him. An old farmer only dissen,ed.
Taint like 2 exclaimed every BODY
sjust show us wherein 'taint like
'Taint like, no 'taint,' responded the i
old farmer: don't you see he has got his

He may have fought manfully forlmonths
against the sin, and still kept the secret
locked in his BOSOM. Atilast he was
overcome. Inn moment he yielded: sHe.
would give worlds to recall the net. He
bas mourned oyeritin secret, and .repen.
ted in dust and ashes. Shall we forsakea :
him?-Earth and Heaven-iusticc and
humanity philanthropy and religion
cry out: Forgive him!' He who will
not forgive, must possess the heart of a
demon. Surely, the love of God is not
in him.-Pori1aad Bulletin.
