MR. PEEK'S HORSE.
v
The witness was being examined by the conn- v
sel for the prosecution. i ^
"Mr. Peek, you say, was sitting in his house 0
in front of Jones' store when Mr. Lazenby!
addressed him ?" I *
"Yes, sir; and Lazenby says, says he, *
'Where did that glandered ruin come from ?'" j
"Was he referring to Mr. Peek or to the
horse ?"
? "To the horse. And Peek he allowed that:
he didn't want Lazenby to apply any opprobri- *
ous expressions to the horse or he'd knock | ,
the head off of him." I
"Off the horse V"
"Off of Lazenby. Then Lazenby^ he said i ^
he'd say what he pleased about Peek ana
about Peek's horse; that it wasa free country,
and that when he saw a horse like that, he
was ashamed to think that the Republican
l>arty had nominated him for Congress ;
and"?
"One moment; do I understand you to say
that it was Peek or the horse that was nominated
for Congress?"
"Why Peek, of course. The horse, you
know, couldn't get a nomination. So then
Peek opened on him a volley of rough language,
which made him so mad that he fairly
turned white in the face."
"Not the horse ?"
"No, no, Lazenby. Peek was sitting on the
horse, which stood quietly in the street.
Then Lazenby rushed at him and caught
him by the elbow and was going to hit him
when?"
"Try to make yourself clear. Caught Peek
or the horse by the elbow ?"
"Peek, and tried to pull him off. This
frightened the horse and Peek could hardly
hold him in; and as Lazenby still held on,
Peek dug the spur in his side so that he reared
right up on his hind legs, which?"
"You are nowspeakingof Lazenby
"Certainly not?of the horse, which threw ?
Peek off, right under the horse's feet, and then 1
they clinched and rolled over and over in the <
mud." ' i
"Peek and who clinched ? Peek 'didn't <
clinch with the horse ?" {
"Oh, no ! Don't you understand ? Peek and ]
Lazenby grappled and went at it like two wild <
cats. They fought and fought, Peek mostly
on top, and the horse standing calmly by and i
watching the conflict and Lazenby doing his I
best, when suddenly he reached out his hind i
leg and fetched one on Peek's back, which 1
pretty nearly took the breath out of him." <
"When you speak of the sudden extension 1
of the hind leg I do not understand you to ;
mean Lazenby's leg, do I ?" <
"I suppose you think that's smart, don't .
you ?" i
"Please answer my question. You say
Peek was kicked in the back. Now, did La- 1
zenby kick him or did the horse kick him ?" i
"Maybe you'd better subpoena the horse and <
ask him."
"Well, sir ; go on. What did he do afterhe
was kicked ?"
"He got up off of Lazenby and walked^iver
to the horse, and Lazenby got up, and as Peek
went to take hold of the horse he shied half a
brick at him."
"At Peek ?" i
"Yes, sir."
"The horse, you say, shield half a brick at
Peek ?"
"No, I didn't."
"I think you said that I"
"Maybe you'd better tell this story yourself
1"
"Go on. Was it the horse or the?"
"If I wasn't in court I'd shy a brick at
you," said the indignant witness.
And then the counsel for the prosecution
announced that the other side might proceed
with the cross-examination?Mux Alder in

All Broke Up.?"Why don't you go
West ?" demanded the man, after telling the
tramp that he had no small change and could
not aid him.
"I've been out there."
"Why didn't you stay ?"
" 'Cause I lost my all."
"What all did you have?"
"Stranger," said the man as he leaned back
and wiped his forehead, "I went to Illinois
with SO,000 in cash. I went into the business
of raising frogs for the market. There was
every show that I would clear S10,000 the
first year, when a climax knocked me plumb
centre all in one night."

property. That's what broke me all up, and
I've come east to see about getting up a machine
to scratch a hog's back?something that (
will permit a hog to scratch himself. If ,

