ALIVE. YET OFFICIALLY DEAD.

An illustration of the injury which, under
be French laws, may be inflicted upon an
pnocent man by the loss of his certificate
birth is afforded in the case Of Alfred
|oichot, who, at the age of 21, left Mont
||siard, his native place, to serve his time
the army. At the expiration Of his
eriod of service he did not-his parents
pying died in the meantime-return to
ontbeliard, but followed his trade as
htch-maker in various places. A short
PIE back, having become engaged to be
aried he determined to go there and OBJ
in the necessary papers, but on applying
the Mayors Office, he was told that it
P9ld be useless giving him certificate Of
fth, as in the archives was contained the
ftifcate Of his death at the Toulon gal
sin 1871. Loichot found, upon further
BURY, that all his former acquaintances
ieved that he had been condemned to
bal servitude for murder, and had died
the galleys, and he failed to understand
the error could have arisen until he re.
mbered that while in garrison at Bea-
Pc0n his money, watch and papers had
Pn stolen. The thief had availed himself
he papers to pass himself off as Alfred
chot, and having committed some fresh
Pnses was sent to the galleys. He died
leundergoing his term of imprisonment,
hence arose the mistake. Alfred Loi-
has been compelled to apply to the
tribunal at Toulon for correction of
error, and for the removal of his name
the death register; and the judgment

A TIGER FIGHT.

Avery large, royal Bengal tiger (says the
BENGAL Tyn,ss), measuring about eleven feet
from tip to tail, was, killed some time ago by
native, at a place between Meerpore and
Bjpanbaree. It appears that some ryots
we're cutting dhan in field when the brute
.ttacked one of them, seizing hold of his
mack and lacerating the tepdons and nerves.
one of his companions was then attacked,
.nd his bowels torn open. A third mans
shoulder was smashed, and two others were
severely wounded, before the alarm could be
piven in the village. ,o'"
A party was Immediately formed, headed
bv quite young man, and when they ap-
nroached the lair of the tiger, the ferocious
bsast made aspiring at them; but the leader,
who carried loaded double-barreled gun,
dexterously pulled the trigger. The frs
shot passed through the right eye Of the ami
NAL which, irritated as it now was, made
another spring at his foe with its mouth wide
open, and the second bullet, after knocking
on one of its teeth, passed out through the
back of its head. It now became infuriated
and made third spring at the man, who,
bis ammunition being spent, rushed toward
bis party, and, snatching a loaded gun from
ona of the men, shot the infuriated brute
through the heart. 7"''''' ~, ',,t :,,a y, a o.. a.

custom Of feeling the walters is an intolera-

who disregards this Medo-Persian law Of

have you to tyrannize over child ? have
little respect for man that cannot govern
child without brute force. Think of
whipping children Why, they say children
tell lies. Yes, cowardice is the mother of
lies tyranny is the father of lies. Suppose
man who is as much larger than you as
you are larger than a fve-yearsod child
should come at you with pole in his hands,
Who broke that plate p you would trem-
BILE; your knees would knock together; and
YOU would swear you never saw the plate, or
it was cracked when you got it. Think of
a member OF the exchange whipping one of
his children for prevaricating Think of a
lawyer beating his own flesh and blood be-
cause he evaded the truth Think of
dealer in stocks Furnishing his child for set
ting anoat false reports What an incon-
sistency Think of it If you should here
after whip you child | wish you would have
your photograph taken doing it, with brows
contracted with anger, cheeks red with
wrath, and the little child shrinking, crouch

to die, wouldn't it be sweet in the autumn,
when the maple leaves are turning to gold,
and when the scarlet vine runs like sad re.

those books have exerted, and are now ex.
erting, on the human mind. Reflect, fur
thermore, how literature has been cleansed
and modified by il; and how the poetic
imaginations of the race, purified from heath.
enish conceptions aud impurities are to-day
busily at work swelling the aggregate Of
virtue and refinement Where, indeed, has
not the influence of the word penetrated
Where has not the ministry of 1t, in one
form or another gone 4? 1t has entered into
literature, and purged it of its indecencies
and grossness. IL has directed the chisel of
the sculptor, and made the marble contribute
to its holiest conceptions. 1t has mingled
the colors on the palette and endowed the
canvas with perpetual power to refine and
elevate. 1t has dictated constitutions TO
governments; wrenched legalized wrong out
of statute, and marshalled the forces of leg
islation in favor of liberty and man. 1t has
entered the seat of customs, made commerce
an honor aud an agent. and joined in close
alliance with itself all the manifold forces of
business and trade. It is only when one
takes into account all these wide-branching
influences which emanate from the Bible,
that he can, even to partial extent, esti-
mate what it has done and is doing for
the world. The ministry of the word,
which has for its object the removal Of
mans hostility to God, in its widest sense,
includes all these. BY as much as you en-
tighten the race, by as much as you refine
away its grossness, by as much as you root
out its vices and extract its antagonisms,
by so much do you bring it higher to God.
The early rains which precede the summers
warmth do no more surely prepare the earth
for the seed than do these worldwide, human
izing tendencies, which through heightened
pedigree trace their birth from the gospels,
prepare the souls of men to accept the at
tonement.-Go Golden Rule.
