It was not u promising field. The pride of worldly wisdom doe< not readily bow to the humbling claim* of Jesus, nor often perceive that it ha* need of any divine Saviour. Beside" this he may have been threatened with persecution aa the iutroducer of new good*, an offenct* for which Koeralc* was condemned and put to death.

He drove Paul's trousers out of the court. The result was that the (jentile popular* took courage to show their hatred to the Jews by an *sult U|*>n their leader. Sostbene# may have been at the head of Paul's accusers. nd no* hi# bitterness and violcnc.- returns upon himself; and tiallio looks on with indifference. He was willing that those who would do injustioe should them selves feel its effect". Thus the assault of the Jews u| ton the Apostle wa* a failure, ibid made u-e of Callio for hi* protection.

This effect an not the nerves, and, when long cont nued, exhausts their susceptibility, the human eye cannot long sus'ain the broad glaic of a white surface without injury.

A Battle with Whnlee About a week ago Mr. Peter War ner, tbe well known contractor, and a veteran fisherman, started out on n lulling excursion inn small host, car' Tying with them a Winchester rifle ami j a shot gun, >n order, pnasihly. to bog some game, ahounding in the lagoon, which extend* some three miles inland from the shore. They hod rowed out I hut a few mile* when two whsles, of the bottle nose speciiw. wore espied a short distance from the boat. Warner immediately gr**|-ed hia rifle, fired, sod, apparently, wounded ona of them. Infuriated the monster lashed tbe water inloafoam, and made a desperate efforts to reach them. After a second and! third shot a vitel spot in ona of them was reached, and only one of them was left to cvmhwt with. They then began firing at the remaining one, but though wounding it several times, it seemed ut terly impossible to seriously disable it. It made the most furious attack upon them, and with diateoded jaws, it seemed at times aa if about to engulf boat and all. Twelve shots were fired into it and atill it continued its onslaughts. It aplaabcd and foamed, spreading heavy spray* in all directions. and nothing but the most sklllfiil manage ment kept the boat at the safe distances from ita fury. Now and then It would plunge under the water, endevoring to get under the boot and send it away skyward hut the steady "old salt" man aged each time to whirl the boat be yond iU reach. The situation wa growing serious, aa the cartridges in tbe rifle were exausted and it seemed well nigh impossible to reload while the mooater was making such furions at lacks. While attempting it a sudden onslaught mad# to necessary to use tbe shotgun, and Mr. Warner fired hastily, discharging both londs right into its face. It war a most fortunate shot, as It look effect in tha eyes of the whale, and must have totally blooded It. Tha pain served to increase Its ferocity, but it* efforts were now futile, nnd It was an e i-y matter to row to a safe distance when the rifle was re-loaded and the monster killed at leisure. Tbe two whales were then towed ashore, and quite a largo quantity of oil has been fried out.— Ijbt AngtUi (Ctl)timm.
