The Trntkfal W.Anana
A little girl, nine years of aga, was
offered as a witness against a prisoner,
who was on a trial for a felony com-
mitted id her father's house.
"Now, Emily," said the counse
for the prisoner, upon her being offer-
ed aa a witness. ."I desire to know i'
' yon .understand the nature of an
oath." . •
"I "don't know what you mean,'
was the simple answer.
"There, your honor, said the conn*
■el addressing the court. " is there
anything further necessary to demon
strata the validity of my objection'
This witness should be rejected ; she
does not comprehend the nature of an
oath."
"Let me see,*' said' the ju3ge.
•'Come here, my daughter/
Assured by the kind tone and.man-
, ner of the judge, tlfe child stepped
toward him and looked up confidingly
in his face, fir i t!i a ¿airo, clear eye,
and in a manner bo artless and frank,
that it went straight to the heart.
"Did you ever take an oathi"
Inquired the judge
The little ¿>irl stepped back with a
look of horror, and the red blood
mantled in a blu;h all over her face
and neck, as she answered—
" No, sir."
She- thought he meant to inquire il
■he had' ever blasphemed.
" 1 do not mean that," said Ao
■ " r 1 li
eye, and his lip quirered with .bow
tioB. ' '
. "Tea, siri" said/tbe cfcld, with
voice that showea her
its truth was perfect.
" God bless you, ay
the judge, 'you have afpod mother.
Thi witness is competent," he con-
tiitned. 'Were I on trial for'tny fife,
and'innocent of the charge against
me, I would pray God for .pack a wit-
ness as this! Let her be exami
She told her story with the
pligiiy ¿Ta child, as jfifwS
then was' a directness about it which
carried conviction of its truth to every
heart. She was rigidly .cross-exam-
ined. The counsel plied her with
infinite and ingenious -questionings,¡
bnt she varied from her first state-
ments in nothing.- The truth, so
spoken by that little child, was snb-
lime. Falsehood and parjury hid per-
ceded her testimony. The prisoner hat
intrenched himself with lies, till iie
deemed himself impregnable. But
before her testimony falsehood was
scattered like chaff. The child, for
whom a mother had prayed for
strength to be given her to speak the
truth as it was before God, broke
the cunning devices of matured vil-
laiuy to pieces like a potter's vessel,
The strength that her mother prayet
for was given her, and the sublime
simplicity—terrible, I mean, to the
prisoner and bis . associates—with
which she spoke was like revelation
from God himself. -*
"I

judge, who saw his mistake,
mean were yon ever a witness before 1
" No, sir, I was never in court
before," was the answer.
He han'ded her the Bible open.
" Do yoa know that book, my
daughter ? "
She looked at it and ainswered.
" Y«s. sir, it is the Bible."
"Do yon aver read it ?" ho asked.
. "Yea, sir, every evening." (
•* Can yon tell me what the Bible
la ?" inquired the judge. "
" It is the word of the great God,"
■ha answered. * -
''Well, place your hand upon this
Bible and listened to wl^at I «áy,"
and he repeated slowly and solemnly
the oath' usually administered to wit-
nesses.
" Now," said the judge, "you have
■worn as a witness; will you tell me
wLat will befall yon if you. do not
tell the' truth 1"
'• I shall be shut • up in the state
prison," answered the child.
■Any thinji elst«T asked the Jnd
" I shall never go to heavefi,
replied.
" How.do you know this Í" asked
thé Judge, again.
The child took the Pible, and tnrn-
ing rapidly to the chapter containing
the coramandmentB pointed to the
injunction, '• Thou shall not bear
false witness against thy neighbor,
*•1 learned that before I could read."
" Has any one talked with yon
about your being a witness in court
here against this man V inquired the
Jndge.
" Ye , sir," she replied; " my
mother heard they wanted me to be a
witness, and last night she called me
to'her room, and asked me to tell her
the Ten Commandments, and then
we kneeled down together, and she
piajed that I might understand how
wicked it was to bear false witness
againat my neighbor, and tbat God
would help me,' a little child, to tell
the trtith aa it was before him. And
when I came up herb with father,
she kissed me, aud told me to remem-
ber the ninth commandment, and that
God would hear every word that I
■aid."
" Do jou believe this I"- asked the
Judge, while a tear glistened in his
Edtorial Items.

•The Cultivation of Horseradish.—
In April last we published an article
by Peter Henderson giving an ac-
count of the manner in which horse-
radish is grown in market gardens,
where- as a second crop to come on
after cabbages or other early crop has
been taken off. An account of the
method of Mr. Kelsall, an extensive
grower near Manchester, Englánd, is
given in the (English)' Journal of
Horticulture, and as this seems well
for growers in the small way, we give
an abstract of the article. The ground
is prepared by putting down a ridge oi
well decomposed manure, on each side
of which a trench is cut, anc the soil
thrown up so as to cover the ridge of
manure both on the sides and top-A
how high the ridges should be is not
stated, but it'is said: "The higher
they are kept above the general level
of the ground the better."
