Advice To n Yo*ng Man.
You will perceive, my boy, that every
time man undertakes to manufacture a
littlo Bible on Iris own aooount, ho makes
n mortifying fnilnre of it. Ho is eangtit
at it, and in one-tenth the time it took
him to eoneeivo his fraud, in os many
hours ns it took him mouths to propnro
it, he is exposed, and his hand made ad
dition to the Bible is swept away in the
other rubbish of other counterfeiters.
You see. my son, the Bible doesn't need
any of tnese 19th century proofs of its
truth; it needs the word of no man to
establish its genuineness; it lias stood by
itself, “an anvil that lias worn out many
hammers” through century after cen
tury, unchanged and unchangeable.
Every time a man manufactures n now
verso or a new chapter, wo know It is
not genuine, wo detect tho counterfoil.
The Bible has no need of the support
ing prop of a fraudulent ark or n lenthor
Deuteronomy. Them was a complete
Bible oonturies before Hhnpira hap
pened and there will bo tho same Bible
nges nftor Blmpira and his patent Deu
teronomy have together crumbled
into indistinguishable dust. The
Bible doesn't need our help, onr testi
mony, our indorsement. And if there
hnd nover boon discovered in nil tho
world, a bit of parchment, a piece of
pottery or n scratched stone the Bible
would bo just as strong as it is to-day,
and men would believe just ns firmly
and trustfully in its truth. Don’t you
worry, my hoy, because {Umpire's an-
cienl manuscript was written with Lon
don ink, and don’t fret becauso the ark
in tho glacier turirn out to be put to
gether with Pittsburg nails. That all
tho frnuds on tho Bible and its history
are so quickly and ensily detected,
should only convince you how impossi
ble it is for man to counterfeit the work
of God. Wait until somo man fools us
with an artificial moon; and until some
philosopher stores away tho sunlight in
parlor .lnuips, before you believe that
mau can successfully imitate what mau
never mudo. Burdette.

How Many Murderers Escape.
THE PYROTECHNIC ART.
It nppoars that from 18(10 to 1892 a
hundred and seventy persons were tried
in Massachusetts for murder in the first
degree. Of this number only twenty-
nine were convicted nnd only sixteen
paid tho extreme penalty of the law. Of
those oonvioted one committed suioido
and twclvo got, their sentences com
muted. Here, then, during a period of
little more than twenty yenrs were a
lmudrod and seventy murders in ono
Btnte nnd only sixteen executions.
In Connecticut during a period of
thirty years, from 1850 to 1880, uiuety-
soven persons were tried for murder in
tho first degree. Of tlioso only thirteen
were convicted of that orimo and not
more than seven were hanged.
Tho statistics for other States would
doubtless show similar results. In New
York city there were a hundred and
eighty-live homicides during tho four
years oediug with 1877. There was an
nverago of nearly ono lioraibide a weok.
During tho same period there were four
executions, or just one a year. The
number of persons tried for murder in
the first degree in the city is nbout
twenty-llvo every year, tlio number
hanged docs not exceed on tho avorago
one or two a year.
TIicho figures are full of significance.
Tlioy show that either through the fault
of the law itself or its administration liy
jnrics tho statute imposing tho death
penalty for murder is in tho vast ma
jority of cases n dead letter. They
further show that while murder is a
common crime tho murderer in a great
many instances succeeds in escaping
punishment entirely.— W. I’. Herald.
An Attack.
An ingenious attack of cholera oc
curred Ilia popular restaurant of Naples,
where n well-dressed young man ordered
an expensive meal, and was apparently
seizod immediately after eating it with
such violent internal pains and assumed
such a deathly pallor that the guests,
with whom tho possibility of infection
from Egypt is frequently ii topic of con
versation, hurried in consternation from
the place. The young man was taken
to a hospital apparently in a state of
collapse, but there the physicians soon
concluded that lie was shamming. It
turned out finally that ho had no money
about his person, nnd feigned an attack
of cholera to avoid being required to
pay for Ilia weal.
An article in the London Daily Nevis
, on fire-works says:—
A visitor to one of tlioso cnsc-making
sheds in which a good fire may lie roar
ing in an open fireplace will perhaps lie
ratiier startled to notice a number of
barrels and jars which ho will ho apt to
assume are filled with firework-making
materials of au non-explosive cliarnct or or
they would not bo in a building with a
fire in it. These receptacles represent
tho most modern dovolojjmcr.t cf the py
rotechnic art. Just take a dip into the
barrel and bring out a littlo of its con
tents on tho point of a knife nnd hold it
in the dark part of the gas flame, It ia
nrsonito of copper nnd sal ammoniac,
nnd instnntly the broad light of noon
day Is ovor|H>wcred with a blue glare
that would linvo fnirly nst minded Friar
Bacon, or the lloathen Chinee, or John
Bnhlngton, or any other artist in fire of
ancient days. We make another dive
and bring out a littlo chlorate of baryta,
nnd a dazzling outburst of green is tho
result when placed in the flame.
Hero is a barrel of sal nmmonino neid
which Is combined with color-giving
substances to givo dopth and intensity.
Another receptacle holds olrlorate of pot
ash, a source of oxygen gas, without a
good supply of which neither fire-works
nor tlioso for whose onjoymont they are
mado cm bo expected to bo very bright.
Homo of tho coloring substances are
very perilous. If, for instaneo, a little
cmnpomid of nitrnta of strontia nnd
sulphur nnd potash—tho sources of tho
most vivid red color known to chemists—
if a little of this bIiouUI be loft nfter a
display at the Crystal Fnlnco, it is al
ways either fired or buried. It is loo
dangerous to attempt to store. All this
branch of pyrotcchny is of quite rocont
development. Forty or fifty years ago
colored fire-works were unknown, or
nearly so.
Perhaps the most delionte nnd inter
esting feature of modem llre-work-ultik-
iug is tlio charging of lloman onndles—
tlioso colored lmlls which are puffed out
softly into tho nir, ono after tlio other,
without any report, and which always
are rooognized as such a pretty feature
of tho Sydenham displays. Tlio public
like to see tlioso balls thrown out with
exactly on equal foroo, iO as to play
within the snmo sphere. Ill order to
Bccuro this, very careful adjustment is
necessary. Tho fiery lmlls of color are
littlo lumps of composition filled into
tho enso, and separated from oneli other
by a layer of "dark lire,” a littlo cliargo
of gunpowder being just underneath. It
is this littlo charge of powder which
blows them into tho nir; and if all tho
ohatgcH wore alike, ovory ball would be
thrown out n littlo further than its pre
decessor, becauso tlio deeper down in
onso an oxplosiou takes plnco tho more
violent it is. tho resistance being greater.
To obviate this the cliargo of powder ia
made to iueronso ns the tubo is filled
up. Tho workman who fills a Homan
eandlo, therefore, has before him a
series of littlo scoops of different sizes
for measuring the powder, and uses them
in succession, the smallest being used
for tho first bnll put in at the month of
tlio tube. The “dark fire” is a composi
tion which only smoulders, nnd which,
Ihorofore, does not burn down to a sec
ond hall until the flint has performed its
grucoful progress through the air. Of
all fireworks tho rockot is perhaps the
most beautiful, and it certainly is tho
most curious in its structure.
Home of tho best of them nro said to
rise to n height of more than a third of
a milo, nnd this amazing power of flight
is sooured by running very tightly into
tlio roekot-cHBO a composition which
Inirus fiercely, and generates gas very
rapidly when once lighted, but which
lias ouly a very small vent for its fury at
tlio lower end of tlio ease. The gas gen
erated inside rushes out with such vio
lence against the nir outside that tlio
rookot is driven upward liy it, tlio tail of
the comet consisting of tlio sparks of tho
fire burning within. Hookel-making, of
coiirso, forms n part of tho work ot any
(Ire-work faotory. In ono shed the eases
are being made; in another building
sticks nro being split up and rounded at
the head so ns to ilt into the rocket-case.

