A DOG WHICH CAUGHT ON.-"Yes, that
'ere dog belongs to me, l s'pose," replied a
farmer at the market yesterday, when raj
lied in regard to an ungainly cur which was
lying under his wagon.
"Is he any good %
"Not the least bit. I've tried to give him
away, and I've tried to drive him off, but
it's no CO."
"Why don't you lose him here in town ?''
"I've tried it in vain. Lemme tell We
what did in September. I brought that
cur here with me, and I got on the street
cars and rode around for half day. Away
up Jefferson avenue he got into row with
some other dogs and lost the car, and went
home feeling that he was done for. Next
morning l went at it with my boys and
painted the front fence and the house so he
wouldn't know the place if he came along.

all the weeds and so changed the general
looks of things that my neighbors didn't
hardly dare come in. On the third day we
saw the cur coming down the road from
town and everybody got inside. He came
up, looked around in great astonishment,
and his tail dropped as if somebody had
tied brick to it. In his bones he felt that
it was the old place, but the painting up
sorter paralyzed him. He sat down to think
it over, and all at once he came over the
fence and began to gambol around as if tick.

THE LESSER OF Two EvILs.-The mu.
nicipal census taker was around taking
names and pulled the bell at Blifstick's s,
and Bliff came to the door. He was put
through the usual formula, and finally the
censuser asked the age of his wife.
"Can't tell," responded the husband.
Cant tell?" echoed the questioner.
"Why? Don't you knoW?"
'Of course do"
"Then you must tell me. The law says
you must"
''The law! What law?"
'sThe law of the State"
"What will they do with me if 1 don't
tell?"
"Put you in jail"
Gall right; put me in jail"
"Why, man." exclaimed the astonished
official, ''you won't 60 to Jail and suffer
rather than tell your wife's age, will

is removed. This done, the way is open for
the acceptance of the sinner. The pardon
of sin does no more than take away the
guilt of sin. 1t does not remove the incli-
nation to sin, neither does it change the ma
ture of sin so as to take away its offensive
ness in the sight of God. Pardon, together
with acceptance with which it is always
conjoined, changes the sinners relation with
regard to the law. The pardoned sinner is
no longer under the law as a covenant of
works, and, consequently he is delivered,
forever, from its penalties. This must not
be interpreted to mean that the pardoned
sinner never violates Gods law, or if he
does violate the law of God he does not
thereby incur Gods displeasure. God hates
sin, no matter by whom committed. He
chastises his people, that is those whose
sins are pardoned, for their sins; but he
Furnishes those whose sins are not pardOned
for their transgressions. With the pardon
ed he deals as father whose authority has
been disregarded by child, but with the
unpardoned he deals as an angry judge.

but yesterday that he had died for them.
When all other names carved on the worlds
records have become unreadable, like for
gotten inscriptions on decaying gravestones,
His shall endure forever, deeply craven on
heshy tables of heart. His revelation of
God is the highest truth. Till the end of
time men will turn to His life for the clear
est knowledge and happest certainty of
their Father in Heaven. There is nothing
limited or local in His character of works.
In his meek beauty and gentle perfectness
He stands so high above us all, that to-day
the inspiration of His example and the les
sons of his conduct touch us as much as if
he had lived in this generation, and will al
ways shine before men as their best and
most blessed law of conduct Christ will
not be antiquated till He is outgrown, and
it will be some time before that happens.

construction. 1t is broadside ship with