He got it without further explanation.? ,

A IIard Story.?How hard corn bread J

story, told by an old gentleman in Western 1
Arkansas: 1
"I have been living down here, below Fort 1
Smith, for twenty years. The desk in my office
is at the head of a long flight of stairs,
and in the haste of business my inkstand is
often knocked off and rolled down. For a 1
long time I could get no material that would '
stand this usage. Glass was out of the ques- '
tion. Stone broke like crockery. The hardest

lucky thought struck me. I sent up to one of ;
my neighbors, the widow B?, for a piece of 1
corn bread. After ruining several tine tools, !
1 succeeded it hollowing it, and shaping it into
an inkstand. That was ten years ago ; and *
stranger, I've used that instand ever since ; ,
and I reckon it is good for at least two gene- !
rations longer."

A Considerate IIusuand.?Not long 1
since one of the Schaumburg girls married
a man who was celebrated for his poverty
and other bad habits. Yesterday Gilhooly
met Mose Schaumburg on Austin Avenue, 1
and asked him how his married daughter was |
coming on.
"She vash doing fine. Her huspand vash
so kind. He schoost puys her ebery dings
she vants. He vash so good mit her. He 1
schoost puys her every tings."
"I am glad he is so considerate."
"Veil, I vasen't glad he vash so kind mit .

"Why not?" !

is it sir?" was the affable greeting, "lou
made a little mistake in your announcements {
yesterday, sir.'" "Very likely. It is almost impossible
to keep from making mistakes some 1 ,
times. What was it?" "You said me and ,
Lizzie Piinpkins were bothered, when we are (
not bothered at all. We are betrothed, sir. ,
Quite a difference." "Ah, I presume you !

Had Seen tiie Anecdote.?A good sto- 1
ty is told by a French paper of two provin- j
cials, a man and his wife, who visited the
Louvre, in Paris. "What struck you most at
the Louvre?" asked one of their friends, when ]
they returned home and began to tell of the <
wonders they had seen. "Oh," replied the j
husband, "a picture which represented Ad
am and Eve, with the apple and the serpent." \
And his excellent wife chimed in: "Yes we 1
found that very interesting, because, you

A Good One.?A gentleman, on a visit to ]
Washington, one day, very coolly opened the 1
door of the Senate Chamber, and was about to ; <
pass in, when the door keeper asked : "Are j 1
you a privileged member ?" "What do you j i
mean by that ?" asked the stranger. The re- '
ply was, "A governor, an ex-member of Con- 1
gress, or a foreign minister." The stranger 1
replied that he was a minister. "From what 1
court or country ?" asked the official. Very i
gravely pointing up, the stranger replied, ;
"From Heaven, sir." To this the door keep- <
er waggishly replied, "This government holds <
no intercourse with that foreign power." 1

