The Stone Which the Builders Reject

The following sublime passage We
extract from oneof the sermons Of the
celebrated pulpit orator, C H. Spurg-
con, of London. Every christian will
fully appreciate its sublimity:
'I have heard a story-I cannot tell
whether it is true or not-cut Of some
of the Jewish rabbi il is a tale con-
cerning the text, "The stone which
the builders refused, the same is De
come the Esad-stOne of the corner. u
It is said that when SOlomOn's temple
was building, all the stones were
brought from the quarry ready and
fashioned, and there were marked on
all the blocks the places where they
were to be put. amongst the stones
tD0s q Uerg curious one. It seemed Of
no descri6able shape, It appeared l1l-
ft for any portion Of the building
They tried it at this wall, but it would
not fit; they tried it in another but il
| could not be accommodated; sO,yexed
and angry, they threw il away. This
/ temple was so many years building,
that this stone became covered with
/ moss, and grass grew around it. Ev-
erybody passing by laughed at the
| stone: thew said Solomon was wise,
and doubtless all the other stones were
/ right but as to that block they might
as well send it back to the quarry fol
they were quite sure it was meant fol
nothing. Year after year rolled on
and the Door stone was still despised,
the builders constantly refused it
! The eventfuI day came when the tenn
ple was to be finished and opened
and the multitude was assembled tC
see the grand sight. The builders said
/ ffWhere is the tOp-stOne? Where il
the pinnacle?u They little though
| where the crOwning marble was, unit
| some one said, "Perhaps that stone
which the builders refused is mean
10 be the toD-stOne." They then tool
It and hoisted it to the top of th'
house: and as il reached the SUNNI
they found IL well adapted to tn
\ place. Loud hOsannas made the vel
kin ring, as the stone which the build
ers refused, thus became the head
stone OF the corner. 50 4 IS 'ctt
I Christ Jesus. The builders cast hin
away. He was plebeian he was o
poor extraction; he was a man &C
quainted with sinners, hence tn
worldly-wise despised him. But whel
God shall gather together, in one, al
things that are in heaven and that ar
in earth, then Christ shall be TN
! glorious consummatiOn Of all thing
Christ reigns in Heaven the tOpmOst stone
And well deserves the praise
He shall be exalted; He shall b
honored; His name shall endure a
long as the sun, and all nations sha
be blessed in him, yea, all generation
shall call him blessed"

MI HIRE,S HOTHKR.

He stood on hts head On the Wild sea shore,
And danced on his hands a Jig;
In all his emotions, as never before,
A madly hilarious Jig.
And whys In that vessel which left the bay
His mOther-in-law had sailed
To tropical country some distance away,
Where tigers and serpents prevailed.
He knew she had goEe TO recruit her health
And doctor her rasping cough,
But vageTed himself profusion OF wealth
That something would carry her OF.
o, now he might hope for a quiet life,
And even be happy yet,
Though owning no END OF neuralgieal wife, f,
And up 10 his collar In debt;
For she OF the specs and curled false front,
And the black alpaca robe,
Must pick out sailor to suffer the brunt
OF her next daily trial OF Job.
He watched while the vessel cut the sea,
And bumpingly upPed and downed;
And thought II already she qualmish could
be
He'd consider the edidee crowned.
He'd borne the old lady through thick and
thin,
TIL she'd lestured him out OF breath;
And now as he gazed at the ship she was in,
He howled for her violent death
Till over the azure horizons edge
The bark had retired from view,
When he lesped TO the crest ofa chalky ledge,
And praneed like a kangaroo.
Ana MANI a frhtIa,t ,,a,l h.. .s,,,
Ger the waves which had made him free,
Then cut a last eaper esta tie, and went
Turning somersault homeward to tea.

