Death Warrant of Jesus Christ.


Of the many interesting relics and frag-
ments of antiquity which have been brought
to the light by the persevering researches
of modern philosophers, none could have
been more interesting to the philantbropist
and believer than the one we publish below.
Chance, says the Courier DIES Etats Unis,
has just put into our hands the most i'm
posing and interesting judicial document to
oil Christians that ever has been recorded
in human annals; that is, the identical
Death Warrant of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The document was faithfully transcribed by
the editor, in these words -
Sentence rendered by Pontius PLATE, acting
Governor of Lower Galilee, stating that
Jesus of Nazareth shall suffer death on
the cross:
In the year seventeen of the Emperor
Tiberius Caesar, and the 9th day of March,
the city of the holy Jerusalem-Anna and
Caiphas being priests, sacrifscators of the
people of God-Pontius Plate, Governor of
lower Galilee, sitting in the presidential chair
of the Pr@tory Condemns Jesus of Nazareth
to die on the cross between two thieves-the
great and notorious evidence of the people
saying:
l. Jesus is seducer.
2. He is seditious.
8. He is the enemy of the law.
4. He calls himself falsely the Son of God.
5. He calls himself falsely the King of
Israel.
6. He entered into the temple, followed
by multitude bearing palm branches in
their hands.
Orders of the first Centurian, Quilts
Cornelius, to lead him to the place of execu-
ton.
Forbids any person, whomsoever, either
poor or rich, to oppose the death of Jesus
Christ.
The witnesses who signed the condemna-
ton of Jesus, are
l. Daniel Rsbani, Pharisee.
2. Joannus Robani.
8. Raphael Robani.
4. Capet, citizen.
Jesus shall go out of the city of Jerusalem
by the gate of Struenus. 80

ToUGH.-A man up in New Hampshire
went out cunning one day this spring-he
saw a flock of pigeons sitting on limb of
an old pine, so he dropped ball into his
gun and fired. The ball split the limb,
which closed up and caught the toes Of all
the birds in it. He saw that he had got
them all, so he fastened two balls together
with wire and fred, cutting the limb of,
which fell into the river; he then walked
in and brought them ashore. On counting
them he found there were over three hun.
dred pigeons, and in his boots there we're
two barrels of minnows

MARRIAGE OF CAUSE.-THE vice of our
country is, in one department of life and
love, that girls maryland marry young
Now, according to nature, as she breaches
through physiology, and there is abundance
of eloquence and truth in her voice, girls
have about as much as they can do, with any
sort of cleverness and justice, in getting
their growth, and filling their head But,
instead of this very respectable conducting,
they rarely get foot into fourteen or fifteen,
before they start for the altar. This is all
wrong-very wrong. Common sense, or
any other sort that is ripe and clear, tells Us
much.
On this matter, q contemporary has bright
and true word or two. Read -
1.-The marriage of girls of fourteen to sew
enteen years isa very prevalent cause of
personal and transmitted evil and suffering.
PrematuIely taxed with the care and nour-
ishment of children, their constitutions give
way, and at thirty they are already on the
downhili of life. Eighteen is the youngest
age at which any one should marry-twenty
to twenty-three is much BETTER
