cred some time ago In Australia, gold

Paramatta In 1889. The unfortunate
fellow was at once charged with hav-

The Millennium win Come:

When rulers have learned to sacrifice
personal ambition for the lives and
happiness Of their subjects.
When the rich cease to extort from
the community the necessaries Of life.
When patriotism inspires the maker

When the strong help the weak.
When every ones motto is, DO unto
others as you would have others do
unto you.''
When history ceases to repeat itself.

The Guilty. &tool-

The Guilty stool was the seat of re-
pentance formerly employed in the
Scottish church for the exposure of
offenders against the moral law. The
Tansgressor, having been deprived OF
church ordinances and duly taken to
task privately, was then compelled to
make public acknowledgment of the
mlsdeed prior to being restored 10
favor. Each culprit did penance by
occupying the Guilty stool in the pres
ence OF the whole congregation and
was openly lectured by the minister on
the enOrmity Of the offense.
