After an elaborate and powerful defense
he closed his effort by the following slTI'

"When God in his eternal counsel
conceived the thought Of mans creation
he called the three ministers who wait
constantly upon the shrone-Juslire,
Truth and Mercy, and thus addressed
them :-"Shall we make man :" Then
said Justice, 20, God, make him not ;
for he will trample upon thy law"
Truth made answer also, 20, God, make
him not, for he will poIlute thy sanclu'

exclaimed, 20, God, make him will

The dark paths which he may have TO

Imoortant Metallic Discovery.

One of The startling discoveries OF the
age has Just been made. and lis effect up.
ON the commercial affairs Of the world
cannot be fore,,ld. We aIlude TO the late
discovery in the process Of making or
smelling OF new metal called The Byrne
ore or Byrne metal, which has been ma
med after the inventor. This new metal
is of such a nature that either an imitation
of gold or silver can be produced which
would defy detection by more than nine
tcnths Of the dealers in wares manuiscIu-
red of pure gold and silver. The most
astonishing part of this new discovery il
that of its being so valuable as to be used
in the manufacture OF every article IN
which gold or silver can be used.
This metal is being used now in the
manufacture of watch cases, rings, pen
ellis, spoons forks. heads for canes.
tooth. picks, pens, table sets, chandeliers
and in fact everything iu which gold and
silver has been used heretofore and
when il is understood that this metal
was sold in the manufactured state for 81
an ounce, The immense revolution which
It is destined TO produce in the CONNER
cial world can be partially conceived. lis
weight and general appearance is precise
ly like that of gold aud silver thus max
ing i, without doubt the equal OF those
metals in the manufacture of everything
else but money, which use is made Ger
tain, because il will not change It's ap-
pesrance by use any more than gold or
silver will, and not so much when alloy To-
any great extent is used.
We say that this is a startling dlscove-
~. We call it a startling discovery be-
cause it will, in a great measure. dispense
with the use of gold snd silver in the
manufacture of jeweIry and other articles
in which these precious metals have been
heretofore used, in consequence OF which
the supply OF these metals will be greatly
augmented, the result Of which will he to-
increase their use in coinage and cores
pondng increase in the volume Of money
in the channels Of trade, which must 40
vance The prices of all kinds Of merchan
disc in like ratio.
When We can buy service Of plate made
of metal which represents gold IN every
particular but its value, for 81 an ounce,
while. wrought gold is worth SlSan ounce
it is easy TO perceive that great revolu-
lion is about to take place in this branch
Of trade. In I've silver ware, The differ
ence of price is not so great. A set OF
silver spoons which costs now So, can be
bought, made of This metal, and which
will represent the silver in every parIIcn-
Tar, but their value, for 81 the set. For
our part we must say that is the most as
founding development that the world has
ever known as regards its commercial ar
1t surpasses the railroad
and telegraph invention beyond doubt,
and may end in revclulionizlng on: whole

visit to her grandParent in The country,
where blessing is invoked by the while

custom was one with which our little
friend had not been familiar al home, and
Of course on the first occasion she was
silent with interest and curious watchlul-
ness. But when the family gathered
around the board the second time after
commencement of her visit, she was pre-
pared for preliminary religious ceremony.

upon which the loose pig will thrive re-
