Deception Most Cruel.

A man in Wisconsin has applied for
a divorce upon the ground that his wife
married him under false pretense. He
says che told him while he was address
ing her that she could hoe an acre OF
potatoes and split two cords Of wood
between breakfast and dinner and she
has proved herselfa fearful fraud, be-
cause she could only split a cord
and hoe three times across the field. 1t
seems hard that men are continually to
be made the victims of the designing
women. Why will wives trife in this
manner with the tenderest affection OF
their husbands? Why will they shatter
their heart-strings How much happier
would have been the home of this Wis
cousin woman if she had emulated the
example of the Shoshone squaws! One
of them goes out and digs turnips all
day, and then wheels them home at
night in a push car, while her self-sacri-
fcing husband, in the depths of his un-
speakable love, sits on the front door
steps smoking Lone Jack tobacco and
meditating upon the number Of drinks
Of pyrotecnical rum he can put in his
jug with the money he gets when he
sells that squaw.

Infidels Dent Pray.


In the year 1927, young man, then
studying for the ministry, was requested
to preach in town in this State. The
meeting was held in the evening at .
private house. Knowing that two or
three Deists were present, some re-
marks were made upon the authenticity
Of Gods Word. The President Of an
lnfdel club arose, and interrupted the
speaker, who mildly said to him, ''Sit
down, and after meeting 1 will talk
with you." When the services closed
there was hardly timef for conversation,
and an appointment was made that the
parties should meet at the house of
friend on the following morning. At
the appointed hour the President, with
several infidel books under his arm,
and large handkerchief full of PAM
phlets and papers, made his appearance,
in company with two members of his
club.-No sooner were the parties
seated, and the large table covered
with his religious dissecting knives,
that the infdel began with much warmth
to pour forth his contempt for the
Bible. -G4 f'..--r -
stop sir, STOP" said the student.
Let US commence right, and then we
shall end we'll. Do you believe there
is God who made all thingss A God
who has mind?"

do you believe he created you,
feeds, clothes, and watches over you
and yours. without any reward ?"
Certainly 1 do" .E ..-i ~
swell, sir, that We commence right,
please lead in prayer. Ask the God in
whom you believe, to direct US to the
rejection of the Bible if 1t is false, and
if it is true, receive it. We do not want
to be deceived" ..
The man hesitated and said, "Insver
pray, l do not believe in prayer"
Never pray, sir Do you not be-
lievo in prayer, when your God has
done so much for you? Never thank
him for his goodness? HaYe you .
father?
Yes, sir" -t---s
do you never thank hlnr If you
had child whom you had always blest,
would he not thank you when you be-
slowed upon him some little trinket?"
Il suppose he would"
"Well, sir, compare right. Just pray;
pray and thank God"
81 can't pray" -.-
The student then turned to his infdel
companions, and asked them to pray,
and they both declined. With indies
criba5le feelings he knelt, and, with
great freedom, poured out his whole
heart to God As be finished they all
three arose from their seats. The
President passed his fingers through bis
hair, and as he gathered up his books,
said
II think we will talk no more. 1t will
do no good"
The student waited on them to the
door, and in short time after heard
that the infidsl club had disbanded.

Politics In the Pulpit.

At the Brooklyn Tabernacle last Fri
day night, Rev. J. Dewitt Talmadge
delivered discourse on the Infamy of
New York and Brooklyn City Politics,
in which he spoke of John Morrissy and
Patrick Shannon, boiling democrats and

republicans, who are supporting them
with all their might, as follows: s

The St. John Globe relates the fol-
lowing: "Mr. Alexander McAllister
was formerly a resident of Midtown,
St. Stephen. About fourteen years
ago, becoming wearied of the moneton-
Gus life of the little border town, he ran
away from home, and shipped on board
the ship Metropolis. During all these
long years no intelligence had been re-
ceiyed ofhim by his friends, and they
had given him up as dead, until few
months ago he suddenly appeared in his
native town. His story was brief but
q very satisfactory one to his friends.
After leaving home he had made sever
al voyages in the Metropolis, and while
the vessel was at New Zealand deserted
from her. He worked at different
branches of business, finally settled
down as afarmer, and is now worth
between 10000 and $4,000. His
farm is situated in Middle Island, in
Aucklank, and is very extensive one.
Mr.. McAllister is at present at New
York"

SPEAK NO ILL.

Nay, speak no i'll A kindly word
Can never leave a sting behind;
And Oh, to breathe each tale we've heard,
Is far beneath a noble mind.
Full oft better seed is sown
By choosing thus the kinder plan;
For, if but little good be known,
Still let us speak the best we can.
Give me the heart that fain would hide,
Would fain another's faults efface;
how can it pleasure human pride
To prove humanity but base?
No; let us reach higher mood,
nobler estimate of man;
Be earnest in the search for good,
And speaF of all the best We can.
Then speak no ill, but lenient be
To others failings as your own;
Fly you're the first fault to see,
Be not the first to make it known;
For life is but passing day
No lip can tell how brief its span;
Then Oh, the little time We stay,
Let's speak of all the best we can.
