"John, do you remember coming home last night and asking me to throw you an assorted lot of keyholes out of the window, so that you might find one large and steady enough to get your latchkey in ?" "Yes dear." "And you remember the night before how you asked me to come down and hold the stone steps still enough for vou to step on ?? "Yes, dear." "And the night before that how you tried to jump into the bed as it passed your corner of the room ?" Yes, dear." "And still another night when you carefully explained to me that no man was intoxicated as long as he could lie down without holding on, and then attempted to go to bed on a perpendicular wall ?" "Yes, dear." "John, do you realize that you have come home sober but two nights in the past weeK r" "Have I, dear ?" "That's all; and you ought to be ashamed of yourself, too.

Hall, in the Grand Army Sentinel, and a guard had been detailed so protect the property of the citizens in the neighborhood and strict orders given against foraging or taking anything without paying for it. The colonel of one of the regiments was out one day with his staff and all of a sudden he came upon a private of his regiment with a sheep on his back, evidently just killed. He rode up to the soldier and asked him : "Where did you get that sheen?" He answered : "Up here in the field." "Did you buy him ?" "No, sir; I just killed him, so." "Why, don't you know that strict orders have been issued against doing anything like that?" "Yes, sir, I know it, and will tell you how it was. I was going along the road, whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner,' and this sheep held up his head and looked straight at me and said 'ba-a, ba-a,' and, sir, I up and killed him, as I won't allow anything to say 'ba-a' at me when I'm singing' or whistling the 'Star Spangled Banner.'" It is needless to say the colonel told him to go ahead. The fellow's wit saved him that time. Expected Her to Help Some.?Silas is a country character, who means well. He tries to earn a living, and "tinkers around" at odd jobs and chores and whatever he can get to do; but he works a good deal as he talks, with a painful drawl that is very suggestive of that state of natural restfulness which his ilk call "born tired." Silas came to mend a fence the other day for one of his patrons in the surburban village where he belongs with a peculiar air of festivity about him. He had on a bright new necktie of blue Japanese silk, and his honest face was covered by an expansive grin all the time that he was receiving his orders. "You seem happy, Silas," said Mr. Blank, v/ith some curiosity, when he had finished about the fence. "Ya-as," drawled Silas. "Ya-as, I've been a gittin' married this mornin'." "Married? You? Why, Silas, man alive, what on earth have you gone and done that for? Y'ou can't support yourself as it is!" "Wull," said Silas, "I ken pootynear support myself, 'n' I think its a durn pity if she can't help some."?Boston Record.

I s The trial of Hugh M. Brooks, alias Max- ? well, for the murder of Air. Preller began < in the criminal court at St. Louis on the 10th -s instant. At this writing the theory of the 1 defence has not been developed, but it is 1 believed that it will be, first, a general de- j nial of all allegations; second, an attempt to I break down the State's case by cross-exam-j ' ination; third, a reliance upon the theory i 1 of a "reasonable" aouot; lourtn, 10 commit i the evidence as to the identity of the body j found in the trunk in the Southern Hotel; j fifth to muddle and mystify the jury so that i 1 a conscientious man cannot decide what to j * do with the case. The circuit attorney says 1 he will be able to proye beyond all doubt 1 j that the body was that of Preller. The volatile Maxwell is as cheerful as * ever, but he will not converse about his 1 j case beyond expressing a firm belief that ( he will be acquitted. - ' On January 19, 188o, Hugh M. Brooks, a j young solicitor of Stockport, Cheshire, EngI land, decamped from his home, taking with . him sundry borrowed articles, among which was a stereopticon belonging to Mr. Side- ! botham. On February 3 Brooks was a pas- j senger on the steamer Cephalonia, bound foi America, having embarked at Liverpool, j On the steamer he met C. Arthur Preller, a traveling salesman for the firm of J. B. Dixon & Co., Bradford, who was coming to the Ignited States in the interest