Description OF our Savior.

The following was copied from the
Ay-leaf of an old bible, when up
Red River with General Banks ex-
petition;
The Boston Journal says the fol-
lowing epistle was taken by Napoleon
from the public records Of Rome,
when he deprived that city OF
so many valuable manuscripts.
II was written of the time and on
the spot where Jesus Christ COM
mcnced his ministry, by Publius
Centulus, Governor Of Judca, to the
Senate Of Rome-Cesar, Emperor.
II was the custom in those days for
the Governor to write any event of
importance which transpircs while he
held office.
"Conscript Fathers! There ap-
pcared, in these our days, a man
named Jesus Christ, who is yet liv-
ing among us, and Of the Gcntilcs is
accepted as a prophet Of great truth /;
but his own disciples call him the
Son Of God. He hath raised the
dead and cured all manner OF dis
eases. He is a man Of stature, tall
and comely, with a very ruddy coun-
tenance, such as the beholdcr may
love and fear. His hair is the color
Of the 6lbert, when fully ripe, plain
TO his ears, whence downward il is
most ornet in color, curling and
waving about his shoulders; in the
middle Of his head Is seam or par
titiou Of long hair, after the manner
Of the Nazaritcs. His forehead Is
plain and delicate, his face without
spot or wrinkle, beautiful, with a
comcly rcd--his nose and mouth are
exactly formcd-bcard, the color of
his hair, and thick, not Of any great
length, but forked.
In rcproying he is terrible; in adj
monisbing, courteous; in speaking,
very modest and wise; in proportion
Of body, well shaped. None have
ever seen him laugh, but many have
seen him weep. A man, for surpsss-
ing beauty, excclling the children Of
mcn."

WHERE Do REPORTERS Come
FRoM?-This question l had asked
myself SO often, that some time ago
l took the pains to ascertain what
the reply could be. / tried TO find
out indirectly by what paths our
nimblc-fngered friends had reached
their profession. The facts differed
as much as the men themselves.
There is no school for reporters; no
training college" for them, Though
an idiot is trying, I believe, to origi-
nate an absurdity of the sort ) they
are not "articled" to the work; nor,
l imagine, are there many cases in
which a boy when asked, on leaving
school, by his parents what he should
like to be, answers that he wishes "to
be reporter" | know not how il
is in America, but here some men
seem to come to the press by chance
recommendation; by an eager Curl
osity; by a hatred for trade; by a
failure in other calIings. Youths in
shops in a provincial town begin by
sending paragraphs to the local print,
grow tired of what they consider the
drudgery of buying and selling, get
hold Of a shorthand book and drill
themselves in leisure hours for the
initiatory performances of a reporters
career. Not a few look to the prizes
Of the successful, and TO the openings
the connection will place at their
feet. / know, at this time, able men
who are both barristers and reporters ;
doctors and reporters; preachers and
reporters; writers in periodicals and
reporters. A few have enjoyed a
university training. The best classic
/ know Is a Parliamentary reporter,
and was a student at Maynooth.

DTDS'T Know 1T WAS THERE
The Mobile Adrgtiser, having stated
the following story, is responsible
for I'll:
One of the municipal laws Of Cor
inth, Miss, forbids the running Of
railway trains through the town
"faster than a walk" Not long ago,
a freight train on the Mobile and
Ohio railroad was considerably be-
hind time, and the engineer deter
mined to dash on through Corinth
without stopping to shake hands with
the inhabitants. The municipal au-
thorities saw, with astonishmcnt and
indignation, the flying train pass,
and on its return the engineer was
arrested for violating "eity ordi-
nance" and was duly arraigned be-
fore the mayor.
"Were you the engineer Of the
train which dashed by here yesterday
without Stacking up?" asked the
Mayor.
81 was" said the engineer.
"And didn't you know il was
against the law for train to pass
through city at such speed as thatg'
II did," replied the steam-horse-
man, "but III be - If | knew
there was any city here"
The engineer went up for about
one months wages.

The BEAUTIFUL SSow.-A crusty
and disgusted southerner in Canada,
writes the following ode to the snow
and frost Of that country:
"0hl the frost, .he freezing frost,
biting our nose as We 90; all sense
Of feeling Is utterly lost, and our zest
for the beautiful snow. The North
crn king a tribute has wrung, In
shape Of n pcarly tear, which mo-
ment ago like dew-drop hung, from
the point often graced with a snecr.
OIL the frost, the delectable frost,
that finds US wherever we 90, wrap
ped in It's fearsome shroud like a
ghost, and conveying to our merid-
ian blood thorough disgust for
those sentimental donkeys who hyp-
ocritically pratc of the beautiful
snow.p

Not Always No.

W. were not always thus apart
Such weary miles bctweeu each heart
You darling love Of milne
When summer sweetness filed the air,
When skies were blue, like maidens eyes,
And gold like maldens hair,
When winds lay bound In chains of flowers
Aud Nature smiled through all the hours,
These ford lips answered mine.
! see the honey fate stores up
To mix In some more favored cup,
taste the gall ws drink,
And am sick with envious pain,
Fevers Of doubt consume my strength
And poison every vein,
"For Others, life's delight cry,
"jat only hurts for you and |;
And then pause and think.
We shall not ever parted be
BY mocking land and cruel sea,
IL on the shores Of Time,
fate's balcful power must hold sway,
"Let US be patientin God knows best
ave trust him" will we say,
And, for our faith, at Heavens broad gate
Well meet 10 never separate,
You darling love OF mine

A Lion IN HIS OLD AaE.-When
a young lion reaches the age of two
years he is able to strangle or pull
down horse or an OK; and so he
continues to grow and increase in
strength until his eigth year; and
his talons, teeth and mind are per-
feet, and he grows no more. For
twenty years after he arrives at ma
turity, his fangs and talons show no
signs Of decay; but after that he
gradually becomes feeble, his teeth
fail him and he becomes "cubbish." +"
He is no longer a match for the tre-
mendous buffalo; he is overmatched
even by the peaceful OK, SO he prowls
around the cattle kraals, and snatches
lamb or a kid, just as he did when
he set out with his parents, nearly
thirty years before. A woman or q
child at night shares the same fate.
His strength and sight now decline
more and more, till the mighty lion
grows lean and NANCY, and crawls
about from place to place, eating any
ofal he can pick up, and despising
not even as small an animal as a
field mouse; so he starves and dies,
or is fallen on and slaughtered by a
few cowardly hyenas; or is discov-
cred unable to move beneath tree,
and knocked on the head by some
wandering hunter.
