At the assizes held during the past year at Lincoln, Eng., both judge and counsel had much trouble to make the timid witness upon trial speak sufficiently loud to be heard by the jury, and it is possible that the temper of the counsel may thereby have been turned aside from the even tenor of its way. After this gentleman had gone through the various stages of the bar pleading, and had coaxed, threatened, and even bullied witnesses, there was called into the box a young ostler, who appeared to be simplicity personified. "Now, sir," said the counsel, in a tone he would at any other time have denounced as vulgarly loud, "I hope we shall have no difficulty in making you speak up." "I hope not, sir," was shouted, or rather bellowed, out bj the witness, 10 tones wmcn almost shook she building, and would have alarmed any timid or nervous lady. "How dare you speak in that way sir?" said the counsel. "Please, zur, I can't speak any louder, zur," said the astonished witness, attempting to shout louder than before, evidently thinking the fault to be his speaking too softly. "Pray, have you been drinking this morning ?" shouted the counsel, who had now thoroughly lost the last remnant of his temper. "Yes, zur," was the reply. "And what have you been drinking?" "Coffee, zur." "And what did you have in your coffee, sir ?" shouted the exasperated counsel. "A spune, zur," was the answer, innocently spoken, amid the roars of the whole court, excepting only the now thoroughly wild counsel, who flung down his brief and rushed out of the court Spite.?Spite does not always show itself in this vulgarly practical shape. When Count Stackelberg was sent as ambassador from the court of Empress Catherine of Russia to the King of Poland, Thurgut was also sent thither by Germany. On arriving at the Polish court, Thurgut was ushered into a splendid saloon, where he found an imposing looking personage seated in great state, and surrounded by a numerous aud obsequious suite. The German ambassador took him for the king, and went through the customary formalities, and not until the entrance of the real king did he discover that the individual to whom he had been paying such profound homage, and who had received him in so haughty and dignified silence, was Count Stackelberg. Deeply mortified and humiliated, the German euvoy retired, naturally entertaining no very amiable sentiments toward the man who had calmly sat and quizzed another ambassador, making a fool of himself. An opportunity of giving vent to his feelings came in the course of the evening, when the two ambassadors were playiDg cards with the monarch. ' The King of Clubs," said Thurgut, throwing down a card, which, no doubt, he very well knew was not the King of Clubs. "No," said the king, "you're wrong ; it is the Knave." "I beg your Majesty's pardon," returned Tharemt. with a malicious glance at the am bassador at the other side of the table; "I beg your Majesty's pardon. That's the second time to day I have taken a knave for a king." ? m Pray for Grace.?Old Uncle Roberts is a colored preacher, whose words of wisdom are often long remembered, even if their utterance lacks sometimes the beauty and finish of more polished speakers. Having as his audience on one occasion two young men, he discoursed to them as follows, prefacing his remarks with an apology because, though the hour was late when they called, he was still at supper : "Excuse me, young gemmen, excuse me, for keeping you in waiting, but de reason I was tardy wid my supper, I was 'tending to what I calls my duty fust. My custom is to pray free times a day?in de morning, at noon, and when my work is frew. I has been round a good deal, 'mong ministers and such, and I notice dey bad der breakfast, clear up de tings, and all dat, before dey hab any prayer. Now, my rule is always to gib de inner man his breakfast fust. Pray for grace, young gemmen, pray for grace. Satan always strike de weakest point. Take it way back in de garden dar.

