A Modern Niraelc.-some one

4 Modern Miraclc.-Some one has said: There is nothing that exists in the universe but what can be used in some way for the benefit of man and the advancement of civilization. 4 prominent citizen of this place entered the Coop. store on Monday last, and after testing some half dozen rolls of butter signiied his willingness to take one particularly choice roll. The ac- commodating clerk having no wrapping paper at hand utilized newspaper ly- ing close by, and after carefully rolling it up he handed it to the citizen who lit out for home with slightly accelerated speed as visions of hot rolls and fresh creamery butter foated temptingly be- fore his eyes. Upon reaching home and after calling his wife's attention to the superior article of butter purchased, he unwrapped the package and there rolled out before their astonished gaze three pound bar of mottled soap. Not believing in the evidence of their own eyesight they immediately called in several of their neighbors who con- firmed their correctness of vision. After carefully discussing the phenomenon and finding no cause for this modern miracle they were about to disperse when one of their number casually glanced at the heading of the paper in which the butter came, and solved the problem to the satisfaction of all. The paper was copy of the Orion Era, and the action of the large amount of con- centrated lie, used in the publication of that paper, upon the three pounds of fatty substance had converted the but ter into superior article of soap.

 EDITOR HERALD:-At this age of pcumenical, when procrastination is lost in oblivion, and the finite know ledge of man is trying to raise to that of infinite, that he may know more of the metaphysical science and value the mysteries of infinite space, we are lead to say and believe that man is yet in his infancy in metaphysical science. But science is something that few know anything about, or even un- derstand the nature of it. Hence, when We hear of anyone speaking in favor of it, We are apt to say that it is all bosh. But if we could comprehend the nature of It, and see the benefit that is to be derived from the study of metyphysi- cal science, We would not be so ready to condemn that which has done more tor this country than all other religion. However, as I am nothing of a scien- tist I will not say anything about it and bore the reader with something that I know nothing about; however, I can say this much, that my opinion coin cides with that of Herbert Spencer, he says: "But, amid the mysteries which becomes the more mysterious the more they are thought about there will re- ma an absolute certainty that he is in the presence of an infinite and eter- nal energy, from which all things pro- ceed." But Herbert Spencer is an Ag- nostic and but few care to read his writings, yet they must acknowle 'ge that he is a good writer and great thinker. Ingersol says that God must be an infinite being, therefore, eternal. But if he is finite in one thing he must be finite in all things; therefore he is not eternal. Now if we are 10 judge from those two illustrious bodies. we must take it for granted that religion is
