What a Bliirid Man Saw.
Ho saw an honest man on *Cha.<.^je'
And water ran np hill;
Saw T rival beauties tender friends—
A doctor take his pill.
He saw a parson “feed his flock” —
A wolf give lambkins suck—
Police decline to pick a lock —
A fox decline a duck.
He saw the poor dote ou the rich—
The pigeon on the kite—
Attorneys starve before they’d cheat,
And fleas that wouldn’t bite.
He saw a sinner made a saint —
A pig’s tail made a whistle,
And nature’s bloomon matron’s cheek;
Pinks growing on a thistle/
He saw that all men wouldn’t steal,
When shielded by the law 7 ;
And other very usual things
This very blind man saw.
Compensation.
There is not a heath, however rude,
But lnuh some little flower
To brighten up its solitude,
And scent the evening hour.
There’s not a heart, however cast
By grief or sorrow down,
But hath some picture of the past
To love and call its own.
Them Good Old JDazc.
How I do long (once in a while) for
them good old daze.
Them daze when there waz more fun
in 30 cents than there is now in 8 dol
lars and a half.
Them daze when a man married 145
pounds of woman, and less than 9
pounds (awl told) of enything else.
How I do long for them good daze
when edckashiui konsisted in w hat men
did well.
Them daze when dekons were as
austere as hoss redish, and ministers
preached to men’s souls instead of
their pockefx.
Them daze when politics was the ex
ception and honesty the roolc.
Them daze when dorgs wunt known,
and when brown bread and baked
goose made a good dinner.
Them daze when a man who wasn’t
bizzy was watched, and when women
spun yarn to knit stockings.
How i du long for the good old dazo
when now and then a gal baby was
called Jerusha, and a boy wasn’t spilt
if he was named Jerrymier.
And ye who have the fethers and
fuss of life, who have the codfish r.f
w r ealth without sense under yore noze,
cum beneath this tree and long for an
hour with me for the good old daze
when men were shamed to be fools,
and women fraid to be flirts.

Editor Reporter: Please insert the
little scrap below. It shows the two
sides of a theological question. Who
is right, “that is the rub.” Both are
sustained by the Book.
Once upon a time, says the narra
tor, Lyman Beecher and Hosea Ballou
met to comp re Calvinism and Univer
ealism. Both were Bible men, and
came armed with textual missiles. Af
ter several apostolic blow r s from each,
shrewdly parried by the other, Dr-
Beecher opened to the ninth Psalm
and read. “The wicked shall be turn
ed into hfell, and all the nations that
forget God.” “There, sir, the wicked
are in hell; get them out if you can!”
Hosea Ballou, calm as a summer morn
ing, pointed to the twentieth chapter
| of John’s Revelation, and read. ‘Death
and hell delivered up the dead which
were in them.’ ” “There,” said Father
Ballou, “they are out; get them in a
gain if you can.”— Lagrange Reporter,
A Phenomenon.— A Scotch lecturer
undertook to explain to a village audi
ence the word phenomenon. “Maybe
my friends, ye dinna ken what a phe
nomenon may be. Well, I’il tell ye:
Ye’ve seen a coo (cow) na doubt. Well
a coo’s not a phenomenon. You’ve
seen an apple tree. Well, an apple
tree’s not a phenomenon. But when
you see a coo going up the apple tree
.tail foremost, to pull thte it’s a
phenomenon.’" .
‘‘Husband, I don’t know
boy got his temper, I am sure not
from me!” “No, my dear, for t don't
find that you have lost any.”

ABOUT THE DEVIL.
Hell in a Cliliicso Village.
A missionary stationed at Pekin, but
who had made a journey about two
hundred miles south of that city,
writes as follows, under date oi March
2:
10. 11.
On Saturday, November 27, we. ar
rived at Renchin, an awful place. I
wrote in my dairy “hell;” and, indeed
I bad a terrible sense of being on the
borders of the infernal regions. Little
girls of ten and twelve came wrapped
at my door. “Might they sing?”—
“Yes, sing.” And they sung very
sweetly for Chinese. Bat alas, the
words. My eyes were opened, and
I said, “gills, you must go.” Before
nightfall a number of prostitutes came
before my door and with the most un
blushing efirontry, sought to enter. —
They marched up and dowu the streets
in troops aud filled all the taverns.—
One of them suddenly entered my
room, while I was shaving, sat down
aud inquired “hud I any clothes to
mend ?” And so that word got iuto
my diary 7. Do you wonder ? Do not
their steps take hold on hell ? When
I learned at length, the history of
those women, I did not detest them
any more, but grew sad and pitiful.—
They had been bought for a few dol
lars, or at most, twenty or thirty dol
lars, at ages varying from four or five
to twelve or thirteen, aud the rest of
the story need not be told. If they
ply their trade (?) successfully they
receive their food and clothes, acd, if
not, they are turned off to shift for
themselves.
Can you imagine anything good in
such a place? I was quite amazed
the next day, to find in the very heart
of the city, a temple with the represen
tation of hell. This is intended to
startle the people into goodness. If
you can print anything so bad I will
attempt a partial description. Seated
in the centre, with tiie appearauce of
repose, and no suffering, yet looking
down sternly on the prisoner, was
King Ken. Before his majesty were
men kneeling aud praying for pardon.
At one end of the long room a man
was being transformed into a donkey.
The sprite who performed the job had
got tne man. horizontalized, and stand
ing upon what had been hands and
feet, but were now hoofs and was thon
at work upon the mane. (Rev. Ed
ward Beecher should have taken a trip
to China where he would have found
the doctrine of transmigration of souk,
already worked out. He might have
been saved much distressful logic.)—
At the other end of the building a
man was climbing the almost perpen
dicular ice mountain, and another was
descending, head down-ward. In tho
centre of the building, and a little to
the loft, stood a sprite sawing si man
through the middle from, head to foot,
and looking round at him with a hor
rid grin. A little to the right a man
climbing a red-hot post—“lire post.”
Near this last figure, was a bridge, with
some persons upon it w hose sins had
been remitted, and who were going
my informant didn’t exactly know
where. Some were thrust under the
bridge and were lying there.. One
man I saw whose body was nearly
gone, being crushed within the folds
of a serpent. Everything was nude
aud everything was dreadful, though
not so dreadful as the living, moving
panoramic hell 1 saw the night before
at the inn.
I stood, sabbath morning, before
this temple on a raised platform. It
was a fair day and on every side were
sales of articles large and small. I
commenced to speak, and immediately
all business was at au end, and there
was a hush. What did it mean ?
Perhaps it was the voice and manner
of the speaker, for what I had wit
nessed had made me terribly earnest
in rebuking sin and showing its real
and dreadful consequences. Not a
word from the large crowd to the end.
After preaching, a few books were giv
en, and we separated; and thr.t even
ing the old story was repeated. God
pity them. Three days after I arrived
home, having been absent 17 days and
traveled about 330 miles, all by c&rk—
I had intended to write something of
the attiifude of . the Chinese toward
foreigners, of which I havehad expe
rience. But that and other matters
must wait another month.— Krchange.
