  was the oldest, and the youngest son said 1t was this right because he was the youngest. and Mary said 1t was her right because she better understood father $ vertigo and rheumatism and poor spells and knew better how to nurse him, and the only way the difficulty could be set tied was by the old mans promise that he would divide the year into three parts one of them. And neighboring stores in the same line of goods on the same block are acting kindly to each other. l. seenis to me that those words of Isaiah are be- ter encouraged the goldsmith and he that snoothed with the hammer. him that smote the anvil. saying, 1t is ready fol the soldering What Is the matter?

 New Dispensation of Geniality.
 My hearers, you know and I know we are far from that state of things. But why not inaugurate a new dispensatior or genis iity. If we cannot have millen ntum on large scale, let us have It on 2 small scale and under our own vestments Kindness! If u is world is ever brought to God, that is the thing that will do it You cannot fret the world up. although you may fret the world down. You can not seold 1t into excellence or reforma' ton or godliness.

Why when I start they hail me by storm sig. ilals all along the coast. can twist on a ships mast as easily as a cows hooi cracks an alder.
