The oath was originally an appeal to
divine authority to ratify an assertion.
The old Greek gods uwore by the Styx,
and Jehovah is represented in the early
hooks of the Uible as swearing by himself,
there being none higher. The forms of
oath among the Hebrews were: "Jly the
(Jod of Abraham," ''God do so unto me,"
and more also, "God knoweth," with
other appeals of similar character.
Oaths were originally tuken for the
performance of certain acts, to pledge
allegiance to a sovereign, to pledge a
sovereign to the performance of his duty
to his people, or to accomplish judicial
purposes. The witness lifted his hands
to heaven cr laid one hand on the head of
the accuse-d. Persons making promises
to one another laid their hands on one
another's thighs. Oaths were taken be
fore the altar, as the place most sacred.
In Assam, in farther India, two persons
desiring to affirm with great solemnity
take a fowl or n dog, one by the head, the
other by the tail. The Ostyaks in Siberia
when brought into court swear by the
head of a bear, making a motion with tho
jaws, and expressing the hope that they
may be devoured if they speak falsely. '
OATHS OF ANCIENT TIMES.
Iii ancient times it was considered es
sential to the validity of an oath that tho
witness should hold something in his
hand, or place his liand on some object
m nuiiiMiiiiiiw. vt 1: i! me Jews It was
the book of the law, which led to the use
of tho Uible in Christian courts. The
I'edouin Arabs have from ancient, times
used various forms of adjuration. One
of these was "Iiy the Temple." One still
in use is as follows: 'lne person taking
.he oath takes hold of the midino nole of
the tent and swears by the life of the
tent and its owners. Mohamme l swore
by the "Setting of the stars." the? most
poetical oath on record, though hardlv co
magnificent as the oft emoted adjuration
of William the Conqueror; "By the splen
elor of God." Roman oaths worn nul,i
with great solemnity and elaboration. In
Roman mythology Juno, making a prom
ise to sleep, is represented as taking
heaven in one hand and the earth in tlm
other. Greek3 and Romans sworn h
their gods, by the Styx, by Olympus, by
hell, by their sacred bnrincs or rivers, bv
the sun and moon. Their oaths wero
valuable in the early days of the republic,
but worthless after they became corrupt.
Oaths lost their (sanctity and became col
loquial or profane among the Jews at cn
early date. Greek ladies sweire daintily
by Venus, Diana and Juno, and now and
then by eome of the male gods whose
names were taken in vain by their liege
lords. The Romans swore by Jupiter,
Hercules and their other numerous deities.
Their women imitated those of Greece.
There has always been the tlanger of
making the path too comuipn, ancl thus
destroying its sanctity. Though this has
made perjury easy, it scarcely explains
how judicial or other forms of swearing
graduaMy lost their dignity and became a
part 01 the everyday speech of men and
women. In the eariy days of Christianity
oawis were regarueu with a superstitious
reverence that made them bindius. Thcv
Jose men- iuh'b in iae -uiuuie Ages so

to supply their place with the trial by

compel a criminal to prove his innocence,
7- : . 1. a . .
uuujiij cue uarK ages proiane swearing
figured among the lost arts. In due time
it had its renaissance and arrived at its
present perfection, with a vocabulary if
not a literature of its own. The English
have been greatly given to profanity since
an eariy period in their history, llenrv
the Eighth swore often and vulgarly, and
uis uuuguicr swore jiko a trooper, ihe

ms person. 1 he profanity that is some
what refined in social centers hprrmr
coarse antl occasionally picturesque on
the frontier. The oaths of the rural Xev
I'jiglauder, or of his rural descendants in
other states, "by gosh" and "by golly,"
are without doubt corruptions of the more
emphatic mediaeval appeals to the Supreme
Heing.
OATHS QT FRENCH QKApCIia,
Loui3 IX, of France, so snperstitiously
devout in his old age, swor by Goel's
Resurrection. Charles Till swore by the
Light of God, which was more poetic and
suited to his character as a chivalrous
knight. Louis XII, who merited the title
Father of his People, treated the deity
with less familiarity. He simply said.
when he tlesired to emphasize the asser
tion, "May the devil carry mo off!"
Francis I, who had been knighteel by the
Chevalier Bayard, asseverated ''On the
word of a gentleman." As for Bayard
himself, the most finished and irreproach
able knight of his age, his favorite adjura
tion was by the "Head of God." t'harles
IX satisfied his morbid elesire for some
form of profanity with a terse "Goel's
Heath." Henry IV had two oaths with
v hich he freely punctuated his conversa
tion: "By the belly of St. Gris" and
"Jarnidieu," St. Gris was the god pf
elrunkarets, and ho swore by him as an pltl
woman might have sworn by Bacchus.
"Jarnidieu" meant Je renie Dieu, that is,
'I deny God," or let me deny God if this
is so or is not so, meaning to appeal to
something impossible, This form cf pro
fanity did not please Ids confessor, Coton,
who begged him to tleny ' any one rather
than Goel himself, for instance. So the
king changed his form of adjuration to
"Jarnicotou," "I deny Coton."
The French swear "Par Xotre Dame"
as the English "By Our Lady." This form
of oath has naturally disappeareel from
the profane vocabulary of Protestant na
tions, but is still used by Frenchmen, am
Ecmctimcs by French Jadies in the con
tracted form cf dame. It is curious to
observe that while profanity in France,

