Romeo and Bullet.

Z, in ancient Italy, deadly hatred grew
Between old Caleb Capulet aud Moses Montague.
Now Moses had an only son, a little dapper beau,
The pet Of all the pretty girls by name young Romeo.
Aud Caleb owned female girl, just home from boarding

And tbher went young Romeo without an invitation.
One TThalt OInsuan to the hosD began TO grow and

And watched an opportunity TO put the fellow out.
But Caleb saw the game and said, Snow, cousin don

When Juliet saw Romeo his beauty did enchant her,
And Romeo, h fell in love with Juliet instanter.
Now, lest their dads should spoil the fun but little time

Oh cruel fate that day the groom met Tybalt in the
And Ty6alt being very drunk, at Romeo did swear.
Then Romeo MS weapon drew In knife Of seven blades

No government has existed long with
out law, and no sect has been of long
continuance without the Bible. The
religion of P ersia is founded ON the Yen
davesta, of India on the Shastas of
Turkey on the Koran. There are one
hundred.and twenty millions Of our race
who believe the Koran, but they ale SUI
perstitious and unchristian like. There
is constant strife among them, and will
be, until the Bible is known and believ-
ed by them. Where the Bible is ac-
knowledged, it Yields an influence I'M
known before. 1t gives currency to
true religion and wholesome laws; being
the most ancient book in the world, it
has given light to some extent in all
ages when the world was enveloped
in darkness, it told of the star of Beth
lehem, and the birth of the worlds Re-
deemer; and while the frail ark of the
human soul was left to float in the ocean
of untritd expectation, it stood as a
beacon light to guide the wanderer
home. But where its pecepts are more
fully developed, its power is greater
AS soon as it called it's first advocates
from the fishing boats of Galilee, the
Roman empire began to crumble; the
Jewish hierarchy trembled, and Satan
fell like lightning from heaven.
1t has ever since been making war
upon sin and oppression. England has
felt its rayages; superstition vanished,
and Christian temples stand where once
fiourished the groves of the Druids.-
1t introduced intelligence and social or
der, moulded the literature and gave
laws to our ancestors. But more direct
ly in our own institutions, we derive our
origin, to great extent, from the Puri-
tans, to whom the Bible was dear as
life. 1t went with them into the unbro-
ken forest, and supported them when
the war-whoop Of the savage saluted
their ears. Beneath its guidance we
have become a mighty nation. 1t has
been to US the great morning and even
ing light; rising, it showed US the fate
of ancient republics setting, it guides
our pathway in future. Its divine edicts
challenged the attention of every son of
man. When the pyramid of earth was
formed, it lowered around its base. In
the future its blessings extend common
surate with the existence Of suffering
mortals. 1t lifts the veil of eternity
and the unfolding apocalypse of it's gran
deur tells the story of the redeemed,
and presents to our minds the trees of
life in living emerald, overshadowing
the pavilion of the blessed all we know
of heaven we learn from the Bible. 1t
is to US the grand eureka of the skies,
let us read it. God gives us reason to
understand it.-Aeaalohis Ad0ocote.

Why the Mila was Stopped

In one of the older States once resi-
ded an in6del, the owner of saw mill,
situated by the side Of the highway, over
which large portion Of Christian
congregation passed every Sabbath to
and from church. This infdel, having
no regard for the Sabbath, was as busy
and his mill was as noisy on that holy
day, as on any other. Before long it
was observed, however, that at GER
tain time before service, the mill would
stop, remain silent, and appear to be
deserted for a few minutes. when its
noise and clatter would recommence
and continue till about the close ofser-
vice, when for a short time it again
ceased.
1t was soon noticed that one of the
deacons Of the church passed the mill
to the place of worship, during the 81
lent interval and so punctual was he
to the hour, that the infdel knew just
when to stop his mill, so that it should
be silent while the deacon was passing
although he paid no regard to the pass
ing of others. On being asked why he
paid this mark of respect to the deacon
he replied
"The deacon processes just what the
rest of you do but he Nves also such a
life, that it makes me feel bad here,
quitting his hand upon his hearty to
run my mill while he is passing"
This incident illustrates the power of
a holy, consistent life, and shows US
very clearly the kind OF influence we
should exert upon those around u.s.
This good man, it appears, ''walked in
wisdom" toward those without the
church of Christ, as the Apostle exhorts
all Christians to do. He exhibited in
his daily intercourse temper and con-
duct CORE spending with the principles
which he protested and while such
department will not always induce a
scoffer to embrace those principles, it
will go SO far to disarm his preiudices,
that his esteem for one protesting them
may in the end lead him to a hearty
embrace of the truth.

The Harvest Hymn.

God of the rolling year To Thee
Our songs shall rise, whose bounty pours,
In many goedly gift, with free
And liberal hand, our autumn stores;
No frstlings of our flock we slay,
No soaring clouds of incense rise,
But on Thy hallowed shrine we lay
Our hallowed hearts in sacrifice.
Borne on Thy breath the lap of spring
Yves heaped with many blooming flower {;
And smiling summer joyed to bring
The sunshine and the gentle shower
The autumn's rich luxuriance now
The ripened seed, the bursting she'll,
The golden sheaf, the laden bough
The fullness of Thy bounty tell.
No mental throng, in prime ely dome,
Here wait titled lords behest;
But many a fair and pes ceful home
Hath won Thy peaceful dove guest;
No groves of balm our fields adorn,
No myrtle shades or orange bowers,
But rustling meads of golden corn
And fields of waving grain are ours.
SAFE IN L ny care, the landscape er;
Our focks and herds securely stray,
No tyrant master claims our store,
No ruthless robber rends away;
No fierce VOLCANOES whitening shower,
No fell simeon with poisonous b reth,
No burning sun, no baleful power,
Awake the fiery plaques of death.
And here shall rise our song TO Thee,
Where heightened wales and pastures lie,
And streams go singing wild and free,
Beneath blue and smiling sky;
Where near was reared a mortal throne,
Where crowned oppressers never trod,
Here at the throne of heaven alone,
Shall man in reverence bow to God.

TWENTY SQUARE MILES OF GRAVES
AT SEBAsTAPoL.-It appears by letter
ofMr. Gowan, the American engineer,
who is engaged in raising the sunken
Russian vessels in the harbor of Sebas-

number three hundred, and that they
cover twenty square miles territory.
Considering that the siege lasted less
than two years, and that the graves
comprise the dead of but one side,
