We removed him by the back door, and the house was left in the charge of two police officers during the night. Next morning made further search with MT. Potts, and took down the bricks in the chimney piece. We found these portions of the skull (pro- ducing small pieces of bones). The pieces vary ill size. We also found a piece of paper burnt, which was down ill the draft along with the bones. There had been no fire in the grate for some time. Alter the prisoner had been taken into custody charged him at the police station with the wilful murder of Emily Holland, aged seven years, at Moss street, on March 29, 1876.

 Witness-He repGed: "I am inno- cent, and God knows am."

 The prisoners detailed confession is substantially to the following effect: That, on the day when the tragedy was enacted, he sent Emily Holland for half an ounce of tobacco. When she return ed he asked her to come in the house. He got hold of her and carried her up stairs, and in the front room committed the outrage upon her. He took @ razor and coolIy cut her throat. To prevent the blood from covering the floor he wrapped her clothes around her. Next he battered her brains out and cut up the body, putting the head and arms on khe fro which ha had raceDtlv kind1ed in that room, and wrapped the trunk and legs in newspapers, ooncealing the parcels till it would be convenient to remove them. After this he went down stairs and shaved some of his customers with the razor which had been used to cut the girls throat. The horrible work having been finished, he locked the door of his shop and went to the theater. Great sympathy is felt for the bereaved parents of Emily Holland. The mother is in desponding state. The father is little better now that the murderer has been found out.

There is vast difference between an
orthodox Pharisee and an orthodox
Christian. An evangelical who is evan
gelical only in the form of his prayers,


in the intellectual cast of his mind, is
one of the greatest impediments the gos-
pei has to overcome to-day. Such an OBJ
stacle is the best for his purpose that Sa-
tan can heave up in the path of advanc-
ing truth. What we need is, not more
appearance of piety, but piety not
more professors and protesting, but more
actual exemplification of the truths pro-
fessed. The Divine Word needs an in
carnation in the person of every man
and woman who nominally follow the Lord
Jesus. We should prolong, as it were,
his presence on earth, and, by our like
ness to him, make his stay perpetual.
In one sense, Christ has left this earth
that is, his body is no longer with us
but in larger sense he is still with us,
and will continue to be while there is a


single soul thinks as he thinks, and feels
towards man and God as he feels.
Seeming is weakness being is strength.
All exaggeration of piety has, in the
long run, a disastrous result. When
promise exceeds performance; when
verbal conservation is great, and actual
conservation is small when great expec-
tations are raised, only to be disappoint-
ed, then may all who sincerely desire the
progress of religious principles be alarm
ed. Whoever serves God only or chiefly
in appearance is his worst foe. Chris
tians should be what they seem. "Be
not as the Pharisees. - Golden Rule.

TRUTHFULNEss TO CHMDREN.-Ap pa
rent, unlike poet, is not born-he is
made. There are certain things which
he has at once to learn, or he will have
no more influence over his child than if
he were a common stranger. To gain
obedience, you must first set yourself to
deserve it Whatever you promise your
little one, however small the thing may
seem to you, and whatever trouble it
costs you, perform it. Never let the
doubt once enter the little mind that you
say what you do not mean, or will not
act up to what you say. Make as few
prohibitory laws as you possibly can,
but, once made, keep them. In what is
granted as in what is denied, compel
yourself, however wearied or worried, or
impatient, to administer always even

Now that the Montenegrins are in the


heat of warlike operations, it is interesting
to know their method OF making war, which
is very primitive. A Montenegrin never
sues for mercy, aod when one is so severely
wounded that he cannot be saved from the
enemy, his own comrades take upon them
selves the pleasant duty of cutting off his
head. When at the attack Of Clobuck, q
small detachment of Russian troops was
obliged to retreat, an officer of stout make
and no longer young, fell on the ground
from exhaustion. A Montenegrin perceiv
ing it ran Immediately to him, and having
drawn his yatagan, said, "You are very
brave and must wish that 1 should cut of
your head. Say prayer and make a sign
of the cross" The officer, Mortified at the
proposition, made an effort TO rise and re-
join his comrades with the assistance of the
friendly Montenegrin. They coDsider all
those taken by the enemy as killed. They
carry out Of the battle their comrades on
their shoulders. Arms, a small loaf Of
bread, a cheese, some garlic, . little brandy,
an old garment and two pair of sandals
made of raw hide, form all the equipage of
the Montenegrins. 1t is impossible to re-
tain them in the reserve, and il seems that
they cannot calmly bear the view of the
enemy. The tactics of the MOntenegrins
are confined to being skillful marksmen.
A stone, a hole, q tree offer them a cover
from the enemy. Firing usually in pros
trate position on the ground, they are not
easily hit, while their rapid and sure shots
carry destruction into the closed ranks of a
regular army. They have besides a we'll
practiced eye for judging of distance, and
thoroughly understand how to take advan-
tage Of the ground. Of course it will al
ways be difficult to employ such warriors
against regular troops.