Home, Sweet Home.?John Howard Payne
ras a warm personal friend of John Ross, who
Fill l>e remembered as a celebrated chief of
lie Cherokees. At the time when the Cherkees
were removed from their homes in Geor;ia
to their present possessions, west of the
Mississippi river, Payne was spending a few
reeks in Georgia with Ross, who was occupyng
a miserable cabin, having been forcibly
jected from his former home. A number of
irominent Cherokees were in prison, and that
>ortion of Georgia in which the tribe was looted
was scoured by armed squads of the
ieorgia militia, who had orders to arrest all
vho refused to serve the country.
While Ross and Payne were seated before
he lire in a hut, the door was suddenly burst
>pen, and six or eight militia-men sprang into
he room. Ross' wife was seated on a trunk
lontaining many valuable papers and a small
imount of money, and, at the unexpected inrusion,
she sprang up and screamed wildly,
toss spoke to her in the Cherokee language,
elling her to be seated if she would save the
:ontents of the trunk, and as she sat down
main, the intruders told Ross that he and
Payne were under arrest, and must prepare to
iccompuny the squad to Milledgevillc, where
hey would be imprisoned. The soldiers lost
10 time in taking the prisoners away. Ross
,vas permitted to ride on his own horse, while
Payne was mounted on one led bv a soldier.
Ys the little party left the hovel rain began
'ailing and continued until every man was
lrenched thoroughly. The journey lasted all
light. Toward midnight Payne's escort, in
irder to keep himself awake, began huinning?home?sweet?sweet?home,"
when
Payne remarked : *
''Little did I expect to hear that song unler
such circumstances and at such a time.
Do you know the author?"
"No," said the soldier; "do you?"
"Yes," Payne answered; "I composed it."
"The deuce you did ! You can tell that to
some other fellows, but not to me. Look
lere, you made that song you say. If you
lid?and I know you didn't?you can say it
ill without stopping. It has something in it
ibout pleasures and palaces. Now pitch in
md reel it off, and if you can't I'll bounce
fou from your horse and lead you instead
if it."
This threat was answered by Payne, who related
the song in a slow, subdued tone, and
ui ? 24- H.a mfL/-\1 a rinrr !
?I1CI1 Sitllg 11, ILIcttvlll^ I/IIC n IIUJC nwua hmj,
with the tender melody and pathos of the
words. It touched the heart of the rough sollier,
who was not only captivated but convinced,
and who said that the composer of
such a song should never go to prison, if lie
2ould help it; and when the party reached
Milledgeville they were, after a preliminary examination,
discharged, much to their surprise.
Payne insisted it was because the leader of
the squad had been under the magnetic influence
of Ross' conversation, and Ross insisted
that the had been saved ?rom insult and
imprisonment b/the power of "Home, Sweet
Home," sung as only those who feel can sing
it. The friendship existing between Ross and
Payne endured until the grave closed over the
mortal remains of the latter.

How to Sleep Well.?No healthful sleep
comes except that which follows voluntary
or involuntary action of the body. Pedestrians
fall into sound, deep sleep as soon as put
to bed at the appointed time for rest. This
is the sleep from voluntary muscular exercise.
A i>erson in good health sits around the house
all day; an invalid may all day sit and lounge
and lie down from morning until night without
sleeping; and both the healthy man and
the invalid, in the course of the evening, will
become sleepy ?* d fall into sound repose, the
result of the weariness which involuntary
action brings about; for the various organs of
the body, the heart, the liver, the stomach,
the eyelids, work steadily every day. The intestines
are as ceaseless in their motion as
the waves of the ocean; as these latter are
always dashing toward the shore, so is the
great viscereal machinery working, pushing
waste of the body downward and outward from
the first breath of existence to the last gasp of
life. There is not a movement of the system,
voluntary or involuntary, external or internal,
which does not require power to cause it.
When that power is to a certain extent exhausted,
instinct brings on the sensation of
sleepiness, which is the result of exhausted
power, intended by nature to secure that cessation
from activity which gives time for reeul>eration,
very much as a man who runs for a
while stops and rests so as to get stronger to
run again. We get up in the morning with
a certain amount of reserved or accumulated
strength; in the course of the day that strength
becomes expended to the point necessary for
the commencement of a new supply, which
comes from the rest, the rest from sleep.
Opium narcotics, all forms of anodynes,
cause sleep artificially, compelling rest. A
horse may be tired so that he cannot move ;
he is compiled to be at rest; it is not the rest
of tiredness, hence it is unnatural. Anodynes
tie a man down ; they take away his power of
motion, they compel a rest, but it is not the
rest which is the result of used-up strength,
hence it is an artificial rest causing an artificial
sleep, not natural; and sleep which is un/.rtnimf

