Bishop Selwyn has for tWenty-seven years
in New Zealand Travelled as it were with
out scrip or staff. 1t IS said Of him that
when he stopped in a settlers house his
great desire seemed to have been not to
give trouble He would wait upon him
self, he would care for his own room and
when he found his hostess sickly or short
help he would clandestinely get up in the
night and wash his own clothes and in the
morning make his own bed. When visit
ing his poorer parishes he refused wine,
because wine was expensive, and not be
cause he advocated total abstinence, while
at the same time his hospitality at Auck-
land was princely-as princes should ad-
minister their means, not in expensive en-
tertaiment but in unostentatious charities.
1t was an hsbitaal saying Of bis, 4 give
good advice but had dinners" but the
poor at his gates realized the good effects
of his economy.

OF the love of God, while itspeaks OF
His wrath and Indignation sixty.ona
times. Fifty.six times, God in the
plainest and most unmistakab!e Ian
guage, asserts there is He'll as n
place of punishment, and nowhere
by the most plausible rendering, does
He in the Scriptures indicate or
teach, that something else is meant
and that it is not place Of torment.
We now speak of such passages as
already quoted and as follows: "They
shall be tormented with fire." "All
liars shall have their place in the lake
that burneth with fire." "The smoke
of their torment ascendeth up forever
and ever" We need not multiply.


The sickly objection that the stupid
cffer that God is too good to punish,
is simply begging the question, be-,
cause they can produce no other ar.
gument and it is not worth the time
to answer them.


He'll was not made for man, but
for the Devil and his angels and the
Lord is not forcing man that way.
He goes there by his own choice,
He seeks al the means and employs
all the agencies within his power to
gain He'll. He refuses 70 act otie wise
No persuasion-no argument, no in
tluencc on the part of either God OF
man moves him from the CHOICE he
has made, or turns him from the road
in which his wayward feet are tread
ing. Voluntarily and stubbornly he
presses on and eagerly, detiantly and
knowingly he thus takes hold on he!!
This he cannot deny. His con-
science with a thousand other cir.
cumstances stand as witnesses oI
his acts. Now, will he dare say thai
God should destroy that free agency
which he is thus exercising to his
own qualification and injury and SAVE
HIM AGAINST HIS WILL? Would he
be any the more happy in heaven il
God would carry him there in vio-
lation of his free agency? Oh,
would he not rebel and revolt as did
the lost angels? And what claim
has the individual whose career we
have depicted, upon Gods mercy:
Will he pretend to say, that after he
has spent whole life in bold and
daring opposition to God and His
Government, doing all he could to
prevent the success Of the cause of
religion and good in the world, that
God should then reward him with a
home in heaven which he vainly tried
to destroy? What impudence and
audacity is this? 1t is He'll the
wicked rebel seeks; it is He'll he is
entering now and as death removes
the bandage from his eyes, he will
open them only to behold himself in
the possession of the OBJECT NOW

Birds and animals often form friend
ships for other animals not of their own
family, and chow deep and sincere at
tachment. Mr.. Adolphus Sake, cele-
brated inventor of military musical in
struments, had little green parrot, sick
ly, weak and almost featheress. His
workroom was full of brass filings and
unhealthy odors. Accordingly he placed
his old favorite's cage in u large Judas
tree that grew near. The parrot was
adroit enough to open her cage, and would
fly to the upper branches to enjoy her
liberty, returning from time TO time to
her cage for food. AS the cage was often
open and untenanted, sparrow, with the
usual modesty Of its kind, used to enter
and help itself. He got so much at home
that even when the parrot returned he
would not fly of, but kept on eating as
though he were the owner, not an invited
guest. The parrot not only did not re-
sent the intrusion, but formed strong
friendship for the sparrow, which was
evidently reciprocated. When the parrot
felt lonely and wanted company, he imi-
tated the sparrow's chirp to invite his
friend to pay him visit and, unless he
was beysnd hearing distance, the spar
row always came. On his part, the spar
row, in rainy or winter weather, allowed
himself to be shut up in the parrots
cage, utterly disregarding the bolts shut
upon him; which he knew would be
drawn back in the morning. But one
fine, or, rather, one fatal-day, a cat be-
longing to the neighborhood pounced
upon and devoured the sparrow, who,
from his familiarity with the house, had
not learned to be upon his guard. The
parrot, not seeing him return, passed day
and night thenceforth in calling upon
him whom she was never more to see
again, aud a week afterwards she was
found lying dead under the tree, WHITTIER,
by supreme effort, she had contrived to

short time.


If any man shud tell me that lager
beer was not intoxicating shud believe
him; but if he should tell me that |
wasn't drunk that mite but that my STUN
mick was out of order, l shud ask him
to state over a few words just how a man
felt and acted when he was set up.


If warn't drunk that mite, had some
ov the most natural simtums that man
ever had aud kept sober.


