Omnipoteut DeulpturlnS, but no vitality
A body without a soul
Then the source of all life stopped to tho
inanimate nostril and lip, and rs many a
skillful and earnest physician has put
his lips to a patient in comatose state
and breathed into his mouth and nostril,
and at the same time compressed the
lungs, until that which was artificial res
piration became natural respiration, so
methinks God breathed into this cold
sculpture of Il man the breath of life, and
the heart begins to tramp, and the lungs to
inhale, and the eyes to open, and the en-
tire form to thrill, and with Che rapture of
life Just come the PROSTATE being leaps
to his feet-a mani
But tue scene of this Saturday is not yet
done, and in the atmosphere, drowsy with
the breath of flowers and the song of bobo-
links and robin redbreasts, the man slum-
bcrs, and by anpsthetics, divinely admin
istered, the slumber dcepens until without
the ooAing of one drop of blood at the time

is removed from his side which is to be
built up the Queen of Paradise, the daugh-
ter of the great God, the mother of the
human race, the beucdiction of all ages,
woman the wife, aftcrward woman the
mother. And as the two join hands and
stroll down along the banks of the Eu-
pirates toward "A bower Of miSnonette and
wild rose and honeysuclIlc, and are listen
ing to the call of the whip-poor-will from
the aromatic thickets, the sun links be-
meath the horizon. "And the evening and
the morning were the sixth day"

y learned man once asked an oh Chris
tiau mau who had no advantages Of scLool.
INK, why hr believed there was God, and
the gooj old man, who probably had never
heard all argument on the subject in ali

been here going hard upon fifty yecrs.
Every day since have been in this world
see the sun rise in the east and set ia the
west. The north star stand, where it did
the first tiMc | saw it, the seven stars and