Story About a Tree Toad.
In tlio full of 1881 Mrs. William Red-
ficld, living in Middletown. N. Y., dig-
■overed a tree toad on a oalla lilly which
die had potted and removed to the
louse. Tho toad was not disturbed nnd
it remained in its adopted homo nil
winter, burying itself in the earth in
tho flower pot, and stayed beneath tho
surface most of tho timo until spring.
I'he plant was carried out of doors in
the spring, nnd tho toad came out of
1 ho ground and sang its shrill song all
slimmer on tho lill.v, nnd when the
flower pot was taken in again in the fall
buried itself ns before. Early last
spring it disappeared, nnd was not seen
again until tlio 2d of September, when
it was discovered in its old quarters with
i companion. Tho two toads scorn to
lave settled down contentedly in tlio
flower pot. During tho daytime they
sleep while clinging to the cnlla leaf or
stalk, and in the ovening they serenade
the household with their peculiar duct.

Revenge Is Sweet.
There was a young man of Sing Sing,
says tho Now York Tribune, but per
haps it will be best to make a plain prose
statement of this matter, though the lino
runs to metre, in writing of romance and
war. Ho was jealous of his wife, from
whom ho hail been separated after two
days of married life, and when ho asked
her why a certain young man came to
seo her so often, ho found himself sud
denly slnpped ns to his mouth and kicked
ns to his shins. Then lie determined on
revenge. He did not shoot her or him,
nor did ho take poison himself. Ho lay
in wait for the young man, angered him
by some remarks, and when tlio young
man wickedly swore, tho husband had
him arrested, and stood by in fiendish
exultation while the Judge fined him
two dollars for profanity. This was a
safe mid peaceable vengeance, and may
be commended to husbands of n fiery
and impetuous disposition, who may be
led, when tlieir shins are kicked, into

For Kicking Ills Wife.
A newspaper correspondent who lins
recently mnilo a visit to the Massachu
setts State rrisnn at Concord, relates an
interesting incident which many will bo
inclined to look upon ns illustrative of
tlio fnct that Divine retribution is not
always delayed in its application until
tho future life is entered upon. He
snj-B :
“I was standing in the main hall, en
gaged in conversation with tho deputy
warden, when I observed an old man ad
vancing through tho corridor who was
dragging his right leg behind him. It
wns pcrfeotly useless, and hung like a
mass of lead. I asked the warden nbout
his history, and ho told me that lie had
been sentenced for life for kicking his
wife to death, and that soon after lie en
tered the prison tlio leg which ho hnd
used for that purpose began to grow use
less, and till now it wnR entirely devoid
of life.”
“Thomas,” said a gentleman to n col
ored wlritcwnshcr, “can I put entire con

then, I've half an acre of watermelons