of his em- ' ployers. Preller was testhetic in his tastes, a lover of music, deeply imbued with religious feeling, and in a sm'all way a reformer of depraved human nature. The acquaintance thus accidently formed on board ship Maxwell cultivated assiduously, and when ' the pair landed in New York, on February 21, they were intimate friends. Brooks represented himself to Preller as a physician, aud gave his name as W. H. Lennox Maxwell. From New York they went to Boston, where they were for some time j together. It was at this time that Maxwell j began looking for a dead body and flirting with the young ladies in Mrs. Cook's board- , ing-house on Washington street. j Business called Preller to Philadelphia, but the young men corresponded every day. j Maxwell always addressed Preller as "My ( dear Arthur," and gave him the history of 1 each day. He talked learnedly of the cases he was treating, discoursed philosophically j on the violation of nature's laws, and thought a trip to Australia would about suit him. At this time he was in sore need of J funds. He wanted to dispose of his bicycle j mtinh and HIP "stprpontiron WAS fOT * v* J >"VIV1I) W??v? V..v< ~ ! sale at a low figure. In the latter part of | March he left Boston and went to New ( York, and from that city he went to St. , Louis, arriving on March .'11, and register- ' ing at the Southern Hotel. Preller had meanwhile made a business ( tour, visiting New York, Philadelphia, ; Baltimure, Buffalo and Toronto. While J stopping at the Gossin House in Toronto he became acquainted with a photographic artist named Frazer. The latter took particular notice of Preller, and is one of the , witnesses on whom the State will rely to prove that the body in the trunk and the man he met in the hotel at Toronto are the same person. Preller was next heard of in Cincinnati and on April 3 he in St. Louis, registered at the Southern Hotel, and was assigned to a room. Maxwell was waiting for him and the pair were together until separated by the murder. Maxwell's baggage, when it arrived, con- < sisted of a heavy zinc trunk, a canvas-cov- j ered truuk and a couple of hand satchels. Preller had several sample trunks and valises. They played billiards together, frequented each other's rooms, and appeared unusually friendly. On Sunday, April i 5, Maxwell purchased chloroform on a prescription written by himself. On Monday morning he bought a new trunk at j Bieger's trunk store. The same day he ] bought a field glass at Aloe's, a hat at Hart ] A Duff's, and a ticket to San Francisco I made out in the name of H. M. Brooks. ] He also spent considerable money in other 1 ways. That night he took his canvas-cov- < ered trunk, a hat box and a satchel and 1 left the hotel, saying that his friend Prel- 1 ler was out in the country and he would < be back in a few days. i On Tuesday, April 14, the odor in room - 1 1 i x? ? i! rni I 144 caused an investigation, uiere were two trunks in the room, the zinc-covered i trunk and the one purchased from Bieger. * The St. Louis trunk was on top of the other, i When the zinc-covered trunk was opened a ' dead body, dressed only in a pair of draw- i ers, was found in it, with the notice, <'So ] perish all traitors to the great cause," at- ] tachedtoit. < Immediately inquiry was made for W. 1 H. Lennox Maxwell, the man who had oc- * cupied the room. 1 le was traced to the San ' Francisco depot all across the continent. ' During his journey across the plains he had ; gone by the names of Percy Head Tewfik and J. C. I). Auquer, under which name he 1 registered at the Palace Hotel on April 11. ! j The next day he bought a steerage ticket 1 I for Auckland, on the steamer City of Sidney, ' and on April 21, Chief Ilarrigan sent a ca ble-gram to Consul Cable, at Auckland, or- ' dering the arrest of Maxwell for murder. ( Thesteamer arrived on Mayo, and Maxwell was arrested and committed totheAuck- L land jail. On April 2-3 the extradition pa- | pers were made out, and on June(> Detectives Tracy and Badger left for Auckland ' with the extradition papers. The prisoner ' was turned over to tliera, and on the 21st of July they sailed for home on the Zehmdia, arriving in San Francisco on August 10 and j in St. Louis on August 1G. The other end of the case had been mean- ( I while worked up. Preller did not return | ! from the country. It was found that the . drawers on the body were marked