U HIV BRSAIoIS.il ON ITS LAST I.EGS
Judas was Dot a wretch abhorred,
And lor h:s crimes eccuraed ;
Ke, by a cord, outwent his Lord,
And got to Heaven first.
Thus Pharaoh and his mighty host
■ lied God like honors given ;
A pleas.int bretza brought them with ease
By water safe to Heaven.
And so the wicked Sodomites,
When God hade Lot retire,
Went in a trice »o Pa adise
On rapid winga of fire.
So when the ancient Canaanites
To Joshua’s sword were given,
Tne sun stood still that he might kill
Andpaok them cffto Heaven,
God saw the rebels wero too bad
To own the promised land,
no therefore took th >pe rebels np
To dwell nt his right hand.
The hntoiiIuvian3 wero too good
Ou this poor earth to dwell;
God, in his love, took them above,
And Noah left t" Hell!

A Texas SJaj-er Voiuutarily Gives Ilimsell
in Charge.
New Orleans Picayune.
Officer Quinn was quite astonished
yesterday, when on his beat he was
met by a man who introduced him-
self by a voluntary surrender of his
person. To the question of inquiry
made by the officer, the stranger replied
by the following statement:
‘‘On the 29ih of January, 1875, I was
in Johnson county, Texas. About 10
o’clock r. M. on that day a man uamed
William Gerard and myself were play
ing cards on the roadside, about two
miles from Cleburne, Johnson county.
We had been riding together, ard oc
casionally took a friendly drink of
whisky, some of which we both had.
Gerard proposed a game of seven-up,
the stake to be whisky, and on my eig
nifying my consent to the proposition,
we both dismounted and commenced
to play.
“Neither of us was sober. I wtm a
game and declared the fact, but Gerard
insisted that I was not ou’. and befuro
I could tealize what he intended, he
whipped out a bowie knife and cut me
across the thigh. I then drew my pis
tol, an army sized Colt’s revolver, and
fired three times. Gerard dropped, one
of the shots taking effect in his head
and killing him instantly.
When I discovered that he was dead
1 placed a piece of paper on his breast,
incribed with the following words:
‘Idled by J. B. Scoggins, and you will
find me in Bell couuty, Texas.’ I went
to Bell county, and was arrested bv the
sheriff, but subsequently escaped.
Since then I have been engaged prin
cipally in eluding the officers of justice
until I am tired of this life of constant
dread, and will willingly accompany an
officer to Texas.
“Scoggins was consequently arrested
and confined in the Central Station,
subject to the action of the Texas offi
cials, who have been informed of his
surrender.
Why Mrs. Thompson ran in to
see Mrs. Hayes.
Wash. Cor. Cin. Enquirer.
The Cabinet ladies arc all matter of
fact, practical women. To illustrate:
A few davs ago eevtral ladies were call
ing on Mrs. Hayes. They wero en
gaged in pleasant chat when the door
"pened and the usl er announced Mrs.
Thompson. Mrs. Hayes advanced;
introductions followed and were ac
knowledged by a bow. Mrs. Thomp
son walked toward the window over
looking the lawn, and said :
“Mrs. Hayes, where do they pasture
your cows ?”
‘Really,” said madame, quite over
come by the cow question, “I can’t tell
you.’
“Well, I can,” returned the wife of
the nautical man ; “they pasture them
on that field, and it’s full of garlic—
just full of it. This morning we couldn’t
use the cream; the coffee was ruined,
and I don’t, for the life of me, see how
vou and Mr. Hayes can stand it. I’d
make the men go out therewith case-
knives, if I were you, and cut it all up.
It would not be the work of an hour.
Why, I could do it myself if I had
time.”
I'll speak to the steward, Mrs
Tnompson, and see that it is attended
Come and sit down.”
Oh, no.' I only ran over to ask you
about the cow pasture, and must go.
Goodbye! Good morning, ladies!” and
off she went.
Noble Illustration-
Lord Canarvon, in addressing the
people of Bira ingbam, used the fol
lowing illustration :
“Travelers tell us that in some of the
Eastern seas, where those wonderful
coral Har ds exist, the insects that form
the coral within the reefs, where they
are under the shelter of the protecting
rocks, out of the reach of wind and
wave, work quicker, and their work is
appa>ent]y sound and good. But on
the other hand, those little workers
who work outside those reefs, in the
foam and dash of waves, are fortified
and hardened, and their work is firmer
and more enduring. And so I believe
it is with men. The more their minds
are braced up by conflict, by the ne
cessity of forming opinions upon diffi
cult subj-cts, the better they will be
qualified to go through the hard wear
and tear of the world, the better they
will be able to hold their own in that
conflict of opinion which after all it is
man’s dutv to meet.”
Humbert’s Proclamation-
Humbert, son and successor of the
late Victor Emmanuel, upon ascending
the throne of Italy issued the following
proclamation:
“Italians—The greatest misfortune
has suddenly befallen us. Vic'or Em
manuel, founder of the Kingdom of
Italy and its unity, has been taken
from us. I received his last sigh, which
was for the nation ; his last wishes,
which were fot the happiness of his
people. His voice, which will always
resound in my heart, bids me banish
sorrow and indicates my duty at this
moment. There is only one consola
tion possible, ramely, to show our
selves worthy of him, I by following in
his footsteps, and you by remaining
by those civic virtues by the aid of
which he accomplished the difficult
task of rendering Italy great and
united. I shall be mindful of hi.- great
example to the country, the love of
progress and faith in the liberal insti
tutions which are the pride of my house.
My sole ambition will be to deserve the
love of my people. Talians, your first
King is dead. Let us unite, in this
hour of great sorrow. Let us strength
en that concord which has always been
the salvation of Italy.”
In the State prison at Charlestown,
Mass., is a man named Dunaunin, who
has had an even ul career. When the
war began he was serving a sentence of
thirty years, out was pardoned out on
condition that he would enlist in the
army. His bravery quick[y won the
good will of his officers, who knewnoth-
ing of his anteceedants, and after the
battle of Fretlricksburg he acted as a
spy, gaining important information. He
was afterward captured and sentenced to
Libby prison apd paroled. He broke
the parol, re-enlisted, deserted, com
mitted a burglary, and is back in his old
quarters, with twelve years more to
serve.
One thousand shingles, says a news
paper paragraph, will cover one hun
dred square feet of surface. One
shingle, by the way, will cover six
square inches of bad boy, and, if prop
erly applied, will be productive of as
much benefit and more noise than the
one thousand shingles on one hunred
square feet of surface. Figures won’t
lie.
The Charleston News indulges ex
travagant hopes. “One of these dayes,”
it says, “the ideal President will take
up his quarters at the White House,
and frame a message that can be read
in five minutes, and will leave the pub
lic in no uncertainty as to his views ou
every matter of importance.”
While he was counting over the col
lection money on Sunday last the dea
con of a Washington Church found a::
old faded piece of paper which, being
unfolded proved to be his nearly out
lawed note of S30 and interest which the
holder, unable to culect, had turned in
to the treasury of the Lord.
The small boy has two prime objects
in view in getting a “fighting cut” to
his hair in warm weather. One is to
show his vigilant father that be hasn’t
been in swimming; and the other, be
cause he can lie in bed five minutes
longer in the morning, as he doesn’t
have to comb his hair.
Mr. Watterson tells in his lecture of
a Mississippian who was asked wheth-
it was worth while to carry a pistol:
“Well, stranger,” he answered, “you
mout move about for a year and not
want it, and then again you moalu'l
and if you do need it, you will need it
powerful.”
A rumor reaches us front Charleston
that Gov. Wade Hampton, induced by
certain political considera'ions, will
recommend to the Legislature, at its ap
proaching session, the passage of a
general bill of amnesty for all the pub
lic thieves in South Carolina.
Camel’s h-dr shawls are not made of
camel’s hair. They come of the wool
of the Thibet' goat. Thus it will be
seen that women not only have the wool
pulled over their eyes, but over their

