Bishop, woman's beauty does not

pious flowing of life's stream. Do not
try to teach men that beauty leads to
sin. A French woman once, when
told that something she wanted to do
was naughty, replied, Eyes, but it is
so nice to be naughty" If you teach
men that it is doubtful whether it is

you will have empty benches to preach

hand, cropping, like D~iogenes, after
beautiful sin. No, no! Grecian genius
waved q magic wand and the Apollo
sprang from cold marble. Greek gen.
ius looked upon a human model and
the chisel turned hard stone into un-
dulating Venus. Raphael dipped his
pencil into tints stolen from the rain
bow, attuned his heart to n song
chanted by angels, and the Madonna
della Segiola exercises sin from the be-
holder. Murillo caught a flame from
genius, and his ascending Mary con.

one Man Got the Report.

Five reporters Of newspapers having
been instructed to take verbatim re-
ports of a speech by a celebrated
member of Parliament, to he made in
. neighboring town, left by q morning
train for q junction station, where
they hoped to catch another train
bound for the scene OF action. As
they travelled along they entered in
to an agreement not to take any -un-
fair advantage OF one another, no
matter what opportunity for doing
30 might present itself. They arrived
ct the junction too late for the con-
Meeting train, and were in a difficulty
as to getting over the intervening
dozen miles OF country. They went
prospecting-four thin scribes hurry
ing in advance of veritable Falstaff.
AT last they espied al old fashioned
wagon, drawn by a lean horse, and IN
. very few minutes the treacherous
four were ensconced in the vehicle, fill
ing it completely. In. vain did the
man of fat remind them OF the agree-
ment. His approximations were re.
ceiyed with .derision, and the driver
was ordered to start. The cheated
reporter appealed to the countryman,
Offering to give two pounds for q seat
on the dashboard. The offer was &C
copied, and the man slipped down to
help him up.
"St6p! whispered the reporter,
I'll buy your horse for ten pounds,
cash down.
aDonel', said the driver, and the
gold vas handed over.
Now" said the owner OF the horse,
take him out OF the traces and help
me On his back"
It was done, and the horse and rider
were soon lost to view. Next day only
one newspaper could give a full report
