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.

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.

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. “I understand that you referred to mo ns n pig, sir,” remarked n pompons elderly gentleman to a young man who had spoken disparagingly of him to a third person. “You have been misin formed, sir,” replied the young man, “I liopo I ltnsw better than to refer to a person of your advanced age as a pig.” —Eochcstcr Express. are being prepared for the fiery mes sengers whoso heads nro holding cham bers eai'ablo of holding “tail stars,” comets, colored stars, golden rniu, float ing lights, and a score of other surprises when the rocket cau rise no higher, 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 6omo deed of terrible rashness.