Tiiaddeus Stevens,?Thaddeus Stevens
was buried in tlie graveyard for colored people
at Lancaster. He declined to lay his
bones with those who were too proud to associate
themselves even in death with the race
whose sufferings had excited his sympathy.
In his public conduct, in his domestic life,
and in his testamentary arangements, he made
clear his detestation of the destinction which
society had always mantained.
Stevens was certainly the great Commoner
t>f the war period. He was for a while the
House of Representatives; its action lay in
his voice. Opposition wilted before his strong
will. Weaker men, and sometimes more
conscientious men, cowed beneath his lash,
and were driven into measures they fain
would have escaped. Gen Garfield, for instance,
did not believe in the constitutionality
of the reconstruction laws ; he had, indeed
demonstrated their unconstitutionality in the
Supreme Court; but he voted for them under
Stevens' stern command as obediently as if
it had been high treason to have an opinion of
his own. Stevens tolerated "no nonsense,"
as he called it. When a member offended him,
or was slack in his service, which he called
the service of the party, he had no hesitation
in writing to the gentleman's constituents
tnat nenaa 110 runner use ior aim, anu mey
had better keep him at home. Tie never pretended
that he thought the reconstructional
laws constitutional. On the contrary he candidly
stated his opinion that they were entirely
"outside the constitution," and as candidly
expressed his sovereign contempt for the
intellect of any man who supposed they were
inside. Ilis doctrine of political necessity
covered the case. He had no notion of pausing
to consider of matters in their mere legal
right when the interest he had in charge reiiuired
him to go ahead.
With much of the moral coarseness of Danton,
lie had many of the high mental qualities
of Mirabeau. Tie was one of the greatest
of revolutionary leaders. lie rode the
storm and rode it for a purpose. There was
a time when Mr. Lincoln's power was not
comparable to the actual power wielded by
Stevens. No other man in American history
has ever occupied the singular position
which courage, genius and stern conviction
?ave him.?Phihuleli?ki<i Press.
Tur Vni.-inHiimw?The "I.:nlv nf
Alexandria," who is contributing to the
Kohmche Zeitumj those interesting sketches of
liome life in Egypt, which none but a woman
could give in detail, sends a picture of the
interior of the Khedive's house. Tewfik Pacha,
is most persons are probably aware, has distinguished
himself from his contemporaries
upon eastern thrones by restricting himself,
ifter the western and Christian manner to
me wife. The Vice Queen, as "the Lady"
:alls Tewfik's spouse, is a daughter of El
Elamid Pacha, and grand-daughter of the
famous Abbas Pacha. She is a beautiful and
cultivated women, who tenderly loves her
lusband and her four children, and takes an
tetive part in the education of the latter,
rhe eldest boy, Abbas, and his brother are
taught by a Swiss pedagogue, and the two
ittle girls are placed under the care of Engish
nurses. The Khedive's wife is not free
from hateful tricks of petty annoyance, which
ire often played oil upon her. Thus, she received
lately a visit from two Turkish ladies
:?f high position, to whom she offered, after
the usual custom, cigarettes with the chiffre
of the Khedive upon them. When they had
gone the black servants that these ladies had,
left behind them in the ante chamber numbers
of the cigarettes with the chiffre of Arabi
Pacha, as an insult to the Khedive through
his wife." "The Lady" says that the "Vice
Queen" has passed through agonies since the
first tumult in Cairo. Like the imperial family
in Russia, She is in fear of Palace intrigues,
and lias only a few Circassians about her, in
whom she can place perfect confidence, and
they are slaves. She told her European visitor
that nothing would be so great a joy and
relief to her as an entire renunciation of the
precarious and dangerous splendor and dignity
in which she lives, and the retirement with
her husband and chirdren to a safe and
quiet life. She has always hitherto been profuse
in her charities toward the Arab population
; but since the outbreak of the 11th of
.June, and the fearful scene of which she was a
trembling eye-witness from behind the front
bars of the harem windows, she declares that
she will in future be more circumspect in her
benevolence.*? London Echo
Wiien Girls are of Age.?There is a
very prevalent opinion that girls become of
age younger than boys. This is a mistake.
A girl of sixteen may make a will of her personal
property, a boy must be eighteen years
of age. Neither can make a will of lands until
twenty-one. A boy of seventeen may marry.
A girl can marry at fourteen. If she
marries under fourteen she, or either of her
parents, can commence suit to annul the marriage,
and the court will declare the marriage
void, because she, when married, had not attained
the age of legal consent. But the husband
cannot maintain sjich an action. He is
bound by the marriage, and cannot escape its
responsibilities unless the wife or her parents
have the marriage declared void by the courts.
If the marriage is ratified by any mutual assent
of the parties after the wife attained the age of
fourteen years both become bound by it. A
minor cannot submit to an arbitration, but
may sue of be sued. In a suit she must appear
by a guardian appointed by the court. If she
j be fourteen this is made on her application, if
under fourteen on the application of a relative.
He \Vho deals with a minor does so at his peril,
as contracts with them are voidable. If to the
minor's advantage they can enforce them. If
not their minority is suflicient excuse for refusal
to i?erform. In the matter mentioned
and some others, girls are recognized by the
law as being more forward than boys ; and at
an earlier age afe permitted to act for themselves.
These distinctions are while they are
minors. After they become adults there is no
distinction on account of their age. Boys and
girls alike attain full age when twenty-one
years old. Girls are of age at twenty-one, and

