Tho Old Man who sm,lsa.

One time there was good old man liv-
ing in Detroit. His back was bent, his step
was slow, and men who gazed upon his
snowy locks and wrinkled face whispered
TO each other:-
"He is a good old man who has not long
10 live"
The old man had been we'll off in his day,
but w hen he found himself on the shady
side of life, wife dead and home broken up,
he said to his only son:-
"Here, William, take all have, and let
your home be my home until die."
The son took the papers-you bet he did !!
and the father was given a cozy corner,
a big, chair, and a corn-cob pipe. All went
well for year or so, and then the son and
the sons wife began 10 make 1t uncomfort-
able for the nice old man in the corner.
They threw out hints, deprived him OF his
comforts, and, one cold day in winter, he
was told that he bad better go 10 HALIFAX
Nova Scotia.
The old mans heart was sore as he went
out into the world 10 battle against hunger
and cold, and when night came he covered
in doorway and wept like child.
"Who is making that chin-music up
there r. called reporter, whose steps had
been arrested by sobs, and he went up the
steps, patted the old man on the head, and
by and by the story was told.
"Come down to the station with me-"
said the reporter, taking the old mans arm.
"Your son is first cousin TO the man who
preferred buzzard to lamb, and I'll help
you fix himp
Next morning, one of the daily papers
contained an item TO the effect that an old
gentleman named Goodheart had been
found wandering in the streets at night,
and that when taken 10 the station $4,000
worth OF United States bonds were found
on him. The old man read 1t over three
times, slapped his leg as he saw the point,
and beautiful smile covered his face and
climbed up through his hair. In about an
hour his son William rushed into the sta
tion and cried out:-
"Father, dear father, come homel All
OF US were crying all night long, and my

PETER GoELET, the eccentric old bach
elor of New York, is now probably the
wealthiest living representative OF tue old
families of Gotham. His property is esti-
mated at from twenty 10 thirty millions,
the most Of i: having been made by his
grandfather in the hardware trade. A
French emigrani commenced tue hardwar
trade before the Revolution, and by hard
work made money. Every dollar made
was invested in farming lands mile or
more from the store down town. ard for
three generations this has been the rule.
What was farming lands then is covered
with six-slory buildings now, and what
the first Goelet bought for twenty dollars
an acre Is worth to-day hundreds of thous-
ands. There are two OF them left, Peter,
the bachelor, being the best known. He
occupies several lots oil The corner OF Nine
teenth street and Broadway for a residence,
the property being worth probably $780,
600, aud he keeps il that he may have room
for COW, dozen guinea hens, a stork or
two, and a fine lot of chickens. "Uncle
Peter" NJ be is called, has a passion for
this kind OF farming, and he keeps this
splendid property idle that he may indulge
his whinl. lie doesn't put a dollar into
pictures or books; lie hasn't a single piece
OF sculpture; he never travels or sees any
thing never takes part in any public en-
terprise but the money that other men
put into such things he squanders on his
COW aud chickens. Counting interest, it
costs him twenty thousand dollars per year
TO keep that COW, which makes the milk
come al about dollar a drop. II is queer
sight-a COW feeding quietly in the busiest
part Of New York. But this is Goelel's
whim, and perhaps it is as sensible as ma
ny other mems whims. He is over seven
ty, and has not child 10 leave his vast es-
tale 10. His Dephews and nieces are all
very rich, but as they have not "Uncle
Peters quiet tastes, they will not object to
adding his millions to their own.

They are telling enchanting stories OF the
early life Of Justice Bradley. He was the
eldest of ten children, was surprisingly
prscocious, could spell correctly words OF
four or FIVE syllables when but three years
old, could add, subtract and divide readily
before his sixth birthday, could make
rhymes at that age, and while peddling
charcoal through the streets of Albany with
his brother, "the girls would stop him to
read his boyish effusions, aud enjoy a
chat" At sixteen he was teaching a viii
lage school, at the age Of twenty-three he
graduated from Rutgers College, and could
read Hebrew, Greek and Latin as readily
as his mother tongue, and talk huently
German, French, Spanish and italian. And
so he marched onward and upward, taking
early an enviable position at the bar, aud
marrying in good time Judges beauti-
full and accomplished daughter" Here is
'real and true story" as fascinating as a
novel, for The youth of America. From a
charcoal cart to the United States Supreme
Bench II shows what can be accomplish
ed by perseverance, application and indus
try in this land of the free. And 1t proves
another thing. That the good boys don't all
die young. II is related Of Justice Bradley
that he was exceedingly, almost oppressive
ly good. Let the good boys take courage.

