The Prophet Zeracefcaboani.
The first Chapter of "Benjamin the
Tiilmanite" and "John the Sheppard,"
Qfcpeared a few weeks ago. Below are
two more chapters by the same writer.
They would have been better reading in
August than in September, but do
doubt many of our readers will stiii be
amused by them :
chapter ii.
1. Now it came to pass that there
Were certain of the congregation of the
Tiilmanites who deserted the traditions
of the fathers and followed after strange
gods, and did worship Benjamin as
though he were some brazen image.
2 Being blinded by their wrath they
Stood up against Z.4racchaboam the
Prophet, and did speak despitefuily of
him, saying this man is a false prophet
and speaketh not the words of truth
&ud soberness.
3. But the prophet was unmoved
thereat, for ho knew that long aforotime
It was written "a prophet is not without
honor sr.ve io his own country and
among his own people."
4. Now Benjamin did farther harden
his heart among the people, aMrtougbt
to make the poor do grievous and heavy
ktbor upon the highways of the land,
while the rich could give of his abun
dance a few pence and go his way.
5. And is the subtlety of his heart j
be sought to deprive those who were un>
learned and of little substance from lift- !
ing up their voices in the choice of the
rulers of the land, reasoning with him
self "if I can but put the people under
subjection, I shali rule forever."
6. Being himself possessed of a
goodly heritage, he sought to make the
poor tiller of the soil but as the ser
vants of those who had great posses
sions.
7. Now in the second year of the
reign of this Benjamin, the Tiilmanite,
when the camp of the Sheppardites was
pitched over against him, there was
. sore division among the people, and the
father was found to fight against the
son, and brother against brother, this
discord and division among the people
having been brought about by the de
ceitful practices of Benjamin, who
loved rule far more than the good of his
brethren.
8. But seeing how great was the
camp of the Sheppardites, he waxed
exceeding wroth and swore amasiogly ; |
even in the presence of the priests of
the people did he open his mouth in
blasphemies. And his followers were j
gathered unto him and he went to and !
fro among the people, exclaiming ve
hemently, "Lo, I am a whale !"
9. But those that heard this saying
reasoned among themselves, saying :
*Why calleth he himself a whale ? A
whale is mighty among living creatures
and can in no wise be tamed to the wiM
of men, while this man hath been taken
upon the little hook of the carriers of
travelers, baited with & free pass lie
seemeth unto us to be but a small ?sh." !
10. Others said : "fie is the might- j
iest among men and the greatest of j
magicians, who can change oxen into
bones and cause ?o!d to ?row ur.on the
trees of the forest." Yet others more
wisely said : "he is neither Moses or
Elias, nor yet that prophet, but simply
Benjamin the Ti?lmacite, who desireth j
further rule in which to deceive the j
people and waste their treasure and sell
more herds unto the State to bis own !
profit."
11. And Hugh, the Captain of the
Hosts, and John, the Senator, -were !
sorely troubled in mind and quaked ex- j
ceedingly, and did run about from place j
to place in the land, and found no time I
to attend to the business with which !
they had been instructed by the people, j
12. And Hugh, the Captain of the
Hosts, though a man mighty ia battle,
did flee before the face of the tax-gath
erer as though he were more terrible
than an army wi:h banners, and could
not be found ; yet he did seek with
Benjamin to lay greater taxes on his
brethren, while, he rendered not his
own.
13 And going in and out among the
people he did greatly belittle himself,
until he became a jest and a by-word
throughout all the land, telling unseem
ly stories and making pretense that the
beasts of the field could reason together
and talk among themselves.
14. And there came one John, of
curly locks, who was made law-give-:
to the people, the same Joan having
seized upon Benjamin's nether garment
after he had begun :o rule over the land.
15. Now Benjamin was mindful to
put him away priviiy, but J an did so
hardly cling to his hindmost garment
that he couid in no way loose his hold
except he made him law-giver to the
people.
