' rta,J'7 pcrpstrators'oudtUeir ytctluU may have gone into the dust, in the last day judgment will be awarded. ' i ?nIalse,"oJs that Aaron Burr breathed into the ear of Blennerhassett, the slanders that Lieutenant General Gage proclaimed about George Washington, the misrepressn tetions In regard to James Monroe; are as fresh in God a book to-day as the lies that were printed last week about our local can Udotes. "And all liars shall have ther part in the lake which Durnoth with Are and brim stone, which is the second deatn." Again, I counsel you as Christian men to set yourselves against the misuse ot money In political campaigns. Of the thousands of Hollars already spent this autumn, how much f the amount do you suppose has be-u prop tirly used You have a right to spend money or the publishing ot political tracts, for the "Btablishment of organizations for the carry ing out of what you oonsbler to De the you have a right to appeal to the reus i, of men by argument and statistics and by fa -ts 1'rtnting and renting of public h ills and po litical meetings cost monoy, but he who puts a bribe Into the hand of a voter or piles weak men with mercenary and "corrupt motives commits a sin against God and the Nation. Bribery Is one of the most appalling sins of this country. God says, "Fire shall eoti turne the tabernacles of bribery." H ;ve nothing to do with such a sin, O Christian man ! Fling It from the ballot box. Han I over to the police the man who attempts to tamper with your vote, and remember that elections that cannot be carried without bribes ought never to be carried at all. Again I ask you as Chriatirn men to set your selves against the dissipations that hoverover the ballot box. Lit me say that no niau can fford to go into political life who Is not a teetotaler. Hot political discussion somehow creates an unnatural thirst, and hundreds of t.ioasands of men have gone down into drunkenness through political life. After an exciting canvass thronh the evening you must "take something." and rising in the morning with less animation than usual yon must "take something," and going off among your eomrti les throu tho forenoon you meet political friends, au l you must take something," and in the afternoon you meet other political frien Is, an I you must "take something," and being night has come something has taken you. There are but few cases where men have b -en able to stand up against the dissipations of polit: al life. Joseph was a politician, but he maintain.) 1 Ms integrity. Daniel was a politician, but he was a teetotaler to the las-. Abraham was a politician, but he was ahvavs c'-i irie terized as the father of tho faithful. Moses was a politician, the grandest of them, hut he honored God more than he did the l'har aohs, and there are hundreds of Christ iau men now in the political parties maiut.Vntu -their integrity, even when thev are obli-ed to stand amid the blasted, lecherous an 1 loathsome crew that sometimes surround the ballot box these Christian men doing the'r political duty aul thou coming baek to tho prayer meetings and Christian circles as pure as when they went out. But that is not the ordinary circumstance that is the txce; tion. How often you see men coming back Trotn the political conflict. an-1 theireyeis glaze 1 and their cheek has an unnatural Rush, nn i they talk louder t bain they usually do, and lit tho least provocation they will bet, ami you say they are convivial, or thev are n -eed-ingly vivacious, or you app'ly some oth'T sweet name to them, but God knows thev nra drunk ! Some of you, a month or six weeks ago, had no more religion than you ought to have, and after the elections are over to cal culate how much religion you have lelt w.il be a sum in vulgar fractions. Oh, the pres sure is tremendous ! How many mightv intellects have gins down under the dissipation of politics! I think of one who came from the west H i was able to stand out against the whole American Senate. God had given him fac ulties enough to govern a kingdom, or to frame a constitution. His voice was terri ble to his country s enemies and a mighty in spiration in the day of National peril. But twenty glasses of strong drink a day were his usual allowance, and he went down into the habits of a confirmed inebriate. Alas for him ! Though a costly monument has been reared over his resting place, tho young men of this country shall not be de nied the awful lesson that the au'en -y by which the world was robbed of one of its mightiest Intellects, and