Not a great while ago in the Superior ‘| court ot a certain county in North Car- olina, a Quaker had given certain evi- dence and the lawyer whose client was injured by the Quaker’s testimony was frying to break down the Quaker’s character in order to destroy the ‘effect of his evidence. . Here, were the ‘ques- tions asked by-the lawyer and answered by the Quaker : Quakers 7” “Yes.” . “Isv’t it against the laws of; that church to swear ?” “Yes.” “Are you not a very profane man? Don’t you swear on all occasions ?” “No sir, I haven’t cussed none now for seven years, except one time last fall on the tenth of the eleventh month. Peter X—— up here at High Point said I had put a white man between two negroes to dinner at my threshing, and I give him the damn lie.” Then turning to the jury the Quaker said, “I said damn lie twice, gentlemen ot the jury.” “Turning to the Judge, with an earn- est and honest air, the old Quaker said: “Judge, itdoes appear like a little swearing at times is absolutely neces sary.”’—Raleigh News and Observer. emer Give the Boy Land.

Books and thagazines and games are {goodd, but they are tor the mind, and the Idisure hours ; and while they may keep:the children at home, they can searcely foster a taste for farming with- out something to supplement: them. A. child early learns the meaning of posession, and a few square rods of his own will be more to him than the broad acres of his father.