II. M. j | Brooks, and that a black mustache had re- ^ cently been cut off. Photographs of the face were taken and sent to Preller's friends. , It was found that the left hand of the body J had a scar which tallied with one that Prel- j ler had received but a short time before in a New York barber shop. Then came the photographer Frazer, who positively identi- , tied the body as that of Preller. Among Maxwell's effects was a small j j buckskin bag, which is supposed to have be- j longed to Preller, and the strings of which t were cut. Among the things he took with , him, and which were found in Auckland, . was an undershirt which had been cut from s a body, and a lot of Preller's cuffs and col- j lars. s Such are the main points in the remark- , able case. The State will try to show that t Preller was murdered by Maxwell, and that f the motive was robbery. Wasiiixu tiie Face.?There are some , who object to washing the face often, es- j pecially with soap, thinking this an injury r to the complexion. But those who have ? made a specialty of skin diseases say no part ( of the body needs soap so much; that the f face, being constantly exposed to the dust, } collects so much, it is not enough to wash it ^ in clear water. They say if soap makes the ^ face shiny, as so many claim, it only shows j that it is the more needed, and that the f work of drying after the bath has not been ( properly performed. The fTiee however, should not be wet immediately before or after going out. Its most thorough ablution r I should be performed at at night, before go- j * ng to bed, and the following method should g )e observed in the process: Fill a basin with | : soft, warm water, lather a medium-sized | sponge with good soap, and wash the face j :arefully. Then take fresh water, without j : soap, and wash again with the hands, and i ub thoroughly with a Turkish or crash | owel until the face is dry and tingling, rhis will do much toward improving and t ^reserving the complexion : and the little r vexatious black spots, called "flesh worms" a ivill usually disappear after a time, if it is t lersevered in. e Embalmed by tiie SoiL.--Human bodies i juried in limestone countries are often ,] ;urned to solid stone by the lime-water r vhich penetrates the graves.

Louis Saying*. A Touching War Event.?A pathetic incident of the war has been recalled that ' baffles fiction. This is the touching story : Miss Annie Pickens, daughter of the Governor of South Carolina, was to be mar- 1 ried April 23, 18G3, in Charleston to Lieu- ' tenant Andrew Re Rochelle. The wedding 1 party assembled at the Pickens residence, and the clergyman was asking the bride if ' she was ready, when a shell from a Union < gun in the harbor broke into the room and ? burst. Nine persons were hurt, but only Miss Pickens' wound proved fatal. She bore 1 the pain with wonderful fortitude, and was < unmoved when informed that she had only 1 an hour to live. De Rochelle said that he : would like to have her die his wife, and ' the poor girl smiled sadly in assent. The i guests remember the scene as far more * pitiful than can be described. The bride 1 lay on a sofa, her white dress dabbled in I blood and her long hair dishevelled, while ' her palid lace was so wrung with agony 1 that her efforts to smile became futile. The * ceremony was hurriedly performed, though 1 the bride's "Yes" was in faint and labored ' whisper, and her lips hardly moved in re- > sponse to her husband's kiss. She died s immediately afterward. 1 . t How Glass Eyes Wear Out.?The most perfect eyes lire made in Thringia, CJermany, and have a more natural appearance than any others. The iris is covered with silver and the blood vessels with gold, ind, when properly inserted, they will move almost as readily as their natural companion. Of course much depends upon the condition of the socket and the state of the muscles, as left by the surgeon. "Ourgreatsst trouble is the matching of the eyes. You see, eyes wear out, their life being about a year or a little over, though occasionally I see one that has lasted a much longer time. The salt and alkaline solutions of the tear Jucts, however, have quite an effect on the surface of the glass, and in the course of time roughen it, so that a new eye is absolutely necessary. Here's one, for instance; you can see how very rough its surface is, md how its colors are dimmed to a considerable extent."