THEOLOGY AND CHRISTIANITY.-When
will the world understand that theology is
not Christianity One is human, the other
divine. When will the world understand
that nothing is truer than truth and that
truth is no more sacred when 1t comes 10
US through verbal revelation than when es-
tablshed upon unimpeachable evidencef :
Again and again, in the history Of the
world, have theological dogmas gone down
before truth of science. That which men
have believed through their Interpretation
OF revealed truth, has not been able to stand
a moment before the scientific demonstIa-
tion OF its falsity. Theologians have fought
against II, and they have invariably been
driven 10 the wall. Truth, wherever found,
birth in God. Mans opinions of truth are
never sacred, because they have their birth
in his imperfect and fallible reason. We
know of no reason why theological dogma
is any more sacred than a political dogma.
We cannot understand why, in the interest
Of Christianity, it may not be as freely dis
cussed and examined aud controverted, as
a dogma in political economy. At any rate,
we propose 10 do 1t whenever we have oc-
casion. We are happy TO believe that the
world is beginning TO apprehend that, amer
all our disputes and discussions upon dog
matte Christianity, religion consists Of love
to God and love 10 man, and has lis final
result and grand contamination in charac-
ter.-Dr. j. g. Holland.

Harper's Magazine ho was to take out 10
mamma, and to brush his coat and put on
his watch.
He had left them up there on the sitting.

ment ago. Aud now, how could he believe

1t was near traln-time, and then the idea
that a sneak thief had been in the house |
He ran up to bis room 10 see II he could
have lefl the watch in its case he ran down
calling aloud TO the housekeeper as he went.
But she had stepped out. He ran back
again, and stood still, looking blankly at
the table.
| All at once there was shrill cackle OF
| laughter. The Gray Boy looked up. He
| gave an angry cry. There, 10 the ebony
ring which had been attached 10 the ceiling
| for his swing, high out Of reach, swung the
| Pink Parrot. The gold watch was between
his claws, the chain glitering as it hung.

"Wdit 6iti Wdit bitg' he shrieked.
The Gray Boy danced with rage. While
he was dancing he heard the whistle of the
half past nine train. He wildly flew down
10 the kitchen. The housekeeper had not
returned. He few up stairs again, and,
tears running down his cheeks, he few out
into the street.
"WU you hare IL noU, or pdit until you
can get dS"
This was what the naughty Pink Parrot
sbrleked afler him, cackliRg with derisive
laughter until he nearly fell Off the ring.
Just sobbing with helpless rage the Gray
Boy rushed up the walk toward tall man
in blue with star on his breast. "P'lice
/ say, p'licer'
The policeman was greatly puzzled by
the queer, half-understood request but lie
went into the house. Aud whether the
Pink Parrot bad been used 10 seeing police
men in the green forests of Australia and
knew him at once, l cannot say but
know he started, dodge1, and nearly tum-
bled out of the ring when they entered;
and carefully taking the watch in his beak,
he dropped down to the table with 1t, and,
leaving II, scrambled out OF the room as
fast as ever he could, squealing and cack-
ling like an imp.
The Gray Boy had his watch agaiu, uu-
hurt; but the day was spoilt, bis luscious
grape was not brought back. The train was
gone, and he bad 10 stay in town all through
a lovely Christmas day, aud eat common
place dinner with The housekeeper. And

TIE TALMUD.-Jews, PTotestaDts and
Romanists all agree in receiving as canoni-
cal the books of our Old Testament. But
az the Romanists would add TO these the
apocryphal books, so the Jews insist on
adding their oral law. They say that when
the written law was given TO Moses, in
scribed on two tables OF stone, God also
gave another and verbal law explanatory
of the first, which he was commanded not
10 commit to writing, but 10 deliver down
by oral tradition. When Moses came down
from the mount, they tell us that he first
repeated this oral law 10 Aaron and his
sons, and then TO the seventy, and finally
TO all the people, each of whom was obliged
to repeat it in his hearing, to insure its
correct remembrance. Just before his
death, they say, he spent month and six
days in repeating it to them again; and
then, they assert, he committed it in a spe-
cial manner to Joshua, through whom it
was impaired TO Phineas, and so on thro'
the long line of prophets, and sfterward of
teachers, down 10 the tune OF judah the
Holy, who lived in the second century, by
whom it was committed to writing lest it
should be lost. This work, consisting of
six books. is the famous Mishna of the
Jews, which, with its Gemara, or commen-
tsries, constitutes their celebrated Talmud,
in which is comprehended all their learn
ing and much OF their religion as people.
The whole work is held by them in far
higher esteem than the Bible, SO much so
that they say the Bible is waller, but the
Tulmud is wine; aud they even declare
that he who studies the Bible when he
might read the Talmud does but waste his
time; and that TO sin against the latter is
far worse than 10 sin against the former.
So implicit is their confidence IN this oral
law, that II is almost useless to reason with
a Jew out of the Old Testament; for he is
ever ready with an answer from the Tai
mud, with the authority of which he is
fully satistied.-TTyon Edrdrds in Serb
ner's for February.
