Few words will suffice have but to repeat the same words

If instead wealth you accursed would buy her of

For by his spendor swear by my vaor swear by

Of which, like the last lonely oaks of great wood we're lett

Thus Mugha retorted his wrath to Eodga enraged;
And the multitude moved like tempest fleet in

Some crimson with rvarous anger and very pale,
Reared out the Sun that iron alone could their wrath be
assuaged.
First the brethren glanced at each other then pointed away

WESTERN SIMPLICITY.

Western simp!icity-not greenness,
but genuine candor and character ARE
to be Gen in the following incident,
furnished some time since by West
ern correspondent:
In wild Western neighborhood the
sound of a church going bell had never
been heard notice was given that the
Rev. Mr.. A, distinguished Pres
byterian divine, would preach on
certain day.
The natives, who consisted mainly
of those hardy pioneers who have pre-
ceded civilization, came to hear him.
They had an indistinct idea that
"preachin" was something to be heard,
and all attended TO hear it.
After the service had begun a raw
boned hunter, with rifle in hand, and
all the accoutrements of thechase about
him, entered and took the only seat
nail keg without either head. The
current of the preachers thought led
him into description of heaven and
its inhabitants. With great power he
had drawn picture of the habitation
of the blessed, and was assigning each
of the patriarchs, apostles and prophets
his place. His Calvinistic tendencies
aed him to reserve the Apostle Paul for
his climacteric. With his eye fixed
upon the highest point, and with an
upward gesture that seemed to be di-
rected to the loftiest attitude of the
heavenly places, he said
land where, my brethren, shall we
seat the great Apostle of the Gentiles?
where, L say, shall we place the Apos-
tie Paul ?"
Then pausing to give the imagina-
ton time to reach the elevation de-
signed for the Apostle, he fixed his
eyes upon our hero Of the rife. He,
therefore, thinking the address per-
sonal, rose instantly, and then replied
eff he can't do no better he can take
my seat"
1t is needless to say that the climax
wa snever reached.

A GOOD WoMAN.-Years may pass
over her head, but if benevolence and
virtue dwell in her heart, she is as
cheerful as when the spring of life
opened to her view. When we look
at a good woman we never think of
her age; she looks as charming as when
the rose Of youth first bloomed upon
her cheek. That rose has not faded
yet it will never fade. In her neigh
borhood she is the friend and benefac-
tress. Who does not love and respect
the woman who has passed her days in
acts of kindness and mercy? We re-
peat, such a woman never can grow
old. She will always be fresh and
buoyant in spirits, and active in hum
BILE deeds of mercy and benevolence.

REWARDS OFFERED FOR STEPHEN

REWARDS OFFERED FOR STEPHENS,
DEAD OR ALIVE.-The Fenian chief is
evidently held in great dread by the
British Government, for besides the re-
ward of five thousand dollars in gold
offered for his apprehension by the
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, the Brit
ish Government itself has now offered
reward of $4,000 in gold to any per-
son, "man or woman, young Or DID,"
who will deliver up the body of Ste
phens, "dead or alive" If the Irish
cannot gain their independence, they
can at least frighten their oppressors.

GOOD LOGIC FOR A LITTLE OSE.-A
lady has bright-eyed four-year old
boy, who stood looking out of the Win
dow at the richly tinted sunset clouds
in the West the other evening. His
mother sat in the room busy writing,
when he asked: Mamma, who made
the pretty clouds?" "God made them"
''Who made the light, mamma"
"God made it." GLOW did he make
?" "God put the sun up in the heav-
ems, nd so made the light" After a
pause" Mamma, whomakes it dark"'
"Oh, 1 don't know-don't bother me" "
"Well-I know-I know how He
makes it dark. He 5lo2Cs the san om?'

A CONSTABLE was stationed at the