16. But when tbh John had come
unto his oSice, he greatly pleased Benja
min, his master, inasmuch that he was
so skilled in his reading of rhe bc<>k of
the law that he found that Benjamin
could not err, but pretended to find a
law so justify all his doings, whether the
same were right or wrong
17. But this John was of timorous
nature, and when he beheld the great
ness of the camp of the Sheppardites be
quaked even more exceedingly than
John the Senator and Hugh thcOaptain
of the Hosts, and loosing his hold on.
Benjamin's hinder garment he straight
way forsook hi;:: and fied again to his
own county.
1 18. And while Benjamin sought
daily opportunity to sot the people one
against the other, the re arose one Law
reooe, surnamed Youmans, who dis
puted against him and showed unto tin
people how greivously their faiso ruler
had deceived them.
10. Now wuen they had ali gathered
together at a place called King's Tree,
Lawrence did rise up against Benjamin
and smote him sore ; and when the im
putation had lasted from morning even
unto the going down of the sun, Ben
jamin was carried away even as it were
with a flood of many waters and i! d
with great haste hack into his own
camp, and could not again be persuaded
under any pretense to battle against this
adversary.
cuaptkr iii.
1. Now when the hosts were camp- \
over against each other for battle, it w sa
determined to make a cumbering of the
people.
2. And Samuel, the Sheppardite, did
go in and out among the tents f the
Sheppardites, and numbered the a?cn of
war, and it- was found ... U :
assembled for buttle two j u*e m I EtV)
thousand faithful and true men.
3. And Bdttjaroin did appoi t John,
the Senator. ' > inske a numbering of
upon his labor he was exceeding wroth
at (he sihaUness thereof; and sending
the captain? of tecs and the captains of
Stties oat into the byways and hedges
they compelled ali of the timorous to
come into the camp of the Tillmanites ;
and when he had found the number
thereof it was two scare thousand.
4. But when he .had come unto
Benjamin, his m?sten, he made uro ten se
that his hosts were, nnmberfess as the
sands on tho sea "shore, and that the
number of the Sheppardites was but one
score and fifteen thousand meo.
5. In this he dissesibicd in his speak
ing, and knew in his heart that he
spoke cot the words of truth, for the
camp of the Sheppardites far exceeded
his own.
6. Now. while those things were done
the word came unto Zeracchaboam the
prophet, saying : Prophesy ! How read
est thou the signs of the times ?
7. Accordingly he opened his mouth
from tbe midst of the camp of the Shep
pardites, and said : Why doth Banjamio
rage and the Xilh&anitcs imagine vain
things ?.
S. The sword of the Sheppardites is
upon them and shall overthrow -them
utterly, so that they shall vanish from
tho land.
9. The wrath of the people is kindlod
against the false rulers who have de
ceived them so basely and even now the
phials of their wrxth are ready to be
poured out upon them.
10. An d thou, John the Senator,
though thou art falsely exalted, thou
shait be brought low. Forasmuch as
occe thou hast been a fugitive and a
vagabond in the land, thou shah be
again as one.
* f 1
11. 0' Benjamine the Till man t te ! i
the wrath of the people is heavy against
thee. Gird up thyself and take again
thy staff in thy baud, and prepare thee
withal scrips for thy purse, so thou may
est, render just measure unto the carrier j
of travelers.
12. For verily thou shalt turn thy
face again to the land of thy fathers, J
and become again as thy brethren, a
t?lier of the soil.
13. Thou hast been made ruler over
mueb, but thy face hast been turned
away from justice. Thou hast wickedly
spoken agaiust the judges of the people
because they declared not the law ac
cording to thy desires.
14. Thou has wasted the treasure of
ihe people and rendered not in due sea
son thy tithes to the tax gatherer, and j
hast wickedly sold thy herds unto the
State whereby thou hast unjustly made
profit of many shekcis.
15. Because of thy evii doings strife
is abroad in the land, and father .is
divided against son, and brother against
brother. 0, unjust ruier ! thou shale
be cast into utter darkness, where with
them which clung to thy garments, j
there shall be wailing and gnashing of j
teeth.
