courts ofjustioe. A man named JAM q
Lewis Paine was reasntly convict d
Of manslaughter, because he kept his
wife in continual state Of iEtoxioa-
ton for two m 'nths and half, there
by causing her death. He enforced
this condition upon her partly BY per-
suasicn and partly BY authority,
thinking that by causing her death IN
this way, he would not be considered
guilty OF murder. Bat he was arrested
and tried, and the Judge charged the
the jury, that If the man merely al.
lowed his wife to slowly poison herfelf
to death by any life-destroying agent,
he was guilty Of manslaughter; while
II he deliberately sought her death in
any suoh way, he was guilty Of muir.

the benefit Of the doubt and was SEN

A Sunday School Drama.

The New York Times reports the
sad, sad failure of d Sunday school
drama in an eastern Congregational
church. Catching inspiration from the
dramatization of "Pilgrim's Progress
by George Macdonald, the wife of the
superintendent attempted to do ii sim-
liar thing with the life of Elisha the
prophet. The play was written, and
submitted to the pastor and Prudential
Committee, who were favOrahly i'm
pressed with its merits. The lecture
room, with temporary stage and il red
drOp-curtain made Il neat little theater,
which was crowded half an hOur before
the performance was to begin.
The prophet was Il large man, with II
long, white beard, and walking stick
of great size, and carried his stOve-pipe
hat in his hand TO exhibit his badness.
The fOrty-two boys were ready for him.
He inquired the way to the post-office,
near the Railway Hotel" but could
get no information. nor even civil
answer from them. They chaffed him,
in fact, and when he said that they
were a disgrace to their parents, they
triumphantly said, that they "hadn't
got nonen-that they were ''orphins."
He bore it all kindly and patiently, but
when they began to advise him to 'buy
wig" and use somebody's chair re-
storer," Elisha could bear it no longer,
but gave two shrill whistles that were
answered from among the mock trees
by the appearance upon the stage of
two bears, who fell upon the children,
and began to tear them in pieces.
All but one. He did not seem to
| have haan nrnnarlv inStrnctaI lilo tha
rest; for he did not fall down to the
ground, and INCREASINGLY wait for the
bears to claw him to bits. Quite the
contrary in fact. Seiziug stick near
by, he hit one of the bears resound-
ing whack over the head, which brought
from that surprised animal the ex-
clamation "By gosh !" Leaving the
forty and one PROSTATE children, the
incensed brute rose Oh his hind legs,
and bit that boy a beautiful blow,
straight from the shoulder. The two
then rushed together, and fought all
over the stage, the other bear encour-
aging his mate with cries of ''GO in I"
The prophet, hearing the uproar, turned
back, and with his big staff belabored
both bears and the bey, putting pre-
mature end to the performance by
knocking dowu the chandelier with his
stick. We fear that so signal failure
to induce the right sort of religious
feeling will deter for some time the
introduction of the drama into the Sun
day schools of this country.
