aries of life. We fnd condensed in
the few short years Of childhood
some of the beautiful and instructive
truths Of Christianity. Faith and a
blind confidence in all regarding
spiritual matters in the justice, mer-
cy and goodness of God, may be
likened unto the implicit confidence
and faith of little children in tie
teachings Of their elders. Credulity
is one of, the cllarms Of childhood
and is perpetual rehuke to man for
his vain longings after the unattain.
able and for the doubts that beset
his mind regarding those things
which we have been told simply to
believe. Again a child is typical of
innocence. Art and deceit find no
resting place in the bosom of a guile
less child. CanIor sits enttironed
upon its clear, open brow, and truth
dwells in the depths Of its question
ing eye and falls from the rosy lips
that knog not moi can lisp the name
of falsehood.
Virtue and purity may be called
the synonyms of childhood; while
wickedness is the synonymous term
for manhood. The virtues Of the
latter are deserving of more praise
than those Of the former, for the one
ka0aos of the existence Of sin and
avoids tiff there be virtue in him..
while the other is yirLuous because

the negative, is worthy of emulation
Jesus placed little child in the
midst OF his disciples and said:-
"Verily l say unto you, except ye he
converted aud become as little chill
dren, ye shall not enter the kingdom
of heaven" What other teachings
need we to become one Of the elect?
The flowers, the trees, the grass
in short, all nature is replete with
instruction for man, and from her
Christ drew many Of those beautiful
illustrations for the guidance of men
with which the New Testament
abounds. But none were so replete
with instruction or so illustrative Of

Christ's Sentence Of Death.

The following is copy Of the most memo
rable judicial sentence which has been pro-
nounced in the annals OF the world, namely,
that of death against the Saviour, with the re
marks which the Journal LIE Dr05t has collect
ed, and the knowledge Of which must be in
teresting in the highest degree to every Chris
tan. 1t is word for word as follows
Sentence pronounced by Pontious plate,
Intendant of the Lower Province of Galilee,
that Jesus of Nazareth shall suffer death by
the cross.
In the seventeenth year of the reign of the
Emperor Tiberius, and Cd the twenty -fourth
day of the month OF March, in the most holy
city of Jerusalem, during the Pontifcate OF
Annas and Caiaphas
Pontius plate, Intendant of the Province of
Lower Galilee, sitting to judgment in the
presidential seat of the Prsetors, sentences Je-
sus of Nazareth to death on q cross betw
two robbers. as the numerous and notorious
testimonials of the people prove.
1. Jesus is misleader.
2. He has excited the people to sedition.
3. He is an enemy to the law.
f. He calls himself the Son of God
5. He calls himself, falsely, the King of Is
rael
6. He went into the temple followed by a
multitude carrying palms IN their hands
Orders from the first centurian Quirrlus
Conelius to bring him to the place OF execu-
ton, forbids all persons, rich or poor, to pre-
vent the execution of Jesus.
The witnesses who have signed the execu-
ton of Jesus are:
l. Daniel Robani, Pharisee.
2. John Zorababel.
3. Raphael Robani.
4. Capet
Jesus to be taken out of Jerusalem through
the GATES of 1OurneS
This sentence is engraved on plate of brass
in the Hebrew language, and on its sides are
the following "A similar plate has been sent
to each tribe" 1t was discovered in the year
1880, in the city of Aquilia in the kingdom Of
Naples, by a search made for Roman antqui-
ties and remained there until it was found by
the commission of arts in the French army in
Italy. Up to the time of the campaign in
Southern tally it was preservedin the sacristy
of the Carthusians, near Naples, where it was
kept in box of ebony. Since then the relic
has been kept in the chapel Of Casert The
Carthusians obtained, by their petitions, that
the plate might be kept by them, which was
an acknowledgment of the sacrifices which
they made for the French army. The French
translation was made literally by members OF
the commission of arts Demon had fac
saa,asto of the plate engraved, which was bought
by Lord Howard on the sale of his cabinet for
1880 francs. There seems to be no historical
doubt as to the authenticity Of this. The rea-
sons OF the sentence correspond exactly with
with those of the gospel

The picnic of the society Of the "Daugh-
tiers Of Eve" held at Pine Grove Park, Ala
media, Cal, on Sunday, was enlivened by sew
eral incidents that would have astonshed the
maternal ancestor of the association if she
took any interest in it. One of the sports in
dulged in was bottle smashing. A flask which
had once contained a pint of elixir was sus-
pended from the limb of tree, and the par
Elephants in the game being blindfolded, tried
one after another to smash the bottle with
stick A substantial prize awaited the lucky
person who could shatter the flask Everything
went we'll until 49er with nose like torch
light procession, took the stick and shivered
the bottle at the first attempt. Another flask
was put up, but the managers of the game hay
ing neglected the precauton OF deodorizing
the glass with a little fresh water the '49er
TOOK one sniff, and making a bee line to the
bottle demolshedit. On the third attempt q
soda bottle was substituted after the 49er had
been blindfoded and, in ignorance of the fact,
the accomplished bottle smasher followed his
nose, and brought his stick in collision with a
prominent citizen of Alameda who had just
stepped ZIP from the bar 10 watch the sport.
| In the row which followed the 49er escaped

terested spectators We're treated TO the luxury
of numerous kicks and cuffs, 1t was some

would occur to give them a rest