Making Teeth.?1The manufacture of teeth
is a large industry. There are now twelve
manufactories of artificial teeth, that produce
every "year ten million teeth, or one to
every five persons in the United States. Half
this number is made by one firm, founded in
1814. The total sales of these teeth amount
to one million dollars annually. The materials
are lieldspar, kaolin and rock crystal. The
coloring is platinum, titanum and gold. The
lieldspar and crystal are subjected to a red
heat and then thrown into cold water. Then
they are ground in water until fine enough to
float. Combined with coloring, they are subjected
to immense furnace heat in moulds of
brass, which are in two pieces, each moulding
one-half of the tooth.
The process is delicate and has many interesting
details. In the earlier history of the
art dentists carved the teeth which their customers
demanded, and apprentices were often
made useful in that way. The amount of
gold used annually in filling teeth is live hunI
died thousand dollars. Lead was used from
j 1178 to 183:1. There are dentists in New York
who give, or say they give, diamond fillings,
I and in Paris they advertise diamond pivots
and emerald plugs. The filling of teeth is aided
greatly by labor-saving machinery and cunningly-wrought
tools. This country makes
dental instruments for all parts of the world
where dentistry is known. An ordinary outfit
of instruments costs live hundred dollars.
Don'ts fou the Giuls.? Don't run down

Don't think it pretty to be pert.
Don't make a drudge of your mother.
Don't say "no" when you mean "yes."
Don't meddle with other people's beaus.
Don't make a fright of yourself to be in the