THE WAY TO SING.
Tbm bird must know. Who wlnrly slnffi
Will aintfoa tbey;
The common nlr has gftiurou wlnga,
Bonn's make their way.
No tnexartifxr to run before,
lJevising plan; ,
Ko mention of tho place or hour p
To any man ;
No wailing till some sound betrays
A listening ear;
No different voice, no new delays,
If steps draw near.
"Wluit bird is tbatT Its none h Rood."
And eager pvm
Go peering through the clunky wood
In g'ad surprise.
Then Into at nii;ht, when by bis fire
Tte traveler sits,
AVatchiiiff the flames grow brighter, higher.
The sweet son;; flits
By snatches through his weary brain
To help him rest.
When cest be rocs thut road again.
An empty nest
On leaders boui;h will make him sigh:
"Ah, me! Lost spring
Just hero I heard, in passing by.
That rare bird sing!"
But while he sings, remcmberinj
How sweet the song.
The littl.i bird, cn tireless wing;
Is lxirne nlons
In other air, and other men,
Vv'ith weary feet,
tX. other roads, the Kimple strain
Are finding sweet.
The birds must know. Who wisely sings
Will sing as they;
The common air lias generous wings.
Songs make their way.

me neuci in witchcraft in Southern
Indiana Sixty Years Ago.
About sixty -years aero manv of th.
people residing in the neighborhood of
f.ast enterprise were i;iw.fy..l ,,r .
lusion that witches were a reality, and
that a number of their neighbors were
full fledged witches, possessed of remark
able powers, even to the saddling and
bridling a man and with sharp spurs
riding him all over the worst roads a dis
torted mind could imagine. The next
morning tho poor man would be so tired
and sore that he could hardly move. At
other times the housewife would chum
half a day and would not get a pcrticle. of
butter. The only remedy was to tahe an
old horseshoe that had been worn on the
left foot of a bald face horse and heat it
hot and drop it into the churn, which was
pretty certain to expel the terrible witch.
One who tried the experiment said:
4'A hen I dropped the red hot shoe into
the churn I heard something run oft the
roof of the house, and I smelled hair just
as sure as you are born, nnl in live min
utes I had a churn nearly full of butter.
The next day I saw the woman that I be
lieved had bewitched the butter, and her
mur was crispeet on one side in the very

remedy failed, tho next thing to do was
to draw a life size picture of the supposed
witch and nail it upon a tree and then
run a silver bullet out of a silver dollar
and shoot the image. The last act was
considered a complete cure. One of the
ardent believers in witches, a man ia the
prime of life, possessed of fair sense in

Morality of Clrpu Employes.
The morality of a genuine circus troune
tuuiimrm ia oraDiy witii that of any equal
number of nny other profession or trade.
Many of them are educated and intelli
gent; most are loyal to strong family af
fections ancl to such domesticity as is at
tainable while traveling. For the rest,
they are obligeel to behave well. The cir
cus proprietor has a more complete juris
diction over his employes than anv nastnr
over his congregation. Would any clerev-
man dare to punish crofanitv b V fine nun
drunkenness by expulsion? which is ex
actly what the best type of circus nronri-
etor can do and does. He has tho whip
hand, and retains during the season a
oportion of the employes' salarv. which
he receives at the end of the season if his
record i3 good, not otherwise. Business
interests compel strict disc'.nlire. and who
shall say that the employe who is com
pelled to behave well is not, at the end of
the season, somewhat the better for eight
months of compulsory sobrietv. civilitv
and orderly living P. T. Barnum in New
