Perjury.

The Hebrew interpreter of one of the
District courts of the city of Brooklyn
presented Justice Hartman with a He
brew Bible, saying, Il hope that its
use may be the means of stopping my
co reIigio! pists from perjury"
These T Hebrews will do we'll to read,
And I I'll be a swift witness against
the sorcefers, and against the adulters,
and against false swearers, x x
saith the Lord of hosts"
1t appears that nearly all the litiga-
ton between Hebrews in Brooklyn is
transacted IN that court, and the judge
says that he is startled at the amount
OF perjury committed.
Alas, what judge is not startled at
ne amount of perjury committed
The Christian Bible is not sufficient to
prevent many from kissing it to make
a talsehood seem credible.
a Christian man is higher, and
deeper, and broader than other men
are. He is mor fully developed in all
MS capacities both for joy and sorrow.
Christ suffered unspeakably more than
any other man who ever lived could
suffer. He had in Himself all the noble
ness of man and all the gentleness of
woman; He had vaster capacities of
suffering than other men possess.
oEolcal Indifference to pain is an evil
uencej of a coarse and brutal nature.

Take Courage.

Reader, do you sometimes 'loose
heart" and feel that the battle for
truth is almost lost-that Wickedness
is winning the day It so at such times
read or sing the following common
measure hymn:
so it is hard to work for God
To rise and take his part
UOon this battle, field of earth,
And not sometimes lose heart!
He hides himself so wondrously
AS though there were no God;
He Is ldast seen than all the powers
u ILL are most abroad;
CT he deserts us In the hour
The fight is all but lost;
And sebms to leave us to ourselves
Just when we need him most.
Il is nod 90, but so it looks;
And We lose courage then;
And dol lbts will cure if God hath kept
His 4romises to men
But rig at is right since God is God;
And right the day must win;
To douH d would be disloyalty,
To faA ter would be SIM"
Do not forget that music drives bad
AWAY from US. See 1 Sam. Is :23.

out of the business you want an Incubator. They hatch as large a per cent
of the eggs as the living hen, and will hatch Ter or twenty times as many as
the living hen, and do the work at a season of the year that hens wi not
hatch chickens, thereby giving you advantage in selling frying size chick

Edmund HALEY.

Probably the greatest service which
HALEY ever rendered to human knowl-
edee was the share which he took in
bringing Newton's Principal" before
the world. In fact. as DIR. Glaisber, writ.
ing in 1888. has truly remarked, "but
for HALEY the Principal would not
have existed.
HALEY had the genius to perceive the
tremendous Importance Of Newton's re-
searches. and he ceased not to urge upon
the somewhat recluse man Of science the
necessity for giving his discoveries pub
location. Having been authorized by the
Royal society to undertake the printing
of the book at his own expense, HALEY
spared no pains in pushing forward the
publication Of his illustrious friends
great work. 80 much so that in the same
year he was In position to present q
complete copy to King James ii, with n
proper discourse Of his own. HALEY also
wrote a set Of Latin hexameters, In
praise Of Newton's genius, which ne
printed at the beginning of the work.
The last line Of this specimen OF Hal
ley's poetic muse may be thus rendered,
