atter a little wl ile 1 told her I would agree to it.' ' Now mind,' said she, . you are never —never—to bring home for a common beverage mon spirits than you can bring home in that identical jug.' ' And I gave her the promise. And before I went to bed that night I took the last pull at that jug. As I was turn- ing it for • sort of night-cap Molly look• ed -up, and says she, Charley, have you got a drop left !' ' There was just about a drop. We'd have to get it filled on the morrow. And then she said if I had trio objection she would drink that last drop with !tie. I shall never forget how she brought it out, ' THAT Luer Door !' However. I tipped the old jug bottom up and got about it great spoonful, and Rielly said that was enough. She took the tumbler and poured a few drops of hot water into it, and a bit of sugar, and then she tipped her glass against mine, just as she d seen us boys oo it when we'd been drinking good luck, and says she, 'Here's to the old brown jug.' 'Sakes alive ! I thought to myself that poor Molly had been drinking more of the rum than was good for her, and I tell you it kind o' cut me to the heart. I forgot all about how !many times ahe'a seen me when my tongue was thicker than it ought to he, and my legs not so steady as good legs should be ; but I said nothing. I drank the sentiment—' The old brown jug,' and let it go. 'Well, I went out after that and did my chores, and then went to bed; and the last thing I said before leaving the kitchen- the very room where you now sit—'We'll have the old brown jug tilled to -morrow.' And then I went to bed. And I have remembered ever since that I went to bed that night, as I had done hundreds of times before, with a busing in my head that a healthy man ought not to have. I did not think of it then, nor had I ever thought of it before ; but 1 have thought of it a good many times since, and have thought of it with wond- er and awe. 'Well, I got up the next morning and did my work at the barn, then come in and ate breakfast, but not with such an appetite as a farmer ought to have, and I could think even then that my appetite hal begun to fail me. However, I ate breakfast, ani then went out and hitch- ed up the old mare ; for, t.. tell the truth, I was feeling the need of a glass of spirits, and i hadn't a arop in the house. i was in a hurry to get to the village. i got hitched un and then clime in for the jug.

Judges, One of the moat effective tbrunta in Judge Black's admirable argument before the Electoral Commission in the Florida case was suggested by a fanious remark attributed to Chief Justice Marshall. "One of the gentlemen who spoke yester- day," said Mr. Black, "repeated what had bet n said by Judge Marshall, and which I am glad he did We have heard it before, but it cannot be told too often, for it contains a very wholesome moral. The judge said to a counsellor who was addressing hint that a judge of the Su- preme Court was presumed to know some- thing. 'I hope that no decision which you may make in this case will repel that presumption,' was the reply." This is going very near the line where respect for a judicial tribunal ends anti contempt of court begins. It reminds us of what Rejoice N3wtun, a well-known member of the Worcester county bar,onae said to the full bench of the Supreme Court of Massaehusette. when the grett and severe Chief Justice Shaw presided over that tribunal. "May it pleaaeyour honors," said Mr. Newton, "I have the greatest respect for thu opinions of this clurt, except—except in a frac gross cas- ei.' A story is told of Marshall, of Ken- tucky, that he once spoke of a ruling on a certain trial as without parallel "since Poutius Pilate presided at the trial of Christ." This struck the judge as rather disrespectful, and he imposed a tine upon the lawyer who protested against it most earnestly. "I confess, your honor," said Mr, Marshall, "that what I said was* littla hard on Pontius Pilate, but this is the first occasion in the history of Ken- tucky jurisprudence that to speak disres- pectfully of Pontius Pilate !ma been de- clared contempt of court." Thus bold and brilliant men relieve the ordinary toil of a laborious poofession. The Mitred Ran. Now, when farm labor is so urgently needed, and a few hours delay may in- volve a few hundreds of dollars of loss, farmers will be comforted in knowing that the law protects their rights. At the last sitting of the Colborne division court a hired man sued a farmer for arrears of wages. The hired inti had agreed vdrbslly to work for tha farmer from March till November but in the interval he was offered higher wage. ; he threw up hia place, engaged with another man, and sued for the balance of wages. His cnae was diamines!l with costa—a warning to others that they cannot leave a fanner in the lurch with impunity, even on a verbal agreement. A slersel About rra..aeaatle..

Dr. Agnew writes to the Winnipeg Free Press: Sint, -In the face sof the fact that wild fruits of many veritiwe grow to pefection in Manitoba, it is absurd to say that cul tivated verities will not succeed. But I wish to emphasize what Mr. Beadle said i•t his speech in Weisey Hall, ill utilizing our native varieties, by relating a shurt chapter of my own experience. In uty boyhood I had the privilege of roaming at will through the forest in On- tario. In my rambles I frequently din ooverel wild plum treat. I trade a men- tal note of the locality and visited the trees when the fruit was ripe. Wherev- er I found a tree whose fruit was to my taste, I marked that tree, and at the proper season I removed it to my father's garden. I never lust • tree by removal, and I haei the sa.iafaction in a few years of producing, by the bushel, two excel - 'silt varieties of preserving plums, and a very tempting dessert plum. In every instance removal front forest shade to open euushine had a transform- ing influence upon the trees. I cut off the head, which was very open and slen- der. The new head which formed was close and stout. • In the native state, al- though the trees blossomed profusely, very little fruit set. In the new condi- tion I have had to prop the trees to pre- vent breaking, so enormous was the load of fruit. I have gathered more than a bushel of plums off one tree four or five years after removal. Such trues, when removed to the garden, throw up shoots; these shoots can be transplanted, and by this meansthe variety can be extended indefinitely without the trouble of bud- ding or grafting. Nuw, what a boy can du in Ontario surely a boy can do in Manitoba ? I write the above for the benefit of boys who belong to the "Try Society."