ROBERT LATH AN. | [Original.] 1 CHRIST AFTER HIS RESI'RREOTIOX. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is imporant, from the fact that without it the atonenent made by his death is incomplete. In iddition to its importance it is a subject of j hrilling interest. It will betaken for grantid that Jesus Christ actually died on the 1 toss. So far as is remembered, this state-1 nent has never been questioned, by either I few or Gentile. The Jews deny that he ose again from the dead, but the historical ividence for his resurrection is as strong as s that for his crucifixion. The two facts are nseparably connected. To deny the one is virtually to deny the other. Assuming that Jhrist died, and was buried, and rose from he dead, a number of interesting questions pring up in connection with his resurrecion and his subsequent history, prior to his iscension. 1st. Who were the first to learn that the Saviour had risen? All four of the evangelists state that the first individuals who liscovered that the Saviour was no longer n the tomb were women. Matthew states hat "Mary Magdalene and the other Mary :ame to see thesepulchre," and learned that le was not in it. Mark mentions Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James md Salome." Luke states that the first visitors to the empty tomb of the Saviour vere Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary, the nother of James, and others with them." lohn mentions only Mary Magdalene. It s a remarkable fact that no two of the evangelists agree in every particular in stating he women who first visited the tomb. Matthew mentions only the two Marys. Mark adds Salome. Luke does not mention Salome, but adds Joanna and other Women, hat were with them, while John mentions >nly Mary Magdalene. They all mention Mary Magdalene, ai d when others are menioned, her name is always first. There is really no discrepancy between ;he statements of the evangelists. Matthew loes not say that only the two Marys were here, and Mark does not say that there were 10 others besides those he mentions, and John does not say that only Mary Magdaen went to the tomb. Luke's statement is ;he most comprehensive, but how many ,vere included in those mentioned as the ither women, cannot be ascertained. We <now that the first persons who visited the ;omb of our Saviour after his resurrection vere Mary Magdalene; Mary, the mother of lames; Salome, the mother of John ; Joanla, the wife of C'husa, and other women, iut how many others we do not know. There is something very remarkable in the 'act that John mentions no one except Mary Magdalene, and the other three evangelists ill mention her name first. Out of Mary Magdalene our Saviour cast seven devils, md during the life of our Saviour we find ler administering to his bodily comforts, she and Mary, the mother of .loses, went with Joseph and Nicodemus to the sepulchre, and they alone, so far as we know, except Joseph and Nicodemus, beheld where tie was laid. Evidently Mary Magdalene was the leader of the band of women who osited the tomb on the morning after the resurrection. This is one reason why John only mentions her, and why the other evangelists mention her name first. 2nd. The next inquiry which is suggested by reading the history of the resurrection of )ur Saviour, as contained in the gospels, is it what hour did the women reach the tomb. Matthew states that it was when "it began to dawn." Mark says it was "very early in :he morning." Luke says it was "very eariy in the morning," and John says it "was yet dark;" So far, it is evident that the evangelists, without using the very same language, express the very same fact, ind that fact is that the women reached :he tomb between the first dawn of day and :he rising of the sun. Apparently, Mark seems to contradict this. lie states that it | was at the rising of the sun. This is only in apparent contradiction of what he said >vhen he states that it was "very early in the norning." The sun begins to rise at midlight, and visibly to rise when the first streak of light is seen in the heavens. The women were evidently at the tomb before lie sun was to be seen. This fixes, not defi litely but with some degree of accuracy, the ime that our Saviour rose. It was some ;ime after sundown which closed the Sablath and began the first day of the week ind sunrise of the first day of the week. According to our mode of naming the lays of the week, our Saviour died about ,hree o'clock on Friday. The Jewish day legan and ended with the setting of the sun. Such being the case our Saviour was mder the power of death some three hours luring Friday. This, in