Murder Will Out.

The popular saying "murder will out y
has as many exceptions as rule in Greek
grammar. Yet, now and then, murder
does out, and that too, in Il way which
seems rs though the voice of God said,
"comc forth !" Mr. Froude, the historian,
tells Il singular, wild tale of two murders
committed by one man, the discovery of
which illustrates the working of those de
tective forces that are not under human
control.
Some fifty years ago, an English fleet
anchored in bay on the coast of Ireland.
A sailor who had by some means obtain
ed II bag of sovereigns, secured them
around his waist and deserted from his
ship. He made his way to farm house
where he was offered shelter for the
night
The farmers name was OBrien, and to
him the sailor showed the gold which he
had brought with him. The sight of the
sovereigns tempted the host to murder.
The sailor fell asleep by the fire. In
the night Kathleen, servant girl, who
slept in the loft above, saw light glim-
meriug through the chinks in the floor.
Looking down, she saw her master stand
ing over the sleeping sailor and killing him.
The body was carried out and buried.
AS the mans presence Mt the farmhouse
was unknown to the neighbors no inquiry
was made for him.
The girl, frightened ut the possession OF
the dreadful secret, did not venture to speak
of it. But one day, in n quarrel, she let
fall word which told him that she knew
Of the murder.
One morning she went out early to milk
the cows. The path ran by the top of a
waterfall thirty or forty feet high. lie fol-
lowed her, watched his opportunity, and
flung her over. The coroner's inquest re-
turned the verdict of death from an acct.
dental fall
O'Brien thought he was safe from detec-
ton. Quietly and gradually he laid out
the sailors money in the purchase of sheep
and COWS.
Seventeen years passed away, and O'Brien
was rich man, the envy of the neighbor.
hood, when suddenly the detective forces
were set to work.
There had been n witness to the murder
of Kathleen A thief, intent on shearing
O'Brien's sheep that he might steal the
wool, was looking from a crag overhanging
and saw the farmer fling the servant girl
upon the rocks below. A consciousness OF
his own guilt forced him to remain silent
But one day, while working in copper
mine, he fell down a shaft. lie was badly
hurt, and believing himself to be dying
sent for priest. In the confession he told
the priest all. The priest insisted that the
man should make public declaration Of
| what he had seen.
A magistrate took the deposition upon
oath. A warrant was issued for O'Brien
and after months of searching he was ar.
rested. He was tried, found guilty, and
after full confession, hanged.

The Lazy Man.

A lazy man is always good natured.
He never flies into passion. He might
crawl into one, if that were possible, but
the idea of flying into one is preposter-
Gus.
Who ever heard of a lazy man breaking
into bank where q crowbar had to be
used, or drilling into a safeP Not but that
he might covet his neighbours goods con-
tanned therein, but the horror of handling
crowbar and drills would always deter
him from actually committing burglary
He never runs away with his neighbours
wife, simply on account of the horror he
has drumming. Ifhe is ever known to run,
it is to seed.
He rarely lies about his neighbors, for it
would be too much exertion; but he lies
about bar-room all day.
He is of inestimable service to billiard
saloons, keeping the chairs warm and
watching the game, for few would care to
play if there were no spectators. The fact
that he does this without pay, day in and
day out, shows the remarkable unselfishness
of his nature.
The lazy man never gets up revolutions,
instructions, or other popular excitements,
and don't make a nuisance of himself by
tramping around the country, making in
cendiary speeches to promote public dis
content.
In his own neighborhood he is never Il
busybody in other peoples affairs, for the
very idea of being busybody at anything
would drive him out of his head.
No lazy man ever ran mad. II lie goes
crazy, it is because he can't go anywhere
else without walking.
Lazy men don't disturb the quiet of
peaceful neighborhoods by putting up
factories, furnaces and other abomina-
tions.

The discussion ofthe first question on the
programme, namely, "How should the

teacher should not only possess knowl-
edge of the Scriptures, but also knowl-
edge of human nature. He should be, as
the Bible expresses, "Apt to teach" 1t re-
quires the highest qualifications to teach a
class of infants. 1t is difficult to gain their
attention and to impress lessons upon them.
Cheerfulness is also an essential requisite
for successful Sunday School teacher.
He was followed by Rev. DR.. Swentzell,
who said that the Sunday School teachers
position was of the highest Importance in

the lesson, with which he proposed to in

the tramp been spoken of as any thing 9TH
er than worthless" ''lazy," "vagabonds,"
"thieves," sc. Happening to live ON q
public road, and one, too, where tramps
most do perambulate, and having received
very many calls from this unfortunate class,
have tried by conversation and frequent

history. The result has been that my feel
ings have entirely changed toward them. =
l have employed them by the month and
by the day, as needed help, and in one
instance eight or ten at once for special
work, and my testimony is that as body
they will compare favorably with the same
number of laborers in this or any other
community where have been. Like men
generally, when times were good they did
not cconomize and were overtaken empty

fishing on the opposite side of the river last

he saw u white object moving on the water.
He pulled to the place and found what
proved to be a bass weighing eight pounds,
with cat.fsh which it had tried to swal-
low fastened in its month. He struck the
fish with his oar and pulled it into tho boat.
The bass had attempted to swallow the
catfish, the horns of the latter became fas-
tened in its gills, and it was unable to
swallow or reject its prey,
