It is a long story —but ono of interest. It is not ours—the story isn’t—but the discovery is—even if we had to go to ancient Rome to got it. Roi- lin's Ancient History furnishes tho facts which we hero relate, while the conclusion is ours. Of course there is no use to dwell long on the obaraoter of Anti- oohus Epiphanes whose name standi highest on the rolls of im piety and crime. Having biseiged the oity of Jerusalem, he took it by atorm, and daring the .three days it was abandoned to the fury of the soldiers, hi caused from sixty to eighty thousand men to be inhumanly butchered; ho exer- oised every ipecies of cruelty upon the citizens and unmercifully put to death all those who fell into his hands and whom he considered his enemies. He despatched Appollonius at the head of 22,000 men with orders to plunder all the cities of Judea, to murder the men, am _ in a most inhuman manner, in order to compel them to ewallotr swine’s flesh which their law for bade, and when they refuted ^ was so exasperated that he ordered pans and cauldrons to be heated and when they were red with heat caused the tongue of the eld est to ho cut off—had tho skin torn from his head and the ex tremities of his hands and feet out off—all thisliefere hisA%*tcer and brother*. Afterbeing Thus mutilated he was brought close 1 the fire and fried in the pan. Tit' second brother was then taker and after the hair of his head wit Ii his skin was tom away lie was likewise tortued as wore the re maining brothers—except t he Inst, tlie youngest who was more griev ously handled than tee rest. Then the mother was put to death Hearing sometime afterwards that- the Jews had revolted, lie as- sembled as his troops which formed a mighty army and de termined to destroy the whole Jewish nation, and settle ''other people in the country. He com manded Lysias, one of his gene rals to extirpate them root and branch—not to leave a single H(| brew in the whole country. When 9 in Persia advices were brought to™ him of the defeat of Lysias—he was told that the Jews had retaken the temple—thrown down the nl- tari and idols which he had set up, and re-established their ancient worship.

He isl crec that all nations within his dominions should forsake their old religion and gods, and worship those of the king, under the most severe penalties. Ho dedicated the temple at Jerusalem to Jupi ter Olympus, and set up his own statu* on the altar of burnt offer ing, and all who refused to come and worship this idol wore either massacrecd or put to some cruel tortues until they either complied or expired under the hands of the executioners. He put to death Eleazar one of the most illustrious of tho Jews—a venerable old man ninety years of age, and a doctor of law "whose life had been one continued series of spotless inno cence,” and his execution was ac companied with the most oruel tortues.

But* as his horses were run ning forward impetuously he fell from his chariot and bruised every part of his body in so dreadful a manner that he suffered inexpres sible torments and soon finished an impious life by a most misera ble and inglorious death. So it will be seen that append! citis is not a disease—but a pun ishment brought upon people fo r something or other. The Jewish nation and file whole nation owe it to themselves to rejoioe ove.JSio fact that the dootors of that day were not dealing in “euccessful operations”—for, had it been so, the vermiform appendix of Anti- oolins Epiphanes would perhaps have been removed, placed on the front of his chariot, still gory; and he would have proceeded to wipe from the world the most wonderful and successful raco of poople that ever placed their feet on God’s groin foot-stool. It was a close call—and some one is to be congratulated. Thoy owe their perpetuity to tardy Soienos.— Everything. Buckten’s Arnica Salvt , Has world wine fame for marvellous cures.

Oh Virtue! where hast thou hidden thy face 1 Oh, true merit apd just ice I Have ye flown from bur hearts to be gone forever! Dear friends and readers of these sets of society, I would ask you to atop and think: Is it right to debar any nice young man or woman from your midst because of his or her family? I trust I shnll not bo considered bold when I ask this question. Is there a family in Athens that, if their premices were thoroughly searched, or their ancestry ex amined closely, would not be made to blush because something ob jectionable had been discovered and brought to light? Well may you think! Remember that we oil more or less “live in glass houses," and we must not throw stones. Before you say he or she if of common origin, look back over your family history and see if there is not n skeleton or black sheep somewhere hidden. Treat every boy and girl as they per sonally deserve and merit. Keep a dose watch over your own heart, “aot woll your part, there all the honorliea.” Have apurposo, and that purpose keep ever in view.