Now, dey being a kind of new married couple, he dident want to disobey, I spose, so be took it, placed it in his mouf, tasted it, and de ting was done. Pray for grace, young gemmeu, always pray for grace." Randolph and the Landlord.?John Raudolph was traveling in a part of Virginia with which he was unacquainted. In the meantime he stopped during the night at an inn at the fork of the road. The inkeeper was a fine old gentleman. Knowing who his distinguished guest was, he endeavored to draw him into conversation, but failed in all his efforts. But in the morning when Mr. Randolph was ready to start, he called for his bill, which, on being presented, was paid. The landlord, still anxious to have some conversation with him, began as follows: "Which way are you traveling Mr. Randolph?" "Sir," said Mr. Randolph, with a look of displeasure. "I asked," said the landlord, "which way were you traveling." "Have I paid my bill ?" "Yes." "Do I owe you anything more?" "No." "Well, I am going just where I please?do you understand?" The landlord, by this time, got somewhat excited, and Mr. Randolph drove off*. But to the landlord's surprise, the servant returned to inquire which of the forks of the road to take. Randolph not being out of hearing distance, the landlord spoke at the top of his voice: "Mr. Randolph, you don't owe me a cent; j just take which road you please." A Parallel Comparison.?Old English j sextons have a traditional reputation for wit,; reaching as far back, at least, as the gravedigger in "Hamlet." One of this class stood listening one day to a street-preacher in the market-place. The preacher, an uneducated man, attempted an oratorical flight. "My brethren," heexclaimed, "if every field in wnrld war thrown into one field, what a great field that would be!" "Ah 1" said the sex too, loud enough to be heard, "if every jackass in the world was one jackass, what a big jackass that 'ud be !" One of the workers in the Liberia movement met a wise old darkey in Shreveport, La. He was describing the great benefits the ! negro would enjoy by emigrating, and told him that there the negro did not have to work; there the milk and honey and bread and sugar trees covered the forests, and bananas, cocoanuts, pineapples, lemons and all the tropical j fruits grew everywhere. "Dat's 'nough of dat story," said the old darkey; "dat ain't so, kase if it was de white man would a wentdar long ago, and de niggers never would hab > known nuffiu 'bout it." "I have often wondered," said a wouldbe wit, to an eminent divine, "why, at a dinner table, the goose is always placed before j the clergyman." "That was just my case i ^when I saw you placed before me," the cler- j gyoaan quietly remarked. i Reading for the $ahhath. CONDUCTED BT REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original.] "PROMISE OF THE FATHER." Luke, 24:29. When Jesus was apprehended, his disciples were all scattered ; and when he was crucified, well nigh all their hopes, for the time, died. Clearly, from the whole history of the life of Jesus, as related in the Scriptures, his followers never, for a moment, calculated that things would come to so gloomy an end. Whatever may have been their notions of Jesus and his work, one thing is certain, they did not think that to die and to be raised again from the dead, was a part of the great work which he had voluntarily undertaken. When, by bis own power, Jesus rose from the dead and showed himself to his heart broken disciples, they were astonished. Lu ke 24:22. They did not believe that Jesus would die by the bauds of bis enemies, aud when this did take place, they were not prepared to believe that he would ever again be seen on earth. He did, however, rise from the dead and appear to his disciples. First, he was seen after his resurrection by Peter ; then by the twelve. Again, he was seen by more than five hundred persons. At another time, he appeared to James, and last, (if we except Paul) he was seen by all the apostles. 1 Corinthians, 15. On this last occasion, he directed the apostles to tarry at Jerusalem until they would be endued with power from on high. This enduing them with power from on hierh. is exnlained in Acts, 1:4 to be the baptism of the Holy Ghost. Id the prophecies of Joel, 2ad chapter and 28th verse, we find these words: "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upoo all flesh ; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy ; your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." Before his cruciflxion, our Saviour told his disciples that he would "pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter." John, 14:16. In the 26th verse of this same chapter, they are told that this promised comforter is the Holy Ghost. John the Baptist, told his hearers and followers that he, whom he had come to announce, would baptize them with the Holy Ghost. Matt. 3:11. It is evident that what the prophets Joel and Isaiah meant by God pouring out his Spirit, is the same thing that John the Baptist denotes by baptizing with the Holy Ghost. When Jesus chose his twelve apostles (Luke 6:13) and afterward seventy disciples, (Luke 10:11) they received this baptism of the Holy Ghost in part. They