A GOOD STORY FROM THE SOUTH.

Old John Morris, little Rock negro,
hit upon the idea of Tanner anti-bilious
pills, compounded, as he declared, ac-
.cording to recipe obtained of the great
faster. He sold some to woman, who
died soon after taking them. John was
arrested and taken to court, where the
following dialogue took place:
"Where did you get the medicine
you give the woman ?"
II made hit from directions seut ter
me by DR.. Tanner"
"What are its component parts"
Gifts made outen roots from de
groun' and leaves from de trees. Does
yer want ter buy bottle, Jedge?"
mo, sir, don't The charge against
you is serious one. What made your
medicine kill the woman ?"
"Why, Jedge, de medicine didn't
kill de oman"
"What killed herr"
why, Jedge, de oman died OBJ de
surprise. Yer see she had bin takin'
eberything in de medical market an
hit didn't do her no good. She didn't
hab much confidence in my medicine,
and when she tuck hit an foun' that
hi: went right ter wurk tearin' at dc
corners ob de biliousness, hit surprised
de oman ter death. Yer can't hold
man for surprisin' anybody ter death.
If comes an tells yer good piece OBJ
news, an you falls dead, de law can't
hold me 'sponsible. An cordia' ter de
same 'stronomy, if gins woman
dose OBJ medicine an hit surprise her
ter death, de law can't put de clamps
on me.

of Johns argument, but John is still

A SHORT SENTIMENTAL SER
MON BY P. DOMAIN.

Heaven. What strange notions
many people have in regard to ev-
erything that pertains to religion,
eternity and their souls. Neglect
Of the Bible, the only fountain OF
true knowledge, is the cause. In
their worldly business, there IS no
Ioossness, no vagueuess and indecls-
ion. They study it closely, dill
gently, thoroughly, then mark ont
their plans snd go to work. Butin
all those mighty affairs connected
with their everlasting destiny, what
nisty-muddled, adsurdity-betog
IDEAS what wavorings, doubts and
uncertainties. God, seldom thought
of at all, is dim, indefinite, fsr-otf
being, wrapped in clouds, and IN
different to the small affairs Of hu-
man life-absorbed in mystic medl-
tations upon countless ages past, or
onIy interested ID the movements OF
angels and archangels, eheruoIm
and seraphim. Christ, the savior
Of sinners, ls dreamily regarded as
q good man, who died upon cross
and was afterwards mIraculOusly
rssurrected and borne to heaven.
No distinct appreciation ever enters
their dullard brains of the fact that
the depissd and crucifed Nazarine
was and is the omnipotent Jeho-
Yah, who, in the beginning, spoke
the universe into existsncs, and will
be it's final Judge. And their con-
captions OF heaven-how confused,
how indistinet, how pusrils and
nonsensical.
Heaven What picture rises at
The mention of that name 1t is
not a vast csravansary Of naked
souls, bat-iike spectres, airy moth
ings, invisible and ethersal essences,
airting hither and thither, by, and
in, and through each other. Not
huge, dazzling, binding metropolis
ofhard, cold, glitterIDg je~cls, flash
ing ten thousand gorgeous tints OF
endless light into our unsccustomsd
eyes, and overwhelming, supplying
us with corruscating grandeur and
magnifcsncs. Not great @rial
Jedde, paved with gold fof in such
a case, many good christians Of our
acquaintance would never get their
eyes above their boot toes, and
would spend eternity trying to
pocket the paving stones. Not a
vide-spreading plain, watered by
crystal river, with millions Of white
robed loafors lolling idly on its
banks, with nothing to do but strum
on harpsichords and shout hossan-
mas. Not bit of it. Heaven itself
would grow monotoaous under such
circumstances.
But it is d world Ike THE, purified
from all corruption and decay. A
world, whers we shalt meet and
know each other far better than We
do here for these same bodies will
be there, rssurrected, impsrishable
and radiant with immortal youth
