1t stands true that he was just rs eager to
overthrow religion as he was to overthrow

of destruction is hardly to be denied. He
was sincere, but often in the wrong. The
public mind must come very slowly up to
new views upon some details of its religions.
and hence Bishop Colenso, a man of piety
and of goodness, has gone beyond Paine in
attacking the liberalism of the Old Testa-

Presbyterian, has said some things about the
Old Testament ages which Thomas Paine

Parable of the Prodigal Son.


Never certainly in human language was
so much-such a world of love and wisdom
and tenderness, compressed into such few
immortal words. Every line, every touch of
the picture is full of beautiful eternal sig
nifcance. The poor boys presumptuous
claim for all that life could give him, the
leaving Of the old home, the journey to far
country, the brief spasm Of enjoyment
there, the mighty famine in that land, the
premature exhaustion of all that could make
life noble and endurable, the abysmal de-
graduation and unutterable misery that fol-
lowed, the coming to himself and recollection
of all that he had left behind, the return in
heart broken penitence sud deep humility,
the fathers far-off sight of him, and the gush
of compassion and tenderness over this poor
returning prodigal, the ringing joy Of
the whole household over him who
had been loved and lost, and had
now come home, the unjust jealousy and
mean complaint of the elder brother, and
then that close of the parable in strain of

A Greenback-fed Cow,
[Globe-Democrat. !

Belleville, H., now comes to the front
with curious incident. Joseph Bussee, a
butcher, purchased q tat COW of j. c.
Little, of Narissa, q few days ago, and
yesterday proceeded to cut the animal up
70 supply the customers of his market.
Upon removing the contents of the stomach,
he encountered small, odd-looking lump,
the nature of which seemed to contrast
stro NICELY with the other and natural sub
stances. He examined it closely, picking
at it carefully until he had spread out be-
fore him $40 bill in perfect good condition
What troubles Mr.. Bussee is the question,
why should the COW carry her money in
her stomach This is easily answered
Having heard of the daring robbery at
Harmony short time ago, and the still
more recent LEM station robbery, she came
to the conclusion that the country was 60
ing to the bad, and decided to put her
wealth where it would be, ss she supposed,
absolutely safe. This is the only really
plausible theory that can be advanced in
the case. Bussee has the $40 in his pos
session, and proposes to hel1 on to it, not
withstanding the statement of some of his
friends to the effect that the money right
fully belongs to Mr.. Little, of whom
Bussee bought the COW. The latter claims
that if Mr.. Little desires to fatten his cattle
on bank notes he (Bussee) has no objec-
ton, but when he sells one he sells all
there is in il.
