An Illustration Of Our Jury System.

Presently tho stiffness Of the court room
was interrupted by tho entrance of a man
who came in with shufiling uneasy step,
and leaning against the railing. Nobody
took the slightest notice of him, however.
At last he took courage and spoke.
" Is the judge in?"
The clerk Immediately awoke his honor.
"Well, what do you want?"

ANCIENT MUsIC.-Dr. Burney, in his His.
tory of Music, gives the following account
OF ancient instruments: "The Egyptian
flute was only a cows horn with three or
four holes in it, and their harp or Tyre had
only three strings. The Grecian Tyre had
only seven strings, and was very small,
being held in one hand. The Jewish trum.
pets that made the walls of Jericho fall
down were only rams horns; their flute
was the same as the Egyptian; they had
no other instrumental music but by per
cussion, Of which the greatest boast made
was the psaltery, small triangular harp or
Tyre with wire strings, and struck with an
iron needle or stick; their sackbut was
something like a bagpipe, the timbrcl
was tambourine, and the dulcimcr was
horizontal harp with wire string, and
struck with a stick like the psaltery. They
had no written music, had scarcely a vowel
in their language, and yet, according to
Josephus, had two hundred thousand mu
sicians playing at the dedication of the
Temple of Solomon. Mozart would have
died in such concert in the greatest
agonies.

Trials for HereSy.

We look back, in these days, upon the
blunders of our fathers with pity; but as
we turn the pages of colonial history, we
find touch of manliness about the old
trials for heresy which our degenerate
heresy- y-hunters do not seem to possess.
When Mr. Pynehon of the Massachusetts
Colony wrote #book in which he attempted
to prove that "Christ suffered not for us
those unuttcrablo torments of Gods wrath,
commonly called hell torments," the au-
thorities deposed him from the magistracy
and publicly burned his book in Boston
Market; and then they had the dccency
to appoint Mr.. Norton Of Ipswich, under
very handsome pay, considering the times,
"to write an answer 10 the book" Mr..
Pynchon's hercsy has become modern
orthodoxy, and now, if any minister dares
to assert that Christ suffered genuine hell
torments, down goes his house! The
whole matter is pitiful, because It is so
childish. How does this case look, for
another instance? Robert Brecl1, less than
hundred and fifty years ago, said "What
will become Of the hcathcn who never
heard of the gospel, do not pretend to
say; but cannot but indulge hope that
God, in his 6oundless bencvolencc, will
find out a way whereby those heathen who
actuP to the light they have may be saved. ="
That utterance was considered such a
breach of orthodoxy, that he was arrested
by an officer with drawn sword, to be
carried from Massachusetts, to Connecticut
for trial, and refused bail on the ground
that the offence with which he was charged
was "high treason not only against the
King England, but the King of Heaven =
And the poor ass who made this utterance,
and compcls us to laugh at him, was tre-
mendously in earnest,-as much in earnest,
say, as the bodies that have placed their
little ban on Dr. Blauvelt and Mr.. Miller
And the time is rapidly coming when the
action Of those bodies will be regarded pre-
cisely as we regard these mistakes of our
forefathers.-Dr. j. &. HoHr,3; u. " Nit

Sabbath School History.

What inducements had the teachers to
incite them to duty? They had not a
united public opinion in their favcr: for
many did not understand, and some were
opposed to their work Some thought it
was in opposition to tho Charity School
which had been established by the ladies
several years previous, and were indignant
at the innovation. Some were opposed TO
the Union AHance, prognosticating evil
would arise therefrom. One, high in church
authority, was so opposed to it that he de.
clared he would break it up. Bigotry had
so stultiiied the minds of some, that they
looked upon it as an unmitigated evil.
What then sustained them in their work
of faith, and labor of love? 1t was spcial
baptism given them to work in the vine.
yard OF the Lord. And they were not dis
obedient to their high and holy calling.
They sowed the good seed of divine truth,
watered it with their tears, and prayed God
to give the increase. What was the result ?
In 1922 powerful revival commenced
among the children of the Sabbath School.
which we noticed in our history seven years
ago. We also referred to the sainted

the circuit at the time of this revival. His

this school, and were converted in this
revival. Who can tell the aggregate amount