Don't engage in picking up chance acquantances
on the street.
Don't look on every young man as a goodnatured
ice-cream freezer.
Don't make up your mind to be sweet to
every-body's brother but your own.
I Don't marry a man who has no evident way
of supporting you. Loye and starvation nave
played out.
Don't lose your heart on a Darwinian specimen
who parts his hair in the middle. There
are plenty of men who want wives, wait patiently
and you will get one.
Don't boast of your ignorance of housework.
In the present state of society there is no
surer stamp of vulgarity.
Marriage.?Marriage, is of all earthly unions,
almost the only one permitting no change
but that of death. It is that engagement in
which man exerts his most awful and solemn
power?the power of responsibility which belongs
to him as one that shall give account, the
power of abnegating the right to change?the
power of parting with his freedom?the power
of doing that which in this world can never
be reversed. And yet it is perhaps that relationship
which is spoken of most frivolously,
and entered into most carelessly and most
wantonly. It is not a union merely between
two creatures, it is a union between two spirits;
and the intention of that bond is to i>erfect
the. nature of both, by supplementing
their deficiencies with the force of contrast,
giving to each sex those excellencies in which
it is naturally deficient; to the one, strength ;
the other, sympathy, tenderness, meekness.
A ii/l .if /.li.n-i/.f in- !nul firmnp?< nf moral will to
just so solemn, and just so glorious as these the
ends are for which the union was contemplaj
ted and intended, just so terrible are the con|
sequences if prevented and abused ; for there
is no earthly relationship which has so much
power to ennoble and to exalt.
I .Don't Go in Deht.?Debt is the most un;
relenting tyrant against which humanity battles.
Before its merciless lash millions cringe,
and live out a dwarfed existence. Suicide, lunacy,
premature death and crime are the offspring
ot this monster; yet upon it money
kings fatten, titled or untitled aristocracy
thrives, while the great mass of humanity
j toils on as galley slaves to this potentate,
j The destruction of this dictator is the probi
lom of the near future, whose solution may be
| found in the destruction of the unjust money
i system and the establishment of a just one.
When business men fully realize the cause of the
: debt system of obtaining money, and demand
that ii shall cease, anxious days and sleepless
i nights will vanish and Immunity will be ad'
vanced to a plane on which the greatest good
i to the greatest number will be realized beyond
the hopes of the most Utopian dreamer.
| Banish debt and civil liberty will have completed
its cycle, and reached the goal.
Slow Growth the Si* rest.?Do not allow
your children to learn too rapidly. The
desire to push a boy ahead to develop precocious
tendencies, to have bright pupils, is
among the vanities of teaching. The surest
growths are the slowest, lie who makes haste
slowly will generally win in the long run?win
at least all that is worth having in the prizes
I of life. This truth will come to general acceptance
with education. A Goethe, a Hugo,
a Carlisle and an Emerson living on to green
old age are of more value to the world than
the corruscating careers of Burns and Byron
and Poe, going out in an hour as it were,
and leaving behind them not so much the work
did as the sorrow of mankind that they did not
do the great work that was in them.
A gentleman who has been familiar with \
the working of the produce market for years J
says that the whole cause of the trouble is in j
the wild craze for speculating. Nothing is j
free from the touch of the speculator. The '
backwardness of the season, that caused a'
scarcity in vegetables, opened the doors for j
speculators, and they rushed in. Meats and
vegetables of all kinds are held in quantity by i
simulators, and while they are making money j
the masses must suffer. "Sopner or later," I
said the gentleman, "something will have to
be done in this country to keep the hands of
the speculators off of the necessaries of life."

TIIE TRUE CHURCH.
It is a fact, which has never been denied,
that man is is a sinner. No matter when or
how lie become a sinner, the fact stares us j
in the face continually. It is also a fact taught (
in the Scriptures, and corroborated by the 1
providence of God, that some remedial scheme !
has been devised by which the evil consequences
of sin maybe averted. No sooner, according
to the Bible account, had man sinned than
God made the announcement that he had devised
a scheme by which his law could be
maintained, in all its dignity, and sinners
saved. This announcement was "at sundry
times and in divers manners," repeated during
a period of full four thousand years.. In process
of time, it assumed all the characteristics
oi a covenant, un eacn successive itiiiiuiineement
the promise was made more clear, until
the fullness of time came, and the Messiah was
born, and the canon of Scripture completed.
Those who accept the promise that the seed
of the woman shall bruise the head of the serpent,
constitute the Church of the living God.
In point of time, they are scattered from Adam
down to the present moment, and will extend
from the present time to the final consummation
of all things. In other respects
they embrace the inliabitants of all lands, and
individuals of all racqgf v
This Church, which Gdil in mercy established
here on earth, has become greatly corrupted.
There is no pure church in this world. The
great arch enemy of souls has sown tares of
corruption, and they continue to grow and
propagate themselves.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Church of
God has, by evil doers, been corrupted, it is
still the duty of all who profess to be members
of the church to strive to keep it pure and
spotless. There is a false church as well as a
true church. There is .counterfeit money as
well as genuine coin. However close the resemblance
of the counterfeit may be to the
genuine coin, it is still very injurious to the
Af /mnnfrtr in \?rf\is>h nirnilkt.PQ
L'luo'"owl ... .?
Just so it is with false religion. It may have
many of the apparent characteristics of true
religion, but still it is in the end ruinous.
The tendency of the evil is to root out good.
The husbandman finds no small part of his labor
to consist in destroying noxious weeds.
Just so to destroy the false church is no small
part of the labors of the true church. The
characteristic of the true church is that it is
strictly a Bible Church. Every false church,
and every corruption of the true church is
anti-Bible, both in theory and practice. To
the true Church the Bible is law on every point.
It is law so far as doctrine, form of government
and mode of worship are concerned. In
true religion there are no doctrines which are
not taught in the Scriptures, neither are there
any forms of church government allowable,
which are not laid down in the Bible, and to
worship God in a way not appointed in his
word is a heinous sin. It may be said that the
Church, in distinction from all false and corrupt
churches, has a Bible creed, a Bible form
of government and a Bible mode of worship.
The true Church may be, and often is corrupted
by introducing into it, for doctrines, the
commandments of men, and for rules of government

