was taken 10 dav in the coupon cases at the
special term of the Circuit Court for the city.
The whole matter was continued until Mon
dsv next in order TO divide the somewhat
confused batch OF cases into orderly classes.
Il is understood that there will be three such
classes: First, cases where coupons have
been rendered in payment of taxes accruing
prior to 1887, aud none other. Second,
cases where coupons have been rendered IN
paynent of 1887 taxes and none other, and
third, cases where coupons have been ten
dered both for the taxes of 1886 and of 1887.
Que case will be taken from each class to be
made n test case for that particular class,
and the proceedings in the remaining cases
are toawaittbe tiua determir alton ofthe test
cases in the court of last resort. The i'm

Court. for both the county and city for 1887
taxes there will be stay of execution until

The Christian Path.

The path by which Col leads his children
Is not always straight. The way is like the
course of SOM stream, starting from inland
mountains and leading to tho oceun. For
awhile 1t goes right on. without INTERRUPT
tion; md then, as if it had lost its se. it
turns back upon itself, winds about
mountain range, traverses many wasted
miles of distance, gives up its direction at
every impeachment and seems to forget
whittier it S going. But at last it is led out
into broad pI:In and to smoother chan
mel, to pursue its unobstru"ted jour
ney. Yet all the while it
was on its way to the ocean. There
was no pro- ability that its destiny
would be denied it. Gnd knew the best way.
He watered many valley by its wander
ings. Such is the CHRISTIANS path. 1t ad-
vances by turns ard struggles Mountain
ranges of difficulties are to be colnpassed;
other lives must be visited and blessed. BY
and by the way will grow smoother and
straighter to the tired feet and the sweet end
will come, like tine smooth gliding Of a.great
river into greater sen. God sees tho end
from the far.off beginning and He never
loses sight OF it on the way.-[Selected

The Word of God.

In proportion aS we fail to accept the
Book-the whole Book as the Word of God.
in that drgree it loSes its power over us. and
we fail to appreciate its glories To feel that
I am reading words which come from the
lips IF God, and not human product n, is
to be aweti into reverence before thu sacred
page. Tho Greek Fathers. especially, re-
garded the Scriptures as the Spirits wonder
full work. "The sacred books" says Origon,
'are porvaded by the fullness Of the Spirit.
There is nothing either in the prophets, or in
the law, or in the Gospels, or in the Epis-
ties, which does not spring from the fullness
of the divine majesty" When the F theirs
introduced a quotation from the Scriptures,
they were accustomed to omit the human
writer, and substitute the Holy Spirit as the
real author, thus: ''As tho Holy
Ghost smith" They say, 1--WE can
by no means say of the writings Of
the Holy Ghost that there is anything super
huous or idle in them, although many
thing m y appear dark to many" If we all
accepted the Scriptures thus they would be
to us spirit and life. Justin Martyr repre-
sents the sacred writer's as stringed instru-
ment Their, talk" he says, twas but to
surrender themselves wholly to the working
Of the Spirit Of God. that the divine plec-
trum descending from heaven might make
use Of holy men as of harp or Tyre, in Or
der to reveal to us the knowledge Of divine
and heavenly things" In this way we have
the music of heaven without the discords
which come of human inflrmities. The
Bible is no human production. but a letter,
dictated by the Holy Spirit, and revealing
the will OF our F4ther in heaven. How
blessed the thought.-[Chris. Witness

Norwegian Fences.

Even so commonplace a thing as a
fence gives character to the landscape.
This is matter OF importance to all who
are interested in making country places
and country life US attractive as possible.
The fences of Norway, as described,
must be an ugly blemish upon the face
of the country:
Two thick stakes of pine. from seven
to eight feet long, are driven firmly into
the ground within an inch of each
other, and repeated at intervals OF fou
feet. Smaller sticks are then placed in S
slanting position between the uprights,
which serve as grooves to keep them II
their place, and they are still further Sc
cured by their being bound together
with twigs of osier. When completed,
it makes so compact fence that wease
could scarcely put his nose through.
They cannot, however, boast of com
bining the ornamental with the useful,
having a gauut, monotonous look, which
made us long to see them replaced by
the pretty hedgcrows of England.
