Not a Model World.
BY PARyO.
There are many ways to live,
As circumstance invest one.
Philosophers long rules may give
For choosing of the best one.
The priest will pray, and preach
Doctrines that will puzzle one,
And pupils wondering pupils teach,
To make their life model one.
Theories they all impart-
The people do not practice one.
Rules and plans may do for art,

\ man WAS made TO be himself,
And never once another one,
And it would be great relief
If these folks wouldn't bother one.
Life is a strange game at best;
Why should you, then, pcppleY one?

To try and not to veX one.
There is care enough for all,

Spite of faith some sin will fall

A Smoking Sin.

A story telling clergyman relates the
following anecdote of one of our dis
tinguished Brooklyn Baptist clergymen
which the late Apostle Trask would
enjoy:
A few weeks ago the Doctor was exam
lining candidates for admission to the
church, and among them was a delicate,
sweet-faced boy, of some sixteen years of
age, whose eyes as he arose to speak
were bathed in tears.
"And are you striving to love, serve,
and follow the Lord Jesus ?" asked the
minister.
eyes sir, but my sins are great
meekly returned the young applicant.
"But Jesus will forgive them all. He
can wash you Clean" said the doctor,
encouragingly.
"There is one sin," said the boy,
"that I have struggled hard against. 1
am free from it now, but am afraid that
God will lever forgive me-" and the Lit,
tie fellow sobbed aloud.
"What is it, my boy? Let us know
what it is? God will forgive anything,
if you are truly penitent and lead a bet,
ter life. No matter how grievous this
sin may be he will forgive you. Now
what is it2"
"S-s-mo-o-king," sobbed the
boy.
Now as the doctor is an inveterate
smoker, say rather burner of cigars, said
the gentleman relating the story, he WA
considerably taken aback, especially as
he noticed several in the congregation
laughing. But putting on a grave look
he said to the sobbing applicant: eyes,
yes, smoking is bad for boys, but Goo
will forgive you, l trust"

The Baptism of the Bulls.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: "The
opening of a bridge at Aries has been
the occasion of an extraordinary popular
diversion, known as the Baptism of the
Bulls. Near the town is an immense
plain called the Camargue, where multi
tudes of cattle usually Craze in peace.
During great public festivals, however,
a large a~mphitheater is formed of carts
and hurdles, which serve to- define the
half-circle. A straight line is then drawn
with q pillow between the extremities of
the curve, and this open space is toward
the Camargue. A number of bulls are
then driven into the arena so formed.
They instantly endeavor to leave it and
return to their pasture, but they are
stopped by a body of horsemen armed
with tridents. A few, however, manage
to break through the line, and then
comes the real excitement of the day.
The plow-mark is guarded by men on
foot, who meet the fugitive bulls, seize
them by the horns, throw them down,
and apply the branding iron to each from
among those bearing the names of the
cattle owners of the Camargue. AS,
however, branding the bull is considered
a great honor, the handsomest specta-
tress of the sports is led forward to give
the unfortunate animal his fiery 'bap-
tism.' Such is the scene with which the
opening of the bridge of Aries was cele,
brated the other day. The mel. liked it,
the women liked it, and it is to be hoped
that the bulls liked it too"
