/ The revelations which were made tO
Mohammed are contained in the khOran
which has ever been and still is the
Bible of his followers. Ii is divided
into li4 chapters, which were delivered
at different times through a course of
years, as circumstances required, the
latter portions often revoking and con-
tradicting the earlier. As the different
portions were given by the angel. they
were proclaimed, and then written
down by scribe on palm leaves, skins
or other fit materials. and these loose
scripts were thrown promiscuously into
an ark or chest. After the Prophets
death they were taken out and pub
lished, without the slightest regard TO
order, method, dates or subjects; so
that the student has no means of find
ing the proper place of any chapter but
by comparing it with the Prophets
history and seeing where it will best
fit the occasion. This makes the khoran
a very difficult book to read or study to
any advantage.
The teachings of the Khoran CORES
pond in many points with those of the
Old Testament, particularly in regard
to the creation of the world, the fall of
Adam, the general deluge, the deliver
ance of Noah and his family in the ark,
the call of Abraham, the stories of Isaac
and Ishmael, of Jacob and the patri-
archs; the selection of the Jews as
Gods chosen people; the prophetic Of
flee, miracles and administrations of
Moses; the inspiration and authority of
the Hebrew historians, prophets and
psalmists, especially of David and Solo
mon; and, lastly, the promise of the
Messiah, with many of the accompany
ing predictions respecting it. They
agree also with the New Testament i'm
the recognition of Jesus Christ as the
Messiah of the Jews, i'm his miraculous
conception, his immaculate nativity,
his numerous miracles, his rejection by
his own countrymen, his condemnation
to the death of the cross, his bodily as
cension into heaven, his officiating
there as mediator between God and man,
and his coming to judge the world at
the last day. The acquaintance of Mo
hammed with these leading facts of our
sacred history may be accounted for by
his lOng-continued acquaintance with
Jews and Christians.
The Inatrina Of ,Ia Ebnra,,
is that so oft repeated, "There is no
god but God, and Mohammed is his
prophet The Trinity is rejected and
also the divinity of Christ. Mohammed
taught the universal providence of God
and kind of predestination-not OF
the Scriptures, but more nearly re-
sembling heather fate. He believed in
an innumerable company of angels, a
future retribution, a general resurrec-
ton and judgment, paradise for the
faithful and a terrible hell for all his
enemies. He believed in purgatory
for those whose moral disorders are
susceptible of cure; but for the misera.
BILE remnant there is no hope.
OF the moral and religious duties in
culcated i'm the Khoran some are COM
mendable and useful. In the former
part of his ministry Mohammed often
enjoined upon his followers the duties
of patience and submission, but in the
latter part they were measurably for
gotten. No duty is more frequently

Self-Infiicted.

\ most remarkable man recently died
at Zurich. His name was Amsterin.
Thirty years age lie fell in love, aud,
like most lovers, got jealous. One day,
while under the sway of the green
eyed monster, he said something dis
paraging about his sweetheart. The
offended beauty resolved to punish him
and Amsterin, to regain her favor, was
forced to swear that he would not
speak another word for the next twelve
months, or till she released him from
the penalty. But before the year of
silence expired the young lady sud-
denly died, and Amsterin, not being
relieved from his oath by the lips of
his sweetheart, vowed to remain dumb
until he joined her in the next world.
And he kept his word. For thirty
years he was never heard to speak, and
he died mute to all around him.

Business Punctuality.

1t is astonishing how many people
are unpunctual. Thousands have failed
in life from this cause alone. Ii is not
only serious vice in itself, but the
fruitful parent of numerous other vices,
so that he who becomes its victim is
soon involved in tolls from which it is
almost impossible to escape. 1t makes
the merchant wasteful of time, saps the
business reputation of the lawyer, and
Injuries the prospects of mechanics, who
might otherwise rise TO fortune; in a
word, there is not profession nor sta
ton in life which is not liable to the
canker of this destructive habit,
Many of Napoleon's great victories
were won by infusing into his subordi-
yates the necessity of punctuality to
the minute. Itwas his plan to maneu-
vre over large spaces of country, to
render the enemy uncertain where he
was about to strike, and then suddenly
concentrate his forces and fall with
irresistible force upon some weak point
of the extended lines of the foe. Exc
cution of this system demanded that
each division of the army should arrive
at a specified spot punctually. for if any
part failed to come up, the battle was
lost. 1t was by initiating his plan that
the allies finally succeeded i'm over
throwing the Emperor. The whole
Waterloo campaign turned upon these
tactics. At Mt. st. Jean, Blucher was
punctual, while Grouchy was not, and
the result was, Napoleon fell and We'll
lington triumphed.
In mercantile affairs punctuality is
quite as important as in military. Many
are the instances in which neglect to
renew an insurance policy punctually
has led to serious loss. Hundreds of
city merchants and manufacturers and
publishers are now suffering in conse-
quence of want of punctuality among
their country customers in paying up
accounts. 1t is sound policy which
moves the banks to insist, under penalty
Of protest, upon the punctual payment
Of notes; for, were they TO do other.
wise, commercial transactions would
fall into extricable confusion. Many a
time has the failure of one man TO meet
obligations brought about the ruin of a
score of others, just as the topping
down of the first in line of bricks
causes the fall of all the rest.