In the first place it was about 80 rods
from where drank the lager beer to mi
house, and was jest over two hours on
the road, and hole bustid through each
one of my pantaloon ncez, and didn't
hav any hat, and tried to open the door
by the bell-pull, and hiccuped awfully,
and saw everythin' in the room trying to
get round on the back side of me, and,
sitting down ON chair, / did not wait
long enough for it to get exactly under
me when | wuz going round, and l set
down little too soon and missed the
chair about twelve inches, and couldn't
get up soon enough to take the next one
that come along; and that amt awl, my
wife sed l wuz as drunk as beest, and,
az sed before, began to spin up things
freely.


If lager heer is not Intoxicating it
used me most almighty mean, that l
know.


Still hardly think that lager beer IL
intoxicating, for I hav been told so; and
1 am probably the only man living who
ever drunk eny when bis liver was not
plumb.


l don't want to say anything against a
harmless temperance beverage, butt if ever
I drink eny more, it will be- with mi

For when no joy my pulses thrill


You tell me all the world is dark
While reason whispers all is fair


As when no sorrow filed my breast,
That summers fruits are rich and rare,
And earth is still in beauty drest.
YOU chill me with your dark forebodings,
And tell all is gloom without;
Yet whe sit in reasons tea chings,
find that you are prone to doubt.
Alb, heart, you are an erring preacher;

Wisdom shall hencoforth be my teacher,
The life will wear a SUMMER hue.
All Joy from earth has never fed,


Though youth and summer must depart

THE LAST OF THE Six NATIONS There
was a council of the Six Nations at On
ondaga Castle, last week, and the Indian
citizenship bill, recently introduced by
Senator Herman, in the United States
Senate, was warmly discussed. A cor
respondent of the Utica Republican, who
sat by the council fire, writes that the
drift of the argument was against any
law that would allow or compel them to
become citizens, as such course would
withdraw the protecting arm of the Gov
ernment and open wide the door to the
grasping avarice of the white man. They
would have nothing to gain and every.
thing to lose; it would be for their true
interest to remain as they are. In the
evening the young men entertained their
guests with war dance, in which they
appeared in full Indian costume and war
paint, with tomahawk and scalping knife
and as the war-whoop rang OUT from hill
to valley it required but slight stretch
of the Imagination to take one back to
the time when that cry struck terror to
every white settler who heard it. Keep.
ing step to their native music, these war
riors chanted the prowess and valor Of
their forefathers, when they were the
dominant race; the wrongs which they
had endured in following the course
which the Great Spirit had marked out
for them.-N. Y. Tribune.

The deep interest felt by the people of
Illinois IN the passage of the Silver Bill,
has manifested itself in numerous local
meetings throughout the State, whereat
strong resolutions have been passed in
favor of remonetization, and much enthu-
sIasm in the cause has been exhibited
Some time since the proposition was made
that a State meeting OF the advocates of
the silver dollar should be held at the cap
ital, and it was favorably received on all
sides, the Sth of the present month being
named by some papers as the day on
which it might be held That date, how
ever, is considered too early to make any
arrangements for the meeting and it is now
proposed to hold it on the 18th INST.


The Herald seconds the proposition and
suggests toi its contemporaries throughout
the State who are favorable to the restora-
ton of the old dollar, to announce the pro-
posed meeting and see that arrangements
are made for the appointment of delegates
Let there be good attendance, and a
general representation by leading men
from the different counties. The bill will
probably be under discussion in the senate
at the time, and the voice of Illinois in its
favor will have wholesome influence up
on those senators who may be yet hesita-
ting as to their vote.


THE ARGUS fully endorses the above
proposition. We trust the friends of the
Silver Bill will take immediate action, and


that this county will be properly repre-
| septed

The artificial dveing of cigars has as
vet attracted but little attention among
smokers, and is conducted very quietly
and is apparently harmless, yet under
all circumstances it should be con-
demned Every artificial change of a
natural product ike tobacco, to give it
p better appearance, should Of itself be
branded as improper Then we must
take into consideration the fact that the
natural color Of the cover has an essen
tial influence upon the strength of the
cigar, and consequently most smokers
place great value on the color. BY
artificial coloring, on the contrary, thS
Judgment is deceived, and it makes iJ
impossible to determine the quality Of
the cigar from the color of the cover;
for every dealer now has it in his power
to make splendid dark cigars from his
very light ones without any trouble.
But we have especially to notice that
now poor-colored and refuse cigars may
acquire q fine color and be sold for
good ones. On all these grounds dye
ing cigars must be ranked as an adui-
teration for the purpose of swindling
the public Unfortunately, no means
has vet been devised whereby the peO-
pie can Distinguish such cigars in all
cases from the genuine. All we can do
at present is to cali attention to the fact

to the raised muzzle OF a cannon, into the bore

back. Her head and neck were just visible
when the gun was charged. Then she gave

and she flew toward the spectators, going
some twenty-five or thirty feet in a straight
line before she dropped to the net spread to
catch her. When she again stepped upon the
stage and smiled her acknowledgements of
the applause, her bright garments were not
at all b1ackened by poWdcr-a fact which was
doubtless due to the interior mechanism Of
