cHooun AND MARBLES.
SAYS that Wise Old Nan Who Lives
IN 0rundy.

By Mr.. Lockhsrt: In relation to the
fsrst dav Of the week. This makes IL un-
lawful 10 play croquet or marbles o" Sun
day.
This terrible and demoralising wee most
be stopped.
The whole Christian world should riss
%, take ID IT. hst, fall on iis marrov
bones, and pray for Bro. Lockhart.
Yes, an. Last summer, hos many times.
ali, have We passed By in the streets In
deep meditation. ah, and happening to look
over into some green. grassy yard. nh. seen
young ladies and young men. oh. s-bea'ins
the devil around the stump With loog-hsn-
died m.lle,s, al! O-O-O-H! gentle
reader, il made our heart bleed to ses then
poor sinners losing 20 much time! And
tho.e young lsdie., an. They never thought
of their poor souls, though they showed
their striped ins.ep clear up to their knee,
an. O-OOH! what wicked sight, ah,-
the croquet, not the knee. We thank thee,
Bro. Lockbart for thine holy bill, and when
il comes up, hope it will receive such
decided vote in the negative ~ TO learn
you 10 mind your own businesa.
Then ~ to marbles.
The uickednes COMPRESSED into this
device Of Belial il absolutely horrifyinR.
We have seen little dirty faced boy. vho
knew no more about catechism than hog.
Just sit outside Of Sunday school and lay
for the good little boys. Then he would
show them q nice place Inaide lumber
ward, and before sundovn that little dirty
faced boy had every Pious marble and
agate in the crowd, and would begin On
their jack knives.
The great crime Of playing marbles On
Sunday threatens to revolutiUnize society
and undermine the moral strength Of the
nation. From . fair contest they will
begin to cheat, and the excited yells Of
went eversw scent dubbs!" "knsekle
down :" ETC., has often made our blood run
cold a. We thought of what bloody TRACE
dy might occur in case the demsnds vere
not complied With.
Another thing We have observed about
Marbles rolling stone gathers no mos.
A probably Mr.. Lockhart's back ID COW
cred with il, he had an eye 70 this fact in
prohibiting marbles.
We don't know what kind Of game Of
poker Brs. Lockhart plays. but presume It
ID square one. We zee nothing in his bill
against poker on Sunday, and hence con-
clude that soul elevaiing Amusement 10 oil
correct.
There are some other crimes to which Ne
wish to call Bro. Lockhart's sttention. such
q eating three meals day on Sunday,
drinking beer, eating ice cream, kissing
wives and sweetheart, counting, reading
the SUNDAY MORNING BAzOO.
We beg that Bro. Loekhart will amend
his bill, and make all the above named
crimes punishable With death.
He can then return to Grundy county
with the most perfect assurance that here
after he will be allowed to remain there.

back into and through the park, and
everywhere that the stick turned while
he was blind folded, it again turned
when he passed over with his eyes open.
Now have satisfied myself by expert,
ment that I can make the stick turn BY
q slight muscular motion, but the ques.
ton is how did Mr.. s. know when he
came to those places privately marked
by me while he was hood -winked. And
again, how did he know when he came
to the spot first selected by him as q
spot where to find waterP Again how
does it come that the stick would turn
at some places when Mr.. s. had q man
each side Of him holding the stick to
prevent its turning? Mr.. s. is quite
anxious to know how it is himself for
when the stick turns with him it is
painful to his arms. There are quite q
number Of questions I would like to ask
but want of space forbids. I think
Prof. Carpenter. DR.. Beard and others
who assert that no man has 4 faculty
not possessed by others, should be able
to explain how it is that we all cannot
play on the piano or any other musical
instrument just as we'll as poor blind
Tom who never saw a note of music in
his life and yet can play anything after
having heard it once, and always has
been able to do 80 from childhood up.
As we do not kno,c whether it is ,oa'
ter that causes the turning Of the stick
We can say nothing further than we
have said, only we intend to investi'