our country of ot e of Its ablest constitutional defenders, was ti.s dissipation of political life. You wantti know who I mean? Young man, ask yot i 'ather when you get home. The adverse tid ? fearful, and I warn you against it. You need not po far off to find the worn out politician. Here he Is, stumbling a'.on ; tue niguway, nis limbs nar.uy aMe to bold him up. Bent over and pale with exhaust- I mg sickness, surly to anybody who aeeosts him. His last decent article of apparel pawned for strong drink. Glad If, when tro ing by a grocery, some low acquaintance in vites him In to take a sip of ale nu t then wiping his lip with his greasy sleeve. Kicked off the steps by men who once wero prou 1 to be his constituents. Manhood ob literated. Lip blistered with a curse. Sears of brutal assault on cheek and brow. Foul mouthed. A crouching, staggering, wheel ing wretch. No friends. No God. No hope. No heaven. That is your wornout politician. Tiiat what some of you will become unless by this morning's warning and the mercy of Go 1 your steps are arrested. Oh, there are no words enough potent, enough portentious, enough consuming, enough damning, to de scribe the horrible drunkenness that has rolled over this land, and that has bent down the necks of some of the mightiest intellects, until they have been compelled to drink out of the trough of bestiality and abomination ! ! I warn young men against political life, un 1 less they are teetotalers and consecrated Christian men. Again, I counsel you that when you go t. the ballot box at the city, or the fcitnte, or tlie National elections, you recognize God and appeal to Him for His blessing. There is a power higher than the ballot box, than the gubernatorial chair, than the presidential White House. It is high time that we put less confidence in political platforms and more confidence in God. See what a weak thing Is human foresight ! How littie our wise men seem to know ! See how, every autumn, thousands of men who are clamber ing up for higher positions are turned uud-r I God upsets them. Every man, every party, every Nation, has a mission to perform. Fail ing to perform It, down he goes. God said to the house of Bourbon, "lie model France and establish equity." House of Bourbon would not do it. Down it went. God said to the house of Stuart, "Make the English people free, God fearing and happy." House of Stuart would not do it. Down it went. God says to the political parties iu this day, "by the principles ot Christianity, remodel, govern, educate, save the people." Failing to do that, down they go, burying in their ruins their disciples an 1 advocates. God can spare all the political intriguers of this day, and can raise up another genera tion who Shall do Justice and love mercy. 11 God eould spare Luther before the re formation was done, and If He could spare Washington before free government had been fully teeted, and If He could spare Howard before more than one out of a thousand dungeons had been alleviated, and If He omld SDare Kobert MeChevne just as Sjos lond was gathering to his burning utterances, and If He could spare Thomas Clarksou while yet millions of his fellow men bad chains rusting to the bone then He can par ny man, and He can spare any party. That man who through cowardice or blind Idolatry of party forsakes the cause of righte ousness goes down, and the armed battalions of God march over him. O Christian men, take ont your Biblo this afternoon, and in the light of that word make up your mind as to what is your duty as citizens! Remember that the high est kind of a patriot Is a Christian patriot. Consecrate yourselves, first to God, then vou will know how to consecrate yourselves to your country. All these political excite ments will be gone. Ballot boxes and gu bernatorial chairs and continents will smoke In the final conflagration, but those who love God and do tneir best shall come to lustrous dominion after the stars have ceased their shining, and the ocean has heaved Its lost bilW, and the closing thunder of the Judgment day shall toll ut the funeral of a world ! Oh, prepare lot "you may vote right and get the victory at the ballot box, and yet suffer eternal defeat. After von have cast your last vote, where will you go to? In this country there are two parties. You belong to the one or the other of them. Likewise in eternity; there wi 11 be fwo parties and only two. ''These shall go away Into everlasting punishment and the Khteous Into life eternal. " To which party wl yu belong?

