A PUzzLE-Here Isl question Tor
young ari,hmeticians' and others who
like to crack an aritmctical nut now and
then, to try their wits upon:
Two Arabs sat down to dinner, and
were accostcd by a stranger, whorequest-
ed to join the party, saying "shat as he
could not get provisions to buy in that
part of the country, if they would admit
him to eat ouly an equal share with
themselves, he would willingly pay them
for the whole" The frugal meal consist.
ed of eight small loavcs of bread, FIVE OF
which belonged to one of the Arabs, and
three to the other. Thestranger having
eaten third part of the eight loaVes,
arose and laid before them eight pieces
of money, saying: "My friends there Is
what promised you; divide it between
you according to your just rights. A
dispute arose, of course, respecting
division of the money; but reference
being made to the cadi, he adjudged
seven peiccs to the owner of five loaves
and only one piece to him who had
owned the three loaves. Yet the cad
decided justly.

She told her story with the simplicity

directness about it which CARRIED con-
viction of the truth to every heart. She
was rigidly cross examined. The coun-
sci piled her with infinite and ingenious
questions, but she varied from her first
statement in nothing. The truth as
spoken by the child was sublime. False
hood and perjury had preceded her tes-
timony. The prisoner had intrenched
himselfin lies, until he deemed himself
'impregnable. Witnesses had falsi6ed
fact in his favor, and villaiuly had man
ufactured for him sham defense. But
before her testimony falsehoods were
scattered like chaf. The little child,
for whom mother had prayed for
strength to be given her to speak the
truth as it was before God, broGe the

scquies of the late Mr.. James Rose took
place at St. Pauls Church, Radc!if-
feboro, at 9 o'clock, yesterday. Mr..
Rose had been large STAKEHOLDER, and
his funeral was attended BY consider;

the family. When the body was to be
removed from the house to the hearae,
several of them, whilst the appointed
pall-bearcrs were ready to take charge

family the privilege of bearing the body
to the hearse. This testimony of at.
fectiopate remembrance was met in a
corresponding spirit, and the pail bear

THE POWER OF TRUTH.

The following beautiful illustration OF
the simplicity and power of truth is
from the pen of s. H. Hammond, form,
erly editor of the Albany State Register.
He was eyewitness of the scene in one
Of the higher courts
A little girl, nine years of age, was
offered as witness against prisoner
who was on trial for felony committed
in her fathers house. ..
'Now Emily said the counsel for
the prisoner, upon her being offered as
as q witness, Il desire to know If you
understand the nature of an OATH
L don't know what you mean,' was
the simple answer.
There, your honor said the coun-
sci, addressing the court, lis anything
further necessary to demonstrate the
validity Of my objection The witness
should be rejected. She does not COM
prehend the nature of an OATH
Let US see,' said the Judge. Come
here, my daughter .
Assured by the the kind tone and
manner of the judge, the child stepped
forward to him, aud looked confidently
up in his face, with calm, clear eye,
and 10 q manner so artlcss and frank
that it went straight to the heart.

the judge. The little girl stepped back
with look of horror, aud the red blood

On the contrary, that mystery'which en-
velopes every thing, teaches that the
hand that made the universe is divine.
Is there sane man any place on the
globe who will say that thereis no sand,
OF that sand is not sand, or that God did
not make sand, because there is some
thing mysteriously about sandf !,
4 To reject the Bible because we can
not understand it, is erysilly. Nine
tenths of all the practical truth that
any man possesses are mere. matters OF.
faith. Even those thing which are the
inventions of man, are not fully under
stood by those who practice them. Men
can and do practice things which they
do not fully understand, with profit to
themselves and those with whom they
come in coutact. If no man would do
anything which he did not fully under
stand, the most industrious would fold
his arms in idleness. The blacksmith,
would never make his anvil ring; the
farmer would never plant one grain OF
corn, because there is much about these ,
professions that is past his skill to un-
derstand. The man who rejects the
Bible because of its mysteriousness, to.
be consistent, ought to reject everything
10 art and science, especially in science,
for science and the Bible make known
the same truth but in different way.
Everything in science points to God,
the author of all; every in the Bible
points to God who,, in the beginning,
created all things.
