A few days ago, at North Adams, Mass., the chief constable seized a jar of rum and arrested the party in whose possession is was found, for selling intoxicating liquors. At the examination before the district judge, he swore and testified that he had seized the liquor, and made a detailed statement of the fact. Hon. Shepard Thayer, the attorney for the prisoner, asked him if he knew it was liquor. He replied "Yes, it was rum." He was then asked how he knew it was rum, and he replied, that he had drank some of ij. The prisoner, who was a woman, was then called as a witness in her own behalf, when the following questions were put and received : Q. Did you have any liquor in your house when the state constable called there ? A. Yes, I had some rum in a jar. Q. How long have you had it ? A. About six months. Q. Did you have it to sell ? A. Oh ! no. I don't sell liquor. Q. What did you have this rum for? A. I kept it to wasb the baby. Q. Had you ever washed the baby in this rum ? A. O, yes, often ! I used to turn out some in a dish, wash the baby in it, and then turn it back in the jar again. Q. Do you mean to say that this was the same liquor of which the state constable drank ? A. The very same. There was great laughter in the court, and the state constable declared he would seize no more liquor that was kept in a jar.

Man Is Never Satisfied.?"Dear Sue," he whispered, "do you think if I married you your father would ever forgive us?" "I'm sure he would, dear," she asserted, softly. "And would he give us a house of our own ?" "I kuow he would dearest." "And would he give us enough to live sumptuously on?" "I am sure of it, Harry." "And would he take me into the firm ?" "Certainly he would." "And let me ruu the business to suit myself?" "Of course he would, darling." She snugged to his bosom, but he put her aside coldly. "I can never marry you," he said hoarsely. "Your father is too anxious to get you off' his hands." ?aT In Washington county, Miss., which is liable to annual inundation from the Father of Waters, dwells old Jesse D. On one occasion he was a witness in a case, and prefaced his an- j swer to every question wun toe irrelevant remank, "Wa'al, I war desp'rately overflowed that year." Annoyed by the constant reputation of this remark, the examining counsel Anally said, in a rather sneering tone, "Mr. D., will please state to the court and jury what you mean by being 'desp'rately overflowed ' ?" Straightening himself up to his full height?6 feet 3?and with a drawl of corresponding length, he replied : "Wa'al, sar, I mean thar war too much water for wagonin,' and not enough forboatin'." The counsel gave it up. Far-Reaching Benevolence.?

