Iron Tower Of the Prince of TOlii; each
day coming nearer and nearer to the
doomed man. y window less, closer,
and closer, nearer and nearer it comes,
until the prisoner, stretching himself on
his own bier, feels his flesh crushed,
hears his own bowels crashing in the iron
jaws of that terrible monster. So with

It may seem strange to Others, as it did
to me, when Mr.. PinkertOn told me that
he had never been to school, and that
he could, with the greatest difficulty,
sign his own name. 1t was also with
great difficulty that could read what

Mr.. PinkertOn has written two books.
"Expressman and the Detective" and
Claude Melonette," the first of which
has had an immense circulation. He is
writing some others; one is completed,
and when offered to London House for
publication, they refused it because it was
too sensational. He intends writing a
number of books, and has his own biog-
raphy in such order that after his death
that will be published.
In the course of our conversation it
transpired that Mr.. Pinkerton was an
atheist. l did not wonder so much at
this; man who is so closely and con
stantly allied with the darker side of
human life, may we'll be in the dark. l

the hopelesness of such a future. So

ct is not the fashion to repress the ex-

AuglO- Saxon is of melting mood. his
endeavor Is to hide it, and he resorts to
blinds and talks OF cold. II his voice
gives way under charged feeling, lac ex-
plains that it arises fFola hoaFsaness- or,
in short, any bat the true reason. There
is nervous apprehension lest any mani

this respect the Frenchman is iseyePything
that lie is not. At meeting a friend his
face is radiant with delight-he folds

Resurrectinn nnIIlfe-

| Men are sometimes so vain and pre-
sumptious as to suppose that with few
dashes of the pen they upset the whole
structure of Christianity. Again and
again have the great doctrines of the
Bible been by them ''relegated to the
lumber room of Christian antiquities"
but the result is, and ever will be, the
same; those doctrines win survive, and
continue to comfort believers, thus prov
ing the words of the great Head of the
Church, My words shall not pass
away"
To deny the resurrection of the body
is to discard revelation; it is to contra
dict God, and set up mans puny specu-
lations against the utteranee of Omnis-
cienee. 1t matters not that some impu-
dent, eoneeited skeptic may attempt to
array common sense and scientific
knowledge" against this, thus saith the
Lord: He may claim to possess ''spirit-
ual instincts" so ''fine" as to experience
''repugnance' at the doctrine of n 'sbod
lily insurrection.n
Still the Great Teacher says: John
V. Chap. 2S-29 verses, ''The hour is
coming in which all that are in the
graves shall come forth; they that have
done good, unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil unto the
resurrection of damnation." Paul says,
Cor. XV-16, ''For il the dead rise
not, then is Christ not raised; And il
Christ be not raised, your faith is vain."
Again, verse 42, 'If, (the body is sown
in corruption, it is raised in incorrup-
tion," etc.
These are a few only of the many pos
tive declarations in Gods word that the
body will be raised in the general resur-
reetion. We are no more bound to ex-
plain the resurrection according to
Common sense and scientific principles"
than the eaviler is to explain why the
Creator gave him little larger brain
than He gave the monkey. H,,a man
says II will believe only what l can un-
derstand" his creed will be very short.
What can we fully understand Pray
tell. Until those who deny bodily res
direction enlighten us upon some mat
tiers readily admitted by them, we shall
continue to find comfort in believing
that ''if a man die, he shall live again"
"Why should it be thought a thing in
credible with you, that God should raise
the deadl" Ar.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE SAvIOR.-The
following is from Fosters Encyclopedia
of Illustrations: ''The following is a
correct translation of an epistle sent by
Publius Lentulus to the Roman Senate:
''There appeared in these days a man of
great virtue named Jesus Christ, who is
yet among us; of the Gentiles accepted
for a prophet Of truth; but his disciples
call him the Son of God. He raiseth the
dead, and eureth all manner of disease.
A man of stature somewhat tall and
eomely, with very reverend eounte-
nance, such ms the beholder must both
love and fear. His hair the color of a
chestnut full ripe plain to the ears,
whence, downward, it is more orient,
eurling and waving about his shoulders
la the midst of his forehead is a stream
or partition of his hair, after the manner
of the Nazarites; forehead plain and very
delicate; his face without spot or wrink-
le, beautiful, with lovely red; his nose
and mouth so forked as nothing can be
represented; his beard thick, in color
like his hair, not over long; his look in
noeent and mature; his eyes gray, quick
and clear. In reproving, he is terrible;
in admOnishing, courteous and fair
spoken; pleasant in conversation, mixed
with gravity. 1t cannot be remembered
that any have seen him laugh, but many
have seen him weep; in proportion of
body most excellent; his hands and arms
deleetable to behold; in speaking, very
temperate, modest and wise; a man OF
singular beauty, surpassingthe children
of men,"

THE RAIS-FALL.-The rainfall at
Cincinnati for the months of June and
July was 144G inches. This is extraor-
dinary. But ST. Louis goes ahead Of
this city. IN June the Signal Service
officer at that place reported 10 81 inches
and in July S-57-total for the two
months, 1855. This is about half of
the average rainfall of the year At tin
dianapolis the rainfall during the two
months was even greater than at st.
Louis. The Signal Service officer at
that place reports 12-2o inches in June,
and 1912 inches ia July. Total for the
two months, 25-3 80 inches, arain-falI that
may fairly be claimed to be unpreee-
dtened.-CineinnGti Gazette.

