TRYING TO MAKE A CHRISTIAN Ma
TTON

Good Intentions even when recorded by brave
attempts at execution, are not always sufficient
for the accomplishment of worthy ends. 1t is
highly honorable, for instance, to aim at the
reconstruction of society on the basis that every
human being is or ought TO be Christian But
it is a stubborn fact"-a very mule of fact
that most men are not Christians and do not
really wish to be Christians. Say "ought" to an
average man and he replies cant" which
means won't. 1t is idle to attempt to make this
n Christian nation by acknowledging God in the
Constitution, or by enactng laws farin advance of
the average moral sentiment of the people
Such provisions must be generally disregarded,
thus making Christianity, as embodied in politi-
cal forms, mockery. We hope that Christian
ity will one day be recognized in all constitu-
tions and laws and methods of public instruc-
tion and of private business, but that hope is
founded on the expectation that the whole world
will then be converted to Christ, and that such
recognition, unanimously and voluntarily
adopted, will have no SAVIOR of hypocrisy about
it. We look forward to that time when upon
everything shall be written "Holiness unto the
Lord" as to the day of completion, the day
when the capstone of the temple shall be laid
by Christ himself But to anticipate that day
by constitutional recognitions of God the Father
and Christ the Saviour is like hanging cap
stone high in the air and fastening other stones
TO it, instead of building up from foundation
in solid earth. We must build up from the
Christ within us the hope of glory, not down
from Christ hanging upon the vote of an ire
ligious majority.

LINES ON A SKELETON.
Behold this ruinl Twas a skull,
Once of ethereal spirit full
This narrow cell was lifes retreat,
This space was thoughts mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filed this spot
What dreams of pleasure long forgot
Nor hope nor love, nor JOY nor fear
Have left one trace or record here.
Beneath that mouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye.
But start not at the dismal void:
II social love that eye employed,
II with no lawless fire it CLEANED,
But through the dew of kindness beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and suns are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue.
II falsehood's honey It disdained,
And wbes it could not praise was chained,
II bold in virtues cause II spoke
Yet gentle concord never broke,
That silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils eternity.
Bay, did those fingers delve the mine!
Or with its envied rubies shine?
TO hew the rock or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to them,
But IL the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought
The hands richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on wealth or fame.
Avails it whether bare or shod
Those feet the paths of duty trod?
II from the halls of ease they fed
To seek afliction's humble shed,
II grandeur's guilty bribe they spurned
And home to virtues cot returned,
Those feet with angels ways shall vie,
And tread the palace of the sky.

William Bache, Il private In the u. ).
Army at Newport Barracks, WAS tried as
deSsrter and condemned to one years
imprisonment at hard labor. The same
evening he had been sent down with
others, to the edge of the Licking river
TO assist in the filling Of the tubs, on
which the garrison is now dependent for
its water supply, armed sentinels as
usual, accompanying the party. A
moment after reaching the river bank,
Bache plunged headlong into the stream
and began swimming for the opposite
shore. The sentinels fired hastily and
carelessly, and missed the strong swim
mer, who rapidly widened the distance
between himself and danger The guard
rushed to the scene upon hearing the
firing, but when they were prepared to
open fire upon the deserter the latter
was about 800 yards up stream, and well
away toward the Covington shore. When
the guard opened fire there was rattle
of musketrv like the coming from skir-
mish line, and the bullets fell thick and
fast around the head of the swimmer.
The excitement at this moment was
intense. Both banks of the river were
crowded with people, assembled to hear
the music of the band at parade and
witness the military display, little ex-
pecting to be present at a shooting trial
in which the target was a human life.
The sympathies of the people seemed
to be with the deserter, and many a
heart beat hard and fast as Bache, reach
ed the shore unhurt, rose erect, and
pause | exhausted, or, perhaps, with a
wonderful presence of mind that saved
his life. Certain is it that the slightest
movement toward further escape would
have been the signal for his death, for
twenty muskets had the range of his
body, now wholly exposed to the fire.
At the command of the officer of the
day, the guard ceased firing, but kept
their mark covered, while detail of
four men went over in skiff and recap
tured the desperate prisoner, who was
taken back and placed in irons.

he looked upon the strong man thus
PROSTATE before him. He visited the
patient daily and his very life seemed
to hang upon Gardeners recovery, and
when the danger was passed, the long
fever which ensued was broken, and the
engineer began to recover, the Supt. was
as happy as IA child.
| may say, in conclusion, that the III
cident was not without its result, for at
once the Valley Road was thoroughly
rebuilt in the best possible manner, new
ly stocked and is to-day one of the best
roads in the country, running its trains
on time and giving great delight to the
