of the statements in their proper connection,

OF the statements in their proper connection,
and 1t is the experience of Christians every
where that she that believeth on the Son
hata'-not shall have-''everlasting life.
Men really begin to live when they begin to
have faith in the Son of God, who hath
brought life and Immortality to light through
the Gospel for, as Paul declares, elf in this
life only we have hope we are of all men most
miserable, and the best thing we can do is,
as Solomon and Paul both declare, to eat and
drink and enjoy the good of our labor all the
days of this life. But these Hebrew philoso-
piers did not so believe; neither did they SO
teach. The other Scriptures quoted by our
correspondent do not bear upon the issue
which we raised between the "Free Religion
Association" and the ''Hebrew philosopher"
and ourselves, and we pass them by.
The argument from nature adduced by our
correspondent proves too much, and hence
defeats its purpose. Science, is properly the
collation. Of facts and their appropriate group
ing to make out given case but hypothesis
is not fact and where all is guesswork one
mans guess may be as good as anOther's.
The fact that ''the elements of which all the
bodies in the universe are composed are eternal
and indestructible" does not begin to prove
the souls Immortality. Nor does it reflect
the attributes Of Deity, ''save, as the Apostle
Paul declares, it sets forth His eternal power
and godhead." "All the creation there is, !"
says our correspondent ''consist, in making
one thing out of another, so that if we make
a chair or q table out of tree it is as much a
creation as to make the earth out of materials
already in existence. But as we could not
make the chair or table without the tree, so no
more could the earth or any of the celestial
bodies have been made without the elements
of which they are composed, and which are
eternal and indestructible in their nature So
then God is mere mechanic, and ''the invisible
things of Him being understood by the things
made" mot after all prove ellis eternal power
and godhead." If this is the theory of our
Free Religionists and their Hebrew and Chris
tian defenders, and if science can put no other
or better facts into the case than this, we still
contend that ''t can never change the common
belief of mankind in the Immortality of the
soul and in its necessary independence of the
body" And in this faith We live and hope to
die and we have noreason to doubt that it
accords with the universal belief of the human
race. 1t harmonizes fully with human con-
seriousness, and is, therefore, universally &C.
cepted and believed. 1t is worthy of the utmost
credence by every intelligent mind.

Z" MY WIFE"

Whd. is my wife like Stay and hedt.
Her eyes are soft, and dark, and brown
Limpid and lustrOus, and ms clear
Az stars from Heaven shining down
On this dull world. And for her size
She's not so tall but she must raise
Her lips to mine, and can gaze
Right downwards in those loving eyes.
Her hair is like n veil Of light,
All crisply, golden, soft, and fair;
And falling rornd her shoulders white
In waving masses rich and rare.
Her hands what artist Ger could paint?
So dalnty-tipped, so small and thin
Soft -palmed, and sweet with perfumes faint
And white rs wax tie satin skin.
And then her fO2f is slender, small,
And arcbing like a ssrpent's crest:
The setibance likes me not AT all,
So Choose the simile you best
Admire. But gaze not cver-bold;
My wife is but modest girl,
As true as steel and pure as gold,
Though fair as Oceans fairest pearl.
And cau you guess her greatest charm =
rare one, too; but be it known,
In heart, and soul, and mind, my wife
Is mine-all mine, and mine alone

A .sSkri.iinlage.,

We were not little amused at a
little 'set-to' between countryinan

the other evening. The former
had not paid that attention to the
admonitions of our neighbor up The
street, that he should have dohe-
IN fact old Benzire had rather the
better Of him. 1t took some time
to get up a war spirit on the part
Of" our Fritz''-bnt when he did
get on a war footing "he went in
with a 'cussedness' fully equal to
the occasion" Germany soon
made a dart between cOuntry's legs
and laid him sprawiing on his
back needle gun or matrailouse
meyer fired more rapid shots than
did our German friend. and COun-
try was placed hors de combat.