law, was one day. lie remained in the state of the dead all day I Saturday, which was the Jewish Sabbath, j This made two days. lie rose from the I lead about three o'clock in the morning, i This made three days that he was dead, j Evidently he rose before the women left the nty to go to the tomb. At the moment of I lis resurrection an earthquake occurred, j This rolled away the great stone from the j jrave and it shook the dead out of the j jraves which were opened when our Sav-1 our died. The Roman guard which stood ' iround the tomb became as dead men, and j ,ve may suppose fled to the city to reportj he fact to the officer in command. After sundown on the Jewish Sabbath, ! ,vhieh answers to our Saturday, the women j >f CJallilee, led by Mary Magdalene, went; )ut into the city and bought sweet spices j vitli which to anoint the body of Jesus. | kVe may well suppose that after the spices! vere bought and prepared, these noble wo-; lien spent the remainder of the night in j jreat mental anxiety. Probably they spent i he night in sleepless solicitude. When it j vas yet dark, before the first streak of light lashed across the heavens on that memora-; >le morning, there was a great earthquake.! :t Is probable that this earthquake occurred j >efore the women left the city, or wherever j hey spent the Sabbath. Jerusalem must | mve been in a state ot great agitation, j "rom twelve o'clock to three of the day that! mr Saviour hung on the cross there was i larkness over the whole land. This is tated by Matthew, Mark and Luke in neary the same words, Luke adding that thej un was darkened. This could not have j teen caused by an eclipse of the sun, because ! he pnssover was always observed at the inie of the full moon, and no eclipse of the ! un could take place at that time. At the, it nth hour Jesus died. At that moment he vail or curtain which separated the holy rom the most holy place was rent or torn rom the top to the bottom, the earth quaked, he rocks rent, and the graves were opened. I ?hese events were enough to till the stoutest, learts with consternation. It did frighten! ho lloman centurion, and he said, whether inderstandingly or not, we need not inquire, 'Truly this was the Son of God." It was lecause Jesus claimed to be divine that the ewsso bitterly opposed him. Had he laid 10 claim to divinity, he would not have ecu despised and rejected by the Jews. j 'lie disciples of our Saviour always speak f him as the Son of God. The centurion, ' o doubt, knew this, and he also knew that lie Jews cried out "crucify him," becausej; e assorted his divinity. This accounts for i the centurion's saying when Jesus died that1 truly, beyond all controversy, this man wax the Son of God. Any one of these occurrences was in itself sufficient to have produced an indescribable feeling in all those j who witnessed it. Jesus died amid the convulsions of nature, and when he rose from the grave another earthquake occurred, or there was a shaking of the earth which rolled away the large stone from the mouth of the sepulchre in which lay the body of! Jesus. After his resurrection, our Saviour first! presented himself to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. Afterwards during the forty days which elapsed between his resurrection and his ascension, he showed himself to his disciples on nine U1 UClCli t ULLclOlUUD* lixa ftl^CliaiUli nc was seen by Stephen and Paul. It is a remarkable fact that our Saviour, after his resurrection, never, so far as is recorded, presented himself to any one of his enemies, and only to those who had been his most intimate friends during his lifetime. Looking at this matter from a human standpoint, this seems strange. Judging after the manner of men, we would have expected our Saviour to have gone up from his tomb into the city of Jerusalem, and presented himseif to those who had cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him." This he did not do. So far as is recorded, none of the blood-thirsty Jews or Roman officers saw him. The women of Gallilee saw him, Peter saw him, unbelievingThomas saw him, on a mountain of Gallilee the eleven disciples saw him, James saw him and at one time five hundred brethren saw him, but not a single enemy of his ever was permitted to set his eyes on his resurrected body. This is certainly a curious fact, but it is notdifticult to be explained. When our Saviour exclaimed on the cross, "It is finished," the work which the Father had given him to do, and the work which he had undertaken to do on earth, was finished. All his sufferings were at an end, the Church was redeemed, and the honor and