'sHELL.'
A Story and a Theological Argument.
New York Tribune.

Story and Theological Argument.
New York Tribune.
The domestic press teens with theo-
logical lore. The local editors through
out the land. from Cleveland to Atlanta
and from Springfield to San Francisco,
are button-holing ministers of the Cos
pei and putting them through the cate
chism. GOOD morning, reverend sir;
what do you think about hell anyhow p
is the accepted formula. The clergy
seem to be only too glad to undertake
mission work in the newspaper offices,
and the number Of lay sermons on eter-
nal punishment which are now being
laid before the American public, in the
form Of local interviews, is beyond
reckoning. A southern reporter, who
called upon Bishop Beckwith, of Geor-
gla, got story as well as theological
argument. The bishop said that in Vir-
glnla, many years ago, youth was
under the care of one Of thesold negro
mammies." She used to picture to
him many vivid and terrible ii ings that
were to be encountered in the bad place.
BY these descriptions of the torments of
hell she sought to make him abhor evil
and seek to escape its penalties. One
day, after hearing the place spoken of
from the pulpit, the little fellow said to
his Old nurse: NANNY, you say the
wicked folks go to the bad placer"
as, honey, dey all goes down dar,
sho'! Dem dat don't lub and sarve de
Lord mus all go dar!" And you saw
it is all fire and birthstone down there %
OATS SO, honey; de birthstone ar jess

the birthstone from to keep the fire up"
Take keer, honey, don't let dat fool

stone wild yer, an dar's huff in de heart

THE HORSE AND HIS RIDER.

In the history of Rome. says Cook, it is related
that in 33l, B. c., great chasm opened in the
middle of the forum, which 1t was found impos-
sibe to fill The soothsayers said it would close
when 1t contained what Rome possessed of most
value, and then the state would be perpetual.
noble youth named NJ. Curhus, demanded if Rome
had anything of more value than arms and Valor.
He mounted his horse, richly caparisoned and
amid the silence of the people, spurred him over
the brink of the terrible precipice idc Llv. l. vii
g. have seen striking picture of this some
where. 1t represented the horse and rider after
they had passed the brink and were descending
to the unknown depths. There was a remarkable
contrast between the fright of the brute and the
unrufIled selEpOssession Of the man. The limbs
of the horse were tightened to his body and the
muscles of his neck drew his head to his chest,
and shuddering terror expressed itself in the
flash Of his starting eyes. The rider was serene
and calm, with a solemn expression of majesty
on his face, as one who lived with high thoughts.
II were to sPiritualize this picture should say
that It was no mean representation of ripe
Christian departing this life, The horse is the
body and the rider is the spirit Flesh shrinking,
spirit steady and calm and solemn. Flesh dread
ing the terrible shock, and spirit wrapt in the
glory Of action, descending that 1t may ascend.

AN OLD PUZZLE REWRITTEN.

"If you please, sir I'm a poor boy, but I'm aw-
fully smart and want 10 work."
The storekeeper looked at his customer in as
tonishment. The boy was a little bit of a fellow,
and his chin just came over the top of the coun-
ter.
"Well," said the storekeeper, you seem 10 have
a pretty good idea Of yourself"
"Thats SC" said the boy, II lost my last place
cause was smart"
"All right then, I'll show you where you made
great mistake when you say you're smart Do
you see that jug over there?'
mo, sir" said the boy, looking hard at a green
box marked, "Six gross safety pins"
mot there, way back 10 the store"
"Oh, yes, said the boy,
"Now that jug is full of vinegar; 1t holds eight
quarts, but haven't any empty measures except
ing one holding five quarts Now If you're as
smart as you say you are perhaps you can meas
ure the four quarts from the eight quarts by using
the three and Ave-"
"I can do it," said the boy, "just as easy as fish
ing"
"If you do, I'll giveyou two dollars a week and
your clothes No guessing now, you must meas
ure exactly"
"All right" said the boy, "haVe your tailor here
in fifteen minutes to measure me, please"
The tailor might have come earlier, as the boy
had the four quarts Of vinegar measured in less
than five minutes.
How did he do it?

Very few persons have sense enough to despise
the praise of fool.
A doctor may learn to cure by killing, but men

No man is always wrong. clock that does

Courage the commouest of the virtues, obtains
more applause than discretion, the rarest of them.
Let not one failure discourage you. He that

did
Love can excuse anything but meanness; but
meanness kills love, and cripples even natural
affection.
There is no one else who has the power to be so
much your friend or 80 much your enemy as
yourself.
That only can with proprety be styled refine

We are oftener more cruelty robbed by those
who steal into our hearts than by those who break

In some tranquil and apparently amiable ma

The tear of loving girl is like dew drop on

OF all monarchs, nature is the most just In the

Friends should be very delicate and careful in
administering piety as medicine, when enemies

THE SILENT MELODY.

''Brlng me my broken harp" he said

Though all lts ringing tones have fed,
Their echoes linger round II still
II had some golden strings 1, know
But that was long-how long !-ago,
"I can not see It's tarnlshed gold
can not hear Its vanished tone,
Scarce can my trembling fingers hold
The plllared frame 80 long their own
We both are wrecks-a while ago
It had some silver strings, know.
"But on them Time too long has played
The solemn strain that knows no change,
And where of old my fingers strayed
The chords they find are new and strangei
Yes iron srlngs-I know-I know
We both are wrecks Of long ago.
1--WE both are wreolss-a shattered pair
Strange to ourselves In Times Disguise
What say ye to the loveslck air
That brought the tears from Marlans eyes5
Ayl trust me-under breasts Of snow
Hearts could be melted long ago.
"Or will ye hear the stormsongs crash
That from his dreams the soldier woke
And bade him face the lightning flash
When battles cloud In thunder broke?-

We too were worth q thousand menW

"There! ye have heard the air" he cries,
"That brought the tears from Niarian's eyes,
All, smile not at his fond conceit
Nor deem his fancy wrought in vain;

No discord mars the silent strain
Scored on lles latest, starllt page
The voceless melody Of age.

So truly shape our tenderest thought

Our fingers sweep theistringless Tyre