"The beds having been made as
above described, the next proceedin.
is to prepare the sets. For this pur-
pose Mr. Kelsall uses the lo£g, Email
roots which grow out from the main
plant; the longest, straightest, > and
cleanest of these are selected to form
the future giant sticks of horseradish,
and are prepared in the following
way: Take the piece of ro9t in the
left hand, then with the right rub off
all the eyes and. young fibrous roots,
leaving about a quarter of an inch un-
disturbed at the largest end of each
piece." * * * * *. * *
* * "In plan ting "continues the
writer "a piece of stick is pushed from
the top edge of the bed in a slanting
direction towards the middle of the
bed; the sets are then placed, in the
holes thus made, but care is taken in
performing this operation to place the
pieces of root in the holes as straight
ly as possible. Care must also be
taken to place the smallest «r right
end in the hole first, otherwise the
order*of things becomes reversed, and
the root, or that portion of the piece
intended to produce the future roots,*
will occupy the position of th« crown.
The piece of root should . be pushed
in about two inches further than the
edge of the bed. The piece of root,
or set having been planted in this way,
it will 6oon commence forming roots
at ¿he bast£and these will at once
aearch nut the manure which has been
placed in the center of the bed. As
soon as they have found it the set will
increase in size to an extraordinary
extent; speedily a bud will break out
from the other end, which forms the
crown of the plant. When leaves ap-
pear, reciprocal action between the
root and foliage is carried on energet-
ically, and the plant is then matured
with great rapidity. Scarcely a sin-
gle root is formed between the crown
and the pase of the root-stock. Here
there is a cluster of roots which have
found their way into the manure, and
the straightest aud best of these must
be saved for making future plantations.
The set does not grow any longer
after being planted, but increases in
thickness to a wonderful extent, and,
J rom the base to the crown, is white
and perfectly fnfrfrom roots."
A bed like this can be readily cov-
ered, with litter or manure, and the
loraeradish be accessible at almost
any time during the' winter.
Our Sugar Supply.—The princi-
pe plants which supply the sugar
and syrup of the country are the sor-
ghum, the sugar maple, and the sugar
cane. The manufacture of beet sugar
in the United Stafes*is yet in its in-
ancy; in France and Germany it has
lad the fostering care of the govern-
ment, and lias grown into an import-
ant industry. Vermont is the only
State that comes near to supplying
the wants of its people with sugar
and syrup from the maple. The
sugar or Rock Maple, {Acer sacoJiur-
tnum,) grows abundantly in most of
the Northern* States, but no system
has been established in its cultivation
and little pains taken to spare the
trees in the primitive forest . Sugar-
máking is regarded by most farmers
who own a "sugar-masb," as a amall
business, to be carried on in February
and March, when nothing more favor-
able offers, as it gives employment at
a season when other labor is scarce.
The price is several cents a pound
higher than the best refined cane
sugar, and much more of it might be
profitably made.
Sinpe the introduction of the Sor-
ghum and Imphee seed, and the dis-
tribution of the former so extensive-
ly from this office several years ago,
the manufacture of syrup, especially
at the West, has become an important
industry. The War eame very op.
portunely to stimulate prices, and
many counties made more than syrup
enough to meet their own wants.
With molasses at 80 cents a gallon,
there is no doubt that the West, and
perhapa the East, can-make their
o#n syrup cheaper than they can im-
port it. vBut it remains to be seen
whether this can be done when prices
drop down, to the ante-war standard.
There is much complaint of the fall-
ing off in* this crop the present year
iu the States where it has boen.moet
largely raised. This may be partly
owing to the drouth, but we suspect
the drooping of prices has had quite
as much to do with it.
The cultivation of the sugar cane
in this* country is confined mainly- to
Florida and the alluvial portions of
Louisiana and Texas. Before the
war Louisiana produced from three to
four hundred thousand hogsheads of
sugar, and yet hardly a twentieth
part of the lands adapted to this crop
were brought into cultivation. In
the other two States less has been
done. **
There ca^Jbe no doubt that we
have iu these cheap and fertile lands
the meatís of producing sugar economi
cally for home use and even for export.
There are some drawbacks to its
production there, but there are also
very great advantages. The cane
has to be renewed much ofitener, and
the season óf growth is only two-
thirds as long as within the tropics
But, on the other hand, the Louisiana
planter has the. advantage of protec-
tion, a soil inexhaustible with suit-
able tillage, the latest impróvements
iu machinery, and free labor. The
greatest drawback to the rapid devel-
opement of this industry is the de-
raugement of the levees, resulting
from the war. These. Extend all
along the banks of the Mississippi,
and of the bayous that run from it bjr
short cuts to the ocean. The whole
success of the crop depends upon the
integrity of these embankments, and
this cannot well be left to, fhdividual
enterprise, for every man would live
at the mercy of his neighbor. They
extend far.above the sugar region into
the States of Mississippi aud Ark-
ansas.
