Personal appearance of st. Paul.

The following fragment of early
Christian literature is unquestionably
of great antiquity, some of the fore
most writers on Christianity having
gone so far as to attribute it to st. Paul
himself. The copy from which it was
taken is in Greek and is now reposing
in the Bodleian Library. Oxford, En-
gland:
when Paul was going up to Icon
ium, as he fled from Antioch. he was
accompanied by Hermogenes and
Demas. men full of great hypocrisy.
But Paul, intent only on the goodness
of God, suspected no evil of them.
loving them exceedingly, making the
Gospel of Christ pleasant unto them
and discoursing to them of the knowl-
edge of Christ as it had been revealed
to him.
But certain man named Onesi-
phorous and his wife, Lectra, and their
children. Simmia and Zeno. hearing
that Paul was coming to Iconium,
went forth to meet him that they might
receive him into their house, for Titus
had informed them of the pers onal ap-
pearance of Paul. but as yet they had
not known him in the flesh. Walking,
therefore. in the Kings highway,
which leads towards Lystra, they
waited, expecting to receive him. Not
long after they saw Paul coming
towards them. He was small of
stature. bald. his legs distorted, his
eyebrows knit together, his nose aquil-
inc, but was in all man manifestly
full of the grace of God. his counten-
ance being sometimes like that of an
angel"

The Chimney Demons.

Out on the top of chimney tall
j saw parcel of demons crawl;
Some in gray and some in white,
And others in robes as black as night.
They danced together; they waltzed and
With streamers out on the air unfurled!
And the windy bugles began to blow
And sent them scurrying to and fro.
In gauzy garments they all were drest,
And one. with a lengthy plume on his crest,
was the leader of all without a doubt
And marshaled his forces round about.
With graceful gestures, like those at court,
They bowed and courtesied, and then they
fought
Fought like furies for none would yield,
And not remnant was left on the field.
The chimney demons their part performed
From morning till night, unless it stormed;
And loved to watch them and note the shape
That each one took as it made escape
Out of the shaft, and 10 see them rise
And melt away in the distant skies;
And when they were angry they rose the
higher.
For then they were fed with a fresher fire.
Comic or tragic they seemed to me,
In whatever the mood chanced to be;
And Fancy led me from day to day
To watch these giants and midgets play.
And even now that I'm older grown
j often sit by the window alone,
And amuSe myself as the demons crawl
Out of the top of the chimneys tall.

one of her receptions, while she sat
gayly talking with the crowd about
her sofa, distinguished South Caro-

heard-and said, MADAM, there is
woe pronounced against you in the
Bible. Every voice was hushed, and
scared look came over the faces of the

and while her black eyes flashed. she
said with bright smile, What have

Barreled Up His Son.

An eccentric man named George
Bump. living in North Lyme, Conn.

head in a cider barrel. but could not
make the head stay while he tightened

the barrel was headed up. Bump
went to work in the field and forgot
his son, until his wife asked him where
the boy was. Bump ran to the barrel,
knocked out the head, and found the
boy breathing through the bunghole,
but so frightened that he went into
spasms. Bump was arrested, but was
afterward released. He has always
been noted for his absent-mindedness.
