The Rich Mans Coachmau.

A rich man who beats his dog is no
more important in Mr.. Bergh's eyes than
the poor man who torments his neighbor's
pet. The coachman of a millionaire is
the prisoner. His employer has become
bondsman for him, and his attorney is
present to see that justice is dealt out to
him. And that is just what is done
just that and nothing more or less. He
was arrested for using an infamous hit,
tn" sides of which contained sharp tacks
which pressed cruelty into the sides of
the horses face, intlicting such pain that
he reared and danced. This gave him
the appearance of great spirit. Mr..
Dergh briefly states the case TO the court.
The bit is produced. Half an hour of
argument is heard and the prisoner, in
spite of his masters wealth and social
position, is fined $25.-Benjamin Nor

The North American Review prints a
series of the autographs of Napoleon,
written at various epochs in his eventful
life. Starting in his early years with a
bold and clear signature, it retains most
OF these characteristics in the days of his
greatest successes; but parallel with the
declining fortunes Of the great man is a
degeneration of his autograph, until at
the end we have nothing more than the
rudest, characterless scrawl. The auto
graphs cannot but suggest the ravaging

the physiological concomitant of the tur-

When two people are introduced in
Mexico, if both are women, they ex-
change a light embrace and palmadita or
little pat on the back; where one or both
are men, q hand shake is in order. And
beside the formula, 'Let me present"
ETC., of the officiating party, each of
those introduced gives his name and his

such stereotyped phrase. By those who

Their Work Was Worth Something.

The cows of a Georgia farmer got into
the pea field of his neighbor and de-
stroyed about ten bushels of peas. There
upon the latter farmer presented an ac-
count claiming So for ten bushels of peas
at sixty cents per bushel. The owner of
the cows examined the account and then
said; Look here, my cows ate up ten
bushels of your peas, but you know the
rules in gathering peas is to give one
half for the gathering. So you see my
cows were entitled to five bushels of
those peas for picking them. Therefore
l only owe you for five bushels at sixty
cents, and that makes So. Here's your
money" And at SO they settled. Chi.

A tattered bundle of rags and stains,

A freezing bundle OF aches and pains,
A starving child of the pooriI
Two pleading, fearful eyes
That none will ever miss;
Two little sunken cheeks

A tattered bundle of rags and stains,
Who whines for q crust 90 eat;
A freezing bundle of aches and pains,

Whose strife is forever Ger;

LAW AND GRACE.

The difference between the Old and
New Covenants is manifest in the ex-
preston, ''Law and Grace" Moses
came down from Mount Sinai bringing
the Law. It laid down rules by which
the Israelites were to be governed.
Aud to these they pledged their loyalty
saying, "All that the Lord hath spoken
will we do, and be obedient."
Jehovah was a law giver. They con-
ceived of him only in that manner. In
him was justice, and every violator of
the divine law would receive the pen
atty attached thereto. 1t was not so
much jnstice as vengeance. jehovah
would become angry if his commands
were disobeyed, and he would pour out
his hatred upon the individual who
walked contrary to law. This was the
highest conception of the divine gov
eminent. Men were in the hands of
an Almighty Judge, who would deal
with them in strict accord with we'll
defined statutes.
Jesus came with larger revelation
of God. He came, "Not to destroy the
law but to fulfil it." He came declar-
ing, not petty rules of conduct, but
great principles of living. He put into
the law what it needed to make it
effective, yet what it did not have. He
touched the soul and aroused new
motive to all actions. He said, God
is love, and he wants you to be obedi-
emit to his commands because he loves
you. He did not take away the idea
of penalty for transgression of Gods
law. But he put into it what man had
not known before. He taught that
God is our Father, and that when we
disobey him he will punish US, never
in anger, but for our highest good.
Through Christ we learn that the
Father would educate US by punish
ment for our sins. Everything he
brings us to suffer is because he would
make us purer and more like himself.
The Christian conception of the
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1888-09-01

divine government is the grandest pos
sible. 1t is that Of family. We are
all by nature children of God.
We are in the hands of an infinite
Father. The government of this
Father is to make US willingly, lovingly
obedient children. Christ puts every
thing On the basis of love. This ele-
ment the law of Moses did not have.
And Christianity fulfills the Old Cove
nant in placing love at the centre of all
activity. All the relations of man to
God are of love. All the relations of
man to man are of love. Mans life
and destiny are the outcome of love.
The New Covenant is superior to the
Old by as much as grace or love is su-
perior to law. The interpretations of
the Universalist church are superior to
the Others because it has always in
sisted upon this spirit of love or grace
as the controlling force. ALI Christians
are, year by year, forsaking the Old
Covenant and gladly seizing the New,
knowing that greater power lies in the
Christian than in the Mosaic spirit.
That the good work may go rapidly for
ward, let us hope and pray. In Gods
own time, under the banner of love,
Christ shall win all souls. G. S. N.

gave five sermons for the day, but the

FEAR is actually detrimental to man
kind in that it seems to conquer all
power of resistance. There is no feel
ing the human soul is capable of, so
prostrating as fear. If it comes upon
one suddenly it paralyzes effort instant
ly; if il creep on one stealthiIy, it
undermines courage, and leaves one a
prey to the worst of consequences. The
people of the South, are prob ably suf-
fering five-fold from the ravages Of
yellow fever, because the hearty fear
they have of it intensifies its effects
AMI makes them more liable to Its at
tacks. There is promise to those
who put their trust in God, that they
shall not be afraid Of the arrow that
flieth by night, nor the pestilence that
walketh at MONDAY.
