Mr.. McNair was really astonished at
Judge Lucas urging Il trial, when he had
told him the night before that he must
examine his sons effects for a certain lost
paper. When court took n recess he
asked him if he was really in earnest
about going to trial.
I'VE must have n continuance" he
whispered, but we will make them apply
for it. If they knew that the salvation of
this case depended on continuance, they
would fight such move to the bitter
end"
II understand. You have mised them
Slightly. They are in a desperate
strait. Col. Benton, who has recently
| been attacked by Ii spasm of virtue, re-
| fuses to have anything more to do with
the case. They will continue, and then
shall have an opportunity to examine my
| sons effects"
But if they don't?'
I'VE must have a continuance, But
wait, and see if | am not right; | am sure
| have not miscalcuated measures at all,
and time will convince you. Seem eager
for trial.
When court convened that afternoon,
and the ease of La Boone VS.. McNair was
called, there was Il scene of general con-
fusion.

SELECTIONS.
''Jerusalein, the Golden!
There all our birds that flew,
Our flowers but half unfolden,
Our pearls that turn to dew,
And all the glad life music
Now heard no longer here,
Shall come again to greet us
AS we are drawing near"
Upon the tombstone ola young woman,
blind from her birth, stands the single
sentence, There shall be no night there"
Thus heaven will be to each soul that
for which that soul has the keenest and
highest capacity for enjoyment.
Far out of sight, while sorrow still infolds
Lies the fair country where our hearts
abide,
And of this bliss is naught more wondrous
Than these few words: IT shall be salts
fed"
The rabbin's report, that, when Joseph
had gathered much corn in Egypt, he
threw the chaff into the Nile, that, flow
ing to the neighboring cities and nations
more remote, they might know what
abundance was laid up for them. So
God hath thrown some husks to us in
this world, that, tasting the sweetness
thereof, we might aspire to his bounty
above. If there be such glory in Gods
footstool, what will there be in his
throne? If he give us so much in the land
of our pilgrimage, what will he not give
US in our own country? If so much to
his enemies, what will he not give to his
friends?

LESSON THOUGHTS.

The thought of dwelling with our Saw
ior should be the highest hope held up
before us for our heavenly home.
All is perfect purity and holiness in
heaven; but we are by nature sinful and
impure, and there shall in no wise enter
into it anything that de6leth. Our only
hope of entering heaven, then, is through
Jesus; if we seek any other entrance we
shall lose our way.
