Mr. Bordenbait " Judge, have no rhumatics
and he painted me NIT rhumatism arm. l have
no knuckles i'll that portrait"
His wife then chiDed in, saying, Ny children

tirely disappeared He ate heartily yesterday
and talked with much cheerfulness, appearing to
lie mentally as bright as lie ever was. During sleep
the injury to the brain shows itself in ncohercnt
talk about his lessons in school and games with his
companions. Several physicians are taking a deep
interest in this case, but are not Wiling TO express
any professional opinion as 10 the boys prospects

The Neyer.Faillng Grace.

Posthumous praise of a man is so common
and withal so indscriminate as to render it,
in itself considered, of comparatively little
value; and yet it sometimes serves TO en-
force lesson of practical charity which
may be of inestimabe value. The recent
death of William Lloyd Garrison, the great
emancipation has been widely and properly
made the occasion and the theme of pulpit
eulogy among all denominations. Aud this
was well, for he was emphatically an apos-
tie of practical righteousness powerful
teacher Of the gospel of him who came to
preach delverance to the captives and the
opening Of the prison doors to those that
are bound" But we cannot forget that
while he was fulfilling his mission, the
church denounced him and he denounced
the church. The church mathematical
Garrison because they regarded him as a
fanatical scoffer and disturber of the
peace of Zion. Mr.. Garrison withdrew from
the church because, as he thought, he saw
in it time-serving organization, which
cared more for creeds that for practical
humanity, more for popularity than for
righteousness, more for the fellowship of the
stakeholder than for the honor and glory of
God. For the same reason, too, Mr.. CARR.
son denounced the constitution and govern.
ment of the United States, which were, in
his opinion, merely instruments of oppres-
sion and bondage He believed that both
church and state had made an "agreement
with death and covenant with hell" and he
would, therefore, have nothing to do with
them. But when, in fullness of time, the
great proclamation set the blacks free, this
incorporating foe of slavery, at public
meeting in New York, declared that snow
that death and hell had seeded, he had
no quarrel with the constitution :" and his
hostile attitude toward the church ceased
also from that time. And now both church
and state rise up to praise his name and do
honor to his memory. Looking back over
the record, how distinctly and forcibly are
we taught lesson of that "charity which
never faileth."
