greatest wholesale butcher that humanity
ever heard of. He plundcred and mas
sacred without distinction OF religion and
sex, and his track was marked with blood,
desolation, famine ard pestience. Ar
ungzcbe was little better towards the Hin
docs. Tippoo Said circumcised all the
Brahmins he could get hold of, and it Is
said sixty thousand Christians were sub

seven days! his guards were not even

of dead bodies drove them out of the
city A great part Of the buildings were
reduced to ashes, and thousand who esS
capped the sword, suffered lingering
death by famine, sitting upon the ruins OF
their smoking tenements. Thus n city,
extending thirty-four miles in length, and
conta lining two millions of inhabitants,
became heap of ruins. The historians
Of the day have handed down to posterity
the most appalling descriptions of human
suffering, of women and men whipped
through the streets with tortures, citizens
fleeing from their dearest friends as from
beasts OF prey. for fear of being devoured
amidst general starvation; women feed
ing on their own children. and infants
sucking at the breasts of their deceased
mothers. Fire and sword seemed to con-
tend for preeminence in the work of havoc
amp destruction; the work Of war and
blood was perpetual human heads piled
in pyramids, and the streets of cities
and towns rendered impossible by heaps
of slain, The country in many places
exhibited few signs of being inhabited,
save in the bones of murdered bodies, and
the ruins of villages. and temples. AL
law and religion trodden under foot, bonds
of private friendship as well as of society
broken, and every individual as if amidst
forest Of wild beasts, could rely upon
nothing hut the strength Of his own arm,
or the deep villsiny of his nature. 5..

How OLD REED WAS CoNyEnYrp -.
The New York correspondent OF a
Western paper tells the following story
Tor the benefit ofsomc hard cases
lie says he once know man by the
name OF Reed, commonly known as "Old
Reod." Reed was quite notorious in his
way, and his religious belief was that af7
ter death he should reappcar in the form
| OF an animal and he thought it would be
horse.
Old Reed was hard man and was
not in the habit of treating his family
well as a religious man should.
One day after his wife had suffered his
abuse as long as humanity could endure
she concluded TO give him brief talking
to-to touch upon his religious belief.
So, resolutely seating herself by his
side, and looking him full in the face,
while tear drop glistencd in her
cyc-ior she was serious and thought
perhaps he was correct in his faith she
commenced.

THE NICE Girl. As with her male

a nice girl is one whose appearance and

her nose having just the bridgy curve of
beauty which suggests and explains my

MARRYING MAXMs "A good wife is the
greatest earthly blessing. A man is what
his wife makes him. Il is the mother
who moulds the character and destiny of
the child.
Make marriage a matter Of moral judg-
ment.
Marry in your own religion.
Marry into a different blood and lem
permanent from your own,
Marry into family which you have
long known.
Never talk at one another. either alone
or in company
Never both manifest anger at once.
Never speak loud to one another unless

Let self abnegaticn be the daily ain
