The Bible i'm Schools.

f
AS a general thing people who do
not believe the Bible, claim to be
very liberal In sentiment and very
tolerant OF other peoples opinions. =
This profession does not harmonize
very well with the practice of those
who are making SO much opposition
TO the reading Of that Book in the
Schools. Those opposers of the
Billie, are In this, but exhibiting the
fanaticism they so much condemn In
Bible readers and Bible believers, and
show that they fear the very book
they pretend to tiespise. Like every
other species Of fanaticism, 1t viii
defeat itself. Children finding out
there isa book they are not allowed
to read I'm schools, will get II to read
out Of school. These anti Bible men
would mot object, we presume. to the
use of the writings of Tom Paine
and V0ltaire in schools. BE consis-
tent gentlcmen.--J f-Greyor Nvr-.

A few years ago there lived In the

whom we will.c Joe, WHO had fre-
quently imbibed more than he could
comfortably carry. There also re-
sided In the neighborbood painter
named w, who kept saloon,
Now w. was a great practical Joker.
On one occasion Joe came to WIS
saloon, and rather early i'm the morn
ing got very much intoxicated, and
finally fell asleep In his chair. joe
was very near sighted, and always
wore specs. After he had slept some
time. w. took off his specs, black>
ened the glasses, put them back
again, lighted the lamps, aud then
awoke Joe, telling him IL was twelve
O'Clock at night and he wanted to
shut up. Joe stared around and re-
marked THAT he had slept some time.
w. then said, "Joe, 1t Is very dark,
and II you will bring 1t back will
lend you lantern" Thercupon w.
lighted lantern, gave IL to Joe, and
helped him up the stairs. Joe went
Off toward home (up tile main busi-
ness street), in the middle of the day,
with bis lantern, every body looking
ut him, and wondering what was the
matter,