16. Inasmnch as thou hast delighted j
in curisng, let thy curses return and be I
visited upon thee, thou unprofitable ser- ;
vaut !
17. And thou, Hugh, the Captain of :
the Hosts, thy trumpet shall no longer
call unto the battle. Thou shall See j
witL: exceeding great haste from before ;
tho face of the Sheppardites even as .
thou hast before the tax gatherer ; and j
from afar shalt thou hear the thunder of j
the captains, and the shouting.
13. And when the Sheppardites shall ;
have conquered all things, Juhn the
Sheppard sh*ii rule in the room of Ben
jamin, and then shall the land be {filed j
with peace, and. unity shall prevail
among ail the people.
19. Then shall the people call Janes {
to sit upon the right .hand of John the
Sheppard, and Lawrence who is sur
names Ye-umaus shall be chief scribe to
the people. j
20. These G, people: are the words i
of Zerachabonrn the prophet, aud this j
sign will I give unto you that ye may j
know when all of these things have i
come to pass.
20. When John the Sheppard, and j
they that are with him shall have begun j
to rule in the land, there will be heard I
a voice of weeping, and lamentation,
and great mourning : the Tillmanites
weeping for their offices and refusing to
be comforted becanse they are not.
The Acute Senses of tho
Blind.
' People in general have a comfortable
impression that, while blindness 1*3 a
great misfortune, those alilicted with it
have the reft of their senees so acute
from birth that the loss is almost made J
up to them This is a mistake, for not j
more '** an five per cent, are born blind, j
and even that percentage is probably j
too large, 1- there are several diseases
of ihe eye which may destroy the sight j
within the first month. It is true,
however, that the other senses develop I
highly with practice. When ail is dark
around us it is usually also quiet, and !
our perceptions are slackened ; but if.
anyone v. iV, tie a thick handle over bis j
eyes: daring the day, when life and i
movement are going i>n about him, he j
will soon be conscious of listening with
painful iutentness, and the other senses, t
when called upon, wiii trnicken in their j
rum. Many children with sound eyes i
! shut tbem when studying intently, and j
! the faet tha? a blind boy, for instance, j
is quicker at arithmetic than one wh 1
! can see, does not, in most eases, mean I
: that h y is more gifted, but that he has
I !e.-s to distract bis attention. The first }
j time that an outsider sees a large class !
! of blind ci)ii'iron together lie will per- j
: haps be struck by certain peculiarities !
! of expression, it is not only that the :
: sightless eyes or closed lids give the I
; face a blank look, like a house with the
shades drawn down, but there may be a
dropping of the jaw, <r a wrinkling of :
: the brow, which docs not mean anv
i iacl; of intelligence, but only ?hat a
! human being is f??rev? r deprived of the
; friendly mirror aud moarti >n of other
! eyes (jood teachers are always en the
; alert to correct these involuntary facial
I tricks The studies and exercises are
' carefully adapted to the needs of tho
I pupils. Gymnastics have au important
1 place, because uhysicai health t?d <;'ia
i b-e muscular ievel?>pnient are especially
; necessary to the blind, whose alibction,
i when not caused by accident, is ofteu

the work-r<gO!us of thn [nsti'wTior] elften
fr.ir fuH - hare f ^ b day. Tlie ttoya
are :*uffcft f^ m k rnartra -es, to ca
girls learn to knit and sew by hand
and on machines : they embroider and
make coarse lace, and are also taught
cooking on little gas-stoves. Not long
ago one of them had to go home be
cause her mother was ill, and on her
return she was heard to say, half in
joke and half.in earnest: "It was a
bad day for me when I learnt to cook,
for I was kept at it all the time."
The' Hat which is kept of the occupa
tions followed by pupils after they leave
the school gives somes curious reading.
