FORTY years ago, there was living in
Westtield an old man, Deacon Fowler,
good man and just. In extreme old
age his mind was broken 80 that he
could not remember the days OF tho
week. One Sabbath morning he carried
pail to u cooper living near, 10 be re-
paired. He was told that it was the
Sabbath, when he went home in great
distress. Early the next morning he
called upon his pastor, Rev. N. J..
Knapp, to acquaint him with what hs
had done, and ~ for an opportunity to
make a public confession OH the COM
ing Sabbath. His pastor tried to COM
fort him, and finally said, ''fou did not
mean to do wrong, you forgot that il
was Sunday" That" said the old
man, "Is the very thing'v want 70 con.
fess; for the commandment IL, 'Ren,em-
Der the Sabbath day to keep 1t holy"
No'ut. When we attempt to justify
an act, we should take care that the OK
cuse does OF describe the wrong doing.

Genius and Thought.

intimate friend: 'Men give me some
credit for genius ~! the genius l have
lies just in this: When l have "a sub.

effort which l make the people are
pleased to call the fruit of genius. 1t is
the fruit Of labor and thought"
Mr.. Webster once replied to a gen
tleman who pressed him to speak on a
subject of great Importance: The
subject interestsme deeply, but L have
no time. There sir,' pointing to a
huge pile of letters on the table, "is a
pile Of unanswered letters to which
must reply before the close Of this ses.

THE HoHsE.-The front of the horses
chest contains his iungs, by which he
breathes. Behind them sc parated only
by IL thin kind of skin, is the stomach,
destined to receive and digest the food.
Each of these organs becomes larger
when in use; the lungs occupying more
room when the animal is moving about
and breathing more quickly. The space
they occupy is then 80 filed that only
one of them can be distendsd ut II time.
The horse can swell out his lungs, and
breathe hard, trot, or gaiiop fast, provid-
ed his stomach be empty; he can fill 1t
with safety when at rest, or nearly so,
ill the food IS digested. But they are
both full, the greatest danger is to be APP
pretended; the horse is sure to be
'blown' almost immediately, because
he has no room to breathe, and apo
pleNy may cause the animal to drop dead
in a minute. No horse should be allow
, ed to get an unlimited supply of food
A proper quantity should be given and
no more-enough to satisfy his require
ments, and then to allow proper time K,

having been left open at night, thus

By our Texas exchanges Of the.
latest date we learn that w. B.
Loveland, of Houston, Texas, an
old and worthy citizen, was brn-.
tally murdered by a burglar OH
the night of the 1st inst. Before.
closing his store for the evening,
aud while in the act of doing SO,
it appears from the Coroner's in
quest and the testimony adduced,
he was assailed with an iron dray
pin, his skull being badly fractur-
ed. The premises were closed by
the murderer or murderers, and,
though the deceased failed to full
fill an engagement for the eve
ming at the Odd Fellows Lodge,
Of which he was an officer, and
customarily punctual attendant,
nothing was suspected until the
next day. The, premises being
opened, he was found as described.
He was an old and universally
respected citizen. His assassina-
ton created deep feeling, and tha
Order took measures promptly for.
the care of bis remains, and the
full investigation of the atrocious
means-by which he came to his
death. E-I
Mr.. Loyeland held a life insu-
rance policy in the Widow and
Orphans Fund Life Insurance Com
pany of Nashville. The papers
necessary to its adjustment were
promptly transmitted, and the de-
mand of the policy has been as
promptly satisfied.

The Ruling Passion" Ra
ther Strong.

The following is q temperance
lecture in a few words, Ehich
thousands of dreary platitudes and
solid truths Illuminated from the
pulpit and rostrum, could not e.
quail:
At the May term of the Conn
mon Pleas Court of Cuyahogs
county, Ohio, Michael Lynch was
convicted of horse stealing, and
sentenced to the Penitentiary for
a term of three years. The CO.
lumbus Journal says the crime
was committed while the accused
was intoxicated, and last summer
a petition was presented to Govern
or Hayes, asking for the pardon of
Lynch, representing that his char
acter when sober was. very good,
and expressing the. opinion. thatt
pardoned, the. prisoner would give
up, the. use of intoxicating liquors,
and. be, as he had been, good cit
izen. On the 9th of October,
Lynch was pardoned on condition
that he abstain from the use of in.
.toxicating liquors for the term Of
his sentence to the Penitentiary,
that is for three years from May,
1869. He went to Cleveland,
but failed to comply with the con-
ditionsof his pardon. A few days
after his release be drank to excess,
became brutally intoxicated, and
conducted. himself in. such disor-
derly manner. as. to, lead to his ar
rest as a dangerous man. The
Cleveland authorities discovering
that the conditions of his pardon
had been. disregarded, returned
him on Saturday to, the Peniten-
tiary for failing to comply with a
conditional pardon, although there
have been one or two. cases IN
which pardons have been revoked.
The conditions in this case were.
more properly made. The argu.
ment was that the man was good
citizen except when he was intox-
icated, otherwise he was q horse
thief. If be would remain sober
there was good reason for pardon.
If he would not there was every ar.
gument in favor of Imprisonment.
He was to choose between three.
years of sober life or three years
He chose the lat.

"BELow Par" in the article
from the Philadelphia Age, on the
recent Supreme Court decision,
Confederate money is spoken of
as having been "many hundred
per cent. below par" Now, as
. one hundred per cent. is one hun
,dred per hundred, it appears to a
plain matter.of fact mind that
when currency has declined to
that point it cannot get any lower,
yet careless writers are incessantly
committing the blunder we have
noted. If there ever were case
of paper being more than a hun
.dred per cent. below par, it must
have been the notorious Brandon
money of Mississippi, concerning
which it is related that a man who
had a pocket-book full which he
could uot get rid Of at any price,
hid it under a log, but partially
exposed, in the hopes that some.
body would steal it. A few days
afterwards, passing by, he found
his pocket book still there, will
