He LICKED IT.--Sam V. Harris lives in
Fort Worth Neither he nor his wife is
very smart, as will be seen by the following
incident: Last night Sam heard a noise
under the bed. ''There is somebody un-
der the bed," said Sam to his wife. "It's
Fido, I guess" "No, think it's burg
lar" replied Sam. "Just reach your hand
down, and if it is Fido he will lick it."
The burglar, for it was one after all, over
heard the conversation, and when Sam
reached his hand down the burglar licked
it all over very affectionately. Thiswas en-
tirely satisfactory, and they both went to
sleep, but when they woke up next morning
there was not much left in the house that
was worth carving otf.-Isras SJtings.

THE PRICELEsSNEss OF MAN.-Let men
speculate as they will on mans origin and
place, let them eXpound the stages of devel-
opment by which he has attained his pres
ent structure and power; this much, at least,
is clear about him-cear on the face of Gods
word that he is being whose rescue from
moral evil is held on high to be worth the
agony and the bloody sweat, the cross and
passion, the precious death and burial, the
glorious resurrection ofthe Son of God. His
sacrifice is the eternal witness to the truth
that man at his very worst is worthy Of be-
ing ministered to from heaven, and at a cost
which defies expression in terms of our
earthly sacrifices.
If you are tempted to think meanly of
man; if, face to face with the dark facts Of
his vice and fraity, all the fine things that
poets have sung Of him and prophets have
forecast, seem to you to be hollow mock
cry, then remember that there is a judg-
ment above yours; remember that, howev-
er little you can see to honor or admire,
there must be in each one something of in
finite value, since God would tain redeem
each for himself by an infinite sacrifice.
The humblest personality is gloritied by
this thought of redemption, and you cannot
stand before Il human being, nc matter what
his race, his creed or his character, without
being in the presence of one whom God
loves and for whom Christ has died.

Sin is we'll defined when it is said to be
any want of conformity with the law Of
God, or any transgressiDn of the law of God.
About sin there are some things which are
marvellous. Itrequires the smallest possible
amount of intellect to fit an individual for
violating Gods law. In order to succeed
we'll in nearly every vocation in life requir-
es good natural endoWments and consider
able training, but a brainless fool, without
any education of any kind, whatever, is
often at the very beginning Of his career
aarmingly successful in trampling Gods
law under his feet. The stupid Ounce who
cannot learn to read his own vernacular
language without stammering, learns easily
and rapidly to utter foul oaths.
There is another thing marvelously strange
about sin. Men never get too old to learn
how to sin. Men get too old to learn how
to plow, or chop, or to do any sort of work
but they never, unless restrained by Gods
grace, get too old to sin in some form or
other.
Another thing that is strange about sin is
that it isalways accompanied with suffering.
Misery follows sin as the shadow follows the
substance. Sin leads to misery. All its
tendencies are to misery, both of body and
soul.
These facts being all we'll known, the
unregenerated state, love to sin. We do
not, it is true, love the consequences of sin,
but we love to violate Gods law. We love
it dearly. We are passionately fond of sim
ming. Nothing but Gods preventing grace,
or his converting grace, can stop us from
SHINING. There is a power in sin which
nothing but Almighty God can restrain.
No human agency can check it, much less
put a stop to it's progress. Unrestrained by
Gods grace, no one knows what he will be-
come, or what he will do. The only reason
that all men have not become what some
men are, is that they have been kept by
God.

THEY WAITED. Gail women are alike
in their fear of cars" said an Illinois Cen
trail conductor. 'They carry their caution
to absurd extremes. That reminds me Of a
little story. Down in the Southern part OF
the State we have up at road crossings some
of the old fashioned signs, Look out for the
cars when you hear the bell ring At one
of the crossings the other day two women
came up, driving an old horse hitched to
a buggy. They looked all around and
couldn't see any cars, but happened to read
the sign. Stop said one, L hear bell
They both listened, and sure enough they
heard bell tinkling. One of the women
got out, and amid considerable excitement
took hold Of the horses bridle. The other
one lighted her grip on the lines and set her
jaws, and prepared for the worst. They
looked anxiously up the track for the train,
but couldn't see it, though they could hear
the bell a little palmer than before. They
waited and waited and five minutes passed,
and ten minutes passed, and still no train.
The old horse went to sleep while the Wo-
mems nerves from long straining threatened
to throw them into Mysteries. Nearer and
nearer came the bell against which the sign
warned them, and they stood still. lnabout
a quarter of an hour brindle COW came
walking down the pasture by the side OF the
track, chewing her cud and monotonously
iingling her bell. One of the women cried
from nervousness and the other one got mad
at the railrord company, and said they were
nothing but mean old monopolies, any
way"

THE OLD LIBERTY BELL.-The trip OF
this venerable piece of metal to the New Or
leans Exposition will be the second one it
has ever made since it's reception in Phila-
deIphia. In 1751 the Pennsylvania Assem-
bly authorized Isaac Norris, Thomas Leech,
and Edward Warner to procure bell for
the State House. Accordingly, under date
November 1st, of that year, these gentle
men wrote to Robert Charles, of London,
stating their order and authority, and ap-
plying to him to get them "a good bell of
about 1000 pounds weight" wnich itt1 tney
fancied might cost e200 or more, including
charges. In the letter is inserted: Let the
bell be cast by the best workmen and exam
ined carefully before it is shipped, with the
following words we'll shaped in large letters
about it, viz: "By order of the Assembly of
the Province of Pennsylvania for the State
House, in the city of Philadelphia, 1852"
And underneath "Proclaim Liberty
through all the land unto all the Inhabitants
hereof."-Leviticus XIV: 10.
In due course of time the bell reached
Philadelphia, and under date of March l0,
1853, Mr.. Norris again writes: "1n that let
ter gave information that our bell was gen
orally liked and approved of, but in few
days after my writing had the mortifica-
ton to hear that it was cracked bya stroke
of the clapper, without any other violence,
as it was hung up to try the sound; though
this was not very agreeable to us, we con-
cluded to send it back by Captain Budden,
but he could not take it on board, upon
which two ingenious workmen undertook
to cast it here When we broke up the old
metal our judges here generally agreed it
was too high and brittle, and cast several
little bells to try the sound and strength,
and fixed upon an ounce and a half OF cop
per to one pound of the old bell, and in this
proportion we now have it,"
The casting was done bya native of the
Isle of Malta named Pass, and son of
Charles Stow. 1t was discovered that too
much copper had been used, and second
casting was found to be necessary, and in
the first week of June, 1853, it was rehung
in the belfry, its weight being 1850 pounds.
In l774, the base of the wood work Of the
steeple was 50 decayed that it was taken
down, and small belfry alone covered the
bell. Since then, however, the steeple has
been reconstructed as it originally stood.
In TIT, at the time the British were eX-
pected to occupy the city, the bell was
removed to Bethlehem. 1t occupied one of
the wagons of q train Of 700 all under
charge of Col. Polk and detachments of
North Carolina and Virginia troops. At
Bethlehem, September ODD, lit, the old
bell met with its first accident, the wagon
which carried it breaking down, but fortu-
nately it sustained no injury. After the
evacuation it was returned to the State
House steeple, and some years afterwards
was cracked, this ending its career of use
fulness.
