IN lie where once In the spring lime all was an

Do you know Tie reason for this change? Ii
IS because you are not wei, because your vital
lily is not so great as when In your teens. Do
you know what you need? Something TO help
YOU: something which will prove "a friend in

The Lesson of Mrs. Cooper to Her BibIe-
Glass Appropriate 20 the Dav.
The lesson of Mrs. Cooper's Bible-class
yesterday was full of the Easter Joy. 1t
was based upon the second Psalm: 1.-The
heavens declare the glory of God and the
armament showeth his handiwork."
This Psalm, said the teacher. has two dis
tinct parts. One is devoted TO God in
Nature; the other to God in Revelation.
1t deals with the world of nature and the
world of spirit. The devout soul always
sees that the principles Of nature and its
laws are the types and shadows of the H.
visible. The worlds, visible and invisible,
are two books from the same author. Let
any one devoutiy study nature in the earth
and sky and he must be impressed with the
glory of God. AS the poet wisely says.
'An undevOut astronomer is mad" And
modern astronomy only increases our won
der. The humblest observer may read this
book of God in the heavens. This Is vol
ume that God has published for the whole
race--it is a universal revelation. No one
has to 60 to a bookstore to purchase
the latest revised edition of this
book of God. I'm them hath he
set tabernacle for the SUM-" This univer-
sal, neyer-exhausted fountain Of blessing

Mrs. Cooper went on 10 show how the sun
shone alike on the fluwer-decked pasture
and the desert plain. Is Is the same sun
that shining on rich loan beckons forth
every latent germ; but shining on land it
leaves only land still shining on that which
Is dead it only hastens dissolution; shining
on that which is full of life it hastens
growt tn and fruitage.

the sun shining on the marsh and miasma
can lift up the fOuness ana clarity it and

sinful heart and cause it to blossom into

He May Yet Escape Punishment Through

Amy. the New Hampshire murderer,
whose brutal crime and exciting capture
made one of the most sensational cases
discussed in the newspapers last year, is
still in jail under sentence of death, which
Is admitted TO be Illegal and which may lead
to his freedom. Almy was not tried by
jury. He pleaded guilty to an indictment
charging him with murder. The laws OF
the State declare that IF any person shall
plead guilty 10 an indictmens for murder,
the court having cognizanee OF the offense
shall determine the degree" The court adj
judged Amy guilty in the first degree, but
sentenced him to be hanged without having
the prisoner present when the degree of his
guilt was fixed. The sentence Is therefore
admitted TO be illegal and the more serious
question Is whether he can be resentenced.
III he is not resentenced he Is entitled to 60

taken into court of once and again SEN
fenced to be hanged. He predicts that If
this is not speedily done the Supreme Court
Of the United States will set Almy tree.