L'cforo tho house! swept tho high road down into the town and behind them wa a fringe of trees, and then the levelesl glassy slope you evei taw. It was pretty hard for the haymaker; in the summer to swin the scythe and rake the hay up and down or back and forth across the steeply rising ground.' Mr. Swazey, who owned most of the slope, declared it was a standing tempta tion to rival the vineyards ho had seen i n the river Iihine by planting tcrracjs of grapes across its bosom. It remained for Ella Waldrou to dis cover the true purpose for which this bill was formed (so she tald). It was in the early winter of 1S3- when tho snow cov ered the wholo eipanse that she caught the inspiration as she looked up its dazzling cloak of puro white to where, half a mile above, Swazey 's south gable just peeped over skeleton trees. "What a toboggan slide!" she ex claimed. Twenty seconds later she was belort the gate, starting up the high road with the intention of uuburdening her mind into the responsive car of Will Swazey. One of the town boys was just com ing along on tho way up tho hill. It was Dxk Carson, Will's chum. "Good afteraooa, Jlisj AValdroa. I'm going up to ' "Oh, Dick!" interrupted Eila, unable to restrain her enthusiasm. "I've got such an ideal You know tho Swazey hillside, behind the house such a to boggan slide 1 And we can form a club, you knoT and and I was just starting up to see Will about it. Don't you think it's a perfectly splendid idea?" "H'm!" exclaimed Dick. "Seeing that I was going to propose the same thing to Will, I think the idea is pretty fair." "Xo, were you really! Well, comi along then and we'll " "Xo-o, I guess not," returned Dick with a pretense of doubt. "I gueis I'll turn back and mail an order to New York for a toboggan and art outfit." "What for? There's plenty of time 2esiJe3, it isn't settled yet." "Oh, yes it is if you're going to teh Will you want it." "Oj. you teasel" cried Ella with h littie Hush. "Coine along, now, and don't be suuer." And this explains box the Luna T -ooggan C '!' n.'K to be furaieJ, aud puruaps a little ni'jrc besiues. There was great excitement over it ani ;normous curiosity, you may bo sure, un til finally two crates of toboggans ar rived from Xew York with boxes of the regulation Canadiau costumes for boys nd girls. But the winter seemed to have passec then, for the air was mild and the snow bad vanished. But a change came and one February afternoon big llakes begin to fall, faster and faster aud next morn ing they were falling still aud the hill was a sight to behold. Everybody was lato to school, foi jverybody must look over his toboggan and his suit, to make sure they were all right, and theu they all lost more time 'us they gathered about Will Swazey bj the gate aud listened to his mother's in vitation to a great inauguration spread t their Louse after the sport was over. For of course the Swazey house, just at ;he top of the hill was to ba the head quarters of the club. Wor.ls can hardly describe the ga ixcitemeiit of tlje night. Children and parents alike came, the former wrapptd up to the ears iu their brilliantly colored uits, and dragging their toboggans, the latter merely as spectators of the exaila uting sport. And such a scene as it was on thi trest of this snow covered hill, with tho moon shimmering oti a long, glassv crust sweeping down aud away for very nearly half a milel But when it came to taking the first plunge at this new sport, there was sour: hesitation. "Come along E1U; let u? take thi lead," and Ella responded with aa alac rity which, it must be confesseJ, she really did not feel. Everything was iu rcadincs?, the., ivcre seated and wrapped in carefully, Will behind to do the steering; theu Ihcre was a little push of the foot, the toboggan moved over the blow of the incline whiz! they were off iike a flash, gone almost as soou as started, into the deep shadow of the town outskirts. There was a breathless and frightened lilcnce among tho spectators until a faint, far shout came up from below, bctokeuing that the adventurers were lalely landed. Then clutching maternal hands re laxel and the youug people scrambled for the cext s'art. Will, with his usual bri"lituess, had nrdc-rod every available family sleigh to be waiting at a ceitaiu point to bring the tobogganers Luck, and, as fast as a tobogau came whizz. ng to the bnttc:S amid perfect r,!o nl of miow cry.-t i!s. they j.iied into the chicle una wtit firaggei up tho highway behiul th jingling bells. In short, cvcrylhiug was perfect nnd the event was a hugh success, and at th festive board when it was all over a vot of thanks wis tendered to EUa for he inspired idea. The sleighs drove off one by one with tired but happy children, and the Wal drons were the last to leave. They wcr just getting into their sleigh. , "I'm sorry it's over," said Eila, loxi 'jot wistfully toward the shoulder of thi biLiliOBlikeep.U JP all aij;b.t Ions.; mm H "li HimiM HUUKWHSIIWItlllll 1 1 Wl. !',' J1.)

