Man Here and Hereafter.

The Rev. w. II. II. Murray, of
Boston, thus defines his views Of
the final judgment:
One cannot speak of death with
out thinking of what is called
the judgment day. If the old
fashioned judgment d ay in a scrip
tural necessity, that is, if it is
taught in the scriptures as fact
and not as a figure, 1 should strive
to accept it. But the difficulties
which such theory occasions are
apparent. Such a judgment de-
pends on a localized judge. and, If
locality has any such definition as
we give it here in our language,
where shall we find q locality
large enough to accommodate the
participants in the scene2 The the
orv is that the whole earth is to be
judged, judged in one spot, by one
Judge, in one day. Now the popu-
lstion of the earth is 1,000,000,000,
and a generation dies every thirty
years. In every thirty years then,
1000, 100000 of human beings go
out of the world and 1000, 900
come in. Forty years ago the
church taught that the world was
5000 wears old. She don't to day
pretend to guess within 100000
years how old the world is. Very
we'll, what has been the population
Of the world since the race began
Who can estimate the number
BY what arithmetic shall you COM
pute the swarming millions? Take
the globe and fstten it into a vast
plain, $4,000 miles by twenty four,
and would it accommodate but q
fraction of the human beings that
have lived upon it's surface? Where
Is the locality of the judgement to
be, then. an it have locality? My
conception is that. instead of all
hearts being brought to one judge
in Judgment, one judge and jude-
ment are brought to all hearts. We
are not translated into Gods king
dom, where His throne is set NJ
like the throne of an Eastern po-
tentate, but His kingdom is sstao
lished within us and His throne sci
up ia our consclences; and so judg
ment becomes universal, because
conscience is universal, and emphat-
ic as conscience becomes discrimi
mating.

SAD SCENE AT A GRAVE.
An Aged Father Falls Dead Over
the Coffin of his Daughter.

SALEM, IND, Jan. 12.-Farris
Dalton was one of the old and es-
teemed citizens of this Washing
ton } county. One of his daughters
died last Thursday. The Saturday
following, the body, followed by a
long procession of friends, was con
veyed the little country cemetery
near by. The aged father and
three daughters were near the open
grave, the undertaken removed the
coffin lid, and in Tited the friends to
take a last look at the deceased.
The father stepped to the side of
the coffin, cast one agonizing look
upon the white face of his daugh-
ter, and fell dead beside the bier.
The three daughters Immediately
swooned away, and were also
thought dead. The scene that fol
lowed beggars description.
Agonizing sobs came from all
preseut, and for a time every one
present seemed paralyzed with awe
and fear at the calamity-a vista
tion Of God upon an entire family.
After a time the three daughters
revived. The aged fathers dead
body was carried back to his home
and prepared for burial; and now,
side by side, father and daughter
sleep in peace, awaiting the great
awakening.

A Judgment of Solomon.

In some ancient monkish manu-
scrips in France occurs the follow
Ing interesting story, which has no
pace in the Bible itself, though II Is
IN the original pre6xed to the Pro
verbs of Solomon. II appears to
have been a great favoTlte IN The
middle ages; and was often related
from the pulpit. A King, in some
domestic difference with his wife,
had been told by her that one only
OF her three sons was true OH
spring, but which oil them was 50
she refused to discover. This gave
him much uneasiness; and, his
death soon afterward approaching,
he called his children together; and
declared, in the presence of witness
es, that he left a ring, which had
very singular properties, to him that
should be found to be his lawful
son, and that to him, too, should
belong his kingdom. On his death
dispute arose about tue ring be
tween the youths-and it was al
length agreed to refer its decision
to the King of Jerusalem. He im
mediaLely ordered that the dead
body OF his father should be taken
up and tied TO tree; that each oi
the sons should shoot an arrow al
it, and that he who penetrated the
deepest should have the ring. The
eldest shot first, and the arrow
went far into the body; the second
shot, also, and deeper than the 9th
er. The youngest son stood at a
distance and wept bitterly; but
the king said TO him: Young man,
take your arrow and shoot as your
brothers have DONE" He answer
ep: Far be it from me to commit
such a crime. l would not for the
whole world disfgure the body OF
my own father" The king said !;
without q doubt you are his son,
aud the others are changeliags; TO
you, therefore, adjudge the ring"

FIENDISH.
A ViragO's DeVilish Deed-She
ScaldS Her Husband with
Boiling Lye.

