-"I have been used" said the great
DR.. Thomas Arnold. "for many years
to study the history of other times and
weigh the evidence of those who have
written about them, and know of no
one fact in the history of mankind
which is proved by better and fuller
evidence of every sort to the under
standing of fair inquirer, than the
great sign which God has given us that
Christ died and rose again from the
dead. IN Y Herald.

Real Bravery.

| have among my acquaintance some
very fierce young men. They have the
soul of a desperate, though forced TO
toll at the ledger or the newspaper desk
for the vulgar and prosaic necessities of
existence. While not doubling their
courage am often skeptical about their
thirst for danger. One of them, COM
mercial traveller, was at last gratihed
with an adventure. He was riding on
the top of an Oregon stage. This is the
story:
"Well, sir, when we came to the top
of the hill we saw two highwaymen 90
ing through the pockets of some poor
devil they had captured on the road. "
GLOW many of you were there?n
"SiX outside and four inside, and all
armed to the teeth. Now for it, boys
said the stage-driver, whipping up his
horses, and | tell you we dashed down
on that gang in fine style, every man
keeping his hand on his pistol."
And of course you captured the
highwaymen"
"No, stree! we drove by them like q
flash. Why, man, we were down to
and by them before they knew what was
coming. Now, that is what call real
presence of mind"
"HowP In rescuing the man from
the robbers?"
Rescue be hanged; that was none
of our business. No, stree; in saving
the stage. San Francisco Post

bowed to the old hero, who acknowledged the
compliment by giving Jhem a pleasant
smile and a military salute. The generals
face looked very thin. Harrison raised the

general was feeling very we'll He held up
