The Eate Of The knNstles.

All the Apostles were assaulted by the en-
emies of their Master. They were called to
seal their doctrines with their blood, and no.
bly, did they bear the trial. Schumacher
says
st. Matthew suffered martyrdom by being
slain with sword at q distant city Of Eth
opia.
St. Mark expired at Alexandria, after
having been cruelty dragged through the
streets Of that city.
St. Luke was hanged upon an olive tree
in the classic land Of Greece,
St. John was put in cauldron Of boiling
oil, but escaped death in miraculous man
ner and was afterward banislled to Patmos.
st. Peter was crucifed at Rome, with his
head downward.
St. James the Greater was beheaded at
Jerusalem.
St. James the Less was thrown from a lof-
ty pinnacle of the temple and then beaten to
death with fuller's club.
St. Bartholomew was fayed alive.
St. Andrew was bound to cross, whence
he preached to his followers until he died.
St. Thomas was run through the body
with lance, at Coromandel, in the East In
dies.
St. Jude was shot to death with arrows.
St. Matthias was first stoned and then be-
headed.
St. Barnabus of the Gentiles was stoned
to death by the Jews, at Solonica.
St. Paul, after various tortures and per-
secutions, was at length beheaded at Rome
by the Emperor Nero.
Such was the fate of the Apostles, accor-
ding to traditional statements.

William Smith is Georgia negro, who
started, by invitation, to lecture for Radical
ism in New England He relates his ex-
perience on the way until he got to Wash
ington, when ga light from heaven met
him, and he thought best to return we ex-
tract from his letter:
When T got to Washington, was tired
out and wanted dram So [ went to the
bar room and asked for one, as [ would do
in Macon The bar keeper looked at me,
raised his eyes and said. says he, enc Mig
gers allowed to drink at this bar" Says l.,

lily, and would you please tell me how can
get one p Says he: '.Thars perliceman
at the door, and if you give him the money
he will buy one for you" Then | went TO
the door, and pulled off my hat and stated
what l wanted. Says he, ''give me fifty
cents" which I did Then, says he, 1'you
stand here Then he went in and soon
brought out little whisky in tumbler, and
I drank it in the street Then STOPPED a
while to see if there was any change coming
and he says, says he, what is you waiting
for? Says little change. if you please.
Says he-clange hell-we don't wait on mig
gers for nothin up here.
Then encountered gentleman in high
place, holding an Office of both trust and hon
Or under the United States Government,
and J. assure you he talked very plain. Says
he, we Northern people have no use for ne
grocs We are willing yau should be free,
and have freed you, but as your equality no
tons, they are all stuff and nonsense. Do
you reckon would take you inside my house:
Do you reckon you could sit at my table
No you could not come inside my gate. You
negroes must learn to keep your place. The
South is the best place for you to live in. Il
you come North you will starve, for we have
no place for you here.
These few anecdotes will tell you, my col
ored friends, what the Northern sympathy
for us means. It is all a political hobby anc
there is nothing in it. It won't give you {
place by the white mans fre-os morse
at his table-or a bit of whisky in his bal
room, or a kind word, except he wants tt
use you. There's more kindness for the ne
groes among our old masters in the South
in day, than there is in a year among tn;
people up this way.

