The Test of Little Things.

In things small lie the crucibles and
the touchstones. Any hypocrite will
come to the Sabbath worship, but it is
not every hypocrite that will attend
prayer meetings, or read the Bible in
secret, or speak privately of the things
of God to the saints. You find the
same true in other things A man who
is no Christian very likely will not
tell you a downright lie by saying
white is black, but he will not
hesitate to declare that whitey-brown
is white-he will go that length. Now,
the Christian will not go half way to .
falsehood, but will boldly shun it alto
gether. With him the moral baseness
of such a measure as trifiing with the
sacred duty of truth-speaking Is suf-
ficient barrier to the committaL Re

sized tree to the falling point and re.
treated TO what seemed a perfectly safe
distance. Instead of falling straight
from the stump it split up a distance
of several feet and then the butt shot
back like an arrow in the direction oi
the unfortunate victim, who, it seems
saw his danger and had turned to
run, but was hiudered by q small
clump of bushes, when the tree struck
him between the shoulders, crushing
him TO the ground and killing him in

following mention:
"By the request of large number
of tax payers, we publish, this week,
an article in regard to the petition
against the county buying the toll
bridge across the Allegheny River,
at TIonesta. Several remonsirances
were sent here for the people to sign,
representing the bridge as old and
almost worn out. 1t was afterwards
learned that some of the very men
who got out the petition against it.,
were viewers on the bridge and pro-
nOunced it a good one and cheap at
the price asked for it. IL was believed
by many that the bridge was a wooden
structure, aud it was afterwards they
learned that it WAS an iron bridge and
not as much worn as represented by
the paper to which they attached their
signatures. Some of the leading men
of this place have Withdrawn their
