Ire has no hope of being made happier by taking the - name of GO in vain. lie seems Too better to those around him. It puts no money in MS' pcicket. It does not aid him is proaecutine his life work—he can bo just as active and efficient without swear ing. It does not adorn hi; character.- It is no mark of Wisdom or wit: -A fool Can swear. • Thus, without provocation, oue of the most important divine commandments is violated, and profane mkt theritselves-ac knoWledge as Much. If this be not un reasonable and foolish then nothing can be.

The inmates of the house were all in the rooms ort the first door. .In a brief moment after the partieetkent upstairs, they heard two or three pistol shots fired, followed instantly. by the appearance of Palmer without his hat, one side of his face streaming with blood, and exclaiming as ho parted through the front door, -I've abet Ste yens!" A 'few minutes later he was seen riding out'rot the village with the girl be ' side 'bins in the .carriage.