1927. My object has been to save from

Though the Presbyterians were very &C.
tive in the Union School, think at its
dissolution they had no stated minister
nor church in town. am not prepared to
say that they established denominational
school at once, but the Methodists and
Protestant Episcopal lost no time in
establishing theirs, and this year is the
semi-centennial of their existence.
The little lonely school house, bleakly
situated, was exalted more than ordinary,
as 1t sometimes was used by the Presby.
terian congregation who assembled there
to hear some Of their learned diyines

HoMELY GIRLS" How did that homely
woman contrive to get married ?" is not
unfrequently remarked of some good
domestic creature, whom her husband re-
CARDS as the apple of his eye, and in whose
plain face he sees something better than
beauty. Pretty girls who are vain of their
charms are rather prone to make observa-
ton of this kind, and a consciousness of
the fact that flowers of loveliness are often
left to pine on the stem, while weeds of
homeliness go off readily, is no doubt at
the bottom of the sneering question. The
truth is, that most men prefer homeliness
and amiability to beauty and caprice.
Handsome women are sometimes very hard
to please. They are apt to overvalue them.

bid, they occasionally overstep the market.
Their plain sisters, on the contrary, aware
of their personal deficiencies, generally lay

MASKED BATTERIES.

fyOu'll keep it secret-honor bright
I'll tell you little story, Joe;
Something that happened to me last night
Here at the masquerade ball you know
You may have noticed I've spOoncd of late
On Laura Clyde-nothing else to do
She's rather pretty-at any rate
Fond of flirting, and am, too
Laura's friend of my sister Fan;
Her room joins mine and the walls are thin,
So l. by accident, heard them plan
Their dresses for masqucrading in
The ball was lovely, the costumes fine,
And either dancing or iced champagne
Can't say which, but expect the wine
Just a little confused my BRAIN
So meeting Laura-a gypsy maid
Knew her at once by her dress, you see
took her out for a promenade
On the piazza alone with me-
" Flirted?' Said was deep i'll love-
Madly worshipped the ground she trod,
Vowed it by all below, above;
Did she return it Pa word, a nod?
The fair head dropped in assent; and
Snatched off the mask-with rapture kissed her;
a peal of laughter was my reply;
By JOve! Old boy, it was my sister.
Laugh at me, Joe! Don't spare my pride:
Nor mind my feelings-I feel so glad
1t was my sister, not Laura Clyde;
Heavens! What an escape had!

A BABY WITH A HoRsE's FACE.-A male
child four months old was taken by its
mother, Mrs. Margaret O'Hara, to the
Eastern District Hospital-o of Brooklyn, last
week, to be operated upon for malforma.
ton of the face, which gave it somewhat
the appearance of horse. An elongation
OF the nasal bones, which swelled out
towards the chin and met the lower lin.
which was thus depressed, gave the ap.
pearance OF two large nostrils. The resem.
blance was increased by the stertorous
breathing of the child. DIR. Brady had the
infant put under chloroform, and in about
half an hour handed tho child back to its
mother with mouth, nose and nostrils-
an ugly looking child, but still with a
child's face. The flesh was cut from the
protuberance, and the bone was broken off
to the length of an ordinary nose. The
cuticle and flesh so cut away were formed
into the base of the nose, holes being made
for thenostrils. The large cavernous open.
ing then seen was bridged across to make
an upper lip by joining the two cheeks.
Mrs. OHara said the cause of the deformity
was an ante-natal shock, received through
neighbor who was driving horse. Her
husband is laboring man, and they have
four other bright children, from two to
nine years Of age. The doformed child is
hearty, healthy infant, and it is thought
will survive the operation.-M Y. Tribune
