How Old Peter Bennett Won His Case.

If Alexander H. Stephens should be at
home and his mind not absorbed by public
affairs, the visitor will find in him one of
the best and most prolific anecdotists OF
the day. ara Gle ..sr.
One story-alas! that he cannot sit in
the types to tell tits the Peter Bennett
speech. A DR.. Royston, doubtless most
excellent man, had sued Mr.. Bennett, a
farmer. for his bill. Little Aleck," as
Alexander Is minified by his friends, told
his client, Peter b., that the case OF service
and its value were proved against him in
legal form and there was no real defense.
But the old farmer insisted that his law
yer should "speak to the case" MIR.
Stephens told him that he ought to speak
himself If he thought a speech could be
made. and was surprised by the ret0rt /:

Peter Bennett began: fA III

Then, in rapid defamation, he named

their owners buried them, and continued:

paper: Some time since an old gentle
man Of our county went over into Indiana
TO buy some stock. Returning, he en-
barked upon one Of the Green River boats
for Bowling Green. At the same time an
other gentleman and his wife came aboard
for the same destination, and on the trip
up OF over day and night ho, in general
conversation, remarked that he had been
gone TO Texas twenty five years, and was
now returning 10 his boyhood's homo TO
see his relatives. The two old men were
noticed In conversation several times, but
the subject must have been OF q general or
casual character After landing at Bow
ling Green, and ell were making prepare
tions " disenibark, the Texan came up to
the Captain and asked II he could prob
ably get conveyance out to Mr.. John HIS;
that he was his only brother, and he had
not seen him for twenty five years, and
concluded by asking II lie knew him. 1,he

celianeous collection OF jewelry as you
would find in a West End shop. Out il
came by handfuls, to be counted by the
Device Niiemee, and given into the GUS
tody OF the priests, who placed The articles
IN the remaining pagodas. But an end will
come to the production of treasures,
be they never so many, and an
end came to these. The pagodas
were full, and it now only remained to
wrap them all in thick folds of muslin.
This done, the receptacle of the book was
lifted up by the high priests, q deep
obeisance was made, and then it was
placed in the center bell-shaped case. One
after another the rest Of the pagodas were
placed round it, the silver bo-tree follow
ing last of all; and, when this had been
achieved, and the number duly counted,
the priests lifted the silver top once more,
and, with supreme effort, got it into
position. The Device Nilemee with evil
dent pride produced large gold key and
locked the huge casket. This was not all,
however. A band of thin iron was now
brought and entwined round the bell in
such way that, with the aid of small
paddock which was attached to il, entrance
to the bell was most effectually prevented;
and, the paddock being fastened, some
more muslin was brought, wrapped over
the lock, and sealed with the Device
Nilemee's seal, bearing golden dodo and
his name in Cingalese. A gold umbrella
from which chain and jewels hung was
fixed on the top of the bell, ornamental
pieces were added to it, till at length il
stood out in the center Of the cage, a gilt
tering pagoda ready for the worship Of all
who visit the shrine and are allowed for
to peer through the bars at
the resting place Of the tooth. The barred
gate having been drawn and fastened by
key in the custody of one of the high
priests, the candles were put out, and we,
and faint. emerged into the
outer room, saw the door locked, the Sec
ond grating fastened, and watch ap-
pointed to guard the treasure. The relic
of Buddha had been safely consigned to
its shrine.-Cor. London Telegraph.

Could Not Say 1t.

AN act of prayer is OF itself searching
test of ones thoughts and feelings espe.
ciallv SO when the very language of the
petition, as suggested blythe Divine Spirit,
holds up mirror to the heart The fol.
lowing story well illustrates some OF the
difficulties experienced by an intentional
sinner in repeating the Lords Prayer
In the middle ages, when the great
lords and knights were always at war
with each other, one of them resolved to
avenge himself upon a neighbor who had
offended him. 1t CHANGED that on the
very evening when he had made this re-
solve, he heard that his enemy was to pass
near his castle with but few men with
him. 1t was a good opportunity to take
his revenge, and he determined not to lot
il pass. He spoke Of this plan in the
presence of his Chaplain, who tried in
vain to persuade him to give it up The
good man said great deal to the Duke
about the sin of what he was going to do,
but in vain. At length, seeing that his
words had no effect, he said: My Lord
since cannot persuade you to give up
this plan OF yours, will you mt least con-
sent to come with me to the chapel, that
we may pray together before you go,"
The Duke consented, and The Chaplain
and he knelt down in prayer. Then the
mercy loving Christian said to the re.
vengeful warrior, "Will you repea! after
me, sentence by sentence, the prayer
which our Lord Jesus Christ taught to his
disciplesY"
~ will do it," replied the Duke.
He did accordingly. The Chaplain said
sentence, and the Duke repeated 1t, till
he came 10 the petition, =" Forgive us our
trespasses, as we forgive them that tres
pass against u.s." There, the Duke was
silent
My Lord Duke, you are silent" said
the chaplain. "Will you be so good rs
to continue and repeat the words after me,
if you dare do SOY Forgive us our tres
passes MS we forgive them that ,respass
against us.
81 can not" replied the Duke.
Well, God cannot rgive you, for lie
has said so. He himself has given this
prayer. Therefore, you must either give
up your revenge, or give up saying this
prayer; for to ask God to pardon you as
you pardon others. is to ask him TO take
vengeance on you for all your sins. Go,
now, my Lord, and meet your victim
God will meet you at the great day Of
judgment.
The iron will Of the Duke was broken.
No." said he will finish my pray
cr. My God, my Father, pardon me. For
give me as | desire to forgive him who
has offended me. Lead me not into temp.
iaiion, but deliver me from evil
"Amcnm said the Chaplain.
"Amcnl' repeated the Duke, who now
understood the Lords prayer better than
he had ever done before, since he had
learned to apply it to himself --Bidlica!
