God is Love.

God is life. God is blessed in himself.
This mystery is revealed unto us because
Scripture teaches us that God is Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost. Therefore is Jesus
called the only begotten of the Father, who
was in the bosom of the Father, who had
glory with the Father before the foundation
OF the world. But some one asks me-" Is
not all this very deep theology? What use
is that to me2" My dear friend, | would
not part with this for all the treasures OF
the world. Jesus wishes you to know the
love wherewith the Father loved him from
all eternity, and for the simple reason that
il is this very love which he now bestows
upon you. II we did not know the infinite
love OF the Father to the Son We could never
know Gods infinite love.-Dr. Saphh.

THE NUMBER NINE.-The most romantic
Of all numbers is the figure O., because it
can't be multiplied away or got rid of any
how. Whatever you do, it is sure to turn
up again, as was the body of Eugene Aram's
victim. One remarkable property of this
figure (said to have been first discovered by
Mr.. Green, who died in l79D is that all
through the multiplication table the product
Of 0 comes to 0. Multiply by what you
like, and it gives the same result Begin
with twice 0, IS; add the digits together,
aud and make 0. Three times are 81 I;
and 2 and are o. So it goes on, up to
eleven times 8, which gives 90. Very good !;
add the digits aud 8 are Is, and s and
are 8. Going on to any extent it is impos-
-siblo to get rid of the figure 0. Take a
couple of instances at random. Three hun
dred and thirty-niue times 0 are 3,05l; add
up the figures and they are 0. Five thou
sand and seventy-oue times 0 are 45,639 the
sum of these digits is 27 and are o.

Preach Authoritatively.

Mr.. Spurgeon, the London preacher, said
lately, that he had heard great deal about
sympathy with modern doubt He had no
sympathy with it, and would not fight with
the wooden sword of argument, but with
the true Jerusalem blade alone What they
had to say to people was, "This is Gods
Word, and you have got to believe it," and
they might tell them that If they would not
believe it they would be cast into hell, what
ever Canon this or Canon the other might
say. To be strong they must be dogmatic.
They might read any number Of articles in
the Nineieenh Century or the Fortnighily
Repie,c, but in the end they would have TO
make 1t up with their Bibles, If they had
Quarreled with them.

Geography of VermOnt-..NO. 4.


After sufficient time has been spent with
mountains and rivers to enable the pupils to
permanently fix them in their minds, let
them make each county special study.
The counties should be studied in the order
of their location, and not in alphabetical
order, as our textbooks usually arrange them.
1t matters not where we begin but as we
began the study of the rivers with the north
eastern corner of the state, we will follow
the same order with the counties. Our first
county, then, will be Essex, which is bounded
on the north by the Province of Quebec, on
the east aud southeast by the Connecticut
river, on the southwest by Caledonia, and
on the west by Orleans county.
This county is long and narrow, the south
ern part terminating in point. The princi'
pal rivers are the Nulhegan, flowing across
the county in south-easterly direction and
emptying into the Connecticut at Bloomfield,
and the head branches of the Moose, Pas.
sumpsic and Clyde, in the western part. The
soil contains large quantities of granite and
rapidly deteriorates when under cultivation,
except on the intervals along the Connect
cut, where many excellent farms are found.
Except Grand Isle, this is the least popu-
lous county of the state. There are no
very important towns, four as yet being un-
organized. Guildhall, the shire town, stu
uated on the Connecticut little south of
the center, Lunenburgh and Concord in
the southern part, and Brighton in the
western part, are the most important towns.
Brunswick contains one of the most remark.
able mineral springs. in New England, and
is quite favorite summer resort. The
Portland and Ogdensburg railroad enters
the state at Lunenburgh and crosses the
southern part of the county. The Grand
Trunk enters the state at Bloomfield and
passes across the county in northwesterly
direction. Island Pond, in Brighton, is the
terminus of the Portland and Canada
business.
The above is brief outline of the lesson
that should be given in each county. OF
course the more important counties will re-
quire more study than Essex. The teachers
can vary the lessons to adapt them to his
class, and the time that can be devoted to
the subject. In all cases, the location
boundary, rivers, important towns, and large
business enterprises should be learned. If
the class is sufficiently advanced, and the
time will admit, it is well to add to the
above the important educational institutions,
penal and charitable institutions, also rail
way functions. The study of the counties
will take the most time and is the most i'm
portant part of the entire subject.

CARRIAGE FACTORY FIRE.
Louis Cooks Establishment Burned to
the Ground.

Shortly after 10 o'clock last night the
carriage factory of Louis Cook, situated on
John street between Belts and Laurel, took
fire, and with the exception of the new
building on Belts street, burned entirely to
the ground. The fire is supposed to have
started in some mysterious way in the Sec
ond story of the frame structure over the
engine-room, and owing to the dry material
upon which the flames had to feed and the
delay in turning on the alarm, the flames
had made such headway before the arrival
of the Department that it was impossible to
save the greater portion of the building,
and portion of the streams of water were
turned upon the surrounding buildings,
which were in great danger of igniting.
The fire burned fiercely until the build
ing was consumed and could be seen from
all parts of the city, filling the air with
burning fragments, and brilliantly lighting
the entire neighborhood.
The factory consisted of an old thu,
story brick building at the Laurc,.s roo ee )
corner q new four-story ware. h.,use on ~ u.
Betts-street corner, and a new three.storv .
frame building between the other two. The
ware house was damaged only by water
but the other two buildings, with ali the
stock and machinery except a few carriages
which were saved, were entirely DESTROYED,

SEDALrA, Mo-, July 9,-The execution of
Frank Davidson, whose application for a
new trial was overruled May Dist, occurs
this afternoon at Warrensburg thirty miles
from here. The prisoner had been confined
in the Jail at this place, but was taken to
Warrensburg by the Sheriff of that county
last evening. All preparations for the exc
cution are complete, and Davidson awaits
them with apparent cheerfulness.
The crime which he atones on the scat
fold to-day was committed last September
short distance from Warrensburg, at a
country picnic, the murderer and his vic
tim being both young farmers of this coun-
ty The difficulty originated in indecent
proposals made at the picnic to the wife of
Will Hagerty, the murdered man, by Da-
wilson. Mrs. Hagerty told her husband,
and he Immediately called Davidson to an
account and was shot down in his tracks
and instantly killed. He was pierced with
three bullet-holes, one in his breast and
two in his back. 1t was a wanton murder,
and the sentence met with general ap-
proval.
Davidson came here from Ohio, where he
was born.