RIGHTEoUsNEss.-It was the ineor-
ruptible integrity Of Job and, in high
er sense, of the Redeemer himself, that
saved them from the temptations of the
devil. And it is as true now that no
one can successfully meet the power Of
temptation unless he is righteous, as
that soldier could defend himself
against foe without such a coat of mail.
A want of integrity viii leave a man ex-
posed to the assaults of the enemy, just
. as man would be whose coat of mail
was defective or some part of which was
wanting.
The King of Israel was smitten by an
arrow sent from a bow drawn at ven
ture, between the joints of his har-
ness" and many n man who thinks he
has on the Christian arIHOr is smitten in
in the same manner There is some de-
feet of character: some want Of in
eOrruptible integrity: some point that
is unguaried, and that will be sure to be
the point Of attack by the foe. So
David was tempted to commit the
the enormous crimes that stained his
memory, and Peter to deny his Lord SO
Judas was assailed, for the want Of the
armor of righteousness, through his
avarice, and so by some want OF ineor-
ruptible integrity in a single point many
a minister of the gospel has been assail-
ed and has fallen. IL may be added here
that we need a righteousness which "od
alone can give-the righteousness OF God
our Saviour-to make US perfectly In
vulnerable to the arrows Of the foe
Albert B0THes

CULTURE WITHOUT GRAcB.-There Is
no more forIorIi sight than that Of a man
highly gifted, deliberately cultured, with
all the other capacities of his nature
strong and active, bat those Of faith and
reverence dormant. And this be it said,
Is the pattern Of men in whom culture,
made the chief good, would most likely
issne. On the other hand, when it as-
sumes It's proper place, Illuminated by
faith zand animated by devout aspira-
ton, it acquires dignity and depth
which of itself il cannot attain From
faith it receives its highest and most
worthy objects. Ii is ehasteDed and
purified from self reverence and eOneeit-
1t is priced no longer merely for its own
sake, or because It exaIts the possessor
Of it, but because it-enables him tobeo OF
use 10 others who have been less fortu-
nate. In a word, it ceases to be self
isolated, and seeks to communicate itself
as widely as it may. So culture is
transmitted from an intellectual attain
ment into a spiritual grace. This seems
the light in which all Who are admitted
to a higher cultivation should learn TO
regard their endowments, whatever they
may be.-PrtReiPoI Sh0trP,

TREE PLANTING.


OMAHA. July 6.-The extensive iead-
ing given my letter on Forest Saving, &"
published In the World recently. encour-
ages ne TO write something OH Forest
Growing" IL il not 50 difficult as many
people imagine to grow forest timber. -
The lack of correct information on this
subject Is, / believe, 10 a great extent the
reason why so little timber is planted -
II farmers only knew how to plant and
them, | believe, would commence rails
ing trees.
THE ASH.
The ash is one of the very best trees
for forest culture. 1t grows rapidly, is
easily raised and of great market value.
Mr.. HolleDbeck, OF Nebraska, has, in
Douglas county, piece of ash timber
he planted in 1861, and many of the
trees now measure sc inches in circum-
ference, and are over 80 feet high. Mr..
Budd, of Iowa, has n grove that has
thinned out to feet apart, contained
12, 900 trees and at twelve years of age,
were inches in diameter and 35 feet
high. The wood from thinning paid all
expenses of planting and cultivation
The bodies of the trees cut out sold for
40 cents each, and the tops sold for 10
cents more. Ten acres of this timber,
twelve years old, was estimated to be
worth $1,000. Young ash, if cut low at
eight years old and light furrOw thrown
over the stumps, will sprout and be ready
for a second cutting in eight years. Mr..
Budd says ten acres of black ash plant
ed for hoop poles in rows four feet apart
may be half trimmed in five years, and
at cents per pole will yield S1,G2O.-
The remaining half, or SO, 900 poles cut
two years later for large hoop poles, at
cents per pole, will yield s., $50. The
ash seed should be sown in the fall in
rows two feet apart and covered with
one inch of earth. In winter scatter n
litter of straw three inches deep over
the ground. The straw should he re-
newed early in the spring. The plants
will grow as early as the frost is gone
and be twelve to fourteen inches high
by fall. This will make an admirable
nursery, from which the trees should be
transplanted when one year old, and set |
out in the forest ground four feet apart.
Work the ground the same as for corn
and keep the weeds down. The closer
the trees are planted the straighter they
will grow and be free from the lower
limbs.
The Findlay Jeffersonian. [volume] (Findlay, Hancock County, Ohio) 1870-1881, 1875-08-20
THE OAK.

The uiosi valuable of all trees. 1t
can readily be raised from the seed,
which should be gathered in the fall,
after the aeorns drop The best month
TO gather seed is Qctaber, and it should
be piantej at once, or kept in a cool
moist condition until spring. The
plants should be set out about eight feet
apart, and between the rows some up
right growing tree can be planted as
nurses for the OAK. These latter should
be cut away whenever it is necessary to
make room for the oak. Burr oak and
chestnut oak are best for fuel and red
oaE tba hest for rails