A Hebrew Missionary in Jerusalem


The Israelite, a Jewish paper in Cincln-
natl, contains an interesting account OF a
mission to Jerusalem undertaken by dis
tinguished Israelite, named Hyman Moses
The Israelite says:
'tAll reports concur in this point, that the
persons now composing the Hebrew popula-
ton of Palestine, especially the poor, are
unfit to earn livelihood either in their coun-
try or elsewhere. They learn no trade, no
spoken language, none of the necessary ru-
diments of common education, and marry
at the age Of fifteen, to increase the number
Of their families in order to claim larger
portion Of the charities.
1.-THE immigrants from all parts Of the
civilized world are the same class of imprac-
teal men. pious pilgrims. who consider it a
religious duty to live and to die On the sa-
cred soil, and others who have subsisted on
charity at home, and do the same in Pales-
tine. They maintain that, by their prayers
and their reading of the Talmud, they ben
eft the Israelites all over the world, and
look upon themselves as a class Of medita-
tors, an Office so foreign to Judaism, between
the God of Palestine and the people Of Is
rael
'sMr Hyman Moses, an old and well to
do gentleman, left his family and his ease,
and then went in person to the Holy Land,
to see that the gifts Of generous donors
should be properly applied
On arriving near Jerusalem, Mr.. Moses
was received by a large procession headed
by rabbis and escorted to the Jewish quar-
ter of the city. He was overwhelmed by
petitions for help in all forms, and distribu-
ted 1925 frances among the people and
their various charitable institutions. There
are about 5000 poor Hebrews in the city.
The money was spent much faster than the
demand for charity was exhausted, and Mr..
Moses was SO overrun with petitions, that he
left Jerusalem after stay of six days. He
says the condition of the city is most miser-
able. Old and dilapidated houses shelter 6
portion only of the inhabitants many ofthen
have no shelter. No business or industry
Of and kind distinguishes the thoroughfaref
Of the ancient capital Of David and Solomon
Worse than that is the condition of the coun
try. The highways are infested with rob
bers, Agriculture is at a low ebb, because
there is no profession against robbers ano
murderers, to whose mercy the agriculturis
is exposed The land is wilderness, an6
the cities are ruins inhabited by heggars.-
| The most blessed of countries is in the low
est condition the key to the interior of Asi;
/ is in the hands of Bedouins.

A Western Sermon.

The following unique discourse was deliv-
cred to congregation Of Saints at Salt Lake
by novitiate who had labored in one of our
new Territories:
Brothers and Sisters have a very prac-
teal but searching discourse to bring before
YOU this morning, and one which is of great
personal importance to all Therefore most
earnestly desire you to pay the strictest at
tention to my words
Ny text is: "Why stand ye here all the
day idle?''
Perhaps some have not heard me, and |
will repeat again; "Why stand ye here all
the day idle p
For the benefit Of that man who has just
come in, ! will repeat again, for the last
time. why stand ye here all the day idle 2"
Wig, Why, why =? Why not it? Why not
it? Why not of? Why not because?
Why stand? Wig stand? Why not sit :?
Why not lie ? Why not kneel Why not
stoop?
Why stand ye. Why ye? Why not me?
Why not she? Why not it? Why not that
dog? Why not that woman sitting in the
corner
Why stand ye here, Why here, Why not
there? Why not down cellar Why not up
garnet? Why not in that church yonder?
Here he pauses and says Il don't know
how you feel, brothers and sisters, but do
wish some one would open window"
Why stand ye here all? Why all s? Why
not part? Why not half dozen? Why not
one
A young woman has just entered the gal
lery, and for her especial benefit | will re-
peat my text, in order that she may fully
understand what we are discussing,
why stand ye here all the day idle y
Why stand ye here all the day? Why the
day? Why not the night? Why not the
morning? Why not the evening
Lastly and finally.
Why stand ye here all the day idle? Why
idle? Why not at work ? Why not sowing 7
Why not reaping Why not spinning Why
not weaving? Why not washing? Why not
ironing? Why not scrubbing? Why not dig
ging?
My Brothers and Sisters: have exerted
myself to great extent in order that you
might leave this house Of worship fully i'm
pressed with the sense Of duty imposed upon
you, and hoping that have not wearied you
and / am very sure that / have mott
bid you good morning.

