The Illinois Legislature, up0n the
first day Of its session, turned its at
tention to what may seem trivial to Us,
but which, in a farming section Of the
the country, is a most serious griev-
anee, and worthy of the most posi-
tive and aggressive legislation. This
object Ofspeeial interest is the Canada
thistle. Already territory in that
State, extending over two thousand
acres, has been grown over with this
obnoxious weed, whereOn it marshals
its briStling legions, steadily advan-
cling and demanding more territory,
The wind is its ally, and the more
violent the gale, the more widespread
and ineradieable does its possessions
become. The measure proposed TO
meet this advance is to place the in
feeted spots In agricultural quaran-
tine, and appoint a thistle commits
siOner in each town, whose business
it shall be look to their removal along
the roadside and on farms. Not even
the whisky, which, it ia said, is dis
titled from the plant in some Of the
FegiOns where it abOunds, can recon-
cile the farmer TO its entertainments.
and the warfare which will be waged
against il will be general, and carried
on to the roots.

The Turk to-day thinks itawkward

with uneleanly steel tools, which

many turns and played many parts.

The Chicago Tribune explodes the
story that that city was built of stone
heavily charged with petroleum. 1t
says the only building in the city OF
any size built of the supposed oil stone
was the Second Presbyterian church,
and the walls Of that building were
not reduced to ashes, but stand con-
spiciously erect among the ruins of a
hundred other buildings utterly de-

A gentleman was describing tC
Douglas Jerrold the story OF his court,
ship aud marriage-how his wife bad

on the point Of taking the veil, when
his presence burst upon her enFap-
tured sight, and she accepted of him
for her husband. JerFold listened to
the end of the story, and then quietly
remarked: "She simply thought you

=, 1t is the fruit season; apples are
plentiful. Ifany ofmy young friends
are willing to sacrifice few, they can
perform an experiment which will
show them, in astriking manner, the
evils of bad company.
Take seven apples. six being the
rOsiest and finest you can get, and
the seventh a rotten one. Lay them
all together in a basket, and shut
them up in a cupboard. That bad
apple will make the whole basketful
decay. Look at them in a weeks
time, and you will see already some
symptoms of corruption. Look again,
in a week or two, and you will flnd
all the apples unsound and worth
less,
Be not deceived. Evil eommuniea-
tons corrupt good manners, and bad
company will as infallibly corrupt
you as this one rotten apple infected
the good fruit with which il was
placed. 1t Is easy for you to replace
those apples with others; but, if you
once lose your innocence, your piety
and J our purity, can you so easily
restore the !?

REPUBLIcAN,

To these we may add Indians,
Michigan, Kansas, Vermont and Ne
braska, with thirty-tvo votes, as GER
tain to give their voice in favor of a
Republican candidate. New Hamp-
shire, which, in the above table is on
the Democratic side, will be trans
ferred to the other party, and New
Jersey, under the benign example Of
the two States on each side Of her,
will experience a decided change of
heart. Mississippi and Arkansas may
leave the Republican column, and If
they do they exactly balance the two
States above named, and can be
spared, in any event, without peril

u,,. H.rr, v,rd Be.eher On the Bible.


Mr.. Beecher preached yesterday
morning uDon the Bible as practical
guide in life, showing that the scien-
life questions of the age do not in
validate even the history Of the Bible
and do not even touch its spiritual
truths. He said The thing of value
in the Bible is what it does. If it
does nothing it is worth nothing, as
the gold in the mountains is worth
nothing. The text says, "All Script
ure is given BY inspiration Of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for re-
proof. for correction, for instruction
in righteousness. Probably the
proper rendering of this conveys the
idea that all Scripture which is of in
spiration is profitable. The position
which the Bible holds among Protes-
tant Christians in our day is equiva-
lent to the position which the Church
holds with Romanists. ] see in the
Romanist view the germ of something
of transcendent importance. If L
were shut up to a worship of the
Church or the Bible / should choose
the former. The alteration of the
Church and the alteration of the Bible
are both idolatry. If book, though
the record of God, and Church o
living men are to be compared f
choose the inspiration in men.
anything can be made OF this make
it. The ultra Protestant way of hold
ing the Bible and the ultra hierarchi-
cal way of holding the Church both
stumble on the same rOck-the idola-
try Of the means. In our day there
is more serious danger attending the
Bible than at any previous time. The
assaults are more vital they are in
alliance with scientific inquiry and
they are in accordance with the
thoughts of the age. / believe that
the prepOnderanoe of evidence rests
with the Bible, but the campaign is a
vast one-it is
ANOTHER WATERLOO.
The ground seems to some liable to
fall away from the mining of natural
science. There are many who will
not attend to an argument that is
based upon intuition or moral con-
seiousness or the so-called miraculous.
| This atmOspere of doubt acts in a
great many ways. He is little con-
versant with the world who does not
know that there is q great deal Of
doubt and uncertainty about religion.
A great many are unsettled. They
say something's that used to be taught
we know are not true, and how do
we now what to believe? Outside
doubt is sustained by the conflicts in
the Church. When the great conflict
of ages is laundering outside, when
the question is asked, sis there a
God ?f they that believe are dispnting
of the poorest and meanest elements