MOTIVES.
The reason that some persons do not commit
some sins is because they are cowards. They
ure afraid that if thejolo what they really desire
to do, it will bring them into trouble. If
they were absolutely sure that no one could
Hud them out, they would do all sorts of wick*>.1
nr>fu flmv would sfpid and commit mur
| V V* wvvv?? ..
der, but their cowardice is so great that they
keep themselves constantly in the back ground.
They desire to be safe rather than right.
Expediency is the motive which prompts
others to act, or deters them from acting. No
matter whether an act be right or wrong in itself,
this class of the human family will not
perform it unless it can be viewed by them as
expedient. If, however, it can be shown that
an act is in accordance with worldly policy,
they will perform it, no matter whether it be
right or wrong.
There is another class which cannot be induced
to do what it regards as unpopular.
Those who constitute this class of the human
family will do or suffer anything provided it
will secure for them popular applause. They
are ready to climb mountains, to cross broad
seas, or even to die, provided their acts will receive
the commendation of the multitude.
None of these three classes of men can be safely
depended upon. Only the man who does |
what lie regards as right and refrains from
doing what he regards as wrong, can be safely
trusted.
~ [Original.J
SAD.
It is manifest tliat a large number of the
human family enjoy but few of the comforts
of this world. They are poor. They were
born amid scenes of squalid poverty, and surrounded
by poverty they spend all their days.
There is something sad in this. It is painful
to see human beings drag out an existence under
such circumstances. But sad as is the
present life of many of the human family,
their prospect for another world is even more
so. They have no fear of God before their
eyes. God's word is by them despised, and his
holy name profaned. They have no home here
and no inheritance beyond the tomb. The
present is cheerless aud the future is dark and
gloomy. They have no friend who will accompany
them beyond the confines of this
dreary world. In their folly they reject the
offers of mercy nmdeditfm by God, and they
are literally without God and without hope.

One petition contained in the Isold's Prayer
is: "Lead us not into temptation." It is the
duty as well as the privilege of all to offer up
this petition to God ; but it is glaringly inconsistent
in us to ask God to keep us from being
tempted, while we make no effort to avoid the
paths of the tempter. It seems to be little less
than solemn mockery to ask God to give us
what we do not desire, and do not labor to obtain.
It is both foolish and wicked to ask
(rod to keep us from being tempted to sin, so
long as we walk in the counsel of the ungodly,
or stand in the way of the sinner, or sit in the
seat of the scornful. It we would avoid being
burned, we must keep out of the fire.
A Bible, with all its predestination and
election omitted, would be a curiosity?revealing
a deity without plans, purpose, foreordination,
a free-will Bible only. Methinks the
bona fide Scriptures are best and should satisfy
every one. One would as easily think of a
man without plans as of a God without predestination.