4 Wonderful Piece Of Mechanism Ex-
hibited in New York.

In lS4I Professor Faber exhibited
Machine which could utter great
mmber of sounds and words, but it
vas by no means perfect. His neph-
eR took up the machine his uncle had
filled in perfecting and completed it.
Aftec exhibiting it before all the
GoWned heads and scientific societies
d Europe, he has brought it to this
9untry, and yesterday gave an ex-
hbition in private. The machine,
which stands on q small table, con-
ssts of a complicated arrangement
Of rubber tubes, reeds, pedals, keys,
Strings and wires. The lungs repre-
ented by small pair of bellows, the
lottis by reeds and pipes Of different
sizes, the lips and tongue by pieces of
India rubber. Beneath the table IS
q pedal by which the bellows are
worked, and on the right hand side
a series of keys, on which are marked
the letters o. q, I, 2, L, r, w, F, S,
TB, d and @. With these and some
supplementary arrangements, all
Duuds used in the European Ian
yuages are enunciated. There Is also
m arrangement resembling the key
BOARD offs piano, by which the ma
shine can be made to sing. Every
portion of II is open to view, so that
10 deception Is possible. Yesterday
he machine, under the deft hands of
Nine. Faber, enunciated distinctly all
he letters of the English and Ger
nan alphabets, such as ''Constanti-
aople," "PolitZka," Mississippi" !"
'Radetzky," "hurrah," and then
iarted off into long sentences in En-
dish, German and French, winding
ip with a laugh Of the most natural
kind, followed by Kisses, groans and
nurmurs. OF course, some words
we're more clearly enuncisted than
others, but the majority were giveL
hr more clearly than the majority Ol
human beings pronounce them, and
even the usual twang which French
people often adopt was closely imitat-
ed. In Professor Faber's machine
the motions of the mouth and tongue
initiate precisely those Of human be
mgs. Different keys or tones can bC
given by proper manipulation Of tht
pedals. Taken altogether, the "talk
Ing machine'' is a wonderful speci
men OF mans ingenuity. Whether
Il can ever be anything more Is doubt
tul. It can not be applied TO an,
practical purpose, unless, indeed
tdumb Or Weak-uerved and feeble
voiced individuals should choose q
purchase them and use them as me
diums through which 10 address tn
lpublic.
Professor Faber, we believe, intend
to exhibit his machine in public a
soon as arrangements can be made 70
that purpose. The singing portion
Of the machine not being in order
yesterday, we were unable 10 deter
mine what merit the Invention pos
sesses as vocalist.

The First Conviction Of the Crime OF
POlygamy.

The case of Hawkins, the Mormon
pOlygamist who was arraigned before
the United States Court in Utah, on
complaint of his lawful wife, was CIV
en- to the Jury, after an eminently able
charge by Chief Justice Mexican, on
Friday evening of last week, and on
Saturday morning n verdict of guilty
was returned. The prisoner was
promptly placed in the custody of the
Sheriff by the Court, against the strong
circumstances of his counsel, and he
will dnnhtless be sentenced to under
go the punishment which the laws OF
the United States prescribe for his Of
fense.
This is the first instance in which
the authority of the laws Of the Uni
ted States has been asserted over cases
of righteousness perpetrated under the
sanction of the sO-ealled Mormon re-
| ligion. The execrable iniquity of the
practice OfpoIygamy appears striking
| fy in this case. The lawful wife of
Hawkins declared that she had borne
| him seven children when he took an
other wife. He gave no reason for
this except the cruel and insulting one
| that she had had her day. AS she had
q right to do she appealed to the prop
er legal tribunal for the protection Of
her rights as a wife and mother, and
| for the protection of a large class OF
deeply injured and grossly outraged
| wives and mothers, who have been
compelled, by Mormon Oppressors,a and
| the timidity of United States officials,
to bear their wrongs, without hope OF
| relief or redress
/ This conviction institutes new era
/ in the history of MOrmOndom. Nor
/ mOnism must submit to law as 9TH
er sects and denominations are COM
pelIed to do. Crime cannot be per-
mitted under cover of religious free.
| dom. A religion which is used to de-
/ fend and shelter crime has no claim
\ to toIeratiOn. Bandits have just as
much right TO organize a church and
proclaim a religion sanctifying theiI
/ deeds of murder, robbery and pillage,
as MormOns have to deprive Lawful
] wives and legitimate children of theil
rights, and to give license to crime in
the name Of religion.
The action of the United State:
| Court in Utah will be firmly sustained
by the Administration. The law un
der which the conviction is had place
the system of pOlygamy at the mercy
of the legal wives of the Mormon of
Tenders. A proper firmness on tht
part Of the authorities, and this exccra
bic blot on our civilization will soOI
be remOved.-TOledo Blade.
