Those Bible Lessons.-There has been very fair response to our request to man. ifest the wish of our readers in relation to continuing the publication in THE NEWS, the comments on the Sabbath school les sons, and the reverend gentleman who has kindly written them for us has been in- formed of it. but at this writing we have not received his conclusion in regard to the matter. One gives to us her opinion in re- lstion to the matter as follows: Mr. Editor:-
 Print on the words, nor count the cost,
 That makes the precious Bible plain; No labor, time, or space is lost,
 That may soul for heaven gain.
 Gods word, the golden bridge which
 spans.
 That silent river safely OCT,
 A becon light throughout all lands,
 To lead us to the shining shore.
 Oh earth were wearisome indeed,
 With all it's beauty, love and youth,
 But for the ''promises" we read,
 The living pearls of Gospel truth,
 ouO WuGu we SCG our UGAr ones Olo.
 The little ones with folded bands.
 Our hearts would break, but for the eye
 Of faith that sees the angel bands.
 And all that land of peace and rest.
 Of pearly gates and streets of gold,
 Are thronged with children early blest,
 The gathered lambs within the fold. And shall we help the young to win
 The Bible truths so glad and free?
 Of Christ, and those whe followed Him,
 On Judah's plains and Galilee.
 Write on, print on, one column give,
 To SOW the mind with precious 8; ed, To teach our darlings how to live,
 Though they may never tell their need You may not know on earth, or see
 The blessed fruits of thought and care But safe in Heaven, bright spirits free
 May welcome you who led them there
 P. A. P. LATKR.-Since writing the above, we have received large number of very urg- ent requests to have the Sunday school lessons continued. We have not heard from our reverend friend yet in relation. to to induce him to continue to make plain, in the pages of THE NEWS, the precious in struction to be found in the Bible.
 A Pleasant Affair.-A trunk which was left at the railroad station in Chapinville. a few days since, plead guilty to something, nobody knew what, every time anybody went near it, and it was finally determined to legally interview it last Monday. On lifting the lid. three tooth brushes, razor strops, revenue stamps and various other articles instantly recognized Mir. John G. Landon, who chaneed to be standing near, as thelr old boss, whom they had not seen since his store in that village was visited by ''customers" at the very unreasonable hour of midnight sometime last winter. of joy was MT. L. at the return of the prodigals, he secured the services of Sher. if Adams, into whose hands he placed an urgent invitation to the owners of the trunk, to an entertainment he would pro vide for them. The sheriff, with his usual good luck, found the two lads, who gave their names as Frank Holibard and Edward Notewire alias Geo. w. Hinton, both oi Sheffield, at the Barnard House in.this viii lage, and so great was his delight in find ing them, he went to their rooms before they were up Tuesday morning, and after cordial greeting, read MT. Landon's in- vitation to them, and with neat little speech, presented each with pair of brace lets, as testimonial of his esteem. Mr. Landon is in Hudson. and the sheriff very courteously spends his whole time with his guests, awaiting his return. Mir. L. is ex pected home to-day, (Thursday), when the entertainment will "co1e off" Daniel Pratt, Esq. is appointed master of cere- monies, and the frs: toast will be, "Where did you get that merchandise Which, il is expected, will be responded to by one oi the guests, after which, applause will be in order. Twill be grand affair. Let's all go!
 LATER.-It is reported that one of the above ''guests," Hinton. has been discharg ed. as not being the owner of the trunk, and having no knowledge of it's contents, but the other is still in the care of the 1 sheriff.