"Whj not go home on that toboggan? W finish just behind your house you know: I'll take you dowa and walk back. ' don't mind, for I am not tired a bit." Ella jumped '.t the idea and Mr. and Mrs. Waldron finally drove off, leaving their daughter behind. Somehow when Ella and Will again stood at the top of the moonlit hid ioi their last essay, they did not appear ti be in any hurry to mve, aad so wusi Mr. and Mrs. Waldron arrive 1 at their house, thero was oo daughter 1 1 n-.-jet them at the door, though Mrs. Waldron immediately exclaimed at t ae fact that every window seemed to have a lighl u.'c.inJ tne shade'. When they had let themselves in wi:! the latch key, there was the hall ligu blaz9 and noisy nith the over pressure "Ella!" called Mr3. Wa'.dioa. No answer. "3ridget!" No sound Cira9 bae'r. What can this nietn?" csc'aime-3 Mrs. Waldron, makiug a stuit for the 'titchen stairs, below whtch the serv.in ihouid have beon waiting up. ' Mr. Waldron, with nn anxious lojl on his face, followed more slowly. When he roiched the head of the stain he heard Mrs. Waldron below utter a piercing scream, and he sbrang down 'iito tho kitchen three stcs at a time. When the distant sleighbslls en.l ihouts had finally diel awiy tit? solemn itillness warned E.la thar i: was too late io dally longer oa the .l.iltip. She seated herself on the toboggan, melted in everything securely, and then Will behind gave the necessary push, a great snowy spray rising up in t'ueir wake and sparkling in tho moonligh' like a shower of tiny brilliants. Thero is no motion just like that ol tho toboggaa with its eloctrlc spce 1, its direful roar, and tho scmo of plunging forward Into space, which is a part of it. There is just euough of that sinking f ansation of fear in the progress to give me sport a most fascinating ezcitemeat. They were almost down, almost bo bind the Waldron house whoa their hearts suddenly stood still with thril' Df genuine fear. A figure, black against the snow, was speeding across their path toward th woods. A cry sprang from Will's throat, tho figure stopped, looked, sprang away, and forward into the air flew tho two tobog gans as if shot from a cannon.

Will had been feeling over theor.tsid of the bag, but now he rose, and tarn iug towards tho wood', he gave a ring 'ng halloo. There was no answer, but, while they, were waiting the s mad of a clicking' gate made them tu.ru, and what did the; see but Mr. Waldrou running toward) them from his back yard. Ella, go right into the house au4 help your mother; and Will, if you can, wish you'd run over to Dr. Somerby ' nhi'e I go dowu to tho Constable's." "What's the matter?" Ella and Wil' ashed in unison. "The house has been ransacked by a burglar. We found Bridget locked iq the cellar and she is fainting every thref minutes. Your mother is nearly dis tracted and we must what is that?" Mr. Waldrou's excited eye had faller upon the bag lyiu behind Will. ' 'Veil, if I'm not mistaken, thnt is the plunder from your bouse, or part of ir," responded Will, whose quick iu tcilec: had pieced several things t getlu-r iu a second. "What do you mean? How do you know!" Mr. Waldron was excessivel; startled, it was plain. We nearly rau over a man who was crossing the suow, a-id we frightened him so that he dropped this bag, and t ivent shooting over it. He was coming from the direction of the bouse and " "Here, help me drag it back. We vill see if you are right. It -in ahead, Ella, and help quiet Bridget." Between tho two the bag was dragged o the house, just as Bridget was coming ;o out of her fifth fainting fit. The announcement of their surprise at the contents of the bag seemed to revive her miraculously, and she tottered over to the group that waited patiently while Mr. Waldron s nervous band cut the string that bound the neck. One article after another was produced and excitedly identified silver candle sticks, expensive table Ilnea, trinkets from Mrs. Waldron's boudoir, and evea s small but expensive traveling clock that was still ticking faithfully. Liter it was fully told how a low. orowe2 vagabond, who must have seen the folks drive away early ia the even ing, had called Bridget, to the door, thrown his cost over her head, and then hreatened her with instant death if she ittercd a sound.

