The irreverend Ingersoll had best steer
clear Of the District of Columbia while
on his infdel lecturing tour. The Attor-
ney General has given it as his opinion
that the old Colonial law against revilers
Of the Scriptures is still in force in the
District. The first section of this law
provides that, eff any person shall deny
our Savior Jesus Christ, to be the Son of
God, or shall deny the Holy Trinity, the
Father, Son and Holy Ghost, or the God
head of any of the three Persons, or the
unity of the Godhead, or shall utter any
profane words concerning the Holy Trim
ity or any of the Persons thereof, and
shall be thereof convicted, he or she shall
for the first offense be bored through the
tongue; for the second ofense shall be
stigmatized by burning the forehead with
the letter B, and for the third offense
shall suffer DEATH" After being "bored
through the tongue" we hardly see how
the second or third -ofense can be com
mittcd unless in writing.

SOCRATES, for these many ages, has
been held up as the model of Pagan per
fection. His teachings were foretaste
Of the lessons inculcated by Him who
spake as never man spake. His patience
with refractory pupils was inexhaustible
He never birched them. His forbear,
ance toward scolding, turbulent wife
was sublime. Her millinery bills were
always paid without murmur. His pa,
tience under persecution was worthy of
Christian martyr, and he met death
with heroism that of itself ought to
preserve his memory from detraction.
And yet Pulcifer, the Murphy orator, at
recent temperance meeting, denounced
that good and wise and patient and for
bearing old man to his audience because
he died from the effects of strong drink !

OS O6S GAAs
The scene was in the middle of the
Neosho at Rinker ford. She was a
gOlden-haired blonde. He was a tall,
handsome young man with prospec-
tive mustache scarcely visible from
the bank of the river, and the horse
was balky. Those who were out rid
ing on the BurlIngame road northeast
of town on Sunday evening last, will
readily recognize the above outline of
well-nigh tragic scene there enacted.
Several buggies passed while the
young man vainly tried to induce the
old mare to proceed. At last Mr.. D.
took pity on the fair damsel, and re-
crossing took her into his buggy and
landed her safely on the bank. The
young man became desperate at seeing
his companion thus ruthlessly torn
from his side, and began pouring on
the persuasive whip, whereupon the
refractory beast lunged furiousIy and
severed one shaft from the buggy. At
this stage of the proceeding some of
the bystanders suggested that he had
better loose the animal and pull the
buggy TO the shore himself, but our
hero was evidently afraid to soak his
feet, and leaning over the dashboard
he attempted to mend the break, but
could not readily get the parts to-
gether, and 20 accomplish this he gave
the nervous nag another lift with the
line, causing her to suddenly wheel
round and break the remaining shaft.
The thought now presented itself TO
the young mans mind that perhaps he
had best unhiteh his horse, which he
proceeded to do, and lifting the shafts
into the buggy he sat down TO reflect
upon the situation. Finding himself
free from the buggy, this terrible
beast walked out farther into the
stream pulling the lines from the hand
of the driver, then turniag around
looked innOcently into the face OF the
Respondent youth, as much as to say !:
swell, how do you like the situa-
ton ?"
Reader, can you picture in your
mind the anguish of soul which filled
the bosom of our hero at this moment,
his horse standing in the middle of the
river, his girl seated on the opposite
bank watching with breathless anxiety
the fate of her lover, and himself seat
ed in the vehicle devoid of propelling
power. He no doubt thought of the
condition of those socks which in his
haste he had neglected TO change for q
clean pair before starting, and there
fore it would not do to take OF his
boots After few moments reflection
he deliberately remarked, 81 guess I'll
have to get out and pull the buggy to
shore" Then rolling his trousers way
up above his boot tops he lunged In
shoots and all.o
When last seen his two feet were
about two feet under water, and he
was heroically Juggling at the rear
axle-tree trying to land his vehicle on
terra Jff1ad.
Later-Mr. D. informs us that he
remained until the buggy was safely
landed, and that at her request, he left
the young lady on the west side, while
Adolphus, with his unbroken horse and
broken buggy, was looking with long
ing eyes from t.the other shore.''

