No one need fear he will suffer because he
helps the undeserving, is occasionally de.
ceived, is kind TO some one who turns and
smites him, is ready to incur whatever risk
there lies in doing his duty. And what can
not hurt his followers, God will see shall not
hurt his church. Why, the voice of one who
saw Christ only in the dimness Of vision /;
who realized him not as we,-through his
tory and the quickeniug of the Spirit,-but
through the representative of faith alone
the voice of Isaiah rebukes the faltering of
modern caution "Ilo every one that
thirsteth como ye to the aters."-Golden
Rule.

tury.

4 man accused of debt, for instance,
was straightway beaten about the legs I'M
til he could find sureties for the alleged
amount. Failing in this, his hands and
neck were bound together, and in this
plight he was led through the town, beaten
as he went along, and otherwise ill-used.
When brought before the magistrate he
asked: lowest thou this man any such
debtsl" He will perhaps say, "Nay."
Then saith the Judge: Art thou able to
deny itl Let us hear how By oath,
saith the defendant. Then he command
eth to leave beating him till further trial
be had. In that happy land lawyers
were then unknown, and every man plead
ed his own cause--all charges being made
in writing. If a plaintiff could not le-
gally prove his case, he was entitled to
challenge the defendant to mortal com
bat, either in person or by proxy There
were professional champions in those
days, but after a while they fell into dis
favor, being usually more concerned for
their own safety than the vindication of
the cause they had undertaken to uphold
When defendant pleaded poverty he
was placed under the erucifiX, and the
plaintiff swore over his head to the right
fulness of his claim. The poor wretch
thereupon became the Dukes bondman
until such time as his friends were able to
redeem him. Not unfrequently men sold
themselves to mobiles and gentlemen for a
piece of money down, and meat drink and
clothing for life. Some, too, sold their
wives and Acknowledgment.

Hrr. DfO2enes.

This singular man lived in Greece. He was
distinguished for his eccentreities, bad man
ners and bad disposition. II was his chief
bushes to find fault. For example, he took a
lantern one day when the sun was shining
brightly and went out to search Tor an honest
man, thereby insinuating that such persons
were exceedingly scarce. When Alexander, a
distinguished military gentleman, paid him a
yisit,and inquired what he could do for him, he
had the impudence TO tell him to " get out of his
sunshine" To cap the climax Of his oddities,
he dressed like beggar andsliyed In tub! He
was a sour, grabbed, crusty old bachelor We
infer that he had no wife, first, because his
tory does not mention her; second, because
no woman would take kindly to one of his
habits dress, or manners, or aspire to become
mistress to his mansion. There was an old
woman who lived in a shoe" il is true. but the
woman who would live in a t,,b, and especially
with such companion, has not been heard from.
The misanthropic spirit which possessed this
man was doubles due to disordercd digestion
and biliousness, one Of the prominent symp-
toms Of which is a morosc, faultfnding dis
position The tongue is heavily coated. giving
rise to a bad taste, the appetite is not good,
and the patient feels duh, sleepy, or zzy,
and is apt to be fretful. Unfortunately. Mr.
Diogenes lived several centuries before Dr.
Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets were in
vented, few doses of which would have re-
lieved him of his "bilen and enabled him TO
find scores Of .'honest men " without the aid Of
his lantern. Under their magic influence,
combined with that Of the Golden Medical Dis
covery, to cleanse his blood, he might have
been led to take more cheerful view Of life,
TO exchage his tub for a decent hatItgtion, to
spruce up" in personal appearance, and at
last have taken a wife to mend his clothes and
his manners both Of which were in evident
need of repairs, and become the happy sire OF
little Diogeneses who would have handed down
to posterity the name, not Of cynic philoso-
pher but Of a cheerful, healthy, happy, rirtaois

Singing In the Family.

Cultivate singing in the family. Begin
when the child is not yet three years old.
The songs and hymns which your mother
sang, bring them all back to your memory
and teach them to your little ones; mix
them all together, to meet the similar
moods, as in after life they may come
over us so mysteriously sometimes. Many
time and oft, in the very whirl of bust
ness, the sunshine and gayety of the
streets, and amid the splendor of the
drives in the park, some little things
wake up the memories of our early youth
the old mill; the cool spring; the shady
tree by the little hool-house-and the
next instant we also see again the rudy
cheeks, the smiling faces, and the merry
eyes of schoolmates, some gray headed
now, almost lie Wondering in the
grave" And the song my mother
sang springs unbidden to the lips
and soothes and sweetens all these mem
cries.
At other times among the crushing mis-
haps of business, merry ditty of the
the olden time pops up its little head,
breaks in upon the ugly train of thought,
throws the mind in another channel; light
breaks in from behind the cloud in the
sky and new courage is given to us. The
honest man goes singing to his work, and
when the days labor is done, his tools laid
aside, and on his home, where wife and
child, and tidy table, and cheerful fire.
side await him, he cannot help but whistle
or sing.

A Hawk Among Hens.


Gilbert White tells a most dramatic
story of a neighbor who had lost most of
his chickens by sparrow hawk that came
gliding down between fdggot pile and
the end of his house, to the place where
the coops stood. The owner vexed to see
his flock diminishing, hung net between
the pile and the house, into which the bird
dashed and was entangled. The gentle
mans resentment suggested fit retalia
ton; he therefore clipped the hawks
wings, cut off his talons, and, fixing a
cork on his bill, threw him down among
the brood hens. g Imagination, says
Mr.. White " cannot paint the scene that
ensued; the expressions that fear, rage
and revenge inspired were new, or at least
such as had been unnoticed before; the
exasperated matrons upbraided, they ex-
ecrated, they insultcd, they triumphed.
In a word, they never stopped buffeting
their adversary till they had torn him in a
hundred pieces.

The Chinese Remedy a Failure.
rom The Norr,Stoun CPa. /, Herald

Prom the Norrfstcwn tfa.l Herald.
A Chinese physician says that in case
of nightmare, instead of rudely awaking
the sleeper by bringing in light, you
should "bite his toe" This is very
simple remedy-at least Mrs. Poppleton
thought so, for she treasured the recipe
up in one of the chambers of her memory,
and the other night when Poppleton was
seized with two-horsepower nightmare,
seventeen hands high, and in a muffled
and ghostly voice muttered. "Owho-
whwOh. Ughughughuhu." as if a circus
elephant was performing tricks on his
stomach, she quickly slid TO the foot of
the bed, and was in the act of Selling his
big toe in her teeth, when the dreamer
gave a vigorous kick and Mrs. Poppleton
was shot over the tail-board Of the bed
on to the floor, with four teeth half way
down Der throat The noise awakened
Popplet0n, and hearing his wife scream
ing at the rate of forty knots an hour, he
seized a chair and wildly struck right and
left all over the room, nearly Draining
Mrs Poppleton before he discovered the
true situation of affairs. 1t was terrible
mistake, and Mrs. Poppleton was laid up
two weeks and five days, and the first
thiig she did when she recovered suffi-
cient strength was to smash $175 worth
OF Chinese cuIiosities she had purchased
at the Centennial, and she says if she
were man she would go TO China and
not return home until she had spit upon
that physician from igure-headto rudder.
Or words to that effect Poppleton en-
oys his Nightmares as of yore, without
wifely interference.