A summer sunset: The sun had
nearly reached the horizon, when a
small blaok thunder cloud settled
across its face. The cloud at once be
came fringed with gold. Sharp points
cflight shot . out from the edge in all
directions, while a bright halo expan
ded far beyond and finally blended with
the blue sky. Gradually the jet black
of the cloud changed to a purple hue,
then suddenly a dazzling flood of light
burst through the centre, and in a few
moments the sun sank out of sight in
a sea of molten gold.
“See here, Parker, what’s the differ
ence between a ripe watermelon and a
rotten cabbage ?” asked one letter-car
rier of another the other day.
“You’ve got me there. I don’t know,”
he returned, with a look more puzzled
than an ilii'erate man at a cross-roads
guide-board.
“Then you’d be a mighty nice man
to send after a watermelon, you would,”
rem irked the qutzzer as he moved on.
Bill Shute was a member of the
Twenty-sixth. While the boys crowded
around the old flag at the recent re
union Bill, with an irrepressible hu
mor, called out:
“Boys, I am no speaker, bui there’s
a blamed sight more of you here than
ever I saw in a fight.” This brought
down the house.
The total number of Methodists in
the United Suites is over 3 315,000; in
Canada. 161,173; in Great Britain and
her colonies, 907,404. In all the world
they number 4.3S3.SS8. The increase
in lay members tor 1877 throughout
the world is given as 211.309.
“Well, may I hope, then, dear, that
at some future time I may have the
happiness of making you my wife?’’
“Yes, I hope so, I am sure,” she re
plied, “for I am getting tired of suing
fellows for breach of promise.”

A Bishop asked a little child:
“My little friend, tell me where God

“My Lord,” replied the child, “tell

The following laconic epitaph,
carved on a Spanish tombstone, should

“I was well, I tried to feel better,
took physic, and here I am.”
•Two Kentucky hunters amused them

there was fun in the sport until one