A japanese Theatre.

One of the chief drawbacks to the en-
joyment of a visit TO japanese theatre
is the painfully realistic way in which
many of the tragic occurrences of the
play are represented. In the blood and
thunder melodramas which can always
be witnessed at the minor theatres.
what is wanting in the latter is made
up by the plentiful display of the
former, and so artful are wounds sim
ulated, that the spectator sometimes
finds his nerves put to almost as severe
a test as they would have to suffer were
they called upon TO witness the dread
full reality. A play called "Kohada
,Koheji," which is now being performed
at one of the theatres in Yokohama is
not wanting in these elements of horror,
but an opportunity is also afforded of
witnessing an amusing and more pleas
ant piece Of realism. One of the most
terrible scenes is supposed to take place
during a storm. The Japanese stage
manager disdains to have resource to
that old make-believe method of peas
and shot to simulate the sound of the
rain. He must give his audience real
rain, and so, by means of concealed
pipes, have regular pouring shower,
which continues throughout the scene,
deluging the stage and drenching the
actors. The effect is really admirable,
not only aiding the mimicry of the
scene, but in waiting a cool and re-
freshing moisture through the house.
and it was mostly on this account, we
were informed, that the rain was intro
duced. The play is simple in con-
struction, but extremely interesting,
and contains one scene as sad and pa
thetic as any we have witnessed on the
Japanese stage.-Jdpdn Nail.

car he kissed his brave little wife, and
secured the two villains, who submitted
like lambs. He acknowledged that
Jack Hawk had outwitted him, but
said, smilingly, that the best and bravest
member of the Binkley family had
proved too much for the old offender.
At Terre Haute the villains were
handed over to the sheriff, and as Jack
had been concerned in several murders,
he received life sentence, while his
companion went to Jeffersonville for
long term.
Binkley found himself everywhere
congratulated on the GOODNESS of his
wife, who still boasts, as well she may,
of her capture of Jack Hawk and his
criminal associate.

AT THE PAR.

Who speak, for this mani" From the great
white throne,
Yelled in its Ioseate clouds the voice came
forth;
Before it stood a parted soul alone,
And rolling east, and west, and south, and
north,
Tie mighty accents summoned quick and dead
'Whs speaks for this man ere his doom be
ssd?"
Shivering he listened, for his earthly life
Had passed in dull unnoted calm away;
He brought no glory to its daily strife,
No wreath of fame or genius fiery ray;
Weak. lone ungifted. quiet and obscure,
Born in the shadow, dying mid the poor.
10. from the solemn concourse hushed and
dim.
The widows prayer, the orphans blessing
rose;
The struggler told of trouble shared by him,
The lonely Of cheered hours and softened
woes;
And like chorus spoke the crushed and sad
He gave us all he could and what he had :
And little words of loving kindness said.
And tender thoughts, and help in time Of
need
sprang up, like leaves by soft spring showers
fed,
In some waste corner, sown by chance flung
seed
In grateful wonder heard the modest soul
Such trihes gathered to so blest q whole.
oh We, by circumstances strong fetters bound,
The store so Little, and the hand so frail,
Do but the best We can for all around
Let sympathy be true, nor courage fail;
Winning among your neighbors poor and weak,
Some witness at your trial hour to speak.

Effects of Arctic Exposure.

1t is curious fact connected with
those who were for long period absent
from their ship, the Alert, that the hair
on their faces was bleached nearly
white. The loss of color was gradual,
and although noticed, was never alluded
to, each one imagining tnat his COM
panions' hair was turning gray from
the effects af hardships and anxiety.
1t was only after their return to the
ship that those possessing boards and
moustaches discovered the change of
hue In their own hair. The color
gradually returned In about three
weeks.

The fret assembly of the JAG kson Co.
Literary Association promises to be a
grand success in every particular. The
competitive feature Of it is a grand idea,
its novelty is attractive and it's induce
ments are stimulating. and it is to be
hoped that as such its influence will be
felt by all the people OF our county TO
such an extent as to eventually induce
all to take some part in the competitive
exercises Of the annual assemblies Of the
Association, as well as the enjoyment Of
the entertaining feature thereof If the
public sentiment of our county could be
brought up to the proper appreciation Of
such exercises,we have no doubt but that
the Association will be instrumental in
developing the literary and musical tai
ent Of our county, and elevating and re-
ining the taste of our society at large.
With such laudable objects we have no
doubt but success will eventually crown
the efforts, and this being the first effort
we feel like urging our people in general
to turn out, being confident that they
will not regret it afterwards. The Com
m 'ttee have gone to a great expense in
a tent for the occasion. which
will be of great value and usefulness in
the the future, all for public benefit, and
no private interest to be promoted by
the enterprise. Let all come provided
to remain for the evening concert.
