The Tragic Ending of Long Domes-
tic Quarrel.

ADRIAN BILLS, of Parkinsville, Steu-
ben County, N. Y, married his cousin,
Catharine Bills, twenty-five years ago.
He was well-to-do farmer. Seven
children were born to him. Then his
wife's mother came from Germany and
lived near them. Soon afterward trou-
BILE arose between Bills and his wife.
She charged him with ill-treating her.
She left him and prosecuted him for
assault. Nothing was proved against
Bills and he was acquitted. He and his
wife became reconciled and lived to-
gether again. Soon afterward Bills
barn and other outbuildings were de-
stroyed by fire. Mrs. Bills again left
her husband. Her mother made a
charge Of assault against him. He was
acquitted. His wife then declared that
he had set fire to his own barn to get
the insurance. She had him indicted.
He was tried and honorably acquitted,
not particle of evidence being found
against him. Mrs. Bills then began
proceedings for limited divorce, to per.
init her to live apart from her husband,
but compelling HIM to support her. She
asked for the divorce on the ground of
brutal and inhuman treatment. She
could not establish her charge, and the
divorce was not granted. Bills, how
ever, was ruined by the costs of the per-
sistent litigation that his wife and her
mother carried on against him. He
took all of his children but one and en-
igrated to Colorado to escape the perse-
cutions of the wife and mother-in-la
This was seven years ago. He kept his
whereabouts secret. About a year
ago Mrs. Bills found out by accident
where he was living. She and her
mother removed to Colorado, and took
up their quarters near Bills farm. He
learned that they were near him, and
feared that they intended to set his
children against him. He went to their
house. His wife was at dinner, with
her mother and the son who had re-
manned with her. Bills drew revolver
and shot his wife dead. He then shot
himself. He lived long enough to write
letter to his father, who lives in Steu-
ben County, giving the details of the
tragedy. He justified himself for his
act. Bills begged his father, who is a
farmer in good circumstances, to leave
any money or property that might have
been his after his fathers death to his
four youngest children. Old Mr.. Bills
will take measures at once to have the
children brought East.-N y. Sun.

Snow / Lay Me Down to Sleep"

By virtue of its age and value and
previous associations, this little prayer
has become classic. 1t must be very
ancient, for who can tell when or by
whom it was writtenP Thousands,
from the silver pilgrime to the
lisping infant, sink to nightly slumber
murmuring the simple petition. 1t has
trembled on the lips of the dying.
One instance was that of an old saint
of eighty-siX years, whose mind had so
failed that he could not recognize his
own daughter. every touching (says
the relator). was the scene one night
after retiring, as he called his daughter
as if she were his mother, saying, like
little child, Mother, come here by
my bed and hear me say my prayers
beforeI go to sleep She came near.
He clasped his white, withered hands,
and reverently said:
"'Now lay me down to sleep,
pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep;
IT | should die before | wake,
pray Thee Lord, my soul to take;'
then quietly fell asleep and woke in
Heaven"
A distinguished Judge, who many

old age, said that his mother had taught
the stanza to him in infancy, and that
he never omitted it at night. John
Quincy Adams made similar asser-
ton; and an old sea Captain declared
that, even before he became a decided
Christian, he never forgot it on turning
in at night. An eminent Bishop, in ad-
dressing a Sunday-school, said that
every night since his mother taught it
to him when babe at her knee he was
accustomed to repeat it on retiring.
There is an Gddendatn1 (by whom I'M
known) which brings in the Interces-
sor, giving distinctively Christian
tone to the lines:
"And now lay me down to sleep,
pray Thee, Lord my soul to keep;
If should die before wake,
1pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take,
And this ask for Jesus sake
From another unknown source is a
companion prayer for morning, which
may be welcome to some of your read
er5:
" Now / wake me out of sleep,
j pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep;
If should die before the eve,
l pray Thee, Lord my soul receive,
That may with my Savior live. Amen

- Beareth Ali Things"

THERE are only few who possess
enough of the grace of charity to ''beal
all things Occasionally we see one
of this class, but like the diamonds Of
Golconda," they are very rare, and not
easily found.
We understand the term "beareth all
things" as meaning those who possess
so much of the Christ spirit that moth
ing shall offend them or turn them
moment from the path of duty. While
others fret and mourn over the oppo,
sition and trial that meet them and stop
in their spiritual journey-these keep
onward in the narrow way, never halt
ing OF turning back. If others revile
at them, they ''revile not again." and
still wear the same bright faces that
ever beam with the light of eternal
love. If human nature is ever perfectly
subdu ed bygrace it is exhibited by those
who ''bear all things and "endure all
things"
If there are any that olive above the
clouds upon whose lives eternal sun
light ever falls they are these. If there
are any who everlive in the bright spring
time of ''eternal youth" there are these
who possess SO much of the grentost
grace that they bear and endure all
things for the Masters sake. For His
sake, this is the great secret of holy
life. None can ever fail of becoming
like Christ, who walk in the path Of
duty for His sake. All can learn to beaI
and endure, to hope and believe,
when living holy life for His sake. =
Mrs. N. Il. Holt, IN Baptist Weekly.