How Sir Walter UcclHretl Himself. It was in 1827 and at a theatrical fund dinner in Edinburgh lhat Sir Walter Scott declared himself to 1 the author of the "Waverley Novels." This is the speech he made on that occasion: "I did not expc."t on com ing here to-day that I should have to disclose a secret.

I confess I am guilty and am almost afraid to examine the extent of my delinquency. -Look orf t again I dare not.' The wand of Frospero is now broken and my book buried, NATURE'S MURDERER'S. Bird or the Air and Beasts or the le!e Which Are Constantly at War. Id Yuf. Newman's letters to tin uewspapers ho says that "if we give up the cruelty of mangling birds with the gun and leave the little hawks tc destroy themselves with divine dex terity, they will remain as numerous as now." Surely imagination is at work here more tecderly than keenly. Any one who has spent quiet days on the lonely moors must have seen a sparrow hawk chasing a lark. We cannot tell what the lark's private opinion may be, but to all outward appearances It never appreciates "divine dexterity." The chase often lasts from twenty minutes to half an hour. Sometimes the lark cots clean away; sometimes it takes refuge at tho feet of a man or in some friendly cottage; but more often the poor creature's flight grows feeble, and the savage enemy stoops and brings it down. When the cautive and captor reach the ground the divine dexterity makes itself manifest in a most butcherly process of tearing and rend ing. Tartridges and grouse, which are pursued by the larger hawks.seem also to suffer terrible agony during their flitrht. In fact, from ail obser vation, I Incline to believe that if the birds could be got to deliver an im partial opinion, they would declare in favr of the swift oblivion given by the gun rather than in favor of the long terror of fliirht and the cruel rending of beak and talons. Trof. Newman may have means of accu rately gauging ornithological opinio:!, but we, the most part of us can only form judgment from common obser vation. Those who favor the pro fessor's vles of nature's operations should try to spend one long day in some- wild place. They would find that day a cycle of murder Suppos ing that the place is by the sea, lie down, first of all, by the side ol sume deep break in the rocks, and watch what goes on as the tide flows in. The goby lurks behind the wav ing weeds and dashes out now and again on his prey: the dog crab slides along and watches his chances: the black eel winds sinuously about vrith his violations eye and his snaky colls making him look like the very genius of murder. l!y the time tlie gap is completely filled the observer sees one great battle of species against sptt-ies: and he knows that the same fight is going on in every bay down the coast. Inland the same kind of wild work may be seen by dexterous watching. A rabbit stumbles hopelessly anions the tussocks. It seems dazed and foredone. A few yards behind conic? a tiny brown creature with white breast and vicious little teeth; and j the poor rabbit knows that there is no escape irom tnis cieaaiy pursuer. Unless you care to deliver the rabbit from divine dexterity you will see how nature's butchers work. The chased beast begins to run in halting circles; then it stops and screams, then there is a brown fkisrii, anl the weasel is fixed li ko an ugh parasite behind the poor vlct imV.cars: then there is silence. Half an hour after you will see the rabbit aban doned with a gaping wound in its neck. If your terrier accompanies you, then tho rabbit Is saved and the would-be murderer is murdered. The weasel turns on the di.g and s jueaks with a thin sound that sets the teeth on edge; he also emits an abominable stench, which stays long Sn the air. The terrier knows that divine dexterity must be exercise 1 (not so much for the purpose of par ing the weasel pain as for prewntina that lively creature from getting a hold on his Jugular), so he poises ti second ticfore triking. Then Ik catches the soft little brute by the middle; there is a ijuick ilapiiinp sound as the dog shakes his head, ami the wcs-el tiles four feet into the air. Evolution and training have niaac this butcher efliclent. Watch among the sloe-bushes of some deep ravine. Down in the hollow there Is a red gleem as lleynard works his waj among the sedges.