One of the tuners in Stein way's ware
rooms is a graduate, and another was
for years the organist of Dr. Howard
Crosby's.church. Ad insurance broker,
a prosperous news-vender who owns
three stalls, a horse dealer a tax col
lector, a real-estate agent, a mirist, are
all duly recorded ; but the most aston
ishing entries are those of a lumberman,
a sailor and cook, and a switch-tender.
Once outside the wa?ls of the Institu
tion the pupils find their own level ac
cording to their ability ; but wherever
they may go they always keep a friend
ly reeling, for the teachers who have lit
erally led them forth, so far as may be,
from tho shadow of a great darkness ;
and these in their turn are repaid for
hours of patient drudgery by the knowl
edge that they have helped to turn a
useless creature into a man or woman
for whom there is a place in the world
?From "The Education of the Blind,"
by Mrs. Frederick It. Jones, in the
Seotember Scribner,
The Story of a Handkerchief.
On the ocoasion cf Mr. John B
Cough's funeral at. Hillside, a little
handkerchief was placed over the back
of his chair, the latter being placed at
the head of the cofin. The story of
that handkerchief was told by Mr.
Gongh in an address in Cooper Insti
tute, on the occasion of the fifth anni
versary of the National Temp?rance
Society, in May, 1870. We find it in
the Gough Memorial pamphlet, just
issued by the Society. Mr. Gough
said : "I have in my house a small
handkerchief, not worth three cents to
you, but you could net buy it frcm me.
A woman brought it, and sa'd to my
wife, 'lam very poor; I would give
him a thousand pounds if I had it, but
I brought this. I married -vith the
fairest and brightest p-ospects before
me; but my husband took to drinking
and everything went. The piano-forte
my mother gave me and everything was
sold, until, at last, I found myself in a !
miserable room. My husband lay
drunk in the corner, and my child that
was lying en my knee was restless; I
sang, ."The light of other days has
faded," and wet my handkerchief
through with my tears. 'My hus
band,' said she to my wife, 'met yours.
He spoke a few words and gave a grasp
of the hand, and now, for six years
my husband has been to me all that a
husband can be to a wife, and we are j
getting our household goods together j
again. I have brought your husband |
the very handkerchief I wet- through j
that night with my tears, and I want j
him, wheu he is speaking, to remembed j
that he has wiped away those tears I
from me, I trust in God, forever."
These are the trophies that make men
glad."
Facing a Lion
in one of the side shows connected ?
with the circus was a cage with a sin
gle lion in it. Ou the cage was a pla
card n-adtne: "This beast has killed
ten men. One thousand dollars to any
one who dares enter his cage." A
big 6ign to the same etfoet was huug up
out doors and those who did'nt go in to
see the fat boy and the mcrmade surely
wanted to gaze on the lion. There was
a good crowd in, and the lecture was
about to begiu on the mermaid when a
little old man who was bowlegged and
humpbacked, crowded to the front and j
said:
"Look bore. I want a try for that j
?1,000. Gimme a show at that lion." j
"My friend, do you want to be torn j
into dog meat?" asked the lecturer iu j
reply. "You wouldeu.t live thirty sec- j
omis after entering the cage.
"Is he a^xumidian lion?"
"He is, undone of the most savage
beasti? ever captured."
"Killed ten men, eh?"
"IIb has.,;
"Wall Pd like to tackel him. If he
kills me that'll be 'levoa. I want that
?10,000 mighty bad and I'm willing to
run considerable risk. Gimme a fair
show, will ye?"
"You keep right away from his cage.
No man in liquor should get within ten
feet ofaNumidian liou.
"I haven", drunk a drop of lickerin
ten years!'' indignantly exclaimed the
old man. 'You ain't wiilin' give a man
a show!"
lie backed off, and the lecturer deliv
ered the usual oration on the mermaid,
lie was about to begin on the fat boy
when the Numidian lion uttered a series
of r<>ar?, and everybody's attention was
attracted to the cage. The little old
man had slipped around and opened the
door aud entered. Not ouly that but
had that lion by the tail aud was draw
ing him backward around the cage.
