Rock Of Ages. !"

Writing of the famous hymn
1 Rock of Ages" in the July De.
lineator, Allan Sutherland sayp
when the hymn was written il
mot known, but We may be sure
that it was nothing less than the
voice of the Almighty that inspired
the author to write words of such
soul-stirring power The hymn
first appeared in an unfinished
form, in the Gospel Magazine of
October, It's. and mere fully the
succeeding year in the March num-
Der of the same periodical. This
grand Christian song has had an
enormous influence for good on
humanity. and has been favorite
with many great persons When
Prince Albert, the husband of
Queen Victoria. lay dying in Wind
s0r Castle, almost his last words
were, I have mad wealth power and
fame. but if these were all that 1
hsd, had, what would l have now9
Aud then he wac heard repeating
softly and reverentIy.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide my self in Thee.
Gladstone translated IL into Ttal-
ian. Greek and Latin, but not all
translatings have been as happy as
his A missionary in India writes
that he employed hipdoo scholar
to assist him in translating 'Rook
of Ages into the vernacular. His
surprise may be imagined when he
read, as the result of the effort of
the learned Oriental. the first two
lines:

benefit. Let me get under one of

QUITO OLD AUNT MAEsY's.

Why, / see her now the open door
Where the little gourds grew up the sides and Ger
The clapboard roof aud her face-ah, me!
Waen't it good for a boy to see
Oat to old Aunt Mary's.
All! was there SO kind a face
And gentle as hers, such grace
Ofwelcoming as she cut the cake
Or the juicy pies that she joyed to make
Just for the visiting children's sake
Out to old Aunt Mary's.
The honey, too, in its amber comb
One only finds it in old farm home;
And the coffee fragrant and sweet, and ho
So hot that gloried to drink itso,
With spanges of tears in our eyes, you know
Out to old Aunt Mary,s.
And the romps took in glad unrest!
Was it the lawn that we loved the best
With its swooping swing in the locust trees,
Or was it the grove with its eafy breeze,
Or the dim hay with its fragrancies-
Out to old Aunt Mary's.
Far fields bottom lands creek banks-all
We ranged at will-where the waterfall
Laughed all day as it slowly poured
Over the dam by the old mill ford,
While the tail wrthed and the mill wheel roared
Out to old Aunt Marys
But home, with aunty in call,
That was the best place after ALL
The talks the back porch in the low
Slantng sun and the evening glow,
With the voice of counsel that touched us so
Out to old Aunt Mary's.

Killed Hog In Self Defense.
State of West Virginia, VS.. Frank
Dixon, Indictment for Misd'r.

Dl&on, ,InulcGmenGI Ior MISC +.
The above styled case was one
of the most interesting tried in
Wyoming Circuit Court last week
because of the unique defense set
up. The defendant was charged
with killing a hog, the property
of Martelia Dameron. and was
defended by Senator Matheny of
the Berkley bar. The State
proved the killing and thereupon
rested her case, whereupon the
defendant admitted the llSillino
and relied on self defense. A
battle followed. The character
of his hogship as being bolster
Gus and quarrelsome animal was
thrashed out before the jury, and
his general reputation as a "scrap-
per from Scrappersville" was
shown. Matheny then asked
his client: did you believe
you were in danger of death or
bodily harm at the hands of your
assailant at the time you fired
the fatal shot, and if SO, what
prompted such belief" 1t was
then the defendant painted a
picture calculated to raise the
hair on the head of an average
Juror. Turning to the jury he
said: "Gentleman: 1 was up in
the cornfeld with my gun and
dog, when 1 saw his hogship and
L told my dog to take him. my
dog ran up to him but he re-
fused to retreat or surrender. He
picked my dog up and: lashed
him against the ground, and
there wasn't anything left but a
little blue smoke, and here and
there hair floating in the air.
He then turned his attention to
me, with look upon his counte-
nance that no mortal can describe.
his eyes were green; the froth
was foaming from his mouth
smoke and fire were putting from
his nostrils; his hair was pointing
the other way; his ears were
pinned back, he was wringing
his tail and coming at me with 8
vengeance, and in this awful
moment, I fired the fatal shot
By this time Judge Miller was
leaning forward, and the jury
were almost lifted to their feet
Matheny then arose and asked
; that his client be discharged, and
the Judge said; 'eGentlemen
, turn this man loose, for 1t appe ar
, to the court that under the cir
cumstances he had right to fir
the shot" The tushes of thi
animal, some four inches in lengtl
!. which were introduced in evi
9 dence, are now owned by Judg
y Miller and Senator Matheny res