The fox makes his dart: there is a gurgling scream, and divint dexterity is once more made, mani fest. How many more sights and sounds of death meet the eye anj ear in the course of day and.: night there Is no need to say. rixi. New jnan should go and see; and it? might learn that man is not, after all, Ux crudest of animals. Experiment In Justice. "The law's delay," which Hamlet thought was one of the things which made life worth living, has been a subject of raillery on the r irt ol satirists, 'tnd of s?rious concern on the part ol statesmen, in all ages. The p ior man who, at the present time, has gone into court- and wi;c fears that justice will never be done him there, may assure him-elf lhat at least his troubles are nothing new. The chronicles, in part composed ot traditions, of the time of the great Emieror Charlemagne, who was the master and to a great extent the law giver of Europe In the eighth ai.d ninth centuries, record an interest ing and amusing attempt on this monarch's part to prevent the delays of justice. He could not deny that the excuses made by the judges were plausible, but he was convinced that they could decide cases more promptly if they would. He decreed, therefore, that when a judge had failed to render a decisio:: within a certain reasonable time, the complainant in the case should have the right to take up bis residence in the judge's house, to eat at his table and to lodge at his expense until tha decision should be made. The decree was promptly taken ad vantage of by various litigants, whe nraised the wisdom and righteousness of their sovereign as they tasted the 1 fare and slept on the beds of theii dilatory judges. They found, however, that there was another side to the picture. They succeeded in hastening the decision of the judge; but when it was reached it was generally found to be unfavor able to the complainant. It was his way, as we should express the matter in the nineteenth century, ot get ting even." This interesting method of enforc ing decisions, therefore became un popular. And what the wise and powerful Charlemagne failed to ac complish has never since been effect ually secured. ftllLITAR Y POWER OF CHINA, Ab Tit COO.OOO Men Available, IOO.OQ4 Being Anned With Latest Improved Itlflps. The possibilities of China as a mil itary power have hardly been consid ered by the Western nations, it has been vaguely realized that China might some day become a menace to any power that offended her if w hat may be called the "national militia" of that country should ever be turned into trained troops. A nation of 300, 000,000 or 400,000.000 people should have 20.000,000 or 2.",000,000 able bodied men in the prime of condition for military service. With such a foice as this, the San Francisco Ex aminer thinks, China would bean an tagonist that no nation would attack. While the fact that China possesses this enormous mass of the raw mate rial of soldiery has been understood, the inefliciency of the Government and the absurd showing heretofore made by its armies have spread the idea that China would not have to be reckoned with as a military power tn the life of any m m now living. lie cent reports however, indicate that there has been a change in the Chinese armies. While no attempt has been made to develop the strength of the nutional militia, the regulai army has been partly remodeled and made an effective force. European and American officers have beeu em ployed. Western tactics have been taught, strict military discipline en forced and the eiiuipment of the troops altered to the European stylo. The rearmament of the troops with tho latest Improved rifles Is now In progress, and already a force of 100, ouo men Is fully equipped and ready for service. The Chinese army is all told but about 000,000 men, and the larger portion of these have not yet been reached in the system of army re form. But the fact that the trans formation has proceeded thus fur'and is still going on showsihat China has realized her deficiencies and is anxious to remedy them. The fact may mean mu'-h to the world. Tue Chinese are good soldiers when properly trained and led. The work of Ward and Gor don In the Taiping rebellion 6howed that. The experience of San Fran cisco with the highbinders confirms the statements of Gordon that they have a desperate courage that can be turned to good account If they have confidence in their leaders. But It remains to I e seen whether the Gov ernment has the strength to make its army strong. Corruption anil lnelli cioney are its ruling traits, and vhese arc fatal to an army if they are found iu the army administration. If Eu ropean methods are followed Clvna may In ten years have a disciplined force to compare with the armies ol Europe. Yet, even with the progress that has been made and the greater progress that may be made In the future. China will not be feared until she proves in armed conflict that she has thrown oriental administrative and military faults behind her forthe methods of the "foreign devils." l-uuud IVIHIKmI Stanriitii; Forettf. r. B. Scheiiierhorn, geologist, who recently discovered tlie great glacier in Idaho County, has found a fossi forest in the center of Custer County, Idaho. In tlie same locality he has discovered the pel rifted bones of a now extinct race of men and animals, which will be sent to Chi. -ago. The forest an area of four square mih s. and the condition of the ground shows that at one time an enormous Cow of clay which worked in from the northwe.-t. buried the tree trunks to a gr.-at deptii. This clay has turned to stone, and no one can ascertain its true depth without going to great ex pense. All the trees In this forest have their tops broken off and stand from ten to forty feet above the ground, averaging about twenty-eight to the acre. Sehemerhorn took the exact measurement of some of the trees and found them to average twelve feet in diameter on top and sixteen feet in diameter at the sur face of the ground. How far the trunk reached through the clay stone to the soil he had no means of ascer taining. A branch which had be. come detached from a tree ami v is lying about sixteen feet Irom it was three feet in diameter. Irom the size of the trees and their branches Mr. Sehemerhorn thinks they are a species of redwood, such as is found in California, and attributes their fossilization to the clay, which, bear ing a large part iif mineral and pre Mimuhlv coming from some volcano, soon turned tlie living trees into monuments of stone.

