THE BUT.TEEkv WICK TRAG-
EDK.


(Frpm the Philadelphia BulletIn.)
A solemn-looking man called at
Mr.. ButterWick's house the other
day, snd asked for Mrs. Butterwick.
When she came into the parlor he
said:
q "Ar4. Butterwick, believe
Mrs. Brtterwick I came to bring
you sosne rather bad news. / don't
know how you'll take it, bat feel
as if I ought to tell you, no matter
how iScnts you up. Your husband

aroun6 there for an hour or two
looking at the children and having
q gooG time, and after awhile Will
sons rolored boy said something
to him he didn't like, and he jump
ed at the boy and threw him to the
ground"
"Very extraordinary conduct,
/ must say" said Mrs. Butterwick.
"Well, you know I was afraid
he'd h1rt the boy, and SO took
hold Of him and tried 10 pull him
OF, and that made him mad ct me,
and he.turned around and began to
attack me. Now, really, for awhile
] thought he'd q killed me if he
could have had q chance"
she certainly would never have
ATTEMPTED such q thing"
"Y GA can't always tell. So ran
into the house and got my gun, and
when he followed me / took aim
and lBt him have both barrels.
Busted: the legs clean off him, and
he rolled over insensible."

Then Mrs. Butterwick suddenly
dried her eyes, looked daggers at
him for q minute, and founced out
of the room.
The murderer twirled his hat on
his finger for q minute, and then
slowing rising and moving to the
front door he murmured:

The Reasons why the Bible
Should he Read Ln the
schools.
NUMBER TWO.
BY Rev. John Rankin.


Whatever tends to cultivate and
enlarge mental capacity is valuable
to children. One of the best means
of cultivating and charging the
capacity of children is that of pre-
senting to their minds sublime
ideas, aud no other book is SO well
adapted to this purpose as the Bible.
No other book contains 80 high
degree of sublimity. The sublime
ideas contained in the first chapter
of Genesis are most magnificent. In
it is revealed Being so immense in
wisdom and and power as to be able
to create, in six days. the solar sys-
tenn. "In the beginning God created
the heavens and the EARTH" That
actual creation is meant is evident
from Exodus, 20, IL "For in six
days the Lord made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them
is" This proves that every particle
of the universe was created within
six days. To create such q body as
the one we inhabit would require
uncomfortable power; the earth is
but small part of the six days
work. Quite a number of globes
were created at the same time, and
some of them larger than the earth,
and in addition to these the sun was
created, body so immensely large
as to be able to hold, by his attrac-
tive power, all these revolving
globes in their orbits, and give them
the day. "God said: let there be
lighl, and there was light" How
sublimel He lighted up the sun in
magnificence and glory.
Biologists represent the Deity as
laboring during vast ages in Great
ing and fitting up the earth for
mans habitation; but Moses repre-
sents Him as creating and lighting
up the entire universe in six days.
How grand and sublime appears the
representation Moses gives, when
compared with that given by geol-
egists.
The Book of Job, the Psalms of
David, and the prophesies of Isarah,
abound in sublimity.
In the New Testament represent
alton Of the Son of God, there is
abundant sublimity. He who sat
upon the eternal throne and lighted
up heaven in all its magnifcence
and glory, condescended to assume
our nature, to be born of woman,
TO become poorer than s'The foxes
of the mountains and the birds of
the air." to be cruelty scourged and
crucifie6, in order to save from end
less sorrow fallen men. Thus He
manifested benevolence infinitely
sublime.
In the condensation of the Son
of God, we have the grandest exhi-
bition of humanity and benevoleHce
ever given to the universe. Angels
never before saw SO much of God.
The revelations by John are mar
Velously sublime. A single speci-
men will be given. John said: 'sI
saw q great white throne and Him
that sat on it, from whose face the
earth and the heaven fed away;
and there was found no place for
them"
The Bible is, by far, better adapt
ed to charging, devoting and puri-
flying minds of children, than any
other book. It is marvellous that
anyone does object to having it
read in the schools.
