WITCHCRAFT. Near the clone of : tho aevenleentb cen tury, that renowned Judge Bir John Holt( Lord Chlnf Juwtice of England, estpcmed by Ills conteiuioraiie, a well as by men of after ages, as an embodiment both of the law and of Justice, waa presiding at the assise hold In and for hi nativecounty of Oxford;,--A decrepit old woman ww put on trial, charged with the crime of witch craft. The history of the case, theofTensft of whicli tho .prisoner ; war alleged to be guilty, wa kid before the' Jury by the Attotney-General prosecuting for ; the Crown. The Chief Justice listened to the opening of the case with unusual earnest lies, for there was recalled to hi memory a curious incident connected with hlsown early life. When a student at the Uni versity of Oxford hi habits -were wild an irregular and he gave im piomise of hta great future eminence. ,. In company with several other young himlents, he had been for several day on a carouse through some of ihe country place In the vicinity of Oxford. Young Unit had separated himself from some of hi companions; and riding np to a w ay aid Inu, w ithout any money iu hi pocket, he yet directed hi horse to be fed aud ample dinner prepared for himself. Strolling Into the kitchen, he noticed the daughter of the hostess wiw ill, aud was told by her . mother that she wa a great suifcrer from fever and ague, aud that the doctors had cn nnaule to cure her. The young collegian atones declared his ability to effect a cure. Taking a piece of parchment, he wrote upon it a cabalitlo word in the Greek character, bound it tightly tipn IhewiUl of the girl, nnd .then, assured her : that while she retained it she would have uu fur'.lur return of her chills ami fever. He remained at the inu fur several days aud the girl tmd no - rclnrn of hor illness. When demanding his bill, the grateful mother said she had bo charge against him, and only regrrttrd her limited mean would not permit, her to makcbiui more ample payment for the healing of her daughter. He rode away in triumph. Aud now A he si t on the" Bench as the Lord Chief Justice of England, he knew that the decrepit old woman on trial for her life before him was tho dnughterof the woman who kept the wayside inn, and upon whose wrist he had bound the putclimenl charm forty year before Hhc hud followed iu hi own footsteps, ami had leen using the charm for the benefit of her neighbor and friend. The Chief Justice called her , up; And, Bit she unfolded some old greasy rags, sho pre sented to him the well worn parchment witlt the cabalistic word In hi own hand writing written unhi it. It I needles to add T.iat the woman waaat ouco din t-bulged. . A RADFIRK. 'Joties, bave you liesriHT the fird that burned up tho insu'u hutue aud lot ? o. bmitu ; whore was It;' Here iu the city.