dignity of God's law vindicated. While he lay in the grave there was a kind of passive suffering?this and nothing more. The penalties of the law were exhausted and a righteousness provided, by which God could be just and the justifier of all who will believe. The resurrection of Christ demonstrated to the senses of his people that his death accomplished that for which he died. The other part of the mediatorial work of the Saviour is the making of an intercession for his people. This, however, is not done on earth, but in Heaven, at the right hand of God. on high. Christ did not present him self after his resurrection to unbelievers, but to believers, because he had finished the work which he had undertaken to do on the earth. He had offered himself to sinners. Some accepted ai.d some rejected. To those who accepted, or to a sufficient number of them, he showed himself that they might be witnesses to all men that he had accomplished the work which he had undertaken. From his death on the cross to the end of time, the offer of salvation is to be made, not by the Saviour himself, but by those whom he has called to preach the gospel to every creature. Did You Speak to Him??You had the chance, perhaps such as will never come within reach of your influence again. Ah! how many previous opportunities slip through our fingers? The other day Mr. Spurgeon went to preach at a prominent chapel, arfd after taking tea at the deacon's house, walked down to the chapel, under the guidance of a son of the household. "Do you love my Master?" was the question which, in his clear, manly way, the preacher put to his young friend. Before replying, he stopped in the street, and looking his questioner straight in the face, said, "Mr. Spurgeon, I have walked down to this chapel with ministers for several years, and not one of them ever asked me that question before." The faithful word was the beginning of new light; and seeking God, he found pardon and peace through Christ. Sincere reader, if you be a follower of the Lord, ask yourself the question, Have I done my duty in this respect ?" Or are you letting the opportunities you have from day to day slip through your fingers ?? The Watchman. Tiie Aug ust Presence.?Do not say that I must not go into that august presence without a turbid, excited heart?with feelings all in disorder. You may and must. Abraham did, his heart tossed with wild suspicions of God. Suppose he had waited till he saw things in their right light before he prayed! Christ in unrest?rare to him? when his soul was troubled unto death, took this very means of calming it; left disciples and all that was human and turned to prayer.?Robertson. A celebrated artist once made a curious shield, into the fabric of which his own name was so ingeniously wrought that it could not be removed without destroying the shield. In like manner is our adorable Lord and Saviour so interwoven with the texture of the whole Bible, that any atrempt to obliterate his divine image destroys the sacred book itself. 4- - flgg- All nations, even Christian, as well as heathen nations, in their international intercourse boldly reject the "Golden Rule."? The height of their boasted magnanimity and honesty is "Ask nothing unjust, and submit to nothing wrong," which, in plain words, means "We shall do no better than we are done to." fay We know that the ways of the Spirit of God are mysterious, and we bow before the truth of his sovereignty; but if the day | of Pentecost teaches anything, it is that a 1 time of prayer and submissive waiting up-1 on God will bring large blessings upon the j Church. fay While all Christian moralists, and men i of good sense, reiuiiiyenuor.se me sennmeni j that "it is better to sufTer wrong than to do wrong," all nations disregard that true principle, which if practiced would prevent all wars, offensive and defensive. ? 4- + - * ? It is habitual thought that frames itself into our life. It affects us more than I our intimate social relations do. Our confidential friends have not so much to do in shaping our lives as thoughts have which j we harbor. jfeiT The fact is, that in order to do any- j thing in this world worth doing, we must ^ not stand shivering ou the bank and think-1 ingof the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can. + flraT The divinest attribute in the heart of i God is love, and the mightiest, because the: most human principle in the heart of man is faith. Love is heaven ; faith is that which appropriates heaven. - J0>3r A tree will not only lie as it falls", but it will fall as it leans. And the great question everyone should bringhometo himself -?
