WAS IT A or,RAM?
Mapon 'Oral hie.
From my earliest youth I was taught
the doctrine that the dead are not res
urrected until the cousumatiou of all
things. Then will the angel of the
Txird proclaith in clarion voice from the
eagt to the west, and from the north to
the south, that time is,. and time was,
but time shall be no more ; 1 hat the
graves will open, and the dead come
forth to be judged. This doctrine, 1
repeat, impressed me with a feeling of
horror. I have listened with great iu
terest to arguments pro auo con upon
this subject, and never would I a low
my mind to entertain for an instam a
suggestion of its truth, until a few
nights siuic I wap convinced by oeeqlar
demonstration that it Was indeed a ti n h,
fearful and abhorrent though i is to
the feelings of a large proportion, if
not a 1 the children of men.
Last Wednesday after tea, my fiiend,
A. lb Livingston, who is a resident of
Tuscaloosa, a city of our sister State
Alabama, and myself took a stroll
through the city, over the hills that
sentinel-like, stand guard over this city.
The moon ever and anon emerged from
behind a veil of clouds that obscured it
for a moment, casls its bright shadows
on every side. We continued our walk,
occasionally pausing on the brow of a
b it to glance admiringly down ;lie val
b*y so greatly enhanced in beamy by
the quiet, sheen glittering rays of the
fair mistress of the night.
“.By my soul !”exclaimed Livingston,
ns wo hailed before the gates of Rose
Hiii,"how carelessly we have con inued
our stroll, for here we are at the gates
of this city of the dead, without having
observed that, our walk was leading us
to (his silent city.”
“Shall wo enter ?” I asked.
“By all means. I, for one, have no
superstitious fears of grave yards alter
sunset,” he replied.
A feel’ng of awe possessed me as I
walked beside my light-hearted fiioud
down the winding avenues. The melan
choly stillness which pervaded thisqui
et city, impressed my friend as Will as
myself, for I had observed for several
minutes he had walked on in silence.
At length we paused in the ravine where
the rippling water which flows from
Crystal Spring into the Ocmulgee.
“Here I intend to rest for a while,”
reUiarkod Liyingston, reclining upou a
^♦ustic seat.
I too sat down, and after a few mo
mentis the heavy breathing of my friend
indicated that he was far away in dream
land. For more than half an hour I
name after name was called ; some of
them 1 had known in life; yea, I even
distinguished the well-known voiocs of
loved and lost ones as they answored,
for He, who is our Savior, King, did
He not lay three days in the oold,dauip
walls of the grave ? If He f ho was
without sin, unspotted from the world
and its influences, passed through the
purification of the grave, how loug
should we, who are born in sin, wait, for
our resurrection ? Let us, then, re
joice m the goodness of our Lord, for
He daeth all things well. The time is
coming, the day nor the hpur we know
not, but ••here,” to this dreadful roll
call. I heard these words of the cup-
tain of the host us he addressed them :
rAllies FOR SALE.

New York, March 24.—A coroner’s
inquest regarding a baby thought to
have been poisoned, led to a queer rev
elation. The coroner found that the
baby was the adopted child of Mrs
Pardo. Mrs. Pardo told him a curious
story of traffic in babies. . Several,
months ago. she said, she bought a
baby from Mrs. Poise, of 59 Hullivan
street, for $5. She found the child was
not healthy, and returned it to Mrs.
Pose at the same time saying she was
willing to pay 910 for a healthy, b’ack
eyed girl haoy. Mrs. Pose promised
to find her cue, and on October 30th
slowed her another child. It suited
Mrs. Pardo, and she guvo Mrs. Han

round again our annual reunion. How
mauy new faces of the children of men I
see among us who were not with us at

slowly the reaper gathers together the
mighty army of humanity. How
slowly dt> they come to us, but with
lightning-like rapidity to the children

our imprisonment in our narrow earthly'
cells, it will surely come. Then we
will throw aside these eyidences of hu

and stand face to face before our King.
Then these years of waiting and watch

The baby throve. After that she
had trjuble with Mrs. Pose about the
child. Two weeks ago, Wednesday, a
colored girl named Sarah came to the
house, and was engaged as a servant.—
She warned Sarah against Mr. Pose,
but afterwards suspecied that the girl
was iu Mrs Pose’s employ. On Mon

A very perfect counterfeit silyer dol

knows whence it has come. It is the

The weight, size and color are the same

•There is only one way to detect
the difference. The ear of the Goddess
