WILDE Aug 17 tf GETTYSBURG BEHOLD THY The bare mention of these words must recall vividly to the mind of the reader their Author and the thrilling casion on which they uttered The fearful agony of the garden had passed The vile betrayer had led on his infernal band and delivered into their hands the Prince of Peace The mock trial in the hall of the Sanhedrim had dosed the victim tortured with a crown of thorns and arrayed in a mock robe had been led like a lamb to the slaughter The nails had been driven the cross erected and the Son of God with the load of a world's guilt upon him hung in dreadful agony between the heaven and the earth It was an awful description The earth was heavens were clothed in sackcloth and the withdrawal of the light of even his father's nance led him in untold anguish to ex- claim My God my God why hast thou forsaken In this awful crisis could any earthly object attract his mind in any degree even for a moment from the dreadful agony he was enduring his eye rested upon his weeping mother whom not even the terrors of the cross could induce to him ver was a virtue more sublimely ed than was filial love in the dying Even unid the inconceivable ony of such a death a mothers comfort was not forgotten Directing her tion to the affectionate disciple whom emphatically he loved he said man behold thy son and to the ple added Behold thy mother Such an exhibition of filial love needs no comment it surpasses all eulogium We have brought it up not to add thing to the simple scripture narrative but co direct the mind of the reader to this transcendently bright example of fil- ial piety To the daughter gliding thoughtlessly perhaps along the gay path of youth almost unconscious that life has toils and cares we would say Behold thy Note the expression of her if there be not untimely furrows wearing in her carefully her thy mother Pain sickness death itself can never quench the ardor of her love for you never let pleasure or pain the charms or perplexities of life lead you to forget her Young in the business or pleasures of the endeared circle of domestic ties or wandering far away immured in classic halls or versing the wide earth embarked in bold speculations or toiling in the field the shop or the permit us gently to whisper in your ear Behold thy mother Her anxious heart beats fondly for hours witness her solicitude for your her may have faults is your mother Is she a widowed mother Then doubly sacred is the obligation resting upon you to revere and cherish The fountains of her grief who can CLERICAL PUN A

people disposed themselves to rest and in a short time LIFE IN NEW ENGLAND An intelligent gentleman who has been travelling extensively during the last mer in New England speaks to us in raptures ofthe wonderful enterprise and energy of the people Not only in man- said he but in every branch of trade and especially in agriculture they a wonderful improvement the preacher was saluted with a

of furniture falling down in Boston and the neighboring towns from the of the late earthquake and to the probability of our hearing soon of severe earthquakes in South America winds up with a capital story of earthquakes and the of all things here below reminds us of an old monied man who formerly lived in this same city of Boston He was quite rich and in hard limes was wont to lend money to those in necessity but was also a most unconscionable lock and asked always some exorbitant premium and would hardly ever be con- tent with any reasonable security Good notes well endorsed were offered No he could not take might fail and he should lose his money Vessels with cargoes at sea well insured were named No he wanted no such stuff as that hurricanes and storms might blew them into fragments and the insurance offices burst up What will you cried the borrower at last almost in despair I have some valuable real tate will you take that the profane old miser quakes will crack by and by and your real estate will go to the I'll keep my money The Nightmare on a A terrible consternation was created on board the Hendrick Hudson on Friday night as she was ploughing her way from Albany to New York All the passengers were soundly asleep and no- thing could be heard but the movement of the engine when a fellow jumped from his birth and at the top of his voice cried fire fire we are all ill lost Instantly every soul was and on and confusion and a scene followed which palled the stoutest when it was discovered that the alarm proceeded from a passenger who was troubled with the nightmare A Good Anecdote Old or We are told that the conversation was overheard Volunteers on the Rio Grande Scene Two volunteers aed in blankets and half buried in mud Volunteer 1st Jim how came you to a Volunteer Why Bob you see I have no wife to care a red cent for me and so I volunteered and besides like war Now tell me how you came out here Volunteer Why the fact is you know I I have got a wife and so I came out here because 1 like peace Hereupon both volunteers turned over in their blankets got a new plastering of mud and went to sleep Humboldt gives some amusing words heard in the conversation of the native Mexicans A kiss is called Here is a contradiction ofthe old saw which says a thing is easier said than done roads too have been made as smooth as a bowling alley Through every part of the country the tide of life with ceaseless activity When you are on the railroads said our informant you meet with such a multitude that population seems travelling When you leave the cars and get upon the cross roads visit the farms or look into the shops the whole population seems at work and hard work too with their coats off and fourteen hours a day toiling for their bread Can Folk's free trade crush such a people Pep The John at a late meeting of the British Association for the advancement of Science expressed the opinion that the temperature of the moon's climate must be verv high far above thai of boiling wafer And the reason is that its surface is exposed for fourteen days at a time to the unmitigated and continual heat of the sun At the full and for a few days afterwards the moon must certainly be the reflector of some heat to the earth Sir John has no doubt of the fact but as it has the acter of culinary rather than solar heat that is to say it emanates from a body below the temperature of it will be arrested by the upper strata of the atmosphere and thus ed There its only effect will be to con- vert visible clouds into transparent vapor He asserted that the phenomena of the rapid dissipation of clouds in moderate weather soon after the appearance of the full moon could be easily accounted for on this principle and that his own observations confirmed the theory Jl Good Erskine was dis- through life for independence of principle for his scrupulous adherence to truth Fie once explained the rules of his conduct which ought to be deeply engraven on every heart He said was a first command and council of my early youth always to do what my con- science rne to be rny duty and leave the consequence with God 1 shall carry with me the

more nutritious for man or beast than THE COLOR OF HORSES The following article which we cut from the Prairie Farmer contains ments which as facts or may be worth attention If the writer's theory be correct horse may at once come into vogue and color will be as important to horses as to other artists whose profession it is to draw There is no one fact that mankind are more ig- of than the color horse is a sure indication of his character In this article I shall attempt to give a few rules by which a man of common observation can tell the disposition of a horse as soon as he sees him The first thing to be observed is the color of the animal the second is the phrenological developments If his color is a light sorrel his feet legs and face white these are marks of kindness Then if he is broad and full between the eyes I will warrant him to be a horse of good sense and easily trained to do any Such horses will have good treatment the kinder you treat them the belter they will treat you in return A horse of the above description will never stand the whip if he is well fed One thing to be always observed in buying a horse i you want a gentle one is to get one will more or less white about him A spot ted one is preferable We see many o this kind used in circuses Some have supposed that this color was sought fo by the owners of these establishments because of its oddity it is not so it it because horses of this description are the easiest trained to we see feats that perform the them go through such places Again if you want a safe Dow jr closed a on kissing with the quaint advice I want you rny young sinners to kiss and get married and then devote your life to morality and money making Then let your home be well provided with such comforts and necessaries as piety

By this tion all danger from rotting is removed and tim moat valuable root or tuber can be preserved like wheat or beans for an indefinite period Snoring down east horse avoid one that he may be is he
