When God Let's Loose a Thinker.

Beware when the great God let's

all things are at risk. 1t Is as when

safe or where it will end. There is
not a piece of science but its flank
may be turned tomorrow. There Is
not any literary reputation, not the so
called eternal names of fame, that may
not be revised and condemned. The
very hopes of man, the thoughts of
his heart, the religion of nations, the

The Minister'S Dream.

Impelled against his will, the min
lister made ready and accompanied
his guide, who strangely enough, led
him to a large livery stable. With
supernatural sight he beheld, as he
passed from stall TO stall. the dis
eases that made life a torture for
many of the horses there. Some
were troubled by toothache, exag-
gerated by having a bit in the mouth
all day, some could not eat well, on
account OF torn and bleeding mouths,
irregular teeth and other Ills. Others
held mp their feet and moaned with
pain. Shoes pat on haphazard-in
most cases their feet cut down TO