"So Manassob made Jadah and the nhnbitants of Jerusalem to err and to do voree than the heathen whom the Lord lad destroyed before the ohlldren of srael." This is a summary of the prevl)us part of this ohaptor concerning the ilns of Manasscb, who began to reign when io was 13 years old and reigned 55 years n Jerusalem. Ho sbed innooent blood ?ery much till ho had filled Jerusalem rom one end to another (II Kings xxl, 10). 3o wrought much evil in tho sight of the jord to provoke Him to anger. Then ibink of the people of God acting worse ban the heathen who knew not God, and wen worshiping an idol, a carved image, n the house of God where He bad put His lame and His glory 1 What a oontrast to he oonduct of his father Hezekiab, who or the most part wrought good and right ind truth before the Lord his God (ohapier xxxl, 20). How could such a good fa,her have such a bad son ? But it is not in uncommon story. Consider the sons >f Eli and of Samuel and of David. How tould sinful King Ahaz, because of whose lins tho Lord brought Judah low (chapter txviil, 19), have such a good son as HezeciabF His motbor's name was Abi, the laughter of Zacbariah (II Kings xvlii, 2), ind to her possibly much is due. But Malasseh's mother was Hephzlbah (my deightis in her), and if there is anything in i name he, too, may have bad a good mothtr (II Kings xxl, 1). Our Heavenly Father tnows what it is to have rebellious chiliren (Isa. 1. 2), and when Ho permits us to lave rebellious children it is a ground of 'ellowshlp with Him. 10. "And the Lord spake to Manasseh, ind to his people, but they would not learken." Ob, how often the Lord has to lay concerning those whom He would ovo to bless that they would not let Him, ;hey would not listen to Him, they would lot come to Him (Isa. xxx, 15; Math, xxlli, 17- -John v. 401. If we onlv would receive His word with meekness, yield fully to 31m and bo willing and obedient, bow nuoh of heaven we might have upon the iarth! How earnestly God 'cries to His jeople by His sorvants the prophets, as, for example, in Jer. ill, 18, 14, "Only acknowledge thine iniquity; turn, O backiliding children, saitb the Lord, for 1 am narried unto you." Seo also Ezek. xvill, 10-32; xxxiii, 11, etc. 11. "Wherefore the Lord brought upon ;bem the captains of the host of the king )f Assyria, which took Manasseb among ;ho thorns and bound him with fetters ind carried him to Babylon." Thus he found some reaping, for whatsoever a man lowetb that shall bo also reap, and they who sow the wind may reap tho whirlwind [Gal. vi, 7; Hos.viii, 7). Affliction is ofien the best thing that can come to one who is wandering from God. God is not willing that any 6bould perish, and if sinners will not listen to gracious words of ovo He will seek to win them by chastening, as He has said in Job xxxiii, 29, 80. 12. "And when he was in affliction be aesought tho Lord bis God and bumbled bim6olf greatly before the God of bis faihers." It is ofton tho case that only in affliction will a soul turn to tho Lord, even as it is written in Hos. v, 15, "In their affliction they will seek Me early." It will bo soon on a larger scalo some day, [or it is written in Isa. xxvl, 0, "When rhy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. " Even the fearful judgments of Rev. Ix and xvl are Intended, if possible, to bring men to repentance. See Rev. ix, 20, "k- * A * 1 T"\_1.3 3 1 * ?111 Qli XVI, V, 11. rnuu tiuu chjii will aic born in us as the results of Adam's sin, the work of tbo devil, and all people are aitber Cains or Abels, the formor proudly resisting Ood and His salvation, and the tatter humbly confessing their sins and socepting His way of redemption. The Pharisees when our Lord was on earth were of the lino of Cain, religious, but proud and bating God and His way. 13. "And prayed unto Him, and He was entreated of him and beard his supplication and brought him again to Jerusalem into bis kingdom. Tbon Manasseh knew that the Lord He was God." Manasseh was evidently a true penitent, and God's ear is ever open to such. It Is always truo for such on God's purt, "Him that cometh unto Me I will in no wise 3ast out" (John vi, 37). It is written in [ Chron. v, 20 concerning some of Israel that they oried to God in the battle and Be was entreated of them, because they put their trust in Him. Ezra says in jhaptar viii, 23, "So we fasted and bosought our God for this, and He was entreated of ua." As to tbo meroy which Is with God for the greatest sinnorwbo with true penitence turns to Him we need only ;onsider the case of the penitent thief or ar haul oi iarsus. uui wno ooum oe greai3r in sin than this sou of Hezeklahf 14. "Now after tbls he built a wall without the city of David." The buildiug of this wall and the placing of captains of war in the fencod cities does not imply any lack of trust in Ood, but is rather suggestive of keeping the Lord's property for the Lord. In Canticles iv, 13, the bride is compared to a garden Inclosed, a spring shut up, a fountain sealed; something kept solely for tho owner. In Isa. lx, 18, the walls of Zion are called salvation and her gates praise. In Zeoh. il, 5, tho Lord says Ho will bo unto hor a wall of fire round about. Walls and protections of any kind are naught unless they are of God. 15. "And ho took away the strange gods and the idol out of the house of the Lord." As the children of God we are expooted to put away from us all the works }f tho flesh and to cleanse ourselves from all fllthiness of the flesh and spirit (Epb. Iv, 23, 81; II Cor. vil, 1). Having received the Lord Jesus, we are looked upon as baving died with Him and risen from the lead to walk in newness of life; dead unto Bin, but alive unto God, yielded unto Him as His property for His use exclusively (Rom. vi, 4, 11, 13). 16. "And he repaired the altar of the Lord * * * and commanded .Tudab to servo the Lord God of Israel. Peace and thankaflforlngs are associated in tho law (Lev. rii, 11, 12) and aro in conneotion with the burnt offering, sin offering and other offerings (Lev. vil, 37). All offerings pointed back to Gen. iil, 21, and on to Calvury, (or nothing ?an take awuy sin or make peace with God but the precious blood of tho Lord JeBus, the antitype of all types, ;he substance of overy shadow.

The Clover Manufacturing company will proceed at once to erect a 5,000 spindle mill near to but separate from their present plaut. There was a called meeting of the stockholders there on Tuesday, which was attended by our local capitalist, Mr. John H. Craig, at which this step was resolved upou. The new mill will contain the best modern machinery for producing a finer grade of goods than those turned out by the present plant.

Mr. Beattie Goforth, who lives ouly about five miles from towu, out in the Elbelhel section, was in towu oue day not long since and gave us a pleasant call. He in. formed us that it was the first time he had been in the place in seven years, i lacking only a few days. Mr. Goforth has not been in good health, which accounts for his long stay from our town. He is now much improved in his throat trouble and will doubtless visit us oftener.

Then it bit Mr. Lorenzo Heavuer on the thigh. It also bit a cow belonging to Dr. Kluttz and a number of dogs. Immediately ! after he was bitten, youug Plott. had Dr. Kluttz to cut out the flesh around i the wound. His lather came at once for The Journal's madstone and it was applied at once. It did not stick to young Plott's wound, but adhered to that of Mr. Heavner for half an hour. The prompt action taken by young Plott and the fact that Mr. Heavuer was bitten through his clothing, relieves their minds of hydrophobia. CHESTER?The Lantern, Novem4 : The A. R.
