BIBLE BoNEs.-Au old man once said
"For long period puzzled myself about
the difficulties Of the Scripture, till at last
came to the resolution that reading the
Bible was like eating fish. When fiud a
difficulty, l lay it aside and call it bone.
Why should l choke on the bone, when
there is so mach nutritious meat for me!
Some day, perhaps, may find that even
the bone may afford me nourishmeut." j."
Would that there were less picking Of
bones, and more Of fsasti1g on the sub.
stantial food with which infinite love has
spread the spiritual board!

THE World owes me a Living"

"The World owes me Living"
That's false, sir 1t doesn't owe you I
farthing. You cre the 'corid for the ligh
Of its days, the warmth Of its sunshine
the beauty Of its earth and sky, and fo1
its love, affections, and friendships, cluster
ed around and clung to your WORTHLESS.
trunk. For all these, and other blessing.
Of countless numbers, you are debtor
You have never even thanked God fol
health and life. You have never made
the world better for your living You
have nothing to your credit on the day
book or ledger of life-not cent. You
have never taken dollar stock in Heaven
You are q miserable, aimless, iudolen'
bankrupt. You float down the stream
of your lazy existence like foodwood on
water. Were you to sink to-day to obi.
won, you would not leave bubble.
The world owes you living! Where
is there manly thought uttered, or a no.
bic deed performed Where are there
evidences of your labor? Nowhere. You
are lounging through life with your hands
in your pockets, an indolent lOafer, swear
ing and slavering nonsense. A pile of
lumber would be of more account, for that
could be worked into forus Of usefulness
and beauty; but you will not make any
thing Of yourself, CT allow society to do it.
A world Of such as you would be the place
70 live in, indeed !! You have degraded
our common manhood instead of ennobling
and elevating it, and in nothing but form
and vulgar speech are you above the brutes
that perish. And because you arc too
lazy to work, you claim that the world
owes you living!
Don't tell that lie again, you sluggard !!
We're you treated as drones are treated in
the hives, you would have been kicked
out Of creation long ago. You are a
sponge, swelled with what you have ab-
sorbed from society. You dwarfed the
intellect given , ou ,and neglected the en-
dowment it would have brought you. So
cffectually have you wasted the boon Of
life, that, unless your bones shall get to
the dissecting room, and your picked car
cass as fertilizer upon some God fOrsa-
ken spot, you have passed through life to
no purpose. The tobacco you have chew
ed, has only def.ed everything around
you and the liquor you have drank, has
only been adulterated by your miserable
and vile nature turned into rowdyism aud
profanity. You contaminate everything
you touch, and even those like you viii.
keep their children from the leprosy of
your teaching and example.
No, sir, you o,ce the ,oorld better life.
You never can pay all the debt, but you
can do better, and commute for twenty
FIVE cents on the dollar. Do and say
something noble and manly ! and for
some honorable purpose, and not iuhale
Gods pure sir for nothing, and grunt
through existence like hog, having only
two aims in life-to reach the bar, and
dinner table ); and only two attributes
to cat to gluttony, and drink to drunken
ness. The world owes NO such a man a
living.