A REPORT OF INTEREST TO PHYSICIANS

A REPORT OF INTEREST TO PHYSICIANS
Apropos of the ice-poultice cure in sea sick
ness, we notice that an Irish medical Journal
reports case of successful treatment of de-
lirium tremens by this remedy. The ice was
applied from the fourth cervical down to the
first lumbar vertcbra In short time the
following phenomena were observed /; The
induction of sleep 2. The diminution, and
finally the disappearance of the tremors. 8.
The regulation Of the hearts action. 4. The
cessation of sweating. 5. The production OF
rise in temperature all over the body, with
a return of the natural color to the face.
The patient fell asleep soon after the appli-
cation, and slept the greater part Of three
days, during which time the ice-bag was APP
piled three times daily. He always found it
TO strengthen him, and said it made him
feel as fresh as ever. 1t was discontinued
for the reason that it caused so much de-
preston of the circulation. Recovery was
rapid ana complete, without the use of
stimulants.

A New WAY TO SAVE MONEY 1t is said
that economy is wealth, and if SO, we think
the parties to whom we refer should become
immensely wealthy, and that very soon. A
married couple residing in the Sixth Ward,
having the misfortune to lose an infant child
by death, concluded not to inter the body
here, but 10 carry it to their former home
Baltimore, Nd for interment, and the
mode selected to get the body to that city
without paying therefor was novel but dis
gushing. The mother attired the dead body
in the usual infants dress, and taking the
same in her arms. started off for the depot,
purchased ticket, and in due time was Ian
ded in Baltimore with her apparently living
child. On the journey the face of the infant
was kept partially covered. and no one sus-
pect for moment but that the little one was
alive and sleeping quietly Hash. Star.

AFTER THE BATTLE.

Aswaste of land, sodden plain,
A lurid sunset sky,
Mild clouds that fled ana faded fast,
In ghostly phantasy.
A field upturned by trampling feet,
A field uppiled with slain,
With horse and rider blent in death,
Upon the battle plain.
The dying and the dead lie low;
For them no more shall rise
The evening moon, nor midnight stars,
Nor daylights soft surprise.
They wake no more to tenderest call,
Where waiting hearts shall throb and break
When this days tidings come.
n y
Two soldiers lying as they fell
Upon the Redeemed clay,
In daytime foes, at night at peace.
Breathing their lives away.
Brave hearts had stirred each manly breast,
Fate only made them foes;
And lying, dying, side by side
A softer feeling rose.
sour time is Short" one faint voice said,
ssTo-day we did our best
On different sides; what matter now?
Tomorrow we're at rest.
Life lies behind might not care
For only my own sake,
But far away are other hearts
That this days work will break.
Among New Hampshire's many hills
There pray for me tonight
A woman, and little girl,
With hair like golden light
And at the thought, broke forth at last
The cry of anguish wild,
That would not longer be repressed-
'.Oh God! my wife-my child -
"And,' said the other dying man,
'Across the Georgia plain,
There watch and wait for me loved ones
I'll never see again.
Alittle child with dark bright eyes,
Each day waits at the door
The fathers step. the fathers kiss
That never greet her more.
s.To-day we sought each others lives
Death levels all that now:
For soon, before Gods mercy seat
Together we shall bow.
Forgive each other while we may:
Life's but q weary game;
And Fight or wrong, to-morrow's sun
Will find us dead the same"
The dying lips the pardon breathe,
The dying hands entwine;
The last ray dies, and over all
The stars from Heaven shine;
And the little girl with golden hair,
The one with dark eyes bright,
On Hampshires hill and Georgia's plain
Were fatherless that night.

A BEAUTIFUL Custom In the Mountains
of Tyrol, it is the custom of the women and
children to come out, when it is bed time,
and sing national songs until they hear their
husbands, fathers, and brothers answer them
from the hill on their return home. On
the shores Of the Adriatic such q custom pre-
walls. There the wives Of the fishermen come
down about sunset and sing melody. At
ter singing the first stansa. they listen awhile
for the answering strain from off the water,
and continue to sing and listen till the we'll
L"awn voices come borne on the tide, tell
ing that the loved ones a ase almost home
How sweet to the weary fisherman, as the
shadows gather round him, must be the
songs of the loved ones at home, who sing to
cheer him, and how they strengthen and
tighten the bonds that bind together humble
dwellers by the sea. Truly tits among the
lowly in the world that we find some Of the
most beautiful customs in practice.
