So the old woman put on her speeks,

He dug the bottom and hauled out some

WHY JEwEssEs ARE BEAUTIFUL
Chateaubriand gives fanciful but. an
agreeable reason for the fact that Jew
ish women are SO m uch handsomer than
the men of their nation. He says Jew
csses have escaped the curse which
alighted upon their fathers, husbands
and sons. Not Jewesses was to be
seen among the crowd of priests and rab-
bic who insulted the Son Of God, scourg-
ed Him, crowned Him with thorns and
subjected Him to infamy AMI the agony
Of the cross. The women Of Judea be-
lieved in the Savior, and assisted Him
under affection. A woman of Bethany
poured on his head precious ointment,
which she kept in a vase of alabaster.-
The sinner anointel his feet with per-
fumed oil, and wiped them with her hair.
Christ on his part intended mercy to the
Jewesses. He raised from the dead the
son of the widow of Main, and Martha's
brother Lazarus. He cured Simon's
motherin-law, and the women who
touched the hem Of his garment To the
Samaritan woman he was a spring of
living water, and a compassionate judge
to the women in adultery. The daugh-
ters of jerusalem wept over him the
holy women accompanied him to Calva-
ry, brought him balm and spices, and,
weeping, sought Him in the sepnlchre.
Woman, why wcepsst thou - His
first appearance after the resurrection
was to Mary Magdalene. He said to
her, Mary At the sound of his voice
Mary Masdalenc's eyes were opened, and
she answered MASTER The rehec-
ton of some beautiful ray must have
rested on the brow Of the Jewesses.

William McElderry of the same township,
whilst in town with his team, was leading a
pair of horses out Of the stable Of S. G. Mes
Kee, and one Of them, being young and frac-
tious, became frightened at a sled, and leaping
forwards, plunged upon him and hurled him
10 the ground with great violence. He was
picked up ssnseless, and carried into the Amer
lean House. whence after short time, he was
enabled to drive home, though feeble from the
shock received, and the loss of blood.