were selected and endowed with the power or worxing miracles. By the express command of the Saviour, they were forbidden to make any provision for the journey. In one word, they were commanded to go out, not to preach the gospel in the ordinary sense of that word, but to proclaim that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. Luke 10: 9. Their mission was to work miracles. To prove to those whom they might visit that the fixed time which God had set for actually making an atonement for sinners was nigh at hand, they were endowed with power to heal the sick, to cleanse the lepers, to raise the dead and to cast out devils. Matt. 10:8. The report which these disciples made on their return to the Saviour, is in these words: "Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name." Luke 10:17. This miraculous power which Christ bestowed upon his disciples, was a literal fulfil-1 merit of Old Testament prophecies. God poured out his spirit upoD them. In other words, they were baptized with the Holy Ghost. But it was not complete; for although chosen to work miracles, they were not set apart and 6tted for the work of New Testament ministers. The Lamb of God had Dot been sacrificed. No atonement had, as yet, been made. It, was still only a promise. When Jesus died upon the cross, the long-promised atonement, to which the Old Testament saints looked forward, was made, and the resurrection of Jesus demonstrated that God had accepted the sacrifice which he offered for sin. Why, it may be asked, were not his disciples, so soon as he arose from the grave, fully 1 - - tt i nii . n tin I baptized witn ine noiy unosi; vv ny were they told to tarry at Jerusalem ? There is a reason ; but before we give it, let us notice what the disciples needed. The attentive reader of the Scriptures can not have failed to see that when Jesus rose from the grave, having triumphed over death, he had no disciple that was prepared to preach Christ and him crucified. It is true, they had spent a large part of three years in receiving instruction from the Saviour himself. Still, he says, after his resurrection, that they were "fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets had spoken." Luke 24: 25. The disciples imrlnrafonrllnrra fn Ka Anonorl UCCUCU tUOXl uiiUViovHUUiugd W\y wv u^/wuv/uy I that they might understand the Scriptures. Until they were enlightened so that they could understand that Jesus "ought to have suffer- j ed," or that Jesus suffered in accordance with the teachings of the Scriptures, they were unfit j to preach Christ and him crucified. This! knowledge Jesus bestowed upon them after his resurrection. See Luke 24:45. They had previously received miraculous power by | which they were enabled to demonstrate to all j with whom they came in contact, that the kingdom of God was come nigh. So soon as Jesus died, or perhaps before he died, this miraculous power was withdrawn, because no I longer needed. A special baptism of the Holy Ghost they now, after the resurrection j of Jesus, needed to be able to demonstrate ; that the kingdom of God had not only come 1 "nigh," but had actually come. They needed " ? . i mi _ I special baptism ior a particular wora. ins canon of Scripture was not complete. The Old Testament Scriptures were finished, but the New Testament was not begun. The work of organizing the Church of God iu conformity with the "better covenant," had also to be done. All this Jesus Christ left to be per- j formed by men?mere men ; but men baptized 1 with the Holy Ghost, and consequently, fully fitted for the task. It is clear to every Bible reader, that none of the disciples of our Sa-I viour were, at the time of his resurrection, capable of writing a history of his life; of demonstrating, in any infallible manner, that Tnn.io u>oc the nrnmiserl Messiah : or of or- ! UCOUo nuo vtiv w... r ganizing the New Testament Church. We are now prepared to inquire why the risen Saviour commanded his disciples to tarry at Jerusalem until they were eudued with power from on high. It will assist us in answering this interesting and important inquiry, if we will remember that Jesus Christ was the great high priest of whom all the high priests, under the Abfaraic covenant, as supplemented in the days of Moses typre. only types. The duties of a high priest, under this Abramic covenant, was to offer up gifts and sacrifices (Heb. 8 : 3) and anpually f.o i mate intercession for the Bjns of the people j oo the great day of the atonement, by enter-1 ing into the holy of holies. All that the high priest did, was typical, and he himself was a type. The sacrifices typified an atonement which the promised Messiah would make. The holy of holies, or interior part of ; the tabernacle, or second tabernacle as it is j translated, (Heb. 9 : 6,) was a type of heaven. : This beiug the case, the type and anti-type ; could not be in force at one and the same I time. The law pertaining to the Aaronic i priesthood continued in full and binding j force, from the time of its publication, till that which was signified by it was fully ac' complished. There may have been times iu i the history of the Jews, when the high priest 1 ceased, in fact, to