THOSE who have undertaken to lead
Christian lives, and who are known to
the world as having made confession of
duties and obligations of high and I'M
changing character, are in constant
danger of permitting themselves to for
get the true nature of their obligations,
and of being more or less influenced by
the purposes and the sentiments of
those who are not Christians at all. He
who would constantly rise higher in the
performance of Christian duty must
constantly struggle so to rise; for in
the Christian life there is rightly no such
thing as stagnation or subsidence.
When we are not positively and ag-
gressively seeking to do right, and to
be worthy of the Name we have named,
we may be sure that our non-action will
result in a practical acceptance of prin-
ciples of thought and life which have
been framed by the enemies of true re-
ligion. In our work and our play, our
thought and our speech, and all the
conduct of our daily lives, it cannot be
doubted that, when we cease to shape
our doings in obedience to our sense of
what is right and wrong in the Chris
tian sense, we fall at once to the level
of those whose principles of living are
essentially worldly and unchristian. 1t
is hard to climb; it is easy to let 90;
and so it is that too many Christians
practically throw the influence of their
lives, or of a very large part of their
lives, into the worldly and material side
of the balance, aud so destroy when it
is their duty to upbuild, and follow the
broad way of popular usage rather than
the narrow one of individual duty.
Take, for instance, but one line of OBJ
legation that of not conforming to low
and unspiritual standards of speech.
Are we always as careful as we ought
to be in what we sag about the religion
we claim to believer Do we always
speak of it as true and holy thing.
about whose verify we have no doubt
Do we talk reverently of its Bible, it's
sacraments and other offices, its serving
ministers, its gatherings and its places
of Worship The non-Christian world
has its own vocabulary of speech con-
corning all these things; do we ever
adopt parts of that vocabulary as ex-
pressive of our own feelings, or, at any
rate, of the feelings which, in our cow
ardly moments, we affect to have? We
may be sure that there are plenty of
people who are ready, and more than
willing, to treasure up what we NAV
lightly say of things which we profess

herring like thin-covered pastry. This
is now placed between two iron plates
indented with little holes the size of the
pill, two turns are given to it in what
may be called baking oven and out
come the pills, each separating itself
from its envelope, smooth, compact and
hard as shot. In fact, they are like
mince-pies in miniature. Any essence in
dissoluble in water can be manufactured
into pills, and, of course, the economy
upon hand labor is very great. The
celebrated Dion mustard is even more
worthy of note as manufacture. Its
peculiar quality is a certain piquancy
not found in any other mustard, of
which there are deservedly celebrated
manufacturers in several other places.
The Dion mustard is always sown on
cleared charcoal beds in the neighbor-
ing forests, spaces difficult to utilize in
any other way, as the young plants of
green peas, potatoes, French beans and
the like would inevitably be devoured
by the rabbits, wild boars and other
animals, who will on no account touch
the mustard plant. The soil gives one
peculiar flavor to the mustard another
is differently to be accounted for. The
mustard when in powder is mixed with
the juice of new wine, lending that
pleasant acidity with which we are ia
miliar. But in order to obtain pre-
cisely the same degree of acidity, it is
necessary that the grape be always in
precisely the same state of unripeness,
a degree more or less making all the
difference. Amateurs of this celebrated
condiment, of which tn consumption is
enormous in France and elsewhere, will
like to have these few particulars con-
corning it. We next come to the no
less famous Dion gingerbread, or pain
d'epice, of which most travellers carry
sample home for their little friends.
The nonnettes, as these cakes are gen.
orally called, figure constantly on French
dinner-tables with the dessert, but few
people, perhaps, suspect their origin.
The pain d'epice is made of honey, rye
flour and spice, no treacle entering into
its composition, as in our own ginger
bread. But honey possesses, as we all
know, besides its agreeable sweetness,
a medicinal quality, rendering the pain
d'epice as useful as it is ornamental on
the family table. Its inventors were,
oddly enough, neither bakers nor cooks,
but the former grand seigneurs of Bur-
gundy. These seigneurs set the exam
pie of curing disorders of frequent oc-
currence by means of palatable cakes;
the bourgeoisie and, in their turn, the
peasants followed their example. Huge
bakeries of the pain d'epice were set up
at Dion. The bakers made large for
tunes, and to this day it is as fourishing
trade as any in Dion, seven large
manufactures now existing there
