The Order for the Execution Of Jesus Christ

Among the manuscripts which were
probably burned in the recent conf1agration
of the Archppiscopal Palace at Bourges,
in France, the order for the execution of
Jesus Christ, which was the personal prop
erty the family De La Tour d'Auvergne.
The order runs thus:
2 "Jesus of Nazareth, of the Jewish tribe
of Juda convicted of imposture and re-
bellion against the divine authority of I'll
berius Augustus, Emperor of the Romans,
having for this sacrilege been condemned
to die on the cross by sentence of the
judge, Pontius Plate, ON the prosecution
of our lord, Herod, Lieutenant of the En-,
peror in Judea, shall be taken tomorrow
morning, the 23d day of the ides of March.
to the usual place of punishment, under
the escort of company of the PretOrian
guard. The so-called King of the Jews
shall be taken out by the Strunean gate.
Ali the public officers and the subjects of
the Emperor are directed to lend their aid
to the execution of this sentence.
[Signed] CAPEL.

'eecher and the LORDS Prayer.

NM DUCCHtF anu Tie LOfU'S FFdytF.
All the things that you need for your
self, or for your children, traced back, are
found, in their initial forms, in this Lord s
Prayer. This is birthright prayer, be-
longing to every man. A gate tits, through
which every living soul may pass. Each
petition is a separate gate. And beyond is
an infinite variety of blessed things
These gates open, as it were, into garden
where are growing fruits and flowers in
wonderful profusiOn. Endless diversities
of things are there and all of them are
appropriate to the utterance of this prayer.

Mr.. Spurgeon has printed / 900 different
sermons delivered by himself, 20,000,000
copies of which have been distributed in
the English language alone. Some of
them have been translated into most of
the languages of Christendom. He recent
ly told his congregation that each pulpit
effort cost him at least forty-eight hours
pain.
The American Baptist Historical Socie-
ty is preparing for its archieves a series of
volumes to serve as historical souvenirs of
the Baptist ministry. Every clergyman
of the denomination is called upon to fur
nish one written sermon with the date of
delivery, and the writer's photograph and
signature. They are to be bound together
according to Association lines, so far as can
be-.
A Scottish clergyman thought his peo-
pie were making rather an unconscionable
objection to his using manuscript in de-
livering his sermon. They urged, "What
gars We talk up your bit papers to the
pu'pit?''
- He replied that it was best, for really he
could not remember his sermons, and
must have his paper.

MEssRs. J. n. HARRIS & Co., Cincinnati, Ohio:
Gentlemen-I heard of my customers speak in
such high terms of Aliens Lung Basam to-day, that
thought would write YOU the substance of his state
ment: He says his mother, who is sixty years of
age, has suffered with consumption for several years,
and has been under the of all our best physicians
but never received auy permanent benefit; then she
resorted to most every kind of Cough and Lung Bal
sam that could be procured for her. but all to avail
She still worse until she was confined to her bed;
and when she seized with paroxysm of coughing
she would lose the power of respiration and they
compelled to resort to to restore BREATH
ing; and while she cOughed so hard she could not
pectorate anything, and the family and friends had
the advertisement of Aliens Lung Basam IN the
Christian Advocate and they thought they would pro-
cure and try it. They commenced giving her the Ball
sam at O'Clock NJ, as directed, dose every hour
until mdnight then she took another spell of cough
ing and expectOrated mouth full of dark yellow mat
ter which something she had not been able to do
for time. They continued to give her the Basam
until morning and then she began expectorate free
w. and within two hours she had eXpecorated three
pints of mucus matter, which gave her Immediate
lief and since that time she has continued to improve.
She now sits up all day, and can walk about the house
and take considerable outdoor exercise Her
bought more of the Balsam to-day and he is re ON
mending it very highly to every one. d. b..

denomination OfICrant.

Tuesdays New York Herald has a series
of "interNit ws" with number of leading
statesman and politicians i'm regard TO the
next Pres idency The expressions ofopin-
ion from all these sources are quite uniform
rs to the denomination of President Grant
as viii be seen by the following extracts
SENATOR MORTON.
"Do you think the Democrats have any
chance for electing the next President ?'
Not the slightest. The people don't
feel liketrusting them yet. General Grant
will, of course, be renominated by the Re
publicans, and feel certain that he will
be elected 10y n majority larger than he re-
ceived the first time. That, think, is q
foreyone conclusion
"Will there he any opposition to Grants
denomination among the Republicans ?"
No; it's too late for that now. There
may have been time when that would
have been possible, but IL is not now, The
country has settled down to the conviction
that Grant is the best man we can get, and
the people are ready to vote for him for IA
second term. What can be said against
him? Even the Democrats have nothing,
except some little personal matters that
nobody thinks of seriously for u moment
SENATOR TRUMBULL. ...
What about the Republican nomination
for the Presidency?n
lit looks now as if they had settled down
upon Grant forrenomination, butyou can't
tell what may happen in year"
SENATOR CAMERON
"Of course you are in favor of the renom-
ination of Grant?"
"Yes, think he is the best man we
have, and think he will be renominated
without any doubt. That message of his
on San Domingo was an admirable docu-
ment, and would have renominated him
had there been nothing else. / don'tknow
of anything equal to it since the days of
jackson. Then, again, Grant is paving off
the debt, and collecting the revenue. That
gives him strong hold on the people"
1.-THE success of the Treaty of Wishing
ton will add to his strngth suppose ?,'
"1es, that secured for him the entire
money and property interest of the coun-
try, and that was all he wanted to make
him the strongest man with the people in
the United States"
col. JOHN W. FoRNEY
81 hope you don't want n place in the
Custom House, said the Colonel, laugh
ing, as we shook hands.
NO ] replied. II want to know whois
going to be President afterth 4th ofMarch
1871 s.l-.1 = I.
s"Well, that is some distance ahead and
your question is not easily answered. l
have no doubt in my own mind that Gen
Grant will be the man though of course.
there Is difference of opinion about IT,
"You think he will be renominated by
the Republicans" r
Unquestionably, and reelected, too.
That has been my firm belief for some time
past. In October, 1867 wrote an article,
after consultation with the late Gen. Raw
lins, Judge David X. Carter and Senator
Ihayer, wherein l rcnominated Grant aud
predicted his election to q second term"