discharge the duties of his {office; hut at no time in the history of the Jews, from the days of Moses to the ascension of Jesus Christ, did the office of high priest cease to exist. When Jesus died upon the cross, he made an atonement. That is, be did onlv what was tvDified bv that which the J * A priest did iu the outer, or, as it is translated, (Heb. 9: 6) first tabernacle. In other words, he had accomplished only part of what was typified by the duties of the Aaronic priesthood. His intercessory work, as yet, had not begun. This he could not begin until he entered into heaven the anti-type of the holy of holies. The simple statement of the fact is, Jesus commanded his disciples "to tarry in Jerusalem" until he had accomplished the whole of the work he had undertaken. As a priest, Christ offered up himself a sacrifice ; as a priest, he rose from the dead ; and as a priest, by his own blood, he entered heaven, having obtained for us eternal redemption.' Heb. 9:12. Not many days after the last conversation of the Saviour, with his disciples they were visited with a wonderful out-pouring of God's Holy Spirit. In other words, they were baptized with the Holy Ghost. What length of time intervened between the ascension of the Saviour and the baptism of his disciples with the Holy Ghost, we have no means of know ing. it was not long, we suppose, it is a matter of little importance, since we are informed that Jesus was faithful in fulfilling his promise. The disciples did tarry at Jerusalem, and when the pentecostal season had arrived, whilst they were all in one house, they were baptized with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with tongues. Acts 2. That is, they began to speak fluently and correctly, languages which they had never learned. Peter began to preach the gospel. "Let," says he, "the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ." The baptism of the Holy Ghost was the promise of the Father, for the fulfillment of which the disciples were commanded to tarry at Jerusalem. This baptism of tbe Holy Ghost fitted the apostles for completing the canon of Scripture, and for orgauizing the New Testament church. The Aaronic priesthood was in lawful existence until Jesus i I * - - iL. -!_Li 1 1 Uhrist toon ni8 seat on me ngnt nauu 01 me Majesty on high. Hence, had Jesus failed to ascend to heaven or not "gone to the Father," the New Testament church would not have been organized. It was this baptism of the Holy Ghost which enabled the disciples, after the ascension of Jesus, to be more successful preachers than Jesus himself was during the whole of his ministry. It was this baptism of the Holy Ghost that entitled the followers of Christ to be called Christians. When this baptism of the Holy Ghost took place, then the Aarouic priesthood ceased by law, and all its rites and ceremonies were abolished forever. The way was now opened for the introduction of the simple rites of the New Testament church. Now, and not before, could the apostles lawfully go iuto all the world to preach the gospel. They received the commission to preach the gospel to all the world prior to the ascension of Jesus; but they were nAmmonilo^ to tftrrtf at Jerusalem until thev UUUI.U.....V. ? j were baptized with the Holy Ghost, before they began to exercise the functions of their office. God made a covenant with Abraham, I in which the promise was made that in Abraham's seed all the nations of the earth should be blessed. Gen. 26: 4. This Aaronic covenant God amended in the days of Moses, by addiug the Aaronic priesthood with its various rites, ceremonies and sacrifices. God, however, all along, promised that he would add another and final amendment. This final amendment consisted not in changing the nature of the covenant, but in a change in its mode of administration. This change could not, by law, be made until Jesus entered heaven, and the Holy Ghost was sent by the Father. What a grand train of thought is suggest* 1 ?' 1-- ?? T? 1 >> ea Dy must; wurus. mirj at uciuoaiciu. The Lamb of God made a sacrifice for sin, and that glorious period of the world's history is about to be ushered in, when God will proclaim to "whosoever will," that "he will he their God, and they shall be his people, and that he will forgive their iniquity and remember their siu no more forever." Jer. 31: 31?35. The time is at band when the wild olive is about to be grafted into the good olive tree. The time is at hand when the middle wall of the partition which separates Jew and Gentile is to be broken down, never again to be rebuilt or repaired. The disciples did tarry at Jerusalem, and they were baptized with the Holy Ghost, and endued with power from on high, and the gospel is now and has ever since that memorable day when the apostles were filled with the Holy Ghost, (A.cts, 2:4) been preached to the Gentiles, and so it will be until the church militant Konnmoo thp nhurnh t.rinmnh&nt.

This one met the lady with demonstrations of great delight upon her arrival at her father's house, and that night the dog went a distance of seven miles to a farm house, where one of the other dogp, who had become bliud, had been sent, and where he was kept as an old favorite.
