The following is a copy of the most mem
orable judicial sentence which has ever been
pronounced in the annals of the world
namely, that of death against the Saviour

ever been published 1t is word for word
as follows:

| This sentence is engraved on a plate Of
brass in the Hebrew language, and on its
sides are the following words: ga similar
plate has been sent to each tribe"
It was discovered in the year 1920, in the
Kingdom of Naples, by a search made for
Roman antiquities, and remained there I'M
til it was found by the Commission of Arts
in the French army in Italy. Up to the
time of the campaign in Italy it was preserv-
ed in the sacristy of the Carthusians, neal
Naples, where it was kept in a box of ebony
Since then the relic has been in the chapel
of Caserta The Carthusians obtained, by
their petitions, permission to keep the plate,
which was an acknowledgment of the sacri-
fees which they made for the French army
The French translation was made literally
by the members of the Commission of Arts
Demon had fac sinaile Of the plate engrav-
| ed, which was bought by Lord Howard, on
the sale of his cabinet, for 92,800. There
seems to be no historical doubt as to the au-
thenticity of this. The reasons of the SEN
tence correspond exactly with those in the
Gospel Translated from the KoHdsche
Zeitung.
! An Example.
We know young man, native of Mis-
sissippi, who was born to afluence, as his
great grandfather, Virginia gentleman,
had been before him He was about seven
teen years old when the war ended up to
which time he had lived in q luxurious home,
utS 1dtlC1' RSfV4C TIC Wd1 utfIH yearly
income Of not less than thirty thousand dol
lars in gold, all of which he spent on his
home and its inmates His children never
had a wish for anything that money could
buy that it was not anticipated The war
left the father with nothing but his land
for both armies had passed near his planta-
ton, and his stock and household furniture
had disappeared passed, what was left,
under the auctioneers hammer for Confed-
crate money. And even the land was not
his, for old security debts claimed and OBJ
tanned mortgage on that.
What did our young hero do, for he is wor-
thy Of the name, under such circumstances.
He took his hands out of his pockets and
put them to the pillow. By his individual
labor he planted and cultivated five acres Of
Gotten and fifteen Of corn, besides an acre
or two in popcorn and peanuts,
Work was hard for him at irst-very
hard. As he told the writer II thought
| never would learn to hoe. My hands
would pain me so that would almost weep
but before the summer was out could hoe
row with the best hand in Mississippi"
He had good land, bringing full bale o.
cotton or thirty to thirty-fve bushels of corr
to the acre, and his years work has nettee
him from $500 to 81 900. He is now 60
ing to school in Virginia on the proceeds.
, Were the example of that young man fol
lowed generally by our southern youth, how
rapidly this country would recuperate ano
enjoy material prosperity unknown to it il