BELLAIRE, o., Jan. 13.-For sew
al week past Robert Mill and his
wife, of the Second ward, have not
been living peaceably together, so
rumor says, and the circumstance
which occurred yesterday morning
seems to bear this fact out. What
the cause of the trouble originally
was no one really seems TO know.
However, it is presumed that it was
jealousy. From that it has grown
worse and worse and more bitter by
recriminations and chickering's.
A few days ago Robert claims
that his wife endeavored to poison
him, as while he was eating a meal
mis- wife had prepared, he was taken
very sick and vomited violently.
Tuesday evening he turned ayoung
man out of the house that was
calling on his daughter, and this
action seems to have made his wife
perfectly furious. She SAID or
did nothing at the time, but nursed
her wrath until it assumed fiendish
proportions this morning, and she
gave it,vent in the. most hellish man
ner.
Her husband was lying on a
lounge reading a paper, when, with
out moments warning, she dashed
into his face a pan of boiling wa
ter and concentrated lye. His face
was horribly scalded, as were also
his mouth and tongue, giving him
untold agony. His cries and
means seemed to crack the parChed
skin every time. 1t is though his
eyesight is entirely gone. The
Poor Trustees have him in charge,
and his wife is to be arrested. The
family is one OF the lower classes, and
ls somewhat ignorant. 1t Is a
most shocking affair, and all are
indignant over it.

For a Balky Horse.

A Canadian proposes the follow

1t wonld suit a man of leisure:
1 would prepare myself with a
good strap-I want no whip; per-
haps he has got enough of that al
ready, and still he is master. But
some fine day, when l was at peace
with myself and all around, I would
hitch him to the buggy, turning his
head toward the village. He goes
half the way very we'll indeed; then
he begins to consider that he has
gone far enough in that direction,
and stops. step down; he expects
me to use the whip. He is mista
ken. As a criminal / treat him on

a little out of the way, show him
the strap, putting it up to his nose.
| 90 to the off side and buckle it to
his foreleg, close up to the breast,
throwing the other end over his
shoulder; I then raise his near fore
foot and fix it with the hoof nearly
touching the belly. This done, I
say to him, "Now, old chap, you
stand there" 1 don't smoke, so
take a paper from my pocket, and
finding a place where 1 can sit
down and he can see me, begin tc
read. This is something he did not
bargain for, and the novelty of
standing on three legs somewhat di-
verts his mind from the cause that
stopped him. 1 think this is the
chief point to be gained. and the
most humane. He now shows
signs Of a wish to go, but that does
not suit me at the time When the
strap is taken off, 1 show it to him

come a part of the harness for a
month or two, till at last the sight
of it will act like a talisman.

FATALITY OF NUMBERS.
A Series OF Curious Calculations.


The interesting book called "Cu
rious Myths OF the Middle Ages"
has chapter on the Fatality of
Numbers" in which the following
calculations are grouped:
The laws governing numbers,
says the writer, are SO perplexing
to the uncultivsted mind, and the
results arrived at by calculations
are 80 astonishing, that it can not
be matter OF surprise if supersti-
tion has not attached itself to num-
bers. But even to those who are
instructed in numeration, there is
much that is mysterious and unac-
countable, much that only an ad-
vsnced mathematician can explain
to his own satisfaction. The neo-
phyte sees the numbers obedient TO
certain laws; but Why they obey
these laws he cannot understand; !;
and the fact OF his not being able
so to do tends to give to numbers
an atmosphere OF mystery which
impresses him with awe.
THE NUMBER 9.
For instance, the property Of the
number 9. discovered, believe, by
w. Green, who died in 1894, is in
explicable to any one but a mathe-
matician. The property to which 1
allude is this, that when 8 is multi
piled by 2, by 8, by 4, by 5, by 6,
ETC., it will be found that the digits
composing the product. when add
ed together, give 9. Thus:

With the mark still set in the selt-same place

And a heavy tear fell down
As she turned away with ben ding head;
YET not for reprof or frown,
And not for the lesson to learn again,
Or the play-hour lost;
1t was something else that gave the pain.
She could not have put it in words.
But her teacher understood,
As God understands the chirp of the birds
In the depth of an autumn wood;
And a quiet touch on the reddening check
Was quite enough;
No need to question, no need to speak.
Then the gentle voice was heard,

And the lesson was mastered, every word,
Was it not worth the paint
Was it not kinder the task to turn

As we learn each line,
