IT is sinful to do what we know, Or be-
Iieve, to be wrong; as, for instance, to lie,
to steal, to slander 1t is sin to deceive
or mislead another to his harm. There
are many sorts, varieties, and phases of
| sin, besides those indicated in the Ten
| Commandments We regard it a sin to
| commit excuses in eating, in drinking,
OF in doing anything that will impair the
health of the body, affect the mind injuri-
! ously, or dwarf the moral or spiritual SEN
sihilities. Through dissipation one be-
| comes the parent of an imbecile or an
idiot Preachers confne their rebukes to
| what may be called moral sins, seldom
coming right down to our physical trans
gressions, such as over-eating, drinking,
| chewing, smoking, dosing and drugging,
which are among the chief causes OF our
most serious SHINING.
| Let us look at these things as they are.
| We sin against the laws of health when
we breathe old and fetid air, such as is
| confined in school-houses, public halls,
| churches, and even in private dwelling
houses. We sin when we gormandize or
| eat more than we need; when we rob our
selves or others of necessary sleep; when
we overtax the minds of children, render
| ing them precocious and sicklv; when we
lace SO tightly that we contract our lungs
| and impair health; when we spoil our
feet, producing corns, bunions, ETC., by
tight boots; when we cause headache by
great wads of false hair, or by alright
hats; when we go to extremes in anything
whereby we waste vitality and engender
disease. Extreme greediness is a product
of undue selfshness, and borders on dis
honesty He who will not do as he would
be done by is not, by any means, a saint.
Each of us may hold the mirror up to ma
ture, and if we wish to do SO we may
'iSee ourselves as others see u.s.
Is it not sin to gamble, and get gain
without earning it? Is it not a sin to sell
rum to one whose appetite is perverted,
and whose mind is too weak to resist the
| temptation? Is it not sin to seduce or
lead one from life of virtue to a life of
viceg Is not peevish, fretful, violent,
and ungovernable temper sinful? Is not

dutys Reader, go on with these questions
of determination, and see where you
stand? You can cypher them up, debit
and credit, balance the account, and see
exactly where you are. True penitence
will bring pardon, and, when forgiven
past sins, we may start out with new re-
solves to lead new life, in accordance
with higher principles than those of
former times we may overcome beset-
ting sins. We may improve. Ii is our
privilege and our duty SO to dc. Let us

WHAT TINE Has TAUGHT Us 1t has
taken 2. 900 years to teach the world that
to sustain the body in its conflict with
disease, not to help disease by weaken
ing tho body, is the true end OF medi-
cine. We have tho lesson by heart at
last, however. We know, for example,
that tearing doses of aloes, salts julap.
croton oil. calomel, ooloynth, 60, are
tho best allies that dobilitating malady
can have in its assaults on the human
frame; and that medicine like Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, whioh strengthens
all tho bodily powers and rallies the
sinking constitution. is the most power
full antagonist OF the morbiio principle,
whatever it may be, that lies at the root
of the complaint. This knowledge has
been long time in reaching us, but it is
invaluable. We can now control and

constipation. rheumatism, nervousness,
and many other painful complaints once
considered incurable, with this admira.

EXECUTIONS MADE EAsY.-In Sweden

criminals is now extant. and seems to
have met the requirements of tho Go.
vernment much more accoptabiy than
any method heretofore used. The fol-
lowing description of the internal ma
chine will be read with interest:
Tho criminal is placed in sort of
ronnd wooden conc, open at the top. 80
that only his head and neck protrudes.
Over his shoulders lid is placed, tightly
fitting round the lower part Of the neck.
Then another lid is put on, containing o
sharp knife shaped like sickle. and to
which wooden handle is attached. Tho
criminal, after being placed in the
wooden cone and having his neck en-
closed in the lower lid. cannot move at
all. The executioner then puts funnel
shaped cover on tho cone, whereby the
cnprit is concealed from view. Every
thing, then. is ready; the oxecutioner
seizes the handle of the knife and gives
it q jerk, and the culprit's head is Sc.
vered from the body. All the prepara-
tons for the execution require but little
more than a minute. aud the sickle.
shaped knife does its work with unfailing
certainty.