Twas Not a Bible. Everybody who has seen a police court Bible knows what a grimy, greasy and generally unprepossessing volume it is. Held by every tarletj of dirty hands kissed frequently bj not overclcan lips and left during o3 hours in dusty corners, it sooc be comes, as far as appearance goes, a vagrant among books, and one that people with instincts of cleanliness would not care to handle for any length of time. The Bible in one of the uptown police courts having received such rough usage during its long service that it threatened to fail apart, one of the officers tied it together with a piece of twine, and in this shape it has been doing duty for the past three weeks. Last Monday morning this battered veteran was the cause of a brief sensation in court anci now the ortlciuls of the same are seeking for .1 certain humorist with gore iu their opt les, says the New York Commer cial Advertiser. As the witness iu ari assault, and battery case was t.' l f t hr-ok to swear in Ii:j cvHcnce the string bro!;c and the In terior parted company with tlm covers. The witness picked up the former and looked through its pages with a smile. "Is it this ye want me U s'.carrai, yer honor'" he quired. "That is the Bible, sir." "1 e ih' powers, it's a dictionary:" And so it was. Somebody bad replaced the original 1hmi- itli a small copy of Webster's una1 ridged, and for some indefinite periolof time plaintiffs defendants an 1 witnesses had been gravely swearin upon it.

The boy had p'eked up a little Eng lih, and was proud of his acquire ment. In fact, he had, what seems to be rare with Celestials, a strong desire to become a master of the Eng. lih tongue. He had taken the travel ler to ihe South Bearl Hall, where the shrine of the '-Queen of Heaven" is ornamented with handsome gilded carvings in wood.

"Yes, all blllass," chimed in an u learned bylander, and AhChoy'ssat isfaetion was doubled. 1 'resent !y. however, his pride had a fall, for he pronounced the word "vil lage" as if it had been spelled "Wool wich." and his patron felt obliged to correct him. Ah Choy was crest fallen, and when the Englishman proposed moving on, he forgot his r's in his confusion, and answered, "vellv well." 'I wonder," he remarked a little later, "if I went to England and studied for three years, 1 could speak English just like Englishmen." 'Oil yes," said his mentor; "know ing so much already, you might do it in half that t ime.'' Then tlie true object of Ah Chov's ambition was disclosed, "l es," he said, with a brightening face, "nd then I could write au English poem."

Henry Waid Beecher once went in search of a brief rest to a small ti-.li-ing village, where his appearance was apparently unknown. When Sun day came round he went to the morn ing service at the Congregational church, aud was not a little aston ished to find the preacher forthe day. a very young man, rattle off one of his (Beecher's) best sermons as an or iginal discourse. At the conclusion of the service the great preacher waited for a chat with the young man. "Might I ask how long it took you to comiKise the sermon you preaehi d to us this morning?" inquired its real author. "Oh, about six or seven hours," was the rejoinder. "You must be a very smart joung man," said Beecher, "for it took un: just five days to write that sctf-samj sermon." After a careful but unblu-hnig scrutiny of the great pulpit oral or, the youth remarked, I sruess you're Mr. Ward Beecher, then?" A grave nt 1 was the only response.
