Shall Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No; there's q cross for every one,
And there's a cross for me.

You bore a hole into tree, and put
in the branch of another tree.
This tree of the cross was hard and
tough, but into the holes where the
nails went there have grated branches
of the Tree of Life that now bear fruit
for all nations. The original tree was
bitter, but the branches ingrafted
were sweet and now all the nations
pluck the fruit and live forever.

PROFITS OF MURDER.

ting Larger Returns.
Much has been published in England
about the professional assassins OF
Paris, writes our Paris correspondent,
and in many cases fabulous gains haze
been attributed to them as result OF
their crimes, but these exist more fro
uuentlv in fiction than in fact. Stats.
tics recently compiled by the project OF
Paris police throw a good deal of light
on the assassin's trade as practiced in
modern times. Especially interesting
are they in view of the popular, but
very erroneous, idea that the assassin's
trade is a profitable one. That it is
quite the reverse seems to be clearly
proved by a record of the profits
gained by notorious assassirs during
the last 80 years.
Biographies of a large number OF
Frech murderers, some of whom paid
the penalty of their crimes on the gull
lotine, while others were transported 10
New Caledonia, show that the average
murderer makes far less money in his
abominable trade than is made by any
third-rate artisan or even day-laborer.

a few criminals and a statement