OLD FASHIONED HE'LL.
It's Exact Geographical LOcatiOn-A
Realistic Description OF the
Place of Eternal Torment.


Place of Eternal Torment.
The following description of the
place of eternal torment, by Rev. j.
5. Furnis, G. s. R. r., was published
by authority in England, and was de-
signed for the instruction of the young.
awe know how tar it is to the mid
die OF the earth; it is just 1000 miles ;
so if hell is in the middle of the earth,
it is 1000 miles to the horrible prison
OF hell. Down in this place is terri
BILE noise. Listen to the tremendous,
the horrible uproar of millions and
millions of tormeAted creatures, mad
with the fury of HE'LL Oh 4! the screams
of fear, the groans of horrors the yells
of rage, the cries of pain, the shouts of
agony, the despair from millions on
millions! There you hear them roar
ing like lions, Kissing like serpents,
bowling like dogs and waiiing like
dragons. Then you hear the gnash-
ing of teeth, and the fearful blasphe-
mics of devils. Above all you hear the
roar of the thunders of Gods anger,
which shakes hell to its foundation.
'tBut there is another sound like
many waters. It is as If ali the rivers
and oceans of the world were pouring
themselves with a great splash down
on the floors of hell. Is it really the
sound of waters? 1t is. Are the
oceans and rivers of earth pouring in
to hell? No. What is it, then? 1t is
the sound of oceans of tears running
down from millions of eyes. They
cry forever and ever. They cry be-
cause the sulphurous smoke torments
their eyes. They cry because they are
in darkness. They cry because they
haYe lost the beautiful heaven. They
cry because the sharp fire burns them.
The roof of hell is red
hot; the walls are red hot; the floor is
like sheet of red hot iron.
"See, on the middle of that red-hot
iron floor stands a girl. She looks
about sixteen years of age. She has
neither shoes nor stockings on her feet.
The door of this room has never been
opened since she first set her feet on
this red hot floor. Listen, she speaks.
She says: Il have been standing with
my bare feet on this red hot floor for
years. Day and night my only stand
ing place has been this red hot floor.
Sleep never came to me for moment,
that 1 might forget this horrible burn
ing floor. Look at my burnt and
bleeding feet. Let me 60 off this burn
ing floor tor a moment-only for a
short moment. Obi that in this end
less eternity of years, might forget
the pain only for moment. The devil
answered her question: DO you ask
for moment-tor moment to forget
your pain? No, not for one single
moment during the never ending eter-
nifty of years shall you leave this red
hot fioOr.'"

The Coal BEDS OF CarNA-Baron
Won Richthofen, in q communication
to an Austrian journal, calculates the
coal product of the Chinese empire at
three million tons annually. All the
eighteen provinces of the empire, he
says, contain coal; and although the
extent Of the coal fields and the age
and quality of the coal vary, yet Chi
us may be regarded as one of the first
coal countries OF the world. The area
of its coal fields exceeds the extent OF
those of North America, and with that
of Shansi no other coal region can be
compared in the union of the most for
tunate conditions as regards position.

We lay us down to sleep,
And leave 10 God the rest,
whether TO wake and weep
Or wake no more be best
Why vex our souls with care?
The grave Is cool and low
Have we found life so fair
That we should dread TO go?
We've kissed loves sweet, red lips,
And left them sweet and red;
The roses the wild bee sips
blooms on when he is dead.
Some faithful friends we've found,
But they who love us best,
When we are under ground.
VIII laugh on with the rest.
No task have we begun
But other hands can take;
No work beneath the sun
For which we need to wake.
Then hold us fast, sweet death,
If so IL seemeth best
To Him who gives us breath
That we should go 70 rest,
We lay us~down to sleep,
Our weary eyes we close;
Whether 70 wake and weep
Or wake no more, He knows.