Men shouted and women shrieked, and
the lecturer rushed forward and shriek
eel :
'vian! man! but vou roust be mad!"
"Never fuit belter aatared in my life! "
replied the old man as ho stepp :d to rest.
"Come out oryoull be turn to pieces!"
"! rather gue;s not! There's only
jt.c Numidian critter in her-.; and he don't
sc< m to he on the tear very much. Ue
up, here, you old moss back, aud take
another promenade!*'
Ho was drawing th< b tasl around i
cage again when 'h* lecturer entered it
and said s mething in a low 'voice.
"Make it ten and Pli do it!" re
plied the. eld man in loud tones. " Yon

A Star in the Crown.
A young lady was preparing for
the dance hull. und, standing before
a large mirror, placed a light crown [
ornamented wich silver stars upon lier j
head. While thus standing- a little
fair headed sister climbed into a chair
and put up her tiny finger.'; to examine
this beautiful hcad-eress, and was
accosted thus: "Sister, what ate you
doing? You should not touch that
crown." Said the little one, "i was
looking at that and thinking of some
thing else." "Pray, tell me what
you are thinking about?you, a little
child." "? was remembering that
my Sabbath school teacher said that,
if we save sinners by our influence,
we should win stars to our crown in
heaven ; and when ? saw those stars
in your crown 1 wished I could save
some soul," The sister went to the
dance, but in solcmk meditation ; the
words of the innocent child found a
lodgment in her heart, and she could
not enjoy the association of her
friends. At a* seasonable hour she
left the hall and returned to her home,
and going to her chamber, where her
dear little sister was sleeping, imprin
ted a kiss upon her soft cheek, and
said, "Precious sister, you have won
one star for your crown :" and
kneeling at the bedside, offered a fer
ven prayer to God for mercy.?Chris

"Coming! Coming !"
There wag an old turnpike man on a
quiet county road, whose habit was to
shut his gate at night and take his nap.
One dark, wet midnight, I knocked at
his door, calling "Gate ! gate !"
"Coming," said the voice of the old
man.
Then ? knocked again, and once more
the voice replied, "Coming.r"
This went on for some time, till at
length I grew quite angry, and jumping
off my horse, opened the doo- and de
manded why he cried "Coming" for
twenty minutes, but never came.
"Who's there?" said the old man in
a quiet, sleepy voice, rubbing his eyes,
"What d'ye want, sir ? '* Then awak
ening, "Bless yer, sir, and yer pardon ;
I was asleep. I get so used to hearing
'em knock that I answer 'coming' in my
sleep, and takes no more n cice about
it." . j
So it ?3 with too many hearers of the
gospei, who hear by habit and answer
God by habit, and at length die with
their souls asleep. Awake, 0 sleeper ;
for God "hath appointed a day in which
he will iadge the world in ri^oteonsness
by that Man whom he hath appointed;"
and then your idle answers wiil all be

A few years after she visited a coal

Is the name of a new* Quarterly
Mr.Tuu"-- of Teat meri t that is
rapidly coming to the front as one
of the most useful publications cf
the century. Its object is to re- ;
cord the news cf the world in a
convenient and systematic form,
and present i; to the readers clear
ly, concisely, with everything su
perfluous culled out, every three .
months. To busy people, in a
busy age, "it is a perfect god
send." With this in hand, no one
can have an.y excuse for not al
\vrys being well posted. It does
for you all the labor of compila
tion and study which you have
not time to do yourself, and it is :
the only publication that docs so. .
If any publication ever had a dis
tinct mission to ful?ll, it is surely
this new departure in journalism.
Start it to Your kj fa.
When he comes to be a man he
will have an encyclopaedic history
of his own times, and be able to
talk on any question. It is pure
, ju tone, and unbiased by any pre
judice, political, moral, or religi
ous.

IS ALL IT COSTS.

An Insurance Contract is net a thing of a

such an investment. Cheap insurance is like
a cheap plow or a cheap gin. It will work
