Finding "Girl" i'm the Bible.

An English town missionary, short
time ago, related remarkable incident
There was lodging house in his dis
trict, which he had long desired to en-
ter, but he was deferred from so doing
by his friend, who feared that his life
would be thereby endangered. He b.
came at length SO uneasy that he de-
termined to risk all consequences and
try to gain admission. SO one day he
gave somewhat timid knock at the
door, in response to which coarse
voice roared out: Who's there?" and
at the same moment a vicious-looking
woman opened the door and ordered
the man of God away.
Let him come in, and see who he is
and what he wants." growled out the
same voice. The missionary walked in,
and, bowling politely to the rough-look
ing man whom he had just heard speak,
said
L have been visiting most of the
houses in this neighborhood TO read
with and talk to the people about good
things. 1 have passed your door as
long as feel ought, for l wish also to
talk with you and your dodgers"
"Are you what is called town miss
ionary?"
1 am, SIR" was the reply.
"Well, them" said the fierce-looking
man, "sit down and hear what /
am going to say. If you answer me
right you may call at this house and
read and pray with us and our dodgers
as often as you like; but if you do not
answer me right, we will tear your
clothes off your back, and tumble you
neck and heels into the street. Now
what do you sey to that? for am man
of my word"
The missionary was perplexed, but at
length quietly said:
81 will take you
"Well, then," said the man, "here
goes. Is the word girl in any part of
the Bible? If so, where can it be found
and how often? This is my question"
We'll, sir, the word girl is in the
Bible, bat only once, and may be found
in the words of the Prophet Joel, iii. 3.
The words are And sold girl for
wine, that they might drink"
"Well," replied the man, 1 am dead
beat; 1 burst to have bet e5 you could
not have told" And L could not have
told yesterday" said the visitor. For
several days have been praying that
the Lord would open me way into this
house, and this morning, when reading
the scriptures in my family, was sur
prised to find the word girl, and got the
concordance to see if it occurred again,
and found it did not. And now, sir, 1
believe that God did know, and does
know what will come to pass, and surely
His hand is in this for my protection
and your good"
The whole of the inmates were
greatly surprised, and the incident has
been overruled to the conversion of the
man, his wife and two of the dodgers

London SCOT.

SCOT is valuable enough to be adult
Grated. Chimney-sweeps say that the
value of bushel of SCOT and the cost of
the quartern loaf always tally. Just
now this happens to be the case, but 1
am not sure about the always" Ow-
ing to the amount of sulphate Of am
monia it contains, SCOT used to be ex-
ported in considerable quantities to the
West India sugar plantations, and it is
still valued manure at home. Sheep
and cattle feed greedily on pasture the
SCOT has fertilized, and it imparts
markedly bright green to grass and
grain. From it, moreover, bistre is
manufactured, and coloring matter for
paper hangings. Like pyroligneous
acid, it has been used for the curing of
meat, and with similar effect i'm

taste as if it had been smoked. The
best SCOT is said to be that swept from
kitchen chimneys, well impregnated

legislature the old cry Of "robcl" is poured
out OF every radical mouth. That this cry

ignorant. There is no part OF this Union

BARBAROUS TREATMENT OF RUS.
SIAN PRISONERS.

4 dispatch dated St. Petersburg, Russia
says;
\ correspondent writes that persons under
arrest in kicil prison resolved some time
ago to tunnel under the walls and escape.
The scheme was betrayed by one Of the
cOnspirators. The authorities allowed the
prisoners TO continue the excavation. When
the tunnel was completed and the prison
crs had entered it one after another intend
ing to come up through the opening hey
ond the prison precincts, soldiers, previous
| ly posted at the opening, shot the escaping
| prisoners as they came up. When the
bulk of the prisoners, terrified by the noise
Of the firing, stopped and remained in the
| tunnel, the soldiers were sent in from be.
! hind, and the unfortunate wrctchcs, caught
between fires, were all shot down. The
proceeding seemed to give the officials
| much amusement, and the Director of the
| Kicf prison then praised and decorated
them for having acted with such clcarness
and decision. Quite in keeping with this
is the statement published by the Russian
chaplain in the Central Prison at Charkof'
in an official announcement. He de-
clarcs that Of the five hundred prisoners de-
tanned at that prison, twohundrcd died with
IN four months One Of the heaviest char
gcs made by the Nihilists against the Rus
sian official administration was the brutal
treatmentment Of prisoners, in consequence
Of which the health Of most Of them had
broken down, many dying and some being
