Dr. Sprague tells the following anecdcte
Of IN evangelical clergyman in the English
church, named Jones. The story was given
him by the Rev. George Burder:
Mr.. Jones had college classnate, who
entered the ministry nc the same time with
himself but was mere man OF the world,
and knew little of and cared nothing for the
true gospel. This man conversing one day
with Mr.. Jones, said to him, nalf jocosely
and half seriously:
why Is it that you are so popular as a
preacher, and so few come TO hear me, when
everybody knows that at the University |
was considered greatly your superior ?"
"Why," said Mr.. Jones, "the reason is
that preach the Gospel"
"The Gospel - said the other 80 do |
almost every text preach is from Matthew,
Mark, Luke or John"
Mr.. Jones said, "You may do that and yet
never preach Jesus Christ"
swell" said the other, ''lsnd me one oil
your sermons and see what effect it viii
have"
He acsaally did lend him one, and be
preached ~ he had engaged to do, and as he
was coming cut Of the church ut the close
of the service he was accosted BY q man
who, in listening TO the borrowed discourse
had been thrown irto o state Of anxiety ir
respect to has salvation.
Says the minister somewhat confused BY
the strange result Of his preaching-"wait
wait, say nothing about il till the people
have gone out"
After the congregatioa had retired, the
anxious inquirer began further to explain
himself, when the clergyman interrupted
him by saying:
*But what is the matter with your see
no occasion for making yourself 50 un
happy"
Matter" he replied, "your preaching bas
made me feel like condemned criminal, and
fear there Is no mercy for me-"

A correspondent of a Chinese paper,
writing from Annoy on the Slst Of Decem-
Der last, thus describes the execution Of a
rebel:
" He was dragged to the place of execu-
tion, so heavily ironed and manaeled that he
could not walk, and being almost starved
for some time previously, appeared the
most miserable object Of suffering humanity
that could be imagined, more dead than
alive. He was guarded BY about 200 Man
DARN soldiers, headed by the Hal Hong,

Of life or death, who having dressed himself
in AIRED hood dnd mantle. seated himself at
table, placed there for the occasion, de-
manded the prisoner to be brought before,
him, which being done, be was forced on his
knees The Hal Hong ordered him 10 re-
ceive 800 lashes with the bamboo. The reb-
el having received his 300 blows, and borne
them without a murmur, was taken to q
cross that had been erected for the purpose,
and being securely dashed to it in an upright
posture, with his arms extended, the execu-
tioner commenced his horrible butchery by
first cutting of the flesh above the eyes !;

stomach. Then giving yell, he ran his
