"Just turn mp that street sir, and 90
Till you come TO another upon your right
Then turn into that and Keep on
Till you come TO another turn right AGAIN,
Aud you'll see 1t quite plainly" said John.
So. thanking the lni. tho stranger rode on,
And John gave a hop. skip and Jump;
For back came the stranger within a trice,
Brought up-1t the old town pump;
"Here you are. sir. said John with n smile
"rhe best drinking place TO bc found.
Take good drink. sir. it's free, and you're
welcome too.
It's good for your health, I'll be bound"
lie took the glasS in gooi.natnroi way,
And drank oi the water claar,
Then said, ITS an excellent drink, I'm
sure
The best I've had foe a year"
So srying, he tossed the hd n coin,
THE lesson is worth that 20 me.
Loop on playing your temperance Joke:

COP SEES THROUGH ALL rnrrExcEs.

And he will one day make his intelligent
universe see through them. too. No wolf can
carry his Sleeps clothing with him to the
judgment seat. He must leave everything
false and painted behind. There he must
appear as he il, not ~ he would like to have
men think Of him. Why then spend my time
in garnishing the outside OF INV character,
while my character itself Is neglected.
God sees through al pretences and he
will blow them away at the last day like
chan before the whirlwind. Everything false
and hollow will bo carried into eternal
oblivion. Nothing but the naked reality
will remain. And O. what wreck of human
pomp and parade vain show How in5ig-
niiicant will the great ones Of this world ap-
pear, when all their outward ''pomp and cir
cumstance, in which their greatness lay, Is
left behind, and they appear in their own
prope. littleness before the Judge Of all the
earth. Would men take hundredth part of
the pains to be, that they do seem good and
fair, how well would 1t be for them, and for
society, too.-Ohio Obs.

Other pains are sharper for u time but nono

aggravation, however, was wanting, which
owing to the want OF knowledge In painters,
IL still, we believe. commonly supposed TO
have belonged to the punishment. The weight
Of the body was borne 10y lodge which pro-
jected from the middle OF the upper beam.
and not by the hands and feet, which were
probably found unequal to the strain.
The frailty Of mans frame comes AT
last TO its own defence but enough
remained TO preserve the pre-emi
nence OF torture to the cross. The process Of
mailing was exquisite torment and yet worse
In what ensued than in the actual infection
